It started out like a normal day. Then everyone gave me this look when I walked into school. The hatred in their eyes made me wonder what I did to all of them, and what they might do to me.
When the bell rings, and everyone stops scowling at me, I go to home room. I sit where I normally would. Right next to me is my best friend, Drake. He has straight brown hair and dark brown eyes that can be intimidating at times. Let's just say you don't want to be on his bad side. "Case" he says " everyone hates you because of something I told them." Then I stop right in the middle of a step. My BEST FRIEND is the reason why I'm getting hate vibes? I think to myself as he continues "I told everyone that you cheated on your girlfriend." I stare at him blankly, "WHAT GIRLFRIEND?!" I blurt. "I also told everyone you have a girlfriend." He adds. "Who would want to date me!?" I exasperate. He gives me a look like he wants to say but doesn't want to be the one who does. "I only told them that so I could tell you the truth about yourself.... you..... are...... a shapeshifter." Then I couldn't help but laugh. I finally calmed down to ask "Are you drunk? I know we're only twelve, but you seem like you are." He stares at me for a couple of seconds, then breaks the silence with "You really don't believe me? You can shape shift into any animal you think of. Think of a dog." So I automatically think he is crazy, but if I don't do it, he won't be my friend. I think of a dog. I close my eyes and think of a shaggy golden retriever with floppy ears and a brown nose. Then I open my eyes and I am now closer to the ground. I look at my hands, but I don't see hands, I see.... Paws with golden brown fur. Then I close my eyes again and think of a human. I pass out from shock or fear. Probably both.
