Chapter 3 – Lizard Boy with fish lips.
Rachel's last class for the day was Gym.
Rachel always loved gym, even though she never joined any sport club before, she loved PE/Gym classes. She always had an easy time with sports… Her cat senses were obviously one of the reasons.
She changed her clothes in the locker room together with the female half of the class. They had co-ed PE classes and she was very excited about it. Her last school used to segregate sexes, making the girls have gym first and then the boys.
McKinley's Gymnasium was pretty big and well kept. The coach was a centaur standing with a big basket full of balls by his side.
The students gathered around him and eyed the basket suspiciously.
"Okay, today we have a newcomer. I'm not asking miss Berry to introduce herself because, probably, they asked her to do that in every class she went today. Am I mistaken miss Berry?" The teacher asked with a know-it-all grin.
Rachel simply confirmed his suspicions with a small smile, kind of liking the gym teacher.
"We're gonna play dodge ball today as a welcome to our new friend. You can use the whole court, no sides." He added being greeted with the cheers of the students. "Puckerman and Harris will be the captains. Heads or Tails to see who chooses first. The second team will wear the sports vest." He said hitting the polished wooden floor with his hoof.
"Heads!" Puck claimed snickering.
The teacher then flipped the coin catching it mid fall and then putting it on the back of his hand to show the result. "Heads. Puckerman you go first, Harris the vests!" He said trotting away to where he would be able to watch the game without getting in the middle of it.
"Hell yeah! I want the Kitty babe on my team!" the dog boy said pointing Rachel who just rolled her eyes and went to stand beside him.
"I have a name, you know?" she told him and he just shrugged smiling at her
"Hanson" Harris chose having an overly tall boy with longs arm and legs standing behind him.
Brad Hanson was a basketball player and he could touch the rim of the basket by simply standing on his tiptoes and stretching his arms. He was tall, very thin with big hands and feet and a very small head for his dimensions. Probably the size of a handball. His head almost hit the ceiling inside of the school's other buildings.
"Fish Lips." Puck called and a boy, who just rolled his eyes, came to join them.
"Are you always like this?" Rachel asked him slight annoyed.
"I'm just teasing, he knows that. Right, man?" Puck asked the boy with a playful grin
"Sure." He answered puck before turning to Rachel "He is just an ass like that. You get used to it. I'm Sam by the way. A Lizard and not a fish." He says to Rachel with his own smile.
"Pleasure, Sam. I'm Rachel." She greets him with her own smile.
He sure had a kind of big mouth and she kind of gets the reason for the nickname, but it was so insulting. She hated that kind of things… Fishfolk hardly existed anymore and they would get offended with little things.
This Sam boy was also very attractive. He had scales, of course, but they were smooth like the ones of a snake. His 'skin' color was of a light yellowish green, but varied to a more human like color at times.
His eyes were the one of a lizard but he had a very caring look on them. The most funny thing about him was that he had actual hair.
Soon both teams were completely chosen. And the second team was wearing the smelly sports vest with the school emblem on them.
Each team with the same number of balls and as soon the game started the court fell into chaos. Sam sweetly tried to protect Rachel when the first balls were thrown, but he soon noticed that she didn't need the help.
She dodged with easy and was swiftly throwing her own balls always hitting who she aimed for. Because of that she was quickly being targeted by the best players of the other team.
She jumped and dived avoiding the balls, sometimes even adding some acrobatics to it just for provocative purposes. Her smile was almost diabolical and her tail increasing her balance and responses.
She carelessly went after a ball just to see herself cornered by three girls from the other team.
"Now we got you, kitty!" one of the girls said with a evil smile
The three of them threw the balls at the same time, making it harder for Rachel to avoid them. To do so she transforms into her cat form, missing the balls for centimeters, and run passing under the open legs of one of the girls.
"Hit that cat!" She hears the girl roar.
Some just seeing a blur, of gray and white, avoiding all the balls being thrown at it. Rachel, then, sees a ball right in front of her, an ogre also going for it.
Rachel increases her speed and jump on the ball rolling over it and transforming back at the same time and using the momentum to thrown the ball at the boy, hitting him at his chest and even making him stumble and fall flat on his ass.
Before she is even able to celebrate someone thrown a ball at her from behind. She quickly avoids with a back flip catching another ball and hitting the boy who had tried to get her. She ran back to her remaining teammates and notice that they're only four, with her and she being the only girl, while the other team still had six of them.
"How they still having so many people." She breaths
"They 'saved' some of their teammates" Puck explained. "Now, let's finish them!"
They got back to the game with renewed force. Shortly there were just her, Puck and Sam on her team and one on the other.
Puck was soon eliminated after that. Sam was going after a ball when he trips falling becoming the perfect target, and Olive Woods, the last standing player of the other team is fast to notice it.
She throws the ball with all her strength. The ball is almost reaching the fallen boy when Rachel puts herself before it and prepares herself to catch the ball when…
The whole gymnasium is shaken with the loud popping noise. Rachel falling on Sam's lap who was still on the ground. Both of them really surprised.
"Hoi! Without destroying school's propriety, please!" The coach yells coming back to the court. "Puck's team wins, fierce game kids! Are you two okay?" He asks the still shaken girl who was being helped back to her feet by Sam.
"Ye-yeah… sorry coach, sometimes they get out when I'm too worked up." She answers showing her claws with Sam nodding behind her.
Her ears still ringing because of the loud noise.
