This school's becoming popular....

Wowowow, Academy de Claw just got MORE new ghouls today. Wow.
I kinda did descriptions of them:
Elissabat Von Wing- a vampire who loves black and purple and has a Transylvanian accent. For example- "Vhat are ve going to do today een class, Meess Volf?" I'm not going to always type it like that, it's too difficult.
Draculuna Vamp- Draculaura's twin sister that's 3 minutes younger than her. She's wears a sailer's outfit, Skull Shores style. Hates normies.
Rochelle Goyle- a Scarisian (normie translation: Parisian) gargoyle who's really good friends with Catrine. Wears a pink silk dress with the Eiffel Terror (or tower) on it, and a pink Scarisian cap.
Robbeca Steam- daughter of a mad scientist, who built her. Wears blue and bronze Victorian-style clothing and rocket engine boots. She brought her pet mechanical penguin, named Penny.
So many new students, so all classes have been changed. They are now posted on the Academy de Claw blog (academydeclaw.blogspot.com), please subscribe.
Miss Wolf says we might get even MORE new students, oh my ghoul I don't think I can stand that....plus a new teacher! I just wish Madame Blackheart was back, why does everything have to be so different????
Argh, Cleo just sent me a rude text: OMG VNS, U R SOOO ADDCTD 2 BLGGING, WHY DONT U JST WRK WTH GHSTLY GSSIP?
Hey, how did Cleo know I had a blog?
And what does she know about Ghostly Gossip?

Miss Wolf

Hello, I'm back again, to tell you more about my new teacher Clawdia....I mean Miss Wolf.
She's really nice, except when she's impatient. She has also developed a liking for me, Frankie, and Draculaura. And she hates Cleo.
The first thing Clawdia says in class this morning was that NO ONE can call her Clawdia, not even Clawdeen. We had to call her Miss Wolf, because she was 19 years old and an adult werewolf now.
Cleo was all like: "Pah! I'm 5842 years old, and I have to respect some ghoul that's 19? Ridiculous! I DEMAND for ME to be respected also!" Oh my ghoul Cleo....I just wish she would shut up for once. Oh well, the world does not revolve around me. Plus, if Cleo did be quiet the whole time, I don't think Spectra would be here in the first place.
Back on topic.
Clawdia is the kind that plays favorites, for example, say if I talk in class for a little, Clawdia would just gently remind me. But if Cleo does the same thing, well....not happy werewolf. To be honest, I wouldn't play favorites if I was the teacher, but I guess I can't do anything to prevent myself from hating Cleo. Don't blame Clawdia for that, I totally understand :-).
Ooooh, and have you seen Miss Wolf's car? It's a brick red mini-SUV (not a mini-van), with beige leather seats, a sunroof, and silver lining on basically everything. Clawdia really loves brick red you know....and the color's not as bad as you think, just a really reddish shade of mahogany. BTW, a lot of students in this school are starting to have Sweet 16th parties, so many are getting new cars.
OMG! I'm going to be late for my manicure appointment! Gotta go!

Cancer

Oh my ghoul oh my ghoul. I have some serious news.
Madame Blackheart was diagnosed with CANCER. You heard me, cancer.
Yikes, I feel so bad for the Madame, well, pretty much all of  the ghouls here do, except for Cleo. She's actually running around the school right now shouting: "No more homework! No more classes! No more teachers! Yeah!"
Boy was she wrong. This afternoon, a tall werewolf with honey blond hair and a tablet in her hands walked through the door. She immediately called an announcement in the lounge. This is what happened:
Clawdeen was the first to come, well, after me. As soon as she saw the werewolf she gasped, ran over, and hugged her.
"Clawdia! Clawdia, you came! I missed you so much sis....wait a sec what the heck are you doing here?" Okay, so apparently Clawdia was Clawdeen's older sister, but WHAT the HECK was she doing here? Back on topic. So all the other ghouls came down to the lounge, and Cleo (with a cucumber mask on her face) was like: "Somebody interrupted my spa routine! What is going on here?"
Clawdia tapped her claws impatiently, and said: "Hello, ghouls, my name is Clawdia Wolf, older sister of Clawdeen, and I have some bad news to tell you." (Spectra turned on her phone). "Madame Blackheart was diagnosed with cancer last night, and she will not be able to teach for many months."
"Oh yeah!" Cleo shouted, "No school now!"
"Shush! I have MORE news to tell you," Clawdia snapped, sounding impatient. "Madame Blackheart had told me that I will be your substitute for the time she's in the hospital!"
 Gasps ran out through the room. Spectra tapped on her iCoffin, her eyes glued to the screen. I shuddered. Madame Blackheart? Cancer? This was impossible!
But the thing is, it will be VERY hard for all of us to adjust to a new teacher.

