Cassandra stood with wide eyes. Her little heart dropped to her stomach her fangxiety pushing her. Cassie was screaming on the inside, it was the dolls own fault for this. If she had asked before. But her fangxiety held her from doing so.
Cassie's own brain would make up several scenes in which all kept her from asking. Fangxiety kept Cassandra from doing many things, particularly talking to new people doing new things. To Cassie the roar of the lunchroom was getting louder and louder. Why was every bloody looking at her!? Her breathing became heavy and uneven.
Suddenly a wave crashed over her and she covered her ears falling to her knees trying hard to force everything to be quiet. Atomica once hexplained that during a panic attack like this Cass would go into what was called a 'sensory overload' which would cause her fangxiety to get worse.

"Wait, you were going to ask me to the dance...?" She asked in surprise before looking down at her knees once again. It had been quite sometime since she had attended a dance due to the hex-change trip and well, the last dance she attended was with Rosswell. So to go to a new dance with a new boo was certainly a new topic of discussion. She was torn at what to say in response, "I-um...don't know what to say, it's been quite sometime since I-" as she glanced back up, she realized Shad had lost his glasses, "Oh my! Can you see alright?" She had reached inside her bag and had pulled out a pair of her own sunglasses so Shad could be more comfortable, "These aren't the most masculine but they'll do for now." As she was giving him the glasses, she caught a glimpse of his eyes, but due to her not having her glasses on, she couldn't see too clearly. "Oh ghoul...um-uh, hold on for a moment! Don't put the glasses on!" She reached in her bag again, this time for her own glasses, and as she slipped them on, she caught a good look of not only his eyes but Shad as a whole, she was right, he and his eyes really were pretty. She blushed deeply at the sight, "Wow.."

In the distance, one could hear Astrid Fantasy choke on some macergroani over what just came to her ears and magical alicorn sensories. Her horn glowed a steaming hot red. One could wonder if such a horn so hot could fry her brain? Her face certainly proved so.
What do I do? Hide? React? Step up and prove my utterly undeniable beauty and superiority?"
Plots of comeback wheeled around in her head like a cotton wheel... No... If she was going to get this manster, she was going to need friends... Astrid calms her horn and looks around for some possible candidates...

Kai watched Layla create a brand new wave of Creepateria drama and sighed. He turned to Demona.
"So...still feeling nostalgic for ol' Monster High?" He sounded exhasperated, but there was also a little bit of humor in his voice - if it wasn't dramatic, it wasn't high school, right?
He stood up and tossed out the paper bag from his lunch.
"I'm going to give Lin and Cassie a hand...looks like they could use it." He also thought maybe it was beast if someone picked up Atomica off of Lin.

"Sweet Siren Song....it sure is a difficult task to stay the topic of discussion around here, hmm?" Essi giggled to herself. She felt a tiny bit bad for the ghouls getting their undead hearts crushed. She carefully waltzed right up to this conversation and picked a name from Layla's skull...container? Were those real? Quite fascinating!
..."Hexcuse me, pardon my grimterruption!" Ahh!
. .... "Might I have a different name...." Essi choose Lin.

Kai had helped roll Atomica Servo off of Lin, and together he and Lin had brought both Atomica and Cassie out into the hallway. Cassie didn't look good. Since she was a living doll, it wasn't like she was extra pale or anything...but her glass eyes seemed even glassier than normal."Are you going to be okay?" He asked the ball-jointed beauty, but she didn't answer. Lin shrugged."Don't worry about her, she's prob'ly just thinkin' about what she's going to wear to the ball.""O...kay. Are you guys going to be all fright?" But Lin was too busy trying to reboot Atomica, and didn't answer. Kai sighed, and headed back into the Creepateria.
Inside, he gathered up Estrella, Demona, Melody, Necrolin and Astrid."Listen, ghouls. Once the bell rings, Layla and I have to go to our next classes. The student-guided part of the tour is going to be over for you new ghouls. And you returning ghouls, you know the drill. You'll all be heading here-" Kai pointed to the Headmistress's office on the map that each of the new ghouls had."-To talk to the guidence counselor, Mr. D'eath. He's....uh, he's nice, though sort of a depressing monster to talk to. But he'll help you put together your scheudle for the next scaremester based on your records - if you have them. Otherwise he might have you take some quick tests to decide where to place you. That's what I had to do last year, since there weren't really any direct corrolation classes for things like Dragonomics in my old normie schools." Kai glanced over at Layla, who was still waiting for a reply from Gryff. Gryff didn't mind keeping a ghoul hanging."Layla and I hope that you enjoyed the tour, at least, and that you'll hit us up if there's anything else we can help you with. And also, like Layla said, you're all invited to the Howliday ball, and if you want to take part in the gift hexchange, go ahead and draw a name from this skull, and put your name in." Kai pointed at the name skull, sitting on a table next to Layla."Any other questions?"

