Alec's POV:

Today's the day.
"Tail... Check"
"Ears... Check"
"Snoot... Check"
"Backpack... ready."
"I'm all ready to go!" I said, looking over to Chase as we stood on the port.
Yes, that's right, I'm going to school without my baggy clothes.
I am ready.
"You sure you wanna do this now?" Chase asks.
I nod, "The sooner, the better." "Makes me less paranoid."
"Well, whatever floats your boat." He replied.

I had called Uncle Collen last night before I went to bed.
He was happy but also nervous for me.
That night, I also asked him about the "others," to which he replied with a guilty summary of his research.
Oh boy, there were a lot of things that he heard from me and my family.
He said he kept it classified so that it wouldn't be a bother to us, which I seemed to understand.
After that, he told me he would notify the principal about my condition for safety reasons.
After that, we said our goodnights, and after sleeping, here I was, standing on the porch wearing deep blue jeans that had a hole in the back for my tail.
It was paired with a white shirt that has a slightly grey tint and some modified black sneakers.
I never mentioned this before, but wearing normal sneakers - which I normally did in public - was incredibly tight and irritating.
So there was one plus of being free from the concealing clothes. ("Bro, why aren't you wearing boots or something else instead?", "Stupid..." - Calaxi)

I suddenly sneezed.
"Bless you... you alright?" Chase asked.
"Yeah... maybe someone is mocking me..." I said, recalling that one cliche that when someone speaks about you somewhere in the world, you sneeze.
"Don't be stupid, that doesn't happen," Noah said as he came out the door, followed by Blake.
Blake just kept his distance.
Weird.
"Whatever you say dickhead." I said while wiping my nose.
I got a punch in the arm.
"Ow!" "Hey!" I yelled.
Noah ignored my whining, "I call shotgun!" He said, running toward the car.

If you're wondering, I'm going to school with the four this time.
I'm going to be sitting in the middle row with Chase and Blake.
Zeno agreed that Chase would be the one who would watch over me but was a little skeptical at first.
Honestly, I don't blame him.
A small person like me is going on a car ride with four jocks.
Not to mention that 3 of them are and were my bullies.
"Were" because Chase is now my friend.
For Noah...
He has been acting weird since last night.
Instead of his usual routine of calling me names harshly at times, he has been more.... tame.
He instead is more of playfully teasing me at times.
And Blake has just been quiet.

After Zack exited and locked the house, we all headed towards the car.
Zack went to the driver's seat, Noah called shotgun, so he sat there, Blake sat behind the driver's seat, and Chase sat behind Noah.
That meant I was sandwiched between Chase and Blake.
Kind of awkward, to be honest.
I shifted away from Blake.
But that means I have to be very Close to Chase.
At this point, I can feel his body heat radiating from his... hot...
I shook my head.
Is my mind betraying me or something?

I shifted slightly away.
After about 20 minutes, we reached the school.
Immediately after I exited the car after everyone else except Zack, I was already grabbing attention from the passing students who were hurrying into the school building.
There were whispers and gasps coming from the passersby.
It was nearing 7 o'clock, and the four of us rushed towards our respective classes.
Most of my classmates for the first period were already in Ms. Dove's room.
So it was going to be a surprise for them when I entered.

Chase was not far behind since we shared the same class in the first period.
He entered first, and I followed.
A few gasps were going around, and then the whispers started.
I sensed one of them was faking it, but I wasn't sure who it was. (Keep your game up, Izac! - Calaxi)
I looked at the teacher; she seemed bewildered.
"Um... excuse me..." She said, taking a step back, "Who are you, and why are you wearing a costume." "Halloween is next month."
"Oh.. sorry, Ms. Dove..." I answer, "I guess the principal hasn't told you..."
"Wait. Alec.." She said in shock as she recognized my voice.
