"Your going to be late for your first day of your new high school Harlco if you don't dressed now!" my mum yelled at me as I ambled to my room, scanning the mess for my new school uniform. I found it tucked under my red duvet bed, dust gathering on it already. I quickly unrobed my self from my pale blue bath robe and put on some silk boxers that were peeking out from my drawers; quietly i turned to the mirror that sat snugly on top.

I wouldn't think that I, Harlco Jackson, would be your ordinary 15 year old teen; one reason being that well, i was a half "breed" or a freak of nature as the public called it. That, was definately not a good mix. My mum was a Husky Wolf mix, while my Dad (who died 5 years ago in a car crash) was just a typical human. I have no idea how they got together, 1 because I never asked and 2 because my mum didn't think i knew all about sex even though i had almost finished Puberty.

I snatched my comb from my bedside table, (a feeble arms length away) and started to run it through my cleanly washed black hair which came down and ended just half way down my neck. With a hand, i scooped up some gel and calmly "lubricated" (LOL) my hair. Once it was in position i put on my school uniform, the buckle of the pants getting caught on the bits on fur that had grown in patches around my body. Yeah, i know, gross. Personally i didn't like how i looked, with my deep green eyes, black hair and grey fur along my legs, chest and arms, i also didn't like my unretractable claws that gre quickly and naturally from my almost paw like fingertips. I wasn't a normal person, and i had to accept that.

Once ready, i grabbed my wallet, phone and ipod from my bed side table, flinging the comb onto the wooden floor while storming out of the room calling loudly "Mum i'm ready, lets go!"

I briskly walked along the drive way to my mums Mitsubushi Outlander and hopped into the passenger seat, plugging my ipod nano into the ipod dock next to the radio.

"Gosh, some ones eager" my mum grinned as she started the engine, slowly backing out of the driveway.

I sighed and shifted my gaze to the window, aimlessly looking at the tidely kept gardens of Furmastan.

" Why did we have to move to this area of town mum? You know whats going to happen to me right? i mean look at me!" i angrily swung my hands, showing off my body, "do you think any one will like seeing this around?"

With her peircing golden eyes she swung her greying muzzle towards me and told me skeptically " I know it will take time to settle in Harlco but theres nothing really i can do. The new job i have is great and i think i can actually keep it this time. Can you at least please try to fit in?"

I muttered something incoherently and opened the door, just as she parked perfectly in my new schools parking lot, right out side administration. "Well here your are darling, You can walk home can't you? i'll be working till 11 tonight, so keep your self safe."

I nodded dumbly, as i picked up my heavy school bag and shut the door behind me. Thoughts started entering my mind as i stepped towards the office complex, the butterflies becoming more bigger in my stomach; i felt like i was about to lose my breakfast. All i wanted to do at this moment was to turn and run home. Not to the house, but to the old city where i used to live; a place filled with humans AND furs, not just furs like this place. I wanted to be with my old boy friend, i wanted him to get me that pink iced bun he always got me at lunch every day. I wanted it all back, but having my luck, i knew i couldn't have it.

I gripped the door handle and pulled, my sweaty fingers slippery on the cold metal. I stepped inside, unaware of the few pairs of eyes staring at me. A large female pig waddled up to me, her dress awfully to tight for her. She was holding a brown wooden clip board and wore a small but plainly visible grimace; i could almost read her mind : eww, whats this?

I half expected her to say that actually.

But instead: "Harlco Jackson, classes started ten minutes ago, you should've arrived here earlier to collect your time table and your locker number. This kind of behaviour is not tollerated at Furmastan High. You should know better."

Not meeting her eyes, i shrugged, and took the small key and time table that she held out in her hoof and placed them carefully in my pocket; last year i lost my time table on the first day, and had to walk around for 2 weeks asking what they had while the school fixed up there net work.

" Mr Jackson, your first class is Information technology which is situated in room 26 in the technology block. I suggest you drop off your books in your locker before you over there."

I nodded and casually turned away, down a hall to the place where the g-m lockers were kept. i located my locker (locker 756) tucked away in the corner and started to move over to it, pulling out the small key from my pocket. I shoved it into the lock, twisted it and heard the satisfying click of the lock opening. Once done putting my belongings into my locker i made checked my school diary map, looking for room 26 on it. It wasn't there.

wtf?

i considered going back to reception to ask where the technology block was but that would be embarrising for me; so i decided just to wander down the hall ways, hoping to find some one nice to show me where to go.

'Why did i have to move to this area' i thought angrily, ' i don't belong here at all. This is not my home, and it will never be my home! i don't want to-' my day dreams were cut off abruptly as i walked straight into a chest of a larger male student. I gasped in shock and stepped back, murmuring " I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The large wolf looked at me and sighed, running his paw through his hair. " Hey it's alright, we both didn't see each other." He had a smooth tone that i didn't expect, i thought he was going to beat me to pulp. Still, not a good first impression, walking straight into a jock.

Like a few wolves, this one was almost all black, apart from a small line of grey running down his muzzle to his black nose and a patch of white down on his chest; He smiled and held out his hand, " My names Taro. Taro Hofmeister, Who are you? I've never seen you before, are you new to this school?"

I gave a small smile and met his deep brown eyes, " Yeah i am, this is my first day, can you show me where room 28 is?' My voice was very soft- very unlike me at all, usually i wasn't shy. But this, this was different.

" Yeah, sure, im just heading down to the tech block any way to send a note, come with me, i'll show you."

He indicated a hall way with his head and began walking down it. Frowning slightly i closely followed, smelling his musk in my nostrils. It was a strong scent, not gross or any thing, just different.

We walked for a bit in silence; im pretty sure he wanted to make conversation but just didn't know what to say, i think it was my appearance that shocked him. "well here we are" he smiled once more, showing off sharp white canines. This is where you wanted to go right? room 26?"

" Yeah, thanks Taro, i'll see you around i suppose," I replied almost confidently. Taro Hofmeister turned and began to walk away and was just about to turn the corner when he stopped and twirled around. " i don't think i caught your name, what is it?"

"Harlco. Harlco Jackson"

He grinned, "It's a pleasure to make your aquaintence Harlco"
