Hello and this is the first chapter of Love: A wild adventure. I hope you enjoy it and please no flames. When you're done reading, I would be delighted if I got any helpful criticism. The time is in the end of the school year when Humphrey is a senior.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Humphrey woke up to find himself in his king sized bed. He pushed the soft covers off him and looked around himself.

"What the-?" he questioned. He reached the table beside him to shut his alarm off only to find it wasn't there.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Yawning, Humphrey found his alarm clock on the floor and shut it off.

The door opened and a middle- aged wolf (and I mean 60 human years) stuck his head in.

"Master Humphrey, your shower is ready," the middle-aged wolf said bowing.

"Thank you, Alfred," said Humphrey. Alfred bowed and shut the door.

Humphrey yawned, rose from his bed, and went to the bathroom.

At the bathroom, Humphrey peeled his clothes away and stepped in the shower that was activated by his appearance. Humphrey scrubbed the grime form himself and enjoyed the hot water that glazed over him. After he was done he brushed his teeth and scrubbed his tongue like his mother always forced him to do before she was killed. Humphrey rinsed his mouth grabbed his towel and went to his room to get clothes. After dressing up and drying his hair, he went downstairs to see his breakfast of eggs, sausages, and waffles with syrup on them. Alfred was there with a teapot.

"Tea sir?" asked Alfred.

"Thank you Alfred," said Humphrey kindly as Alfred poured lemon tea into his cup. Alfred bowed before retreating to the living room which was huge.

Humphrey ate his breakfast swiftly and then wiped his mouth with his napkin. He checked the time on his phone which he made himself using the body of an iPhone.

"Hello Mac," Humphrey said to his phone. Humphrey phone lit up and a voice answered.

"Hello Humphrey," a computer in the iPhone said. "What do you want to check?"

"The time please," commanded Humphrey.

"As you wish my creator," said Mac and it showed the time: 6:45 am.

"Thank you Mac, goodnight," said Humphrey and the iPhone shut off.

"Still got 25 minutes huh?" Humphrey thought to himself. "Better check my bag."

So Humphrey checked his bag to make sure he had everything for school. There were colored pencils just in case, a few erasers, pencils, notebooks, binders, and other tools to help him including his mini laptop. Humphrey checked the time again: 6:50.

"Better hurry to school," Humphrey thought and he headed to the garage. He found his car, a black Camaro zl1 with a white stripe down the middle surrounded by other cars that were covered in blankets. Humphrey opened the garage and rode out of it closing the garage door. Humphrey drove to school.

At school he parked his car and went to the school entrance to find his best friends, Shakey, Mooch, and Salty.

"Hey guys!" yelled Humphrey.

"Hey!" Salty said greeting him first before the other two did.

There was a loud engine roar and Humphrey turned to see a Cadillac Escalade driving in. He saw the driver to be Garth.

"Dirty low life scumbag," Salty muttered darkly under his breath.

Garth drove into a parking spot and revved the engine getting other wolves attention.

"Show off," scoffed Shakey.

Humphrey growled before seeing a red Corvette Stingray come in followed by a blue Ferrari 458 Italia.

When those two cars parked, the drivers came out of them and Humphrey's heart stopped. It was Kate and Lilly.

Humphrey's heart melted at the sight of Kate and her beautiful amber, golden fur as she got out of the Corvette. His heart though went up in flames when Garth came out of his car and kissed Kate. Humphrey's jaw locked and he gritted his teeth in fury. He was so angry though that he didn't notice the bell ring. The second he notice the bell though, Humphrey ran like the wind to his first class which was math.

In math the whole class was working on the new assignment the teacher gave them except Humphrey because he was two homework assignments ahead. So Humphrey asked his teacher, Mr. Jingles, if he could play games on his phone.

Mr. Jingles, who was extremely kind said yes. Other kids glared and scoffed at Humphrey as he played on his phone with a happy look on his face.

Kate, who was three desks away from Humphrey, was struggling with the last problem. When she saw Humphrey who was playing on his iPhone, she raised her hand.

"Yes, Miss Kate?" asked Mr. Jingles.

"Mr. Jingles, can I get some help from other people?" asked Kate, her voice hopeful.

"Well sure!" said Mr. Jingles with enthusiasm.

Kate thanked Mr. Jingles and went quietly to the empty seat next to Humphrey.

Humphrey who was playing his game sensed someone was looking at him and he turned his head. When he saw Kate, he dropped his phone and had to stoop quickly to catch it. Straightening up, he saw Kate look at him with a puzzled look.

"Yes?" Humphrey asked kindly, ignoring the thumping in his chest.

"Um… can you help me with the last problem on the worksheet Mr. Jingles gave us?" Kate asked.

"Sure," Humphrey said smiling. Kate smiled back warmly and Humphrey stomach did a back flip.

5 minutes later…

"There, the problems done," said Humphrey smiling.

"Wow, thanks Humphrey, I never knew you were this smart," Kate said, amazed.

After that the whole class was done, everyone started to chatter about their day until Mr. Jingles called for their attention. Mr. Jingles said they had a test, and usually the whole class would groan but no one could bring themselves to do that since Mr. Jingles was easy on them and did not pressure them.

