(A/N hey... this is my first fic guys so id appreciate reviews... otherwise enjoy ^_^. Stratford-upon-Avon RePrAzEnT!!! lol)
Chapter I (1)
It was recess, and Richard III limped over to a wall and sadly leaned against that wall. As usual, nobody wanted to hang out with him. He had only been at highschool for two months, but he already hated it. All the popular kids teased him for being a deformed hunchback, and he didn't have a girlfriend. His teachers didn't like him, even though he worked hard and always got good grades. He had no friends, and his only friend was Caliban, but they weren't in any classes together. Even worse, his parents were dead.
Accross the hall, he saw Caliban leaving the Geography room.
"Hey Richard III" said Caliban.
"Hey Caliban"
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing, as usual" sighed Richard III.
"I'm going to get some lunch" said Caliban. "I'll meet you at our table".
Richard III limped over to the table, sat down, and pulled out one of those spaghetti things that has a plastic fork and started to eat it. He took out a small Pepsi and opened that as well. As he waited for Caliban to come back out, he looked across the cafeteria and saw Portia, the head cheerleader, hanging out with her boyfriend Macbeth, captain of the football team. Macbeth was always teasing Richard III, and even though Portia hated him doing it, she never said anything. She was too good for a bully like that, Richard III thought, but what could he do about it? Before he could get too unhappy, Caliban sat down. He had a plate of those instant nachos where the cheese sometimes explodes when you cook it. He also had some Pepsi.
"Caliban, what should you do if a girl is dating a guy that's not right for her?" asked Richard III.
"Tell her how you feel", said Caliban.
"I could never do that", sighed Richard III.
After they had finished their Pepsi, the bell rang and it was time for class. Caliban had Economics, and Richard III had... Oh no, Biology, the same class that Portia and Macbeth were in! And what was worse, the teacher, Mr Oberon, hated him (even though he got grood grades). This was already the worst day of his life.
"Class," said Mr Oberon, "today we will begin our first major assessment piece. You will work in pairs for this assignment..."
"Great", thought Richard III, "nobody will want to work with me. I'll probably end up partnered with a dunce like Puck".
"...and I will assign the partners! Banquo, your partner will be Mercutio. Benvolio, your partner will be Bassanio. Richard III, your partner will be... Portia"
The class gasped. Macbeth was fuming and Richard III was stunned.
