The bell rang and Donta stood, stepping around his console. Angela bumped into him as she passed and he fell, but caught himself on the chair in front of him. He took notice to how much room she had to pass him and his mood dropped further as he stood and left the class.<br/><br/>"Donta." Her chair pulled up to the boy, "Why... why did you do that?" She stared at him, unsure about so many things about him, was this a joke? Was he for real? She had never had anyone try this hard to pull a prank on her, so she doubted that could be it, he had to be real, he seriously just got into trouble for her. Why?<br/><br/>"Venus." She said simply, finally deciding he didn't need to answer her question. "I was born in the Mirandine ocean on Venus, but I most recently lived on earth, Russia. That's where my mother is from." She smiled beneath the cloth. She could talk about the oceans on Venus for hours, but she tried to keep it as simple as possible.<br/><br/>Donta walked beside her chair as they headed to their next class. He was lost in his own thoughts as she asked her first question, but when she suddenly said Venus, Donta snapped out of it and listened to what she had said.<br/><br/>"I'd like to see Venus someday." He said with a smile, then finally took notice to people staring at him. He couldn't figure out if they were staring and trying to figure out what he is, or maybe they were staring at him because he was with Kat. From the way people looked at her, and how shy she seemed, he could tell she wasn't that popular here, "What class do you have next? I have Geometry."<br/><br/>Entering their next class, he eyed Angela near the back and another Feral sitting across from her. There was an obvious division of cliques in this school even though it was supposed to be an attempt at coexistence. Everyone had their reasons to hate Ferals, as Ferals had reasons to hate Humans, even if they are unjustified towards the whole race. If they only knew the truth about him, everyone would have a reason to hate him.<br/><br/>As more people joined the class, he noticed that this one had the Ferals vastly outnumbered by Ferals, With only he and four other Ferals in the class, five if Kat followed him as well. When the teacher walked in, he eyed his roster and saw who was logged in, taking note of the new student.<br/><br/>"Donta." he said, "Administration has notified me to tell you to go to the infirmary. It seems your medical information is vastly outdated." he lowered his eyes to his screen then back up to look him in the eye, "It seems the only medical records any of your previous schools had were your records at birth."<br/><br/>"I'm sure I had more recent scan's done, Sir." he said, getting nervous.<br/><br/>"Well, go to the Infirmary now and get new ones done." he said. Donta hesitated and his nervousness showed. The medical scans themselves were painless, yet he knew once they saw his DNA, his secret would be out. When the Teacher cleared his throat, he stood and padded up the isle and out into the hall.<br/><br/>He thought of just leaving or hiding somewhere until enough time had gone by for the procedure, yet the school Administration would still be lacking the information and he would get into even more trouble. Sighing heavily, he headed towards the Infirmary and jumped when he saw his Mother sitting in the Doctor's office as the door opened.<br/><br/>"Mom? What are you doing here?" he asked. She looked just as nervous as he did, and just patted the seat beside her. Donta sat and waited in silence until the Doctor showed up, a tall, red-headed woman.<br/><br/>"I don't see how his other schools let him continue without proper and updated Medical Information, Mrs. Rane." the Doctor said. Rane glanced at her son and flashed a nervous smile.<br/><br/>"Oh, you know how things are. When you move as much as we do, thing's get overlooked." she said.<br/><br/>"Now I see the latest version of his Medical records are taken at his birth." she said, "Surely, you can't tell me he hasn't been in a hospital or gotten hurt since then."<br/><br/>"Well, you see..." Rane began, "I'm a Nurse myself. He never did anything to get himself hurt enough that I couldn't handle it."<br/><br/>"So you know then, as a Nurse, that his medical records should have been updated through the public access site on the National Health Board Website, right?"<br/><br/>"Ah, yes. Another oversight." She said, then the Doctor reached for a hand held scanner, but Rane's furry hand shot forward to catch her wrist, "Can't I just do the scans myself tonight and upload the data to the NHB?" The Doctor's eyes narrowed as she started to get suspicious.<br/><br/>"You know, whatever you are trying to hide would still stay between the three of us due to Doctor-Patient confidentiality. You can trust me, Mrs. Rane." Donta watched his mother, glance at him with an apologetic look and she lowered her arm, letting the Doctor pick up the scanner. She motioned for him to sit on the bed and he lumbered up to it as she turned on the scanner.<br/><br/>Everything was fine as she poked and prodded it a few times to narrow the scan, then Donta watched as her eyes slowly widened as she began glancing up at him, then back down at the scanner.<br/><br/>"What is this?" she finally asked, "Is this a joke?"<br/><br/>"You said this would remain confidential, right?" Rane asked, "Well, Donta's father is Human." Donta remained silent as fear had caught in his throat. He would have to move again. He would have to find another school that wasn't so strict on up to date medical information. He thought of Katina and how the chance to finally have a friend just slipped through his fingers so fast.<br/><br/>After a long pause of the Doctor staring at the scanner, she sighed, then a wide smile formed on her face.<br/><br/>"This has been a long time coming." she said, "You may even be the first and only Hybrid alive. I won't tell a soul due to the way things currently are, but I urge you to be careful here."<br/><br/>"Thank you, Doctor." Donta said.<br/><br/>"Of course, I'll alter the records of course as they were before." she said, "Also, let me be your family doctor while you are here. It would make things a lot easier.<br/><br/>"We would like that." Rane said.<br/><br/>"Alright then. Donta, you head back to class and I'll get the paperwork done. Donta nodded and left them to chat as he headed back to class.<br/><br/>The door to the classroom slid open a little too quickly as the Teacher jumped and dropped his light pen.<br/><br/>"Please take your seat again." he said as he bent over to pick up his pen. Donta took his seat once more and nervously logged back in, the console opening up his work.
