Chapter Text
“High School is just so scary to think about!!” Pest said with his head lowered, he was nervously fidgeting with hands. Poob was laughing and rubbing his back.
”Don’t worry, we’re gonna be fine!” Poob reassured him, he pushed Pest past the gate and watched as he struggled to not fall down from the sudden push.
”Hey!! Don’t just suddenly push me!” Pest protested, he pouted and made a little hmf sound. Poob couldn’t help but laugh a little harder at his stupid friend.
”If I didn’t push you, you would’ve stood there until the entrance ceremony was over. Speaking of which… we better hurry and get going!” Poob told him, the grabbed Pest’s arm and dragged him towards the gym for the entrance ceremony.
”Here, an available seat for the both of us!” Poob said, he smiled at Pest, causing him to blush a little.
“Yeah yeah… thanks.” Pest muttered, he sat in his seat and Poob followed. Then, right next to Pest’s ear, a loud squeal came from the person sitting next to him.
”Scag!!” They said, they rapidly stomped their feet on the ground.
”The one and only!” The other person said, they seemed to be on a cart, as they had no legs.
That’s two weird people already… I’ll stay away for now. Pest thought to himself, he rolled his eyes and tried to relax.
But more noise came from everywhere.
”Meow meow! (Hey sugar! How have you been?)” Someone spoke from behind Pest and Poob, they were wearing a pure white lab coat over their school uniform instead of the cardigan that was provided to all students.
“I’ve been good! More people have been attending my tea parties!” The person next to them said, tea parties sounded very… VERY familiar to Pest. But he couldn’t put his finger on it.
”Mrreow meow meoww! (Well, I’ll be sure to attend soon!)” said the girl in the labcoat. She had a big smile on her face, then she turned to Pest after noticing him looking at the two. Pest quickly turned his head away.
Something about that cat is familiar, eugh, what an embarrassing feeling. Pest thought to himself yet again, he looked at Poob and sighed.
”What’s up?” Poob said, still smiling from earlier.
”You keep smiling and you’ll get lock jaw.” Pest mumbled loud enough for Poob to hear. Poob rubbed his cheeks and laughed.
”Just excited…” Poob mumbled back.
”Hi everyoneee!! Welcome back to a new year at Regretevator High School!” A voice from behind the curtains called out, the crowd cheered, except for Pest and Poob.
”The hell, it’s starting already?” Pest asked.
”Apparently… just a minute early.” Poob chuckled, he sat up straight and listened.
“If you’re new, welcome to Regretevator High! My name is Gregoriah, and I’ll be your principal!” The person said, they waved and winked to the crowd now that the curtain was raised. “If you first years are nervous, just know the teachers here are quite nice, so there’s nothing to worry about!”
”Only thing I’m worried about is having to deal with them now.” Pest scoffed, he crossed his arms and looked at Poob.
”They seem like fun! What if they love to party like me?” Poob said joyfully, “Can principals and students even party together..?”
”Let’s hope so, for you.” Pest muttered to himself.
Pest shut his eyes and thought about something different to pass the time, he basically knew everything about the school since he read about it.
But of course he was interrupted.
”You can zone out after we do the anthem, okay?” Poob told Pest, Pest rolled his eyes and nodded.
”Sure, whatever…” Pest said
”I miss your attitude when you were nervous..” Poob muttered, Pest blushed again, but didn’t reply.
”Okay! Stand for our anthem , please!!” Gregoriah shouted into the microphone, everyone stood up quickly.
”Mrrp meeow! (Oh, I just love the anthem!)” The girl in the labcoat whispered to her friend.
”It’s very catchy, and quite easy to remember!” The other girl said, “I’m sure the 1st years will love it!”
Pest tried to block out the sound of everyones unsynchronized singing, and thought about other things.
But then, the anthem was done, and some really creepy girl was up on the stage.
”N-now! A speech from our honor student!” Gregoriah said weakly, even he seemed frightened by her presence.
“I’m Folly, the Honor student.” She said, she sighed and got closer to the microphone.
”I wonder what her speech is!” Poob said excitedly.
”Can’t be good.” Pest sighed, he rolled his eyes and decided to listen.
”I don’t actually have a speech for you guys. I genuinely could care less for any of you guys.” Folly said, her voice raised higher than earlier.
”Mrreow..? (Huh..?)” The girl in the labcoat said.
”How rude! I’m definitely not inviting her for a tea party!” The girl next to her angrily mumbled.
“That seems to be all from her… and the entrance ceremony… please have fun meeting your teachers, everyone!” Gregoriah called out, he ran back stage, nearly tripping on nothing.
”Okaay!” The person next to Pest yelled back. “Let’s go to class together, Scag!”
”We totally should, Prototype!” Scag replied, then, Prototype got out of his seat and began pushing Scag to their first class.
“We should just be able to go home…” Pest scowled and crossed him arms.
”But we should meet our teachers!” Poob told him, he smiled at him nervously.
”Fine, whatever.” Pest sighed.
They both stood up, and began walking to their homeroom classes.
