Sweat pouring down her forehead, she snapped up in bed with a cry, as thunder clashed nearby. She spit out a sigh of relief, panting. Just a dream. Just. A. Dream. She repeated to herself. Gah. What was with those things lately? She looked at the time, glad she didn't have a morning class today. She walked to her closet and grabbed a gray, baggy shirt with three-quarter sleeves. She threw it on and it hung off one of her shoulders. A pair of leggings were tossed onto the end of her bed, she put those on too. Her hair was the next step to tackle--YUCK! She quickly braided it to a side. And tied the end in a purple bow.

As she went for a walk in the rain, a song stuck in her head, made it all the way down to her bare feet. This was often a trouble for Amelia. She couldn't keep her feet still. She counted out the steps in her head, one-two-hand flick-four. . . On and on she went. Loosing track of where she was and what time it was. One-and-stomp on two. She could dance endlessly for hours, but those hours were cut short when she bumped into someone, Mumbling a 'sorry'. She hurried off. This time with a destination, the lunch room. Her stomach was yelling to be fed. when she entered she shook of most of the water like a dog. She grabbed an apple and sat in the table to the far corner. She took a bite, and apple juice ran down chin. She wiped it with her wrist. What to do today? Her aching muscles answered that. Amelia tossed the rest of the apple and headed to the woods.

She found a branch hanging just above eye level and scanned the area quickly, no one. Good. She placed her clothes up on the branch and quickly made the transformation. Starting from her head, she shook out the kinks in her muscles , all the way to her tail. She let out a raspy howl, She hadn't made the change in a while. Here at the school, She found herself alone quite a bit. It was hard to not be so alone. She stressed about her family back home, Why wasn't she getting their letters?! She ran and pounced, rolling around. Driving her self crazy in her mind.
