My mom calls up to my room.

"Joey wake up or you will be late!"

Hearing my mom's yell I sat up from my bed and groaned as I stretched my muscles; feeling the relief of a few bones cracking while doing so. I soon dash to the bathroom to prepare myself for my first day of high school. My name is Joey Thompson, and I am a white wolf with hazel eyes, and this is my freaky life.

After I finished everything I went downstairs to eat breakfast; my parents were already eating.

"Hey why didn't you wait for me?" I whine.

My mom, who is a grey wolf, lets out a giggle as she makes her reply.

"Well why don't you prepare yourself faster?" I wanted to protest, but before I could say a thing my father, who is a black wolf, interrupts me.

"Come on Joey get your ass over here and eat will you?" He said at the table while reading a newspaper, not leaving his eyes off it. I quickly sat at the table and started eating.

Once I had finished my breakfast I stood up from my seat.

"Ok Mom, Dad I got to go bye." But once as I was about to leave my mom then gives me a bone crushing hug, and then she speaks again.

"Be careful Joey ok?"

I let out a mournful sigh as I reply.

"Ok mom can you let me go, I can't breathe." She lets me go and apologies; I tell her that it's okay and then I look at the clock on the wall.

"No...Oh DAMN IT I'm Gonna be Late!" I then immediately ran as fast as I could from the house, hoping I won't be late for my first time in high school.

..........

A few tiring minutes later, I make it to school just in time. As I arrive, panting, I see to my surprise that the school is filled with all kinds of furs and dragons. I headed into the school, and I started to look for the principal office to take my things.

I found the office after about five minutes of looking, and I knocked on the door. The principal looked through the glass of her door.

"Come in Mr. Thompson I was waiting for you to arrive, I'm the principal." The principal, it seems is a yellow dragoness; I enter the office and ask a question.

"Please Miss, can you tell me where can I find my books and things?" She points to a pile of text books and exercise books, so I pick one of each up as I held them in my arms.

The principal speaks up again, "Ok Mr. Thompson you better go to your first class, it's about to start."

I nodded gently, but I was still unsure where my first class was. I wanted to ask where I could find the music class, but just then a black dragon with a shade of blue walks into the room.

"Hello, you must be the new kid, right? My name is Alex, and the principal has asked me to be your guide around school, so let me take a look at your schedule and I'll get you to your first class."

I gave my schedule, and held out my paw to introduce myself.

"My name is Joey." I said while putting on a polite smile.

The dragon then chuckles to himself as he checks the schedule, "Well-well my friend it seems that we have the same classes. So let's go, our teacher is one very cranky Doberman."

I nodded and started following him.

After a long silent walk we finally get to the music class. I stand at the door as nerves take hold of me; Alex sees my nerves and speaks.

"Ok Joey, this is the music class, so we better head inside."

I opened the door to find an old Doberman looking at me with cold eyes. With a gruff voice the Doberman speaks,"And you are?"

Instantly a lump forms in my throat, at first I can't speak, but I manage to I find my voice.

"My name is Joey Thompson sir." I could of swore that my voice just cracked, but I felt too intimidated to even care as I kept staring at the Doberman nervously.

The Doberman grins evilly and addresses the class.

"Well class it looks like young Mr. Thompson is going to play on the piano to show us what he is made of."

I give a huge and audible gulp, and I look around the room. Half of the class were giving me worried stares, but I knew that I couldn't lose it on my first class of the day. With trembling foot and paws I make my way over to the piano.

"Mr. Thompson just to make it interesting; if you play the piano badly, then the result will be embarrassment for you."

As I sit on the piano stool, a thought springs to my mind, "Am I glad that I trained to play the piano for two years thanks to my grandfather having a piano."

That was my last thought before I cleared my mind and started to play the piano. I begin to play a symphony I created a long time ago with the simple title of 'Pain'. I continue to play for couple of minutes, but the symphony I created was too big to play it all. So I needed to end it with one of the shorter endings that I had written for it.

After I finished playing I looked at my teacher to see his reaction, I almost wanted to laugh because my teacher was looking at me with a mix of shock and happiness.