The test though, to everyone's relief was easy and when everyone was done, Mr. Jingles was grading the papers. In the last fifteen minutes, everyone was talking to their friends but not yelling. Since Humphrey's friends did not share any of the classes with him besides the free period, Humphrey just quietly played on his phone by himself, a lone wolf. Not that Humphrey minded.

After fifteen minutes, Mr. Jingles announced that everyone scored one hundred percent, so therefore there will be no homework for the day. Everyone cheered and the whole class kept on yelling "Best teacher ever! Best teacher ever!" Then, the bell rang.

In the school hallways, everyone was chattering and talking to their friends. Humphrey was talking to Salty when someone pushed past him. It was Garth with Can-do. Hutch wasn't there which made Humphrey believe Hutch was sick. Garth smirked before walking away. Salty flicked Garth off from behind his back and Humphrey chuckled.

Humphrey then went to P.E, which was outside in the field and said goodbye to Salty.

In P.E, Ms. Rouge said that the class would be doing an exercise at their own pace. Everyone was surprised since Ms. Rouge usually had a list of things for them to do but no one complained. Everyone did a different exercise. Some did sit-ups, other did pushups, some wolves stretched, other wolves ran laps, and other wolves did fast-paced jump rope. There were also a chin-up bar, but almost no wolf in Humphrey's class was exactly fit, except Kate.

Humphrey was doing pushups by himself when something hit him on his back and water splashed all over him. He was drenched to the bone with ice cold water. Some kids who saw this laughed at Humphrey. Humphrey looked up to see Garth on the roof of the school with a water balloon in his hand. (The area where Humphrey was doing pushups is a bit closer to the school and remember, Garth is a football player so he can throw far.)

"Garth Moore!" Ms. Rouge screamed. "Get out of here before I take you to the principal!"

Garth caught the message and still laughing, walked away.

Everyone was looking at Humphrey who was drenched. Some guys snickered and some of the girls giggled.

Annoyed, Humphrey took off his shirt and strained his shirt. He kept on straining it when he noticed the silence. He looked around and everyone was staring at his stomach. Humphrey looked down and saw that everyone was staring at his abs.

Humphrey smirked and decided to show off. Going to the chin-up bar, he started to do chin-ups at an even pace. Humphrey kept on doing that for the whole P.E period.

After the P.E period, Humphrey's shirt was dried so he put it back on. Next was English period.

English period to Humphrey was so fun since the teacher gave them fairly easy topics and when there was nothing to do they would play some games.

Humphrey sat in a random desk since the teacher, Ms. Charlotte, did not give them seating charts. He was quietly reading a book, for Ms. Charlotte was late today for some reason and Humphrey got worried. That's when he noticed Kate was sitting right next to him and he forgot that Ms. Charlotte was missing. He smiled and went to reading his book. After the whole class was here, the class started to whisper where the teacher was. After 40 minutes, Ms. Charlotte still had not come. Then nearing the end of the 3rd period, Ms. Charlotte finally came and she was red. She explained how her car ran out of gas and that she blocked the road and no one was kind enough to help her. So because of her late arrival, there was no homework for the day. The day was getting better.

Humphrey had a free period in 4th period so he just sat in the cafeteria with the rest of other people who came down for other reasons. Humphrey waited for his friends and to pass the time, started to read manga on his phone. (Manga rocks!)

Kate was going down the stairs to the cafeteria with her friends. Kate and her three other friends, Angel, Stephanie, and Bella all sat at a huge round table. They all began chatting.

"Kate," said Stephanie in a quite jealous tone, "I envy you."

"Why?" asked Kate her head cocked on one side.

"Well, you have Garth, and he is so hot!" said Stephanie and she turned a little red.

"Yea, but to be honest, I don't really like Garth," said Kate truthfully. Kate's friends gaped at her except Angel.

"W-what?!" Bella squealed.

"Yea, I don't like really like Garth," Kate said again wondering why they were gaping at her.

"B-but it's Garth!" said Stephanie.

"So? He's not attractive to me," protested Kate.

"But Garth is so hot!" said Bella, looking at Kate with wide eyes and her mouth open.

Frustrated, Kate said firmly,"Looks don't matter to me that much. I want a boyfriend that actually cares for me and not go saying everyday "You're so sexy!" " Both Stephanie and Bella sputtered.

Then Angel leaned forward, her lazy eyes looking at Kate with some question in her eyes. "Who do you like then?"

Kate blushed and Stephanie and Bella stopped sputtering to see what she had to say.

"Uh…um… can I leave that unanswered?" asked Kate going redder.

"Sure," said Angel leaning back and sitting straight. "It will probably take you a bit of time to say who you like, but tell us who you at least have an interest in."

Kate glanced around quickly to avoid the question and her eyes wandered around. Kate's eyes eventually fell on Humphrey who was on the table diagonally from hers. She got chills all when her eyes looked at Humphrey, and she suddenly felt herself drinking the sight of him. That's when Humphrey turned his head and they locked eyes.


