Fur-al High

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Shinzuu's day at classes were boring and he found himself napping again. After the bell rang, he snorted back awake and waited for everyone to leave as he packed up his uniform into his bag. Shinzuu ran down back to the track and was once again bombarded by women and gay guys alike. He scratched his arms and face as they did warm-ups, having been touched by women. Shinzuu never really liked running long distances, but it was a required warm-up, and it helps to build stamina for basketball. This sucks...

Veronica's day felt like it flew by. Before she knew it the bell was ringing to signal the end of the school day. As she walked through the halls, she looked out the window to see the track team practicing with the usual crowd watching them. A debate started up in her head about whether she should go watch again or not. She definitely didn't want to feel like she was stalking Shinzuu or anything, but then again, this would only be the second time she went to a track practice and it wouldn't be like she was one of the people who followed him all day. But she also liked her usual routine of reading in the library. "Or you could just sit outside and read by the track practice..." She thought to herself. Heading for the library, she checked out a book and headed outside. She sat on the bleachers and opened the book, reading and glancing up at the team members practicing every once in a while.

Schadenfreude pulled her head out of her arms to see the girl's uniform in front her, neatly packaged. "I guess it's a good thing it was a black tie." She then looked at the boys uniform that the guy was extended to her. "So are you taking the skirt then?" She joked, but she just seemed as if it she was tired or didn't care. She took the uniform, smiling dully and replying "I guess I don't have to beat up some geek to get one because there's no way I'd wear a skirt."

Reno smiled having given Schadenfreude his unifrom, he then left and went about his day. Before he knew it he was in chess club, which for him was cut 25 minutes so he could go to swim practice. He dressed out in his normal swim gear, which entailed a speedo and swim cap to hold his ears down. He didn't particularly enjoy being so exposed...He was pretty self concious, though he wasn't fat he didn't exactly sport a six pack either. The coach lined the team up at the edge of the pool, blew his whistle and he and the rest of the team dove in.

Shinzuu had kept an eye out for the freshman during practice and saw her reading a book on the bleachers during track. Is she part of my fan club, too? No, she can't be. She wasn't even here the last practice. Basketball practice wasn't much either. Like usual, the fan club followed and sat in the bleachers, and the coach pretty much had the other guys working hard to become starters. Shinzuu marveled at how some of the guys even got on the team. A lot of the freshman guys had absolutely no ball handling skills at all, and most of them rely on their heights to dunk and can't shoot. Come on. This is not America where this is the team of Shaq.

Veronica had left the track practice early without looking back and took the book back to the library. She changed into her shorts and tank top for cheering practice. On this day of practice her and the other freshman were taught the cheers that they didn't already know and worked on making their jumps higher. They also found that their routine would be set to Madonna songs and worked on the first little bit of their routine.

The possum scooped up her things and headed to her classes, again, ignoring the art education people. She seriously began to wonder when and if any actual artists would get into this club, and again, she wondered why she bothered with this club. The art teacher didn't even like her because they butted heads so often. This time she was put out in the hallway because they had gotten into an argument over styles and tastes. The teacher refused to accept anything that wasn't her preference.

Reno swam for quite awhile until the coach blew his whistle calling them all out. He climbed out of the pool and began to towel off. " 'Ey coach, can I take off a tad early? I need to check into work and let them know about my swim practice." The coach looked at him oddly. "When did you get a job, Reno?" "Over the summer." "Parents cutting your allowance again?" Reno paused for a moment then gave him a fake smile and nod. "Aye, they did. So I got a job." "Alright then, dress out, don't think this can happen again though." "Alright, thank ya coach." Reno finished toweling off, got dressed and left for work.

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Shinzuu decided to stay late after practice was over. His teammates called back to him. "Yo, Shin! Are you sure you wanna stay here, man? We're gonna head to the Cat's Eye Cafe. Why don't you come with us?" Shinzuu shook his head, "No thanks, guys. I'm still a little rusty from the winter break, so I'm gonna work on my long shots tonight. I want to make sure they get in instead of just hitting the rim. Sorry, just go without me, I'll clean up when I'm done." Shinzuu made another shot before grabbing another ball from the basket and making another shot from 2 feet behind the three-point line. He practiced late into the night and ended up not finishing until 11:00pm. Shinzuu packed all the balls back and swept the floor with the push-broom and then mopped up before getting his stuff and locking up the gym before leaving. He sighed as he made his way home, sweating hard from his practice. Well, that should be enough to get me to bed. Guess I'll be have to be excused of the homework again. Heheheh.

Cheering practice ended at the same time as basketball practice just like it always did. As Veronica prepared to leave, she heard Shinzuu's friends yelling to him and him saying that he was going to say and practice late. She was then distracted by one of the girls yelling to her from the doorway. "Hey Veronica! You'll be at the Sunday morning practice, right?" The lioness asked. "You know it!" Veronica grinned. The lioness gave her a thumbs up and left. Veronica headed for the door and as she exited she glanced back at Shinzuu for just a second before disappearing. She went into the bathroom and changed back into her regular outift. "Might as well get my use out of these clothes for the day since it's into uniform mode tomorrow." She muttered to herself as she left the bathroom. When she got home, she switched into pajamas, made supper, and ate it. After she was done, she went up to her room and went to bed.

