The new school year is here.
The first class of the day is Economics, so I make my way to the lecture hall and take a seat in the back. I love Economics, mostly because Stone and his goons don’t take this particular class.
As the lecture is about to start, a girl comes running towards me. She’s very pretty with curly black hair and hazel eyes. I’ve never seen her before, but I can’t help but feel myself blush as she comes near where I’m sitting.
She smiles brightly at me, and points to the chair next to me, “Is this taken?”
“Oh? No, no, you can take it,” I sputter. Wow, a pretty girl wants to sit next to me? I was not what you would call model handsome. I think I’m okay in the looks department, I just look average. But this girl, she’s way out of my league.
But as soon as she takes a seat, she turns to me and grins again, “Hello, I’m Kayla. Kayla Sherwin. It’s nice to meet you.”
I stare at her hand that is stretched towards me for a moment before taking it, “Hi, my name’s Jace Greyson. And the pleasure is all mine.”
“Oh,” she tucks her hand under her chin to give me a coy look. “You’re a charmer, aren’t you?”
I laugh awkwardly at that, “Oh, I was not trying to be creepy or anything.”
“Aww, you’re precious. I love polite boys,” She giggles, “I’ve never seen you around here, are you new?”
“No, no. I’ve been attending here since last year.”
“Me too. Hey, your accent is familiar. It’s not an Empire city one.”
“Haha, you noticed that?”
“Are you by any chance from Clandestine city?” She asks and my eyes widen.
“Yeah, wait, are you from there too?”
“Yes!” She looks overjoyed, “I can’t believe you’re from the same city I am! Talking about coincidences.”
We talk about our home city after that, and with each passing second, I find myself falling for this girl. Kayla is so open and talkative, and she sounds polite and honest, which is a nice change from other kids who attended this school. I’ve never been a believer in love at first sight or instant attraction, but with her, it feels inevitable
Maybe this meant my bad luck was turning better.
At the end of the Economics lecture, we get up to leave, and Kayla asks, “So, where are you headed next?”
“I’ve got Creative writing next. It’s a minor I take this year.”
“Oh, that’s nice. I have world history,” She looks sad at that, “I wish we had the same class. I had such a great time with you!”
“Me too,” I don’t normally do this, but with her, it feels just right, “Hey, if you’re free later this evening, would you like to grab a coffee with me or something?”
Kayla raises a brow, “Are you asking me out, Jace?”
“I mean, yeah,” I gulp, “yeah, I am.”
“Oh, you’re so sweet. I’d love to go out with you, but I’m more of a dinner date kind of girl.”
“That’s cool. We can go wherever you like!”
“Awesome. It’s a date then!”
I feel like the day just got a bit brighter.
***
I did not anticipate her choosing one of the trendiest, most expensive restaurants in the city for us to go to dinner at. I mean, that one is on me, she is a girl from King’s College after all. But a dinner there would cost me an entire month’s salary! At a moment like this, that kind of a place wasn’t affordable.
I try to ask her if we can change the location just for tonight, but she looks at me pleadingly.
“Please Jace, I’ve been wanting to go here forever,” she clings to my arm, and directs her shining, puppy dog eyes at me, “I promise I will make it up to you later.” She strokes my chest, and I immediately understand what she is implying.
I sigh, “Okay, then.”
I’ve always been a sucker for puppy eyes.
It’s just one night, right?
The food was delicious, but the prices were off the roof. I let Kayla choose whatever she liked, but got only two side dishes for me. When she asked why I was being so frugal, I made up the excuse of being on a restrictive diet.
When the bill comes, I try not to cringe at the sum.
After dinner, Kayla gives me a kiss on the cheek as we walk out of the restaurant.
“Tonight, was great. Thank you, Jace,” she murmurs, her lips still on my cheek.
“It was my pleasure,” I reply, blushing from her ministrations.
“So, I booked us a room,” Kayla says, “And I’d love it if you accompany me there. I promised I’d make it up for you, didn’t I?”
I’m pretty turned off after the whole thing with dinner, but at the mention of the room I think, ‘why not?’ It’s been months since I last had some fun with a girl.
We make our way to her hotel room, and as soon as we enter, Kayla starts to kiss me. I kiss her back enthusiastically, and her ferociousness comes out. She starts to unbutton my shirt as she holds me to the wall. My timidness takes over me, and I stand there awkwardly.
God, I’m such a wimp.
“I’ve been wanting to do this for hours,” she gasps into my mouth as she pushes the shirt off my shoulders, “take off your pants, baby.”
My body heavily reacting to her touches, I follow her command and strip off my pants.
However, the moment I take off my underwear, the door opens, and in bursts a bunch of people. Shocked, I freeze on the spot as I register the faces of the mob.
It’s Stone and his goons!
“Prank, bro!” Stone yells out in glee, and to make matters worse, produces a camera, “You’ve been pranked! You fell for our trap, you idiot, and now you’re being live-streamed on the internet!”
I try to cover myself, my brain reeling from humiliation, hurt, and shock. I look at Kayla for help, but she is laughing with the bullies.
“What?” Catching my eye, she grins nastily, “Did you really think I was into you? You’re pathetic. Greg’s my boyfriend!"
That’s when I get over my shock.
“Stone, this is too much,” I tell him, “Beating me up at the streets in one thing. Turn off that camera and get lost!”
