Author's Note: This chapter is slightly shorter than my normal one as the ended was too natural to try and lengthen it. Hope you like it!
Apparently really fucking hard! How the shit did I get in this situation? I remember resignedly packing for my new school and after travelling for a while I finally arrived and was ready to start my new school life in spite of circumstances being what they are only to find my way blocked by a much taller and much older familiar face. And said face was currently kissing the back of my hand!!!!
[Nooooooooo!] - Rose
Swinging my tail as hard as I could it connected with the waist of who I now recognized as the Prince and threw him so far he arced over the wall of the school. Rushing as fast as I could in the opposite direction I found myself on the school grounds with no idea where I was when I came to.
[Huh? How did I get here?] - Rose
Looking around for some clue as to my current whereabouts' I recalled the incident from a few minutes before and blushed with shame. How could he do that right after meeting me? That shitty prince!!!!
Realizing that I had never actually asked for his name and no one had volunteered it I frowned as I didn't have a name to attach to my most hated enemy. When I saw him next I would have to get his name from him, yes I would get his name then pay him back for this humiliation.
Not paying attention to where I was going I found myself behind a large building with students milling about, some of which paused to look at me before continuing onwards.
Wow! Almost everyone was a human! I was finally back with my own kind! Lost in my reverie I didn't notice 3 larger human boys approaching me until they spoke.
[What do we have here? Some Monster Bitch that thinks she owns the place!] - Stereotypical Thug #1
[Yeah! Don't you know that we humans own the place! Go back to your own kind!] - Stereotypical Thug #2
[Yeah yeah! You aren't welcome here!] - Stereotypical Thug #3
[H-huh? Monster? Where?] - Rose
Surprised that they were talking to me I blinked and looked around for the monster that they were referring to but seeing nothing I turned back to them only to see them laughing hysterically.
[Oh this little Monster Bitch thinks she's funny! Why don't we show her what we do to funny people?] - Stereotypical Thug #1
As he said this the other two circled behind me to block off any attempt to run as I shrunk from their aggression. If it came down to it I could beat all three within an inch of their lives since I was both larger than them and technically trained in martial arts but my father had warned me not to hurt human's while I was at school unless my life was threatened because I might cause serious harm with my larger body. The fear that I might accidentally kill one of them if I retaliated made me hesitate and both of my arms were grabbed by the other two as Stereotypical Thug #1 sneered at what he assumed was my fear of them.
[Not so funny now are you? Monster Bitch!] - Stereotypical Thug #1
Right as I was deciding whether to beat the shit out of them and be damned with the consequences a red blur suddenly appeared in my vision and Thug #1 went flying with his eye's rolling back into his head. Thug #2 and #3 backed away but it didn't save them as they also went down within seconds knocked out cold from a punch that I could only say that Master Lao Shi would beat.
[Is my fiancé safe? I hope these ruffians didn't harm you.] - Prince
Once again I saw the Prince on one knee with my hand in his as he gave me a once over with his eye's to see if I was hurt in any way. Removing my hand from his grasp I shut down any attempt to gain favor immediately.
[I was in no danger my Prince, I just didn't want to hurt these.... lowlife's by retaliating. It looks like you took over the roll of... dirtying your hands for no reason.] - Rose
[Ahh, right what is the Prince's name? I'm afraid I had no interest in learning it before this point and do not know it.] - Rose
[Arlen my lady, my name is Arlen.] - Prince Arlen
Leaving him still kneeling where he was I slithered away as regally as possible before realizing that I was still lost.
[Ahhh! That damn Priiiiiince! This is all his faaault!] - Rose
[What is the Prince's fault Young Mistress?] - Annabelle
[Ahh!] - Rose
Startled I turned around only to find Annabelle smirking at me with a grin that would put the Cheshire Cat to shame.
[Annabelle? Where did you go?] - Rose
[Ahh it's actually the Young Mistress that ran away with her figurative tail between her legs, leaving both myself and all of her luggage behind as she ran into a campus that she is neither familiar with nor known by any of the students. Do you know how worried I was?] - Annabelle
Hanging my head at one of the rare moments that Annabelle actually got angry at me I apologized sheepishly. After making sure that I was appropriately contrite a grin appeared on her face again.
[But THAT was rich though, seeing the Prince so worried about the safety of my little Young Mistress. He was positively beside himself with worry. My dear Rose is such a heart breaker...] - Annabelle
Pausing to see my reaction she laughed again when my face turned red. I swear it was with anger though, definitely.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Staring at the room I was going to be living in for the next four years my mouth was wide open in shock, even coming from a noble background with a fairly famous lineage I was shocked at the affluence of the room. Nearly everything was covered in silk and I could have sworn that any metal in the room was actually freaking gold!
