Chapter 5 New Friends

Humphrey P.O.V.

I woke up to an agonizing throbbing pain in my back, but once I seen Kate in my arms. All of my pain suddenly vanished. It brought a small smirk to my face as she slightly snored like a newborn baby. My dreams are sincerely coming true after all these years of me messing up. I never in my right mind thought I would ever be in the same bed as Kate. Hell, I never thought I would ever have a decent conversation with her. Now I think we are officially friends and hope to be much more in the future. Kate's slow steady breathing and heartbeat was putting me in a love daze. "Kate is amazing when she sleeps...she's so warm, small, soft, and cuddly too...I wish we can stay like this forever...but I have to go sadly" I thought.

I didn't want to wake her up because she slept so peacefully but I really needed to go. Carefully I moved her off of me and laid her head on a pillow as a replacement. Just because I can, kissed her forehead and she gave me that beautiful smile I always loved. The pink clock on her wall which almost mentally killed me to look at read 6:01 A.M. "Bad enough I see pink in my sisters room now my everlasting crush room too?" I thought walking to my shirt putting it back on.

I guess I made too much noise putting it on and saw Kate starting to stir. My mind told me to grab my phone and run out, but I'll be such a jerk if I do that. Especially if I have a huge crush on her no wonder what she'll think of me then. Kate eyelids fluttered open revealing her big golden eyes underneath I always get lost in.

"H-Humphrey?...where are you going?..it's still early" Kate said in a soft but sleepily voice checking the time in her clock.

"I have to get home and change into new clothes that don't smell like alcohol" I said and she blushed.

"Sorry about that again, I don't know what came over me I should have never trusted him" Kate said.

"Kate, it's fine all that matters is that you're safe now" I said smiling and grabbing my phone off her dresser.

"I guess I'll see you in class?" Kate asked smiling.

"If I make it home I have like...13 miles to walk...I might have to run to make it to school on time" I said chuckling.

"I can give you a ride if you want silly?" Kate said giggling.

"Yes please...thank you" I said smiling.

"It's the least I can do" Kate said smiling gazing in my eyes and my body immediately frozen up. Kate noticed me not blinking staring at her, and her cheeks burned.

"You should see how adorable you look when you blush" I said smiling.

"Umm, I-I...uh, I'll meet you downstairs let me get changed first" Kate said shyly hiding her red cheeks.

"Okay" I said walking out her room with a smile on my face. "Did I just say that and she actually blushed?...I'm on a roll now" I thought happily.

It was still dark out so I couldn't really see where I was going. They really need to put some night lights in the halls upstairs. I can see myself almost or falling numerous of times. When I made it down the stairs, Lilly was in the kitchen eating Reese's Puff cereal. She gasped and almost spat out her milk embarrassed I was here.

"Humphrey, what are you doing here!?" Lilly asked shocked covering her chest with blushing cheeks.

Lilly only had on a purple bra and from here it looks like she was only in her panites; but I really couldn't tell for sure. She quickly put on her shirt that was on the counter with blushing red cheeks.

"Relax, my sister dresses like you all the time it's nothing I haven't seen before you don't look any different from her...but it does look wayyy better on you though, on her it's just YUCK" I said making a silly face and she laughed.

"My body does look better than hers doesn't?" Lilly asked questioning herself to a agreement; biting her lip seductively and cuffing her small breast. It would have been such a turn on if she wasn't so…young.

"Umm, yeah a lot better actually" I said fake chuckling. "This is getting weird" I thought.

"I always knew my body looked better" Lilly said giggling.

"Don't tell her I said that" I said chuckling.

"I won't...what are doing here anyway?" Lilly asked.

"Kate was dr-"

"Humphrey let's go I'm ready" Kate said walking down the stairs and I was stunned. She looked amazing as always.

"Wait, did you two?" Lilly asked looking at both of us.

"No, we're just friends we didn't do anything like that" Kate said rolling her eyes.

"Yeah sure" Lilly said winking at me.

"We didn't" Kate said slightly annoyed.

"Don't worry I won't tell anybody" Lilly said giggling.

"Lilly-"

"Kate let's just go, I really need to get home like in...30 minutes" I said looking at the time on my phone

"Okay" Kate said before sticking her tongue out at Lilly and opening the door. I chuckled at their little bond and followed her close behind.

"Does she annoys you a lot?" I asked.

"Ughh don't get me started" Kate said rolling her eyes.

"Yeah I know how it feels" I said chuckling.

"Sometimes I wish she would disappear for a month" Kate said unlocking the car doors.

"I'm sure you would miss her though" I said chuckling.

"No I wouldn't, I would throw a party" Kate said giggling.

"Another party huh?...I guess I'll have to be there you know, just in case" I said jokingly smiling.

"Shut up that won't ever happen again, it's only a one time thing" Kate said playfully throwing a pencil at me. Then getting in her car afterwards.

"Thanks I actually need this for 1st period" I said chuckling and picking it up.

After I got in she started the engine and immediately put the car in reverse.

"Hey hey hey…" I said and she stopped puzzled.

"What?" Kate asked with confusion on her face.

"Put on your seat belt...how did you pass your drivers test?" I asked putting my seatbelt on.

"Oh thanks, and I actually have no idea I guess there is a such thing as luck after all" Kate said giggling strapping her seat belt on.

"Okay now I'm scared..we're going to die" I said jokingly.

"Haha we're going to be fine I've never had a violation yet" Kate said laughing and driving back in reverse.

