The Miracle Clinic

Chapter 39 - The East Side (6)

At Seastar High, a run-down school in the eastern district of Starlight City, most of the students go about their days like any other school would. They're just an average school that is pretty average all things considered. That is until someone from Starlight High, their rival school, steps foot onto their school grounds.

Unfortunately for The Miracle Clinic, they only get to learn this fact as the whole group gets out of Amnestor's car. As they do so, they notice a man with a mullet & bomber jacket making their way towards them.

"Well well well, if it ain't a bunch of Northerners up in our turf!"

Ronnie, Alex, Elizabeth, Marcus, & Amnestor all look confused as several other students follow closely behind the one with the mullet. All of the students seem agitated by the group's presence.

The man who's leading the group has a mullet with way too much hair gel and a bomber jacket that has a dragon on its back.

"You must've thought you'd be lucky, well you were wrong!" The man in the bomber jacket yells as he gets up in Ronnie's face, "Prepare to meet your maker since I, Draco Maleby, will strike you down!"

Ronnie can't help but laugh as he looks toward Alex, "Do all people here talk like that?"

Alex shrugs as the large group of Seastar High students all prepare to give them the 'Eastern Greeting'.

THE MIRACLE CLINIC

Marcus & Amnestor try to settle things down but they get interrupted by someone yelling "HEY!"

Everyone looks to see an upperclasswoman making their way to the group. She has white skin, brunette hair in a long braid, green eyes, and is wearing a beige-colored aviator jacket over a red turtleneck, blue jeans, a friendship bracelet, and black boots.

"I-IVORY?!" Draco yells surprised.

The upperclasswoman, Ivory Dutchingson, walks over and sighs, "What do you think you guys are doing?!"

"I-I was just trying to teach these Northerners a lesson," Draco sheepishly replies.

Ronnie, Alex, Marcus, & Elizabeth look confused at how Draco and all of the other kids are treating Ivory with so much respect, however, it begins to make more sense when Ivory walks over to chat with them.

"It's been a while Uncle," Ivory remarks, "How have you been?"

"I'm doing good Ivory," Amnestor remarks, "Is your father, Principal Ian Dutchingson, around right now?"

"Yeah, I told him you were looking for some files on a few students," Ivory remarks before looking over at the miracle clinic, "Are these your students?"

"Yeah, they wanted to do a school project with those students," Amnestor explains as the group all begin to make their way into Seastar High.

As they do so, Ronnie can't help but ask, "So Amnestor's your uncle?"

"Not biologically but close enough," Ivory explains, "Uncle Amnestor & my dad have been friends ever since they started working in education around the same time."

"I see," Ronnie remarks.

The group reaches the door to the principal's office, Amnestor & Ivory head inside while the rest stand out in the hallway. And as soon as the door closes, several seastar high students including Draco Maleby proceed to get up in the group's face.

"Not so tough without the Princess around, eh?" Draco teases, "I think it's about time we put you in your place!"

Draco places his arm on Ronnie's shoulder while two large students size up Alex & Elizabeth, all the while Marcus looks a bit confused at all the attention he seems to be getting.
