Chapter 1: Wild:
Donnie's POV:
"Donnie, you're gonna be late for school," says Mom.
"I'm coming!" I then slid down the rail. "I was thinking, do I really need school? I think I can do fine without it!" I then picked up some fruit with my foot.
"It'll be grand, Donnie, look wha' an education has done for me! Before I retired, I hosted one of the mos' popular nature shows there was quite," says Dad.
"Now, get going and remember..."
"I know, Mom," I said, "no jumping on people, no breaking things, and no other fun stuff!"
. . .
I could've taken the bus... but I decided to go the fun way! I then leaped from tree to tree. Oh, if you're wondering what my story is, I was raised by orangutangs, then I was taken in by the Thornberrys! Anyway, I arrived.
. . .
Harriet Hemenway High! I would rather be swinging in the trees, but since Dad retired from the world of animal documentaries, we're living in boring old civilization! Yawn! I then saw this cute girl and I leaped to her. "Whaht do you sink you ahre doing," asks the cute girl.
"I think if I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put 'U' and 'I' together," I said.
"Here ees whaht I sink of zat!" She then slaps me and walks away.
"Wow, TV was right, that doesn't work," I said.
"Don't worry about Anna," says this one guy, "she's pretty shallow. I'm Adam, by the way." I probably sound bad for telling you this, but he's African-American.
"Donnie," I said.
"I saw that leap," says Adam, "how'd you do that? You raised by apes?"
"Actually, yes," I said.
Adam then laughs. "Well, I better help you get to the principal," says Adam.
. . .
He then took me to the principal's office. "Mr. Thornberry," says Principal Long, "it seems you've been around."
"Yep, my family has traveled the world," I said, "my sister's made friends with every animal on the planet... well, except for the ones that have tried to eat her..."
"I see. Here's your schedule," says Principal Long.
. . .
Adam and I had the same first class, biology!
"Now, Class, we're going to be discussing the frog..."
"I've seen this on TV," I said, "she wants us to dissect frogs!" I then started jumping around, throwing everything! "Save the frogs!"
"We don't dissect frogs here; I was just going to talk about them!"
"Oh," I said. I then looked at Anna. "Uh-oh."
"Whaht ees eet?" I then, reluctantly, handed her a mirror and she saw. She then screamed and threw me in the trash. "You ahre a sahvage!"
"Wow, I'm the first guy who got dumped by a girl he didn't even get a date with," I said.
. . .
I was then in history class. "Hi, I'm Charlize Long."
"Long," I asked, "like Principal Long?"
"Yeah, he's my Dad."
"Alright, Class, time to talk about the exciting world of Ancient Rome!"
"He's nuts about this stuff," says Charlize, "me, I'm more into the Future!"
"Well... it seems no one's interested in talking about Rome..."
"I know how I can help," I said, "Ancient Rome has things like gladiators!" I then picked up a ruler and started swinging it around, but I then trashed the place.
"You ahre a mahniac," says Anna. There I go again.
. . .
Next was Math. "Now, I am going to write this mathematical equation." They start writing.
"Woah, a lot of symbols, huhh," I asked.
"Quiet! I'm trying to concentrate here!" She then looks at it carefully. "X=711!"
"That is correct, Miss-"
"Piper Yong-Yut! You will find I am the mental superior of... others!"
I had pencils in my nostrils. "I think she means him," I said.
"Where ees my fahvahrite penceel," asks Anna.
I then realized where it is and pulled it out. "Oops."
"You deesgust me!" I feel like I'm gonna make a murderer out of her!
. . .
Next was mythology. "I just took this class because I thought it would be an easy 'A'. I'm Nathan Palmer, by the way."
"I'm Donnie," I said.
"According to legend, the Titan, Cronus, the world's first king, devoured his children!"
"Ahre you een ahll of my clahsses," asks Anna.
"So far, seems to be the case," I said.
"This is a clay model of Zeus, the youngest child of Cronus, who saved his siblings and became the King of the Gods..."
"Cool, let me take a look at it," I said. I then picked it up. "RARR! I am Cornus! I eat my own kids!" I then started eating the clay model.
"I gaht nahtheeng," says Anna.
. . .
I was in lunch. I then started eating my lunch like a dog. "Man, I'm starting to think you were telling the truth about that raised by apes thing," says Adam, "mind if I sit with you?"
"Sure," I said.
"Mind if I sit here too," asks Charlize, "I thought that gladiator thing was kind of funny."
"Go ahead," I said.
"Me too," asks Piper, "I thought that pencil in your nose thing was gross, but I would like to study more of your... unusual behavior."
"Wouldn't be the first time," I said.
"Room for one more," asks Nathan.
"Pull up a seat," I said.
Nathan then goes to Piper. "Hey, I'm Nathan."
"Hey, I'm a lesbian," says Piper.
"Cool, that's cool," says Nathan.
"Thanks for sitting with me, Guys," I said, "but do you really want to? I'm kind of... an embarrassment!"
"We've all been there," says Adam.
"It's high school," says Charlize.
"I probably embarrassed myself when I bragged about my IQ," says Piper.
"I'm sure you'll be accepted," says Nathan, "you already got four people sitting with you now!"
"Yeah... I guess I do," I said.
. . .
Next was art. I then saw Anna. She had this "stay away from me" look.
"Alright, Class, you are going to do a self-portrait!"
I then looked at my canvas. I then looked at the paint. If I'm going to fit in... then I'm going to have to do it like everyone else... but then I realized something... despite how I kept making a monkey out of myself... four kids still sat with me! I then knew what to do! I then poured myself with paint and started using myself to paint the canvas!
"Done," I said.
"Young Man, that is..." the Teacher began.
"Magnifique! Look aht ze beauteeful structure he hahs mahde! I would naht hahve dahne eet myself, because eet ees deesgusteeng ahnd ze paint ees prahbahbly going to burn hees skeen, but ze result ees ze mahst ahmahzeeng sing I hahve evair seen! Perhahps I hahve meesjudged you! I ahpahlogize fahr sinkeeng you were ahn ahbahmeenahtion!" She then kisses me on the cheeks.
"Does this mean I have a chance," I asked.
She then laughs. "No, you're steell below my stahndards," says Anna.
"But you just kissed me twice," I said.
"I'm French! We ahlways do zat!"
She's right, the paint is burning my skin.
. . .
Well, this was my first day. Embarrassed myself, made some friends, and had a girl change her opinion of me. Guess this is the high school life.
It takes place in The Ultimate Ben 10verse and later in the Ultimate Advanceverse. It takes place during Half of Season 4, and the rest of Season 5 of All Grown Up Adventures, but before the One Year Later Epilogue of All Grown Up Adventures. In the next chapter, Donnie and his friends decide to form a band.
