Smiling Students (Poppy Playtime HS AU)

Chapter 1 ☁️

(Dogday's POV)

I had been sleeping in bed comfortably, hugging my blankets as my tail subconsciously patted against the bed frame softly.

Suddenly, my alarm from my phone went off, jolting me up as I freaked out for a second, yet almost immediately calming down as I shut the alarm off and stared at the wall blankly.

I looked at the time and realized I had an hour to get ready for school, I groaned as I realized today was the first day of 11th grade, me and all of my friends unfortunately didn't pass last year, so we had to repeat this year... Stupid...

I got up from bed as I subconsciously walked to the bathroom, turning the shower crank to the maximum as I looked at myself in the mirror, letting the water heat up.

I got undressed as I threw my pajamas on the sink counter, it was embarrassing to still wear pajamas, but you have to admit, they're comfortable, don't lie.

I stepped into the shower as lukewarm water coated my entire body, making me shiver, unintentionally whining a bit as I only liked warm water when showering.

The water eventually got warmer as I sighed in relief, letting the water get to somewhat burning temperatures before turning the crank downwards a bit.

I got the temperature of the water just right as I tiredly bathed myself, using some vanilla scented shampoo as I scrubbed my fur, letting my body intentionally soak in the water for longer than it should have.

I eventually snapped out of my trance as I washed off the shampoo and turned the water off after a few minutes of showering, stepping out and drying off with a towel.

I wiped my foggy mirror with my hand as I stared at myself, giggling a bit when I saw my puffed up fur, I looked so ridiculous...

I brushed down my fur to look the best I could, picking up my pajamas and throwing them into a laundry basket as I searched for some actual clothes.

I decided on some flexible pants and a dark orange sweatshirt, putting on a leaf green cap as I checked myself out in the bathroom mirror.

I decided I looked really good, and I made my way downstairs as I searched inside my fridge for something to eat.

I decided that nothing really looked that good, so I picked up a breakfast bar that I had in my cupboard, eating it quickly as I still had a good 40 minutes until I actually needed to get going.

I booted up my PlayStation as I laid on the couch and decided to just play UFC 4, I enjoyed fighting games, and this one was genuinely realistic, unlike WWE...

I swear, last time I played that, The Undertaker grabbed me from halfway across the ring, I haven't played since.

I spent some time playing the story mode as I fought countless battles and managed a bunch of other stuff in the game.

I checked my phone and realized 30 minutes had passed, I mentally panicked and shut off my PlayStation as I rushed out the door.

I grabbed my car keys from the key hanger beside the door, rushing to my dark orange hellcat and putting the thing into reverse, backing out of my driveway and almost speeding off into the distance.

In around 20 minutes, I made it to the parking lot and parked somewhere close to the school grounds as I got out of my car and got my stuff, putting my keys in my bag and taking my bag with me.

I walked into the building as I searched for my schedule and realized my homeroom class was a couple rooms down the hall I was facing.

I made my way down the hallway as a bunch of people passed by me, minding their own business and doing their own things.

I had made it to my homeroom class as I sat down, but when I looked to my left I saw that I had accidentally sat right next to my friend group, who noticed me almost immediately.

"Hey, what's up, Dogday?! We got the same homeroom dude!" Kicken exclaimed as we both... Dapped up...? I think that's what he calls it...

"Hi, Dogday! Glad you're here too!" Crafty stated, shaking my hand as she went back to talking with Bobby.

A bunch of my other friends greeted me as I felt pretty good, and then the teacher spoke, finally starting the day for real.

"Class, I know that everybody here is new, but we have 2 new students coming in, they both come from a different district, so please welcome them!" The teacher asked politely as 2 figures stepped into the doorframe.

They appeared to consist of a well built, tall, purple feline, wearing a dark purple hoodie, and dark sweatpants, and an almost same height, cat person that looked to be a type of human and cat combined.

Although the cat person seemed to look.... A little deranged as he held his head in one of his hands, keeping an eye on the purple cat as they both sat down beside us.

"And before they settle in, they need to make a statement, you have the floor, sir." The teacher stated as the purple cat stood up before clearing his throat.

"Hey, my name's Catnap, and this is Neko." Catnap pointed his hand to Neko who stayed seated.

"I just need to make this announcement, informing you all that Neko over here, isn't that... Well in the head at the moment, he's very mentally deranged, and will break at the slightest inconvenience, so please don't anger him." Catnap explained as he bowed his head slightly and sat back down.

Oh man, now THAT is a start to a school day, being informed that one of the students is a psychopath, that's nice...
