Snippet #2504623

Serein fumbled out of her room with her clothes barely put on. She was late, absolutely late. She'd overslept yet again and this time, she'd gone and missed an important lecture. She was sure if she just ran fast enough, she'd be able to at least get the last part in. Or, maybe, you know, just get her name on the attendance. She didn't need her records getting skewed by stupid, irrational, spontaneous parties and the endless amounts of alcohol involved in said activites. The party had been one of the wildest she'd been in by far and it was fun... Until morning came and here she was, ducking through people in the hallways, barely dressed and with a huge mop of bedhair on her head. She took another glance at her watch and loudly cursed, garnering her some reprimnds from wandering teachers. She paid them no mind. She only had less than ten minutes to save her skin.
"Oh, just-" She was still far from the classroom and the clock was ever ticking. She didn't have much of a choice except to... She grabbed at her back pocket and felt the small patch of furry wolf pelt. Her eyes shut close as she turned a corner, her sock covered feet sliding on the waxed tiles for a second, before morphing into paws that clutched t the wood and allowed her to continue her run faster. She ran, ignoring the surprised yelps and shouts, until she reached the final hallway. She could see it there, the classroom door. Just a few more- The sound of the door creaking open was like a megaphone to Serein's wolf ears. Her eyes zeroed in on her unimpressed teacher before falling to the floor beneath her. She didn;t need to be told twice; she understood that she'd just have to suck up and face the consequences. Ah well. the party had been worth it.
She went back to her room, dejected at having ruined yet another outfit in her hasty transformation. A quick change and shower later found Serein roaming the courtyards, having nothing else to do. She ran a hand through her still damp hair and surveyed around, looking for anything interesting, but she found nothing other than a few students milling about. She finally settled on one of the benches and tried her best to relax, soaking up the heat of the sun. "Merde.", she breathed out.
