Chapter 3: Hiding Places
Jonathans' P.O.V.
When I saw my coz', Undrae, walk through school transformed like she was, I just thought about the opportunities that would arise. Then over the throng of people talking about each others costumes, I saw two bushy, brown worms sticking out. What made me realise that they were ears was the slight twitch they had. Evangeline. She must have seen Drae and decided to transform herself as well. She could be so childish at times, even though she was only a year younger than me. Not that I was any better.
Right then and there I decided that I didn't want to be left out. I looked at my watch and noted that there wouldn't be enough time to get to the boys bathroom which was on the other side of the school. I don't know why the school was so badly designed. However, there would be enough time to get to one of Drae's many hiding places.
The only people who knew about these little hiding spaces were Undrae, Evangeline and me. She had told Eva about them but I found out by following her when she was meant to be somewhere else. I'm sure she has others that I haven't found yet, but I think I know most of them. In fact, I only learnt about this one two weeks ago when she was trying to skip out on Geo and I happened to be running an errand for my History teacher.
I weaved between the talkative children, towards Drae's locker. I squeezed through the little gap between the lockers and the wall, without anyone noticing me. I shuffled a few steps to the right where the space grew larger. It had four large pipes on the wall. But Undrae's too smart to stop here. The reason it took me a while to figure out this hiding spot is that you have to crawl in between the pipes. Each of the pipes are about half a metre high and almost impossible to scale. The trick is using the wall next to the pipes to climb in between the second and third pipes. They are about two feet apart, this makes the gap about the size of your head. This leads you into a 'room'. This 'room' is probably more like a box. It's about two metres wide and high. Yes, I know it's cramped but no one can see you unless they go in there as well.
Into the box I go.
It takes a little amount of concentration for me to transform, but I have lots of practice so it doesn't take too much effort. It's easy for me, I just need to close my eyes and get a mental image of what I look like when I am transformed. Out of my messy blond hair grows two identical ears. They are yellow with black inside. Then comes my tail which is more like a couple of spikes than a tail. It's also yellow. The skin on my neck lightens from the usual tanned skin I have to a yellowish white and stick out a bit. Almost like a collar. I get armbands of blond fur that give off static shocks if you touch them.
I open my electric yellow eyes and can feel the power of the transformation as fell as the static electricity that I give off in this form.
An evil thought suddenly plants itself in my head. Varn must be helping a teacher or something. I don't want to get in trouble for his good deeds again. It's happened far too often. I guess he could say the same about himself. I'll just wait for it to pass and hope the temptation doesn't get too bad.
This has been edited. It wasn't as bad as the others. *gives self a pat on the back* I'll keep the edits and updates flowing as much as I have time for.
Until next time
I'm out.
