Animal School: chapter 1

Cindy woke up and got her things together in her bedroom as it was another day of school for her. She got on her backpack and left out her bedroom to catch a quick breakfast and catch the bus. Today felt very normal and nothing out of the ordinary today so far, she gave Sledgehammer his breakfast and got herself mini waffles, then walked out the door of her new home to make it to the bus. Cindy found Mike and her friends by the bus stop, so she decided to join them, since, of course, they are her friends too.

Dee Dee hugged the small girl. "Hey, Cindy."

"Hi, Dee Dee..." Cindy muffled from the hug.

"Uh, Deed?" June spoke up. "I think you're suffocating her."

"Oops." Dee Dee giggled and put the girl back down.

Suddenly there was a scream.

"What was that?" Brianna wondered.

It was our least favorite people, Sarah and Jimmy and they covered in paint.

"MIKE!" Sarah screeched. "LOOK WHAT YOUR DELINQUENT FRIENDS DID TO ME AND JIMMY!"

"Hey, I didn't tell them to..." Mike glared at Sarah, very annoyed with her. "You probably made them mad!"

"These stains will never come out, my mother will be most unhappy..." Jimmy put his hands to his eyes as he had paint all over his clothes, looking like his old fragile and delicate self.

Cindy looked to them as she saw they were coated in paint. "Green's not your color, Jimmy.... Neither is it yours, Sarah..."

"SHUT UP, GEEK!" Sarah and Jimmy scowled at her.

"Aw, go fall in a ditch..." Cindy retorted, shocking everyone that she said something rather nasty, she then looked into her backpack to get her water bottle out. "Uh-oh... I forgot my water..."

"Do you have time to go back and get it?" June asked.

"I should... I'll be right back, guys..." Cindy said, hurrying to rush back home, hopefully before the bus would leave without her.

Sarah grabbed Mike by her jacket. "Listen Mike, you'd better keep your friends on a leash and I mean all of them!"

"You need a leash, Sarah, you know what they do to dogs without owners." Mike smirked, making her friends laugh.

"SHUT UP!" Sarah hissed, then smirked. "At least I have parents, unlike some of you."

"Yeah, but if we do get parents, they'll pick us and your parents are stuck with you." June then added, making the friends laugh again.

Sarah and Jimmy then growled, the bus came by and it hit a puddle, which splashed muddy water all over the two bad kids.

"Where's Duncan and Abby?" Ashlyn wondered.

"We're over here." Duncan called.

They find the two delinquent siblings sitting on the bench.

"We decided we're skipping school for today." Abby laughed.

Sky and June grabbed Duncan and Abby by their ears. "No, you're not."

"Aww..." Duncan and Abby groaned as Sky and June forced them onto the bus.

Once they were all on, the bus doors closed and it left, no one seemed to remember Cindy was back home.

After that bus left, a different bus came to the same spot, just as a boy with a flock of red hair, freckles on his face, a mustard yellow short-sleeved shirt, green cargo shorts, white socks, and red and white sneakers was walking down the street to get onto this bus.

Cindy came with her water bottle, after the boy got onto the bus first, Cindy followed him and the doors shut, driving off. "Ugh.... I hope I do well on that science test before lunch..." she sighed to herself as she walked down the aisle and sat in a random seat, not noticing anything different or weird. "It's hard to concentrate on periodic elements when I know there's my favorite popcorn chicken for lunch."

An orange spider monkey wearing a red shirt and a green backwards hat looked at his best friend. "Hey Adam, who's that girl?" he asked, pointing to Cindy.

"I don't know, Jake," Adam was puzzled himself, then looked at Cindy. "Excuse me, little girl?"

"Huh?" the only human, the boy, named Adam, looked to Cindy. "That's weird... I didn't know there were more humans in our school..."

"She doesn't look as pink as ya though..." the spider monkey glanced at Cindy. "She kinda looks like your human friend, Kerry."

"Wait a minute, she's kinda familiar looking." Adam came closer to Cindy.

Cindy looked through her book, but lifted her head up as she saw the boy in the seat in front of her. "Adam Lyon, what are you doing here?" she asked him. "I thought you went to the all animal school."

"I do, why are you coming to my school?" Adam asked her.

"Wait... Where am I?" Cindy looked around and she noticed that every student on the bus was an animal. "Oh, man, I must be on the wrong bus!" she then screamed as she was on her way to the all animal school with no turning back.

Meanwhile with the other bus...

Mike shivered.

"Something the matter, Mike?" Eddy asked.

"I have a feeling that we forgot something." Mike replied.

"You didn't forget your lunch, did you?" Eddy asked.

"No, I got it right out the door from Jen..." Mike hummed as she went into deep thought.

"Forget your gym clothes?" June suggested.

"I'd never forget those..." Mike looked away.

"You forget your homework?" Dee Dee asked.

"No, I never forget that either." Mike shrugged.

"You forget to give Sarah and Jimmy them wedgies?" Duncan guessed.

"No Duncan, that's your and Abby's job." Mike reminded him.

"Well, if you don't remember, it probably wasn't that important anyway." Double D suggested.

"Yeah, maybe you're right..." Mike shrugged as they continued to ride to school.

"You know what, Mike, I have that sudden feeling too, but I don't what though and I also have a gut feeling something bad will happen." Justine spoke up.

"Don't worry, babe, I'm sure it's nothing." Jo soothed.