"Okay… if anything you just go to the nursery room." He said with an almost imperceptible smile. "Class dismissed! Hit the showers kids!"
Rachel skipped with the other girls to the locker room. She takes of her gym clothes and underwear not minding being naked in front of the other girls… Most of them didn't have problems with it either.
"Dammit, Kitty… my ears still hurting from the noise…" the girl on the locker next to hers said with a playful frown. Suzan Peter was her name, she was an gargoyle kind of creature.
"Are you kidding!? I think I'm deaf! I was just there! You were all the way over there sitting on the bench!" Olive Woods, a spring fairy, yelled beside them.
"Ow, Woods! No need to yell!" Suzan flinched at the girls tone.
"What!?" Olive yelled again, making Suzan run away from them and to the showers.
"Are they really this sharp?" a third girl asked getting closer to her while she was making her way to the showers.
"I guess…" Rachel said showing off her claws. "I treat them very well and I even have a scratching pole to sharpen and strengthen tem."
"Tell us, Rachel, how did you get the attention of all the most popular kids on your first day?" A blond dwarf girl asked braiding her beard after getting out of the shower.
"I have no idea." Rachel answered washing her hair. "Seriously." She added when some of the girls snorted at her answer. "I was just at my locker and it seems that Quinn's locker is close to mine and they were there and Brittany thought I was… cute? I don't really get it."
"You lucky bastard…" Suzan said "Everyone tries to get their attention you know? The same goes with Finn and Puck."
Rachel was already drying herself at this point and just rolled her eyes as an answer.
"I don't know what I did." Rachel says honestly getting her clothes to dress herself. "It wasn't like that on my previous school. They just remembered me on the holydays season or when they needed someone to sing the national anthem…" She says finally putting her sweater and bending down to put on her shoes.
"You sing!?" the dwarf asked skeptically.
"Yes! Beautifully even." Rachel smiled proudly. "Well, I'm going now. It was a pleasure to play with you all!" getting 'goodbyes' and 'see yas' as an answer.
She was passing her locker when she hears someone calling her. She looks back and sees Sam approaching her. His hair was still wet, much like hers.
She made a mental note to bring her hairdryer next time. She hated leaving her hair drying by itself, but mostly she hated the sensation which her damp fur caused. Her tail felt heavy and looked weird. She also usually get all self-conscious afraid that it would start to smell.
"Hey, Sam…" She smiles at the boy and going back to walking this time with him at her side.
"Are you okay? I mean you did fall and everything…" He said and she nodded to answer him. He bits his lips and looks at her profile "Not that I'm really surprised…" he starts with a playful manner make her look curious at him. "…'cause I know how charming I can be. The girls can't help themselves but fall for me. Or in your case on me." He laughed a little.
Rachel let out a small chuckle before looking at the boy again. But didn't answered right away and just arched her eyebrows at him.
"Yeah… hum… sorry." He said then felling really self-conscious. "I guess I'm not really anyone's type…" he shrugged
"I find you really attractive Sam." Rachel told him "And you seem to be a good boy. And this dork side of you is cute. You can easily be any girl's type." She smiled and winked. "I, for example, would easily go out with you."
"So you…?" He started hopefully
"No." She cut him "I meant in a hypothetical way. Given others circumstances I'd probably would be agreeing for real with a date with you." She explained "But, not only, I just moved here I… I'm not really that sure about pursuing something other than friendship with boys…"
"Really?" He asked sounding surprised.
"Yeah… is it really that surprising? It's such a common thing..."
"Not surprising per se… but what about you felines and being gay?" He said in a slightly defeated tone
"What do you mean…?" Rachel asked him when they are interrupted by someone else.
"Hey, Fish Lips, Kitty Babe. What are you two still doing here?" Puck asked sending Rachel a grin.
"Talking." Rachel answered.
"I was asking Rachel if she needs a ride home." Sam said with a shrug and winking at her.
"Why don't you came with me then, Kitty? I'd give you a ride whenever you want." He says suggestively wiggling his eyebrows
"No. And I already said yes to Sam." Rachel answered, grabbing Sam by his elbow and dragging him out of the school building
"Oh, come on! I was joking." Puck yells "Or not. If you do get interested…"
She just ignores him fuming. She really hated that kind of behavior and the boy screamed sexual innuendos. Sam was laughing beside her, but deep down he was really proud of himself for being chosen over Puck. Even if he didn't have any romantic chance with the girl.
"You get used to him don't worry." Sam tried to calm the fuming girl. Her damp hair and fur wasbristling in her turmoil. "He doesn't mean ill. He is just a literal horny dog. He can be a really cool guy once you get to know him."
"I don't think I really want to know him…" She breaths and stops dragging Sam around once they were in the middle of the almost empty parking lot.
"You can be his friend… he is a good friend. Just don't hook up with him." He laughs when she huffs and rolls her eyes at him. "Do you actually wants a ride home?" he asks changing the subject.
"Yes, please." She answers still frustrated.
"Then, let's go!" He smiles patting her shoulder and pointing his car with his chin.
She follows him and neither of them notices the greed and slightly crazy eyes following her around. When both teenagers got inside the car the owner of said eyes turned on their heels and went straight to the gymnasium.
The PE teacher was still there like she suspected.
"Tell, me Potts... How impressive is this new kitty girl?" the intruder asked the teacher.
"Very impressive I guess… You know how cats are, Sue." The centaur answered.
