-Social Misfits

The six of us walked silently down the hall. I was at the front of the group, and lead the way, even though I had no idea where I was heading. Oh well.

X-Ray was the first to speak. "Man, this is bullshit. There's so many damned rules, an' why we gotta work so long, huh?" We all sighed. True, we knew that the work part was only fair, seeing as we -had- been sent here to do so, but complaining was something we were good at. I turned around, walking backwards.

"X, man, don't get yerself all worked up. It's only a year, how bad could it be? An' 'sides, at least we'll be able to see real, live, breathing -females- again, am I right?" The others grinned. It'd been a long time since any of us had set eyes on a girl. Well, accept for the Warden, but, ugh, she didn't count. I grinned along with the others, then began to turn back around.

SLAM.

I ran right into a door flying open. No, I didn't run into it, it ran into me. Er, yeah. I fell to the ground, rubbing my nose. "What the Hell...?" I shouted, looking above me. A pair of thick glasses were staring down at me. Zero grabbed my shoulder and helped me back up. Damn, bloody nose.

"Ex-cues- me, but you six should be in -class- right now, not disturbing the rest of us. Now, move along." The man who had spoke was old and graying. Did he talk to all the students that way? Eh, he must have known who we were too. I heard a bunch of muffled snickers coming from inside the room. As the old man shut the door, I took a quick peek inside the room. My heart skipped a beat.

The guys saw the look on my face. "Squid? What's up with you? Yer nose hurt that bad?" Magnet asked me, my face expressionless. I shook my head, pointing to the window of the closed door.

"Look..." I managed to get out, stepping back so that he could see. He looked in and gasped. His face took the same expression as mine. By now the other five were anxious to know what was in there. X-Ray pushed past Magnet and looked in.

"What the Hell?!?" he shouted, running to another closed door and looking in. Then he went to another, and another. It was the worst thing that could happen.

Inside each of the rooms were about twenty to thirty desk, all filled. That wasn't out of the ordinary. It was what was -filling- the desk that was awful. In every classroom, each desk was filled with...

"GUYS!!!" X-Ray shouted, coming back with the rest of us. There was not a single girl in any of the rooms. Not even a female teacher! "Where are all the GIRLS?!" he yelled. I shook my head, along with the others. I looked at the others. Magnet looked as if he was about to burst into tears. Armpit looked at the floor, shaking his head. Zig Zag put his hands over his face, shaking his head as well. Zero just stood there, sighing. Remembering my nose, I wiped it with my sleeve, and took a long, hard breath. No one knew what to say. But that was ok, because the silence was soon ruptured.

"I thought I -told- you six, to -get to your classes-!" It was that same old guy, poking his head out of the classroom door. We all gave him evil glares, but turned and began our expedition down the hall once again. As we walked, we made sure to look in the windows of every room, but no luck. Its as if this school was anti-estrogen. Any hope of a decent time at this school had then and there, gone directly down the drain. Huh.

Finally, we reached the Housing Hall, but only by luck, because we still had no idea where anything was. I looked back at the paper in my hand and read the number again. 213.

"Hey, any a' youse in 213?" I asked the others, who were also looking at their papers. Magnet shook his head.

"Naw, I got 227." He looked over at Armpits papers. "I'm with this guy," he said, pointing to Armpits paper. X-Ray nodded.

"Yeah, an' I'm with Zero," he said, looking at both his and Zero's papers. I looked over at Zig Zag, hoping maybe he'd have 213 as well. He shook his head.

"I'm in 220." I sighed. Not only was I living in Hell, but I was living there alone, without my friends. Just my luck. Did I mention, I -always- got the short end of the stick? I guess I couldn't complain; Zig was alone too. But still, this school was turning out to be a nightmare.

"I'm gonna go change, then," I told the others, walking to room 213. They all nodded, walking to their rooms as well. I waved my goodbyes and entered my room, the farthest down from any of them.

The room was huge. Not only did it have two giant beds on each side, it also had an enormous bathroom, two large chests, two dressers, a full closet, a desk with a computer on it, a three seater couch, and a bay window, overlooking the grounds. The view was amazing. You could see for miles. You could even see the horse stables on the top of the hill. Ugh. The stables. I'd be cleaning up there tomorrow. I shook the thought from my mind and turned back to the room.

My trunk was placed carefully on the bed to the right of the door, with my duffle next to it. I walked over to it. Taking off me bloody shirt, I replaced it with a clean one, throwing the old one it the corner of the room. This place was too clean. Wouldn't be for long, though.

I walked into the bathroom, examining the faucets and toiletries. It had everything. A giant whirlpool, with soaps and shampoos of all kinds lining it, a gold rimmed shower, and a toilet fit for a king. I looked at myself in the enormous mirror. 'Maybe it won't be -so- bad...' I thought open-mindedly. No. 'Who am I kidding, it's a school full of preps, with no girls, and snoody-ass teachers galore. I don't fit in here.' I didn't quite realize just how right I was.

So, thats chapter 2! Whoo, I'm beat. I'll try to post more asap, but as Allister already knows, I have a -very- busy weekend, so... yeah...

Squid!Muse: It's ok babe, we all know you can do it.
