Fur-al High

[Srgntcuddles]

Reno wasn't sure if she was insulting him or asking what he thought of her work, so he kinda cocked his head looking at the picture to get a better look. "It's uh...Nice." After that he quickly finished his food, said goodbye and took off. Before he knew it the school day was over, luckily swim team didn't start meeting until next week so all he had to do was go to chess club. He didn't know what it was all about aside from the obvious and the stereotypes. When he found the room there was a bunch of chess tables set out with about seven or so people in there. He picked a far off table from the rest of them and sat alone looking over the peices that had been set out before him. Reno was too shy to ask anyone to play with him or go engage in a game with someone else, so he took out his iPhone and brought up a chat window. It was one of his good friends onlince. Reno told this friend he was trapped in chess club and needed a partner. His friend obliged him in his situation, and they both went into a digital game of chess. Reno also moved the chess pieces infront of him in corrilation with the pieces on his game. If he were looking at himself, alone playing chess with himself, he probably would notice he looked crazy.

Shinzuu grunted and held his side as they finally finished 4-mile run. He hated long-distance running. The coach finally broke them off into their groups off 4 to practice their events. Shinzuu stayed on the track with his team, since they were the sprinting team for the 100M, 200M, 4x1 and 4x2. As usual, Shinzuu was the head of his team, and the last leg for the relays, and maintained his high times for all practices. They then moved over to field event practice for individual practices. He worked hard as he practiced for the long jump, triple jump, and shot-put. The coach blew his whistle after a long while, signaling the end of practice. Shinzuu quickly ran to his bag, grabbed it, and ran straight for the gym. He checked his watch, Hmmm... 10 minutes in, they should be almost done with warm-ups.

Veronica hadn't watched the whole track team practice, leaving it with enough time to go inside and change before cheering practice started. She realized that she didn't need her uniform for practice and that made her feel like an idiot. Luckily, she had some shorts in her bag and was already wearing a tank top under her hoodie. Like is usually customary with cheerleaders, her shorts were tight, butt-hugging ones. She shoved her jeans into her bag along with her hoodie. Checking herself in a mirror, she untied her ponytail, brushing her hair out and re-tying it in a slightly higher ponytail than before. She headed towards the gym and arrived to practice right on time. They did stretches and practiced their jumps for about the first ten minutes before getting ready to do stunts. She was a flyer so she went up in the air for the stunts.

Schadenfreude grabbed her things after the rabbit left and headed to the art room for art club. It was a long day of drawing and "giving back to the community" through art. She often scoffed at the idea because a lot of the time art was the first to get cut in the long run, and she wondered why she should give back to a community that would sooner cut her program before football games and Ms. Fur-Al contests. She entered the room bitter, but ready for instruction. She hated that she had to participate in a club.

Reno won his first game with his cyber buddy, but quickly lost the second. After that he called off any further matches, said good bye and put his phone away. With that done he sat there just looking around resetting the chessboard infront of him. There was a few more people in there bye now, he hoped no one would come over to him because he was extremly nervous. As he was sitting there just looking around his hand was shaking a bit and he was sweating a tad. Reno turned to his chessboard and kinda hid his face with his hands.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Shinzuu couldn't help but notice the arctic wolf at both the track practice and at basketball practice. So she's a cheerleader, too, huh? I wonder if she had joined my fan club, too. They're always usually the only spectators at practice. Maybe I should ask her. No, it might seem a bit conceded.... As Shinzuu contemplated this, a basketball came flying at him and knocked him square in the face, making him fall on his side. The coach blew his whistle and rushed over with some of the other team. "You ok, Shinzuu? Are you sick or something? You seem pretty out of it today." Shinzuu waved them off, "No, I'm fine, just been thinking, is all. It won't happen again." His teammates helped him up and practice went on. Since today was more tryouts than actual practice, everyone left early after being told they were either on or not on the team. Shinzuu had left right after he watched his friends get accepted again. He didn't really need to do anything, since everyone knew he would be chosen.

