Oak down High

Shane sighed and came out of his dorm, he had kinda just been sitting there after School ended. He yawned and scratched his head, A Wide smirk came across his face as he figured he'd have a little fun, he morphed The Same Large wolf he had yesterday and ran dead on at the door, jumping onto it to open it, he bounced off the now-open door and bolted the other way, morphing straight from a Wolf to a Horse, he ran around about 40 feet to the Right of the 'chill' building and stopped, snorting happily to himself. He had almost forgotten the Whole thing about Pepper, with the amount of times he;d been stood up.. he trained himself to Forget quickly..

Peppers quiet sobs, grew slighgly louder, and she sniffled pushing her hair out of her face, it was tear streaked nad raw fromt he tears that had been trickling down it for the past half an hour.

Shane snorted again and trotted in place, stopping flat when he heard something very faint.. in the form of a Horse, he had every bit of Excellent Hearing that any Normal Horse would have. He flicked one ear back and cantered towards the sound, stopping when he saw Pepper, he morphed a Wolf and sat down, tilting his head and watching.

Pepper sobbed quietly as she at ont he bench, covering her face with her hands, and trying to calm herself down as she rubbed her eyes.

Shane stood up to walk over, but stopped, thinking about how she completely abandoned him... He sighed softly to himself and shook his head lightly, trotting the other way and over under a tRee, about 50 feet away from Pepper, he sat down and watched, Sadness showed in his eyes, even though he was a wolf.

Pepper finally rubbed her eyes and leaned back, staring at a small bracelet that was hanging daintily around her wrsit, she scowled and tore it off throwing it at the ground, it had been a bracelet the boy had given her earlier that day, before she saw him with another girl.

Shane morphed human and bit his lip, leaning on the Tree again, he still watched Pepper. This was Killing him though, He Couldn't stand seeing someone he loved be sad.. He sighed softly and looked around, running behind the school building. He stood there for a minute, thinking, then morphing into a Kid, About 5 Feet tall, with short spikey hair. He made a face at how short he felt, being 9 inches shorter, and ran in a jog over to Pepper. "So-" He started and coughed to change his voice into a smaller one. "Something wrong?" He asked, a much smaller voice alot unlike his own.

Pepper lifted her gaze, her eyes red and puffy, she stared straight at the boy who was standing before her, and into his eyes, something looked familiar but she could place a finger on it, she shifted slightly uncomfortably, not liking to reveal personal feelings to a total stranger, she bit her lip and looked thouhgtfully at the ground for a split econd then looked back up at him. "Just heartbrokne." She replied in a choked, quiet voice.

"Thats a Shame..." Shane replied, hoping a lot that she didn't notice. He leaned on a Tree about two feet in front of her and to the left and pulled one foot onto it. "Its awful How some guys can be so inconsiderate." He added. "I know it sounds weird that I'm a total stranger talking to you.." He said with a light laugh, regretting the fact that he laughed normally, and not like 'some other kid'.He cleared his throat and stopped laughing. "But I'm a Good kid, and i'm here if you want to, you know, talk about guys who dumped you" He said "Or you dumped" he added in a Very low, raspy tone.

Pepper gazed at him long and steady, the laugh sounded so familiar, she tilted her head, then looked into his eyes, finding a friend, she knew she could trust him, even though she just met him. She went on to tell him that there was this guy and well she was sorta dating him, but earlier that day she had seen him carrying one of the 'naughty' girls into his dorm. And she was heartbroken. And she finnished with. "And i think this guy Shane that i like hates me now..i ignored him." New tears had sprung into her eyes as she talked. (i snuck on i might get caught )

"I see..." Shane replied and cleared his throat again. "Erm- I'm sure Shane, the guy I DON'T Know and have never seen... Isn't angry at you.' He said and bit his lip, looking down. "Talking helps" he added and looked up at her.

"I hope your right." she whispered and looked at the ground. "Thank you for listening to the history of my pathetic life.." She said really softly. "It's nice to have someone listen to you."

"Its no problem, Really" Shane replied with a smile. "So...." He said and looked around. "This Shane guy... do you like him?" He asked, waiting a few seconds before making eye contact with her.

"Mhm." she murmurred softly as she met his gaze, again getting the familiar feeling.

"Cool" shane replied with a smile, quite like his own, again. Hee bit his lip and looked back, getting a small stomach ache... It was a Side-affect he had noticed happened when he stayed in a morph form too long. "i- ah.." He said, holding his stomach, He looked at her, then back towards the school again uneasily. "I gotta go- Bye!" He said quickly and turned, bolting to the other side of the school as fast as he could. It was harder with shorter legs.

Pepper caught the small smile. Again somethnig rang in her head, she immediatly stood and levitated herself into the air, then flew towards the dorm buiding, she ran like mad down the halls, and slid to a stop at Shanes door. She knocked, and waited, not getting andanswer she knocked again.

Shane slid to a stop on the other side of the 'chilling' building and Looked around. Trying to catch his breath, He held his stomach and got a pained look on his face. Morphing himself again, he let out a sigh of relief to be tall again. Looking up and around, his bit his lip as his stomach still felt tight. He looked at the dorm building and ran over, getting to the other side of the property in about a Second. He looked around and raised an eyebrow as he didn't see Pepper where she was before.

Pepper was really confused, all those familiarities in that one boy sh had never seen before, and Shane's not in his dorm. She bit her lip and ran bak down the hal, sliding through the doors and crashing into the boy that had 'used' her. She growled under her breath and shoved past him. "Get out of my sight." She snaped at him when he followed.

Shane finally caught his breath and looked around once more, starting for the Dorm building, He kept his gaze down and smiled to himself.

"But-" She inturrupted him as her hand slapped him acrossthe face, she whirled around storming away, but without noticing Shane in her ath. Soon she felt herself colide with another person, she was ready to fire out an insult when she saw it was Shane, she sank back ."Sorry." She said softly.

"Its fine- I Was just looking to talk to you-" He said, cutting short when he looked up and saw the Kid. "Is- Is he bothering you?" He asked and scrunched his nose at him.

"Yeah..much." She said and grabbedhis arm gently tugging back towards the dorm building. "C'mon." She said. "You deserve an explanation fully including an apology." She looked at him.

Shane bit his lip and refused to move for a minute, just thinking of times in the past where girls had walked all over him, and left him. and he had been a push over and just accepted their apoligy without thought.
"Wait" He said uneasily "Right here. Right now I Want to know why you just deserted me..." He said in a more stern tone than he almost ever spoke in.

Peppers face twisted then then and there she burst into tears, clutching his arm tighter, "i....it----was stupid, i just....felt i w..w..wasn't good enough for someone...like you." She said through her sobs and released his arm taking a step back and sniffling.

Shane's expression instantly changed as he saw The first Tear. "i'm so sorry!!" He said and didn't stand half as tall as before, his face was almost pleading. "Please stop" HE said, feeling horrible now.
