Idk how your schools work but its probably different how this school is gonna go. Soooooo umm, just roll with it I guess? 

XD 

---Ink's POV----

English class went horribly slowly. Everything the teacher said came out a incoherent nonsense to me.

I looked around at everyone else and they seemed to be going through the same thing as me. We've gotten so used to having no school over the summer holliday's and now being back at school has provided us with a shock to our system.

I gazed out of the window. The courtyard was empty. Only a few birds hopped around looking for breadcrumbs.

One little robbin hopped onto the windowsill, peering curiously at me through the glass.

I quickly picked up my pen and started sketching it at the bottom of my book.

I had nearly finished when the bird suddenly looked up and flew off.

I turned to see the teacher and the rest of the class all staring at me.

Shit.

"Ink." The teacher said coldly. "Could you please answer the question I just asked?"

I froze and glanced over at Dream, he looked like he was trying to hint an answer but I had no clue what he was doing, it looked like he was pretending to stab himself.

"Umm, c-could you repeat the question please sir?" I said quietly.

The teacher let out a dramatic sigh. "And that class. Is why you pay attention in class instead of doodling in your book. Anyway as I was saying, for this term of English we shall be studding Shakespeare's famous play Romeo and Juliet."

Loud groans erupted from everyone in the class and the teacher had to raise his voice to get all of us to stop.

"AS I WAS SAYING!" The teacher yelled, trying to get our attention.

We all fell silent, a few of us mumbling darkly under our breaths.

I was actually okay with this topic. I found all of Shakespeare's works really creative and fascinating. Although I do believe he should have at least tried to give a story a happy ending.

The teacher waited for complete silence before continuing.

"Now then we shall eventually be doing a project on this matter. These will affect your English sets and possibly your future grades so take this seriously."

We knew he was being serious and  few more groans could be hear from the back of the class.

The teacher picked up a large stack of textbooks that had been lying on his desk and proceeded to walk around the class, slamming textbooks down onto our desks.

Flinched as he dropped one on my desk but I quickly opened it and scanned the contents looking for the pages that had Romeo and Juliet.

There it is.

---Time Skip---------------------

The bell rang and I had wrote a page and a half of notes. Over double what most people had wrote.

I quickly shoved my book and stuff into my bag and slung it over my shoulder, weaving through the tables to get to Dream.

He laughed at me as we walked out. "How did you not get my Romeo and Juliet reference?"

I groaned rolling my eyes. "How was I supposed to guess from the action of you stabbing yourself?"

Dream giggled and looked down at his timetable. "I have science next."

I scrutinised my new timetable, searching for what I had next. "Hey, I've got science too. And we're in the same class."

Dream smiled and scanned the corridor before pulling me down in a direction.

"Science is this way. I remember now." He said.

I laughed and followed closely behind. "Its been so long since we were back in school that I've forgotten where everything is."

Dream laughed and we rounded the corner to the corridor that should lead to science only to be met with a wall of students all pushing past each other to get a look at something.

Chants of "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!" Started and Dream and I exchanged quick glances before trying to weasel our way to the front. Not just to watch the fight of course, but to see if we could help in any way.

Something like this is a situation when being small has an advantage. I slipped past people and pushed my way to the front.

I must say I wasn't entirely surprised when I saw what was happening.

It was the bully gang, they were stood smugly to the side as Nightmare had someone held in the air by one of his tentacles. I couldn't see who it was but I immediately felt sorry for them.

If you get in a fight with Nightmare you have a ninety nine percent chance of being absolutely destroyed.

He'd been expelled from seven different schools before he came to this one, Dream having to constantly move school with him as well even though he'd done nothing wrong.

I just hope Nightmare doesn't go to far. If he gets expelled from here then Dream will have to leave as well. They had both been here at Craitown High for nearly a year, and Dream says that's a  record for them.

I turned to see Dream slip to the front of the crowd to the left of me. He saw Nightmare and his gaze hardened, a small frown forming on his face.

We both met gazes and stared at each other, not really sure what to do.

Suddenly my attention was dragged back to Nightmare as he flung the person he had been previously been holding into a locker.

He laughed at their cry of pain as they hit the locker and crumpled.

The person cried out for help and I felt extremely uncomfortable, and I could see Dream was the same. I motioned at him and he nodded.

I turned around and scrambled out of the crowd, I burst free of the wall of people just as Dream did.

There were teachers making their way over now that they'd realised what was happening.

'Let's go." I muttered.

Dream nodded wordlessly and we walked away from the fight and down to science.

---Time Skip-------------------------------

Finally. Lunch. Probably the best thing about school in my opinion.

Dream and I often ate on the school field, we didn't like the crowded noisiness of the school cafeteria.

We always sat under the shade of a large oak tree. We had a great view of the field and generally got to casually watch what people were getting onto.

Blue was here too. This was always our meeting point for break and lunch and we would always eat together. Since Blue was in the year below us we could only really see each other at Break and Lunch time.

We had brought our own food with us from home so that we didn't have to go through the pain of queuing up with a bunch of hungry students all wanting to get food. 

Down at the other end of the field I saw Nightmare and his gang emerge. They looked round the field, as if they were searching for someone.

I went to nudge Dream but he was already fixated on the figure of his brother.

That's when Nightmare spotted us. He froze then seemed to motion something to his friends before starting to walk purposely towards us.

I tensed as they got closer. I studied each member as they walked. They all had the potential to be heartless bullies, and most of them were.

There's Fell. A big thug of a bully that enjoys pushing and tripping people over. He doesn't do much action. Mainly stays at the back of the group. He's always the one that's always yelling unwanted comments.

Then there's Horror. He's more physical, gets into fistfights a lot. He's been suspended several times but not expelled yet. He's one of the more common bullies.

Dust is relatively new. He likes to tease people, he'll make it out like he's about to kill you but will only walk away, laughing at you tremble in fear at his threat.

Reapers with them, but he doesn't do much, just hovers near the back of the gang, a sadistic grin on his face as the others hurt unsuspecting bully victims.

Killer. He's been known to get into a few fights but has only been suspended once. He's forever by Nightmare's side, rumor going round the school is that he fancies Nightmare but from what I've heard from Dream, Nightmare really couldn't care less.

And of course there's Nightmare. The main bully. Been expelled from seven different schools. A menacing looking boy, covered in a thick layer of unexplained slime and four tentacles sprouting from his back.

As if he wasn't intimidating enough already.

I could see the grins on their faces as they steadily drew closer.

Dream tensed next to me and I felt Blue do the same.

The guys seemed to notice this and laughed.

"What's the matter Dreamy?" Nightmare called. "Don't tell me your scared."

Dream shrank back as Nightmare reached us. We were still sitting down so I felt even smaller.

Nightmare let out a dangerous chuckle. "You all look so scared. Heh, cute."

One of his tentacles reached out and poked Dream on the 'cheek'.

I tensed, but he didn't do anything.

"We need to talk Dreamy."
