"Mox come on out the truck" Maria looked at her son on their side of the door.

Maria knows she is doing a big step like this putting Moxxie in school. But she wanted her kid to have some kind of normalcy and try to make friends. Be social. Well as much normalcy one can do in the Wrath school. It was a big step and with Moxxie own issues. Going out his personal bubble. Now it has gotten better to a certain degree.

Alright she'll admit that Wrath doesn't have the best school system. But the others in the Wrath ring no better and far away. Then there are the high schools. Didn't even want to think about that yet. Unless you go to college. The Wrath ring school system is mostly focused on violence, bloodshed, history of fighting, farming or taking care of creatures to certain degrees.

That is if you even want to go to high school and finish. Or don't get kill. A lot of rival high schools in Wrath want to beat up the other in sports. Probably one of the reasons at least some go to high school to watch.

Now there are subjects to learn. It is just if the students want to learn or the teacher is willing to teach.

But that's the same case with every education system in any of the rings. Imps don't get the best kind unless you're very lucky. It was a bit worse for Hellhounds too. Even before schools were made many didn't think Imps should learn till it began to change. Especially if your ring the one who controls most of Hell food supply so you might want some kind of 'teaching' experience. Even so if you somehow get to a decent school with other hell borns it'll be tough. Even when you reach high school grade the deaths really begin to start which is normal.

Maria knows Moxxie is smart.

She did think about doing that test that Doc Medea mentioned. She is going to wait till six or seven to do it. For now, I want them to have some social interactions with the children their age.

But it doesn't mean they worry. Like the touching for one. Communication is slightly better or just doesn't want. If the covering comes off their cheeks. Lose their glasses.

Great she panicked again.

Plus, if this doesn't work during the school years. There is homeschool as a last option.

Moxxie stared at the school that really wasn't all that big. But at the same time was. This place is for pre-K all the way to eighth grades. Look to see kids their ages up to maybe those in teens.

The kids being dropped off, kids pushing the other, sees someone steal a backpack, and look like he already seeing a fight. Now was it parents or the students he doesn't know.

This was going to be terrible.

Moxxie didn't want to do this. Why now did he have to be of age to go to school? Why can't he just be homeschooled? Should he just start trouble already just to get out? Will he even learn anything? Error themselves had to teach can't even remember how they were taught since those memories stayed. Should have done a dang CHECK on schools. Even in hell standard. This is going to be horrible! How does he act like a kid around others! Rattles was one thing but this is different.

He clutched his scarf and looked at Maria behind the glass. The closest thing to a pleading look to not let them go in there.

Maria almost, almost, gave in and drove off. She opens the door. Her tail wrapped around them. "Give it a shot Mox. You might actually like it."

Dangit! Maybe that weird puppy dog look might work?

Too late as Maria was out the door and helped him out the truck. Along with his backpack. He still wore his scarf to cover his mouth and face. But the eyes had a betrayal and angry look. She pets his horns and placed him down as she took his hand.

They walk inside the school.

Pre-K time.

Moxxie hate it!

Moxxie twitch as listen and watches the kids run around, destroy things here and there, and few look ready to throw a chair out the window. Sees the teacher rushing around.

It's like seeing Nightmare group high on sugar. Or when the Charas decided to act like babies on purpose. Even Ink group done stupid junk like this without anyone noticing.

Maria debating to see about skipping him to first grade. Not like it any better. Glance and see Moxxie give her a look. A slight plead to not leave him here!

"I'll be here to pick you up. I told them to call me if something happens." If they actually listen and take her warning about his contact issue, eating habits, and will bite. Well going to learn firsthand.

Moxxie hisses and whines softly. He rather deals with the annoying rats! Why can't he just stay back in the garden to help? He won't get in the way of them working on the whiskey.

Maria hugged Moxxie. Feel them clinging to her as he still whines trying to hold on. Don't give in. You can do this. Soon let go as she had to force herself out the door. Took a few deep breaths. Come on Maria it just for a few hours. Even if she wants to run back to take them out.

It's a parent feeling. Remember that. You're just a worried Madre. That's it. If something happens to their fuzzy little head. Then going to be a 'lovely' talk with the so-called school board.

Moxxie look at the closed door. A hint of betrayal. Okay, just don't think like that. You're just around kids. Remember kids your age. Turn around to look at the small classroom.

Gosh he is not going to survive this!

Four hours later.

How the heck has he survived this so far?

Moxxie stared wide eye at the ceiling as it was nap time. Everyone was asleep, even the teacher who had it rough to today. Mind going through what just happens when class starts.

