Chapter 5.

Ren's POV

I woke up and looked at the clock. 9:54 P.M. With this fucked up sleeping schedule, I could be a party animal. I rolled out of bed, I had a disgusting taste in my mouth. I washed my mouth out, I realized it was on my lips. I went to take a shower. I stripped down and wet my body. Someone opened the door, I peaked out from behind the curtain to see who it was. Daniel. He had blood all over his face. I quickly washed the soap out of my hair, dried off, and tied my towel around my waist. I stepped out and walked to him. I put a hand on his shoulder, "What happened?" I asked softly, I hugged him from behind. "Stupid bullies." he said, trying not to sob. I turned him to look at me. I raised an eyebrow softly, I washed the blood off his face. "Why is it that you were wincing, when you cleaned yourself, but you're perfectly fine when I'm doing it?" I asked. "I like your touch, painful or not." He said, blushing. After I got all the blood off his face, I looked at the wounds. I put my hand on the side of his head, "Come on." I whispered. We stepped outside, we walked to my room. "I should probably change, huh?" I said, he turned around, embarrassed. I chuckled and put clothes on. He turned around, I sat him on my bed. I grabbed some bandages, and gauze pads. I bandaged all his wounds. I slid my hands up his shirt, taking it off. I saw a bunch of bruises, I ran my hand up his flat stomach. He blushed, I touched a bruise, he flinched. I grabbed some soothing cream, and rubbed it on his torso. He stifled a moan, I put his shirt back on, I held his bangs out of his face. I examined his face, all bandaged up, I smiled weakly and kissed his forehead. "Now, who are the bitches I need to beat up?" I asked quietly. He chuckled, "No it's fine." He said, smiling. His smiled faded when he realized I was serious, "No, Ren it's fine. I promise." He hugged me. I gritted my teeth, and relaxed. "If this happens again, I will murder a bitch." I said. He nodded, he left my room. I laid back on my bed, and sighed. I looked at the clock, 10:18P.M. I groaned. Nothing to do, I subconsciously, started tapping the wall. The taps turned into, rhythmicly banging on the wall to the tune of one of my favorite songs, 'S&M' by Rihanna. Yes I know, my taste in music is very ratchet. I hate slow music, and country music makes me gag. My mom used to like country music, I've hated it ever since she..... I started mumbling the song to myself. "Na na na, come on." The mumbling turned into singing quietly, "Feels so good, bein' bad. There's no way I'm turning back." Eventually I was full on singing. "I may be bad, but I'm perfectly good at it. Sex in air in the air, I don't care I love the smell of it. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but chains and whips excite me." Still rhythmicly hitting the wall, I sat up and started stomping and snapping to the beat of my voice. I sang the whole song, I smiled to myself. 'Your voice is amazing.' I got a text from someone. I opened my door to see about five people listening to me sing. I blushed, flustered. "Shut up." I said, I closed my door. How embarrassing, I sat down putting my face in my palms. I like singing and acapella, but not in front of people. It's hard to believe I was part of my school's competitive acapella group. I left halfway through my first season, because the senior, who was leading us is a bitch. She made me take my piercings out. She was singing a song at competition, and I added another. The crowd loved us, we won and went to finals, because of my mashup. But she wasn't having it, I messed her up. It should've been her who added the extra song, I'm a DJ, I can listen two things at once. I laid back on my bed and unknowingly fell asleep.

