The Sadness After ( The Underland Chronicals )

Chapter 2

Gregor enters the school with his new 'friends' and is in a cestpool of highschoolers that are hard to get through, you have to move through like a  snake through the grass.

Gregor made it to his locker and his 'Friends' leave for their lockers. He puts in the pin and opens it, he sets down his heavy bag and unloads it into the locker, binder, folder and stuff like that. He reaches into his pocket and places the picture of him and Luxa standing up in his locker. He looks at it for a second and then closes the locker and goes to his class.

He never liked IRLA, never clicked for him, he just can't pay attention. Even on the first day he zones out, and there only introducing themselves. "Greg-or," calls the women up front "can you tell us something about your self?" She asks.

Gregor's mind races as he tries to find something to say not related to the Underland, "Uhh, my family owns a farm..." he blurts out.

"Well," says the teacher, "that's interesting." She obviously was expecting something else from the new kid but who cares, "Next, Jackson."

Gregor turns to see the kid from the bus sitting behind him "Ugh" he thinks " this year is gonna be fun".

"I like football and driving." Jackson says. Well that explains the jacket. The rest of the period is just non sense,other people talking and the teacher,who's name Gregor learned was Mrs. Maddox, the rest of the class was going through what we were doing that year.

He walks out of the class to see Ryan waiting there, "Hey Gregor, what class you got next?" He asks.

"Uhh I think I got gym," Gregor says, "yeah gym"

"Ah cool man, I got that to," Ryan says, "I'll lead you there. We can stop at your locker quick."

The thing that surprised Gregor was that Ryan was actually excited to have a class with him. They walk through the crowded halls and get to Gregor's locker, where he puts down his stuff and heads off with Ryan. Gregor breaths a mental sigh of relief, thankful Ryan didn't see the picture.

They get to the class and go to the locker room, for Gregor, he's lucky it's the first day so no one needs to change. But the scars are going to be a problem. Ryan goes around to his locker and unpacks while Gregor stands around looking at people. He gets some glances for wearing  sweatpants and a sweatshirt in the middle of August but no one said anything.

They went out and sat on bleachers that were pulled out for the day. He sits down next to Ryan on the end of the bleachers. Everyone was talking for about 5 minutes untill the teacher came out and introduced himself, "I am your gym teacher, Mr. Walters."

Mr.Walters looks like your average Football coach, which he most likely did. The thing about gym that Gregor likes is it is the only thing he's good at in school, his ADHD and wandering mind. In gym he can workout and be active, which is the only thing that takes his mind and keeps it in the real world. So at least gym will be fun.

The rest of the period is non sense and explaining. Gregor wandered but stayed more focused than in IRLA. They got out a little early so Ryan and Gregor went to meet Brandon at math. Brandon walks out and Ryan asks how was it.

"The teacher is horrible, she's a bitchy person and she just rambles on and she a strict old lady. She demands perfection." He blurts out.

"Yeesh that doesn't sound good" Ryan says, seeming scared of what the teacher will do to him.

Gregor worried because he thinks she won't understand his problems with attention and staying on task, but it isn't his biggest worry in his life right now.

He heads off to his next class where, again nothing happens. He leaves and Heads to his 4th class of the day which is Social Studies, which Gregor enjoyed until they came to the subjects of war. His mother kept it short when she home schooled him for 3 years. But the teacher seemed really nice. He was a tall, muscular man with brown surfer type hair. His name was Mr. Damien, he seemed like a more chill and laid back teacher which Gregor liked.

He talked for a while and introduced himself and the units, Gregor couldn't remember that though. The bell rang and he headed out of class and met up with his 'friends'. Gregor is actually starting to like these guys, he thinks he might have some friends by the end of the year, but they haven't really seen him so he still isn't sure. He goes to his locker and gets his lunch.

He follows Brandon and Ryan to a table in the cafeteria, they go up to buy their lunches and leave Gregor to examine the school.

At the 2 tables in the back were loud and he could make out Jackson's face and about 20 more people, half girls, half boys. The boys all had the same jacket as Jackson with the large J on it. Almost all the other tables looked like Gregor's, a few people sitting and talking to the people. There's one other table that is different from the rest, everyone there was a girl in a cheer ladder shirt and he felt akward after he made eye contact with a brunnete there. It was wierd because she looked back at him with interest.

Gregor looks away and waits for his friends. When they come back they talk and Gregor eats his lunch, just an average sandwich and an apple. There was also a pill which he hid and swallowed it without then noticing. Lunch was uneventful except for the constant noice from the kids in the back.

"What do you call those guys?" Gregor asks as he points at the 2 tables in the back.

"Oh, most people call then the Frats." replies Brandon "They are the popular kids here."

"Oh, thanks Brandon." Gregor says and then leaves when the bell rings and heads to math with Ryan.

"Guess Brandon was right" Gregor whispered to Ryan who was sitting next to him, "She is horrible."

The teacher, Mrs. Smith, was and old looking woman with stained teeth and a Shakey walk. She was the strictest teacher he's seen yet, You have to sit up straight, You must not speak when she's speaking, You cannot use the bathroom during her period, you can't even chat when doing class work and many more, breaking them will result in immediate detention and a call home. She gave out an ridiculas amount of homework and expected only perfection.

"This is gonna be a fun class," says Ryan back to Gregor. They weren't caught for the day so they leave and part until they get on the bus later. He has one more class with Brandon but otherwise the day is over.

The last class was his language, Spanish. He could speak it decently but couldn't pay attention. The period flashed by and then it was the end of the day. The bell rang and Gregor headed down to his locker and retreaved the photo of him and Luxa and put it in the pocket with the bat toy.

He hurries to the bus to see Brandon and Ryan saving a seat for him near the back. He sits down and the bus starts moving. Even on the first day he gets home work from the Math teacher. But what can he do. Gregor's the first stop and Brandon gets off with him. Gregor and Brandon walk to Gregor a house and Brandon goes off to his house.

He enters his house and feels like he's entered a new world.