With a smug grin on my muzzle I asked the question, "So how was it sir?"

The class answered for him by giving a thunderous round of applause.

The teacher then regains his composure and replies, "Well Mr. Thompson I....I I underestimated you greatly, nicely done-nicely done." He said while giving a small round of applause as well along with the class before it slowly died down and became serious again. "Now go take a seat next to Mr. Johnson who I'm guessing you met before in class."

I nodded and I took my seat next to Alex. Alex looks at me with a small smile and speaks.

"You lucky wolf, how did you do that? I mean you made our freezing cold teacher smile." He whispered as the teacher continued his lesson.

I let out a small giggle and then reply, "I'll tell you later."

..........

The bell sounded to alert us that the lesson was over. Once the bell had finished ringing our teacher called for me to his desk.

"Mr. Thompson I'm guessing that you improvised the end of that piece of music, am I right?"

I give a gentle nod, "Yes sir, to tell you the truth, it wasn't the real ending."

The Doberman chuckles to himself and makes his reply, "Aha well Mr. Thompson I hope you will play the full piece for me someday."

"Ok sir you got my word on that, is there anything else sir?"

My teacher nodded his head gently, "Firstly, my name is Mr Andrew and secondly, I wanted to know what name you gave to that symphony?"

I started heading towards the door, before leaving I turned my head and replied to the Doberman.

"It's called PAIN sir." I then walked out as I head to my next classes.

..........

I managed to survive the first couple of classes of the day. Next was lunch, and I nearly started a food fight in the cafeteria, thanks god that big bull didn't know it was me who threw that disgusting thing of what we call cafeteria food.

Then after that, I entered the girls restroom by accident it was so embarrassing. But I admit that it looked and smelled nicer than the boys restroom.

Next came my Biology class in which I met a girl husky with sky blue eyes and goes by the name of Jean. I was afraid of making a fool of myself with her, but we actually became best friends.

I let out a sigh as the last class of the day came to an end. I started walking home and all I thought of was how lucky I was for getting two best friends at once in the first day of school.

Suddenly I hear my name called, "Yo Joey, over here!"

I turn around to find both Alex and Jean following me.

"Hey guys what are you doing here?"

They both grinned and Alex answered for the both of them.

"Well Joey it seems that we all live close to school, and close to each other."

I couldn't believe my luck, both of my new friends live not far from me. This day for me just keeps getting better and better.

"So Joey we were wondering if we could come back to your house and meet your parents?"

I grinned myself and then made my reply. "Ok guys as you wish"

The three of us arrive at the house and I walk in and call out for my mom and dad.

"Mom, Dad I'm Home!"

I look around, then my mother walks towards us carrying three glasses of fresh orange juice.

"Mom how did you?"

She just chuckles and replies, "Joey I'm your mom, I know most things, so who are your friends"

I let out a small sigh and continue by giving the introductions, "Mom, this is Alex Johnson and Jean Jackson, they are both seniors at school."

She looks at both of them and then welcomes them, "Hello Jean and Alex."

They both bowed to my mom.

"Hello Mrs. Thompson" After the introductions we started talking about school stuff, but then Alex had to ask the question.

"Joey you promised to tell me how you made our teacher smile, and about that symphony!?"

Both my mom and Jean turn their eyes on me. My mom gives me her ice queen stare, while Jean just looked confused; my mom was the first to speak.

"Joey what is Alex talking about?"

But before I can open my muzzle Alex starts to explain, "Well today Joey played a really nice symphony that was amazing, and it made our Doberman music teacher, Mr Andrew, smile."

Upon hearing this, Jean looks at me with wide eyes, "WHAT? Alex you don't mean the cranky cold Doberman actually smiled?"

Alex nods gently.

"Joey you little trickster how did you do that?!?!"

"Ok Alex if you can stop so I can explain?"

Alex again nods gently and allows Joey to explain; Joey lets out a small sigh and then begins.

"Ok, three years ago I visited my grandfather's house. I started to get bored, so I started playing his piano. After that day I continued to visit him, and trained on the piano for two years. After the amount of playing time that I had, I found that I had created my own symphony; the one I played today."

