Welcome to Gaia! ::

Baralai smiled. "OK... so um what class do we have after lunch again.. I forgot."

"I think Social Studies, I am not entirely sure." He sipped at his coffee and set it down on the table again.

Gene was put into a panic. None of what just happened made any rational sense. None of what Richard said even could be real. It certainly seemed an elaborate ruse; Richard had gone to a lot of trouble to trick him. Gene tried to convince himself to be angry, but it fell flat and he was still only frightened and confused. It made no sense for Richard to know as much as he did either if it was only a trick. He'd only ever told his parents. Would it be at all rational for them to send someone like Richard to test his grounding in reality?

Gene watched Richard and Rae warily. And yet, despite his panic, he felt a bit guilty as well. They had been friendly and he was acting like a caged animal. So much for all his talk of logic. They had done nothing to justify his reaction. But they might. What if they did?

Gene hung his head for a moment, then looked around the cafeteria discreetly. He was making a scene. He hated to do that; leave or stay, he needed to decide now. And if he were fully honest with himself, he did not want to walk through the entire cafeteria with sneering onlookers making disparaging comments. Gene took a deep breath, straightened his spine and his expression, then strode as if nothing had happened to the rubbish bin. He plucked the sketch pad from the top and inspected it for any gross clingers on before offering it silently to Richard.

I looked out the window to the courtyard and noticed the fox girl. "I'll see you guys later I gotta fly," I ran out of the door and when I was out of sight I changed into a parot, and flew over to the girl, landing on her shoulder.

"I should get to my next class... I guess." Gene mumbled mostly to himself. He looked down at the sketch book he had rescued from the trash and decided to put it with his own books. "I will maybe see you later?" He says to Rae though he doesn't wait for an answer. He quickly gathers his things and leaves the cafeteria. He will be even more early than usual to his next class, but that was just as well. He could use a few moments of quiet to himself.

Gene slipped into the classroom to find the teacher was not even there. He chose an inconspicuous seat and sat his things on the desk. Once more he looked around the empty room. Alright, no one is here. There is no consequence if nothing happens. Gene mentally reassured himself. There was one quick and easy way to be certain of the truth. "I am a rational person. Nothing is going to happen... but I still need to know for sure." Gene said aloud, looking at his hands. He slowly exhaled and watched as he began to change.

The change panicked Gene and he began to shake. But the change was already happening and there was no stopping it. Before long, he was a Russian Blue. He cowers near his desk and mewls pitiably. How could this be real? It wasn't rational, it wasn't logical. Someone would come in and see him, Gene the boy, not a cat. And then this strange delusion would be over.

I walked into class and looked around, noticing the cat in the corner. I walked over and sat down next to it.
"awww... hello kitty," I said stroking it, "What are you doing in here, this is a school." I looked round and noticed no one else was there, "Hey, you like chasing squirrels, I bet you do." I ducked under the table and transformed, "Can't catch me!'" I sqecked running towards the window.

[[I have a new charater, aswell as Richard, this is her]]