The whole ride there was the best ride I ever got from a girl in my life. This makes it an bonus because It's a girl I really like. On the way to school we made up multiple different conversation. We talked about each other and what we liked to do getting to know each other better. Then somehow our conversation turned into school and how much we hate it. Also with the shitty rules and procedures the teacher has along with a ton of homework. Not to mention that one last period teacher of the day that always gives us homework. It soon led to me making jokes about them and she laughed at every single one of them. Kate had a very good sense of humour and I can feel our connection building slowly. Her laugh was so cute, I wish I can be around to hear it forever. Everything was going the way how I wanted it until she asked a question I was embarrassed about.

"Humphery...how come you never...you know...had a girlfriend before?" Kate asked making a sharp right turn.

"Umm, I was uh...I guess ugly I don't know really" I said scratching the back of my neck.

"There's no way you were ugly back then do you know how girls look at you?" Kate asked shocked about my response.

"Wait, they do?" I asked a little shocked myself.

"Do they?...that's all I hear Candy talk about is you all day- oops" Kate said realizing what she said.

"No way...how come no one ever come talks to me?" I asked not believing what she said.

"Shyness or scared to get rejected" Kate said pulling up to my drive thru.

"Wow, all these years I thought I was a nobody" I said sad but blunty.

"Humphrey you are someone that's very awesome...you're a kind, caring, and sweet guy...if it helps...I always thought you were someone and I still do...who cares what other people think just know there always someone out there that truly loves you" Kate said smiling with her hand on my shoulder. I smiled gazing in her amber eyes and said.

"Thanks Kate, that means a lot to me" I said smiling.

"Like someone once told me...I'm just telling the truth" Kate said smiling and I chuckled.

"That someone will see you at school in 2 hours" I said getting out her car and she giggled.

"See ya Humphrey" Kate said smiling.

"Bye" I said closing the door before she took off and I watched her leave until she was out of sight.

*Sigh*

"Maybe this year won't be as boring as I thought it would" I said to myself out loud. The sun peeked over the trees nearly blinding me.

"Oh shit" I said running to my doorstep realizing it's getting late already. Strangely the door wasn't locked and I rushed in running to my room, but quietly.

When I walked in my room our cat Naomi was in my bed relaxing.

"All the girls love my man cave huh?" I asked scratching underneath her chin and she purred.

*Meoww*

"I guess that means yes" I said chuckling getting something out my closet I can change into.

I grabbed my Kobe Bryant camo shirt off the hanger along with the matching black jeans. Throwing them on the bed next to Naomi and took off my shirt. Which for some reason hurted me like hell. I looked in my mirror and saw red marks on my back with a few splinters.

"God damnit Garth..I'll get it out later" I said to myself. I took off my pants and quickly went to the bathroom and took a warm shower. My back stung like hell and now I wish I took them out.

I wrapped a towel around my waist and opened the door to be greeted by Apple.

"Oh looks who's back...how was the entercourse?" Apple asked giggling walking in the bathroom.

"We didn't do anything okay?...she's just a friend" I said.

"Yeah right...don't worry I won't tell anyone" Apple said putting Crest toothpaste on her toothbrush. "Her and Lilly act and think exactly the same… It would have been torture if both of them were my sisters" I thought.

"That's why Lilly body looks better than yours" I said before walking away.

"No it doesn't" Apple pouted.

"If you say so" I said chuckling and walking in my room.

I changed into my clothes I laid out on my bed and slipped on my black and yellow Adidas. Just because I love to stay fresh I added some old spice deodorant and Axe spray attire. It was now 7:20 and I realized time past by fast when you having a good time with someone you have a crush on. Before I walked out the door I fixed my hair and grabbed my backpack.

"Byee kitty" I said scratching her belly and she purred.

I walked downstairs into the kitchen to fix me some cereal because my mom is not up yet. When I filled my bowl up with Cinnamon Toast I was buzz killed by their not having any milk left in the fridge. Except for chocolate milk which is disgusting to me. I was about to find something else until someone crept up behind me scaring the soul out of me.

"Boo" Apple said and I hit my head on the fridge. Apple bursted into laughter holding back the tears.

"You little" I said playfully picking her up and swinging her around.

"Noo, let me go you know I get dizzy very easily" Apple said.

"I know that's why I'm doing it..now say the magic words" I said chuckling.

"I think I'm about to puke" Apple said holding it in her mouth.

"That's not right" I said chuckling.

"Humphrey please put your sister down...I sworn I told you that for 14 years straight since she was a newborn" Dad said walking in with his casual working clothes on. I did as he told me and Apple walked very sloppily.

"Aww I remember she was a baby with 3 bottom teeth in her mouth" I said chuckling and pinching her cheek.

"Dad how did I get my name?" Apple asked pushing my hand away.

"Ask Humphrey" Dad said while making himself some coffee.

"Really?...you gave me my name?" Apple asked confused looking at me.

"No, you gave yourself that name...mom and dad was teaching you how to say words and had no success with it so I wanted to try...it was the first day of kindergarten and mom gave me a lunchable with an apple for lunch….I held it in front of your face and said apple...on the first try you said it...a lot actually...so that's how you got your name" I said smiling tapping her nose playfully.

"Was it an green apple?" Apple asked curiously.

"Yep, now where were we?" I asked grinning evilly slowly walking it her.

"Daddd" Apple whined.

"Sorry honey, guys rule" Dad said holding his hand up.

"You got that right" I said chuckling accepting his high five.

"Whatever" Apple said rolling her eyes and sitting at the table.

"Oh yeah dad we need some more milk because someone drunk it all" I said looking at Apple.