My shock seemed to have been noticed by 3 other girls present in the room however as I was mobbed by them a moment after I entered.
[Oh my gawd she's adorable!] - Valley Girl Type Girl with Horns
[No you can't sink your claws in Ver, although she is very beautiful...] - Bookish Fox-Eared Girl with Glasses
[Both of you need to give her some space, can't you see that she's overwhelmed!] - Authoritative Human?
Pulling myself together after being blindsided by the 3 immediately after entering I introduced myself while curtsying.
[It is an honor to make your acquaintance, this one is called Rose de la Amcheir. Please take care of me for the next 4 years.] - Rose
[Ahahahaha! Oh gawd she's like all proper and shit! I'm like Veronica but you can call me slut if ya want!] Veronica
[Ignore the bimbo, she's a succubus and can't help herself, my name is Malaise. I'm a scholarship student so don't worry about treating me like a noble.] - Malaise
[And I... am Shade. A shapeshifter.] - Shade
Veronica kept laughing like a moron while Malaise attempted to control her and Shade just watched it all like it had nothing to do with her. Feeling more relaxed now that I was around normal, albeit very excitable people, I asked a question that came to mind at Shade's introduction.
[What's a shapeshifter? I've never heard of that race before.] - Rose
[Ahh well it isn't technically a race per say, it's more like a family trait. You see I'm kind of a special case as far as students go. Although you could say that about the other 2 of us as well.] -Shade
[Yeah yeah! The people's that are all in charge and shit thought that we'd feel better if we were with our own kind! I'd love to be IN my own kind if you know what I mean!] - Veronica
[Ugh! We all know what you mean, I literally have to keep you from boning half the student body at any opportunity!] - Malaise
[Ya know if ya want ta be exclusive ya could jus ask.] - Veronica
[A-a-as if I c-could you idiot!] Malaise
So much information was dumped on me all at once that it was hard to keep up but what I did know is that these three were all good people, a little quirky but definitely good people. Annabelle, who had been worried about who my roommate's would be, had been watching from behind me and seeing that she had nothing to worry about she excused herself before closing the door.
[Wait Annabelle!] - Rose
[Oh don worry bout her and shit, tendants gots their own place to hang and bang!] - Veronica
Draping her arm around my shoulder's as she pressed her large breasts against mine I blushed and turned my head away as she approached my face while licking her lips. Suddenly a large book hit Veronica on the head and while she was rolling on the ground in pain I saw Malaise with a look of accomplishment on her face.
[That'll show you! Next time think of the surroundings before trying to sleep with anything that moves!] - Malaise
Laughing at their antics I quickly broke into a fit of laughter as the relief of finding people I could see as friends broke over me. The rest of them smiled as they watched me laugh so hard I couldn't breath. Even Veronica seemed genuinely happy that I wasn't being awkward around them any more.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Several hours later we were all in our night clothes while on each of our beds, apparently the school had even moved in a custom bed for me considering my body size or so the other girls were telling me anyway.
[So so! I heard ya got harassed by some of those Church of Light asshole's and were saved by by Prince Arlen!] - Veronica
[Oh I'm a little interested in that as well, how do you know the Prince?] - Malaise
[...] - Shade
Shade didn't say anything but from how she leaned forward you could tell she was just as interested as the other two. Red in the face at the fact that incident had spread so far already she immediately refuted any relationship between her and Arlen.
[I barely know him, he's related to me through my father but I've only talked to him like three times in my whole life. I'm not connected with him at aaaaaall!] - Rose
[Methinks she doth protest too much, by the way, you know as a succubus I can sense arousal and..... you're practically dripping with it.] - Veronica
[T-That's because....] - Rose
[Quit teasing her Ver, you know lamia are attracted to women too, she's just nervous about being around girls her own age.] - Malaise
[Y-Yeah that's right! Exactly that! I would never be attracted to that Shitty Prince!] - Rose
Being given an excuse for both myself and for other's I felt relief wash over me as I swore to pay Malaise back in the future for her help. Veronica didn't seem to fully accept my excuse but dropped it with a shrug before changing subjects.
[Oh oh do ya know what class ya are in yet?] - Veronica
[I believe that she is in S class with the three of us actually, I asked the Principal about it yesterday.] - Shade
[Well that's convenient, I was hoping that you'd be able to be in our class. It's the smallest group in the school afterall.] - Malaise
[Huh? Why is that?] - Rose
Leaning in the other three girls whispered conspiratorially as if it was some great secret.
[That's cause S class is for everyone that's a bit of a... special case.] - Malaise
[Yeah yeah! Trouble makers get thrown there a lot!] - Veronica
[Basically it's a class for people who are either too much trouble to teach normally or are too powerful for the normal teacher to handle.] - Shade
Nodding seriously I found myself wondering if my schooling would be as smooth as I'd hoped it would be...
