Dashner swallowed hard and smiled awkwardly, taking the seat beside Marceline LaGhede. He took off his sun glasses, and rested his chin in his palm.
"Bro, this is like, do boring. Is it time for the bell to ring?"
Dashner managed to smile, and took a deep breath, and Ms. Kindergrubber walked in to quiet the class down.

Marceline's stared at Dashner incredulously. "Now I know you did not just call me BRO, Dashner Hawke!"
Before Dashner had a chance to respond, the bell rang, and Ms. Kindergrubber shuffled into the classroom as the class fell silent. She looked over the students through her thick glasses with a pleasant expression.
"Welcome," she began. "to Home Ick-onomics. We're going to start the scaremester by going over the syllabus and recipes we'll be covering, followed by a refresher on kitchen safety. Miss Stein, if you could start us off with the first part of the syllabus..."
Marceline leaned her head against her skeletal hand; if she were alive, she'd be dying of boredom! She just wanted to get started on cooking right away, and now she had to sit through all the pedantry of the first day of school... She began wondering why she ever gave up tombschooling, which made her wonder how Rorrim's first day was going. Reaching into her purse, she pulled out her small compact mirror, setting it on the table unopened for the time being.

Hellene gasped as a sheet of goo came right at her, it's insolvable stickiness heading right for her favorite dress in the whole left hand side of her first closet...AND STOPPED.
Barely a foot away the goo spread in a sheet over an invisible wall. No, it was an Invisi Billy wall! Her lab partner flickered slowly back into sight, his face scrunched up with disgust.
" So much for my hat now," he muttered. " My hero!" exclaimed an astonished Hellene, and very nearly flung herself into her arms for a hug before her better sense caught up with her. " Er, thank you so much you really are the best partner I could ever hope for. I'll make it up to you I swear though I don't know how I'm not a very good screamstress so I can't replace the hat but I'm sure something will happen," and found a clean space on his left hand to pat.BRRRRING!Hellene detached the now slightly oozy shoulder strap from her bag and brightly skipped out the door while she texted her beastie.[text]D- I will see u at Screamhaven on Wed![/text]

Dashner groaned. This was always the worst part of every class- the rules. The rules were just endless pages of non stop-
Ms. Kindergrubber paused. "Do you have a comment to add, Mister Hawke? Perhaps, you can help with our first rule of business- Respect."
Dashner slumped down in his seat as the entire class turned and stared at him and Marceline. Marceline gave him another look before the entire class faced frontwards again.
"No mam, Ms. Kindergrubber." He replied, and Frankie continued with her reading.

The responsibility of reading the syllabus went around the room, from monster to monster, before the last line came to Marceline.
"Final Presentation -- due date to be determined." She read. "Student bodies will present a rec'pe to the class, with step-by-step 'nstructions on how to prepare. Rec'pes must be mem'rized, and will need to be approved by the instruct'r."
"Well done," Ms. Kindergrubber smoothed the folds of her apron as she stood from her desk. "But you must work on your enunciation, Miss LaGhede!"
"Um, yes Ms. Kind'rgrubber." Marceline squirmed.
"Now, then!" Ms. Kindergrubber pulled a string from the ceiling, lowering a projection screen. "We will now go over kitchen safety guidelines, to make sure you all are prepared for your first lab! Please pay attention to this video, as you will be quizzed on it!"
Exasperated groans rippled through the class. Ms. Kindergrubber turned on the film projector in the back of the classroom, which began playing an outdated and severely warped safety video on the many hazards in one's kitchen. Marceline stared at her blank notebook, thoroughly bored by the video; Maman had been letting her help in the kitchen since her hair just barely cleared the countertops, so she was well-versed in kitchen safety.
She glanced around the classroom as monsters fell asleep around her; Frankie Stein, meanwhile, was watching with wide eyes and scribbling notes at a maddening speed, as if this information was entirely new to her. Dashner was out cold beside her, his wings folded over his head; Marceline poked him with the eraser end of her pencil, but his wing swatted it away.
Carefully eyeing Kindergrubber, she opened her compact on the table and angled it to frame her face.
"Rorrim," She whispered into the compact, "Rorrim, Rorrim, Rorrim..."
"I hope you're reciting the Five Common Safety Hazards in the kitchen, otherwise I shouldn't hear a peep!" Ms. Kindergrubber's keen sense of hearing honed in on Marceline's whispering. She slunk into her chair, trying to feel smaller.
"Yes, ma'am..." She sighed, slapping the compact shut in defeat.

"Now, before we bring our first day to a close," Miss Kindergrubber stated. "I am going to hand out a special homework assignment."
The entirety of the class groaned but the kindly teacher paid the nay-sayers no mind and she looked around the class through her spectacles until she spotted a student she could call upon, seated clear in the back of the room, attempting not to be noticed.
"You." She said, pointing. "Mister Gloom."
Shadeaux looked around, then over his shoulder to find only the wall behind him. He then pointed at himself.
"Me?"
"You are the only Mister Gloom here in this class."
The other students chuckled kindly at the teacher's joke and she beckoned 'Shad' forward with a wave of her finger.
"Join me at the front of the class, if you would be so kind."
Slowly Shadeaux crept up from his chair and he shuffled his feet between the rows of desks. He had sat in the back for a reason; the better to avoid being called on and attention not to be drawn upon himself. He got to the front of the class and Miss Kindergrubber grasped him by the arm and wheeled him around to face everyone.
For an old gal, she was strong!
"Now," She said in a loud, clear voice. "Tell the class your favorite meal."
Shadeaux looked at her from behind his dark shades and she nodded. He turned back and thankfully, his glasses hid his eyes so he could avoid any eye contact with all those kids staring at him!
"Um..." He stammered. "I-I-I like chipped b-beef on t-toast."
"Chipped beef on toast!" Miss Kindergrubber clapped her hands together, giving Shad a start. "Very good! That is to be your homework assignment today, class. I wish for each of you to find and bring in a recipe for that dish. Tomorrow we will prepare it here in class and you will each add your own special touch to it. And Mister Gloom here..." She patted his arm. "...Will decide the best."
Shadeaux gaped at her for handing such a responsibility to him on his FIRST DAY at Monster High and almost protested when...
**BRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!!!!!!!**
And Shad yelped in surprise at the sound of the school bell and rocketed into the air and came right down into Miss Kindergrubber's arms!
She looked at him as surprised as he was embarassed. She cleared her throat and addressed the class nonchalantly,
"And that concludes our first day! See you tomorrow!"

