Scott Pov
I trudged down the slick sidewalk, my shivering wings tucked tightly behind my back. I glanced up to make sure I was walking straight and saw others with their wings tucked back, walking across campus.
I'm in college and I study actual human life. See, I am one of the many magical creatures living in Archkamia. I had just tucked my head back into my jacket when I felt a hard force hit into my side, knocking me over. I let out a grunt and my textbook slid across the ice, me sliding down behind it too.
I flung my wings out to try and cushion my fall, but that didn't work, at all. Once I finished sliding I looked up and saw a very large dog standing above me.
"Oh my gosh, I am so sorry Scott!" My best friend Kirstie came running over and helped me up. She also picked my book up and handed it to me.
"I see you brought Olaf out for a walk." I petted the dog, which came up to just under my armpit.
"Bad idea." She giggled. I nodded and shook the snow from my wings. She tilted the witch hat that set atop her head and smiled.
"Where is Avi at?"
"He had to leave Archkamia for a little bit."
"Oh okay, but I gotta head out, we're leaving Archkamia to go study human life and I gotta make sure I get a potion to hide my wings."
"Okay, have fun and tell me all about it when you get back!"
I nodded and walked off to the class. I walked in and sat down in my seat. Soon the professor walked out. Professor Goodwin, he was a lot younger then the others but he knew what he was doing.
I shook the snow off and the last few people slid into the room.
"Okay everyone sit down we'll get potions sorted out in just a moment, fill your book bags with the things on your desks please."
I looked down and saw a new book and something I didn't recognize. I slid them both into my bag. I took my heavy jacket off leaving me in just a sweatshirt and jeans, because humans wear that on a daily basis.
"Make sure your heavy jackets are off too, its warmer where we are going." I slung my book bag back over my shoulders already ready.
"Okay, people with wings come here I have your potions." I stood up and got my potion from him.
"Thank you Professor Goodwin."
"Mhm."
Then a smaller woman peeked out of the door way. She has beautiful deer ears and small antlers on her head. Only about four points.
"Pssst! Peter!" He looked up and smiled.
"What do ya need sweetie?" She smiled and walked in, her small tail peeking from the top of her pants.
"I need to come with your class today on the bus out."
"Okay, you could help to, you know more then me about the outside anyways." He smiled softly.
"Thank you, I already have my bag." She smiled and hugged his side. She gave him a quick kiss on the lips before trotting outside, her boots clicking on the floor.
He continued handing out potions and I slipped mine into my sweatshirt pocket. I slipped my book bag over my shoulders and soon Professor Goodwin was ushering people outside and onto the bus. Once I made it into my seat I arranged my wings comfortably and sat back.
Once we finally made it into the city I took a small swig of my potion and watched my wings disappear in the reflection of the window. I could still feel them though. We grabbed our bags and spilled off of the bus eagerly.
