A/N: Hey guys, Boom, second chapter i have pumped out today. I am on a roll. Tomorrow i have to go in for first shift to help with a big unit move in the shipyard, so i wanted to make sure i got the chapter up today. There is a poll up on my profile to figure out what monster girl to write for my next chapter, since i am still going strong with this collection. If you have any suggestions just leave a review asking and i will throw them on my list of MGs to write about. So until next weekend (Hopefully will be posting more chapters), Take it easy and see ya guys later.
Freshman Year
Pacing angrily down the hall, i make my way past the lockers right before the corner, my claws clicking on the floor as my padded feet bring me closer to my next class. 'Out of all the classes i have to take, they sign me up for drafting. What a waste of my time!' continuing to rant internally, i pause outside the classroom, looking inside to see the rows of computers. 'How exactly am i expected to use those fucking things when i can barely use the small mouse they use instead of something i can use with Pads. Stupid school budget cuts, i don't know how they overlook this... Only freshman year and i'm getting sick of this place.'
Walking inside, i plop down into my seat, a stool that's situated in the corner of the class next to the computer at the high desk. 'Well at least they have stools so i can sit..' I cant be pulled out of my bad mood, my tail barely swishing in annoyance as i begin to attempt to logon to the computer. Without specially made keyboards and mice, it was hard for certain mamono to use computers, and in this case, made me very annoyed. The teacher did all he could to accommodate me among a few other students, but there was only so much he could do, needing to keep the whole class learning as the weeks passes slowly by. Luckily for me, today things were about to change. "Aria, can you come here for a second. I have an idea..' I look over to the Drafting teacher after he called out my name.
I guess the teacher thought of a better way for me to draft as he pulled me outside of the class. Apparently he did have a couple spare drafting table in a side room, where he was going to send me to do our current drafting project on paper. 'Well at least i can hold a drafting pencil and do my work without getting anymore late grades...' I think as i slowly pace over to the new room, at the end of the hall. Poking my head, i take in the room, its large size surprising me. Scattered in the far corner were a few work benches and then lining the wall were the few drafting tables the school still had. And there must be my new 'teacher' as i dubbed him, i guess there was another student who was in my class but normally did things by hand. Standing over in the corner at a drafting table, looking over his drawings that looked like a floor plan, was a boy. Apparently he was a freshman just like me.
'Hehe i don't think he has noticed me yet.. might as well go say hi' Carefully padding over, i stop to look at myself in a mirror that was leaning against the wall nearby. Crimson eyes stared back at me, my sclera black, the flames in the corners of my eyes softly glowing. My dark, onyx skin smooth and was flawless except at my arms, where my tufts of Orange fur started just below my shoulders, followed by black fur all the way down to my wrists, a darker orange that almost looked mixed with red tuft of hair sprouting right before my paws, the fingers ending in pitch black claws to match the fur on my paws. My T-shirt swelled with my growing chest, puberty hitting hard just a few years before high school. My Jean short shorts, rounded off with my firm butt, allowing my tail to be free and making my life easier since the fur two tufts on my legs like my arms made any sort of pants awful to wear. My clawed toes were all managed daily so i wouldn't scratch up the floors as i walked around places.
Finally done giving myself a once over, i walked around the edge of the room to stay out of his sight. Finally crouching to make sure my claws weren't hitting the floor, i slowly padded my way over to behind the unsuspecting boy. Looking over his shoulder, i marveled at his sketch for a second, the sharp defined lines of his house plan easy to read, the thing practically looking like he copy and pasted it off a computer. The hand writing was neat where ever he had jotted down a note and the drawn blocks at the bottom had all the information in it, including his name. "So Devon huh?!"
Startled, the boy turned around quickly, suddenly finding himself within arms reach of a girl, scared at the fact someone was there, let alone a Hellhound. Gulping he straightened and tried to lose the slightly nervous look he had. Kinda failed but whatever. "So i was told by our teacher that since i can't use the computers well enough that you could show me how to draft by hand." Leaning a little to the side, Aria nodded at the draft laying on the slanted table in front of her. "Hell, if you can do that, hopefully you can show me a thing or two.. My names Aria by the way" i extend a paw out to him.
I smile when he finally nervously take my paw shaking it as he admits his name is Devon. I laughed pointing out i already knew because his drawing, getting a small chuckle out of him before he nervously looked around for a second, contemplating what to do. Deciding to maybe make a suggestion to help him out, i ask "Think you could show me how to draft by hand... never have before and you look like a pro. Maybe you could help me figure out how to do these drawings?"
