A Human in a New World 2(rewrite): The Start of a New Life

Chapter 2: The Dorm Room, and a New School

By the time we got done packing, it was nighttime, and though Sarah had gone to bed already, I was still awake. Though nervous about the next day, it wasn't the only thing on my mind. As I was imagining what this school would be like, I then remembered about the secret I kept. When I thought about it some more, I realized I never really explained what it was to those who knew about it. I shared that it was a project and I was experimented on but beyond that, that was it. Though that wasn't my concern, it was the fact of them finding out what it truly was or worse for the entire world to know.

Though if I just kept it cool, and don't use my abilities at all, then no one will know. Nonetheless, I looked up to the night sky, taking in the beautiful sight of the milky way. It never got old to look up at the stars and it was more beautiful now than it was so long ago. Most likely due to us being in a forest where the air is quite pure. Seeing that, I soon yawned indicating I should go to bed. Not wasting anytime I stretched before making myself cozy in the bed and falling asleep.

After that, the morning was a bit hectic with me and Sarah scrambling to get the last things we needed and then we were off. Leaving the place felt strange, as I had been in the Forest Lab, as Sarah called it, for most of my time since I woke up from the stasis pod. Looking out the window and into the forest, I saw the trees fly past as we got onto the highway.

As minutes turned to hours, I would simply let my mind wander, wondering about this school I would be attending. I was never one to enjoy school, though I worked hard to get good grades, yet this was different. With me attending, I would be watched and most likely judged. Knowing that, I would have to put in extra work to be friendly and hopefully make a few friends.

Though something seemed off though, and when I say that I don't mean the school or Sophie or anyone. It just seems odd that I would be put in a school without ever meeting with the government face to face, though it wouldn't be surprising to hear that Sophie pushed hard to get me in school. Nonetheless, I looked at the bright side of being able to learn more about this new world and having the opportunity to answer questions about humans. It made me smile a little to have at least a fraction of normality back yet despite the thought of being seen as someone that can be trusted there was something on my mind that had worried me.

Over the past month or so, a concern had grown on me that I felt uncomfortable with. Mainly being that despite Sarah's kindness and desire to help me, I feel our relationship had grown far beyond than just friends. Now that doesn't seem bad at all, till you take into consideration that I am used to the whole dating thing. You know like date a gal and see if she is the one to create deeper feelings with. I always enjoyed that but that never happened and now the question of could a human truly aid in bringing a child into the world with an anthro possible, would come to mind often.

I felt truly uncomfortable and it would make me feel anxious to say the least. Yet despite what answers I gave, they never died down. Though despite what I did to reduce the anxiety this situation gave me, I was afraid to tell Sarah, as I worried that things wouldn't go well. I like her and always will but I truly felt it was going way too fast and that I wasn't ready to go down the path I know she wants to go down. Physically I could possibly do it, but mentally I wasn't there yet. Despite what others say, I had a bit of depression, mainly a longing to have others like me being around. Even a wish to see my own family again had ached my heart.

Yet my dilemma was speaking to Sarah, as I said before, I don't wish for it to go South, though I knew I had to at some point. Though the ride provided the opportunity, I was nervous and didn't feel it was the right time, soon closing my eyes and drifting to sleep. I slept soundly for the drive and when I awoke, I soon saw we were where we were meeting Sophie. Yawning and rubbing my eyes, I looked around, seeing we were in a parking lot, in the middle of what seemed to be a city, based off of the skyscrapers in the distance.
