Tigre Love
Chapter 1- instincts
I was walking my way to the Arcade, to meet my best friend, Frida. "Hey dude!" she said. "What's up, Frida?" She shook her head. "The usual I guess." Frida glanced at her watch. "Holy Churros! Manny, we're going to be late!" With a spin of my belt buckle, I transformed in to El Tigre. "Not on my watch chica!" After that I picked her up, and ran to school.
As she clung to my neck, she started to nuzzle in to my fur. It felt uncomfortable in a way. But an amused purr, accidently slipped out. When I put Frida down, she was blushing. "Frida, we…uh… need to hurry to class." In class, I sit next to Zoey Aveas, also known as the Black Cuervo. "Hola Manny!" Zoey said in a charming way. "How are you today?" To finish it off, she brushed the side of my face. "Fine as usual." I answered.
The bell finally rang. Everybody was rushing home. Except for Zoey and Frida. Who, as usual, were fighting. "Hey guys!" I said. "YOU ARE NOT TO TOUCH HIM!" Frida shouted. Then she turned, when she saw me, Frida turned red. "Oh hi Manny." She said embarrassed. Zoey, on the other hand, came up to me. She kissed me on the cheek. "Adios mi amour. See you tomorrow." With that, she walked off, leaving me drooling at the sight of her. Zoey was 15 just like me and Frida. Her hair was flipped up at the bangs revealing her other beautiful, pink eye, to match the other one. "Manny!" Frida shouted, bringing me back to reality. "Wha? Oh….uh…Frida. You saw that, didn't you." As sad as I sounded. She was angry. Zoey is her arch enemy. But here I was, looking after her like no tomorrow. "Yeah I did but, I forgive you!" She said with a smile. I knew I was forgiven.
"I'm dying of boredom!" Frida whined. I just glared at her. "I won't use my Tigre form just to take you to vandalize the school!" Frida looked confused. "Please! Or you chicken?" That got to me. No Rivera is a chicken. "Alright, I'll do it."
We were on the roof top of the school. My tail was swishing back and forth. "Are we going to destroy the school or not!?" I shouted. "No, Manny. We are going to fight chimps." Frida said, sarcastically. She was getting ready to go down when someone said something. "Frida! What are you doing here?" We turned to see Black Cuervo. "Hola Manny. I thought I find you here on a Saturday." Frida was mad. Even madder when she saw my tail has stopped swishing. "Zoey! You knew I was going to spend time with Tigre today!" Zoey just started to laugh. "I knew you love him! You just admitted it." Black Cuervo came towards me. I was to shocked to move. But then Frida hit Cuervo. "Frida! Don't do that. My tiger instincts will kick in." I warned. Frida stopped. Recalling the last time I lost control. The only thing I thought was 'kill'. After that, Zoey left.
Sunday morning, Papi and Grandpapi were having their 'coffee conversation.' It stopped when I sat down. "Mijo, what is wrong?" Papi asked. "Chyes what is wrong?" Grandpapi added. I let out a sigh. "It's Frida. She's in love with me." Papi and Grandpapi starred at each other. "Uh gotta go save/steal people/money." They both said and ran off. Later that day, Frida came over. "Hola Manny!" Frida said happily. "Hi Frida." I sounded sad when I said that. I smacked myself mentally. "Are you alright?" When I looked up, she was centimeters away from my face. Frida spun my belt buckle. The usual green fire engulfed me. "Frida? What are you doing?" She just stared at me. "You look hotter in your El Tigre form. Also I just love your emerald eyes." She said, getting closer. I was ready to protest when she kissed me. Frida's sweet scent filled my nose. I pulled away quickly. "Frida, chikita, I only like you as a friend." This upset her. "I knew you liked Zoey. I understand." With a sigh of relief, I started to purr.
Frida looked confused. It was after school and I was in my El Tigre form. "Manny, who are you waiting for?" Before I answered I looked both ways. "Zoey, we have a date." I replied. "Oh." That was all she said. Minuets later, Zoey arrived. "Hola mi amour." She whispered in to my ears. Then I sweetly kissed her on the lips. She wrapped her arms around my neck. Then she pulled back. I swear I saw her glance at Frida.
Cuervo started to nuzzle in to my fur. Making my tail twitch wildly, and made me purr so loud Frida got mad. "Ah! Manny you purr louder for her. But when I nuzzled in to you all I get is a 2 second purr!?" Frida looked as if she was about to cry. Then with a flash of anger, I put myself between the two. With flattened ears, I let out a heart stabbing growl.
"You growled at me!" Frida said with anger. "STOP! You're going to make him lose control!" Zoey said. But it was to late. Snarls started to ripped from my chest. Zoey took my face in her hands, trying to call me down. "Mi amour, remember who you are." She said sweetly. It worked slightly, but my attention was on Frida. Cuervo's smell intoxicated my nose calming me down more. I turned to her. "Mi amour!" I said. "I'm so sorry for losing control." My tail along with my ears sagged. She started to kiss me. I took control. My ears perked up to the sound of crying. "M-M-Manny, how could you?" Frida said. I looked confused. "You growled at me. Almost kill me. Then apologize to Zoey!" She shouted. "Frida, it was your fault." I started "I-I don't think we can be friends anymore." Frida threw a rock at me. This started my instincts again. I unsheathed my claws and attacked.
The blood made me more tiger like. I was blood thirsty, but I stopped and stared at her. "Why Tigre?" She whimpered. "Because you hate me now, and I'm in love with Zoey." So I walked off. Purring with amusement. Wondering what it would be like dating Frida made me start snarling. It would be a year before I talked to her again. I guess I'll have to wait and see what's in stored for me. As the new supervillian, El Tigre.
