Chapter 1: An Ordinary Day
A/N: Hey everyone! This is Melodious Lone Wolf here. This is my second story ever and this is going to be a high school story. I hope you enjoy this story, please like, review, and give me as much feedback as possible, because all I want to do is give you guys a good story. I'll try my hardest to be original. Hope you like it, and I'll see you later!
P.S.- A lot of these high school stories showed the characters as anthro wolves but I'm making everyone human.
Humphrey's POV:
I woke up to the annoying blaring of my alarm that slaps me in the face every time to remind me that I'm still alive and that there is a day to be seized. "YOU WERE MY CONSCIENCE, SO SILENT, NOW YOU'RE LIKE WATER..." The alarm sang to me. It's not pleasant to get up, but at least it's to the sweet voice of Hayley Williams. I can't get enough of Paramore. Another wonderful day at high school, and another day of loneliness... My family was taken away from me when i was only an awkward preteen, and i don't have anybody left. My sophomore year barely started, and I don't have parents or my brothers to see me graduate. I knew i was going to start driving, but I had no idea that I'd have my licence by the end of my freshman year... I grew up too fast, but I'm not going to brood over it anymore. This was the hand I was dealt, so I might as well play the cards and cast everything into the wind, but i will win, this I know... I hope.
After finally getting out of bed, I soon got dressed, grabbed my crucifix from my desk, kissed it, and put it over my head. If there's anybody left for me, it's the big man in the sky. I walked into the kitchen, turned on the TV, and quickly made some scrambled eggs and toast. I gotta start my breakfast the right way every morning because that's what sets the mood of the day. This house was my parents, and whatever remained in this house that tragic day was now passed to me, but everything that's new was earned by my own work. I didn't want to let the government take away anything more than my parents debt, everything else was my problem. The government sent cash every month regardless of how much I protested against the idea, so I decided to just store the money for a really big rainy day in the future. It'll go to my kids if I die and if I actually decide to marry. If I die alone, all of my money will go to charity, no questions asked. After checking the weather and discovered that today is going to be a good one, I prepared for school. I got my backpack, essays, my breakfast was devoured, my poetry slam was completed, sheet music annotated, and last but not least, my drumsticks were all packed and ready in my stick bag. I enjoy my classes, but drumline is my biggest stress reliever and time of peace (sure it's filled with deafening noise, but it's good noise).
I walked out of my parent's house, locked the door, and climbed into my Mazda Miata convertible (thanks dad, I'll take good care of her for you) and set my backpack in the passenger seat. I revved up the engine, turned up the volume of the car's Bose sound system up, put the car in gear, swung out of my driveway, and drove to Jasper Pioneer High.
A/N: Hope you liked this first chapter. I know it seems a little boring, but I promise the annoying introductions are over. See you for the next chapter!
