so hey y'all, I've decided to post this even tho it doesn't have 10 votes because this story doesn't have much of an audience at this point and I guess I can't expect too much from you guys. ENJOYYYY

I made it halfway through the day, all the way to lunch, without anything weird happening. It's a record!

People stared at us in class, either with envy or curiosity. The people here have two personality types, I've learned. Jelly like Kelly, or Annoyingly Curious.

We've literally all been hammered with questions all morning.

I meet up with Britain and Coen at my locker on the way to lunch, exchanging my notebook for a different one.

We walk to lunch laughing and talking. Once we reach the cafe, all eyes turn to us. I roll my own and walk further into the room. Squaring my shoulders, I walk over to the rest of the morphers that are seniors.

They smile at me as I sit down, making room for the new people.

I grin right back and proceed to ask how everything has gone so far.

Adonia, a leopard shifter with dark brown hair and green eyes, answers first.
"I don't know what these kids problem is, but they stare. Non. Stop. They can't take their eyes off of us for more than two seconds. There's only a month of school left. Why can't they just get through it without oggling us the entire time?" She rolls her eyes, earning a laugh from me.

"I agree, Don. But this is a small town and they probably aren't used to new kids, especially this many." I inhale deeply. "So has anything important happened? Did anyone give you guys a hard time? Besides the staring?" I ask, my eyes asking them to tell me everything.

They all look around at eachother and shrug. Good, I think. As long as my people are okay, I'm okay.

My train of thought is pushed roughly off its track when I feel hands grip my shoulders from behind. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not normally jumpy or over excited. However, I spun around quickly after jumping a few feet and came face to stomach with Manson.

I breathe out a sigh and turn back around, leaning into his hands. Manson chuckles as I do so, turning me around so I'm facing him again.

I'm so tired already and the day is only halfway done. I don't bother to fight him on it.

He's surrounded by his friends, Reese, Kade and Matt. I open my mouth to greet them when one of my morphers speaks.

It's a girl named Antheia, who's a giraffe morpher.

"Did you know that one of the anagrams for all of your names together is the phrase; 'Teased Meercat.'?"

They sit there stunned for a second, the rest of us sort of unsurprised. My mouth opens and closes, trying to find an explanation to feed the boys.

"That would explain Reese's animalistic need to mate and his raging hard on all the time!" Matt shouts, slapping his knees while he laughs hysterically.

Oh my god. I honestly don't even know what to say. I sit there with my eyes wide and my mouth ajar for a second and then my shoulders start shaking with laughter. I can't believe he said that.

Ignoring the comment, Antheia starts talking again.

"And Brielle's is 'A Beetle's Urinal'."
My jaw drops again and this time everyone starts laughing. I blink once. Twice. And then I laugh hysterically with them.
