A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
Chapter One
By KellyQ
A young teen raced down the school hallway of Space Academy. He had midnight blue hair that hung down his face like a broken open umbrella. The rest of his hair was pulled in a low ponytail. He had bushy black eyebrows and big lime-green eyes filled with energy and wonder. He wore a blue vest over his red short sleeve shirt, brown fingerless gloves and white pants that went down to knees.
His blue sneakers made some noise as he ran, drawing attention from other students.
"Sorry! Coming through!" He said sheepishly. "Pardon me!"
Most of the students in the hallway were not human. Space Academy was filled with all sorts of creatures from different planets. Most of them looked humanoid, but their faces and clothing gave it away that they were different.
"You need to slow down, Kaz!" some of the students warned him.
"Sorry! But I'm looking for the new transfer student—have you seen him? I heard that he's an earthling and I so want to meet him!" Kaz was jogging in place and he looked determined to meet the new earthling. However, with what little information he had, it was going to take him longer than he hoped.
"Nope. Haven't seen any other humans besides you and your other human friends," a fox answered. He had a head of a fox, but the rest of his body looked human. He had blue eyes, red hair and yellow fur. He wore a white tunic, black pants and black boots.
Kaz stopped all together and groaned. He was hoping that someone would've found the new student by now. I'm not going to give up until I meet him, Kaz thought. He didn't mind being in space and meeting new lively—and energetic creatures. Kaz was so wrapped up in his own excitement he failed to realize that the bell had rung for lunch. Stood there for a moment watching more students fill the hallway. His face lit up. The lunchroom, of course, Kaz thought. He took off down the hallway and skated to a stop outside the cafeteria. Kaz opened the door and walked in. The cafeteria was noisy and filled with students that lingered. The line for getting lunch was filled with a lot of students, eager to get lunch.
The room was as big as a gymnasium filled with bleachers. Kaz glanced around as he walked further down the aisle. He was about to give up when movement got his attention. Kaz turned to see a sleek male teen sitting in a far corner all by himself. It was hard for Kaz to have a good look at him because of the shadows, but from where he was standing, he found the new earthling.
Kaz's face lit up. Found him! He started to make his way through the crowd. The closer Kaz got the better view of the new transfer student. He had bright yellow hair shaped like a cut up lime. The front of his hair curved around each side of his cheeks, and his bangs brushed to the right. His thick dark yellow eyebrows pointed up and out like checkmarks. He wore a white and gray zipped up vest over his blue short sleeve shirt. Black fingerless gloves, and off white pants. The white boots he wore went up to his ankles. The last detail that didn't go unnoticed was his red eyes filled with confidence and power.
Kaz waisted no time to sit next to the new student. "What's up?" he brawled, eyeing the new teen. "You are an earthling!"
The blond haired teen turned his head and closed his eyes. "So what if I am."
"This is great!" Kaz jumped up and pumped his fist into the air. "I finally get to see another earthling like me!" As he talked, the blond-haired teen shifted in his chair feeling a little uncomfortable being called an earthling. Kaz then cleared his throat and jabbed his thumb to himself. However, the one thing he failed to notice was that the new transfer student got up to leave when he started to speak. "Yo! I'm Kaz Gordon! I'm an earthling like you! Huh?" He turned to see the blond haired teen making his way out the door. "Hold on, dude!" Kaz was confused why the new earthling was leaving. "Tell me your name at least!"
A sigh escaped from the back of the blonde-haired teen's throat. "It's Shiro Sutherland. And I'm more of a stand-alone guy."
With that, Shiro walked out, leaving Kaz standing there with his thoughts.
The rest of the day Kaz couldn't get Shiro out of mind. He relayed the whole thing a couple of time in his head trying to figure out why Shiro would want to be all alone and have no earthling friends.
"It doesn't make any sense," he whispered to himself. He leaned against the wall and glanced around the room. Kaz knew most of students in the class—gym class, and their teacher, a strict, muscled crocodile named Dile coached the class.
The door at that moment opened and Dile walked in followed by Shiro. The class became silent when they saw him. Kaz blinked a few times before his face lit up when he saw him.
"Shiro!"