Merabell walked around the school grounds and stoped at the physical deaducation door and sighed " another year at Monster High and I'm still nervous about physical deaducation i hope it doesn't end up like last year." She took a deep breath and head inside the gym.

It was then the third day of school... By now, most were more comfortable with anything about Monster High. Dashner secretly dreaded going to Home Ick that day, because he had to sit beside Marceline, who had ignored him all through their chat with Rorrim two nights before.
Dashner sucked in a deep breath and walked into the locker corridor. He was met by his very close friend, Roswell Grey.
"Dash! Hey bro!" Dashner and Roswell exchanged their usual bro-fists. "What is up? You seem down."
Dashner managed another fake smile. "I'm great, bro! Nothing to worry about." Dashner knew that Roswell could tell that was a mistruth, but he rolled with it anyway.
Dashner put all of his needed text books in a bag, and stood with his back against the wall to wait for the bell to ring.

"Day three! Day three! It's day threee!" Doriana stopped and wondered. "Oh dear, do I have neigh time to be singing?"
She hurried into the school. It was day three, and she already loved it way more than her old school, Seven Seas High. She saw Ronan Aalto, and stopped.
"Hello there, Ronan!"

Ronan was busy transferring books from his locker into his bag for the next period, he looked up as he heard Dori's voice and nodded a tentative greeting. "Good morning Doriana." He still wasn't sure about the girl or quite what her intentions were. Last time they'd spoken she'd insulted his bloodline, least, so he had insinuated, even though she'd apologised he didn't really believe she meant it. As a result, his tone was a little tense with the Selkie ghoul, he half expected another jab at his parentage. "To what do I owe the pleasure?"

Draconia walked into school and was immediately assailed by more gossip about Nero's circus defection. She had been hoping that it would die down by now. It did seem that the student bodies were divided - half of them were gossiping about something Howleen Wolf had done yesterday, the other half still buzzing about Nero and Lin. Draconia had to admit that Howleen was a monster she didn't think about very much. It wasn't that she didn't like her, it was just that Howleen was so tiny and below her usual range of sight. And when it came to paying attention to tiny things, Glen, who was a wired ball of green energy, often seemed to take up her entire range of view.
In fact, she saw him skateboarding towards the school at a breakneck speed right now...heading right for her...
"Uh oh..." Draconia braced for impact!

"DRAKIIIIIEEE!!!"
Glen saw her right there as he raced so quickly across the school grounds, he caused many a homework assignment to fly out of a student's arms in a whirlwind and hair disasters en masse! He poured on the 'gas' and leaned in to get to her even faster when he suddenly put on the proverbial breaks as he skidded right up toward her -- did a flip flop in mid-air, right over her head (barely missing her!) and instead ended up crashing right into Manny Taur who had been approaching Draconia from the other direction.
"Well that was certainly a silly place to be standing!" Glen reprimanded Manny as he disentangled himself from the crumpled form of the big minotaur boo.
Glen jumped up and pulled his skateboard out from beneath Manny. He then lent a hand to his big bluddy and as Manny accepted and Glen gave a tug (he was jut a tad stronger than his size indicated), Glen turned and saw Draconia just emerge from where she had ducked, readying herself for the impact he had almost delivered.
"DRAKIE!"
Glen let go of Manny's hand and the minotaur landed back on the ground with a thump. Glen ran over to Draconia and levitated right up to eye-level, his body completely tense with nerves... excitement ... something was terribly wrong!
"IjustcamefromGraveExpectationswhereIboughtthis..." He held up his new Spellbound portfolio with a quick smile. "AndBousaidlastnighthesaw..."
Glen then stopped and paused, remembering what his Drakie had said about talking so fast when he got excited (which was pretty much all the time) and he hit reverse...
"wasehthgintsaldiasuoBdnA... sihtthgouberehwsnoitatcepxEevarGmorfemactsujI"
He paused to catch his breath, then begun again.
"Drakie! I just came from Grave Expectations! I bought this..." He held up his portfolio proudly and flashed a micro-second smile. "I was talking to Bou and he told me last night he was Nero taking Kai to the circus! Bou notices everything! He said Kai was happy and said he was going to... to... JOIN THE CIRCUS FREAKSHOW! HE QUIT MONSTER HIGH!!"

Dashner pulled his voice down to a whisper."Bro, I didn't get a chance to tell you this morning, but I'm sorry about the whole thing last night. I just..." He sighed. "I will tell you later."He said goodbye to Ronan, and he went to catch up with Marceline."Marcieeeeee."It took him awhile to catch up. By then, he was out of breath. She looked at him like he had just come out of a chicken refinery."Was... There... Any... Home... Ick... Homework?" He panted.
