You've led a boring, mundane life. Throughout your fourteen years, you've done absolutely nothing. The peak of your day was sitting your ass in front of the TV after a trivial day of school. But tomorrow is your first day of high school. This is a big step in your life. For a moment, you actually get excited. Maybe things can change? Maybe, just maybe, you can make life more interesting for yourself. Whatever you may like to do, maybe now's the chance to go out and do them. From now on, maybe life won't be the same dull blur, the same song and dance. Or perhaps you won't be able to take advantage of the new opportunities, being so accustomed to doing nothing.
Whatever happens, one things is for sure. Tomorrow, you begin your life as a high school student at Ferris Urkel High.
First things first: Are you a boy...

Uh, no. Sorry. Unfortunately I'm not a skilled enough drawer for that. Anyway, we'll go with boy.
Your name is Guy Mann. You went to sleep, awaiting the excitement of tomorrow. Your alarm goes off the next day at 6:30 AM. It beeps, and won't stop unless you do something about it.

Turn it off and get up.
Exhausted, but ready to start living a better life, you get out of bed and turn off your alarm. Your room is a mess, but you manage not to trip as you make your way across the landscape. Before you leave, is there anything you might want to do?

It's like every other text-based RPG. It's a collaborative effort. Everyone can throw in their own suggestions and I'll choose the most popular choice or, if there is no majority, pick one at random.

Examine backpack.
You pick up your backpack and open it...
It's empty. But there's room for you to fit
six items inside, it seems. You shrug and
equipped it. Congratulations, you now have the
small backpack! It allows you to access your
inventory. Is that all you needed, you wonder? Maybe there's more to find in your cluttered room. Or maybe not, and you should leave for school.

True, true.
You open up your dresser and sift through your clothes. You find something suitable and throw it on. Now you've got your clothes and empty backpack. Is there anything else you need?

You found your school book, sunglasses, and wallet inside the desk! You grab all three items and shove them into your backpack. Your
school book covers all of your subjects for classes, so you'll need it if you ever get stuck in class. Your
sunglasses can be worn for better hallway vision. Your
wallet contains $50 and your ID, so hold onto that.
Everything is in your inventory, and you can choose to use any of your items at any given time.

You can put them on at any time.
You get to school and walk through a generic hallway towards your class. But wait,
girls. Three of them, if your math hasn't gotten too rusty during break. Mini Martini, Chickie Bichie, and Tootie Bootie (from left).

What should you do? You've seen them throughout middle school, and you know they are notorious for being... well, ninnyy. But what they lack in brain cells and personality they make up for in their looks and bedroom prowess (so you've heard, at least). You've got a few minutes to kill before class, should you make a fool of yourself on your first day and talk to them?

Armed with a newfound confidence... What should your next move be?

Talk to girls. Be brave.
Ignore the brave part, just be like most guys who can talk to girls in high school, stupid, partially perverted, and throw out some jokes on the side.
You decide to talk to the girls... What's the worst that can happen?
(http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/9682/fuhigh2.png)
"Uh, hi Mini," you say, talking to the brunette (the head of the pack). She turns her head and stares at you.
"Oh." She's silent for another beat. So are you. Awkward and long silence... until, "Who are you?"
"Er, Guy. Guy Mann." More silence. Your words aren't getting through to her. "We went to middle school together," you add, trying to trigger some form of recollection.
"Um, okay," she says, brushing you off and beginning to turn away and back to her friends. You're losing her. What should you do?

I'll let someone else decide what she says.
"You're very shagadelic."
Just see.

The words escape your mouth, with an Austin Powers accent to boot.
Mini stops, everything freezes. She turns around to face you, eyebrow raised. "I'm very...
what?"
Can't lose your mojo now. "Shagadelic," you repeat, only this time you lose the accent. "It's from Austin Powers."
"Mhm, kay. You don't have to tell me things I already know. You're wasting the precious oxygen around me. And I don't want to get creepy nerd germs." Her friends fall into fits of giggles at the slam she just sent your way. Your face falls and your face is probably turning red. With a snap of her fingers, she and her posse leave.
Ouch. You can feel your popularity and coolness levels dropping... First day and you already feel like you've run a mile. Will you ever be able to make a comeback after that performance? Now what?