"Why you're looking at me?...I don't even like soy milk" Apple said pulling out her phone texting away.

"Then who drunk it?" I asked.

"Only two living organisms in this house love soy milk" Apple said and it took me a minute to think about it.

"Oh yeah that's right I gave the rest to Naomi...my apologies madam" I said with a goofy smile and she giggled rolling her eyes.

"Humphrey I don't want to be a party pooper but your mother is going to ask where you were last night" Dad said turning a page in the newspaper. "How did he know I went to a party?...probably Apple loudmouth talking to her friends" I though.

On cue mom stormed into the kitchen with a robe and house slippers on. When she saw me she calmed down and said.

"Humphery what happened last night where were you?" Mom asked relieved.

"I was at a friend house because of the storm after the party...didn't Apple tell you guys" I asked looking at her and she had a guilty smile.

"Oh uhh, sorry I was video chatting with Lilly I forgot to" Apple said and I shot her and angry look.

"Thank god you're safe but why you didn't tell me you're leaving?...you had me worried sick when I didn't see you in your room last night" Mom said hugging me.

"Mommm I'm fine nothing is going to happen to me I'm glad I was there because one of my friends was drunk and I took her home" I said.

"Who was your friend?" Mom asked.

"Uhh, Kate, a new friend I made…" I said and mom gasped.

"Did you two have-"

"No mom we didn't do anything and if we did her mom would have been killed me by now...a guy dosed her and was about to rape her until I fought him and took her home because she was really drunk….I didn't have a ride home and it was raining so her parents offered me to stay" I said.

"Well, I'm very proud of you for doing the right thing but you should tell me next time where you're going I was just about to send out an amber alert" Mom said.

"Really an Amber alert?...hahaha I have to get kidnapped and thrown in a vehicle it doesn't work like that...and I didn't ask you because I know you wouldn't let me go and preach to me about parties in your day and how bad it was" I said.

"Humphrey I only do it because I care for you, what if you got hurt and there's no identification on you?" Mom asked and I realized she was right.

"I know, I'm sorry….it won't happen again" I said self guilty and I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket.

"I know it won't sweetheart but think about the basics next time you leave...okay?" Mom asked looking in the fridge.

Meanwhile I checked my phone and saw I had a message from Salty.

*Dude, I heard you beat Garth ass at the party last night everyone is talking about you dude… you're so popular now!*

*Are you serious?*

*Am I? you need to come check it out all the girls are talking about you. Even the sluts so you might get you know what I mean ;]*

*Okay I'm on my way*

I put my phone in my pocket and stood up walking to mom kissing her cheek.

"Bye mom I have to get to school...come on Applesauce" I said.

"Wait it's too early right?" Mom asked confused.

"Yeah something came up I really need to get to school" I said walking to the door opening it.

"But, what about breakfast?" Mom asked.

"We'll eat at school bye Dad" I said.

"Bye buddy" Dad said before sipping his coffee then Apple kissed his cheek.

"Bye guys" Apple said.

"Okay, have a good day at school" Mom said before we walked out the door.

"Okay what's really up?" Apple asked smiling.

"You'll see yourself… right now let's get to school" I said. Before we even made it to our sidewalk Shakey's black 2014 Stick Shift drop top Camaro pulled up in my driveway.

"You guys need a ride?" Shakey asked.

"Woah when did you get this?" I said chuckling throwing my backpack in the back seat.

"Nice" Apple said hopping in the back seat while I satin the front.

"Thanks, you know, I got my ways" Shakey said popping his collar.

"Is this rented?" I asked chuckling.

"Maybe" Shakey said before pulling off.

"Hey bro, did Salty tell you that everyone is talking about you?" Shakey asked.

"So that's why we're leaving early?" Apple asked.

"Yeah he told me" I said ignoring Apple's question.

"This is crazy how did you kick Garth ass?...I heard he was in the hospital" Shakey said.

"Wow did you really?" Apple asked shocked.

"I didn't do anything…he tripped and hit his head on the dresser" I said.

"But for you to still be in one piece is amazing...remember what happened to the last guy he fought?" Shakey said before stopping at a red light.

"Yeah, it was ugly I saw the video last year" I said.

"What video can I see?" Apple asked very concerned on what we are talking about.

"Especially when he broke his arm...it was nasty" I said.

"I would have shit my pants" Shakey said.

"Wait what video?...let me see it" Apple said irritated we're ignoring her.

"Speaking of shit...remember summer camp 8th grade" I said chuckling.

"We promised to never bring that up" Shakey said slightly angry.

"Haha sorry it was so hilarious dude everyb-"

"Helloooo!" Apple shouted waving her hand in front of us.

"What?" I asked looking back at her.

"Let me see the video" Apple said calmly.

"I don't have it anymore...ask your boyfriend Salty" I said chuckling and she blushed.

"H-He's not my boyfriend" Apple said defending herself.

"Yet" I said chuckling.

"She likes Salty?...I can't wait to tell him" Shakey said.

"Noo!...I mean uhh...pssh tell him..I don't care" Apple said folding her arms playing it cool.

"We sure will….I definitely would tell him you have heart framed pictures of him in your room" Shakey said and she gasped.

"How did you know that?!...did Humphrey tell you?" Apple asked glaring at me angry.

"He didn't… I just guessed" Shakey said chuckling as we did our signature handshake.

"Ughh I hate you guys...the light is green by the way" Apple said angrily.

Most of the ride there was quite for Apple as we were the only ones talking. After 5 minutes we finally made it to school, and Shaky parked in his student parking spot. Which is strangely next to Kate's car. When I got out I noticed she was still inside fixing her hair.


