I hoped you liked the first chapter, because here is the second one!

I don't own MU, just Paige. And I also don't own Molly, she belongs to RadioactiveSabley!

And thanks for all the reviews!


"Glad that's over with," Paige sighed happily as she strolled through the beautiful campus that was becoming more and more familiar to her. She was hoping to find Mike afterwards, but the little monster had dashed away before you could say scare, most likely exploring. Which is what she should be doing, she reminded herself as she followed a tour guide leading freshmen around. Paige quickly jumped into their group, unnoticed, and listened intently to what the student leading it plugged into their new minds. The various freshmen introduced themselves to another and exclamations of happiness could be heard from across the campus when another monster found out that another freshman was with them. Paige felt bummed that their wasn't another sophomore with her to share this experience with, but she figured that once she found her roommate that they would hit it off.

The guide showed them the various buildings where the majors' would be taught to their young minds from the Science Majors to the Business Majors to her major, and the crown jewel of MU, the Scaring Major Building. To her, it was designed to look like a palace entrance with its large white pillars that kept the large and ominous school in place. On the arch it Cleary said: Scare School in large black letters with sharp fangs pointing downwards and two large gargoyles sat on either side of it staring ahead as if it was protecting the building from those who didn't belong.

Suddenly, the tour guide turned around to face her large group of students with the same cheerful grin as Fray, Jay, and Tray all wore," have a great year and a great...oh, whatever go!" She groaned, no longer interested in staying in character for them. She shooed them along the way where sure promises they would find clubs that fit their interests. The new high school graduates scurried past her and Paige to the clubs and Paige followed suit.

Following the crowd of students, she eventually found exactly what she was looking for: the clubs of MU. Paige grinned and slowly bounded down the hill that was right above the booths of clubs. She had her all about the clubs from her mom and was eager to see a few, and even more excited to see if any new clubs had popped up since her mother's university days. The astronomy clubs, art club, improve club, and debate club. Paige scowled at the memory of her mother suggesting she join the debate club because it was her favorite thing to do.

As she reached the bottom of the hill, she saw the same monster who had called her sweetie inspecting the differently designed booths with four other monsters trailing behind him, all wearing similar apparel with RΩR logo on it.It has to be one of those frats where all the 'popular people' are, she thought to herself. They laughed at each booth as if their fellow monster's interests were joke to them. As the purple monster turned her way, she ducked behind the first table which was the Botany club with its various plants poking around it; it served as a perfect hiding spot from the RΩR frat brothers.

"Umm, why are you hiding?" A familiar voice questioned from behind her, and Paige whirled around expecting to see the bushy eyebrow monster, but her luck gave her Mike. She stood up quickly and dusted herself off. Mike's one eye watched her with suspicious and confusion. Paige smoothed out her clothes and looked around quickly for the senior, but he was out of sight

Paige rubbed the back of her head nervously, "no reason. Just...just smelling these plants." She grasped a flower in her hand and took a deep breath, allowing the intoxicating smell to fill her up. She tried to stop herself from gagging, because the flower's smell was not as pleasant as its appearance. She practically threw the flower back on the booth where its managers gasped in horror and tended to the poor flower.

"I see," Mike replied, "I wanted to show you something, Paige. I got this when I was looking for clubs." Mike unraveled a neatly folded paper out of his left hand and placed it carefully in her own and the two monsters walked down the aisle of booths slowly. Paige examined the paper and understood immediately why Mike had taken an interest in it.

The paper was decorated in a way similar to the way Fear Tech designed their own Scare Games, but instead of the Greek Council, it was called the Roman Council. On the paper read: MU Scare Games. Prove You're The Best accompanied by a trophy in the middle with monsters hidden behind it. She looked down at Mike who was looking up at her expectantly as if he expected her to tell him to go for it. But, Paige had heard the rumors about the Scare Games, and if they were anything like the ones at Fear Tech, Mike would be sent to the hospital. Plus he would need to join a fraternity or sorority, and although she wouldn't admit it allowed, she knew very few of them would accept him into their tight groups.