Three new ghouls

We had three new students today: Draculaura Vamp, Toralei Stripe, and Scarah Screams.
Of course, they walked up to the front of the room, introduced themselves like I did when I first got here, and then requested a school tour.
Clawdeen got to tour Draculaura, Catrine got to tour  Scarah, and I got to tour Toralei (say TOR-a-lie). She was a very shy orange tabby werecat, with shoulder-length orange hair with black stripes in it. Very pretty.
When Toralei was introducing herself, I noticed that Cleo wasn't acting really friendly with her. I mean, Cleo is almost never nice to anyone, but still....I asked Toralei if she knew Cleo before she came to Academy de Claw. She said yes, she used to be a really big bully and prankster back at Monster High (why had I never noticed her before?), playing such mean trick on monsters that she made Cleo look like an innocent 4-year-old. And now she has changed, wanting to be nicer, but she's so afraid that other ghouls will still think she's mean, so Toralei has become painfully shy.
I told Toralei that it was okay, that nobody will still think she's mean, well except for Cleo. Anyways, we began the school tour, and I showed Toralei every room in the building, plus where she's gonna sleep. She'll be sharing a room with Catrine, Draculaura will be sharing with Frankie, and Scarah will share with Abbey.
I went back downstairs to get a snack, then a horrible thought came into my head: what is Spectra posted Toralei's life story on her blog? Then everyone will see it, and Cleo will probably be cackling with glee! So I ran to tell Spectra to please please PLEASE not post this on a Ghostly Gossip, but she already has. Phooey.
AAAAHHHHHHHH! That was me screaming....in my head!
What made this day worse was that Cleo, who taunt ME about TORALEI'S problems. So I screamed at her: "Will you just shut up!!!!" And then Madame Blackheart lectured me on using "offensive language". Sigh, enough for one day.

No fair AT ALL

Arrrggghhh....after Cleo smushed a piece of pie in my face I was feeling very upset, even after a night with 10 long hours of sleep. When I woke up, and also after going to class and eating lunch, something WORSE happened that made me feel like pounding the table and screaming. 2 things, actually.
1) Ghoulia got a brain-themed motorcycle from her dad, no, it was a scooter, plus a matching helmet and basket.
2) Cleo got a glossy white golf cart from her rich family, with a shiny silver roof, a real glass windshield (few golf carts have windshields), and 6 beige seats made out of real leather. I'm not even sure if Cleo knows how to drive a golf cart....
I am just sooooo jealous, but I guess I should just be glad that Cleo didn't get a real car. I mean, she's definitely old enough to drive one (Cleo's about 5842 years old, she's a mummy), but I doubt Cleo has ever taken driver's ed and passed it.
So Ghoulia rode in town today on her new scooter to the bookstore, and Cleo took Frankie, Clawdeen, Abbey, and Lagoona to the park today. I didn't want Lagoona to go, but she doesn't hate Cleo half as badly as I do, even though I'm her best friend and Cleo has bullied me before. Don't ask me why.
Since all of my friends were gone, I decided to catch up on my homework. I was in the middle of a super-hard algebra problem when Cleo texted me: U SCK LKE A PAIR OF UNFSHIONBLE SHOES (translation: you suck like a pair of unfashionable shoes). It really angered me, plus now I had to start my math problem again, which will probably take about 25 minutes. All of which was Cleo's fault.

