The Ups and Downs of Being Undead in High School

Before we get this started, I should remind you that I'm fifteen, but I look like I'm eight.  That said, most people think I'm either extremely crazy or extremely stupid to still be in the public school system.  In fact, almost everyone I know has told me that.  Granted, I am a little crazy, but I am in no way stupid.  I have stayed in the public schools purely because I'm just too stubborn to quit.
  Don't get me wrong, I had plenty of good reasons.  In case you didn't notice, your average high school is full of teenagers all ready to hate a guy who's voice hasn't changed, is short, and has blue skin.  There are plenty of girls who squeal in my presence and think I'm cute for all the wrong reasons.  I'm rarely ever taken seriously, and if I am it's because they think I'll eat them if they don't.  It doesn't help that I'm a year ahead in school, meaning I'm a Junior, not a Sophomore.  No one would have stopped me from dropping out in fourth grade, not to mention ninth.
  In case you haven't already guessed, school started yesterday.
  It would have been the normal routine, you know, get my schedule, go to class, scare the freshmen into submission, deal with the haters and the necrophiles, hang out with the few people who actually treat me as an equal.  But, the universe decided to throw us for a loop.  Jace decided to come back with me.  Now, I'm pretty dangerous, but Jace is a fresh zombie, and that's way worse on the danger scale.  We ALL tried to talk him out of it.  He just sorta looked at us and said, "I'm gonna be a senior this year, and if you think I'm going to miss my last year of high school just because my sister bit me, you're all completely nuts."  Thus, he's back in school too, and I have to keep an eye on him.  Go figure.
  In other news, I got a reply about the camping picture that wasn't Lea's comment (Go Lea, by the way).  As it turns out, that's a girl scout wash station.  That campsite belonged to those girl scouts we scared off.  Oops.  Um...we're all really sorry for scaring them and stealing their camp (especially Dragon, who did most of the actual scaring).
