"Come on pops you've never made me go to school before," I whined as my dad packed a brown paper bag in my purple and black backpack. "Stop complainin' son you need the schoolin' I can only teach you so much. Besides this way you can make actual friends instead of your brothers and my employees here." I rolled my eyes as he cuffed Rufus' head as he tried to take a cookie from the jar above the stove.
I sighed and grabbin' my bag I head down the stairs and towards the double doors of the huge brick house I lived in with my fathers, brothers and sister. I continued outside and toward the white Bugatti Veyron car, just as I was going to climb in I heard my name being called from behind me. Turning I see my sister running from the garden with the biggest smile on her face and a bright gold rose in her hand.
As she ran up to me I knelt then picking her I kissed her cheek, “How are you, Anna?”
“Great I’m gardening with dad,” She said holding up the flower, “See, this is for you, a good luck charm for school.”
I smiled softly at her and allowed her to pin it onto my white t-shirt under my thin, grey scarf, brushing some of my long silver hair back over my shoulder. “Thank you Anna, I love it.”
She smiled even wider and when I placed her back down she skipped off back to the garden. I smiled as her back disappeared and then turning back to the car I climbed in and told the driver to head to the center of the city toward my new school.
I was starting late in the school year and this was a reason I am worried to go to school. I would be the new kid for weeks, always the center of attention and never left alone, as well as the fact that I am the eldest son of one of the richest man alive who also happened to be a purebred claw. I groaned inwardly as the car came to a stop in front of Firestar High School. The school was a huge red building with tinted windows on every floor, which there were four.
I gulped and walked through the big glass doors into the lobby. I beelined to the office and openin' the door I walked to the front desk. The woman sitting there looked up and tucking her hair behind her ear she asked, "How may I help you?"
"Uh hi, my name is Jack and I was supposed to start school today?" I managed to choke out. The woman looked over her paper and then with wide eyes she asked "Are you really Jack Icekit? Son of Nick and Angelo Iceclaw?”
“Umm, yes…” I said wincing.
“Oh man can I shake your hand?”
I put on a fake smile then reached across the counter to shake her hand. Grinning she then pointed me to the right room.
"Okay thanks," I mutter as I head out of the office door and toward the stairs. I walk up the stairs to the third floor and going down the hallway I glance left and right looking for room 305.
When I finally found it I sucked in a breath and knocked. From inside I heard a woman ask someone named Aiden to open the door. The door opened to reveal an adorable African American boy with cute little black dreads. He looked up at me with gorgeous blue eyes that met my green, gold ones. We stare at each other for a bit before I break the silence. "Could I come in?" He blinks and nodding he stepped back. I walked forward into the hell hole that would define my life forever.
As I walked into the classroom I could feel all eyes shift onto me and I looked out at the crowd of students. Let the murmuring start. The teacher walked from the back of the room to meet me at her desk. "You must be our new student, correct?"
"Yup that's me, ma'am," I replied nodding to her.
"Welcome to Firestar Highschool Mr...?" She looked at me expectantly.
"Icekit, Jack Icekit." I muttered to her but the whole room heard me and there were gasps, whispers and some, “Oh my god he is hot!”
"Mr.Icekit." She finished with only a slight brightness to her eyes. Then motioning for Aiden to come to her and she introduced us, "Aiden this is Jack Icekit, Jack this is Aiden Blackclaw top student and one of the only Claws to bless this school besides his twin brother Rufas"
“Oh, your Rufas’ brother!” I exclaimed looking at Aiden.
“Yeah, did he tell you about me?”
“He just said that he had a really smart baby brother who wished would work with him at my bar.”
Chuckling Aiden held out his hand to me, I shook it Smiling. Giving me a warm smile Aiden let go of my hand and turned back to the teacher, "Let me guess you want me to show him around the school."
"The all-knowing Aiden, yes that is what I was going to ask." The teacher said chuckling.
"Sure I'll do it." He said and looked back at me, "First things first we need to find you a seat" He looked around before grabbing my hand and pulling me to the back of the room, “You can have the seat next to me.”
I sit down at my desk and drop my back next to me while Aiden took a seat at the desk next to me and he leaned over to whisper in my ear, "Glad to finally meet you, my brother talks about you a lot."
I smile at him, "glad to know at least someone here who won't fanboy/girl about me."
“Ha, yeah well my friends and I can help with that.”
“Really?” I asked looking at him in surprise.
“Yeah, we’ll steer you away from the crowds.”
“Hmm, thanks that would be great.”
“No problem.”
I smiled again at him and was just about to ask him something else when the guy next to me said, “Hey just because you a hotshot don’t expect joy from everyone.”
I looked over at him, he had blond hair, brown eyes with a black paw in the center and a glare in his eyes. He scowled at me before turning back to the front. How dare he-that insolent pig. I didn’t ask to be born into my family, I didn’t ask to be the son of some rich guy, I didn’t ask to be fawned over and given whatever I asked for.