But she couldn't dash his hopes, and he was full of them. Couldn't look down at him and say no, like she did with Alex. So she lied, "go for it." Mike looked startled, before smiling and snatching the paper from her hand and taking off. He grasped his hat to his head and raced off towards tall yet wide buildings which could only be the dorms. Paige decided that after she was finished looking at clubs she would head to her room and meet her new friend, or roommate.

At Fear Tech, the females had all been tough and overly confident that they could walk around naked after the holidays and think they were the most gorgeous beings in the monster world. They fought over men like trophies, and would go after any female who looked at their exes which thrilled their male counterparts, and disgusted Paige. She didn't want that; it wasn't love, it was obsession. She wasn't afraid of any of the females, but she wished they could have been more feminine.

While lost in thought, she completely forgot about asking Mike about his schedule to see if they would ever cross paths while traveling around the university, but it was too late. And now she wanted to get the clubs over with quickly. She hadn't had a chance since she had run into Mike and the RΩR, and she was thinking about one or two. The various booths were set up similar to the ones from Fear Tech, and each booth manager sold the club with a giant smile or an interesting catch.

"Capture the moment in the Photography club," a female student greeted her and passed her a flyer with a large camera plastered on it. Paige grasped the paper with excitement; this wasn't a club at Fear Tech, she didn't even know that there was a photography club.

"Eat right and scare well with the Fit for Life Club," a girl panted and handed Paige a sweat soaked paper from running in place for so long. The girl hand four legs and three eyes, plus two green arms but she continued to jog without stopping. Paige was tempted to offer her some water, but a male came along and replaced her by jogging in place for her.

Paige continued walking down the aisle from club to club and pretty soon they all blended together for her. Creative writing, astronomy, drama club, and the mystery club.

A small monster, only slightly taller than Mike, handed her a flyer and adjusted his glasses. He wore an incredibly bored expression on his purple scaled face, and he glared at her as if she was a fly that wouldn't go away, "at the mystery club, we solve problems around the school. For example, who attacked you and gave you that hair cut?"

Paige wasn't sure how to react at first, if she should laugh it off or slap him across his ugly face. No one had ever been so blunt with her before, it was like a kick in the gut. Paige had to keep herself from strangling the monster, "or, who let you leave the house looking like that?"

"That's no way to talk to a lady, you rude piece of garbage!" Paige hissed, surprising the monster who hadn't expected her to react so violently. She was livid, however, for being treated like that by someone shorter than her too! Paige shoved the flyer back into his hands, and stomped off, the horns on her bone mask growing rapidly and pointing upwards the way they did whenever she was angry. The nerve, I bet he wonders why he is single sometimes, Paige fumed silently as she grew tired of the different clubs when none seemed to grab her.

And the Fashion club was no different from the Mystery club, except the gorgeous pink haired python monster put in charge of it. She was filing her nails and nesting her phone on her shoulder talking away to someone. Her named tag read: Heather Olson, Honorary Member of Python Nu Kappa.When she saw Paige walking by she scoffed and flipped the phone off, rushed over to her and dragged her to the table.

"Honey, what happened to your face?!"

"Um...nothing?"

"And don't even get me started on your clothes! One question, why?"

Paige stared into the girl's three eyes in horror, "what...the hell?"

The girl drummed her fingers on her chin, before snapping her fingers. She turned around and faced her again with a bright pink makeup bag in one hand and a brush in the other, "this will be hard...but I'm going to prove to the others, that I can make anyone look beautiful!"

Before the girl could dab the brush into the blush, Paige was on her feet and growling, "I look fine! What is with you?!" The girl stared at her in shock, and began to tear up as if she had heard the world was coming to an end.

"But...but I only want to help your face problem."

Paige's eye twitched, "face...problem? You're kidding."

With rage in her eyes, Paige pushed past the pink haired monster and took her four fingers then proceeded to comb her hair viciously. What's up with these people!? They're all crazy! Paige began to lose all hope of finding a decent program with a decent leader.

That was until she saw the martial arts club.

