Mother of Monsters

Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4.5

Welcome to High School Stor!

Puberty is hitting Stor like a train. He’s also growing rapidly now. Ah yes… the awkward teenage phase! Stor still has a baby face COVERED in acne. He’s very self-conscious about his acne because one pimple about the size of a human fist👊 and hard to miss.

The bullying has increased in the last few years, with people realizing Stor is just a big push over. Literally. He would never retaliate or raise a hand to anyone who mistreats him. Both out of worry he might accidentally hurt them and because Stor doesn’t have it in him to hurt anyone on purpose.

Thankfully, Stor has Yilan to stick up for him, and he does. Constantly. (Strega can’t do much, she’s still in middle school.)

By now, Yilan’s father ran out on them, he sends money, but they haven’t been in contact in a few years. Yilan HATES his mom’s new dead beat boyfriend, so he stays away from home. Yilan practically moves in with Stor, staying after school and on weekends. Luckily for Yilan, Stor has two dads who love Yilan.

——————————————————————————

It’s in his freshman year of High school that Stor meets Mizu Rivers for the first time…

She was in his 3rd period English Lit class. At first Mizu didn't stand out from the rest of the class, she stared at Stor or acted nervous when he was near. Not an unusual reaction, Stor tries to not take it personally, he can only imagine how intimidating he looks to others. But it still hurts. A lot.

----------

It's not until Stor gets (reluctantly) assigned to a group project with Mizu and her two "Friends" Nero (A water nymph & Mizu's cousin) and Lilith (a Succubus), that Stor finally interacts with Mizu.

Nero and Lilith slack off on their work and largely ignore Stor as he's trying to get the group on track to write their paper on the book "Gulliver's Travel's." Mizu doesn't make eye contact or talk to Stor so he's left at a loss for what to do.

Stor: H-hey, maybe we should actually start working on the project like the teacher said…

Nero: If you want it done so bad, do it YOURSELF. You’re a big boy…

Nero: (looks down) …literally…

Stor: 😟😵‍💫😧

Nero: Whatever. Let's go girls. 🙄

Nero stands up and leaves the classroom. While poor Stor is left red in the face and realing.

In his shock he looked at the other girls at the window. Lilith dngaf and just walked after Nero. And Mizu--- did... is Mizu making direct eye contact with Stor for the first time?

He could have imagined it, in fact he probably did, but she held fast. She quietly mouths the words "I'm sorry," and quickly runs after her friends.

Stor was left sitting alone, dumbfounded, and at a loss of what just happened and what to do next.

—————————————————————————

That night, Stør contemplates telling the teacher of his peers unwillingness to do the assignment, when he gets an email from Mizu:

"Hey Store, Stør, Stor? (However you spell it, idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

sorry about Nero and Lilith today, they never want to do their work. But don't worry about the assignment! ;D I'll type My part and their parts. Just worry about yours!

See you tomorrow!"

Stor quickly messaged back:

"Hi M. Rivers,

Thanks for reaching out, and explaining the situation, I really appreciate it!

I think it might be better if we split the assignment between the two of us?

I can write Lilith's part and you can do Nero's?

I don't want you to get overwhelmed with extra work!

See you tomorrow,

PS. My name is spelled "Stor""

A little later, Stor receives this email:

"That would be lovely!

Thank you, Stor!

Ps. just call me "Mizu" ;)"
