Daniel P.O.V.
I dislike changing, it's always so hard to get my tail to dry and then there's the matter of not letting the humans see you, it's just a bother all together! I hopped on the beach with my bag in my hand. Luckily my brother had packed me some fluffy towels. And so I began patting down my tail until it was completely dry.
When I was finally done, it only took me forever but sure, I had grown two legs (weird and unstable things if you ask me) and had changed into a human outfit. I was wearing some of my brothers land clothes, jeans, a white shirt and those annoying shoe things with the star logo. According to the human 'teen magazine' this was 'in', whatever that may be. I took a sneaky look around to make sure no one was watching and made my way out behind the rocks.
I walked off the beach and up to the nearest bus stop. I needed to go to monster high, which was about 6 stops according to the map my brother packed for me. I got out my pearls from my bag and counted them. I've got enough to go to the school and back, or at least that's what I think.
Human money is so weird, the 'bills' tear up so easily and they can't even take a little water. Yeah no I'd rather stick with pearls thank you very much! But I'm not up to date with the current pearl to dollar ratio. I put my hand through my hair, raking through it worridly. I'm sure that if I give the money to the driver he can help me out with the ticket.
As I waited for the bus, I looked around and actually got those nervous butterflies in my stomach. I was finally on 'dry land'. Sure I have gone on trips with my parents but this was different. I would actually be living on dry land. I could see some humans walking by and I suddenly feel very sneaky and have to fight off the laughter building up in my chest. They don't have the faintest idea that I am who I am. They have no knowledge of us but we know everything about them! It's like constantly living an inside joke.
The bus arrived about ten minutes later and I was almost too nervous to get on. The two human girls i saw walking earlier had formed a line behind me. They are staring at me with raised eyebrows. I just gave them a sheepish grin and touched my hair again. This was all too weird and I didn't know what to do next cause there were no 'car doors' to open and get in. The human girl behind me passed by me and pressed a button on the side of the bus, opening the side of the bus like magic.
"Are you getting on or not son?", I felt my cheecks heat up as I stared at the bus man.
"Sorry sir! I am!", I quickly grabbed my bags off the dry land and I stumbled in. I took a quick look into the bus and quietly asked if he could take me to the address. I felt a flood of relief hit me when the driver's eyes lit up an orange color and gave me a canine smile. Oh my gods he's a werewolf! This is great!
"Good on yah son, that'll be 2,50 or two green pearls and five bronze hermit shells please.", I gave him a timid smile and handed over the money to have it exchanged for a bus ticket.
I let out a little squeak when the bus started moving and quickly took a seat somewhere in the back. I'm pretty sure by now my face is as flushed as a crab. All the nerves and excitement of dry land started to get to me. I feel so dumb for not knowing how the human bus worked. I had even practiced with my brother!
I sighed in defeat over how I handled myself and decided to distract myself by looking out into the bus. There weren't a lot of people so I put my headphones on and started a random song. The little music box, no wait.. uhm.. I-pod? Yeah, the I-pod was a gift my brother gave me for my birthday this year.
After about three songs my nervous jitters had calmed down a bit and curiosity took over. I started looking out of the glass and thinking about what kind of other human things I would encounter, because so far I mostly liked everything I've seen. I was shaken from my thoughts when the buss took a turn and slowed down, eventually stopping altogether. The bus man gave me heads up that this was my stop so I hurriedly grabbed my everything and got out the vehicle after thanking him.