After Art Club, Schadenfreude did her usual things. She walked around town until it got dark, stopping at Cafes, or really anything that offered entertainment. She looked the uniform over some of the time as she sat in the park, losing herself in thought. Apparently the patrolman had gotten wise and a few hours after dark, escorted her out of the park again. She couldn't avoid it anymore, she had to go home. She approached a broken down looking apartment building and walked inside, taking an elevator to the third floor. The hall lights flickered as she walked to the end and entered the last door on the left, ignoring the domestic abuse going on next door. The place was pretty clean other than the flaws of the place. The floor seemed to sink in near the entrance to the kitchen and her window was broken in one spot and boarded up because of it. She went in her room and threw her uniform on her bed and ran a shower.. Her mom wasn't on.. Which was a relief, but also horrible because she was probably out drinking again. The only thing illuminating her room was the light from her laptop.

The shower was hot, and nice, relieving to her nerves which had been twisting and turning all day. It almost cleansed the mood. When she got out, she put on a pair of boxers and plopped on her bed, despite the uniform, back pack, and sketchbook that cluttered where she layed. Her eyes dropped for a bit, and the last time she caught on the computer was 3am. She fell asleep to sirens ringing out, probably to respond to the disturbance next door.

Reno got off work around 10 as usual, but after he let them know about swim practice he had to be pushed up. He would now be let off at midnight. He rode his bike home, locking it up out front he went inside. Dorris and Gracia were talking at the front counnter when the noticed him. "Oh hello, Reno, how was your day?" "It was fine, Dorris." "Make any new friends? Got any homework? How was swim practice? Are you enjoying chess club?" Reno looked at Dorris with a smirk. "Uh...No, no, fine...Somewhat." Just as he finished his sentence he disappeared behind a corner and headed to his room. "Good night, Reno!" Dorris was peering around the corner waving at Reno as he got to his room. "Good night, Dorris." He replied just before heading into his room. "He's such a nice boy, it's a shame his parents are always on a business trip. They're missing out." "You know he's lying, right?" "What? Lying? What do you mean?" "His parents were both killed over the summer...It was in the newspaper." Dorris' face grimaced, shocked at the news. "A-Are you serious?! How does he manage?" "Well, he has a job...He can suprisingly get a room every night. It's amazing...He's only a boy and already has it this tough." "I'm going to go talk to him about it, I'm sure he-" "Don't, why do you think he lies? It hurts him to talk about it..." Just then they could hear Reno playing his violin, it went on for a few minutes. When it stopped, Reno had finally gone to bed.

The next few days were the same, except for the fact that he had to wear the stupid uniform. It's not that he didn't like the style, but the fact that girls chased him around even more, now. Ugh... this is why I never wear formal-wear. Everyday went like clockwork. This week, he stayed late every night to practice, though no one thought he needed it. During track, he would look up into the bleachers to find the intriguing freshman. Sometimes she was there, other times, she wasn't. Shinzuu tried to ask his friends about her, but he would forget to either because he woke up from his nap in class or because he was more focused on practicing. As Sunday came, Shinzuu groaned as he woke up at 9:00am. Hmmm... I might want to get to practice early so I can get a proper warm-up before our first game of the year. Shinzuu grabbed his stuff and hurried off to the school gym. As expected, he was the first on the team to arrive, and was surprised to find the door unlocked. It's only 9:30, who the...? Oh... Inside, on the sidelines, the cheerleaders were already practicing for today's game. Shinzuu went over to the side storage and changed into his shorts and tank top. He grabbed the cage of balls and brought them out to the court. He began doing stretches to get ready for practice. Beads of sweat trickled under his fur as he felt the eyes of half, if not all, of the cheerleaders starting at him every time he bent to touch his toes.

Veronica had very uncomfortable in her uniform the entire week, but other than that fact, her week had went on like usual. Nothing interesting happened. She might have been getting more looks from boys in her uniform but she didn't really pay attention. On Sunday morning, she got up at 7:00. She took a nice hot shower and ate her breakfast. She arrived at the school gym at 8:30 and went to a bathroom to change. They had been practicing for about an hour when Shinzuu arrived. They all continued to practice until almost everyone else seemed distracted. [color=teal"What's their problem?"[/color] She thought and looked around. When she spotted Shinzuu doing toe touches, her palm met her forehead. She lowered her hand and then clapped them both together a couple times. "Hey ladies! Aren't we supposed to be practicing not drooling?" She said looking at the others. The ones who were staring at Shinzuu looked to her with slightly disgruntled looks but returned their attention to practicing nonetheless.

A restless week. That's all it had been, and she'd been out a lot and night trying not to come home. She'd also been wearing her uniform, not at all bothered by the boy's uniform in comparison to the girls and had been hit on by a couple of girls that didn't realize that she was female. She actually kinda liked the uniform and busting on the girls that thought she was a dude. Their faces often contorted to red when they realized she wasn't a guy and they'd run off to gossip about her once they were embarrassed. She still wasn't making any friends in art club. She seemed to create more enemies than friends in there.

Sunday morning came and she was up at five. She had slept through Friday night and all of Saturday, not purposefully, but probably because of the lack of sleep she had over the week. She had gotten on her laptop and browsed the net for a while until she felt the urge to go out again. She was tired of everything. She decided to sit on the stairs outside.