Being pushed into talking about something he was comfortable with i could see a real smile come to his face, the nervousness i had just seen vanishing. The period passed quickly for the first time ever, as i was shown how to set up the table, the pencils and erasers i would need. He showed me how to start my own floor plans, a final project we were told months in advance so we could work on it. In fact, after i started to see Devon everyday, the class seemed always to pass faster and faster as i became immersed into the work, Devon guiding me on how to work through a couple different styles and requirements for the final plans.
As the days passed, Devon slowly seemed to grow accustomed to my presence. Small talk would occasionally be made, until we could actually hold a decent conversation. I learned that Devon asked to be in the separate room, being very shy around people. Afraid to interact partially due to nerves and always afraid to mess up, he would hide in the drafting room to be alone during his free periods. I realized after the first week that i actually had two more classes with him, English and P.E but he had always kept so quiet and to himself in a corner that i never noticed him. 'I will just have to fix that..'
Sophomore Year
I dodged through the crowds in the hall, trying my best not to bump into anyone. My first day back in school and i only felt a bit of the anxiety i had been burdened by my freshman year. I noticed after a little bit of time i would receive nods or greeting from a few people. It felt weird hearing people start to call out "Hey, whats up Devon" or stuff like "Devon, haven't seen you in awhile, Enjoy summer break?". I continue down towards the foyer, the final bell having rung, ending our first day of school back. Suddenly i felt an arm slip around mine, a familiar scent filling the air. A slight smoky scent, like a campfire clued me in first. Looking left i saw Aria beam at me as she pulled me after her. "Hey long time no see Devon, Come on, lets go!" i quicken my paced, trying to keep up with her determined strides.
"Wait, where are we going?" i ask, following her outside, as she paced towards the side of the building where the little cement walkway lead up around the school towards the soccer fields and basketball court, on the top of the nearby hill, a short walk up from the school. "I didn't get to see you all summer and we only have two classes together so we are gonna hangout. I know you want to anyways, i mean why go home when you can hangout with me!". That large grin of hers felt infectious as i slowly felt my own lips turning upwards into a smile. Even though i was being dragged along on her whims, i couldn't help but relax. I didn't mind, her company welcome.
Last year, my attempts to hide alone throughout the year were ruined by the very same girl tugging me along with her. She would bark orders at me when we were in class, putting me on the spot randomly. In PE, she started to make me do the mile run with her, in front of all those other kids. The first few weeks, i felt dizzy from all the eyes on me as we passed people jogging. This wasn't the end of it either. She pulled my desk over to hers in English, making me a part of her group instead of sitting alone. Anytime i felt like i could get away from any notice, she would pull me right into the spot light.
Slowly though it stopped scaring me as much. The first day i ran with her in gym, i was terrified and i don't think i even let out a breath half the time i was running, afraid to draw any more attention from the other students. We weren't the fastest but still always near the front of the group. All those eyes on me, unnerved me and made my legs feel like jelly. I honestly wanted to hide and not come back the next day, but she kept pulling me along with her. In English class she would throw my hand up or volunteer me to read and act out parts in the plays we read.
I just never realized that so many people were starting to notice me. Throughout the day people would say hi and i even managed to hold a couple conversations without my normal anxiety.. well not as much of it at least. I was happy at least to find out i did share two classes this semester with Aria. Even with the way she has been throwing me in the spot light, i could relax around her, being my first real friend i made after we started working in that drafting room together.
Feeling a light tap on my shoulder, i look over to see Aria looking at me, head cocked a little, with her ears perked as she looked at me questioningly. " Were you listening to me Devon?" I sheepishly shrug, apologizing for missing what she said to me, to preoccupied with my own thoughts. Letting out a slight growl, she leaned into me, my arm pressing against her chest, a blush racing to my cheeks as glared into my eyes for a second. "You know, you better learn to listen, when the alpha speaks, you listen.." She managed to hold her stern expression for a couple seconds before letting out a slight laugh, leaning back and relaxing. " I'm kidding... mostly." she softly added, not seeming to care that she had pressed her rather buxom chest against my arm.
Turning to the side, I looked out onto the soccer field, wondering why we were up here, the warm summer like day beating down on them, a gentle breeze rustling the nearby trees that lined the path up the hill. A couple people were gathering, a couple soccer balls kicked back and forth between a few people.
"Well if you were listening, i was saying how they have a soccer team that likes to play. To practice they go up against a team of random players, once every week. The team of random players don't have any obligation to compete against any other teams, just play for fun and test out our own schools team. They play every day after school to practice and stuff. I think we should do it, what do you think?" Aria looked at me expectantly. I heard the unspoken statement in her supposed question. While it came off as a question, I knew it was really her saying, from now on we are going to be playing soccer with random kids from school. "Alright i guess..." I mumbled, feeling himself pulled into a tight hug suddenly, her claws slightly digging into my shirt as she pulled me into her.