The first thing everyone did was introduce themselves and say something they liked. Let's just say he heard a lot of fighting or certain favorite animals. When it was his turn.

"Moxxie. I like my Madre, certain imps and chocolate."

"Care to tell who they- "No." Not going to say anything else and what else he likes.

"Why you wear a scarf it's no snowing or cold weirdo." One of the kids asked and many snickered.

"I like it. "He swears if many try to steal it. He is going to bite some fingers off! Or at least push them away.

Oh, and many did try. It was just a threat he didn't want to really take someone's finger off. He gets it they are being kids. But you trying to be adult in a kid's body can be infuriating. He just wants to be alone and wants this day to go by fast. But nope it was like a damn game to try and get the scarf or his glasses.

Then his scarf was lowered down when he was messing with it. But everyone was now able to see his mixed eyes match as their head usually down.

"Extra weirdo."

"Can you even, see?"

"Why eyes not like us?"

Now Moxxie didn't take the rudeness to heart since they are kids. Kids are brutally honest. Try not to smack anyone with his tail, pull his scarf away anyone try to take it. Now the touching was a different matter. He hasn't screech but their body twitches a lot, would move away or get looks when they wouldn't join in the play fighting. Well, play fighting not risky it if they hurt someone.

We had few of the lessons they were going to be taught. Then there were the class games. Got some looks or scooch away from him at the table. He just sings and colors a bit to occupy his mind. He did better when he was with Striker.

Till one imp seemed to ask him if he could touch his scarf. The one who called him a weirdo.

"Fine." Only because he asked and let him touch the end of it.

The reaction on their faces was awed like they never felt such a thing. He guesses he can understand that since the scarf is still made with his strings before Maria cleans it up. Then the others were curious again and wanted to touch them.

Moxxie reluctantly did and watched them all just get giddy touching the scarf. He tried not to smile a bit when they began to purr like baby animals. Then somehow was back with them all on the ground playing duck, duck, and vulture.

It was one going to be one their better memories of their time in school.

Then it was lunch time. He just let them all have it when the teacher wasn't looking. Besides the cookie.

Now here he was at nap time.

He was bored now and was in the middle of everyone on the floor. Want to be close to his scarf. He sighs and tugs his scarf out another child's hand. Lift himself up and look around till he sees the door.

You know what let's explore the school for future ways to get out. Or a broom closet to open a portal to check on his Madre. Small enough to fit in a vent. No, this isn't ditching school. Doesn't even think it counts for the grade he is in.

10 minutes later.

"MOXXIE WHERE ARE YOU?!" The teacher screamed and panicked, looking around the room for her smallest, yet vicious, student. They don't want to get fired, or killed, on the first day back from school.

The students just watching and snickering seeing the teacher panic.

Moxxie escaped Pre-K first. Kind of a bummer because they all were planning that. When they were here for a few extra days. Plus, the littlest did it first too! Moxxie was inside the vents when all this happened. He was having a stare off with a rat inside the vent.

"Stalker."

The rat hiss and screeches at them. Try to swipe them.

Moxxie eyes glowed.

Well, Moxxie finally made it back to his classroom and the teacher will live.

"Moxxie where did you go?" The teacher demanded.

"Restroom?"

"You supposed to as-No, I'll let it slide this one day. Got back to your seat."

Moxxie shrugged as they did. The day went by fast after that. Some small lessons, kids biting and just ready to go. The vents now smell horrible like a dead carcass.

"How was school Moxxie?" Maria came into the classroom to pick up her son.

"I still want to be homeschooled...In first grade." Moxxie lean against her shoulder. He guesses it'll be alright. It was kind of fun being able to play games. Some felt stupid but still do it. It is when he reaches the bigger grade that he is concerned about.

Really didn't want to hurt anyone if they had to.

Done!

Some changes here and there from this chapter.

Now Error/Moxxie tries to be nice to kids. At least to not screech when they want to be grabby. Just mentally telling themselves their youth. Even when warning them. But got to remember they are technically in the body of a kid with their mind a mix of an adult and child. So, it's very tough and going to be complicated sometimes.

Plus, this is Wrath school where your pride basically muscles. So, yeah will be dealing with big headed jerks, in any ring, no matter what in the future. And it doesn't make it better for them since they are considered so 'small, weak and nerdy' looking. So, yeah will be targeted when they start to get older.

Maria is doing what she thinks is best. She still has a mindset like many who live in Wrath. But overtime I learn as well. She is protective but doesn't want to be too protective. Want Moxxie to have social interaction. Make friends. Striker was one thing but the boy was a bit older. Yet, I was still learning.

Any questions?

Until next time.

Bye, bye
