Anthro In A Human World
The alarm clock was going off at 5:30am, it was time to get up and go to school. First preparations were using a small bit of magic to hide both his ears and tail. A normal routine of showering, eating breakfast, and catching the train.
I was always nervous about taking the train, there were so many people and I was scared that one of them would find out that I wasn't normal. Each day this fear came, each day this fear never came true. A walk from the station to his school, Hibiya High School, it was a great school and he planned on getting into The University of Tokyo when he graduated.
During classes I would sit in the back and, for the most part, not talk to anyone. Today was one of the days that would change. Kenji Takahashi, a classmate, came over. "Why are you always so quiet?" Of course it would be this I thought. That was always the question.
"It makes it easier to study." Of course he just laughed at me. After all, everyone needed a bit of fun in there life.
"You're so weird sometimes." Yep, that was me... weird. This just meant I would have a few more days of peace before I was bothered again. I was the weird kid, and no one liked talking to the weird kid.
At lunch I would make my way onto the roof. Most of the time no one else came up here. Yet again, today was odd. I didn't have a lunch, I lived alone so I got by on just breakfast and supper. It wasn't easy, but it had to be done. Now my lunch was going to be interrupted by the same person who always had, Ayaka Ibaraki. She was bringing me lunch again."Hey Ayaka."
"Haru, how many times do I have to tell you to bring lunch?" I knew she was annoyed with me, but at the same time just joking around with me. I was surprised she could even stand to come around.
"I know... I'm sorry." I smiled to her, she was one of the people I could trust at this school.
"Don't do it again." She handed me a lunch and left. That was her, briefly there to lecture me and give me lunch. Then it was always silence during lunch.
Then there was the after school time. Every once in awhile my magic would slip up and reveal my ears and tails. Yet another bad day today. I was getting chased down an empty street and through alleyways. Always the same with these people. Run long enough and they would give up. And when they did I could finally make my way back to my small apartment. By then it was usually time for band practice.
Band practice was the only part of this life I loved. I would grab my guitar and make my way to my friends house. We would practice for a bit and talk about gigs. Nothing really special. It was always ordinary when I got there. I didn't even have to hide my ears and tail. They knew about me and they didn't care. They kept my secret and we kept on playing our gigs. It was how I was getting by on my own. Gigs did pay after all.
There is a day in my life that I don't regret, despite getting chased. It was a good day. A day I didn't get caught and beat up. A day I could go to practice without my friends worrying. It was my life, and that's how I was gonna live it.