Throw a tem--no, just...go to class before you do something else stupid...
Who knows, maybe you'll see her again later... this time WITHOUT her friends. People behave differently without their "posse."
Go to class.

You try to listen to the teacher, but everything begins to mesh together. It sounds like all he's saying is... "math" over and over again. There's a pause in his words. You look up. He's looking right at you. Were you asked a question? You didn't hear your name get called... What should you do?
>"Oh my god, we get it, you're a nerd!"
>"Uh, the answer is... (insert # here)."

"Can I go to the bathroom?"
That works anytime. Usually. Though I know you'll find a way to make that end badly, Kill Joy. : |

The teacher rolls his eyes but lets you go, seeing as it's the first day. You quickly skip out on class and... with nothing better to do, go to the bathroom.
(http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/5631/bathroom1.png)
You walk in and... Oh crap, there's a big, black football player full monty right in front of you. And for some reason, you can't stop staring. Thank god you have sunglasses on. But what should you do?
>Attempt conversation
>>"So... How would one try out for the football team?"
>>"Wow you have a huge dick. I mean, you're a huge dick. No, wait. Actually I meant the first thing. Uh, or..."
>>"Sup, homie!"
>>"Hey man, do you think you could teach me how to talk Jive?"
>Do your business.

Do your business. Why make a big deal about someone... unless the character's gay. But assuming he's not, yeah. Just ignore him.
>>"Hey man, do you think you could teach me how to talk Jive?"

Fair enough.
You lean up against the wall, attempting to look nonchalant. You quickly decide to make conversation. But what to say, what to say... You clear you throat and utter the first words that come out of your mouth: "Hey man, do you think you could teach me how to talk Jive?"
The big football player looks up and stares at you for a second. He finishes and zips up his pants, then moves closer to you. "And what makes 'chu think I know howta talk Jive, cracka?"
He's closing in on you, and does
not look happy. You need an excuse... and fast.
>"Cause you're black."
>"Doesn't everyone?"
>"Sorry, I have tourettes!"
>Run away!
[spoiler]Since I had the other one done, I figured I might as well show you want the other option would have given you:
You slide up next to the black guy, pull down your pants, and proceed to pee. Except you actually didn't have to pee, that was just an excuse to get out of class. You stand there, dry, unable to muster anything out. The black guy gives you a strange look. You screw up your face, praying for something,
anything, to come out.
(http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/5631/bathroom1.png)
Nothing does. The black dude finishes and seems extra quick to get out of the bathroom and away from you. Great, who knows what he thought about you. And who knows what he'll spread around to all his other football friends... Now what?

, you say quickly, your eyes closed, waiting to be punched in the face. Nothing happens. When you open your eyes, the guy is standing in front of you, looking slightly less hostile.
"Yeah, well then why don't 'chu, punk?"
"Cause I'm... a nerd?" You try the excuse, waiting and wondering if your next word will be your last. The guy stands there for a minute or two, thinking it over with a serious face. Suddenly, he breaks out laughing! You look confused for a moment, but then start to chuckle nervously, too.
"Yo, this clown's white and nerdy," the guy says, laughing, smacking you on the back. Your knees buckle, but you don't fall over. "You should try out for the football team, brotha. We'll make a man outta 'chu." He suddenly stops laughing, you do too, your voice dying in the bathroom and sudden dead silence... The football player throws a punch at you, stopping centimeters from your face. Your eyes go wide. "Nah, man, you ain't got the reflexes for it." Then he breaks out laughing again and walks away from you without another word.
You stand in the bathroom a little longer, taking deep breaths. What exactly just happened? Did you just make a "friend" or was that guy making fun of you? You couldn't quite tell... Anyway, after catching your breath, what should you do now?
>Go back to class