Humphrey was quietly and patiently waiting for his friends. He had reached a new chapter in his book when he got the sudden chill that someone was watching him and that someone was at the table diagonal from his table. Taking his eyes off the book, he looked and saw Kate watching him. He locked eyes with Kate for a brief moment. Her amber eyes were so mesmerizing to Humphrey and he found himself staring intensely. There seemed to be a gradual shift in the air. Kate turned away.

"What was that?" Humphrey pondered. Just then, the lunch bell rang and the sound of stamping feet was coming down stairs. The stamping from all of the students trying to get lunch at the cafeteria seemed to shake the ground.

Humphrey was irritated. "Can't they ever learn the decency to walk or run quietly?"

Humphrey, since he had a free period before lunch, managed to get first in line to get his lunch which was steak and baked potato. (Yum!)

Humphrey sat down, waited for his friends to show up with their lunches, and began to eat. Salty was not there and it was because, as Humphrey found out by Shakey, that Garth had framed him for something Salty did not commit. Humphrey's fur bristled.

He saw Garth at a table that was a table away from Kate's. His anger flared at the sight of Garth and his other friends. His anger though simmered down at the sight of Kate.

When Humphrey was finished with his steak, Salty finally appeared and he was livid. He was coming to Humphrey table and when passing Garth's table, Can-do stuck his foot out, tripping Salty. The people who saw Salty fall, laughed. Salty got up and faced Garth.

"You okay?" said Garth sarcastically and Garth's friends laughed.

"Yea, I'm okay, even when your pet coyote tripped me," said Salty and Can-do stopped laughing and stared at Salty.

"Look who's talking, boys," said Garth and he chuckled.

"Shut the hell up!" Salty yelled and he turned around and continued walking to Humphrey's table.

Garth stood up and called after him," Whatever, faggot."

There was dead silence and Salty stopped dead. He walked back towards Garth, "What did you just call me?"

"I just called you a fag-"Garth began but Salty punched Garth in the face and knocked him to the ground.

The students around all cheered. Garth got up and rammed into Salty. Everyone started to gather around and yell, "Fight!"

Garth knocked Salty to the ground but Salty went around him and was about to punch his face when Can-do and another wolf grabbed Salty off Garth by the arms. Garth had a black eye and a bruise on his face. Salty was shouting insults at him, rage in his eyes.

Then, a third wolf started to hit Salty in the stomach and face. People were screaming, yelling, and going nuts.

Mooch attempted to save Salty along with Shakey but two other wolves grabbed them both and threw them to the floor.

Kate was screaming,"Stop! You're going to kill him!"

Humphrey watched Salty continuously getting hit in the stomach and face and he felt something snap inside of his mind. Getting up slowly, he made his way towards the first wolf that had Salty by the arm. When a wolf was trying to stop him, Humphrey backhanded the wolf out of the way. He punched the wolf that was holding Salty's right arm in the side of his head so hard, he fainted. He punched Can-do in the solar plexus with all of his strength which made Can-do let go of Salty's left arm for the air had left him. Grabbing the neck of the third wolf who was hitting Salty, Humphrey slammed the wolf down to the ground and punched him in the nose.

Dead silence. The only sounds that were heard were the coughing and gasping of Can-do and Salty's groans of pain. Mooch and Shakey picked up Salty. Slinging Salty onto his back, Mooch and Shakey raced to the school nurse.

Everyone was staring at Humphrey. Can-do was still gasping for oxygen and the third wolf that Humphrey had slammed into the ground was staggering on the ground like some drunken man, his hand to his nose to stop the bleeding. When Can-do finally regained his breathing, Humphrey walked over to him, grabbed him by the collar, and slammed him onto a table.

"Listen, next time you mess with one of my friends, I will literally kill you with my bare hands, you got it?"Can-do was to terrified to speak. Humphrey bared his teeth. He was not going to get silence as an answer.

"YOU GOT IT?!" Humphrey yelled. Can-do nodded, and Humphrey let him go. He was going to the nurse's office to see how Salty was doing, but before he could, Humphrey felt the hair on the back of his neck stand. He glanced at Kate. Kate was staring at him with wide eyes.

Kate stared at Humphrey with her wide amber eyes.

"Oh my god," Kate thought. "He just took on three guys by himself, and they were bigger than him!"

Kate stared at Humphrey, and again felt chills go down her spine. That's when Humphrey looked at her. Again there was a feeling of the air shifting and Kate saw Humphrey stiffen. Humphrey then turned and walked in the direction to the nurse's office. Eventually, the crowd of wolves started to disperse and soon, everyone was talking about the fight.

"Did you see that fight? That was so awful when Garth got punched in the face," said Stephanie. Bella nodded.

Angel leaned forward on her chair, "Kate?"

Kate jumped a little and she turned red.

"Yes?" she asked.

"Is everything okay?" Asked Angel, concern in her eyes.

"Yea, I- I'm okay," said Kate. She was fine, but that feeling when she looked at Humphrey still messed with her mine.

That will be all for this chapter and I wish I could've made it longer, but this is actually where I wanted to stop. Please review and I hope you can support me on this story. Good day!
