Without Love

Zac smiled as he got up. Being an ogre teen was hard but something had made him feel different. An image of a girl appeared in his mind and he smiled more. She was a human but he hadn't told his parents about her because he knew how they'd react. He sighed as he got showered and came downstairs for breakfast. He hated living in a swamp like his grand parents but his parents thought it was perfect for them. He then saw his father walk into the kitchen.

This made him nervous. "Did you sleep well son?" he asked him. "Yes sir. I did. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to get to school before I'm late,okay?" he said to him. "Okay. Just don't let me down." He told the boy. The boy's trumpet shaped ears drooped at that as he walked to Duloc High. He then bumped into somebody. But as he got to his feet, he saw it was her and smiled. Mir Robbins had moved to Duloc a month ago but was lonely. She tagged around with the popular kids but felt no desire to join them really. She secretly liked Zac but couldn't admit it because of the segregation of ogres from humans. If they knew how she felt, every human kid in the student body would out her as a freak and never talk to her. "I love ya Mir but I can't tell you how I feel because it's against the law and I'd be locked up or slayed and that's something I don't want to happen to me." Zac thought as he watched her walk off to high school and vanish into the human side of the grounds. He growled angrily as he joined the ogre kids on their side.

"Look who it is! Zac the captain of the basketball team crushing on a human!" one of them said as they crowded around him. "Hey, Hey! Keep it quiet, okay? I like her so shut your mouth." Zac told them as they walked into the building.

But he and Mir couldn't focus in class because they were day dreaming about each other. "I wish that dumb law separating us is gone. That way we could be together and nobody would be mad. How can they be biased when it comes to Love?" Mir thought as she walked out of the class into the corridor but the other kids were gone. Zac noticed this as he joined her. "Hey I'm… Zac. I like you but I never get a chance with you because of this segregation stuff." He told her. "I know how you feel. I really like you too. Maybe some time we can go out." Mir replied. She then looked around to make sure the coast was clear. "I'd like that a lot." He told her but his heart beat faster as she pressed her lips against his. They shared a kiss. "Wow. That… felt so good!" Zac said. "I know." Mir said as she giggled. He watched as she walked on down the hall.

But Lexi the head cheer leader had seen this. She was human and one of the popular kids. "We'll see about that you little traitor when I tell every body about this. You made a big mistake falling for Zac, a dirty, stinky ogre!" she thought…