Kate's P.O.V.


I just arrived at school with my little sister Lilly, 5 minutes ago and she was the first to go into school. Mostly because she had to use the restroom. I was about to exit my car until I realized my hair was a little messy. My comb wasn't anywhere to be found so I started to panic. "Where is it?...I could have sworn I had it in my purse" I thought looking through my handbag. I didn't find my comb, but I did find my brush which is a lifesaver. It would be embarrassing talking to people with messy hair, especially Humphrey. Mid way through brushing my hair a car pulled up next to mine, and I didn't pay any attention to it. Just when I was about to add a plastic pink flower in my hair, someone tapped on my window scaring me. I almost hit my head on my car mirror, and I dropped my brush.

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you...having fun in there?" Humphrey asked chuckling.

"Yeah" I said giggling before getting out and giving him a small hug. He didn't expect it so he was startled at first, but he soon accepted my hug.

"Your hair still smells like watermelon I see" Humphrey said chuckling.

"Haha actually It's the shampoo I used this morning after I got back home" I said giggling.

"Nice, hey are you any good at geometry?...I need a little help with certain questions" Humphrey said leaning on my car a little.

"Yeah I love math, I'll help just come over to my place after school" I said smiling.

"You sure your parents would accept that?" Humphrey asked.

"Sure they will, this morning they went on and on about how much you are a great guy" I said smiling.

"Good because-"

"Hey Humphrey"

Some random chick said that was walking by with a smile on her face. Cutting him off in mid sentence, while he shot her a confused look.

"Umm hey…" Humphrey said smiling at her and she winked at him before crossing the street.

"Do you know her?" I asked.

"No, I've never seen her in my 17 years of life" Humphrey said scratching his silky black hair, watching her walk across the street.

"You sure?...how does she knows you?" I asked puzzled.

"I dunno" Humphrey said shrugging his shoulders.

"Kate, there you are" Sweets called walking up to me.

"Oh hey Humphrey" Sweets said smiling widely.

"Hey, nice to see you got the stains out somehow" Humphrey said chuckling.

"I actually bought a new pair this morning because of someone" Sweets said giving me an angry look.

"What I do?" I asked confused.

"Nothing let's go" Sweets said taking my hand and walking away. I looked back at Humphrey and he only smiled. His heartwarming smile would always melt my heart. I gave him a bigger smile showing my teeth before turning around.

When we walked into school from the entrance I can hear people that are mostly girls, gossiping about Humphrey. From what I heard so far, he put Garth in the hospital. Humphrey really most can fight, he doesn't look like the fighting type of guy. I never thought any guy could beat Garth, but I now stand corrected. "What happened at that party...I have to ask him it's driving everyone's attention...including mine" I thought.

When Sweets and I made it to our lockers Candy came over with all her books in her arms.

"Did you guys noticed how everyone is talking about Humphrey and what happened last night?" Candy asked putting in her locker combination.

"Yes, he must have gave him a real beating" I said with a small smile. "It's so sweet for him to fight Garth for my privacy like that...and on top of that beat him somehow" I thought. From the corner of my eyes I saw Humphrey walking over to us.

I looked in the mirror to make sure my hair looks good, then turned back to him with a smile. He smiled back but before he got within a few feet of me someone stopped him, Jane. She lead him away from me and I soon lost sight of him in the crowd. Jane is one of the biggest sluts in the whole school. I'm pretty sure every guy in school except Humphrey smashed her. Quite surprised she dont have HIV or pregnant yet to be honest. I never really hated her because she didn't do anything wrong to me at least; but I don't think Humphrey should even be talking to her. I don't like it...

Jane is always bragging about herself and steal the leading spotlight in cheerleading. She frames girls so their boyfriends can break up with them and she can make her move on them. Now she's trying to hook up with Humphrey and she doesn't deserve him. I don't know why, but I now officially hate her. "Why is she talking to him?...how out of a sudden she talks to him now?..she never liked him before...this can't be happening…I need to eavesdrop on their conversation" I thought.

"Hey uh guys...I'll see you in class I have to do something real quick" I said taking out my math books before quickly closing my locker.

"Wait what are you doing?" Sweets asked while looking in her mirror putting on makeup.

"Can't talk about it now, I'll just see you guys later" I quickly said before trailing off to Humphrey and Jane.

I got at a respectable distance and stood around the corner listening very closely.

"Ummm nah, I'm kind of busy tonight...maybe some other time" Humphrey said calmly.

"How about this weekend?...there's this new restaurant that opened across the street from my house...I heard it's really good" Jane said.

"Uh sure I guess, if something don't come up I'll be there" Humphrey said.

"Great, get my number" Jane said. I couldn't really see what was going on, but I heard the dial pad.

"There you go" Humphrey said.

"Thanks and umm, if it turns out a good date...maybe we can make it better at my place...bye Humphrey" Jane said seductively before walking away. "They're going on a date already?...I have to tell Humphrey who she really is" I thought.

Before I turned the corner I walked into him and his aqua blue eyes met up with mine. I was frozen in place, lost in his life threatening eyes. Something in them told me he was going to be a special piece of my life. Someone that is always going to be there for me and take care of me. Now suddenly I feel lighthearted and cheerful when I gaze in them. I never felt this way about any guy eyes before. Mostly because not many guys talk to me, and when they do I know they don't mean it. Humphrey on the other hand is a very honest and meaningful guy that loves to put others before himself. That's what I like about him the most, there's not many guys like him. He's different, not original like most of these guys at this school.

