Title: Chapter 4; School's A Start
Ely's PoV
The radio blasted Fall Out Boy into my ear.
"And sugar were going down swinging! I'll be you're number one wig a bullet... A loaded God Complex cock it and pull it!" The last line sang and then voices started. I hit the alarm clock and rolled over. I was on a sleepy daze for ten minutes until the alarm shot commercials around the house. Danny stormed in slamming his hand on the clock.

"Would you, please not let that thing play so loud?!" He hissed at me.

"It wakes me up." I shrugged.

"It hurts my ears!" Danny yelled back. I rolled my eyes. I sat up and rubbed my eyes, taking away the built up goober.

"Did mom go to work already?" I asked while yawning.

"Afraid so," Danny nodded. "She made breakfast though. Hurry up and get ready for school." He grumbled and walked out. I rolled my eyes and stood. I first grabbed school uniform.

I pulled on my dark grey sports-bra (cuz screw regular ones), then my grey shirt, Black over shirt- I left it unbuttoned, my black skinny jeans that perfectly hugged my body, my black socks, my black combat boots-yes a lot of my stuff is black. Just like my soul! I also wrapped a light sweater which was black with a white design on it. I put on my music bracelet. I stuffed my PE shoes into my bag and pulled that on too. I then brushed through my fur-coat-ish-hair and put on my beanie. My tail hid under my shirt. I put my phone and wallet into my pocket then went to get breakfast.

"So what's for food?" I asked waltzing into the kitchen. Puppy was eating from her food bowl.

"Mom made... Eggs and ham." Danny said, examining his dish. I got a bowl and slowly ate it. We didn't say anything my phone buzzed in my pocket.

Instagram: car.mine.2469: hurry up ;-;

I'm coming, jeez! Hold your horses. XP

"Thanks for breakfast." I muttered, scooping up the rest of my food. I stuffed it into my mouth and put my dish in the sink. I walked to the door, "later." I waved and walked out. Carmine was waiting outside impatiently. "Miss me?" I teased hurrying over.

"You take forever!" She, wait he, man forth chapter in and I'm still getting the pronouns wrong! I mean it is the next day and all, but man am I a Shitty person?

Braking the forth wall is my thing! No fair!

Whoops, sorry Heaven. Back to the story,
"You take forever!" He whined flipping his arms in the air. I snickered.

"Excuse me~!" I teased, grinning.

"There is no excuse for you!" He smiled. I fake pouted and crossed my arms.

"Right in da heart!" I whimpered as we started walking. The school wasn't far, so we were there in a matter of minutes.

I kept my head down, I stared at the ground. I could easily hear people muttering.
"Look its that freak girl and her loser friend..." Someone said.
"I'm surprised they show their faces at all..." Another muttered. More insults were being muttered. A rock was thrown at Carmine, I quickly stepped in the way; blocking it. A girl stormed in front of us, not letting us pass. Others joined and formed a circle.

"We know both of you're guys's secrets!" The girl hissed pointing at us. "You creepy trans bitch!" She went to smack Carmine. I grabbed her wrist, my grip deadly just like my stare.

"Don't you ever call my friends that. Don't Call anyone that." I growled.

"Dog freak!" Someone else yelled, "let go of Vanessa!" They yelled going to hit me. Carmine blocked that.

"Don't you dare." He hissed. The circle tightened around us, people obviously ready for a fight. Then gasps were heard around the school yard. The group slowly followed everyone's gaze giving us the perfect opportunity to slip out. Which is what we did. We hid behind a tree and watched what was happening.

A boy with curled at the end, Brown hair and muddy brown eyes was walking through the school yard. He had both hands in the pockets a bag wrapped to the side and a huge smirk on his face. His eyes were also closed. He was looking at the ground.

"The boy from last night..." I muttered, giving a small gasp. Carmine looked at me confused. "I'll explain later." I assured, watching the scene. The boy stopped in front of the terrible group.

He looked up at them confidentially, "you really shouldn't pick on people." He brushed his hair back from one eye with one hand, the other remained in his pocket. He had a cocky smirk on his face. "Especially not someone who could easily take you down, like those two lovely ladies." He pointed over to our hiding spot. CARMINE ISN'T A GIRL ASSHOLE! AND YOU REVEALED OUT HIDING SPOT! WE ARE GONNA HAVE A PROBLEM! I heard Carmine sniffle and I frowned, stepping out.

"Who said we were females?" I yelled at him. His face flushed in embarrassment, I smirked. That's what you get.

"Well people, sorry." He corrected himself them returned to the group. "My name's Alex." He offered his hand. The confused Vanessa slowly shook his hand.

"Vanessa..." She mumbled, obviously blushing. I pulled Carmine inside, away from the scene. He looked really upset. I gave him a hug at my locker.

"Hey, it's okay." I promised, "people are just dumb and if they can't accept you for you then they don't deserve you." I released him and put a hand on his cheek. He gave me a small smile between sniffles. "It's okay..."

"Thank you, Ely." Carmine said shakily. I smiled brightly and gave a not-So-good-salute.

"Anything for you, sir." I winked and released my stance. Carmine giggled which made me grin. "I did it! I did it!" I chanted, trying to sound like Markiplier as I bounced around in a circle.

"Did what?" A familiar sort-of-deep voice asked, we looked over to see Alex. My eyes narrowed at him.

"Do you really care?" I asked sounding more rude than I intended. Alex just smiled.

"Very much so." He then looked at Carmine. "I sincerely apologize for getting your pronouns wrong, my friend." He did a mini-bow. "What pronouns shall I use?" He stood strait.

"H-he... They pronouns... P-please..." Carmine mumbled, confused. He was blushing. I smirked.

"Alright, sir. And for you?" Alex. asked, looking over at me.

"She and her." I answered with a small shrug, my hands remained in my pockets.

"Alright, Madame." Alex grinned at himself.

"W-what pronouns would you prefer?" Carmine chimed in. Alex seemed surprised then he rubbed his neck, bushing nervously.

"They and them..." He-they-oh god not again... They quietly said. Carmine smiled brightly.

"As you wish, my friend." He did a mini bow.

"A'ight." I agreed, "just a warning though I use bro, man, and dude a lot when I talk to people in general. I shall try to say 'person' though." I raised my right hand. Alex laughed.

"Okay!" He gave a bright closed-eye-smile. I returned it with a small one. The bell went off causing me to jump.

"Stupid bell..." I grumbled then turned towards where I was headed. "Later, Alex." I waved and walked off with Carmine right by my side. "Looks like we might of actually made a new friend!" I grinned widely at him.

"Yeah..." He seemed in a daze. My hand wave in his face.

"Carmine. Are you with us Carmine?" I didn't give him a chance to reply, "guess not. Looks like I get the Oreo's today!" I squeaked tip-toe running. I was hugging the wall because the hall was crowded. I could hear the mean murmurs, but I was having fun so I ignored them.

"Nuh-uh!" Carmine whined, hurrying after me. We made it into the classroom at the same time.

"Dang it!" I whined, "I guess we have to share." I winked walking to my normal back-of-the-room-seat. Carmine sat besides me. He took a bag from his bag and pulled out an Oreo. He broke it in half and went to hand it to me when someone slowly snatched it. I looked up to see Miss. L.

"You guys promised to share!" She smiled, eating it. Miss L is our art teacher, she is my first period and one of the funniest people I know. She also tried to be 'hip' as she calls it even though she's not very young. No one but me really likes her.

"Aww!" I whined. Carmine chuckled and put the bag away. Miss. L went to start the class. The tardy bell went off causing the school day to begin!
