as I looked up, in front of me sat a guy with his back towards the window, he looked at another guy that sat backwards on a chair and laughed. "Clyde, so I saw today Bellatrix on the way to school, she is such a hottie, I wish to make her mine and cuddle with her all my life," said the guy while blushing and holding his face with his hands and making weird expressions.

"You are such a creep Jules, just stop it. you are no better than all the other guys that chase after her." stated Clyde while laughing, and Jules just stared at him with sad puppy eyes. "you hurt my ego you know? I'm much more popular than all the other nerds that chase her, that's why I'm sure I have a huge chance to make her mine", said Jules.

Jules was a narcissist, from what I saw so far. He had a wavy blonde hair that was probably dyed because of the brown roots that showed up, his bangs covered his left eye and had a small curl, I wouldn't be surprised if he styled his hair for an hour before he came to school, and another hour to choose his clothes because he looked pretty fancy for a first day of school. Then a teacup black poodle got his tiny head out of inside Jule's red hoodie and stared at Clyde with his big black pearl eyes. For a moment I got touched of how cute the tiny dog was, at least until it spoke.

"Clyde is right. You suck man. Just give up on looking cool. LOSER." said the poodle with a deep voice, for a second there I could not believe such small tiny cute poodle would have such a deep manly voice like a bulky guy. But then Jules hugged the tiny dog tight, and started cuddling him, "aww your voice is even sweeter than always Cherry, say my name pretty please? or maybe say I love you?" said Jules and rubbed his face on Cherry's fluffy head. "Get your filthy face OFF me right NOW", demanded Cherry. Clyde that still sat there looked at them and laughed.

Clyde was a fine guy with a sweet smile, he had short brown hair that was the same color as dark chocolate. What got my attention most was the deep blue eyes he had and long black eyelashes, every girl would die to have such features. Clyde didn't look girly, on the other way he looked quiet manly. And as I was lost in thoughts while staring at Clyde, something jumped towards me and I instinctively dodged while leaning back and lost balance. As I was about to fall back someone caught my chair from behind. When I looked up, above me was a guy with long blonde hair combed in a bun and clear blue eyes that reminded me of Swarovski crystals.

"Are you alright? That was pretty close, I'm glad I caught you in time," said the guy and had the sweetest smile I ever saw. He pushed my chair back to how it should have stood and I sat there mesmerized and my face burned of embarrassment. I glanced once more at the tall guy as he walked towards Clyde and Jules.

"sup man, took you long enough to reach school. Did you feed the birds in the park again?" giggled Jules as he picked the poodle off my desk, and then stared at me for a moment, "sorry dear, didn't meant to surprise you there, just don't fall for me. I may look perfect but my heart already given to someone else." said Jules dramatically ,and it almost made me throw up. Clyde bursted in laughter, "Jules, you should land back on earth. what surprised her weren't your looks but Cherry. Just look at the poor girl's expression, she is totally creeped out by you. Right Berwyn?" Clyde looked over at Berwyn that grabbed a chair and sat by Jules.

"I don't know, but I'm sure it's rude of you to talk about her and call her 'girl'." stated Berwyn calmly and looked over at me, " what's your name?" he asked me with his sweet voice. I blushed once again, "AVIS! ... I mean Avis Spero." I said awkwardly and Berwyn once more smiled at me, "Avis is a pretty name." his comment made me blush even more. I looked down at the animal that cuddled by my feet, a white wolf, It was much bigger than an ordinary dog. "Oh, don't get scared, he is friendly for his size." said Berwyn, "his name is Icy".

I was about to pet the wolf when Monte climbed over my shoulders and jumped on the desk. "Were you about to pet a dog Avis? If you are gonna pet a filthy smelly dog than please wash your hands before you touch me." said Monte while hissing at the white wolf. Icy on the other hand just stared back at him with cold blue eyes and kept on cuddling by my legs, as if trying to make Monte mad. Cats and dogs indeed don't get along. Monte sniffed the air and looked at Jules, "What's worse than three smelly dogs around is a guy with too much perfume on." said Monte and sneezed, then everyone including me started giggling while Jules's cheeks got scarlet red.

I'd love to talk to them more but the bell rang and everyone sat in their seats. the next two lectures were all about the contract animals and how we should take care of them. The first time you get your contract animal is when you reach age of ten, that's when you have a stable Industria, When your parents notice that you are ready for a contract they would bring you to the facility that's called 'ContractAnimalInc' that is a place where they breed animals. It's important for every kid at the age of ten to get a contract animal because it's what gives them a potential as a Magum.

*~(words such as Industria, Magum, contract animal and etc, will be explained at the end of the chapter)~*

The process of picking a contract animal is simple. A worker leads you to a room where they check what type of animal family is best suited for your Industria, the next room they are leading you to is the family type room of animals, there are more than 20 rooms and in each of them different animal family. In my first visit they led me to the room with the Felidae family(cats), the room was divided by three genuses. First was the small cats and domestic cats. The other were lions, tigers, jaguars and leopards. Last one were panthers and cougars, these are the elite contract animals.

They lead me first to the contract animals that need most Industria to form a contract and then had to lead me to the others if my Industria wasn't enough for the animals, for me I passed right away when a small puma pup approached me and licked my hand, then a light surrounded us and we formed a contract. A contract can't be broken, you'll have to spend all your life with the contract animal and you can't change him for another one. The contract animal is the one who has to chose you, not the other way.

The class ended and I was about to leave and grabbed my backpack, then Clyde turned and stared at me, " going to the cafeteria Avis? let me treat you as an apology, just wait a minute for the others to get their stuff." he said cheerfully as he put his notebook in his backpack. I didn't notice his animal earlier because it was underneath the table, but as Clyde got up a gray wolf followed him, as well as Jules and Berwyn and their animals. I held back a laugh as they all walked in a row through the narrow path between the tables, they reminded me of a goose family.
