Chapter 3 - Werewolf Class

Aphmau's Point Of View

"Homeschool, huh?" Travis asked me.

"Yeah!" I said like I was excited but really I wasn't.

"That sounds awesome!"

Uh, not really, but then again it kinda depends on how you go about it. My sister Y/N was extatic when mom told us we were going to be homeschooled. I just honestly wanted to be alone and play my online games. I kind of regret doing that because I don't really have any friends in real life. I explained to the white haired boy.

"Real life? What does that mean?" Travis said questioning why I said that.

"Well, I do have this one friend that I met online, and I message every now and then. We've been friends for a while, and they're really cool." I told him.

"That's cool. Glad your not totally alone." he said.

Well I actually have- I started and glanced at Y/N who was right next to me. I don't know why but I felt like I was letting her down in a way. Even though she acts like she doesn't care I know deep down she does and usually has my back. I just shook off that feeling.

"What about you?" I said changing the subject.

"I have one friend that attends this school. He's a sophomore and he's really cool! He dated two girls at one time!"

I was shocked at what he said he didn't look like a guy who would be friends with a player but I wanted to hear him out first.

"Wow, uh, two girls? You think that's cool? He sounds like a total player." I said in the nicest way I could.

"He is. I mean, I'm girl crazy, but I'm not that girl crazy. I don't think I'd ever be that confident to approach one girl, let alone ask two on a date." he said shyly.

"Yeah. That sounds like a lot of effort." I say awkwardly

"For sure." Travis says. There was a small silence before he spoke again. "When do you think they're going to let us in?" he asked.

A second later the teacher cleared his throat.

"Alright class, it's our turn to head into the gymnasium. You guys are free to mingle and get to know more about the school clubs and meet your upperclassmen until the bell rings." tge teacher told us.

"Sir?" a red headed girl asked I think her name is Nicole.

"Yes Ms. Von Ronsenburg?" he said looking at her.

"Once the bell rings, do we head back to homeroom?" she asked. That was a pretty good question I wanted to know that as well.

"Ah, great question. When the bell rings, you will all be going to your last class of the day listed on your schedule. Then after that, congratulations! Your first day of highschool will be over." the teacher said with enthusiasm.

"Er, really?" I said only loud enough for Travis to hear.

"Wow. That went by fast." Travis said surprised.

"E-excuse me sir. What about our other classes?" I asked raising my voice so he could hear me.

"Tomorrow you'll meet your homeroom first, then you'll head to your other classes from there, but for now into the gymnasium you go. Don't worry, the upperclassmen won't bite. Come on." he explained.

At the corner of my eye I saw Y/N snicker. Was she planning something? I saw her get up and run away.

Y/N's Point Of View

I walked to the bathroom to get out of this nerdy uniform that we were forced to wear. I decided I was going to make an impression for the first day.

I grabbed my outfit out of my bag and changed

you wore a black crop top with a skull on it and a red and black plaid skirt.

Let's show em what I'm made of.

I walked into the club social to see Aphmau with her friend Snow White. Sometimes I wish I had someone to talk to but I know that nobody would want to be friends with someone like me, so I just embrace it and do my own thing.

I found quite a few clubs I was interested but that might not be great for my reputation. Then I saw a ball flying toward Aphmau's friend, so I ran toward and hit the ball back where it came from.

Ah! Travis! Are you okay!? You almost got hit! Aph said.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhh I'm fine. he said trying to process what happened left.

Then the blue haired girl who threw the volleyball walked toward us.

Nice catch, you saved that dork from catching the ball with his face! she says laughing at the thought. I chuckled a bit showing my mean side.

H-hey! That's not very nice of y'all Aphmau said standing up for Travis.

Katelyn: *Laughs You gotta admit, that would've looked hilarious.

No it wouldn't have! Eh, Travis! Aphmau said.

Soon the brown haired guy Aphmau was walking with earlier walked toward us.

Katelyn, don't tease the freshmen.

"Hey, come on, I'm teaching them tough love! I didn't mean any harm in it." She said innocently.

Tell that to the dude's face he looks scared to death luckily this other freshmen hit the ball away. he said sternly looking at the girl who's name is Katelyn.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhh." he mumbled with the same expression.

*Sighs* I'll go get the counselor. he said walking off.

Oh come on, it's not even an injury. she said defending herself.

Then that other guy who Aphmau was drooling all over walked up to us again.

Katelyn, come on, leave them alone. Not everyone is as tough as you. Blondie said.

I spoke up *ahem I said gaining their attention.

This girl just might. the blue haired girl said referring to me.

Oh really? he said looking at me.

Okay let's start this conversation over Blondie said. and....ok

Katelyn, come on, leave them alone. Not everyone is as tough as you. Blondie said repeating what he said before.

