(Vixy's POV)

The nest day of school for me was hell. Vivian was suspended for a week and Uncle Nick was pretty pissed. I already knew I'd have to calm the fire again once the weekend arrived, but at the moment, I was more stressed about school more than ever. Students, especially the females who drooled over Aaron, were sending me mixed messages; some were sympathetic, some were snarky, in lack of a better word, bitchy, and others said nothing.

As I made it to the school, waiting for Aaron and Jasper alone, I could hear some mammals referring to me as the vixen whore. It's pretty obvious that Max's followers spread the news and the school was taking it the wrong way.

I stood at the doors and yawned, rubbing my face. Oh, and to top off my already crappy day, I couldn't sleep because of a nightmare that Max ended up raping me than shooting Aaron......yeah, that dream woke me up at one in the morning and I couldn't get to sleep.

I rubbed my eyes with my face and heard paw steps. I looked up and recognized Aaron's light ginger fur. I quickly forced my eyes open and faked a small smiled. "Hey, Aaron," I said nervously.

Aaron tilted his head in a bit of worry before speaking. "Hey, Vix," he murmured, smiling at me.

Both of us instantly noticed some guys snickering, obviously checking me out. I got nervous and stiffened, my fur bristling. I felt Aaron's arm wrap around my waist and the other on my upper back, my paws resting on his chest. The males flipped me off and walked away. I sighed and felt Aaron's chin on my head. "Don't worry, Vixy. I won't let anyone in this school hurt you the same way you were hurt in Fox Hound." he murmured, making me calm down a little bit

I sighed and closed my eyes for a second before forcing them open. Aaron moved back a bit but kept his arm around my shoulders. We waited for Jasper, who was five minutes late. I had biology with Aaron and our teacher, Mr. Sanchez, who emailed uncle Nick, informing him that he's go easy on me for a while since I was recovering from my outburst the other day, and thankfully, so did the other teachers.

After two more minutes, Jasper was sprinting towards us. Once he reached Aaron and I, he was panting roughly. "Sorry....guys....got....held up....at home." he huffed in between pants.

I shrugged then noticed a bad gash on his cheek and muzzle. I glanced at Aaron, seeing that he saw it too as we walked inside. "Hey, Jas, what's with that gash on your face?" he asked, moving his paw down my arm to hold mine, to which I held it back in return.

Jasper chuckled nervously, hiding the gash with his paw. "Oh, that. I uh, I had to walk here and a branch scraped my face. Don't worry, guys, I'm fine." he said reassuringly. Aaron and I glanced at each other, obviously not believing him, but both of us knew better than to push Jasper to explain himself to us, so we didn't.

............................................

Mr. Sanchez is a cheetah, he's about 34 to 35 and I swear to god he's the best teacher we've ever had! He actually gets mine and Aaron's sense of humor and he knows how to make everyone feel better.

However, I guess that today, I wasn't feeling good, and no, not just because I was sleep deprived, but also because of the amount of bad feelings I felt in my stomach and how hot I was feeling. However, I didn't want to worry anyone, so I didn't say anything. I know Aaron was growing suspicious, but I didn't say anything, too afraid to get him feeling bad as well.

While Aaron and I were standing up, figuring out something to do since we finished before everyone else when I felt a heat wave hit me hard and I leaned up against the wall, resting my paw on my forehead, closing my eyes for a second.

I opened them again and felt Aaron's paw on my shoulder. "Vix? Are you okay?" he asked, before placing his paw on my cheek. I noticed that he felt my fever as he froze and slowly placed the back of his paw on my forehead.

"Vixy, you're burning up," he said worriedly.

I was about to protest that I was fine, bit felt myself lose my footing and leaned heavily on Aaron, feeling like I was about to pass out. After a few moments, I heard the door open and felt Aaron pick me up bridal style.

I let my head rest on his shoulder and after a second, passed out.
