As Wulf was walking up the steps of Elk Grove middle school, he took a bite out of a granola bar.
Suddenly breezing past him were Goo and Kiara.
"You're too fast!" Kiara exclaimed with a giggle.
"No, you're just too slow!" Goo cried.
Wulf smiled as he watched his students fool around.
"Morning, girls." He waved.
Goo and Kiara quickly looked up.
"Good morning, Mr. Wulf!" Goo greeted.
"Good morning!" Kiara laughed.
"Hurry up; we need to beat him!" Goo exclaimed, dragging Kiara along.
"Ha!" Kiara chuckled, making a face at Wulf.
Wulf's eyes widened.
He then smirked.
"Oh yeah?" He asked.
"Is that a challenge?" He grinned.
Clutching tightly to his bag, Wulf began to run up the steps, quickly surpassing the duo.
"Eh?!" Goo cried.
"He's fast...!" Kiara gasped.
"Not if we have anything to say about it!" Goo exclaimed, grabbing Kiara's hand as the two began to pick up speed.
Wulf quickly turned his head to ensure they weren't catching up as he continued running, bursting through the school doors.
As he was running down the hall, a hand suddenly grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.
"Mr. Wulf..." A chilling voice began.
"I can only assume that you've been inside a school setting before..."
Wulf gulped.
Crap...!
He then hesitantly turned his head around, met by the principal.
"M-mm..." He muttered.
"Now then,"
"Where did he go?!" Kiara cried.
"Crap, maybe he's already made it to the room!" Goo exclaimed.
Suddenly, two other arms grabbed the pair.
"Eh...?" Goo looked up, noticing the principal and Mr. Wulf.
"AH!" Goo shrieked.
"This is a warning," the principal slowly began.
"Next time, there will be consequences, young ones; do you understand me?" She glared.
"Y-yes, miss principal...!" The trio exclaimed as she swiftly dropped them to the floor.
After she left, Wulf stood up, helping the other two to their feet.
"More than two arms, eh...?" Wulf wondered aloud.
"Anyway," Wulf cleared his throat.
"Let's head to the room, shall we?" He said with a smirk.
"Why are you smirking..." Kiara asked, frowning.
"Oh, you know, maybe because I won..." He grinned.
"Hmph!" Goo cried, puffing her cheeks.

As they reached the end of the hallway, they noticed Sunny and Maci waiting at the door.
"Finally," Maci sighed.
"Ah, we were waiting for you!" Sunny waved.
Wulf's eye twitched.
"Girls, let me teach you a valuable lesson right here and now..." He began, placing a hand on Goo and Kiara's shoulders.
"In life, there are no winners; in fact, we're all losers in our own special ways." He said as he proceeded to unlock the door.
"That's just adult talk for not being able to admit that you lost!" Goo shrieked.
"Yeah!" Kiara echoed.
The other two girls looked at each other in confusion.
Wulf let out a hardy laugh.
"Perhaps maybe you're right..." He chuckled.
"Have a seat. The principal will be with you shortly." A woman said as a girl took a seat."I'll take it from here, thank you, Barbara." The principal said, walking into her office."Miss Yu," the principal began as the girl took a seat in front of her desk."You do know why I called you here today, yes?""I don't..." The girl whispered."Due to your academic negligence, I'm afraid I have no other choice but to send you to the failing class." The principal narrowed her eyes."As you may or may not be aware since, after all, you seemed unconscious during the entirety of the class, I was requested by your concerned parents to at least monitor you to determine your placement," she paused for a moment."But, as I said before, we have decided it would be best so as not to distract your classmates if we placed you in the class with all of the other low-grade students.""I know it is only the beginning of the academic year; however, s
As Wulf was writing on the board, the phone in his classroom rang."Teach, the phone," Nono called out."Ah, thanks, Nono!" Wulf said, quickly placing the chalk down and running towards the phone."Hello?" Wulf answered."Yes...you want me to send her down?" He questioned."Wait, really?" He continued."Okay, I'll send her then," he said, placing the phone back onto its mount."Sunny!" Wulf began."Do you mind heading towards the principal's office to run an errand for us, please?"The class suddenly shifted their attention to Sunny."Oh, sure!" Sunny said, quickly standing up."I'll be back!" She cried, closing the door behind her."Now, back to our fun little lesson!" Wulf grinned.*As she reached the principal's office, Sunny peaked her head in."Ms. Principal, an oddity is here," the secretary called out."Hmph!" Sunny puffed her cheeks."Perfect, send her in."
