Karma's Fate

New Beginning, Chpt. 1,

Introduction

Today was the day. No more constant nagging from my parents or those shackles that held me back during high school. Today was the day I, Cody Kane, officially join Humble's Special Academy and become a college student. I entered academy's large doors and walked through the long corridor of the school.

I was fascinated to see many new freshmen line up through the doors of classrooms all eagerly excited, and nervous, to start a new chapter in their life. I knew everyone here at least had a good time in highschool. They lived everyday of highschool as if it were their last, knowing this day would come. I was relieved to start anew, but I didn't want to be reminded of my high school past.

In high school, I was treated differently. I was always depressed and didn't even care about anything that would happen to me. I would always look like I've just been beat up and not even bother to get dressed or ready properly. People saw me as abnormal and weird because I was anti-social and awfully quiet. I managed to get steady grades and make a couple of friends, but most of them were douches. My parents constantly nagged at me on how low I'm doing in school and how I should socialize a lot more. They told me to study harder though that was all I did every single day. The only thing that would help me was writing. I adored writing. I would write action, adventurous, and even love stories to calm my self and put my self at ease. I even sometimes wrote poems to release all those emotions I have held in.

Since I left, I didn't mind it too much. Finally, I would be able to leave the shackles that have held me for the past 4 years of my life. I mean look at me, I got a new look and new attitude. I wasn't as depressed as I use to be, and I seem more enthusiastic. I look all cute and handsome, and even my fur's straightened up and some what fluffy for the first time in a long time. (Seems girlish, I know. My parents always tell me to look like my brother. We're all wolves and she tells me I look like a cat, though I cease to care.) I'm glad either way. Maybe in this new chapter of my life, I could make these 4 years meaningful and memorable so I can look back when I'm older and remember the good or bad times I would have here.

As I was walking around the academy, exploring it's fascinating secrets, I decide to take a a deep breath. I stop and take a deep breath, holding it in for a few moments, then exhaling it all at ease. The air here was favorable, calm, and clean. I decide to continue walking and look at the brochure to help me explore the academy further.

As I turn the corner, I accidentally stumble into someone. *Bump* I stumble back and look forward. I look up towards them and see a big figure. It was a german shepherd. He was tall, muscular, and quite the handsome one too. As I looked at him, I could see a large brown stain of coffee on his shirt. 'Crap!' I thought to myself. 'What have I done?'

I wanted to say something, but I couldn't help but stare into his beautiful, soft blue eyes.

I think immediately snap back to reality.

"Oh I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you! I was pay attention to my brochure and I didn't lo-"

I was going to finish my sentence but the large dog (A german shepherd) decided to cut me off.

"Watch where you're going asshole! You just made me spill coffee on my new shirt!" He screams at me with an angry tone. My ears then immediately flatten, and I put my tail down between my legs.

He could see my facial expression and starts feeling guilt. He then shoves me aside, grumbles at me, and walks away.

'That never happened before..' I said to myself.'Great I thought to my self. It's going to be Highschool all over again.. There goes my new chapter at life.

I keep walking forward, thinking about how Karma's a bitch to me. Literally being here for 5 minutes and something goes wrong immediately. "Maybe It won't be so bad." I said to myself, trying to make myself feel better. As I continue walking, I could feel my body doesn't have the same enthusiasm feeling as I had when I entered the academy.

I then start to remember my old Highschool memories. I still remember those hateful facial expressions I saw as I walked down the hallway. How I was an outcast for no damn reason, how the shackles of loneliness over swept me for the past 4 years. But this isn't like highschool. I still have hope of achieving a stable, normal life as a normal wolf.

This really wasn't the worst thing that had happened to me. I can cope. I just need to clear my mind and begin my new Chapter. Remove all the negative thoughts and just think about the future. Maybe some settling in and some peace and quite'll help.

"Maybe Karma can finally take it's toll and actually prove it can always be greener on the other side." And with that, I decided to go find my apartment complex.

=======================

After a while of trying to look, I couldn't find it. "Well that's final, I'm officially last." I then glanced at the map again to make sure I was in the correct area.

"So much for the map they provided me 100 times." I decided to give up looking at the map and just trusted my sense of direction.

I then started wondering about how my new apartment would look like. Should I unpack or just go to sleep and unpack later? I should probably clean it up first. Who knows what the last roommates did in there. Questions started racing my mind, and I could feel my stomach grumbling. Seems I'm hungry. Might as well grab some grub since I'm possibly lost.

With that, I start walking off to the nearest restaurant I could find on the map. To make sure I was going the right way, I asked a few people who seemed to know this area very well. I then walk off with the directions I got, and manage to find the restaurant; well cafe, rather quickly.

As I entered the small cafe, I could smell the welcoming scent of sweet coffee and small cakes. I then started to look around the cafe. The walls had a rich, creamy-white color to it and the decorations gave an unusual aura to it which made it feel very welcoming. He decided to look at the small menu above the counter and examine what he wanted. It seemed like a fancy place. The menu was beautifully decorated in lavender purple which gave it's beauty to the sign, and the words looked very formal, mainly in cursive. He knew since he was a writer, cursive was his friend. He then went toward the counter and ordered a small coffee to satisfy me a bit.

"That will be $4.95 please" The young female otter asked.

I quickly pulled out my wallet and handed her a $5. After I received my change, I decided to quickly seat myself.

I found a small table and decided to seat myself there. I then decided to grab a little magazine from one of the tables and read it.

The counter waitress then soon came and handed me my coffee and I politely said 'Thank you' and gave her an extra tip. She smiled at me and walked back to the counter.

I then started sipping my coffee whilst I read the magazine. The magazine was mainly about the college nearby (Which I was attending) and the apartment complexes. I then started looking in the apartment complex section and found a map of my apartment. Since I was lost, I decided to take the map with me when I was done here.

I then finished my coffee and left the cafe swiftly. I looked at the map, and used my sense of direction. With the map and my sense of direction, I found my apartment complex in no time. I then walk towards the apartment complex.

As I made my way toward the entrance of the complex, I let out a sigh of relief. So, this is my new home. I was grateful to get here without anything else going wrong. Now, all I have to do is find my room and walk in.

I then pulled out a small sheet of paper with information on it. I remembered I was put into a roommate programship that I applied for. The program helped me with financial issues, and a lot more. So I was basically staying in for free, a little bit. I then went over my information about my room and roommate.

"Hmm, Mark Huntley. Quite the handsome name" I said to myself. "This might be good. If he's in the room, he'll let me in." It won't be that bad. I'm just hoping I won't get nervous talking to him and mess up socializing with him.

I quickly go door-to-door trying to find my room. I then find my apartment, shown by a sign left to the door, in bold, black letters read "616" just as it says on the small sheet of paper.

I stand in front of the door, my tail wagging in excitement. I wonder what kind of person he will be. Will he be the perfect knight in shining armor? So many questions ran through my mind, but I then got the courage to knock on the door.

My whole body then twitched of excitement. I could hear the heavy footsteps approach the door. I started then started feeling anxious.

I then just stood there with excitement, as the door slowly opened....