As he made his way out the door, he decided to stay a little while and watch the arctic wolf Freshman practice and fly through the air. He paid really good attention to her for a few minutes before finally getting up and going home. Ok.... so she is not a he. Now what's your explanation, genius?

It wasn't hard for Veronica to have a chipper attitude when she was flying. It was such a liberating feeling when you didn't have to worry about the bases catching you. Even though most of the girls on the cheering team had crushes on Shinzuu, they knew better than to let their eyes wander while doing stunts. "Veronica, smi--!" The coach started to tell her to smile but soon realized that she was was already grinning naturally. When practice finished, everyone was on the squad and none of the freshmen, including her, were surprised that they got spots because they had all been cheering for a few years prior. She felt sort of an elated feeling as she left to go home.

Today had been good, there wasn't that much conversation in class. A few people had tried to talked to her, but they were the art-education type: preppy, smiling, and more for teaching or bossing than doing. They were easily shut down with a dirty look or scowl. She hated them because to her, they weren't real artists. Real artists experimented for themselves while those types preferred to go by the book. Grabbing her sketchbook, she felt it was a relief to finally get outta there.

Reno looked to the clock and saw it was time to leave, relieved he didn't have to talk to anyone he left quickly without a word. As he was walking down the hallways it donned on him, he still needed to get to work and he didn't bring his bike. "Oh crap! I'll never make it to work on time!" Realizing this he skipped into a wild sprint down the halls and out of the building with suprising speed for somone who seemed like one who doesn't run a lot. Reno sped off school property and down the road to work. After about twenty minutes of a dead sprint he finally made it to work, it was a restaurant. Reno burst through the door and zoomed into the back; once in his boss' voice could be heard. "You're late, Reno!" Reno looked to the clock in the kitchen and saw he was ten minutes late. "Aye, sorry, boss, won't 'appen again." Reno was panting wildly as he head to a small room followed by his boss. "I'll let you slide this time because it wasn't passed ten minutes, you know my ten minute policy." "Aye, boss, I do." "I give you a little breathing room, ten minutes is all you get without getting in trouble." Reno mouthed his boss' words as he took off his school clothes and got into his work clothes in his locker. "Alright, Reno, table 13 needs to be bussed, and table 8 is ready for their order and..." His orders just came and came as Reno began to walk out of this room begining his work. The only thing that was going to get him through was knowing it was payday.

Shinzuu got home before his parents did and sighed. He took off his shoes at the door and stepped up onto the floor of the rest of the house and made his way into the kitchen. There, he pulled out some leftover food and dug into it as he walked over to the family area of the apartment, right next to the kitchen. Shinzuu sat onto the couch and turned on the television. I know it's unorthodox to be eating this and being a couch potato, but I just need a break. His mind wandered and continued to think of the freshman girl of whom he had no allergic reaction to. Shinzuu finished his food and set the box on the table. He continued to think about the girl until he finally fell asleep... Only 8:30pm.......

Veronica walked through the door of the house and removed her shoes. She went into the kitchen and put on water to boil. Going to her room, she changed into some PJs which consisted of a pair of boy's sleep pants and a tank top. She untied her ponytail and let her long hair loose. Heading back to the kitchen, she found her water boiling and dumped in a box of Kraft macaroni & cheese, setting a timer for seven and a half minutes. She went to the living room and turned on the TV, sitting on the couch and watching it until the timer went off. She prepared her food and went into the living room, starting to eat as she watched TV. Her parents came home out around the same time when she was halfway done with her food. They asked her how her day was and she used the usual "fine" response. She watched TV with them until 10:00 and then went to bed.

