A.N.I.M.A.L. Academy

Icky Surprise

Do you know what the best part of biology was? Nothing! Well at least nothing in the spand of the last five weeks. Just cells, cells, parts of cells, types of cells... ugh, you get the point. Before that we were dealing with dissection and it got all the squeamish people practically running out of the room. One of the best things I have ever seen. And not only because I don't like them.

But that felt like forever ago.

"I need to get out of here. It's not good. It's no good. I can't get out. ... remember... Why won't she..?" That girl talking really quietly next to me she is... weird. But she's my best friend, and if you hurt her, I will personally kick your ass.

She's smarter than she acts. Which means she acts normal (smarticle wise). She claims she's trying to act stupid to make everyone else feel better about themselves. She doesn't do it to seem cute, she does it so no one will pay attention to her. If anyone talks, touches, or Hell even looking her way she freaks out. The only time she actually acts close to normal is when she threatens someone who made fun of Kyle, me or even Blake. And she hates Blake. She could kill someone before they could even notice she's there. She won't care if you talk bad about her, though. Yep. That's my Lil.

She's almost the exact opposite of me. I threaten people no matter what. Plus she's as white as vanilla ice cream and I'm black. Back to the threatening thing, I want people to know I'm in charge, and I will not take no for an answer. I almost got expelled last year for hurting people... three times... plus some, you know the number doesn't matter. But luckily our guardian, Paul, pulled a couple strings. Most of the time Lil has my back.

Kyle is our best friend, and unfortunately sitting all the way across the room. He's a total dork who needs to learn the terms 'personal space' and 'keep it to yourself'. He always makes sure that both me and Lil are okay. Even if we don't want it. God knows we don't want it. He's got brown hair with blond highlights along with brown eyes with gold streaks to match. His canines are a lot longer than his other teeth. Making all the vampire loving people (freaks) go crazy. They probably think he's a real vampire. Haha. They've got another thing coming. he has this huge crush on Lil and everyone knows but her. He's loyal, it's sorta creepy. Well, at least I get all the money he owes me back.

All that's left is... I don't want to talk about him. Or his brown eyes. He's icky. Nice set of abs but icky.

Yep. That's everyone. Me, Lil, icky, and Kyle. We all have Bio together. Luckily it's our last class so I won't stay in Hell much longer. Cue to awesome inward  happy dance.

Sorry. I forgot to mention, I'm Alex.

*Time Skippy to Alex and Lil's home*

"Alex? Lily? Girls, is that you?" Paul asked from the kitchen. I smelt the food and was about to take off my shoes to go help, because no one wanted burnt food for dinner. I looked over at Lil to make a snarky comment about Paul's cooking when I saw a new bruise on her arm.

"What happened!" I hissed demandingly. "Who did this to you?"

"Don't worry about it, Alex. I can handle another bruise." That's right. 'Another'. Meaning this has happened before. A lot. I'm never there when it happens, which is kinda confusing because she's pretty much always by my side. We have every class together and the only time we're really separated is when one of us (usually me) is beating up another kid.

"Alex, aren't you going to hel- oh God! Lily, what happened?" Paul asked frantic to Lil's side inspecting her arm.

"It's nothing. You know that," she spat at him ripping her arm away from him. She looked at me, "I'm going to our room, Alex. Don't follow me." She looked back at Paul. "Either of you."