Sorry ghouls, my head is starting to hurt, so I gotta get off the computer now. See you soon,
Venus

Yeeeeaaaahhhhh new waitress....and pie in my face

While I was back at the school listening to conversations and arguments, Spectra was at Claw Cafe to  get some more info/juicy gossip.
She told me that they fired the old waitress and hired a new one, and that she was a normie named Alice Langley who was monster-friendly, a good thing. So I decided to go to Claw Cafe with Lagoona to eat dinner, and to see the new waitress.
I ordered pork chops with some Coke, and Lagoona ordered vegetables and rice with hot cocoa. The waitress Alice WAS real nice, ya know, MUCH nicer than the last waitress who glared at me and liked Cleo. Speaking of Cleo, she's here now (dang it!) sitting at the other patio table alone. She was really rude to Alice and sent her food back like ten times, complaining that there was a hair in it or something. Well, at least Lagoona and I had a nice dinner....I never said dessert.
I ordered a slice on lemon meringue pie for dessert, and Lagoona didn't get anything because she had hot cocoa. Anyway, when my pie came and the waitress was out of sight, Cleo marched over to my table and smashed the pie into my face.
"Aaaaaahhhhhhh!" That was me. Unfortunately. And this time, Cleo DIDN'T call the waitress over, probably because she knew Alice would be nice to me. The good thing was, Alice heard me scream and helped me clean up. The bad thing was, everyone else heard me too, and Spectra probably just put that on her blog.
Sigh....at least Alice cleaned my face and gave me another slice of pie, for free, and she made sure Cleo didn't rub it in my face that time (how did she know it was her?). When me and Lagoona were finished with our food, I checked the Ghostly Gossip blog, and sure enough, Spectra had written all about the incident: CLEO DE NILE STRIKES AGAIN, AND VENUS GETS PIE IN HER FACE. Sooooo embarrasing. And to add to the embarrassment, everyone at our school reads Ghostly Gossip, even Madame Blackheart. Hopefully, she'll punish Cleo for what she did.

I'll write later,
Venus

Courage (continued)

Continued from previous post.
Then she basically pinned me against the wall and hissed: "Don't you dare, DARE tell anyone! Ever!"
"Okay okay!" I snapped, "I won't tell. But just saying....if Madame Blackheart catches you using that phone, she's gonna kill you!"
"I can't die, smart one, I'm a ghost!" Spectra snarled. I never knew she could be that fierce. Anyway, she continued: "Just don't tell, Venus. I'll let you in on the secret that no one else knows. You're lucky, ghoul."
"Okay,"I said. "I won't tell your secret on one condition: that you let me help you find things to write about, which shouldn't be too hard. Then I'll come back and tell you."
Spectra thought about this for a moment. "Fine," she said, and then she floated away, straight through the wall. I stared at the place where she went through, but just for a moment. I decided if I should know Spectra's secret, I needed to start reporting back to her. So I went to look for some drama....not hard at all. Cleo and Clawdeen were fighting over a lost wallet.
"It's MINE! It has CLAW MARKS on it, and I have claws!" Clawdeen snarled. "And besides, it's PURPLE, which is, BTW, my FAVORITE COLOR!"
"Well, it has $200 in it, and I'M the one that's RICH!" Cleo spat. "In case you hadn't noticed, wolf, YOU have to split your tiny allowance between you and your LITTLE SISTER!"
"Cleo, all of my savings are in there!" Clawdeen was now close to tears. "You even SAID that you were rich, so GET SOME MONEY OUTTA THE BANK AND GIVE MY WALLET BACK!"
Cleo looked like she was about to explode with anger.
"You would NOT talk to royalty like that!" She exclaimed. "It is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!"
I was about to go and break up the fight, 'cause the two ghouls looked like they were about to claw each other's face off. But then Madame Blackheart came, decided that Clawdeen was the wallet's rightful owner, and left. Wow, this school is full of drama.

