Thirteen (Mono×OC)

I HATE THIS CITY, DAMN IT!

It's not that I'm a poor learner, or that I'm dumb, I just can't sit still long. I'm a hands-on learner. Anyway, we got into the courtyard and Six kicked a ball into a goal, and Mono put a ripped ball on his head like a hat. We climbed up a sheet rope into a window and into the school. The corridors where quiet, but when Mono turned off the lights, peephole shone through a painting. We went down a hallway and saw beds stacked on beds. Mono and I picked up blocks after Six did, and all three of us chucked them, knocking the painting down.

We scurried through, landing in a detention room, I think. There was a creaky floorboard and Six and I started jumping on it. "Now's not the time to play, girls. We need a way ou-" The floorboards gave out underneath us, revealing a tunnel. "You where saying, Bagboy?" I said, and he sighed before climbing in after us.

We crawled through the tunnel and down platforms to a vents. We pried it open and crept through the vent. We landed in  hallway with lockers knocked over, and I heard a bone-chilling creak. There was a shadow on the wall,  figure with a grotesquely long neck. The door slammed and and footsteps left. There was a bucket of toys hanging from the ceiling, and through a door was a protruding board with a ball in front of it. I crawled on all fours and hesitantly pressed the board down.

A bucket swung down and almost beaned Mono. We kept going through the halls and something scurried from one room to another. Mono tripped another trap and a light almost hit me in the face. These squirrelly little Pinocchio knock-offs where bugging me. Mono turned left and went towards  toy. Before he got to it, I heard a creak, and pulled my companions out of the way before a locker fell from the DAMNED SKY!

We climbed onto the locker and into a passage. It was damned dark, but I hunted in the all the time. We walked towards a wooden duck, Six hanging back because she's smart but Mono and Itripped the trap. A whole light fixture swung towards us before getting caught on a locker. We climbed onto the light and over a table. There was a hammer lit by a spotlight, but I could hear something behind a locker. Mono went over to the hammer, and I realized what was happening.

"Mono, no, it's a-!" I was cut off by a lockers falling. One was about to hit me so I stepped closer to Mono, and an open locker fell on us. I heard grunts and yelling. "Six! SIX!" Mono and I yelled, hitting the locker. Enough of this! I thought. I focused on the metal around me, and the locker lifted. I clicked my hand to the side and the container launched into a wall. Six, and the students, where gone. Mono grabbed the hammer and cracked the Bullies head with the hammer. We walked to an open door and a bully dissecting a frog. Mono set the hammer down and we triggered the trap. A bucket whooshed past and brained the bully. We abandoned the hammer and climbed over a chair.

We got to a classroom of bullies, and a teacher writing on a chalkboard. We crept behind the students and froze whenever the teacher turned back. Hi, Naggie Maggie. I thought. We got into a storageclosetand saw a key on a shelf. I climbed the shelf but it fell over. Mono and I hid in a box as the teacher came in, her neck stretching to search. The door slammed, but a vent opened.

Mono put the key on his coat and the vent opened to a cabinet. The Teacher was walking through the desks, smacking a ruler the size of a floorboard on the desks. We somehow got out of that hellhole and unlocked an elevator it ascended to a hall, big surprise, where a dunce capped bully was scribbling on the ground.

I called to the Bully to distract it, seeing a rope on his neck. I motioned for Mono to sneak around the side to a pipe. He snuck up behind the Bully and cracked them like an egg, before going to a door and busting it down. We climbed up a dresser into a vent and heard something getting hit. Mono fell down and bottles clattered to the ground. Mono hid in a box and I crawled into the shadows of the vent as that damned giraffe stretched up and looked down. I hopped down quietly and peered over the edge. The Teacher was spanking a Bully.

We climbed over thin boards and I picked up a jar that was in the way before we climbed up another rope. We pushed a plank down and hid in a box as the teacher showed her ugly mug. "I hate this place." I whispered to Mono. "I know, I know, we just have to get Six and leave." He reassured me.

Back to the vents. I think I'm claustrophobic. We got into a library and again, NAGGIE MAGGIE BEING A BITCH! We got to the floor and Mono moved the ladder we climbed up and on another shelf Mono got a tin hat. A book thuded and that creepy, ugly head shot through the books, trying to bite Mono and I. We ran on the top of the shelves and clung to a stack of books. We jumped to another and books fell. We climbed around the stack to avoid getting seen and the teacher tottered past.

~Teacher p.o.v.~

Was that Thirteen? What's she doing here? And who was that bag kid? One of my students? My students... Ugh, where did my students run off to? What was I just saying? Oh, yes, Thirteen. A bright child, but not suited for the academic life.