Paige practically tripped over other students to the booth that held her favorite pastimes; martial arts. Her mother had taken it upon herself to make sure that Paige had a heavy interest in the subject and trained her. Paige was sure that with her skill she was a black belt. She grabbed a flyer off the table before the manager of the booth could greet her and assault her with information about the club, "well, I know an martial artist when I see one! The name's Sam Freeman, but everyone calls me Heat Fist. I'm vice-president of the martial arts club."

Heat Fist was a lean oak colored monster with a scar running down his left eye. He had four sets of arms and two long legs that allowed him to tower over her more than the eggplant, but he just seemed friendlier, but still loud. "Yep, I love martial arts!" Paige informed and the monster offered her a large smile.

"Wow, it's great to have another martial arts fanatic," he announced, "not more noobs." He whispered the last part, but Paige was still able to catch it and she decided immediately that this was her club.

"I think I'll join. How do I sign up?" Paige questioned.

The monster clapped, "Great! Tomorrow night, will have a training session and then I will talk to you afterwards. See you around!"

Paige waved goodbye to Heat Fist who waved right on back and karate chopped the air when she turned around. According to the registration packet, the dorm for the sophomores was right above the floor for the freshmen. Paige was slightly disappointed that she didn't get her own dorm building and had to share it with monsters that might have never been away from home for a week. She passed by old friends happy to see one another again after the break and lovers hug each other in a cliche fashion that made her want to puke.

She found the dormitory and admired the unique design of the building as it was different from Fear Tech. It looked more like a large house then a dorm with its nice windows, crafted bricks, and window ledges that formed horns or fangs. Even the chimneys were designed to look like something related to claws, and jutted out of the top of the already large building. She opened the doors to the lobby just inside. Many monsters sat around on comfy looking lounge chairs and struck up conversation with nearby monsters. It was simple and neat with its area for mail, and just sitting around. Paige strode over to the front desk where another slug monster with horns pointing out of either side of his head and blue skin with lighter stripes. His two antenna attached eyes looked at her and he asked her for her name.

"Paige, Paige Jordan," she answered and the slug bent down to rummage through other key's for her own room.

He handed her the keys, "here you go, Miss. Jordan. You know, your roommate is a scarer too. Even if her brothers are jokes, she's a good student."

Paige mumbled thanks and led herself away from the slug knowing she might become upset for him making fun of someone's sibling. She knew that is she ever heard someone teasing Alex that there would be no place in the monster world where they could hide from her wraith.

The inside of the dorm was decorated with blue carpeting, tanned walls where the lower section was covered with oak, and the occasional dips in the walls gave way for a oak door with a number signed on it. Racks for various small objects, maybe mail, sat below the numbers and Paige searched for the number 435. After some searching and dodging monsters in the halls, her room appeared on the left and she placed the key in the lock then pushed it open.

When she opened the door, a female bat monster with a brown coat and a long white tail that was stripped with orange and blue standing on a stool greeted her. She had long arms with thin fingers that almost poked out like brown sticks and sharp claws at the end. Around her neck was what Paige concluded to be a white fur collar and a pale face that made her purple eyes stick out like a monster in the human world. Fur formed on her hair and pooled down like a blanket of hair and pointed ears that looked sharp to the touch. She was humming along, unaware of Paige, and placing posters of famous scarers on the side she had claimed as her own.

"Hello," Paige spoke up and the monster looked at her like she was seeing a ghost.

She climbed off the bed that she had placed orange sheets on top of, "hey...you must be Paige Jordan, right?" Her voice was shy and quite as if she was unsure that she could speak properly. She clasped her fingers together and rocked awkwardly on her feet with nervousness. Paige was tempted to shake her hand, but the poor monster already looked frightened enough.

"That's me," Paige tried to joke, but the monster continue to look down and avoid her gaze, "And you are?"

She shook her head and rubbed her head, "my name's Molly, Molly Perry. Sorry about the mess, I was...just hoping I would have a room to myself.

Paige cocked her head to the side, "why?"

Molly returned to sticking posters on her wall, "It's just; I'm not really a monster person. I'm kind of...you know, awkward." She jabbed a nail into the wall, and smacked her palm on it for extra measure. Paige saw that her things were dumped on the unclaimed bed and she walked over to it to unpack, "so...um, where did you go before MU?"

