"Come on people, you know the rules. Human form only unless you're a senior or staff." One of the teachers in the hall called making me roll my emerald eyes. I panted as I trotted to my locker and shifted from cheetah to human before any teachers could see me. Still exhausted from running to school I plodded along to first class, maths, before the bell went. I sat in my usual spot, waiting for our new teacher, until the door opened and a large white tiger that I'd never seen before, stroled in and up to the desk. The tigers large for disappeared behind the desk and a large and handsome man stood dressed in a tightly fitted white blazer and dress pants. "Hello class." His rough deep voice sent shivers up my spine. "I'm your new maths teacher, Mr White and as I have no idea who any of you are, why don't we start of with some introductions." A few chuckles echoed around the room before he pointed to the person sat in front of me, telling them to do their introduction. I ignored everyone and just watched Mr White while the others talked. His eyes glimmered and shined as he laughed along with what someone had said. The room grew suddenly silent before I realised it was my turn and I stood awkwardly, making some of the people at the back laugh. "Hi, my name is azure. Uh, I'm 18 in February and my shift is a cheetah." I said shyly before sitting down. "Thank you azure." Mr white said before the next person began to talk.
I began to zone out and doodle in my book until the bell rang shocking me back to the real world. "Thank you everyone for the introductions, next lesson we will actually start work." Mr White said as people began to leave. "Azure," he said getting my attention. "Could I talk to you for a minute?" I nodded my head and finished packing my bag before walking to his desk. "What were you drawing?" He said instantly cutting to the chase. "Um I-I was uh, I was drawing animal." I said trying not to pass out from nerves. "May I see?" He said holding his hand out for my doodle pad. Oh god kill me now. I nodded slightly and pulled my pad from my bag and handed it to him. "These are very good." He said starting from the beginning of my pad. I began to get more nervous as he got closer to the end. "Wow." He said looking at the page I did today. "These are amazing. Especially considering that you only saw mason for a few seconds." He said as he ran his fingers down my drawing of his tiger in different positions. "Do you do this as a job or something or just a hobby?" He said looking up to me. "I-it's just a hobby." I said fiddling with my fingers. "Look, I'm going to run a club after school, life drawing, its meant to be for art students but I think you could join. I'm going to get different shifters in every week if you'd like to come." He said smiling and looking back at the pad. "I'll think about it." I said smiling slightly.
God I hate running home sometimes. I thought to myself as I tightly strapped my bag to my back and prepared to shift. I had to wait till everyone was gone so that I could shift but there were still a few cars in the car park. I shifted to my cheetah but stopped when I heard a deep rumble from behind me. "Azure, you know only seniors and teachers are allowed to shift on school grounds." I heard mr white say as I turned around to see his large white tiger form. "I-I was about to go home, a-and it's easier for me to run as a cheetah than walk as a human." I said lowering my head and flattening my ears. "Look I'm not meant to do this but if it really is easier for you to run than walk then why don't I just give you a lift in my car?" My ears pricked and I nodded slightly and watched his large sleek form move past me towards the most stand out car in the whole car park. I watched him move behind the black mustang, shift, then open the door. "You getting in?" He looked at me questioningly. I nodded slightly then looked at him awkwardly. I can't shift back yet. "Can you shift back yet?" He questioned coming to my side of the car. I shook my head and he nodded before opening the the door and moving the front seat forward. "You can lay in the back, its got blankets and pillows and stuff so you're comfortable." I nodded and smiled as best I could before climbing in and laying in the seats that were saturated in his scent. My eyes felt heavy as he got in and started the car.
"Azure. Azure." I heard through the cloud of my sleep before I stretched. "Ah, fuck." I heard the voice said causing my eyes to dart open. My eyes were met by mr white with a large scratch through his shirt and come blood coming from it. "Shit I'm so sorry." I said speed shifting and putting my hand on his chest. "I-I have bandages inside." He nodded and I helped him to my house. Once inside I sat him on the sofa and ran to the bathroom to get my first aid kit. When I came back he was shirtless and had one of his hands on the scratch on his chest. "Um, I have some d-disinfectant in here but it will sting. Is that alright?" I questioned and watched him nod and lay out on the sofa for me to clean his wounds. "I'm so sorry." I said dabbing a cotton ball of disinfectant on one of the cuts. "Its okay." He groaned. "But as payment, you have to come to the elective." He grinned at me and I smiled back. "If I must."