The next morning

I woke up falling off the bed, I got up no noise made. I got ready, for clothes, a black one long sleeved shirt, green and black see through flannel around my waist, and tight dark red jeans. Of course, for shoes, knee high converse. I stepped out side of my room, I saw Daniel leaving too. I walked out, Daniel was a bit behind me. I saw Nate, he kissed me. I hugged him, he arched his back, lifting my feet off the ground. We walked to school, we saw our friends and talked for a bit. We split up for first hour, I saw some freshman human girls wearing the acapella team uniform, and one sophomore human guy wearing the uniform. I got to math, I started my work as I was halfway through the last problem, a vaguely familiar voice came over the intercom. "Will Ren Wakaba please report to auditorium. Ren Wakaba to the auditorium." I finished the problem, handed in my work, and headed to the auditorium. I got there, I saw the acapella team on stage. "Ren!" One girl said, I turned to see one of my old friends, Roxanne. "Hey." I said, quietly "What's going on?" I questioned. "How would you feel about rejoining the acapella team for regionals?" She asked. "Why do you ask now?" I said, "We need a good leader." She said. "What happened to Gail?" I asked, "She quit." She answered. "Wow, the new captain quits, of course." I said. "Sure, what song are we rehearsing?" I asked, "Well, we don't exactly have a song yet." She said. I sighed, I walked towards the girls and few guys. I clapped twice, they shut up "Alright, I was at auditions. Why don't we sing the song you auditioned with? I'll come up with the second song." I said. The Freshman and Sophomores looked at each other confused, the Juniors and Seniors knew what I meant. "You may not know this, but I used to be a part of this team." I stated. "Wait, you're Ren Wakaba?" One girl spoke up, I nodded. "Mashups are my thing. You just keep singing the song, I add another one." I said with a wink. "Now time for captain mode, if I hurt your feelings I am very sorry in advance." I said. "Alright, we have regionals in four days. We gotta get this choreography, the singing should come easy." We started dancing, it felt so good to dance for the first time in a while. After we learned the dance, we started singing. I stepped back, I counted them off. They started singing, Roxanne and another red head girl were the lead singers. They were good at singing, I smiled. After they finished I clapped, "I think we need an audience to see this, already." I said. After one more run through Roxanne called in some other people in to watch us. I was a bit nervous, they're all humans, wearing the uniform. I'm the only furry, and I'm not wearing the uniform. We started, about a quarter of they way, I added the second song. We finished everyone clapped, after they gave me my old uniform back, I went to Mrs. Eucalypt's class. I walked in halfway through class, she saw me holding my uniform and smiled. She held me after class, "You needed something Mrs. Eucalypt?" I asked. She sat on the desk next to me, "You joined the Airas again?" She asked. "Yeah, that's why I was late, we rehearsed a piece I came up with on the spot." I said scratching the back of my neck. "Are you the captain?" She asked, "Yeah." I responded "So you don't have to take those 'ear monstrosities' out for competitions?" She said referencing something Jane, the old captain, said to me freshman year. "I'm going to have to come see you rehearse." She added. "We'll probably rehearse this afternoon." I said, she nodded. I went to fourth hour, Nate and Liz said hi and class started. After class we went to lunch, I didn't eat. I didn't feel like it. Nate looked at me softly, I smiled, "I love you." I said. "I love you too." He responded. After lunch I ran by Mrs. Eucalypt's room, and told her I wouldn't be rehearsing after school. I got to English, t'was very boring. After, I went to P.E. exercise. I got to art, we started painting. After school I saw Daniel, "Hey, I'll catch up with you guys, you can wait if you want. You don't have to." I said. I sneakily followed Dan, I saw a three guys come up to him. I watched, "Sup, Fag." One of them said, as if it was his name. "What do you want?" Dan asked trying to keep his composure. "We just want to talk." Another one said. That set me off, what are these bitches planning. The only one who hasn't talked held him against the lockers. I decided to step in, "Back off assbag." I said calmly walking towards him. "What did he do to you?" I asked, a bitchy tone in my voice. He stayed silent. He looked vaguely familiar, then it hit me. He asked me out once and I turned him down, I know his weakness now. I look VERY different from when we last met. I didn't have red in my bangs, and I didn't have my piercings yet. "What's the matter? Ren got your tongue." I said, still approaching him. He let Daniel go, the other guys saw his discomfort and ran away. Dan caught his breath and ran past me. "Whoa, you look" he paused for a good three seconds, "different." He finished. "So do you." I said, "Listen Noah, you leave Dan alone." I whispered. "Why should I?" He said, "What do you want?" I asked. "For you to stop teasing me." He said, I stepped back confused. "Everyday, I see you, looking adorable and everyday, I see you dancing, singing, or being quirky, but I know I can't have you. What I want is for you to stop being so adorable." He said, blushing. I smiled, "Deal." I said, patting his head. I walked away, I walked into the courtyard to see Dan and Nate sitting on a bench. I saw Cass, Trav, Beau, and Liz sitting on a wall. I walked up to Dan and Nate, "Hey guys." I said quietly. "This is your boyfriend?" Dan asked, I nodded. He turned to Nate, "Your boyfriend just saved me from a beating." He said. "You're so lucky to have him." "I know." Nate said, smiling at me. We called everyone over and started walking home. Me and Dan, walked in the hideout. I went to my room, I still felt bad because, Dan still has a black eye. I went to the shower room, and took a shower. After I walked out of the steamy room. I looked at my phone, I started walking to my room. I bumped into Dan, I looked at his eye. I raised my hand to the side of his head, I tilted my head slightly. "You poor thing." I said softly, he blushed. "I'm fine, don't worry." He responded. I winked and went to my room. I laid down on my bed, I rolled onto my stomach and passed out.
