tw: mild (bad) words, and mentions of domestic violence The rabbit runs across the forest, scrambling under the cat's feet, running, pouncing, and killing. The bell rings “Please make sure to read chapters 12 and 13!” the teacher says as the students rush to leave the room. Not listening to the teacher's words trying to be the first people to get to lunch. “Claira? Claira?” Claira wakes up from her dream. “s41T! How long have I been asleep?” “Language,” Mrs. Autumn says scolding her, however she doesn't mind, she wasn't that type of teacher. “Now we need to talk after school about the sleeping in class and grades dropping” Claire groans and places her head on the desk. “I'm only trying to help you; if you keep this up you won't get into NYU.” Claire knew that she's just been struggling lately. Or as the teachers like to call it “needing a little extra help.” “Junior year is when things get serious so you need to step it up. It's only the first month and you're already failing half of your classes. Claira looks down at the floor. NYU had always been her dream and the fact that she was letting it slip away hurt. “I'll try to do better.” claira says. She always said that. The truth is things have been hard lately at home. Her dad left the house after a big fight with her mom. Her mom wouldn’t talk about it and all she heard that night was screaming glass shattering and the police sirens after the neighbors called the cops. So right now it’s just her and her mom. At least until her dad calls back, it goes straight to voicemail every time. “All right, well you better get to class.” Mrs. Autumn says. Claira begins to leave the class when she hears her teacher remind her “Don't forget to come by after school. I have someone who might be able to help.” Help with what? Claira didn’t need help. Or so she thought. Suddenly she feels something behind her. Something connected to her. tf? She looks behind her but nothing is there. It feels like a. No no, that doesn't make any sense. How can she feel something that isn't there? More or less. a tail? Was she going crazy? Or maybe there's a part of her she just hasn't figured out yet…