Layla LaMia "Um... since it would appear you are coming to my Ball anyway, and if you have no plans to the contrary -- perhaps you would, I mean, you might consent -- to be my escort?"
But suddenly he was also hyper-aware that there was a lot of other attention attention focused in their direction. He thought he heard a clang and a tiny, winded grunt behind him.
It was not Gryff's original intention to go to "the ball." He did not believe in celebrating the appropriation of howlidays by other cultures, the normative formal functions that paired monsters into stereotypical couples and forced them to perform elaborate public mating rituals, nor events that didn't have tightly controlled guest lists to keep out the plebeian masses.
But Atomica and Lin were going, and he didn't want anyone's lameness to get his tribe. So he could deign to make an appearance and mock all the monsters who so clearly needed it.
He realized he was still starring at Layla." Your escort," he said flatly, stalling for time. The old fashioned work practically stuck in his throat. He only managed to force it out because it was also acceptably vintage.
Layla's tail twisted faster." Um-" Layla had never asked anyone out before. She was breaking some kind of royal protocol probably. She was definitely pulling an unexpected Sadie Hawkins. And it meant Gryff was getting basically the most exclusive invitation of all." Yeah. Sure. Call me with the details." He pulled a name out of the skull without looking at it, shoving it into his pocket where despite their extreme tightness, it disappeared without a single tell-tale bulge in his impeccable silhouette. From somewhere, he pulled out a pen and a scrap of paper, dropping his own name into the skull.
Was that another, louder thud he heard somewhere behind him, and a stream of gremlin expletives? His eyes darted momentarily to the side before refocusing on Layla." I better check on that," he said, walking away.

Demona walked over picking out a name, she had a goofy grin on her face as she was enjoying the torture Cassie was under. It was almost too good to be true. Of course Damon wouldn't approve of Demona getting a kick out of the dolls terrible mental health. Demona glanced at Gryff
"you should take better care of your toys" She smirked finding the comment hilarious then wrote her own name down and throwing it into the skull before walking off

*RIIIIIIIING*
Just as suddenly as it had started, the lunch hour was done. Student bodies shambled towards the exit, dreading the hexams in their next classes. Only four hours left until they were free...free for winter break!

"Doooooooooooooooooot." Atomica rebooted successfully and sat up. "Welcome! You've got mail!"
"Darn it, I thought we got rid'a that in your last update..." Lin grumbled as he closed up Atomica's back panel. He had dragged Atomica and Cassie out of the way of foot traffic just before the bell rang - no small feat for a gremlin! Now he was in a bit of a grouchy mood, though. Getting insulted by Harry Herne and then crushed by a malfunctioning Atomica while Cassie did the doll equivalent of the Blue Screen of Death sort of took the glow off the day for Lin.
Atomica buzzed a little bit as she checked her hard drive for reasons for her crash. Things were making more sense now.
"Did anyone tell Harry that he needs to take a total chill pill? Cuz like...I think he's going corpseporate because he thinks Woestock was way bogus when it in fact ruled most frighteously."
Atomica's slang module was always on it's earliest setting before she fully booted up, but Lin got what she was saying.
"That jerk? Forget him! He insulted GRYFF! Which means he insulted us! Which means if I see him, I'm going to make sure his iCoffin explodes!"
Atomica mulled on this for a bit. No, this was not right. Even though Harry committed the cardinal sin of insulting Gryff, this was no way for the BOGANGLES to end. Not when Atomica and the Rest in Peace were so close to becoming the most popular ghouls in school! Harry had to know what he'd accomplished.
"Look. I'll find Harry and talk to him. I bet I can get him to apologize to Gryff."
"And if not?" Lin asked, suspiciously.
"Then I'll activate my atomic death ray, duh!" Atomica looked at Cassie. "You REALLY need to reboot Cassie anyways. See ya!"
"But-but she doesn't-" Lin sputtered, but Atomica was already on her way. Her eyes glowed green as she switched to a scanning view, looking to locate Harry Herne somewhere in the building. Once she locked on him, there would be no escape.

Cassie stood, the silence calmed her down a bit.
"Lin? Am I apart of the tribe?" She managed to ask the smaller, her words forced out.
She always thought the answer was yes, Gryff included her, Gryff trusted her to get him claw-ffee. She went shopping with Atomica almost daily and she often.... occasionally....rarely....once in a blue moon helped Lin with inventions.
But was she truly a member If so then why? why would every bloody say three? Why was she tossed aside like a, Doll.

Peggy rolled over and checked her alarm clock. "Fangtastic, I'm late!"
She hurried to get ready, throwing clothes on and hoping they went together. Heimdal tsking at her from the desk. "I told you that your.. extracurricular activities would affect your studies."
She rolled her eyes and grabbed her backpack. "stuff it, Judgey McRamerston" he scowled before jumping into her bag. Peggy headed out, soon entering the Creepeteria. Seeing it empty, she trotted back out to the hallway. Hopefully she could catch her next glass

The end of the lunch period meant Draconia had to rush to Mad Science. She wanted to finish her test early so she could be hexcused to do final set-up for the Drama Class play. She and her lab partner, Scarah Screams, would do one final experiment for Mr. Hackington, and then she would be free!
"Just a little longer...." Draconia assured herself. After all the craziness of the lunchtime, she hoped that the rest of the day would go much....MUCH smoother. This play meant so much for her...

"Hopefully I can focus on this hexam..." Melody said to herself silently walking into her class room and setting things down.
"Today certainly has been...interesting.."
She sighed as she set her notebooks and pencils on her desks, preparing herself for what was to come. Sure she was ready for her hexam, she had always been ready for hexams.
Her mind suddenly switched to Shad, seeing him clearly for the first time and how deep his crimson eyes really were. She smiled shyly letting the thought soak in her head.
Well, almost always had been ready for hexams.

Just as Astrid was about to leave the creepateria angry and heartbroken, a sly kitty stops her in her tracks. "Meowwww~" the orange cat purred, "Heyyy, new girl~" Astrid raises an eyebrow. There was something incredibly slick and mischievous about her. "Yeah...? Who are you?" Astrid responds with wild curiosity. The feline smirks as she twirls around her and quietly mentions a little something to the space horse. Astrid smirks mischievously. That indeed was a superb plan. She was going to get that Gryff around her finger in no time.
(more added later)
