Nordlys Fjord Academy: Human-mild to Animal-wild

Roommates (Wild Cats)

*3rd face PoV*
The duo finally entered their rooms. Leiah's one was the room 5. Gunnar stepped to the room 9. The majority of rooms were designed for two persons, so did the ones for our heroes.

*Leiah's PoV*
When we left Stephany, I was a little sad. Hope I'll see her again. But I know I will, so anyways- no sadness! I have to see my roommate.

I opened the door. A girl with light brown hair and hazel eyes looked at me. Perhaps she was a bit older than me... 13 or 14 years old. She was reading a book, and then turned to me.

"Hello!" I waved her.

"Hi! What's your name again... sorry, I forgot it," a girl asked me a bit carefully. She looked overall cute, dressed in her olive-colored sweater.

"Oh, I'm Leiah. It's ok, and you?"

"I'm Astrid Snostorm. Nice to meet you!"

"Oh, are you reading Harry Potter?" I asked.

"Yeah, I do! I love it," Astrid answered.

I looked over. "Philosopher's stone... So you only now started reading..."

"You're right. I only recently learned to read. I lived in my animal form most of the time," she explained, "but as my mom got killed... well,"

Oh! We shared almost the same fate? I hated sharing what happened to me and my parents, but I felt like she was the right person.

"I lived in both, but my parents were killed in the forest, so I had to live in my animal form for a long time. And then my aunt adoped me... well, she is strict so I'm hiding from her. But that's a secret, ok?"

"I promise I'll keep it... I feel what you feel," Astrid promised me. She was so understanding!

"By the way, what's your animal form?" I asked, quickly forgetting my past. I didn't remember what did she turn into on the lesson. But some kind of feline, no doubt.

"Lynx," she answered. I wasn't a type of dog that hates felines, so anyways I wasn't bothered.

"And you are dog, right? I remember how you shifted on transformation lesson."

"Yes, you're correct. A red doberman pincher!" I always felt some kind of pride when I was talking about my second form.

We were talking and talking and talking. At the end, we turned on TV and watched some movies.

I was getting sleepy. As we sat on my new bed, I turned into a doberman and curled. Astrid looked at me and did the same- I saw a petite lynx laying nearby me.

We cuddled and played in our pile of clothes.

*Gunnar's PoV*
I stepped in. I was anxious- what if my roommate is hostile? Or a bad guy? I don't want to make my mother sad- she wasn't worth it.

A guy was quietly snoring on his bed. He had curly light brown hair and was approximately 15 years old. There was a dream catcher beside his place.

I stepped. One, two... one more step and I'll be on my new bed. I made a third step, and my roommate woke up.

I froze in place. Not now! I should...

"Um, hey, what's your name?" he asked me.

"I-I-'m Gunnar... Estlund..." I said quietly in fear.

"Oh... I remember ya. On today's lessons. Are you this unicorn dolphin bro?"

"Kind of... a narwhal..."

"I see. I am Bill Arton."

We went quiet. I turned around to unpack my backpack, and it was my biggest mistake. Something large carefully scraped my back and I fell with a loud thump.
