 Part 2.

Chapter 3.

"Thank you, everyone! Goodnight!" I said while Collot flicked off the lights as the rest of us went to our respective bunks.

I hopped into my bunk and was surprised by how nice the mattress was, I could shift all I want and not make a peep. But there was one thing that I didn't like. Although it isn't the schools doing. I turned over onto my stomach and rested my chin on my arms. The bed was cold and solemn. The familiar darkness was strange and nearly evil. I'm so used to sleeping next to Jack, I miss it. Him holding me as we fall asleep. Wrapped in each other's embrace was the best feeling ever. Who knew cuddling was so good? Well, I knew this school would be different. But I didn't expect this.

Next Morning

"Gnawww," I yawned as I slowly shifted up.

I wake up early, earlier than Jack at least. I had to always sleep on the right side of the bed since I would wake up at least an hour or two before him. I remember one of the first nights I slept next to him, I was so embarrassed that I basically glued my hands to my side as I lay there waiting for Jack to get up. I quietly opened the curtain, to see the bunk across from me empty.

"Boo!" A hurdle of faces bombarded me from the top bunk, all of them, I jumped back and nearly screamed.

"Sorry, we figured it we be a good welcome," Jack spoke out among them.

I started to giggle, how lucky am I? To have such a wonderful boyfriend whom I will create so many memories. Even if we break up one day, I'll never stop being on his side.

"C'mon everyone! Let's go!" Collot said as he jumped from the bunk.

"By the way Ethan, you'll need to get up at this time every day. Actually perhaps a bit earlier," he shrugged as he gathered his belongings.

Welp, make that two things that are different. Looks like I won't be getting up any earlier than the others. But that's not a bad thing. Hopefully, that's it for now, I don't adjust well to new things. I mean I still think of myself as a human. I got up and smoothed my fur out before getting ready for school. I got on my clothes, prepared my bag, and prepared myself for the day ahead. The first day is always long and difficult.

"Ready Ethan?" Jack smiled as he held the door open for me.

"Yep!" I exclaimed.

Jack started walking, I guess they don't all eat together. Makes sense, everyone has their own friends. I followed Jack outside, where we walked to a building across the long yard. After we turned we were greeted with people ushering students into a line depending on your "eating habits." I know it makes it sense, but it's so different. Well, that's three.

"Oh my! I forgot an important notebook at the dorm I'll be right back grab us a table will you?" Jack didn't give me a moment to respond, he rushed off in seconds.

I sighed and waited in line, soon enough it was my turn and I took my plate of scrambled eggs, toast, and an apple. I picked up my plate and walked to a table There was a small wall splitting the dining area in half, it must be structural. I sat down on the left half and waited for Jack, slowly I noticed eyes flying towards me. Someone started to approach...

"What are you doing carnivore?" A slender gazelle approached me with an angry look on her face.

"Oh, I know you were in on Tem's death. Coming for seconds!" She yelled at me.

"Well, you might happen to know that he loved someone!" She kept screaming at me.

By now all eyes were on me, I didn't know what to think. I feel stuck, I don't think as myself as a carnivore. But... No, no, no.

"If you don't want to get expelled get out of here!" The lunch lady screamed at me.

I rushed up and sprinted out of the dining hall. Not touching anything, anyone on my way out. I sprinted faster than I ever had.

"Ethan what you doing," Jack said grinning with a parcel in his hands.

I wanted to stop, I wanted to stop running. I didn't want a repeat, I couldn't lose Jack. I just need two minutes. I ran to the back of the dining hall. And sat down between two dumpsters. It was impossible to see me unless you were right in front of me. I hear footsteps approaching, it could be anyone. Police, students, perhaps worse. I shut my close and wrapped my hands around my legs and began to sob. How can I recover from this?

"Ethan what are you doing," Jack accused me.

So he's unaware of what just happened. Well everyone is gonna find out. This won't go away. I looked up with a sorrowful face and before standing up.

"Jack, I sat on the wrong side," I managed to peep out before nearly breaking into a storm of tears.

I looked down but at the corner of my eyes, I could see that he was confused. Whenever Jack doesn't understand something he always looks in the same direction and doesn't say anything. I found that out when we were playing a game of chess. I looked back to see his reaction. His fur jumped up and his eyes widened. I think he tried to say something but he was speechless.

"Ethan, I- forgot," Jack started breathing heavily.

"Last year a new rule was put into place. Carnivores and herbivores are officially separated at Cherryton," Jack looked down.

I was so dumb, I don't know how this will go down.

"Your new, but if any other student did that they would be expelled," Jack said quietly.

"Look, I'm not gonna leave your side. We are going to go to the dorm. Tell the dorm mother your not feeling good. It's a Friday today, you'll have the weekend too. I won't leave your side," Jack spoke loud and clear, his voice was so compelling it sounded as if he was the last hope and he was giving a heart moving speech.

I hugged Jack and held onto his hand as we walked towards the dorms. My name in shreds, my hope for losing its glimmer, but I still have Jack.