"I knew you would be ok with it, we can start working out after school together too since we will be bringing a change of clothes. The gyms open afterwards so we can practice and then workout. Plus since we live only a short distance away from each other, i will walk you home like the gentlewoman i am!" She flashed a bright smile at me as she let go stepping back, the redness of my cheeks being part of the reason why she was smiling so much. She hadn't changed much, mostly just filling in some more of her curves over the summer, as she looked up at me. When they first met she was the same height as me, but now i was a couple inches taller, just barely able to see over her head now. I had slightly gained a little muscle from her making him workout in PE with her, putting a little weight onto my once very skinny frame.
She spun me around, giving my butt a quick smack, making me jump a little, before she started pushing me back down the hill towards the school. "We can work on the details of what our little workouts will be later, alright" I didn't have to look at her to know he missed a wink, as we started to walk back, making our way home. She had worked last year at my house a couple times, living relatively close by.
And so it started like that. For the next few months we competed against the schools soccer team, learning how to play with a bunch of strangers from school. Soon i could call out everyone's name on the team and actually participated in playing heavily towards the end of the season. After each day of practice we would say goodbye to everyone, going back down to the gym where a lot of football players were working out. A lot of strong guys lifting weights and grunting and exuding testosterone. Aria, didn't let me skip out to avoid it, pushing through the crowd of guys, shoving me wherever we need to go next for our workout. I would bench with her spotting me, always focusing on the weights so i couldn't be caught blushing at her. She could lift way more than me, no need to let her know she could make me blush by watching her pace around in her black spandex shorts and sports bra...
A couple times while in school, i would catch myself staring at her, whether in class or after school. Luckily i always turned away before she could catch me, thanking my luck. We managed to work out the next semester, practicing soccer on our own before someone suggest we run with the track team occasionally in the spring. Soon the summer was upon us and i actually lamented the school year ending. Having said farewell to my other classmates we walked home, her stopping at my house for a couple minutes. I didn't expect her to take my phone from me and put her number in. What i expected less was to be told i was going to text her at least once a week to stay in contact or she would come to my house and drag me outside and beat me up.
Senior Year
Junior year came and went in what felt like the blink of an eye. We only had two classes the whole year together so we made up for it by hanging out after class. She often would visit me at my house, always saying she was just reminding me who the Alpha is. Luckily soon enough the next summer break was here, we found ourselves spending a lot of time this summer together.
The summer passed at a weird rate. Whenever i hung out with Aria, we would go walk into town and get food, sometimes seeing movies or shooting hoops at the basketball court. Sometimes we would go to the school over the summer and practice passing and shooting goals past each other. Whenever we hung out the time seemed to fly by, the end of the day always coming to soon. When i spent the day alone, it seemed to drag. I used to relish spending my time alone but now it felt weird almost not to have some company.
School life has changed a lot also. Never have i known so many people and been able to talk comfortably. A lot of my practice team for soccer would randomly hangout at lunch if they saw me along with other people from class. Today had been a busy day, Aria pulling me along happily after her when we found out that we shared all four classes the first semester. The first few weeks passed with us falling back into our workout schedule. Soon enough a couple months had already passed as we tried to enjoy what remained of our school life. Posters reminded us everywhere of our upcoming Prom which signaled the end approaching of high school.
I currently found myself in the gym with her. A lot of people had decided to skip today due to the rain, not wanting to stay late, but Aria had insisted we still workout, dragging up to the changing room. Finally having escaped from her grasp i changed and we began to workout just like last year. Well, for the most part. There was one slight issue that kept coming and i didn't know how to solve it. I wasn't sure if she was just trying to mess with me, or if it was accidental but i started noticing her a lot more this year. Freshman year when we first started talking and hanging out, that was it. We talked. Shook hands that one time, maybe traded papers and stuff once or twice but that was it. Sophomore, we started to jokingly shove each other and talk, even junior year we were very comfortable with each other.
'But is this a little much...' I thought as i blew a hearty breath out, finally dislodging her furry black tail from my face. She had jokingly turned around, letting it rest of my face as i tried to bench press. Turning back to me, she leered down at me, over her sizable chest that still protruded noticeably even in a sports bra. 'Not that i have been staring or anything...' I grunt, raising the bar up to put on the rack, Aria watching to make sure i didn't drop it. Having bulked up a more after the time i have spent with her, i now can happily claim not to be a complete wimp, benching two hundred and twenty five pounds. Wasn't too shabby, though managing to concentrate was hard.