"Fear Tech," Paige answered simply, but a gasp from the female told her that it wasn't so simple.

Paige turned around to see that Molly had dropped her things and was staring at her in shock, "F-Fear Tech?! You went there, the ultimate rivals of this university!?" Molly's purple eyes were warm with fury and Paige frowned in response. She's not awkward, just shy.

"That's the one," Paige continued and began to unravel her sheets from her bag, but Molly just stared at her, "what's wrong?"

Molly fidgeted again, "well, you see...IT'S SO COOL TO MEET SOMEONE FROM FEAR TECH!"

Paige blinked in utter confusion, "but didn't you just say that Fear Tech is the enemy of MU?"

Molly flicked her wrist in a forgetful manner, "well, yeah, but those Fear Tech dummies are too afraid to step foot on our campus. I mean, if I-" Suddenly, Molly shut her mouth and just stared blankly at Paige, "sorry, just forget about that okay?"

Paige opened her mouth to ask, but settled on not asking. She wondered why Molly shut herself down so quickly as if talking to her in an upbeat fashion wasn't allowed. Shrugging absentmindedly, Paige returned to fixing her bed with its red and orange colors that her Fear Tech friends had pushed upon her to take with her to MU to show her 'fear pride.' Then started with posters of her own, famous scarers and old musicians that she loved since she was little and smaller photos of her with Alex or her mother. She glanced over at Molly's stuff and sure enough it was decorated not so differently from her own; posters of famous scarers, and family photos stuck in different places. When she squinted, she could see another male monster...with two heads like Alex, but they looked like two separate monsters.

Paige frowned, so why wasn't there two Alex's?

After her unpacking, Paige flopped down on her bed and buried her maroon face in the pillow before taking a deep breath. She didn't know how tired she was until she had laid down on the brand new bed, and it looked like Molly had done the same. They hadn't spoken to another since Molly silenced herself.

"So...you joining any clubs?" Paige questioned, looking over at Molly who was staring at the white ceiling.

"Yeah, I was in baking last year and I'm thinking about it again this year too," Molly answered, and faced her roommate, "you?"

"I'm going to try the Sports Club."

"Good luck, everyone who tries out never makes it."

"Thanks," Paige responds dryly, but Molly quickly sits up and shakes her head.

"I didn't mean to offend you," Molly apologized and crossed her legs while letting her long leathery wings hang out, "It's just…all of the guys there are super sexist."

Paige nodded, understanding, "yeah, today I saw this one guy that looked more like an oversized eggplant than a monster, and he was trying to flirt his way through the registration."

Molly stifled at laugh, "an oversized eggplant? That's good, but I think the monster you're talking about is Johnny Worthington." Paige sat up and faced Molly who looked ready to continue explaining, "He's the president of Roar Omega Roar, the top frat on campus, and he's also the most pompous guy I have ever seen. Not to mention he's a total—

"—player?" Paige finished and Molly nodded in agreement.

"He's rude to everyone outside his little group and he's such a bully," Molly said crossly and her eye brows matted together with anger, "he just judges books by their covers." Molly spoke with a voice full of anger and hate, and Paige questioned why she didn't like him so much. Paige nodded, understanding how Molly felt, because she had met plenty of those types of guys back at Fear Tech, and never understood what the females found so interesting about them. Sure, some were good looking but they were all pains in the tail and bullies who picked on people because they could. And she figured that was the type that this Johnny Worthington was.

"Is that the time?!" Molly exclaimed in surprise, "I…I forgot all about dinner!" Paige glanced over at Molly's alarm clock where the bright red numbers 10:30stared back at her, and Paige scrunched up her nose. She had no idea that she had sat there through dinner and she still hadn't talked to Mike.

"How about," Paige began, catching Molly's attention before she was about to offer a goodnight, "will wake up early and head over to one of the campus cafes?"

Molly smiled, an actual genuine smile, not the shy ones she offered before, "I think I would like that…Paige."


Chapter 2 is done! About time, I was super tired when I was writing this last night. I'm sorry that the story is moving a bit slow, I just want to have a lot of detail, and other things as well. Please forgive me!
