Chapter 1: New Home

"You alright kiddo?", Dad asked concerned. I sat in silence playing Dragon ball legends on my phone not answering. I honestly don't know why I had to leave Arizona.

Now my Dad was taking me to live with him in London and I still was never informed exactly why. I could see him staring at the large gash across my face.

A long time ago me and my mom got into a dispute when I tried to sneak outside to play with other kids due to the fact I was never allowed to leave the house. So I guess I must've really made her furious and she slashed me across my face with a knife leaving a large gash that ran down the left side of my face and left eye. Overtime my eye began to lose color and became dull and cloudy. The doctors called it a Corneal Laceration.

As time went on I began to understand that I can't live with my Mom or my Grandma cause they're both crazy. Don't even get me started on my grandma. "Could you please stop staring?", I asked.

"I'm sorry I just...still can't believe she did that to you.", Dad muttered with a hint of anger in his voice. "I'm so sorry I didn't come to check up on you. I tried honestly, but that bitc-I mean woman wouldn't let me. Even the judge was on her side."

I sighed still not engaging into conversation with Dad. "Is there even any people where you're taking me.", I said. "Yeah of course there is.", Dad responded. "I meanHumanpeople.", I corrected.

"Listen son where we're going they're is rarely any people. All anthros.", Dad warned. "Anthros are people too ya know. I have neighbors who are Anthros and I'll have you know they're friendly people." I just rolled my eyes in irritation and sighed again.

I've never really been around Anthros before or met one. I've seen them back home, but I never interacted with them. Besides I have bad anxiety if I end up going to a school where I'm the only human attending, I won't be able to handle school.

After a couple of minutes Dad pulled next to a large townhouse next to a bunch of other townhouses. Once the car stopped me and dad got out and I grabbed my bag containing my belongings.

Dad pulled out the keys to the houses and opened the door. We entered and dad locked the door behind us. "Here it is. Home sweet home.", He welcomed. "Your room is upstairs the first door on the left. Trust me you'll like it."

I decided to take his word for it heading upstairs. I went into the first room on the left upstairs. To be honest I was expecting a bleak barren room, but I was amazed instead.

The walls were alligned with Justice League posters. There was a large drawer near the window to put my clothes. My bed was twin sized with a night stand right next to it. On top of the night stand had DC and Marvel comic books and Dragon Ball mangas. I had a flat screen on the wall. The tv had an Xbox one and Nintendo Switch hooked up to it with games of all sorts stacked neatly right next to consoles.

I instantly got to my knees reading inspecting all the games. Sonic Forces, Sonic Mania, Dragon Ball Z Kakarot, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 Deluxe edition, Injustice 2, MK11, Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Zelda Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Maker, and many more. I love all these games.

"So you like your room?", Dad asked startling me. Maybe it won't be so bad here after all. "Yeah it's amazing but, Does this mean I would be going to school from now on?", I asked.

Back home I was home schooled, but never really learnt anything. As I got older I began to teach myself the basics of everyday life and began to understand it somewhat.

"Oh you'll be going to an all Anthro school named, High Paw High.", He answered. High Paw High? Gosh it even sounds like a school for animals. I could see in the corner of my eye Dad was visibly worried about me.

He then sat on my bed and pat the side of the bed next to him gesturing me to sit. I then got to my feet and seated myself next to him.

"I know this is all new for you, but trust me you'll love it here. Me and you both know what you're Mom did to you all those years wasn't right it won't be the same here.", He promised. "You'll make friends here, go places, and do thingsShewould never let you do."

He was right. I just didn't enjoy the change nor did I want to embrace it at all, But this is my home now. "If it makes you feel better I'll order take out.", He added. "Ok That's fine with me.", I answered. He was about to leave the room, but instantly stopped himself.

"Oh I almost forgot before I go." Dad pulled out an eyepatch wrapping it around my head so it covered my left eye. At least now nobody could see my injury. "Thanks.", I spoke smiling.

Once he left I went downstairs into the living room. I took a seat on the comfy black leather couch then picked up the remote. I turned on the television checking the many channels. I selected Cartoon Network. Luckily for me thegoodteen titans show was on.

About 30 minutes Dad came back with the food.

After Dinner

I belched loudy on accident. "Excuse me." I looked at the clock which read 9:00. "I think you should get ready for bed and be prepared for school tommorow.", Dad stated.

I got up from the table heading upstairs. "Night dad.", I waved whilst heading upstairs.

Once upstairs I grabbed a pair of pajamas from my drawer along with a rag and a towel. I then headed into the bathroom and took a long warm shower. It was quite pleasant to deal with my personal hygiene without her getting in the way.

After that I brushed my teeth and went back into my room hopping into bed. Hoepfully my first day of school won't be that bad.
