Chapter 8: First Day at School

Andrea's POV:
"Heeheehee..." I woke up from the sound of giggling, I slowly opened my eyes to see the three ghosts from last night hovering me and Grim, who's still sleeping, "Don't you two have to be up clean the school?" The skinny ghost asked, I stared at the ghost trio with sleepy eyes before pulling the blanket over my head and close my eyes. I hate waking up early in the morning, I'm not a morning person; I'm a night owl. Grim shuffled in his place on pillow behind my head, mumbling, "Unnnn... munyaaa... Five more minutes..." "Laze about too long and you'll never wake up again." I heard the small ghost said, "Just like us! Eee heehee!" The fat ghost laughed.

I can hear Grim shot up from his sleep, "Ffgya?! It's those ghosts again! Hey Andie, wake up!" I feel Grim shaking my shoulder with his paws. Ugghh, I don't wanna get up, but... I slowly sat up and yawned as I stretched. "It's too early for this..." I said goggly, "Are you two gonna be living here? You're gonna get pranked. Kekeke!" I felt something poking my cheek and I lazily waved one of the ghosts away. I can't even talk without being all sleepy. "Shoot. We'll get rid of you eventually!" Grim shouts at the ghosts. We soon hear footsteps as the three ghosts vanished, Crowley entered the room with a smile. "Good morning, you two. Did you sleep well?" "I was all sprawled out, then I fell out the bottom! Just how ramshackle did you let this place get? Then the ghosts woke me up, this is the worst!" Grim complained, "I honestly slept like a log." I spoke.

"Even though you just got tossed over from another world, you can still be cheeky, wonderful!" Crowley said, I don't know if I should feel offended or not. "I came to speak to you about your work for today. Before that, go freshen up. The water still works here, surprisingly." Without waiting for me to say anything, he turned to the exit as he said, "I'll be waiting in the lounge!" After he disappeared down the stairs, I fell back on the bed with a small groan and my eyes closed.

The ghosts reappeared around us, and I opened my eyes again before rubbing them. "Make yourself at home. Let's be good friends, shall we?" One of them laughed, "Yeah, yeah, whatever. What are your names anyway?" I asked them. The three of them looked at each other confused why I asked them that question. "Well, we abandoned them way back when." The small ghost admitted, "Really? Then it's alright if I give you guys one?" I point at the tall skinny ghost, the fat ghost and the small stubby ghost respectively. "Victor, Hugo, and Laverne. No complaining, alright? Now where's the bathroom?"

I got out of bed and make my way out of the room to bathroom after I got my clothes. After I did my business, took a quick shower, brush my teeth, changed into my clothes I picked from my gym bag that I keep hidden from the right side of the bed, so Crowley doesn't see it, and quickly put on my makeup.

I put on my necklace as Grim and I walked to the lounge room where Crowley is gazing out the window patiently for us, he turned when he saw us and got straight to the subject. "Today, you are to clean the campus... But the campus is quite large. Cleaning it all without magic would be impossible. So I'd like you to clean Main Street from the main gate to the library. Understood?" "Crystal." "Please watch Grim closely, so he doesn't cause a scene like yesterday." "Don't worry, I'll make sure he doesn't cause any more trouble." I said as I turned to Grim with a dark serious look, causing him to flinch.

"Jeez, for a human with no magic, you're scary!" He yelled, "I wouldn't be if you continue to cause any more trouble, you stupid raccoon cat." I said, "For the last time, I am not a raccoon or a cat!" He yells as he glares at me, "If you're not a raccoon or a cat, what are you then?" I asked, knowing I won the argument because Grim was quiet with his eyes widened, before he blinks and said with his paws on his hips, "S-Shut up!" Crowley chuckled before turning to me. "I'm counting on you. You have permission to have lunch in the school cafeteria. Take care of your work enthusiastically." He said before he walked out of the dorm. "Tsk... No way I'm doing any cleaning. I want to go to class and, bang! Boom boom boom! Use a bunch of awesome spells~" Grim complains, I rolled my eyes at him and ignored what he said as I grab his collar. "Come on. Let's go to the campus and get to work." Grim muttered under his breath as I dragged him out of the dorm and start our day as handymen.

(A/N: Just in case you guys don't know who Victor, Hugo and Laverne are, Andie named the three ghosts after the three gargoyle statues from The Hunchback of Notre Dame.)
