Once Jen calmed down from bawling her eyes out down to a tired sniffle Ashley patted Jen on the back before letting go. Class had already started so regardless they were late for their next classes but being Jens best friend getting to class was the last thing on her mind when her friend was in such a state.
“Come on girl I have an idea, you are in no shape to go to class like this but we can’t leave school yet. My plan is to get you to the nurses office, other then the fact that the nurse is almost never their she generally leaves the room open for anyone that needs it. You can rest there and we will discuss our plans for getting back on that little shit that did this to you after classes.”
Jen meekly nodded relieved at her best friends support.
Ashley walked to the bathroom door unlocked it and peeked out. like she thought the hall was empty, it has always been disconcerting being in the halls when class has started but right now it brought with it a new risk of exposing Jens new features to whoever was still in the halls. It didn’t help that the nurses office was at the other side of the school but that is now irrelevant.
The coast was clear so Ashley grabbed Jens hand and began leading her towards the nurse’s office.
They ended up having to duck into class alcoves a few times to avoid hall monitors
As they walked Ashley began noticing that Jen was absentmindedly scratching her head where her human ears are. While not normally something Ashley would care about the frequency was… worrying.
“Jen you need to stop scratching your ears its getting distracting.” Ashley whispered back to Jen.
“Stop scratching what?” Jen whispered back, horse ears swiveling in Ashley’s direction.
Ashley getting curious reached up and moved Jens hair to the side to check on her ears. Her hand pulled away almost as fast as she moved the hair, her hand was now covering her mouth to suppress a scream that was threatening to break free.
“Ashley, W-What did you see? What’s on my ears?” Jen whispered panic rising in her voice.
“It’s nothing!” Ashley whispered unconvincingly.
Jen tried to reach up to feel her ears when Ashley grabbed her hand and said “ It’s nothing; lets keep moving, the coast is clear now.
Finally, they made it to the Nurses office, it looked somewhat abandoned but t he girls knew that they had free run of the place.
As they got in Ashley led Jen to one of the beds to rest when someone walked in after them.
“Excuse me girls, what are you doing here?” said a friendly but stern voice.
Ashley turned around and said “oh hello Ms. Murphy, Jen got a massive migraine bringing her to tears. I took the liberty to bring her here to rest.”
“Oh that’s to bad. Well make yourself comfortable Ms. Smith get some rest and let me know if you need something. I will be in and out of the office but you will be fine to stay as long as you need.”
Now Ms. Roak please go to class. I will give you a hall pass so you are fine but lets let Jen rest for a bit and you can’t talk to her later.
Jen Squeaked out and said, “thank you, I am going to close this curtain for some privacy”
Sighing in relief Jen laid down on the cot like bed just to rest. Slowly she reached up and felt her ears. She couldn’t see them without a mirror but she didn’t need to, her ears were much smaller. If Jen had to guess they were slowly disappearing. Although she tried the tears started flowing again and she began saying “ I am turning into a freak. What can I do?!?!”
