. Seashore Twilight, a therian story . . Chapter 1 : . Jess smiled as she stood next to her Claire and Ellie, they stared at a student over across from them. "What's going on?" Jess asked, raising her eyebrows. "Nothing," Ellie shrugged, "but you should- uh sit over there because well there's not enough space for you." She said since both of them already occupied a seat whenever someone else cut Jess off. Jess cocked her head, they had been avoiding her for a bit but that was just a coincidence. Right? She sighed, sitting next to the other kid on the bus. They were wearing a tiny deer tail, staring out at the window. They were bobbing their head with earplugs in to listen to music. They accidentally hit Jess and heir earplugs fell out. "Oop- hey!" They said as they turned swiftly, facing Jess. They picked up there earplugs awkwardly. "Sorry." Jess heard the song "The Milk Carton" play through as they out their earplugs away. "What's your... name? I'm Jess." She said pausing in between her words awkwardly. "Oh, I'm Autumn, nice to meet you Jess." There was an awkward silence. "Soooo- what music ya into?" Jess asked. "Country, gentle, humorous. But yeah, basically anything light-hearted." "Cool! I'm into Pop, Emotional and light rock. And not to be rude- but why do you have a tail on?" Jess asked politely as she could. "Oh- uh, I'll tell you later?" She sounded unsure, but they were stopping by the school now so she figured she'd meet Autumn on the bus later that day as she got out of the bus and on her way to her class. Her last period was mathematics, which was boring. But class was almost over with only five minutes left. As class ended she headed out to the bus.
