"wake the actual fuck up kid"

I was startled awake by my brother who, I assume, got fed up listening to my alarm and decided to wake me up himself. I crawled out from under the covers and threw on my outfit (last chapter). I take a look in the small mirror on my desk, noting my messy hair and pissy look. flipping off my reflection, I grabbed my bag before making my way upstairs.  I was greeted with a chorus of " morning puppy" before I grabbed a piece of toast and my lunch. "have a good day puppy. and be good" "yes papa I will" I hugged everyone goodbye before leaving and making my way to school. I trudged along hearing nothing but the music I blasted in my ears. my tail swinging happily to the beat of my step. before I know it I make it to the front entrance of the school where everyone seemed to be waiting for the day to start. students all huddled together chatting away while some gave me looks and stares. I paid no mind not paying attention which caused me to run into a broad shoulder knocking me back. I opened my eyes and looked up to see two boys. one a taller and slightly thinner boy with blonde slicked-back hair wearing an orange button-up and carrying a sword strapped to his belt. the other was a slightly shorter brunette, still quite tall compared to myself. he was dressed in a forest green shirt carrying a rope and a shovel. 

"oh sorry there love," the blonde said extending his hand to me which I gladly accepted. now that I was up on my own two feet I brushed all the snow off me and offered a soft smile. "thanks and sorry, I wasn't paying attention." " nonsense it's fine. say I haven't seen you around before what's your name?" "oh um my name is Lupa, Lupa puer. I just moved here" "ah well welcome to south park Lupa. my name is Gregory of yard dale,  and this here is my friend Christophe." Christophe only grunted blowing a puff of smoke to which I gave a shy wave. "It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." "The pleasure is all mine really." " you said you were new here right? well I'm sure we could be your guide for the day." "Really? I wouldn't want to bother you" oh great now he's being nice. I'm not very good when it comes to new people so I was both grateful and worried about hanging out with them. "sure it's no problem" after that bell rang. I gave out a sigh knowing I couldn't and probably shouldn't back out so I follow the two inside.

I had assigned it to my class after talking with the PC principal. it went well and as I walked with the two boys to class I noticed a few scattered students walking to class giving me looks. it was at that moment that I figured they were probably staring at my tail. did Greg and Chris not notice it or did they just not care? Whatever it was I hoped no one would make a big deal about it. letting out an exasperated breath as we arrived at the door. Greg opened up the door for us saying "ladies first" which earned him a smack up the head from the Frenchman. I giggled before walking through the door. I looked around and saw a cluster of desks on one side and a teacher's desk and a chalkboard on the other. While the other two waltzed to their desks I trudged up to the teacher's desk to give him the note from the PC principal. "oh so you're the new student huh? well, I'm Mr. Garrison. What's your name?" I gulped "Lupa" "well nice to meet you" he casually rose from his seat and stood in front of the class getting their attention. "everyone I would like to introduce our new student Lupa." he announced before gesturing to me. unknowing of what to do, I gave a shy wave and a smile. "tell us a bit about yourself, dear." I had been hoping he wouldn't say that but I had no choice since he singled me out. "I moved here with my family from North Carolina. I'm 14 and I draw." I was unsure of how people react to my beliefs and such so I omitted those little facts. Mr. Garrison let me take a seat and I weaved myself through the mess of desks. I found a seat in the back next to Christophe and behind Gregory where I quickly sat down and let out a sigh of relief. "well that could have gone better" I exclaim as I rest my head in my hand. "you were fine love, right Christophe?" "Oui, mon ami." I let out a breath I hadn't realized I was holding in and set my head on the desk deciding to let my mind wander before dozing off.

~yes another time skip~

before I knew it the bell for recess rang and students ran for the door. I had been startled awake by the bell so I groggily stood up, stumbling from my seat. Chris grabbed my arm to hold me up as I stretched and yawned, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. "thanks." "It's fine let's go." the Frenchy mumbled as we followed everyone into the hallways and out a set of double doors into an open yard for some downtime. seeing everyone playing, we decided on just sitting and chatting on the swings. we simply chatted before a boy with blonde hair and a blue jacket approached me. I grew weary as I saw him not knowing if he would question me as did that Eric boy. he grinned as he stood in front of me. "you said your name was Lupa right? lupa puer?" "yeah... why?" his grin grew and he became giddy. who is this kid? "oh i'm your pen pal butters!" "butters!?" I was finally meeting my pen pal! I was so overjoyed that I lept up from the swing and lifted butters in a hug, swinging him around as we giggled in glee. after I placed him down the 4 of us chatted away and soon enough the bell rang signaling the end of recess.
