Monster realm

Ms. Belfast sat in her classroom waiting for the bell to ring and all of her students to scuttle into class and take their seats. This was the first time in forever that there would be human students at the school. She wondered how she would be able to withstand the smell, or if she even could. Suddenly there was a loud ring from the bell outside her room, and in poured a horde of students, monsters and humans alike.
As they took their seats Ms. Belfast stared at the crowd her cold eyes almost ripping into the soles of any student that dared to look her way.
Finally everyone had taken their seats and Ms. Belfast began to take roll. She called name after name;
"Griffin!... Katjusha!..." She looked at the human girl a hint of hunger in her eyes as she took a deep breath then continued.
"Jessica!..."
No one raised their hand. No one called out. There was not a Jessica in the room. Naomi scowled and looked at her roll sheet again.
"Jessica Sterling!.."
Naomi growled under her breath as she marked the girl absent, then suddenly the door burst open and a girl with wild brunet hair almost fell through. She hurtled into the classroom but stopped abruptly as everyone looked up at her. She met the eyes of many of her classmates but none were as fearsome as the teachers.
Naomi was almost on top of Jess in a matter of seconds.
"Still getting your bearings I see. I will not have you being late to my class again! she quickly looked around the classroom and the first person that met her eye she called upon. "You!... Coriolus! You will be this girls guid!"
Before ether of them could complain Ms. Belfast was at the chalkboard. "Take a seat Sterling!" she growled lowly and the scraped her long sharp claws on the chalkboard creating a horrid sound that made almost everyone jump and cover their ears. "Now that I have your attention I think we should begin! For your first assignment I want you to get with a partner. Your partner and you will get to know each other and on Friday we will be drawing self portraits but your partner will be telling you what they see. You will draw yourself through your partners eyes." Naomi went and sat at her desk but when she saw that no one was really moving she jumped back to her feet and yelled, "Get moving!"
With that the classroom sprung to life and everyone was talking, trying to figure out who they wanted to be partners with.
Jess sighed and slowly lifted her head and looked at the boy Ms. Belfast had appointed her guid. She got to her feet and walked over to him.
"Your Griffin right?..." Jess stuck out her shaky hand and smiled. "I'm Jess."

When Griffin brought up secrets, the brunette froze. She slowly choked out words, and he didn't believe them a tiny bit. She was obviously hiding something. "You're terrible at lying." he remarked, packing up his things as the bell rang. Glancing at her schedule, he dug his up from a folder.

"It seems we have Computer Science together as well. See you then." As he started walking out of the classroom, Jess caught up to him. Dangit, I'm a guide for this girl. Ah well, better get used to it. He nodded slightly and pushed out into the crowded hall, with the brunette hanging onto his backpack strap. He was sure they made an odd sight, and was relieved to drop her off outside of the classroom. With a little wave and a minute to make sure she got inside, Griffin heaved a sigh. Making sure nobody was around, he tapped into his power and set off to Creative Writing at an only slightly suspicious sprint.

Griffin walked towards Computer Science, chewing the last bites of a sandwich. He'd studied for most of his free time, and as he made his way across campus, he remembered that Jess, the human, would be in his class. He hoped she hadn't gotten lost- Mrs. Belfast would probably have his furry hide- quite literally. He spotted the brunette, and hurried to catch up with her. He swallowed the sandwich and caught up, now keeping pace beside the girl. "You found your way around okay?" He asked, making sure he wouldn't die by crazy teacher. Maybe because he was getting a little attached? No. Griffin hated humans. No way, no how, was he getting attached to this human girl who he'd just met.

{Jess Sterling}

Jess jumped when Griffin caught up to her, she smiled at him softly then her face went blank an she cocked her head to the side wondering why she couldn't hear the words coming out of his mouth. Then it hit her, she still had her headphones in. She quickly took them out and turned off her music player. She hadn't realized how loud it had actually been.
She always seemed to have music playing weather she was just humming a song or actually listening to one, she loved music. It always seemed to make thinks look and feel better then they really were. Whenever she wasn't feeling very good Jess listened to her music and it always helped her. "Heh, sorry what?" she asked sheepishly, when he repeated himself Jess nodded, "Yeah, I got lucky my classes were right next to each other." Jess smiled brightly as they continued to talk and walk, she hummed as they walked into class and took their seats.
She turned on the computer and grabbed a pair of glasses out of her bag and placed them on her face. Pushing her hair behind her ear she began to type at a furious speed. It was like she was in her own little world.
"so would you like to go get coffee after classes end?" glancing over the top of her glasses at Griffin and then back at the computer screen.
