My Story as a Horse Shifter [#1]

Chapter 10

What do I say? What do I say? Phew, you got this girl. Just breathe.

I heard a deep voice pick up. 

"Hello? Who is this?"

"Hey, Maximus! It's Melody from today. You gave me your number remember?"

"I don't think I'd ever forget that. Well hello again, glad you called," Maximus replied.

Then, I realized that tomorrow was Monday.

Oh no, I'm gonna be at school for the final shifting process!

"Yeah I know. That's gonna be really complicated. I can cover for you. Leave it all to me," he said, kindly.

"Oh my gosh. You just read my mind didn't you?" I said, surprised.

"Yup," he said, playfully. "I have you for your history class, if I remember correctly."

"No way, really?" I asked, slightly embarrassed.

"Yeah, I don't blame you for not noticing. I usually sit at the back of the class," he said, laughing.

I'd always at the front of the class, not just so I could pay attention but also because I wanted to actually see the teacher. 

"Maybe we should sit together tomorrow then," I suggested.

"Oh, sit together huh? Already?" he teased.

"Oh shush," I said, feeling myself blush.

He laughed on the other line.

"It's just so that you can keep an eye on me. You know more about horse shifters than me so it's easier this way," I continued.

"I know, I know. Don't worry about it, okay? I'll be there to help," he said, a more caring tone coming from him.

"Well, thank you. It was nice talking to you! I should get some sleep now," I said.

"Goodnight, Melody. See ya in history tomorrow," he said, softly.

"Goodnight."

I went to sleep the minute I hit the pillow.

I woke up at 6:30 am to take a shower, get ready, eat breakfast, and go to school. My mom was driving me today so I sat in the car, patiently waiting until we got there.

When we did, my mom gave me my book bag and said, "Okay sweetie, I'll see you when I pick you up!"

"Okay mom, thanks for everything. I love you!" I said, smiling at her.

She got in the car and drove off. I quickly ran to reach my first class: World History. I opened the door and headed to my usual seat, realizing Maximus was in the seat next to it.

I took a deep breath a sat down.

"Hey Melody," Maximus greeted me.

"Hi Maximus. Oh hey, can I call you Max?" I asked.

"Oh, I don't mind at all. Can I call you Mel then?" he asked, smiling at me.

"Mel? I like it," I said, smiling back.

We talked for a few more minutes until Mr. Martinez came into the room with a smile on his face as always.

"Good morning, class!" he said happily.

"Good morning, Mr. Martinez."

"Today, we will start a new chapter so take out a sheet of paper, a pencil, an eraser, and your highlighter."

Everyone groaned but I just did as I was told.

"Write down everything you see on the board. Today's notes are going to be a bit long."

Again, many people groaned. I still stayed silent. He gave us the notes that we had to jot down. We were learning about the American Revolution.

After, we finished writing our notes, he said, "Now, open your books to page 447."