“Yeah, no,” Stone grins, “You think you can get rid of me, you pathetic loser?! I will make sure you’re little weeny is pasted all over the internet, so even the dean will find out.”
“No, you will not.” Suddenly, a familiar voice comes, and I can’t help but gasp.
Everyone turns to the door, and Gerald enters the room.

261. Supernatural?
“Oh, fuck!” I let out as I spring away from where I’d been lying with my head on Estelle’s lap. “Holy shit, I’m normal! I’m normal!”I pat at my body, and sure enough, it’s two-legged, hairless, and my hands are actually my hands! With fingers and pink skin, with only some fine hair on my forearms, and no black fur in sight!I immediately look behind me, and nearly cry in relief when I see that I have a normal, human posterior, not one with a tail.And to my surprise, my clothes are still intact though I had ripped them when I had turned into a dog, but they were still here. Thank God, because I did not fancy getting naked for the second time today.“I did not think that would happen,” Estelle comments, and I turn to her. She doesn’t look too shocked at my reappearance as a human. She stands up from where she had been sitting, brushing off her pants as if on habit before turning to me with a smile, “Well, it’s a good thing I didn’t call that hospital.”I stare at her for a moment, won
260. Scream
I cower near the toilet, scared out of my fricking mind as the door opens, hoping to everything holy that she would not freak out, which is stupid considering who would not freak out when they see an animal in a room where they initially left a human in?But to my utter surprise, when Estelle opens the door, she does not scream or throw anything at me.Instead, she blinks.Once.Twice.And then she opens her mouth to say, “Oh.”I blink at her. What did she mean oh? There’s a fricking dog creature in her bathroom and no sign of a human, the human that came to her house naked in the middle of the rain! Why does she look so calm and curious? Why is she looking at me like this was every other Tuesday in her life? I feel so confused that a whine falls from my throat, and that seems to snap her out of her contemplative stare.“I didn’t realize that you were one of them,” she tells me in a confused tone, brows furrowed, “I mean, it’s not like I’m new to this, I should’ve been able to smell y
259. Coming in
I felt different.It was like everything that made me myself, my personality, my conscience, my thinking, and my control over my body, had been plucked out of the said body and then put into a small box somewhere in my mind. I didn’t have any control of my body, although I could feel my body, but then I could not actually feel like I did every day. No, it felt like it wasn’t my body, but then it felt like my body, but not my body again…I didn’t know what to make out of this. My head hurt, and I felt like my breathing capacity had increased and my legs had shortened, and I couldn’t stand up regardless of my somewhat dubious control I tried to open my mouth to talk but couldn’t do that either.And my visions feel weird, everything feels lower than it did before whatever happened to me happened, and the pictures flitting through my eyes seem far more intense than normal. I can hear so many noises as well, the fill of water in the tank somewhere, the sloshing of liquid in the septic tank
258. Get out.
“Okay, so this is going to sound utterly unbelievable at first,” I say, “but bear with me, okay? This really happening and I am not lying, not one bit.”Estelle raises a brow at me. “Okay, normally, if someone tries to defend themselves that much, I might get a little suspicious, but then again what happened to your girlfriend made it to the news and I would never have thought anything like that taking place outside movies or books so I’m going to let you tell your story and pass judgment afterward.”“Fair. To be honest, I don’t even know if I should tell you all this considering there’s still an active investigation happening,” not that the active investigation was doing anything to help. You would think that after being one of the centerpieces of a murder and kidnapping investigation you would be questioned by authorities daily and at least be sent to jail once, but so far, we were only hearing crickets from the police side. It felt like they were truly living under the impression t
257. Ex
Estele sighs, running her fingers through her hair.“I honestly don’t know at this point,” she says, “I’ve never really given any serious thought about this. I knew from the start that I was going to be very careful when having sex with people and was always prepared up until yesterday. And like I told you, I’m not the one for hookups and one-night stands. I love relationships, and I’d gotten out of one just mere months ago and still am not over it, not really.”“Oh, I’m so sorry,” I wince, wondering how two similar people like us could’ve done the same mistake, “was it a bad breakup? I didn’t bring back any memories or something, did I?”Estelle gives out a snort of laughter at that.“No, dude, I can’t even remember the hookup so nothing like that happened,” she reminds me, “and it wasn’t a messy breakup per se. I just…we fell out of love, you see. I never thought that would happen in a relationship. We had been dating for like two years now, and I honestly thought that the next step
256. Good news
After spending quite some time rifling through her wardrobe, Estelle comes downstairs to where I’m sitting on one of her mauve-colored couches with a fluffy blanket wrapped around my frame, holding some clothes.“Good news,” she grins at me, “there are some clothes one of my friends left here after staying the night, and she is about your size. So, if you don’t have an issue with pink,” she hands me the large pink t-shirt she’s got bundled in her hand with a wry quirk to her lips, “and basketball shorts,” she hands me bright red basketball shorts, “then these are yours.”I squint at the combination and comment, “You know, I don’t mean any offense, but who on earth wears this combo even to bed?” The t-shirt is fuchsia with cute, squiggly sheep jumping over a bright green patch of grass. It is truly an assault on the senses, and the less said about the shorts the better.Estelle snorts, “She’s a bit into the eclectic side of fashion. You want me to try and find something else?”“Oh, no,