Courage

HELP!!!!!!
Knowing Spectra's secret is just too much for me to handle--- I'm like a water balloon about to burst. How will I get the courage to tell Spectra, when the whole school (not counting Lagoona) sees me as a public humiliation? Cleo's "accidents" were all over the Ghostly Gossip blog, but even though every monster hates Cleo, they don't like me either!!!!
Okay, I'll get to the point: I can't really get on with life anymore, not when this secret is held inside me and there's no one to tell. I NEED COURAGE! But the thing is, I don't have any! So I just flopped down on the bed and burst into tears....for about 2 seconds. I decided if Spectra got that on her blog I'd be ruined. I'll tell you more later.

30 minutes later....
I took a deep breath and climbed down the ladder connecting me and Cleo's dorm rooms (more deep breathes), then walked through the bathroom and into Clawdeen and Spectra's room. Whew, Clawdeen wasn't in there....anyway, I said: "Spectra, can we talk?"
She said: "Sure, I guess." Okay, now I'll list out what we said like an interview:
Me: "Um, so, uh, Spectra, you could say....that I kinda figured out something."
Spectra: "What is it? Tell me!"
Me: "On my first day of school, I, well, I saw you sneak-using your phone under your desk, so---"
Spectra: "Oh, uh, well, that was nothing. Nothing!"
Me: "Riigghhttttt....anyways, I was curious about what you were doing, and I wanted to ask you, but I didn't have time. So, um, 2 nights ago I kinda snuck into your room and picked up your phone---"
Spectra: "No!"
Me: "---and I saw that you were the Ghostly Gossip."
Spectra just stared at me with a horrified expression on her face. Then she basically pinned me against the wall and

Shout outs to doll crafters

Hi ghouls, I went on YouTube this weekend and searched for some really clawesome doll crafters. They're people who make crafts for your American Girl, Barbie, Monster High, and Bratz dolls....and even smaller dolls like Polly Pockets. The crafts include furniture, accessories, clothes, and the best part....dollhouses!!!
Here are some fangtastic YouTubers that I would recommend:
GingerLola2011- my favorite one. She makes superb dollhouses and doll crafts. Her main blog is www.lolasminihomes.blogspot.com, you gotta check her out.
MyFroggyStuff- another great YouTuber. I don't know if she makes dollhouses or not, but her crafts are totally fabulous. Her blog is www.myfroggystuff.blogspot.com.
Chad Alan- for all I know, he makes the BEST customized doll beds for Monster High dolls (like me!) that match their style perfectly. He also makes other little doll things that I'm not gonna name here....you find out. I don't think this YouTuber has a blog, but you can search that.
GardenOfImagination- I hadn't really watched a lot of videos on this person's YouTube channel yet,but she really IS a garden of imagination. Her blog is www.gardenofimagination42.blogspot.com.
Jubidada Crafts- I hadn't watched a lot of her videos either, but she's good at making doll couches....that's the only one of her videos I've actually watched. She doesn't have a blog.

Happy crafting,
Venus

Spectra's secret revealed....at least to me

I. Have. Just. Figured. Out. Something. Important!!!!
It's Spectra the ghost's biggest, deepest, darkest secret. You know how a couple posts ago I told you about Spectra sneak-using her phone? Well, now I know why. So here's how it goes: last night, I snuck into Spectra and Clawdeen's dorm room (gotta be careful, Clawdeen has sharp hearing!), picked up Spectra's already on iCoffin, and flicked through a couple of apps. And then I saw the Ghostly Gossip app! Hold on a sec, let me tell you what Ghostly Gossip is. It's the official Academy de Claw blog that describes all the unknown gossip. Nobody knows who owns the blog....well, I'm about to find out.
I tapped on the app, and then a page popped up and it said "Ghostly Gossip: New Post". OMG! Does that mean Spectra is the creator of Ghostly Gossip?! To make sure, I looked at the login....and sure enough, the username was SpectraVondergeist123.
When I crept back into my room, I silently told myself to not tell anyone, except maybe Spectra herself, when I get the courage. I wonder how she'll react--- maybe Spectra will delete the blog and hate me forever....until unlife. That would be soooo bad, now I don't even want to tell her. So I just lay in bed and thought about it.
Doesn't the fact that Spectra is the Ghostly Gossip make perfect sense? I mean, she can float through walls, spy on conversations, and best of all, stay invisible....I can't believe I've never thought about it before. And still, GHOSTLY Gossip? Get it? Spectra's a GHOST? I am just so stupid.
So ghouls, should I tell Spectra that I found out about her secret? Or should I just get on with life and mind my own beeswax? Tell me in your comments.