"Kate?...are you there?" Humphrey asked chuckling waving his hand in front of my face.

"Oh uhh, sorry, I was in my own little world there" I said smiling.

"Don't worry I go to mine everyday, the one place no one can judge you for anything" Humphrey said and the bell rung.

"Damnit I didn't get breakfast, rest in peace to me because I'm going to starve from hunger" Humphrey whined and I laughed.

"I'm sure you can wait until lunch" I said giggling.

"No I can't, it's the best thing about school like for real...who comes here to learn?" Humphrey jokes.

"The people who wants to get somewhere in their lives...what do you want to be after high school?" I asked walking to class with him following.

"What do you mean?" Humphrey asked.

"You know, what are your dreams?" I asked.

"Ummm, I don't know...I can be a world lightweight couch potato I guess" Humphrey said chuckling and I giggled slightly.

"Haha there's no such thing and besides….you can't be something you already are" I said playfully nudging his arm.

"Reality is wrong but dreams are real….and that's my dream" Humphrey said and I rolled my eyes

"Oh shut up" I said giggling, but my smile went away when I saw Jane by the vending machine. When she made eye contact with Humphrey, Jane smiled seductively and winked.

"Humphrey, as your friend I don't think you should go out with Jane" I said.

"Me, going out with Jane?...never in a trillion years...she got hit more times than a pop up hammer machine at Chuck E. Cheese" Humphrey joked and I laughed.

"Good, because I don't want a great guy like you getting diagnosed with HIV" I said smiling.

"You are the most caring and kind girl I ever met do you know that?" Humphrey said smiling.

"I was raised to care for others" I said smiling.

"I see, and that's what I like the most about you...It shows how much of a loveable girl you are" Humphrey said smiling and gazing in my eyes. "He is so charming and his eyes are so dreamy" I was thinking until the warning bell rung.

"I think we really should get to Mr. Johnson class, I don't have my school I.D. from last year and I really don't want a detention" Humphrey said chuckling.

"It's not like you're going to go any way so.." I said giggling speeding up my pace.

"Haha yeah good point" Humphrey laughed.

Half of thirty seconds we made it to Mr. Johnson's class just in time. I walked over to my friends and sat down in my original seat. Meanwhile Humphrey sat in the back by himself again and took out his phone. I kind of felt bad he was alone and had no one to talk to, so I was going to sit with him. Until someone else sat by him…


Humphrey P.O.V.


Kate and I made it in class just in time as the tardy bell rung and everyone was doing what they normally do, talk. When I walked through the asial, it immediately quiet down. Everyone was eyeing me as I walked to my seat in the back making me feel like some kind of celebrity. "Wow, that's a first…people actually can see me" I thought sitting my backpack on the seat and sitting down next to it.

I pulled out my phone and was about to play Madden Mobile until I felt someone poke my shoulder.

"Hey uhh, you mind me sitting here?…"

When I looked up at her she looked absolutely gorgeous. She had grey mixed with black fur with big brown eyes and a bang covering her right eye. Which looked good on her, despite the fact she looked somewhat like Lilly but not really. She had a very muscular slender body that was in perfect shape so she obviously play sports or work out.

"Oh no, not at all...have a seat" I said smiling and moving my backpack out the seat.

"Thanks" She said smiling before sitting down along with her things.

"No problem" I said smiling.

"My name is Stephanie" Stephanie said holding her hand out and I happily shook it.

"My name is Humphrey nice to meet you" I said smiling. "Her hand is really small...and soft too" I thought.

"Your hand is really soft and smooth by the way, I must know your secret" I said winking and she giggled.

"Just use regular hand soap and not certain lotions because when it dries up, it pulls off your skin" Stephanie said.

"Wow, I never knew that...all this time I've been using Baby Johnson's lotion" I said chuckling.

"You use baby lotion?" Stephanie asked giggling.

"Haha look let's forget about all that..but uh...anyways are you new here?...I never seen you around until now" I said.

"Yeah I just recently moved here from Toronto with my family" Stephanie said.

"No way you're from Toronto too?" I asked a little excited because she's the first wolf I've known to be from there.

"Born and raised...are you from there too?" Stephanie asked smiling.

"Yeah, but I wasn't raised there sadly...so I forgot what it looks like in person" I said.

"Why?" Stephanie asked curious.

"It's a very long story I don't like to talk about" I said and she was about to say something until the door closed loudly.

"Good morning everybody...sorry I'm late I was in the teacher's lounge" Mr Johnson said walking to his desk with coffee in his hand.

"Is the work in here hard?" Stephanie whispered.

"I had him for biology freshman year and it was pretty hard...so I'll say yes it is" I whispered back.

Mr. Johnson went on and on about our assignment and what we are going to learn today. Meanwhile my eyes constantly kept glancing at the clock so I can get to the next class already. Then he talked about neutrons, electrons, atoms, and something about a strong gas. I really don't pay attention when I'm bored, I just hear what I want to hear honestly.

"Humphery can you tell me how many atoms are in a mole?" Mr Johnson asked. "Easy" I thought.

"There are 6.022 × 1023 atoms of potassium in every mole of potassium...one mole of KOH contains one mole of K so the answer is 6.022×1023 atoms of K" I said proudly.

"Wow, very good job Humphery you know your stuff" Mr Johnson said firmly.

"Impressive" Stephanie said smiling.

"Yeah you know, I hit the books every once in awhile" I said chuckling and she giggled.

In the middle of Mr. Johnson asking another student a question, Kate looked back at me and smiled. "I love her smile so much, it always make me feel happy and determined to see it forever" I thought.