She walked outside the school, taking in her surroundings, pondering on where to go. She didn't want to go home. She never did, and so she often tried to stay out as late as possible. There were a few crowds of kids together outside, talking, enjoying the sun outside after class. One cocky wolf stepped out of a clique, noticing she was by herself. Apparently, he had confused her for a guy, and a gay guy at that and wanted to look big and bad in front of a group of girls. He began to shove and insult her with a grin on his face, frequently calling her a faggot, not getting the she was a girl. She ignored it, until he realized that she was not going to respond and he jerked her up, taking it a step further by reaching out and patting her face a couple of times as if to challenge her through play slaps. Of course all the other kids whooped over it, enjoying the guy picking on a new kid, but a few moments later he was on the ground with a broken nose, arm, and bloody lip, her on top of him hissing, and rearing back for more until other students began to interject, grabbing her arms. They had to pull her off of him, because if there was one thing she didn't like, it was someone touching her face, discriminating (though she wasn't a gay guy), and being a jerk on top of all that and she was the type that wouldn't stop until he stopped squirming. She knew she's probably be suspended for a couple of days, but her bloody lip and that was worth putting someone in their place. That guy wouldn't be harassing anymore gay guys now that his pride was hurt in front of some girls. The guys that pulled her off threw a couple of shots to her stomach while holding her and threw her to the side. People rushed over to attend to him, while she was left behind in the rush, students calling out to get some kid of authority from the school. Schadenfreude caught her breath, and headed somewhere before the principal got there. As she walked on, she licked the blood from her lips and smiled. Today wasn't so boring after all. She couldn't wait to see what tomorrow brought.

Reno finally managed to make it to his room at the hotel at 11. He walked inside, closed and locked the door behind him and fell face first onto his bed tired. He reached for his iPhone and punched in some numbers. "Hello, this is Gracia speaking, how may I help you?" spoke a female voice over the phone. "Oh, Gracia, it's me, Reno. I was just calling for some room service." "Oh, Reno, why are you calling this number?" "Room phone is all the way over there." "Tough day?" "Aye." "Alright, what do you want? I'll have it sent to you." "Thank you, Gracia, your peach you are. I'd like a sausage pizza and go ahead and get something for yourself if you want." "Alright, Reno, thanks. Room 212, right?" "Aye." "I'll get on it now. Take care, Reno." With that Reno hung up and forced himself off the bed and to his feet, unbuttoning his school clothes again. He shook himself wildly to wake himself up as he went over to his laptop and brought up his music player. He put on a playlist entitled "Rise Against" and took off his shirt tossing it on his bed mouthing the words to the song that was playing. Reno walked into the bathroom and reached into the shower turning it on. He got the rest of the way undressed and got in the shower and quickly cleaned up taking only about 15 minutes. He dried himself off and wrapped a towel around his waist while using another to dry his head and ears. He walked out of the bathroom towards his computer and found the song "Devils trill by Vanessa Maes" and hit the repeat button. The sound of a violin filled the room as Reno floated over to a violin case leaning against the wall near his bed. He openned it and took out a violin and began to play along with the song with suprising rythm and grace. The only thing that stopped him was a knock on the door. He got up, went to the door and sure enough it was his pizza. He paid for it, took it inside and began to eat it at the foot of his bed. He looked at a picture of him with his parents as he ate. "This piece is for you..." he said softly placing a piece of pizza on a napkin next to the picture frame.

The second day was pretty much like the first, not really much different except for longer classes. This time, though, he left basketball practice on time instead of early. That night, his mother was home and they both stayed up late watching TV. Shinzuu stretched as he got up from the couch on Sunday morning. Ah, and here I thought I would be looking forward to school again. Man, I am sooo stupid. Hmmm.... I think I'll head out to Shibuya and chill out with the guys at the arcade.

[Vee Katame: His Wolfy]

On the second day, Veronica didn't watch the track practice and went to the library to read instead like what she usually did. That was the only thing that was different about her day though and the fact that she stayed up later that night. On Sunday morning, she got up at around 9:30. She hung around the house until about midday when Carmen called her and asked if she wanted to go to the movies which she of course said yes to. She got ready and grabbed her cell phone, heading out the door she said bye to her mother since her dad was out doing something. Walking to the movie theater, she looked around at all the people out and about.
