[ TW: Slight cussing, mention of dating, getting a little hurt, a teacher ]


---------------- " Monday, Period 1: Quadrobics [9:00 AM] " ---------------

Vixen waved goodbye to Flicker as he walked to his class, he chose Therianthropy first. It then stood up and looked at the map it got. Quadrobics, its first class, was outside. Surprisingly, the map was actually colored and had a legend too! It looked like the quadrobics class took place on a tarmac.

Vixen took a quick glance at the map before pushing its chair in and scanning its surroundings. Several wooden signs were hung up, each pointing in different directions. One of the signs read "Tarmac". 

'I should probably head that way,' Vixen thought, double-checking the map just to be sure. After a moment, it looked up from the map and began walking towards the sign that pointed to a normal-sized wooden door. Vixen pushed the door open and exited outside.

Taking a deep breath and closing its eyes, Vixen felt the fresh, crisp air overtake its senses. With the chirping of birds and swooshing of the waves, everything felt perfect.
It looked around, taking in the forests and other biomes nearby.

Vixen sighed before opening its eyes.

"Right, gotta go to class"

It looked around before a sudden loud whistle screeched and a voice yelled,

"QUADROBICS CLASS HERE!"

Vixen snapped its head around to see the most likely teacher standing a bit far away from it.

Quickly rushing over to the teacher, it almost tripped on a stone but thankfully didn't.

"I'm here!" Vixen announces with a hand up as the teacher turns to face it. Now, Vixen could see the teacher more clearly, they wore a simple outfit, a white t-shirt and black leggings. They also had a fluffy brown tail on with a black tip and brown wolf ears. They had straight medium-length length light brown hair and amber eyes.

The sound of more people approaching snapped Vixen out of its thoughts.

"I think most of the people are here, so I'll take attendance now." The teacher stated.

Attendance didn't take that long, and soon after the teacher began showing the class around the tarmac.

"And over here-" They pointed to an area of the tarmac with barriers and hurdles "-is where you can practice jumping," The teacher said somewhat calmly.

Vixen half paid attention to the teacher and half observed its surroundings more. This just felt so... right.

Eventually, they finished the tour and the teacher dismissed everyone to try out the obstacles and do quads.

It quickly got onto all fours and glanced around before bounding over to the jumping area.

A couple of people also followed it over there, some walking, some cantering, and some full on sprinting.

While Vixen was casually trotting over, it could recognize some of the people who had also chosen to go to the jumping area. They were Charlie and Drew. Vixen paused to contemplate. 'Should I go talk to one of them? Maybe both- I meannnnn, it would probably be more fun if I hung out with someone instead of staying all lonely by myself... Hmmmm, I'll just do something alone for now'

It arrived at the jumping area but before actually doing anything, it decided to take a break and rest. Vixen was good at quads — except for the fact that it had bad stamina while doing them. It got back up on its legs and plopped down on one of the benches which were placed conveniently next to each area.

"Hey, you over there."

Another voice it didn't know. But this time they sounded... more mature and older than it I guess.

Vixen turned around to look at them, and it was right, they looked around 15 years old. "Who are you?"

"Blake. I use he/him pronouns, and I'm a bush viper," He crossed his arms and looked down at it with a curious gaze, eyes narrowed slightly.

"Oh uh cool! I'm Vixen, it/its."

"Andddd?"

"... A Vixrya." It answered reluctantly, glancing off to the side for a second.

"The fuck is that?"

"I'm Oc-kin-" Vixen clarified,

"I mean, what is a Vixrya?" He looked a bit irritated now.

"A fictional species of fox that evolved moth like characteristics," It clarified even more. To be honest, it felt a bit intimidated by his look.

"Oh. Cool. I think Drew mentioned you to me earlier," He suddenly turned around and yelled, "DREW!!"

"Wait, you know Drew?"

"Uh, yeah, we're dating."

OH. It was not expecting that, but it shouldn't say anything about it.

Anyways, more appearances now! Blake had dark-brown hair with bangs which were shoulder-length and styled pretty nicely. His eyes were a deep blue. Also, he was wearing a bright blue and green spiky snake tail. 'Hot- VIXEN WTF HE'S DATING DREW. STOP.'

