Ren pov

I looked him up and down. He was about 5 feet tall, dainty looking which made sense, and had cute redish orange ears poking up that matched his hair paired with a twitching tail flowing behind him. His eyes were a twinkling warm yellow, darting around the class as he walked to his aforementioned seat assigned by the teacher. I wasn't the only one looking at him. Girls were gossiping and guys were pointing. Werewolves are generally all bi because rejecting your mate because of their gender would be pretty stupid. Some werewolves disagree, but most just hope to find a mate that they could love and be loved by. And by the looks he was getting from my classmates, I think they were hoping to get lucky. He seemed friendly and successful, and he looked cute and feminine. Anyone could settle for that. As soon as he sat down, girls mobbed him and started interogating him. I was an unlucky sacrifice for his popularity I thought as I was crowded and ignored. Sitting next to him so far didn't show any perks. Eventually, the bell rang signalling the end of homeroom and the inevitable journey to my first class.

"Um...is anyone in first period AP chem?"

Ah, unfortunately I was not in his first class to save him from the suffocating mob of females.

I strolled out of the class catching a glimpse of his mildly distressed face before I left for my drama class. Once I arrived, I was immediately bombarded by my friend, Daisy.

"Omg did you hear there is a new kid, I saw him this morning, he's so cute, a neko??? How? have you seen him? I want to cuddle him so bad and...."

"Kindly stop and breathe while I make you jealous by informing you that he sits next to me in homeroom."

"WHAT! Lucky you~ I know he is totally your type, I will slap you if you deny it."

"Ugh but every guy in my class who was interested was practically undressing him in there with their eyes. There is no way he would see me any differently."

"Well were you?"

"Was I what?"

"Eye raping him you idiot! Were you giving him a reason to lump you in with everyone else?"

"What! No you know I wouldn't be like that. I would never take advantage of a single redish orange hair on his head."

"Scarlet Vermillion"

"What are you going on about?"

"His hair is clearly scarlet vermillion not any color 'ish'. If you want me to back down and let you persue him, don't be so dense."

"Fine I get your point I will be careful, but I refuse to accept your obsession as my own and memorize color palletes."

"Hmfph, I'll take it."

In drama my favorite teacher was dicussing the class syllabus for the year, even though everyone had been here for at least 3 semesters. This year we were studying and performing Shakespeare's works. My personal favorite Shakespeare play was Merchant of Venice. I liked the light comedies better than the depressing tradgedies.

My next couple classes were fairly uneventful in comparison. I still hadn't had a class with Luciase. Bummer. I read down my schedule to see I had AP Calculus next. Yikes, I applied for AP but I might have bitten off more than I could chew in the spur of the moment. I saw Luciase talking to someone next to their locker.

"Hey you what class do you have next?"

I hadn't specified who I was asking so the two people in the general direction of my shout by the locker answered together.

"AP Calc" "AP Calculus"

Great, Luciase was finally in one of my classes! I walked towards him to look who had also answered. The person Luciase was leaning over and who was closing their locker to go to AP Calc with us was.The school buzz himself, little neko Mika. I didn't know how to feel about the situation. Did I want to have classes with him or  did I want to avoid the chaos? And Luciase was leaning over him at his locker?

"Hey, you were in my homeroom, what's your name?"

"Oh, I'm Ren and this is my friend Luciase."

He giggled and looked at my friend and Luciase's eyes shined back down at his enthusiasm.

"I already know Lucia-kun~ We have had the last few classes together already!"

I looked at Luciase questioningly

"Ha ha, don't worry about it Ren, it's a long story."

"Really Lucia-kun, it isn't a long story. I just accidentally called you that after I felt we were close enough to be considered friends on instinct. I'm a little embarrassed."

He smiled up at Luciase who shifted uncomfortably. Did he get stuck with him? Or did he get stuck with me in this class?

Mika decided to sit in the very front and center of the class when we entered. He happily plopped his stuff down and we sat on either side of him. Desks that sit three. Lucky us. Did I want to sit with Mika or Luciase in the more likely event that there had been two to a desk?

"Hey little kitten are you flexible? Mika~"

Some jerk was taking advantage of the fact that the teacher hadn't arrived to mess with the new kid.

"Um, yes I've danced, and more recently professionally, basically my entire life. You can't get around the need for flexibility for most technical moves."

I was so pissed. He was too innocent for these idiotic highschool boys to be picking on. He was a senior wasn't he?

"Hey back off Ian. Mika isn't looking to whore around like you on his first day."

"Chill out Luciase it was just a harmless joke dude."

"As if..."

Ian was looking back in forth to the three of us devilishly but eventually backed down. Why didn't I stand up for Mika? Mika muttered a red faced thanks to Luciase. He looked fearfully away from Ian and enemies and nervously grabbed 'Lucia-kun's' hand. He wouldn't pick up his gaze from the floor for the rest of class, but held on to my best friends hand tightly under the desk for the entire lecture. Why was I getting so jealous!