I glanced over at Aiden and saw that he had a shocked look in his eyes as my ora heated up. Responded to the look with my own questioning one. He leaned over and said, "Look at your eyes.”
I quickly pull out a small hand mirror and looked at my eyes. They were catlike in shape and color with the gold irises surrounded in a pool of green which was normal. What shocked me was that in the center of my eye a glowing star was shining behind my usual silver swirls. As I watched the glowing of the star faded into a dull pulsing then faded away completely. I sigh and put the mirror down. Whatever that was it's gone now.
I turned back to Aiden and shrugged my shoulders he copied the movement before turning back to the front. I look up at the Teacher then behind her to the clock which showed it was only 10:30, wonderful I still had 5 hours of bloody hell. I growl to myself as the anger of having to go to school when I didn't need to, warmed my blood.
Running a hand through my hair I watch as the teacher droned on and on and on, I mean seriously do they have a stop button somewhere anywhere? Sighing again I sit back in my chair and "try" to look like I wasn't napping. Apparently it worked because I wasn't bothered till the class period ended and someone bumped my shoulder. I jerked awake and looked over to see Aiden there, "Coming?" He asked.
"Yeah," I mutter as I get up and stretch, yawning. I roll my shoulders to ease the tension in them. "Lead on." I said motioning towards the door.
As we walked down the hall I could hear the whispers of people as they stared at me. It wasn't like loud whispers either, I could hear the voice of a girl down the hall tell her friends, "Hey isn't that the son of Jack and Angelo Ice claw?"
I shake my head to try and clear the voices but no matter what I did, I could still hear them. I grew dizzy and just barely was able to ask Aiden where the bathroom was. He quickly pointed it out and I just was able to get in there to grip the sink so I wouldn't fall. Thank god there wasn't anyone in there at the time.
I pinch the bridge of my nose as I breathed deeply trying to block all of the noise. I gripped the sink harder and harder as my dizziness got worse. I felt a crack run along the edge of the sink. I pull back and look in shock as a huge crack split down the middle of the sink.
I backed away from the sink as fast as I could. What the hell is going on with me? I hear the bathroom door open and I look up as Aiden walked in and froze. He looked at the sink then me, back at the sink then back at me. "So...you gonna tell me WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE?"
I raised my hands up in surrender, "Hey don't look at me I have no clue." Walking over to the sink Nick whistled and touched the crack along the edge of the sink. He looked over at me and raised an eyebrow, "I knew you would be strong with those muscles of yours but not this strong dude."
I coughed and ran a hand through my hair, "Um yeah." I slid around him heading toward the door. "Whoa, where are you going?" Said Nick as he gripped my arm holding me in place. I look at him and wrench my arm away, "Umm going to my next class...where is that by the way"
He shook his head and smiling again he lead the way back out into the hallway and back into the many noises of the school. I glance back at the broken sink before following him.
I walked along the hallway as I tried to block all of the whispers and murmurs of things I had gotten all too used to. As I reached my class I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turn to see the guy from before standing with his gang of friends.
"Hey there Jack how are your parents doin' huh hows the clubs? I heard you recently made your own bar that is open to everyone even the sex slaves-I ment humans like your sister.”
He sneered at me as his friends laughed at me, "I mean how do two respected Claws end up with the eldest whos a kit and a daughter whos a fucking sluty human."
I growl low in my throat. I can take any insult about me easily but when people started to speak ill about my sister I can't stop my anger. I take a step forward and straighten to my full height, "You wanna repeat that?"
The guy gulped and took a small step back as his tiny height of 5'7 shrank under my towering height of 6'9. "Come on bud say it, SAY IT!" I snarled as I back him against a wall. When I yelled I noticed my eyes began to heat up. They took one look at my eyes and his friends tried to pull me off of him so I turned my anger on them. I whirled and summoning a gust of wind I threw them against the wall
I looked back down at the bully and then I began to smirk as I looked at him and his friends as they scrambled away from me. I chuckled and smirked until a teacher walked out and asked, “What is going on here?”
I looked right into his eyes and said, “Nothing sir, nothing at all.”
A glassy look came into his eyes and nodding his head he backed in his classroom closing his eyes. I felt a hand on my shoulder and looking over it I saw Aiden with a concerned look in his eyes.
“Are you alrig-oh nope, nope you not. Okay, let’s get you away from here.” I blink several times before the heat in my eyes died down and I looked around at the totally dazed eyes of all of the students. I back away as they all returned to their daily school day routine. I looked over at Aiden and saw that he was looking at the students too before looking back at me with a blank look then taking a step forward, he asked, “Hey you okay? Come one let’s go to our next class.”
I pulled away from him and turning around I ran to the stairs as hot tears ran down my cheeks as only one thought ran through my head, What the hell is happening?