Next topic — Drew heard him and got back on her legs before running over and giving him a quick hug. "What's up-? Vixen." Drew looked over at it.

"UHHH hi? I was on the same plane as you," Vixen said awkwardly while looking up at the both of them from its seat.

"Yeah, I know! Obviously,"

Vixen blinked twice, then narrowed its eyes a bit, "Oooookay, I think that's enough getting to know each other now! Imma go-" It gave a slightly forced, awkward smile before backing away. Vixen proceeded to ignore their weird looks and went over to the other side of the jumping area, away from them, because, like, awkward-

Now, surrounding it were multiple high ledges with what looked like really, really soft and bouncy mats. Supposedly to soften your landing if you choose to jump off on all fours. I mean, it looked fun so why not try it out! What's the worst that could happen?

Vixen padded its way over to the back of the lowest high ledge first, then leaping onto it easily because it was so low. 

The ledge was probably around 1m tall. It almost looked like an upside down skate ramp thing. From up here, only 1m off the ground, it still seemed really tall while looking down. With the landing mat at the bottom, it wasn't so bad. It was, however, still scary af. With a big-not-big-ish leap, Vixen jumped down off the ledge and landed on the mat. 'That wasn't so bad- OW MY WRISTS-' 

Vixen collapsed into the mattress because it was comfy while aggressively flicking its wrist to make the pain go away. It blew away a strand of dark brown hair out of its face. 'NEXTTT-'

Next one, 2m this time.  'Hopefully I don't die!' 

OOF.

"NEVER AGAIN- FUCK-"

Vixen barely landed that one, somehow. It rolled over to look up at the ledge above it. It wasn't even that tall- 'I guess I just suck at quadrobics.' It concluded, shrugging to itself in its mind.

Vixen thought it probably broke its wrists, metaphorically.

It just laid there for a while. Looks like nobody else wants to do jumping ledges or whatever it's called. Vixen was very alone. 'Oh well' Vixen decided that it probably had laid down for long enough now so it propped itself back up. Then, stood up, dusting off its pants.

'I wonder how long until the bell rings?'

Vixen got off the mats and headed back for the benches to rest. The pain in its wrists mostly faded now so yippee!

Once seated on the benches once more, Vixen took in its surroundings again. It could make out the shapes of other Therians in the distance, cantering, running, bouncing around obstacles. Or, chatting with probably friends. 'Some of them are definitely better than me at quads.' Vixen spotted Drew and... 'Oh yeah, his name is-... Uh, Blake! Yeah, Blake.' Now thinking of it, Blake was, or acted and sounded, older than Vixen, like it concluded he was around 15 before. If Vixen was on the same plane with Drew, how are they dating?! Like they were either online dating or something? Idk.

Vixen shook that thought out of its mind, 'I probably shouldn't question them'

"SQUIRREL!"

It was snapped out of its thoughts. "Squirrel..?! Where-!" Then it saw a small-ish person dashing around as people pointed at them jokingly, laughing. 'OHHHHH- Squirrel could be their name or nickname. Hopefully they're not getting bullied-'

Again, Vixen swooned over how amazing this academy is.

Another loud voice.

"Hiiiiiii!! Are you Vixen???"

'Jeez, the enthusiasm in that is crazyyyyy-'

Vixen glanced beside it and almost jumped as another body somehow teleported beside it. Oh. Charlie.

"Uhm, yeah, I am Vixen. Charlie?" Vixen shifted itself slightly to face Charlie a bit more.

"Yep that's me! I love your theriotype though, it sounds so cool! You're cool," Charlie gave Vixen a thumbs up.

It blinked, 'What.'

"Oh..! Thanks?"

"No problem!" Charlie piped up immediately, grinning.

"Why are you talking to me though?"

"Like I just said, you look cool. Soooo, I came to talk to you!"

'That's... Interesting.' It thought,

"Okay then- uh," Vixen didn't really know what to say. Like, someone was talking to it willingly without it going up to them first? Crazy. 'Oh yeah, same thing happened with Flicker. This place is so different!'

"... What's your next class?" Vixen asked, a random question that popped up in its brain.

"Still quads. I don't think we can choose anything else lol-"

Charlie got cut off.

*INSERT REALLY LOUD SCHOOL BELL RINGING SOUND!!!!*