See y'all later,
Venus

Cleo again!!!

Hi ghouls, I'm back, and this time with more gossip from Academy de Claw. So today, Lagoona and I went to Claw Cafe for dinner, to talk more about planet preservation. We sat on the patio, where there's two tables, and soon Cleo came and sat down at the other tables. She was like: "Hey ghooouuulls, wassup? I'm just here to tell you that this whole Eco-friendly thing SUCKS. See y'all later!"
I can't believe she did that. It was SO MEAN! Lagoon totally agreed with me: "Mate, ignore Cleo. She'll chill off in a couple of days and then she'll just ignore us." I wish that was true, but I know Cleo will never chill until she gets her way. And what she wants is basically for me to be kicked out of the Academy. Not gonna happen.
A couple of minutes later the waitress came, and I ordered clam chowder, the most expensive thing on the menu. I wish I didn't, because Cleo same over to me and "accidentally" knocked it over, then yelled: "Waaaaiiiitreeeeessss! Venus knocked over her clam chowder! Come and clean uuuuuuuuupp!"
Oh my ghoul it was so embarrassing! Just my luck, all the other students from Academy de Claw were there too, not to mention a couple of normies. When the waitress came, she glowered at me and actually THANKED Cleo for pointing out my "misfortune".  Cleo gave me an evil grin and walked off.
Me and Lagoona went back to the school after I cleaned up, and now Cleo and I are more against each other than ever. Sigh....what a total waste of money. That clam chowder was at least $8 and the waitress demanded extra payment for her "good service". I hope Claw Cafe gets a new waitress soon, I just can't stand this one!

New ghoul at school continued

Alright, I'm back again. So my first day of school at Academy de Claw wasn't bad at all, Madame Blackheart said I'll be in Class 1, with Cleo, Lagoona, and Spectra. The other class (class 2) has more students than my class. I think we're expecting a new student soon. Also, I'm sharing a dorm room with Lagoona, she's a really nice ghoul and also an eco-freak, which is all good. The only bad thing about my dorm is that Cleo and Ghoulia's room is right below mine....oh by the way the floors in this building are connected by ladders. And unfortunately enough me and Cleo's rooms just happen to be connected (by a ladder). Cleo is so annoying, she kept me up last night because of her TV. Her dorm room didn't come with it, like Frankie's, she brought it from home. Sigh.... Frankie's so lucky she has her own room. I think the new student (whoever she may be) is going to share rooms with Frankie. Back on topic....Cleo brought this really cool mini-flat screen TV she put on her vanity, and she won't even let Ghoulia use it. Ghoulia is so nice and smart and Cleo is so mean, but Ghoulia doesn't think that. She and Cleo are best friends you know, and--- never mind. What I was about to say is insulting to monster nature, I mean at least Cleo's nature.
This is my second day are school, and believe me, if you think going to a gifted monster's school is easy, then you're wrong. Madame Blackheart gives us so much homework, I barely have any free time, and the lessons are so complicated, especially in clawculus (normie translation- calculus). And to make it worse Cleo is in my class. She makes so much commotion and adds everything to the drama, plus blames it on me. At least Madame Blackheart doesn't believe her. One other thing I have to point out is Spectra. She's always sneak-using her iCoffin under her desk in class, especially when me and Cleo are fighting. Hmm....could she be recording what she's seeing? I'll just have to ask her to find out.
Bye for now,
Venus