"Is she your girlfriend?" Stephanie asked with a sense of despondency.

"No, she's wayyy out of my league I don't think she would like me anyway I'm quite weird at times" I said chuckling.

"Who wouldn't like you?...you're cute, funny, and smart...you sound likea keeper to me" Stephanie said smiling and moving closer as my cheeks burned.

"Aww you're blushing" Stephanie said giggling. Before I can respond the bell rung for the next class. I quickly packed up my stuff and headed towards the door.

"Hey um Humphrey?…do you uh...what to maybe hang out sometime?" Stephanie asked.

"Just to get to know each other better" Stephanie explained.

"Sure...I might won't have nothing better to do in the meantime" I said chuckling.

"Haha okay, here take my number" Stephanie said writing it on my arm. "This must be a dream...I got three different girls numbers within two days…I don't even know who I am anymore" I thought.

"Whenever you want to hang out give me a call" Stephanie said smiling.

"Sure thing" I said before she walked past me lightly slapping my stomach with her tail.

"I have to be dreaming" I mumbled to myself.


Lunch Period


Kate's P.O.V.

The bell rung for lunch and students erupted out their classrooms to lunch like it was a Black Friday sale going on. All this morning the only thing that was on my mind was whoever that other girl was that gave Humphrey her number. "Who do she think she is just to run up on Humphery like that?...she don't even know him as well as I do and she wants go get all flirty with him….she have no rights to exchange numbers with him because it's just not right...you don't go up to a random person and ask for their number even though they may look cute...whoever she is, she's not taking my Humphrey away from me to live happily ever after….I knew him first" I thought.

After I got my lunch I sat down with my friends not saying a word. Still furious about the girl giving him her number, which I hope he burns.

"Kate are you okay?" Winter asked.

"Yeah I'm fine" I quickly said opening my milk.

"Are you sure?" Candy asked sitting next to me.

"I said I'm fine" I said irritated.

"Kate, you are anything but fine tell us what's wrong" Sweets said. Then I saw Humphrey walking in the cafeteria and waved when he saw me.

I quickly smiled and waved back glaring at him dreamy. Not taking my eyes off of him for even a millisecond. That was all corrupted when whoever that girl was from first period went over and talked to him. I let out a small growl squeezing my silverware bag busting it open.

"Oh I see what the problem is...you're jealous Humphrey is talking to other girls" Winter said smirking.

"What?...pshh no...I-I'm not jealous, If anything I'm happy for him because that's his decision" I said playing it cool.

"Yeah right, just admit it Kate you like him" Sweets said giggling.

"I don't okay...I just want him to be with the right girl that's all" I said as real as possible giving eye contact.

"Yeah right" Sweets said giggling.

"Swe-"

"Look she's whispering something in his ear" Sweets said pointing and I growled quickly turning my head to see them not there anymore.

"Ughh you make me so mad" I said growling at her as everyone was laughing except me.

"Kate, we know you like him there's no need to hide it anymore" Candy said.

"Alright fine, maybe I do like him a little bit" I admitted.

"You guys should hang out more, I mean he's still on the market so he's available for anyone" Winter said.

"Actually he's visiting my house later today" I said.

"So you're getting straight to the chase...I like it" Sweets said winking.

"Eww no, nothing like that...well yet at least….we're just studying" I said.

"Ooo so a study date?" Candy asked.

"Call it whatever you want" I said rolling my eyes.

"Yep, it's definitely a study date...wait...did he ask to come to your house to study?" Candy asked.

"Yeah, with math I think" I said.

"Don't you see he's trying to make his move?" Candy asked.

"I don't think he wants to try anything...he just wants help with something I knowledged better than him that's all" I said denying it.

"Well if he's not trying anything he definitely likes you for sure" Candy said.

"Do you think so?" I asked.

"Of course do you see how you guys look at each other?" Candy asked.

"Yeah she got a point, you guys look into each other eyes for a long time personally it's weird" Sweets said.

"He also wouldn't have gotten angry at Garth for punching you and kicked his ass afterwards if he didn't like you" Candy said.

"He's just trying to be a good friend" I said.

"Did he tell you that?" Winter asked.

"Umm, yeah" I said.

"That's bullshit, Drake said the same thing to me before we started dating to cover up that he's only doing it because he likes me" Winter said.

"So Humphrey...likes me back?" I asked unsure anymore.

"It's kinda obvious" Candy said giggling before eating a fry. I glanced around for Humphrey and saw him talking to his sister who was holding to large McDonald's bag.


Humphrey's P.O.V.


I just got through talking to Stephanie because she wrote the wrong number on my arm, and wanted to fix it. Before I went to go get in line for lunch, I heard a young familiar feminine voice call my name.

"Humphrey!" Apple shouted out over the talking ruckus in the cafeteria.

I turned around to see she has two large McDonald's bag in one hand; and the other with two medium sized drinks in a four way cup holder. With a smirk on my face, I walked to her and grabbed a bag before it fell out her hands.

"Thanks sis, this is why I love you" I said smiling looking inside the bag.

"No problem, is everything okay?" Apple asked referring to my food.

"It doesn't have pickles on it right?" I asked.

"No that one shouldn't, here…" Apple said handing me my drink.

"Sprite?" I asked.

"Yep" Apple said smiling.

"You know me so well, I'll see you later" I said before kissing her cheek then walking away to my usual table.

When I sat my food on the table, I took my backpack off and sat down eating a quick fry. "Where are they?" I thought looking around for any sign of my friend's. "Probably still in the lunch line" I thought.

