A sixteen year old human named Leon is a great smart child since he does great in school he didn't have any friends since everyone treats him badly since he's a nerd. One day he was walking to school and acticidentaly got ran over by a car. He then...
"The black market. That's where it is." Aoba says.
"Oh boy, look at all that meat for sale." Bill says with excitement.
"Do you hear yourself right now?" Legoshi asked.
"So what? We should treat ourselves with something special." Bill says.
"You are so wrong. Don't you know we need to prove that we should learn to get along with herbivores?" Legoshi asked.
"Nothing can change who we are, Legoshi. We need to be who we carnivores are to control ourselves. You need to grow up, you know?" Bill says spitefully.
"You are the one that needs to grow up." Legoshi says back.
"Why won't you understand?! I'm getting something good, and it taste—-
Slap!!!!!
Bill didn't finish as Legoshi gave him a good slap in the face.
"What the fuck was that for?!" Bill shouted.
"You need to get a hold of yourself!" Legoshi shouted.
"You want to fight again?! I will make sure I'll kick your ass right this time!" Bill shouted as he got in Legoshi's face.
"Both of you stop! Fighting never solves anything!" Leon shouted as he got in between them.
"Look, how about we just go back to Cherryton and forget this." Leon suggested.
"No Leon, this is a one time opportunity to have some real meat. I bet you want some too." Bill says.
Bill wasn't wrong, Leon really wanted some meat and he started eyeballing a freshly cut T-bone steak on display and couldn't stand the lack of protein he's dealing with. But he didn't want to upset his friend Legoshi either so he had to disagree with Bill.
"Even if I want to. I would rather starve to death." Leon says.
"Leon, don't be like this guy. Carnivores need to eat sometime, even an omnivore like you." Bill says.
Leon's stomach started to grumble and started to feel weak with the lack of protein in his body.
"Bill, stop it. No need to peer pressure him." Aoba butts in.
"Come on, Leon needs to learn about this. And Legoshi needs to grow up."
"You know what?! I am grown up!" Legoshi shouted as he ran into the black market.
"Legoshi! Wait!" Leon shouted as he was about to go after him, but Aoba stopped him.
"Let him go. He'll be fine." Aoba says as he grabs his shoulder.
Leon almost lost his balance,but Aoba caught him.
"What's with you? Have you been drinking or something?" Bill asked.
"He never drank anything." Aoba says and notices something.
He noticed that Leon's stomach was really thin and felt his ribs easily.
"Leon, have you not eaten anything?" Aoba asked with concern.
"No.... Tired of eating fake meat from the cafeteria, and I have no money for anything." Leon explains as he starts to faint.
"Hey Leon. Stay awake bud. Guys we better head back. But we need to get Legoshi." Aoba suggested.
"Legoshi will be fine. We need to get Leon back now." Bill says as he helped Leon move back to the subway station back to Cherryton but Aoba decided to stay and wait for Legoshi to catch up later.
The next morning, Leon woke up with a good scent of a cooked steak with cooked green beans and peas on a plate that the wolf nurse kindly gave to him.
"Your friends told me what was going on. You better eat up since your body needs protein." She says before she leaves the room.
Leon looked at his plate and didn't hesitate as he started cutting a piece and started eating it and really missed the flavor of good steak like the kind that he and his father used to make in the human world.
He thought about how worried his family is right now of not being home for months. He still barely remembers the last moments in the human world of getting run over by a truck.
Just after he finished eating his steak and was finally checked out of the nurses office. He was about to head back to the dorms, but then he saw Juno reading a book outside of the courtyard and decided to say hi to her since he wanted to know her.
"Hey Juno." Leon says as he sits next to her on the bench.
"Oh hey Leon, you doing alright?" Juno asked.
"Yeah, it's just hard to find good food these days now since I'm not used to how things are in this kind of society." Leon explains.
"You should try these egg sandwiches from the school store. They are good in proteins." She says as she gave him one.
"I wish I could buy stuff but the problem is that I have no money at all." He says as he takes a bite and likes the goodness of flavor.
"There are some job opportunities here. The school store does need some people to work after school hours." Juno suggested as she scooted closer to him.
"That's not a bad idea. I should sign up for that." Leon said as he finished his egg sandwich.
"By the way, are you busy after school?" He asked.
"Not really. Just going to relax in the dorm tonight and study. Just joined the drama club." Juno explains.
"You too? I'm currently a crew member, which reminds me about the meteor festival project. I had to help Dom and Legoshi with that." Leon explains.
"Oh cool. I just joined the cast member group." She added.
"Lucky. Louis did want me to join the cast, but wasn't sure yet since I'm not really good at acting." Leon says.
"Well, I bet you will do well on it." Juno says with a smile.
"Thanks. So you want to hang and watch the sundown tonight?" Leon asked.
"Sure. I'll be glad, Leon." She said as she followed him.
Meanwhile, Legoshi woke up chained up and his muzzle sealed closed by a mask.
"Where am I?" He thought.
"Looks like you are finally awake, kid." A panda says as he comes into the room.
