Walking into the classroom you look around at the mostly empty room. There were all sorts of hand made projects hanging from the walls and all the desks were arranged to make a couple large tables. "Mr. Neil! I brought in my show and tell that should work well with the lessons we're learning."
A man who was behind a desk got up and said "Ah Emily! Nice of you to come in early and to introduce me to your little friend. You are that cat girl she was telling me about right?"
You took off your little doctor's mask you smelled that the room was a little weird but regardless said "Yes I am. They call me Kathrine."
"Well isn't that nice? Well welcome to my class, it's wonderful to have you here even if it's temporary."
Emily said "It would be also nice if you'd behave like you always do and not be tense Kitty, we got a can of that nice tuna for you!"
Your ears perked up a little as you heard the door opening and you asked the teacher "um... Mr. Neil is it about time for class?"
Neil looked at you for a second and said "Perceptive, no that's one of my other students Stan. He comes here early and just reads one of his books." You turned your head and saw there was a little boy with glasses who had his face buried in some book. Neil continued "Well may as well pull up a seat near Emily Kathrine. It's going to be a bit of a long day of learning."
You took a seat and put it next to Emily and the class slowly filled in. Each of the little table groups generally were composed of 3 students per table group. Next to Emily were two other girls. A little vampire girl who called herself Margaret, and a stubby dwarf girl named Pris. You were able to introduce yourself in your little disguise and soon the lessons started. There was a math lesson up first to "wake up our little minds" and when no one volunteered to answer a question your hand went up and when you answered you got the answers right which somewhat surprised Neil although he didn't show it in front of the other students. Next up was social studies and they were continuing a lesson on the colonization of the forest lands and the domestication of certain soulless people such as the beast people. You felt a little uncomfortable to be called soulless, you were pretty sure you existed and had a soul whatever that was.
Neil said "Alright, now that we're talking about beast people Emily would probably like to give her show and tell now. Would you rise with your friend?"
Emily got up and helped you up to the front of the class. She announced "Hello classmates! I know that we are talking about beast people today and that just looking at the more savage ones in a book may make everyone think they are horrid people. So I brought one that I've known since well ever." She grabbed your bow and you got hold of your mask with your tail ready to be shown and as she undid your bow you made your hidden cat parts shown. "This is Kitty, say hello why don't you."
you smiled and said "hel-" you cut yourself off as a horrid ringing entered your ears and you went to all fours hissing toward wherever the sound was coming from. You felt someone hold you but you couldn't hear them. It was a few seconds latter but it felt like forever when the ringing ended. you were breathing heavily when you asked "what was that?"
That kid Stan said "Beast whistle, most species can't hear what the whistle however beast people can. I brought it for my own show and tell but I was curious if it would work. "
Emily who was holding you scolded neil saying "How dare you do that to her! She's like a sister to me!"
Stan explained "Oh come on, it's not like I was hurting an actual soul." he blew one more note that made you cringe and hiss.
Emily said "I'm sorry Teach... Kitty's not normally like this."
Neil said "I don't think your lying. she definitely seemed civil and smart enough to be dependable. Stan! see me after school! You should not be blowing that whistle around one of her kind."
Stan sighed and said "Sure Sure..."
"In the mean time I think it'll be a good time for you to stop for today Emily, I think you know that Kathrine probably needs a little break."
You said "thanks..." as you looked around the room as you saw everyone stare at you as if you were just some animal. Were you scary or something? As you went back to your seat Emily sat down, but you just went and just layed down on the floor. It felt more comfortable for your body to lay than sit anyways. You kind of just stayed down there for the rest of the day till lunch where.