"Well if it isn't the charming prince." Katelyn said looking at him smugly.

"Heh. I have a name, you know." he said.

"Tell that to all the freshman girls gawking over you. I swear, they don't even wanna know your name." she said back. I snickered knowing that was true.

"Jealous?" Blondie said smirking.

"Hm. I don't really care either way. You're annoying." she said.

"Don't you have a booth to run?" he asked a bit annoyed by her answer.

"D'oh crud that's right! Hey! Little freshman." Katelyn called out to Aph.

"M-me?" she stuttered.

"Yeah you. Sorry about your friend there. Stop by the volleyball club's booth if you need someone to hang out with." she said and then looked at me.

"And you..." she said looking at me. "Think about joining the Volleyball team you're pretty good for a freshman."

"Thanks!!" I said.

*sigh* "There's the sweet Katelyn I know." Blondie stated.

"Shut up pretty boy! Jeez. Oops! My girls need me, see ya." she says darting toward the volleyball booth.

Sorry about her. Are y'all okay? he asked looking at us.

"U-uh I-I'm fine." Aphmau said laughing nervously.

Me too. I say trying to stop laughing because of how much Aphmau was drooling.

"You sure? You're drooling." he said and I snickered.

"Dah!" Aphmau says wiping her mouth.

Blondie laughed along with me.

"I-I'm perfectly fine. Uh-uh b-but Travis! That's right!" Aphmau says realizing her friend is still standing there in shock.

Travis shakes his head and looks at the three of us.

"Travis, you're okay!" Aphmau says her worried tone disappearing in an instant.

Looks like you guys are fine here. I need to walk around see if I need to help out the other freshmen. Don't be afraid to come and ask me for help if you get lost or overwhelmed. he said.

"S-sure!" Aphmau said stuttering.

"Have fun!" he said and walked away.

Aphmau eyes Garroth from afar, sighing. I rolled my eyes at her antics and noticed Travis staring at her too. He looked at me and I just shrugged.

Travis: "Who's the dreamboat you're drooling over?" he says breaking the silence."

"Eh... What? Hehehehe I'm not drooling. Wait... why are we talking about that? Travis, are you okay?" Aphmau asks turning away from the subject.

Yeah, I'm fine. I just feel like I need to be a lot more careful if it wasn't for this girl I might've had a concussion.

Aw, I'm so sorry. It must've been so embarrassing for you. I said actually having sympathy.

Normally it would have been embarrassing, yeah... but I had people here who cared about me. he said looking at us both.

Aphmau sighs

So... thanks for that. he said back

"I didn't really do anything." Aphmau said slight awkwardness in her voice.

I didn't feel alone, and that's enough for me. And thanks for looking out for me what's your name? he asked me.

Oh it's Y/N! I said a tiny bit more confident than before with the compliment he gave me.

Ha. Well, come on! Let's go check out all of the clubs. he said excitedly.

Yeah! Let's do it! Aphmau said even more excited

Ummm.....okay? I said making it sound like a question.

~TIME SKIP BROUGHT TO YOU BY DANTE AND TRAVIS THE SHOW (and Laurence but who cares about him lol)~

That's the bell. What's the last class on your schedule? Travis asked us.

It's something called WWLF 107? Huh. Aphmau said.

Oh I have that class too!! I said.

"Weird. Never heard of it. I got BIO 101. Ugh." he said disappointed.

"Heh. So I guess we'll see you around, then?" Aphmau said.

"Yeah. Maybe we'll have another class together?" he said hopefully.

"Heh. Maybe? At least we have home room together." Aphmau said.

Right. Good luck, not-alone buddies! he said enthusiastically.

Heh. Same to you, Travis. Let's go! Before this place starts to empty out. Aphmau says as she grabs my hand and sprints down the hallway.

Aphmau: *gasps* Here's our class. *pants* we made it in time. Oh, my gosh, we have plenty of time to spare.

What did you just say?! a werewolf said angrily.

"Buzz off." the human said back.

"Huh? W-what's going on here?" Aphmau asked anyone who would answer.

"Some new kid decided to get on Balto's bad side. He's going to have a bad time. Balto is gonna rip him apart if he keeps this up." the random werewolf explained to her.

"H-huh? What? Wait, a fight? We're not just going to let this happen, are we? Shouldn't we do something, like go get a teacher?" Aphmau says concerned.

"Nah. It's better if we just stay out of it. First day back to school, Balto's been itching for a fight. Last kid that got in his way was in the hospital for weeks." the werewolf said

"That's awful!" Aphmau said making mysterious noises.

"You don't get to be Alpha of the pack by playing nice." they said before turning away.

