By Kitsune General
Description: I don't like giving very much information in a description. It spoils the story. But, I will give a few details. Our adventure through scholastic learning and college life takes place at a University in the Northern United States. We start a few days before the semester starts.
Ryan lay on the ground with his jacket open and his hands behind his head. The orange fur on his tail and ears blew in the breeze along with the grass around him. His long blonde hair lay flat under his back. He had decided to take a nap after the past few days of unpacking, memorizing the campus, and setting up his computers. He finished faster than he had expected which meant he had a few days to relax around the relatively quiet and cool campus. He had found the nice field he now relaxed in during his exploration of the schools grounds. A slightly stronger breeze made his fox ears twitch as he slowly opened his eyes. Rain was coming. He sighed at not being able to stay and enjoy the rain due to the multiple tech devices he was carrying. He stood up and zipped up his jacket to cover the white T-shirt he was wearing before making his way through the small bit of woods between the field and some of the dormitories.
Upon arriving at his room, he noticed the door he locked earlier was now unlocked. He opened the door and noticed two black-furred wolves wearing blue jeans and T-shirts moving boxes into one of the rooms. His arrival didn't go unnoticed, but the wolves finished moving the boxes they were currently carrying before walking back into the living room to address him.
"You must be our new roommate." the slightly taller wolf stated. "My name's Alec."
"And I'm Chase." the other added.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Ryan." the human-fox half-breed replied. "What year are you two?" he questioned noting they were a few inches taller than himself who stood at 6-1.
"Sophomore." they answered in unison. "And you must be a freshman. Need any help moving your stuff in?"
Ryan shook his head and opened the door to the room across from theirs. There was a wide desk against the wall with three computer modems, 6 monitors in 3x3 formation, and 4 external hard drives. Dark orange blankets were on the bed along with crimson pillows. Scattered anime posters covered the walls along with a full body mirror. The two wolves were in slight shock. then they looked at the quizzical look they were receiving from the kitsune.
"What do you need all that for?" the wolves questioned.
"Work. I manage a database for a national scholarship program."
They exited his room and Ryan closed the door. He helped Alec and Chase move there stuff into their room, but they refused to let him help them unpack. With everything he had already observed about them, he could make a few guesses as to why. He watched T.V. in the living room using the connection between the flat screen and his computer while they finished unpacking. After the unpacking was complete they joined Ryan in watching Wolf's Rain for a while.
Up one floor, a white rabbit wearing a blue sweater and a green skirt, and a light-brown furred wolf wearing black dress pants and a dark green, button down, collared shirt were unpacking their stuff. The rabbit stood at about 5-4 and her wolf friend was 5 foot. The two girls finished filling their rooms they made a last minute check to make sure they were to their liking. The rabbit's room had a writing desk with a lamp, posters of Athena the Greek god of wisdom, and a book shelf for multiple critical thinking subjects. The wolf's room was filled with green everything, a drawing desk, and posters for plays and operas on the walls. They both nodded in approval at their rooms then headed into the kitchen for a snack.
Ryan was riding in the elevator to every floor since he enjoyed riding in elevators. When he got to the floor above his and the door opened, he saw smoke coming out from one of the doors with a white rabbit standing in the hall shaking her head. He exited the elevator and went over to offer assistance.
"Is something wrong?" Ryan asked the sighing rabbit.
"Just a little cooking failure." She said looking up at him.
"Is something on fire?" he wondered.
"No." she replied.
"Jenn! What do I do with the toast?" a voice said from in the room.
"Put it in the trash of course." She replied.
"Toast?" Ryan asked as the smoke began to clear.
"Sadly, yes." She sighed before her wolf companion exited the room.
"All clear." The wolf smiled triumphantly.
"Alright. Thank you Mr.?" She stated.
"Ryan" he replied.
"Mr. Ryan, for your concern. And as for you Frankie." Jennifer said before forcing the wolf back into the room already beginning a speech about not being able to cook anything ever again.
He shrugged and returned to his elevator. After visiting all the floors, including the roof, Ryan returned to his room where he found his roommates napping on the couch in their living room. He was beginning to think that his time in this dorm would get a bit weird with them. He shrugged the sight off and went to his room to go to bed. He put on his navy blue pajama pants and climbed into bed.
The next morning, brushed his hair and put on a pair navy pants and crimson T-Shirt before walking into the living room. There he found Alec watching T.V. in blue jeans and a white T-shirt. He made himself some cereal in the kitchen then sat next to Alec on the couch.
"Where's Chase?" he asked?
"Work." Alec replied.
"Ah." Ryan responded while putting a spoon full of Pops in his mouth.
"Tonight we were planning on hitting up the club just a few miles off campus. Most of the students here go there." Alec asked.
"Clubs aren't really my thing." He answered.
"Don't worry. Me and Chase will look out for you." The wolf reassured with a smile.
"Alright, I guess it couldn't hurt." Ryan agreed.
"Awesome."
Ryan spent the majority of his day on his computer running programs and writing code to make up for the time he lost over the past few days. At around 7, he had finished making sure all the companies current demands were being met with the programs and code he now had in place. A few minutes later, someone knocked on the door to his room.
"Who is it?" he asked.
"It's Alec. We're headin out in a few minutes. If you're still coming, you should get ready." He explained through the door.
"Alright, I'll be out in a sec. Just got to power down." He replied as he began shutting down his computers.
Five minutes later they were out the door and heading down to the 1st floor. On the way to the club, Alec explained how tonight might not be as bad as usual since not too many of the students have arrived at the school yet. It was still an of campus club, so there would still be plenty of people. When they had finally arrived, it was full of furs, hybrids, and humans. The three of them went over to the bar and ordered their drinks. Chase received a glass of wine; Alec got some Blue Moon, and Ryan a glass of ice water. The two wolves laughed a bit at his choice before Ryan went of and sat at an empty table in a corner of the club. Alec and Chase sat at the bar and drank and talked while Alec watched Ryan. Throughout the night, about 8 girls had visited Ryan's table, but he seemed to turn them all down.
"Guess he really doesn't like clubs." Alec said to Chase.
"Hmm?" Chase looked at Alec confused.
"Ryan. He said that clubs weren't his thing earlier. I guess he wasn't lying." Alec explained.
"Why do you say that?" Chase asked.
"He's been sitting alone since we got here, he ordered water, and every girl that went to talk to him got turned away." He confirmed.
"Really?"
Alec simply nodded. They watched Ryan for a few minutes before they continued chatting. At around 10 they decided to call it a night and head back to the dorm. The ride back was relatively quiet. The wolves decided not to question their fox friend, but he seemed distracted. As soon as they got back, Ryan went to sleep leaving Chase and Alec slightly worried. They decided they would ask if anything was wrong in the morning and headed to bed. Ryan lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling.