I took my quarter pounder out my bag along with my fries, then took a quick sip of my drink. Then I felt someone put their hand on my shoulder. When I turned around I was met by the most beautiful girl I ever seen in my life.

"Humphrey, why are you here by yourself?" Kate asked.

"I was wondering the same thing, I don't know where my friends are" I said looking around again.

"You can, sit with us if you want" Kate said smiling. I looked over at her friends to see them waving and smiling.

"Umm, you sure I won't interfere with you guys...you know uhh...girl time or whatever?" I asked chuckling and she shook her head no.

"It's fine I don't want you over here alone, come on let's go" Kate said smiling.

"Okay" I said grabbing my food before leading her to the table her friends are at.

As I was walking through to her table I saw many students mumbering my name and pointing at me. A table of girls growled at me seductively and winked as I past by. I'm not going to lie, It kind of turned me on a little. I felt Kate press up against my side and whispered.

"Just ignore them Humphrey" Kate whispered and I only nodded.

We made it to their table and I carefully sat all my stuff down including my backpack.

"Nice to see you joined us" Sweets said smiling.

"I'm not welcomed to be here though…because you know girls have cooties" I joked as we all shared a laugh.

"But, you like sexy girls with cooties right?" Sweets said biting her lip looking down at her breast. From the corner of my eyes I can see Kate giving her angry signals to stop.

"That's not how I would say it but yeah, there's only one sexy girl at this table though" I said smiling before sitting down eating some fries.

"Who?" They all asked at the same time.

"That's something for me to know and guys to find out" I said while chewing.

"We know it's obviously me" Sweets said flipping her hair and fluttering her eyes.

"You really think so?...he said you have cooties it's anything but you" Candy said giggling.

"But in a sexy way right?" Sweets asked looking at me.

"Haha I was joking" I said laughed.

"But if you wasn't?" Sweets asked and I felt a little uncomfortable with this conversation. Mostly because Kate is next to me.

"Okay Sweets enough it's not important" Kate said. "Thank god, she's a lifesaver" I thought.

"So, Humphrey….what happened last night…I really want to know… A lot of people talking about what they think happened but I want to hear it from your point of view" Winter said.

"It wasn't anything hardcore...I just wanted to protect Kate and make sure she isn't subjected doing something she normally wouldn't do" I said before taking a bite out of my burger, immediately spitting it in my hand.

"God damnit Apple I said no pickles" I said with a sour face throwing it in my McDonald's bag.

"Come on Humphrey tell us details, we promise we won't tell anyone… How did you knock him out?" Candy asked.

"I didn't" I manage to muffle out while chewing and they all shot me a puzzled face.

"Then who else did it?" Kate asked curious.

"You" I said before swallowing.

"Wait what?...me?...but how?...I was drunk" Kate said confused.

"Garth had me pinned and tried to stab me with a knife...I grabbed the lamp that was on the floor next to me and hit him in the head with it-"

"Oohh so that's what happened to my lamp" Candy explained.

"Shhhhhh" They all said angrily then focused their attention back to me.

"Damn, sorry" Candy mumbled out.

"Anyway, glass got in his eyes and he stood up in pain holding his eyes in pure agony...bad luck for him, he wasn't watching where he was walking and tripped over Kate's leg falling on the dresser knocking himself out" I said.

"So I'm the reason he's in the hospital?" Kate asked still not believing what I'm saying.

"No, he's the reason why he's in the hospital…he brought this on himself he should have just saw it coming…Garth always chooses to be evil and look where that got him" I said shaking my head before putting ketchup on my fries.

"Wow, so you didn't do anything?" Winter asked.

"Well, I stopped him from raping Kate unattainable...but that's about it" I said smiling at Kate and she smiled back, but her smile was bigger than mine.

"But they don't know that" Winter said pointing behind me. When I turned around I saw the same group of girls that was trying to seducing me earlier smiling seductively at me.

"They didn't even know me until this little incident and what they're thinking is never happening...let them think whatever I never really paid any attention to them anyways so.." I said turning back around.

"Okay change of subject, where do you guys want to go after school?" Sweets asked.

"We can go to the mall" Winter said.

"No it'll be too crowded...they're having an event for pups there today" Candy said.

"How about an restaurant?" I suggested.

"Umm, actually we never go to any food places together…I say we do it" Sweets said.

"Agreed" Winter said.

"I'm In" Candy said.

"Kate, are you coming?" Sweets asked.

"Umm, no actually Humphrey and I are doing something after school" Kate explained.

"Oh, I see" Candy winked making her blush.

"Why does everyone think that?... I'm just tutoring him with a math subject" Kate said shyly.

"Yeah, I'm sure that's what you guys are doing" Sweets asked looking at me and I shook my head chuckling. Then I saw my sister talking to some guy with blushing cheeks. "I would usually get anxious but...she's blushing so he's not doing a bad job" I thought.

After a while I finished my lunch, and the whole time I was a little bored. They were talking about things that weren't interesting, to me at least. I'm lucky enough they didn't talk about One Direction, I would have killed myself. I was finishing up my drink before I threw my lunch away, until Sweets asked me something.

"So Humphrey, what do you like to do on your spare time?" Sweets asked.

"Easy play video games duhh" I said making a silly face and she giggled.

"Okay your second thing you do on your spare time?" Sweets asked.

"I sing and play football" I said taking another sip.

"You sing?" Candy asked with an raised eyebrow.

"Yeah, lead ex singer of my church choir" I said smiling.

"Lies" Candy said.

I started singing her name in a really good melody, and ran my notes perfectly.