Uh— Aphmau starts before the werewolf named Balto cut her off.

"That's my seat!" he yelled.

"There aren't assigned seats. Just go find another one." the human shot back calmly.

"Uh— DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHO I AM?!" he said so angry I could almost see smoke flying out of his ears.

"Yeah, you're annoying." the human said. I chuckled knowing I used something sort of like that with Ivy.

" IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE FUNNY?" Balto asked Aaron?

"Kinda." human said. The human is funny he's cool.

"OH THIS IS PERFECT! YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH TODAY DON'T YOU?!" he said with venom in his voice.

"U-uh Hey! Uh, You, um, y-you need to stop, because... if you don't, I'll go get a teacher!" Aphmau stuttered.

"Ha! Little pup intends on telling on me? You've got some backbone." he said. I was getting angry.

"I-I just don't want anyone to get hurt." Aphmau said with fear in her voice.

"Hahaha. You're in the wrong class if you don't want to get hurt." he said laughing. That was it. That was the moment I broke. I wasn't going to be part of the people in the background anymore.

TOUCH HER AND IT WILL BE THE LAST THING YOU EVER TOUCH!! I say threatening him.

"Oh yeah and watcha gonna do hit me?, punch me? I'd like to see you try and hurt me." he said. He basically just made fun of me for being a girl. I decided that I wasn't going to let people pick on me or anyone I care about just for fun. I finally let my anger out.

He waited for whatever I was going to do and to his surprise I kicked him where the sun don't shine. Then I grabbed him and threw him out the window. My anger dialed down and I looked at all the shocked faces. I smirked knowing I could have some fun with this. Anyone else wanna join him? I asked. Everyone looked away quickly and sat down. I sat in a desk next to Aphmau and that human's

The teacher walks in and looks at the window. "Looks like werewolf class is off to a great start this year. Haha. Hello class. First day and we're already throwing each other out the window, huh, hahah. *clears throat* I know that tempers can run high in these classes but, the principal informed me that the school had to cut back on their window repair budget, so, we need to try our best to cut back on this type of behavior, alright?"

Aphmau: Are you kidding me?! T-this is normal?! Aphmau whispered to me.

I just shrugged and turned back to the teacher.

Ok, let's get started, shall we? Welcome everyone to Werewolf 107- Intro to basic transformation. Now, I know that some of you already know how to transform, but I'm here to explain." the teacher said.

Uh, excuse me! Aphmau said politely.

"Uh— yes?" he said looking at her.

"I-I think there's been a mix-up. I-I don't think I'm supposed to be here?" Aphmau said questioning herself.

"Huh, really? Well, let's take a look at your schedule." he said telling her to come over.

"Ok, here it is." she said handing him her packet.

" Hmm, no, it says right here. You're in the right class." he said pointing at the time.

"B-but, that's impossible! I'm not a—" Aphmau was going to say before the person who was sitting next to her spoke up.

"I'm not supposed to be here either." he said.

"What's that?" Mr. Gavin said looking at him.

Me either! I yelled.

"Well, according to this schedule, you are. Go talk to registration tomorrow if you need to be transferred, but for now, you're in my class. Now, everyone partner up with a seat buddy. We have an even number of students, so anyone who doesn't get partners gets thrown out the window. Hahaha! I'm just kidding— kind of."

Aphmau's Point Of View

The guy made a growling sound.

"Umm... he's really scary! Should I say something to him? Wait, remember, don't overthink this. You didn't do that with Travis and you made a friend, so... here goes nothing" "H-hey. It's nice to meet you! My name is Aph—"

Aaron: Next time there's a fight, why don't you and your friend try to stay out of other people's business?" he said heartlessly.

"I-I'm sorry, I just— I didn't want to see anyone get hurt." I said.

"Ugh, whatever." he mumbled.

I sigh This guy is such a jerk. I-I was only trying to help.

Soon enough Garroth showed up and when he saw me it looked like his eyes lit up.

Eh! Did he smile at me?!

"Hey, freshman!" the teacher yelled at me.

"Y-yes!" I stuttered.

"Pay attention!" the teacher yelled.

I glanced at Y/N and saw she was taking it seriously. I remember when we were kids she was always fascinated by werewolves. It was her favorite topic to study in. I guess she's going to enjoy werewolf class then.

~TIME SKIP BROUGHT TO YOU BY MY FRIEND ANABELLE WHO IS VERY CREEPY~

So, was y'alls first day of school as terrible as you thought? mom asked me and N/N.

"Heh, you know what? It was actually really nice." I said enthusiastically.

Y/N just nodded her head happily. I was happy she decided she was going to try and be better. But y'know.....baby steps.