Not sure whether she didn't notice or just didn't care i had to fight not to look at her very womanly body. She would only wear a sports bra and Spandex shorts, saying she was more than well enough covered. If I would bench with her as my spotter and if she wasn't leaning over to be able to look down at me over her own chest, she would just stand a little too close, her crotch hovering a little to close for me to focus completely on weight lifting. So many times did we end up in compromising positions working out, i was having a hard time hiding my reactions. Recently she had even started to sit on my stomach sometimes when i bench to watch my form, or so she said. All i remember was praying not to get hard and imagining anything to take my mind off the fact her warm behind would press against my core, the heat coming from her hard to ignore as her tail had wagged slightly, brushing certain areas...
I would have to focus completely on the bars or weights in whatever we were doing to manage to hide my blush. Sighing, I stand up, stretching out. "Hey, Devon!" I look down to see her standing squared off to me. She had her arms crossed and i could hear her foot tapping, seeing her tail swishing slightly behind her as she aggressively stared at me. "Yeah..?" i reply, managing to keep my voice clear and waver free, being better now at talking to people after all this time.
Her eyes narrowed, her ears flattening against her hair as she continued to stare into my eyes. I hold her gaze, after all this time, she had tried to stare me down before and it always turned into a battle of the wills. However, i felt like something was slightly off about this time. Maybe it was the fact i was in the room with her alone for once, but that shouldn't be it, we usually hangout just the two of us. She took a couple steps forwards until she was just about to brush against me. I hesitantly take a step back, refusing to break the gaze, but backing up slightly. Seeing this, she keeps the glare up even when i see her lips twitch, the corners turning up slightly as she takes another step forward. Each time she took one, i would back up a step. That was until i felt my back press up against the wall.
I gulp as she stepped up closing the little gao between us, he soft chest squishing up against mine as she got in my face, noses seperated by just a couple inches. Staring into those crimson orbs, the black sclera emphasisng those gorgious eyes. " Aria?"
I don't remember exactly when my mind went completely blank. At some point i guess my brain needed to reboot as the first thing i remember is all my senses coming back to me. My sense of smell filled with a slight smoky scent mixed with sweat, the taste of her full dark lips capturing mine tasting like cinnamon sugar, the feeling of her body pressing against mine intoxicating. In a haze, i felt myself loosen up, settling into the kiss, enjoying the warmth of her lips against mine, my hands finally settling on her lower back, pulling her in against me. I could feel her tail wagging excitedly as it send up little vibrations through her back from just above her butt.
After finally deciding she had kissed me long enough, she pulled back out of my embrace, leaving me standing there, a little stunned. Tail wagging and ears perked back up, she looked at me for a couple seconds before turning towards the door, walking to it, pausing at the threshold. "You're going to ask me to the Senior dance next week by Friday" She declared, her tail wagging slight faster as she said it. "Now hurry up and go clean up so we can go home"
Standing there still stunned, i slowly reached up to touch my lips, tingling slightly from our lip lock, the scent of her still lingering in my mind. 'Did she just... wait i'm taking her to the dance...' I slowly walk out to the guys locker room. "I'm taking her to the dance..." was all i could mutter to myself, ignoring the happiness i felt flooding me since the kiss as i hopped in the shower. "I guess i need to ask her now..." the smile wouldn't leave my face.
In the girls locker room, Aria stood in the shower, water running down her rump as she thought back to a minute ago. She had to calm down, refusing to go back outside until her tail stopped wagging so much, her heart still beating rapidly after she had pressed up to kiss him. 'Teach him to think he can challenge me... Sometimes i need to remind him who's in charge..'
As i left the guys locker room, i looked over to see a waiting Aria, hair still slightly damp from the quick shower. She looked calm and collected, except i noticed her tail was wagging slightly. "Well Devon, you going to just stare at me or can we start walking home?". Aria couldn't help but smile seeing me tense up, forgetting my shy side, having not seen me like this for a since we met. Smirking she walked over, hooking her arm around mine, pulling me after her as we started to make out way home. I would gaze at the ground distractedly, as we walked the same way we always did, noticing occasionally her eyes flickering towards me, her almost possessively holding my arm, the blush from her hugging it to her chest clear on my face. I threw her off as we continued past my house, walking towards hers, a confused look crossing her face before she shrugged it off. Finally when only about twenty feet from her door i decide to speak.
"So hey, the Senior Prom is coming up soon... Would you like to go?"
That sharp white smile shined brightly, her dark skin complimenting it as she looked up at me with a blush on her cheeks, tail wagging. all she said as she leaned up towards me was "I'll think about it..." before i was suddenly overwhelmed again by a warm tingling on my lips and the taste of cinnamon.
