Pt. 1 wimpy little deer
Pete loathed high school with a passion especially when he had to go to a human school. Pete had even had to wait an extra year to go to school so he was 18 and in his last year of high school. Most other children had to go to were schools so they didn't randomly turn and kill a child but Pete had control over his were side. Pete being a deer didn't even make sense considering he was the son of the alpha of Blue River pack in one of the hottest parts of North Queensland. His Dad was a were-dingo and his mother happened to be a were-tiger.
He slipped on the classic uniform of a white button down shirt, red tie and black shorts. Pete got up to do his hair and all that other stuff you do in the morning.
The staircase leading to the kitchen was basically a death trap for Pete because he always managed to stumble on some of the steps. The smell of toast wafted through the house and he knew father was in the kitchen because he claims to have invented cheese and vegemite toast but everyone knows that other dude did it.
"Dad, I'm going." I shouted as I hurried through the kitchen and snatched a piece of toast before going through the door getting ready to face any bitchy magpies that came at me.

School was being a bigger bitch than the magpies. 40 degrees heat, kids who thought it was funny to kick a guy in the balls (that guy may have been Pete) and the stupid relief teacher was late because he had to escort the new kid to class. Pete had to admit new dude was pretty hot, olive skin, hazel eyes and thick rusty red hair that fell into his eyes. Of course being the loner of the school Pete would have a spare seat right next to him on both sides, he really only had to endure forty minutes sitting next to possibly the hottest guy in the entire school. He gave his late attendance slip to the teacher and sauntered over to where Pete sat. Oh god he was fucking hot! Pete almost screamed when he quickly took a right so that he could ask stupid Emily if he could have her spot and of course she agreed, like who could say no to that hunk of hot meat.
School sucked when you had to be a human all day. Although he could choose when he wanted to shift into a stupid deer but it felt uncomfortable to have to keep it on a leash all day.
Pete got mostly good grades except for maths and social science but he loved to do art and media. Pete was amazing at art and loved that he could control the tools of art to create something deep and beautiful. His latest piece was a tiger taking care of a young deer, his mother had absolutely adored it.
"Mr Morgan care to give us the answer to question 4.38?" The teacher yelled out to him obviously he could tell Pete did not want to be in this class.
"Fourteen over thirty two." The teacher just shrugged and Pete continued to stare off to no where while he waited for the bell.

"How are you honey?" My mother asked as Pete trudged up the stares trying not to trip over his own feet as he made his way to his room.