My mom looks at me with a confused frown on her face and said, "Joey you never said you liked to play your grandfather's piano"

I grew nervous hearing her words.

"W...Well...You never really asked what I do at grandfather's house, so I stayed quiet."

She nods and then leaves us alone, Alex now speaks.

"Guys I got to get home now, so I will see you both at school tomorrow, and Joey thanks for everything and Jean, it was nice meeting you."

Alex leaves the house, which means that it is just me and Jean left.

Next Jean looks at me with a smirk and asked, "Hey Joey can I use your phone please?"

I handed her the phone and she called her mom.

"Hi mom it's me, I'm gonna be staying at a friend's for a bit, is that ok?" With her mother's permission given, Jean continues, "Ok thanks mom you're the best, bye."

Jean ends the call and then hands me the phone.

"So Joey can I stay a little longer, and maybe check out your room?"

She looked at me with her puppy eyes, and I just couldn't say no.

"Ok Jean but I warn you, I'm a video game lover so...."

I don't get to finish my sentence.

"It's ok Joey, I love video games too."

I nodded and we dashed to my room to start playing.

..........

After a couple of hours of playing Jean fell asleep, so I gently lay her on my bed and covered her with blankets.

My mom suddenly walks in and spoke, "Joey is Jean staying?"

I make my reply, "Nah mom I'll wake her up in an hour"

My mom smiles and then continues, "Ok son if you say so." After she said that she stretched while giving a out a small yawn. "Well I'm heading to bed now, so I will say good night."

I smile back and replied, "Good night mom."

With my mom gone I grabbed a chair and my mp3 player with its headset, and started listening to my music.

After about an hour I know that Jean needs to head home. But before I wake her, I sit there and look lovingly at her, and then I gently woke Jean up.

"Jean, it's time to wake up"

I get no response so I try a little louder

"Jean, hello it's time to get up!"

And still there is no response from her. Now I'm starting to get worried, but I decide to give it one more try.

"JEAN WAKE UP!!!"

Slowly, Jean's eyes open, and then she starts screaming like she'd seen a ghost.

"JEAN CALM DOWN, PLEASE JEAN!"

She almost kicked me in the groin, but fortunately she missed.

"JEAN WOW, Jean it's ok!"

She finally stops screaming and looks at me, then she starts crying and hugged me tight.

"Oh Joey what a nightmare I just had." As she sobbed into my chest.

I hugged her back, still trying to calm her down as my voice soothes her, "It's ok Jean, no one is going to hurt you."

Jean managed to bring her emotions back under control and stopped crying; she then looked at me as I asked if she was feeling better. I smiled at her in a loving way which brought a blush to her face as she replied "yes" and "thanks".

I looked back at Jean, "Aww Jean that's what friends are for, we can tell each other anything so you can tell me about your nightmare if you want to."

Jean's smile faded as she answered, "It... it was about you."

My eyes opened wide in shock of what she had just told me.

"What was it about?"

She hesitated a little and then replied, "It started with both of us walking home and talking about games, but then a car hits us and sends us flying. In my nightmare you died while I lived." As she said this she started crying again, so I hugged her for comfort.

"Shush, its ok Jean it's a just a horrible dream."

She stops crying again and smiles back at me, then she returns the hug.

"Thanks Joey."

I let out a sigh as I tell her that everything is ok.

"Look Jean, it's getting late, so maybe you should think about heading home?"

She gently nodded her head, but then asks,"Ok Joey but can you come with me, you know to walk me home? It will mean a lot to me."

A smile spreads across my face as I happily reply, "Sure thing I was going to walk with you anyway."

Jean giggles and then heads towards the door.

"Ok Joey, let's go."

We started walking to her house while talking about a couple of things. She then soon points towards her home.

"Well Joey there is my house"

I looked at it and marveled at how big it was. Almost like a mansion or something, but I didn't say a word. I then wish Jean a good night and she replied in kind.

I started walking home thinking of what happened that evening.

After I finally reached my house I quietly moved to my room to get some rest. I yawned as tiredness began to take hold; I was so tired that I didn't even change my clothes. I just slowly closed my eyes and went to sleep as I look forward to anther day ahead of me.
