"Sorry for getting you in trouble." she typed, "Talk after class?" Donta nodded with a smile, but the Human girl to his right spoke up to the teacher.<br/><br/>"They are both lying to you" Angela spoke up in the silence that followed. "He did something to his terminal and was talking to her. Looked like some kind of an instant message program which of course is not allowed on our school terminals"<br/><br/>Donta couldn't believe it. Already he had an enemy and he did nothing. He has seen many people like this, with personal grudges against Ferals. Still it was no reason to be so mean to him on the first day.<br/><br/>"Because this is your first day I am going to go easy on you and just assign you an extra assignment to be completed by tomorrow" then turning to Kat she just shook her head, "I am very disappointed in you Kat. Detention first thing tomorrow morning 6am, you know the rules here and know better" the teacher said in a soft disappointed tone. "Now if you two are done perhaps the rest of us can go on with the lesson without anymore interruptions?"<br/><br/>The teacher heard a sliding of a chair and turned to see Donta standing, his eyes locked fiercely on her.<br/><br/>"If she has detention, then so do I. I was the one who started the chat." he said, "She wasn't at fault here, I am."<br/><br/>The teacher blinked a few times in surprise at the new student, then sighed, turning back to the screen.<br/><br/>"Fine, Detention plus the extra assignment." she said, "You'll find chivalry has long been dead these days and the rare chance of it still goes un awarded."<br/><br/>Donta took his seat and glared at Angela in the seat next to him, but then he looked down at his wide hands and his claws that caused the problem in the first place. He knew they were feline claws that could extend. He saw his mother use hers often when cutting things or when cooking, but he had never had a reason to extend his.<br/><br/>With a huff, he sent one last message before ending the session and disconnecting.<br/><br/>"Sorry." he typed, then prayed for lunch to come soon.
