Connor's pov

As the song ends, I look over at Zoe, Louise and Tyler who look awestruck.

"I...is there something wrong? W.....was it not good?" I stutter terrified that I had just made a fool of myself.

"No absolutely not. That was amazing Connor. Where did you learn to dance like that?" Zoe says, smiling.

"My sister Nicola taught me. She always wanted a little sister that she could teach to dance or do girly things with. And I love doing those kind of things with her." I say sitting crossed legged on the floor.

I sit back against the wall while Zoe starts dancing. I watch her as she loses her balance and falls to the floor.

Both Tyler and I run over to her and help her up. Her knees and hands are red from where they made contact with the floor.

"Sorry guys, I don't know what happened." She says right before tears start streaming down her face.

I hold her close and rock her gently, like Nicola used to rock me when I fell. She sobs gently into my shirt and I hug her mumbling that's it's alright.

A few minutes pass and Zoe has calmed down. I help her up and collect her phone from the speakers. I hand it to her and she thanks me.

"If you want help perfecting that move, I would love to help." I say picking up my bag and changing my shoes.

"Thanks Con." She says changing her shoes as well. We all leave the studio locking the door behind us. We walk back toward the dorms when I suddenly hear laughter.

Troye and his friends suddenly turn the corner. I stare at Tyler whose jaw is clenched and his fists are curled up.

"Loving the new hair Oakley." Troye cackles. I look at Phil who is also laughing but Dan seems to be, I don't know, almost scared.

Troye looks directly at me and smiles. "You're Connor right? You should come sit with us for lunch one day instead of these idiots." He says before him and his friends walk away.

I stand there for a few seconds, my mouth wide in awe. He really said that, to me? This isn't happening.

Ha why would he say that to you?
Nobody could possibly like you!
You're fat and ugly!
You're worthless!

"Stop!" I shout falling onto my knees. I feel a set of arms around me but I don't look, I can't look.

"Connor? It's Zoe. Everyone else is gone." She says softly holding me like I held her.

"I'm sorry. It's just these voices. These strange voices inside my head that scream. Whenever something good happens, they start screaming!" I say trying to compose myself.

After an hour of sitting and talking we both head back to our rooms. I unlock the door and push it open to see Tyler having a deep conversation on the phone.

I sit on my bed and look over at my backpack which is sat on top of my desk. I grab it and open it and see my white kitten ears neatly inside.

I shouldn't. I think to myself. It's weird. I'm a freak if I do. I can't do it.

I run my fingers of the soft fluffy material of the ears. When suddenly my bag is grabbed from my hands. I look up to see Tyler now holding my ears and tail in his hand.

"You're a kitten?" He asks. I nod shyly. "I'm a Dom. Don't worry." He adds. I relax and smile.

"Quite a few people here are Doms. Phil is Dan's Dom and Hannah is Lily's dom. And Troye is a Dom too. No one here is gonna judge you." He says handing me back the items he took. I place my backpack on the bed and put the items into it.

"So how long have you been into kitten play?" Tyler asks sitting down again.

"Since I was 15. I've been in a few relationships been in a few relationships but none of them made me 100% happy. So I've left it a few years until I thought that I was ready to commit to someone." I say running my fingers softly over the material.

Tyler takes the ears from my hand and places them onto my head. I smile and instantly relax. My ears, they make me feel safe and protected.

"How long have you been a stray?" Tyler asks pulling me out of my daydream.

"Just over two years. I've thought about going the protector route but I never found anyone who is comfortable with kitten play to do that with." I mumble.

"I am a Dom to another student here Korey. I've been his master and daddy for just over a year. I have been a protector as well so if you were every thinking about it again, I am always here." He says smiling.

I smile to him and giggle.

Shorter chapter. I'm sorry. Life kinda sucks