"Okay you definitely can sing, why not tell anyone?...your voice is amazing" Candy said excitedly for some reason.

"I don't think I'm that good, besides I have stage fright" I said.

"It's something you can over come after you get used to it" Winter said.

"True but, I don't sing like that I only do it for fun" I said, then I spotted my friends coming the lunchroom in late.

"Thanks for the company guys, I'll see you later Kate" I said before getting up taking my trash.

"Bye, see you later" Kate said smiling.

I walked to the trashcan and threw my trash away. Then walked over to my friends who are just know getting in the lunch line.

"Where you guys been?" I asked.

"Fucking detention" Salty said looking at Shakey.

"What?...her ass was fat I had to grab it" Shakey said.

"Haha so how did all of you get in detention?...friend code?" I asked.

"Yeah he pulled the friend code, just move up I'm hungry" Mooch said and they slowly walked up.

"You always hungry" Salty said.

"I know I'm fat but I still got to eat" Mooch said.

"Every 5 minutes?" Salty asked.

"Stop over exaggerating, its every 3 minutes" Mooch explained and I laughed shaking my head.

"I'll see you guys at our table" I said chuckling before walking our table.

I sat down and flopped my backpack next to me while putting my IPhone earbuds in. Somehow my eyes met up with Kate's golden eyes, and a huge smile was placed on her face. She waved at me and I returned the favor by waving back. To spare time I played one of my favorite songs called 'No Role Modelz' by J Cole. Before the song was even halfway over I felt someone tap my shoulder.

"You mind if I sit here my brother and I are new to this school and we saw you sitting alone" He said.

"Um no I don't mind at all" I said and they sat down with urgency.

"Thanks man" He said. Both of these guys were huge, about almost the same size as Garth. Also they look the same, I think they might be twins.

They both had dark gray/white under fur on chest, face, forearms, legs and tail. One of them had red creepy like eyes and the other had brown eyes. That's literally the only way I can tell them apart, their eyes.

"Are you guys twins?" I asked.

"No, I'm 3 years older, this is my little brother Lee" He said messing his hair up.

"What I told you about touching my hair" Lee said angrily fixing it back.

"He have temper issues" He said chuckling.

"Because of you" Lee said.

"Whatever, anyway my name is Sebastian" He said holding out his hand.

"Humphrey, nice to meet you guys" I said greeting his hand smiling.

"You can call me Meteorite, I'm used to people calling me that" Lee said smiling.

"Just call him Lee, no one calls him that but himself" Sebastian said and I chuckled.

"Haha okay" I said chuckling.

"Dude why are you always killing my thunder?...so not cool" Lee said irritated.

"If that was your thunder I wonder how your lighting is" Sebastian said eating his fries.

"You know what man fuck you" Lee said flicking him off.

"See temper" Sebastian said chuckling looking at me.

"Seb-...woah...who is that?" Lee said daydreaming at someone behind me.

When I turned around following his eyes measures, it looked like he was staring at my sister talking to Lilly.

"Who?" I asked.

"The one with the white fur…she's beautiful" Lee said dreamily.

"That right there my friend is Lilly Williams…she's definitely in my top 5 cutest female freshmen I've seen so far" I said smiling.

"She's number 1 on my list...I'm going to go talk to her" Lee said getting up before his brother pulled him back down.

"Just stop bro, she's way out of your league" Sebastian said.

"So?...what's the worst that can happen then an awkward moment?" Lee asked.

"You getting slapped, you're horrible with talking to girls...remember Abby?" Sebastian asked.

"Look I didn't know she was a lesbian" Lee explained.

"But she made every single sign she wasn't interested...you're blind when it comes to girls just leave her be for your own embarrassment" Sebastian said drinking out of his carton of milk.

"I'll prove you wrong, I'm going to get her number" Lee said determined.

"Yeah right" Sebastian said with a chuckle.

"Actually I'm somewhat really good friends with her...I say you go for it...Lilly loves making new friends also she's really sweet, kind, and caring...just don't rush things and you'll be fine...trust comes before anything" I said smiling.

"Ok, thanks dude" Lee said eating his mashed potatoes.

"No prob, oh here come my friends" I said as they walked over to my table.

"Wassup Humphrey, who's these guys?" Salty asked.

"Oh uh, this is Sebastian and Lee they're new here" I said as they all sat down except Salty. He only sat his tray on the table.

"Oh wassup guys I'm Salty, you know the smart one around here" Salty said trying to lean on the table and missed completely almost falling.

"Yeah, he's the smart one" I said sarcastically chuckling.

"I doubt that" Sebastian said chuckling.

"I'm Shakey the lazy one" Shakey informed.

"And I'm Mooch nice to meet you guys, want your mashed potatoes?" Mooch asked Lee moving closer to him.

"No, knock yourself out" Lee said giving him a weird out face scooting away.

"Don't mind Mooch, he really don't talk much he only eats" I said chuckling.

"Shut up, I'm tired of you guys always talking shit...I'm starting a diet tomorrow" Mooch said.

"You said that yesterday dumbass" Salty said sitting down.

"And I haven't eaten anything unhealthy yet right?" Mooch asked.

"Wait until you get home, all expectations are off" Shakey said chuckling.

"I'll prove you guys wrong, ten years from now I'll be a bodybuilder" Mooch said and we all laughed hysterically.

"Umm nah, I don't think so" Salty said holding in the tears.

Then these two Policemen walked into the cafeteria along with the principals; looking around for someone. I tried to look away and hide my face but it was too late. One of the Policemen spotted me out and started walking over to me.

"Shit" I mumbled to myself.
