"Come on, Miles. Time for school," a gentle voice smiled, drawing the curtains.
"Mom," he groaned loudly.
"Miles, come on. You don't have to worry about those bullies anymore," she argued.
"It'll just start all over again," Miles whined.
"It won't," she smiled, pulling the blankets away from him and putting them in the wardrobe.
"MOM!" Miles exclaimed, curling into a ball for warmth.

Miles's mother, Rosemary, sat beside her son and sighed. "Please Miles, It's a new place! Why don't you give it a chance?" she asked gently. Miles thought for a long time before speaking up.
"Fine, I'll give it a go ," Miles sighed.
"Thank you," she smiled.
"Can I have my blanket back now?" Miles asked. Rosemary smiled and shook her head.
"Come here you," she giggled, tickling his belly.

Miles burst into laughter and tried to crawl away but he was laughing too much. "Ok, ok hahaha you win!" he shrieked. Rosemary stopped and gently kissed his forehead.
"Why don't you get your bag out of the wardrobe and pack it whilst I make some breakfast?" she suggested. Miles nodded and began to search the wardrobe for his bag.
After a few minutes, Miles found his black and blue bag. The delightful smell of pancakes drew Miles to the kitchen.

"Wow mum, those smell fantastic!" Miles exclaimed, sniffing the air with satisfaction.
"Thank you, Do you want some orange juice?" Rosemary smiled.
"Yeah, please," he replied, sitting down on a wooden seat. Miles was surrounded by cardboard boxes full of stuff.
Miles swallowed his pancakes and asked "Do you want me to help you unpack later?"
Rosemary smiled and nodded "If you want to,"

Miles wolfed the warm pancakes down and drunk his juice. "Someone was hungry," Rosemary teased.
"I was starving," he replied.

Rosemary then looked at the time and saw it was almost 8:30. "Oh dear, Miles you'd better get going or you'll be late." said Rosemary rushing to the front door opening it for Miles. "Have a good day sweetie." Rosemary chuckled kissing the little fox on his nose.
"I will mom." Miles smiled running off down the driveway.
"And try to make friends and ugh don't run with scissors!" called Rosemary
"I'll try Mom!" laughed Miles running backwards as Rosemary closed the door.

But just as he turned round he wasn't looking where he was going and slammed into a bag knocking him and the bag to the floor.
Miles's head was spinning as he shook his head and saw loads of papers scattered around the sidewalk and a white wolf staring looking very angry with him.
"Hey!" she Exclaimed. "Watch where your going! Great, now all my homework is dirty!"
"Sorry!" Miles apologised quickly picking up all the Wolf's homework and stuffing it back into her bag and giving her his hand.

"Here let me help you up!" offered Miles.
The wolf put out her hand and Miles pulled her up looking worried.
"Sorry! It's ok if your angry I'm used to it." said Miles holding his hands behind his back
"Ugh I'm not angry just a bit annoyed just watch where your going ok!" said the wolf smiling
Miles blushed smiling back in a cute, shy way.

"Aww hey are you the new neighbour? asked the Wolf.
"Yeah just moved here it's my first day," Replied Tails
"Cool I live next door! Haha I'm Melissa" smiled the Wolf holding out her fist expecting a fistbump
"Ugh?" Miles was confused he had never seen this kind of greeting before.
"Just bump your fist into my fist!" laughed Melissa
"Oooooook?" Miles said bumping his fist into Melissa's fist.
"Ha you'll get used to it! Hey wanna walk to school with me?" asked Melissa in a joyful tone.
Miles smiled brightly and thought Mom was right I've only been here a day and already I've made a friend!
"Yeah I'd love to!" Smiled Miles.

Melissa laughed as they both walked down the road together to where the school was.
"So where you from?" asked Melissa
"I dunno really, I've moved to several different schools the past 2 years because of my...*Gulp* Birth defect." Miles said worryingly.
Melissa raised her left eyebrow "What defect?" she asked.
Miles shut his eyes and said quietly "Look at my Tail,"
Melissa looked and gasped
"WHAT THE!?" She exclaimed.

Tears starting welling in Miles's eyes he starting choking up
"Hey whats the matter dude?" asked Melissa
"I...know I'm a f..f..f..FREAK!" Miles began crying on the floor closing his eyes.
But next thing he knew he could feel fur on his right side he opened his eyes and saw the wolf hugging him.
"I don't think your a freak i think it's cool you have two tails." She said softly.
"*sniff* Really? *sniff*" asked Miles
"Yeah! In fact I've always wanted two tails!" Melissa laughed, still hugging the little fox.
Miles's tears stopped and he jumped up at Melissa hugging her back as they both laughed.

Miles and Melissa were walking to the gates when they saw a group of grey will wolves talking.
"That's Vlad, my boyfriend. He loves to pick on new kids, so stick close to me!" she whispered. This worried Miles but he felt a little braver, knowing that Melissa was going to keep an eye on him.

"Who is that new kid?" Vlad asked his right hand man in a heavy Russian accent.
"He's the new kid Bwoss apparently he's been out and about the last couple of years cause of some birth defect," he replied, clearly not noticing Miles's two tails.
"Ah, you know what we do to freshman, yeah? Boys let's find out who new fox is. I have a feeling he could be some fun!" Vlad laughed...

"Hey Melissa, who is new kid?" Vlad called. Melissa sighed.
"Don't speak unless you have to," Melissa advised quietly. Tails stepped back, but stopped himself hiding behind Melissa.
"Vlad this is Miles. Miles this is Vlad," Melissa announced.
"A pleasure to meet you," Vlad grinned cruelly, putting his hand out.

Reluctantly, Miles shook his hand. He didn't like this wolf one bit but Miles tried to make good first impressions. Vlad suddenly began to squeeze his hand, Miles tried to hide the pain but just when he thought he couldn't take it anymore Melissa spoke up. "Vlad, let go," She warned. Vlad smirked and made an odd "Pft" sound.
"Sure thing.. Princess," he sneered.

"You know what? We're done!" Melissa snapped.
"B..b.. But Melissa," Vlad stammered.
"But nothing Vlad, we're through. I can't believe I saw anything worthwhile in you!" Melissa yelled.
"Aww, come on Mel!" he protested.
Melissa suddenly crouched down and swung her leg around, knocking Vlad onto his back. "DON'T CALL ME MEL!" She hissed.
Note to self: Do not call Melissa, Mel Miles thought to himself.

Vlad scrambled up to his feet and stood boldly "You.. Will pay," he threatened.
Miles began to get a little weary, and his two tails began to move around a bit.
"Hey, what's up with your tail?" One of Vlad's goons exclaimed. Miles stepped back in alarm and two tails gently came together, to almost look like one. A trick Miles had learned to perfect over the years.
"Leave him alone, Pierce!" Melissa barked.
"Ok, ok. Sheesh, just askin'," Pierce the bee exclaimed.
"I'll see you later," Vlad smirked coldly, before stomping away.

Melissa noticed that something wasn't right with Miles. He looked worried, he looked very worried.
"Miles, you ok?" she asked curiously.
"I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure that I know what to expect for a while.. Bullying," he gulped. The way Miles said it was like it was a curse. It echoed in the air.
"Come on, we're friends now. I won't let anyone bother you. I promise," Melissa said, putting her arm around him and walking into the school...
