On a mountaintop farther than the eye could see their was a school, out of sight out of mind. This isn’t a regular school, you see, it was a school of hybrids. A different type of species that was unwanted by the humans so they hid the hybrids away. There were many different types of hybrids. There were Neko, also known as cat people, or people with cat-like features, Werewolves, people with wolf-like features. Ghouls, or creatures of the night. There were also those stereotypical hybrids, such as vampires, zombie-like people, mermaid creatures-- the school's least favourite because of their background story-- and more.

People didn’t like these hybrids because they’re different and that makes people fear them. “I’m not like them, you see, I accept everyone as they are, because, well.. I’m one of them! My name is Azura Night and I’m a neko! I have cat ears and retractable claws. On top of that, when I get angry, my eyes turn red! People fear me because of that and it makes it hard to become friends with anyone. That’s why I moved here to Hybrid Hall; a place where people like me are welcome.”

As the sun rises a new day begins. It’s the start of a new school year at Hybrid Hall. “Time to go Azura!” A werewolf girl said, as she grabbed her backpack. I tumbled out of my room and stumbled into the kitchen of the dorm room to make myself some coffee. “I am so not a morning person.” I said, and made some toast, along with her coffee, of course. “I wonder if there is going to be any new kids this year! I’m so excited!” The werewolf girl said, and bounced up and down on the tips of her toes.

I laughed and said, “Not everyone is excited about school as you Sigherra. I’m honestly nervous about this school year.” Sigherra laughed and put her long, dark brown hair with red streaks into a high ponytail. “Hey, at least we’ve got cute first day of school outfits!” She exclaimed and I just rolled my eyes and smiled.

I was wearing a longsleeved shirt with black at the top and white at the bottom. I had dark blue skinny jeans with rips in the knees and black ankle boots. my cat ears had gold earrings and I wore a light shade of blue eye shadow. Sigherra wore a simple black and white top with a hood and black skinny jeans with rips in the knees, along with white ankle boots. Her werewolf ears had red tips, as did her werewolf tail, and she had bright blue eyes, sparkling with excitement and adventure.

I sighed and grabbed my backpack before opening the front door and stepping out. Sigherra ran back into her room to grab her favourite book, Frozen Charlotte, by Alex Bell, then ran out the front door, slamming into another student.

(Sigherra’s POV)

“I’m so so sorry!” The person squeaked, and helped me up. “Don’t worry about it! I wasn’t looking where I was going. What’s your name?” I asked, and smiled as I held out my hand to introduce myself. “I’m Polar Harte.” She said, and took off the hood of her icy blue hoodie. “You're a polar bear person!” I said excitedly. “Yes, that’s correct. And I see you're a Werewolf.” Polar said, and gestured towards her wolf ears.

“Who’s this?” A voice interrupted and we turned to see Azura standing there, an amused look on her face. “This is Polar!” I said, a smile on my face. “How odd.. I’ve never seen a polar bear person before. It’s remarkable, really, how many different species of hybrids there are.” Azura said.

“Let’s get going! The bell’s gonna ring soon!” Polar said and the three of us bolted down the hallway. “What’s your first class?” I asked. “English!” The three of us said in unison. “Awesome!” Polar said, and we walked to class together.

“Hello class, I’m Mrs. McCorkle!” Their teacher said with a smile as they sat down. “She seems like an awesome teacher!” Azura whispered excitedly as Mrs. McCorkle went on. “Today we're gonna get to know each other! How about a little game, shall we? I’ll ask a question and when you answer you say your name and tell me one thing about yourself.” Mrs. McCorkle said. Everyone smiled in agreement and nodded.

“Great, now, who here did something over the summer?” She asked. A neko raised her hand. “Yes?” Mrs. McCorkle asked. “Hi! My name is Reganne and I love to draw pictures and do art! I went to omaha over the summer and it was awesome!” Reganne said and pushed her curly brown hair out of her face. “Very nice!” Mrs. McCorkle said, a bright smile on her face. We went on like this for a little while until the door opened, yet no one was there. All of a sudden a girl with violet eyes and black hair with violet streaks appeared next to me. “Sorry I’m late. I had some trouble with my locker. My name is Violet Viety.” She said and sat down.

“I’m glad you’ve joined us Violet. I hope you will enjoy this class as much as I do.” Mrs. McCorkle said. “Maybe. I hope we get to write imaginative stories soon. I love writing.” Violet said and took out a notebook.

I watched as she started writing, what appeared to be a story, and she looked incredibly happy with the outcome of it. “I’ll have you know that we will be writing imaginative stories shortly.” Mrs. McCorkle said.

After class, I walked down the hallway to my next class, Social Studies. I sat down in an empty seat and took out my notebook and pen. “Hello everyone, I’m Ms. Morina, you're Social Studies teacher. We’re gonna jump right into the year with a little history.” She said with a smile. “Does anyone know why us hybrids have been hidden away?” She asked. I raised my hand.

“It’s because we aren’t like everyone else. Our features and abilities freak everyone out and cause them to fear and hate us. They cast us away in fear that we would bring harm to them like hybrids before us. The hybrids that came before us terrified them because of their wild behaviour and destructive nature. Those hybrids would destroy homes and everything that got in their way. That is why we have been cast away and hidden from humanity.” I said and the class was silent.

After a few awkward minutes of silence the teacher spoke. “Very good. And how, may I ask, do you know all this?” She asked. “It’s easy, I do research and know all about my ancestors and the generations before us.” I said. “Thank you. That’s all the time we have for today.” Ms. Morina said and glanced at the clock.

The bell rang and I went to my next class. Science. I walked in and immediately saw Polar waving me over. I headed towards her but a person blocked my way. “Hi there, my name’s Dabi. I’m a friend of Polar. Can I sit with the two of you?” She asked and her fox ears twitched. “Of course!” I said, and Dabi ran over to the seat to the left of Polar.

I sat down to the right of Polar and the teacher walked in. “I’m Coach Le. I hope you will all enjoy this class. I look forward to watching you all learn and grow in knowledge.  We will have a ton of fun this year, I hope, and I look forward to this year.” He said. Then he proceeded to tell us all about himself and what his hobbies and pet peeves are.

He gave us the rest of class to talk and get to know each other more. “So Polar, Dabi, are you two roommates?” I asked. They nodded. “What do you two do? Do you hang out, go to the mall, order pizza?” I asked. “Well…. I was wondering if you and Azura wanted to come over this afternoon for a sleepover?” Polar said. “Sure!” I replied with a smile. “We’ll be there.”

A/N: I originally had this book on my main account but deleted it because hardly anyone was reading it XD but I'm reposting it because InvisibleCerulean99 asked me to because she liked the book.
