Deep in thought and in the zone, Donta continued to feverishly type on the console, when he heard a quick buzz behind him making him jump. He stopped suddenly and looked up, the world around him once again coming to light and he slightly panicked when he realized everyone was leaving class, and his teacher was standing behind him, peering over his shoulder for an unknown amount of time.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Pretty impressive, Donta." she said, "However, I do not appreciate someone trying to find out about me by hacking sites on the internet. You know you can get expelled by doing that here?" before he could answer, she raised her hand, "Look, I'm not going to say anything, but you're staying behind after school to explain yourself." she yanked the cord out from the terminal, gave it a tug and let it retract into his arm device, making him jump.</span><br/><br/>A feeling of dread washed over him. Anglea scoffed at him as she left and the rest of the class nearly cleared out. He stood and opened his mouth to apologize but Kate jumped up and grabbed his wrist, then pulled him out into the hallway.<br/><br/>"Donta, that was very stupid. Do you know what she does to guys who try and dig up stuff about her to get close to her?" she asked, "She makes their lives a living hell. She does it for sport. She likes to tease them, then in the end, crushes their feelings relentlessly. I can't believe you would fall for that! Is she even your type?" At this point, Kate's cheeks were pink.<br/><br/>"Type? Is that what you think?" Donta asked, "I'm just curious about her. She seems way too young to be a teacher able to teach all subjects. She looks like she could put any PE teacher to shame. Did you ever wonder?"<br/><br/>"If there's one thing I've learned about this school is to not stick your nose into anyone's business." she said, "I don't want to see you get in trouble on your first day."<br/><br/>"Well thanks. I guess."<br/><br/>She smiled and waved for him to follow, "Come on. Let me show you where the cafeteria is real quick before next class."<br/><br/>-------------------------<br/><br/>He stood, arms crossed and leaning against the locker behind him, his eyes scanning over top of people's head as they milled around the hallway. His eyes rarely showed compassion or kindness. Even he rarely even saw Humans normally, all he saw were Ferals standing out from the rest of the students. Saw them like targets and nothing more. A disease in the student body. Animals in the hallway.<br/><br/>"Hey Cody."<br/><br/>He looked down for a moment, seeing a team mate wearing the same letter jacket as he, but the guy was much shorter.<br/><br/>"Mitch." he simply said.<br/><br/>"Watchadoin, man?" he said, his thick Mexican accent cutting through the dull drone of people chattering, "Watcha, lookin at?"<br/><br/>"New meat." he said, "Wild, disgusting, diseased meat."<br/><br/>"Look, Bro. There ain't nuthin you can do about it, ere." Mitch said, "I hate dem as much as you, holmes. I know your dad wouldn't like you gettin' in shit and screwin' up yer education, man. Two more years, man. Two more years."<br/><br/>"Not soon enough." he said, pushing off of the lockers. He locked onto one Feral in particular and began to close in. He was frustrated to have to spend another two years in this hell alongside those monsters and needed something to vent on. This new odd ball of a Feral was the perfect outlet for his frustrations. He was an abomination for a Feral too, a dirty mutt that would make the perfect first victim of the year. He was focused on this bastard, then he noticed Kate standing next to him. She then began to lead him towards the cafeteria. With Mitch behind him Cody grabbed the back of the Ferals shirt and hauled him backwards to the floor, when Mitch made a subtle kick to the back of the Feral's knee. The way he landed hard on the linoleum made Cody feel better.<br/><br/>"Sorry man. Watch your step!" he chuckled as he walked by. Kate heard the thump and turned around, knowing exactly what had happened.<br/><br/>"Cody, you asshole! What the hell is your problem? He did nothing to you!" she yelled, rushing to Donta's side, "Are you alright?" Donta nodded and sat up, his head now pounding.<br/><br/>"Just existing is enough." he said, "And you're just the same as those animals. Probably caught some disease from them long ago. It's why no one will get close to you."<br/><br/>"Cody, you're an asshole. Why do you hate Ferals so much?" She yelled. Donta saw tears in her eyes and noticed the other students seemed to ignore them.<br/><br/>"You wouldn't understand. They cause more trouble for Humans than their worth. They're a stain on the purity that is the Human Being." he said, "They should all be euthanized." With that, he continued on to the cafeteria with Mitch tagging along, leaving Donta and Kate on the floor.<br/><br/>"You don't need to defend me." Donta said, standing up, "There's no point to it anymore. I'm numb to it now."<br/><br/>"It's not fair. People like that.....I want to punch them in the face so bad....." she said, then wiped her tears, "He's a jerk."<br/><br/>"Was it true about what he said. Did you really have no boyfriends at all because you are friendly to Ferals?" Donta asked, then thought he shouldn't have, but she nodded and pulled him to the side of the hall out of the way.<br/><br/>"Not just boyfriends, but any friends." She said, "Any Human friends I try to make get wind of Cody's rumors about me and they leave. Most Ferals aren't interested in making friends with me because they are wary about Humans. I'm surprised you haven't ran off yet."<br/><br/>"Kind of hard to run far. You live next door." he said, making her smile, "But I haven't seen anything yet to run from." The bell rang again and they began following the flow of other students as they returned to class.<br/><br/>"Thanks." Kate said, "Sorry that your first day had to be this way."<br/><br/>"It was one of my better first day's actually." he replied.
