"School" [2015] [P/UP]

○1- Enies Lobby University○

"I am death..." I groaned, dragging my feet as I shlepped my way to the kitchen.

My dad let out a sigh and rolled his eyes. "It's 6:30, you are not death. Now eat your waffles before they get cold. We have a big day in front of us!"

I groaned again and pulled myself up to the kitchen bar, my face smushed against the counter top.

"I AM DEATH." I groaned louder this time as dad set down a plate of syrup smothered breakfast goodness beside my head.

He ruffled his dark blue hair and mumbled something about 'moody teenage girls' before leaving the kitchen.

Blindly reaching for my fork, I grabbed something soft and squishy and sighed.

"DAAAD! TYRANNOSAURUS IS ON THE TABLE AGAIN!"

I pouted as my dad ran into the room, his tie hanging askew around his neck and his toothbrush in his mouth, and held out the tiny white mouse to him.

Yes, my dad had a pet mouse named Tyrannosaurus that he kept in his shirt pocket at all times. Weird, right?

Yeah, we're a pretty weird family.

For starters my dad's name is Galley-La Iceburg. Me, I'm a little more normal. My name is Galley-La Tina, but everyone in my family calls me by my middle name; Snowcone. Seriously, who names their kid Snowcone? I inherited my dad's dark blue hair and naturally dark blue lips, but that was about all.

Dad stuck Tyrannosaurus in his left breast pocket as I stuffed my face with waffles.

"Big day, Snowcone." He grinned with dark blue lips. "New school for both of us. Hurry up and get ready."

I groaned yet again, but rushed to shower anyway.

I was actually sort of excited. Dad was promoted from his last job as principal of Water 7 Highschool to President of Enies Lobby University.

Since we had to move, I transferred into Enies Lobby early. I wasn't even finished with my senior year of high school, so the thought of already being in university excited me.

And today was day one for both of us.

I washed my short navy hair as fast as I could, then got dressed and put in my contacts and makeup.

When I finally felt ready, I was shocked to see that it was already 7:15.

With a gasp, I grabbed my backpack and sprinted out of my room and down the hall of our apartment.

"BYEDADBYETYRANNOSAURUSHAVEAGOODDAY!" I shouted as I sprinted out the front door and down the hall to the elevator.

Oh yeah, here's another fun fact.

Since my dad is the President of the university, we get to live in the suite above the rest of the dorms. It was pretty nice.

When the elevator doors finally opened at the bottom floor of the door building, I grinned at the familiar emotionless face that greeted me.

"Kalifa!" I exclaimed, wrapping the woman in a giant bear hug.

"Miss Galley-La, this is sexual harassment." She stated firmly.

I pouted and broke the hug so I could poke her cheeks up into a smile. "Aw, come on Kali! You've known me since before I was born, so say my name. Tina. Say it with me. Ti-na."

The glasses wearing woman scowled and slapped my hands away from her face. "Fine. This is sexual harassment, Tina."

I gave her a goofy grin. "That's better!"

Kalifa was my dad's secretary and a close family friend for as long as I could remember. She was there to help pick us up after mom left, and even decided to follow dad after his transfer. Sure she was still a bit of a bitch face, but she was our bitch face.

"This is your schedule and map." Kali said, handing me a couple of papers as she pushed up her glasses. "I will see you later."

I grinned and gave her one last hug before sprinting off to my first class.

I smiled as I ran. Today would be a good day, I could tell.

Finding the class was easy enough.

I looked down at my schedule, then at the sign on the door to make sure I had the right room.

Once I had eased my jittery nerves, I took a deep breath an opened the door.

"WATCH OUT!" I heard a voice call, making me duck immediately.

Something whizzed over my head, just barely missing my hair and thunked against the door as it closed behind me.

Nearly the entire class was looking at me with bored eyes, and one guy with a white speckled fuzzy hat was twirling around what looked like a scalpel in his tattooed fingers.

"You made me miss." He growled, glaring at me. Beside him a girl with pink hair was stuffing her face with pizza and beside her a boy with extraordinarily long shaggy blonde hair that covered his face was playing with a butterfly knife.

"Move it, you're in the way." He snarled.

I was trembling as I turned to look at the door.

Embedded in the wood was a plethora of sharp objects, at least thirty in all, all aimed at a poster that had been taped to the door.

I blanched and started feeling nauseous as I realized it was a poster of me. The words 'FRESH MEAT' were nearly illedgible with all the holes torn through the poster.

Another interesting fact about me; I don't handle shock or stress very well. So I don't feel like I should have been criticized for what happened next.

My head swam, my body swayed, my eyes rolled back in my head.

"Hey, I think she's gonna-"

I don't hear the rest of what the pink haired girl was saying as my consiousness faded and I toppled to the ground.

I freaking fainted. Great.