As Bebe was walking home from class, she heard someone running. She turned her head to see Nono."Hey, I told you to wait!" Nono cried."Well, I didn't hear you..." Bebe grumbled."It's so warm out for the fall, isn't it?" Nono grinned."What's with you? Why are you in such a good mood today?" Bebe questioned, raising an eyebrow."I don't know; I guess because it's just so peaceful here..." Nono smiled sheepishly."Anyway," she began."I wanted to talk to you about-""Whatever it is, I don't have time." Bebe huffed."Well, if you let me talk,""I don't want to hear it..." Bebe warned."Bebe-""Listen!" Bebe cried, startling Nono."We're almost in high school now, and it's time for a change..." She narrowed her eyes."I..." She looked down steadily."I don't want to be a loser anymore...!" She cried.Nono's eyes widened. She opened her mouth then quickly shut it."Do
By the time Nono finally arrived home, it was already dark out. Unlocking the door to her house, she was greeted by no one, an only child with her father still at work who wouldn't be home for at least another couple of hours. Climbing the stairs, she went to her bedroom. Sitting on her bed, she looked around the room. "Mama..." She whispered. "What do I do...?" She bit her lip. "My best friend suddenly hates me; I have no friends at school..." "Plus, I'm in the class of oddities, automatically deeming me a freak..." Her voice began to shake. "Mama..." Tears began to well up in her eyes. "Tell me, what am I still doing here...?" She gulped as the lump in her throat swelled. "Please, mama, I miss you every single day..." She sniffled. "I promised you I'd stay strong, but..." "Was I ever really even strong in the first place...?" She smiled as tears began to run down her face.
Just as class was about to begin, Wulf began taking attendance."No, Nono today...?" He questioned.Bebe clenched her fists."Alright then, let's get started-""Sorry that I'm late, teach!" Nono cried, hustling through the door."Ah, there you are." Wulf smiled.Bebe looked steadily down as Nono took a seat at her desk next to her.*As Wulf was teaching, the bell rang, signaling the start of lunch."Man, I really have to get used to this bell system..." Wulf muttered as the girls packed up their belongings."Hey, Nono?" Wulf called out just as she was about to walk out the door."Hm?" She turned her head."Do you mind staying back for a second?" He asked."Not at all..." Nono chuckled nervously.Taking a seat on top of his desk, Wulf clapped his hands together."Now," he began."I'm sure there's no deeper meaning behind you being late," he paused.Nono froze.<
"Making a wish?" A voice called out.Startled, Wulf jumped up."C-Caitlin...!""Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you...!" She cried."You didn't come to the cafeteria with your class, so I just wanted to make sure you were ok...""Me?" He chuckled."Oh, I'm fine!" He beamed.Caitlin blushed."R-right...!" She nodded her head."Anyway...!" She cleared her throat."I was just wondering; do you maybe want to chat at the café again after school?""O-oh yeah, totally!" Wulf smiled."Great!" Caitlin giggled."I'll come to fetch ya after dismissal then!" She beamed."Sounds like a plan." Wulf chuckled, waving as Caitlin closed the door.*As Caitlin was heading back towards the cafeteria, she hummed to herself."Oh my..."Caitlin quickly jumped, turning to see Ms. Rouge sitting on a nearby staircase."H-hey, Rouge...!" Caitlin chuckled nervously."
As they got to the café and sat down at a booth, Wulf stretched his arms."Man, I'm famished!" He cried."Well, I can imagine since you didn't eat lunch!" Caitlin exclaimed with a giggle."What should we get today...?" Wulf mumbled."Hey, Wulf...?"Wulf looked up from the menu."Hm?""I hope I'm not prying too much, especially since it's our second da-" She paused."Our second time here...!" She quickly corrected herself."But, I've been wondering..." She narrowed her eyes."What made you become a teacher in the first place...?"Wulf's eyes widened.He opened his mouth to answer when a cool breeze swept through the open window."Danny...?" He whispered."Sorry I didn't catch that-""Oh, no, nothing, I was just talking to myself is all...!" Wulf chuckled nervously."What made me become a teacher...?" He repeated the question."M-mm...!" Caitlin nodded.
Roaming the hallways after summer school finished was a boy. The boy had a delinquent-like appearance, with a jet black mohawk to boot.His head was steadily down, in his arms, a bunch of books."It's the summer, and here I am stuck in this lousy hellhole..." He grumbled."At least the librarian let me borrow these to take home..." His eyes twinkled."But geez, these are heavy..." He muttered to himself."I take it you like to read?" A voice called out.The boy, who had thought he was alone, quickly spun around.As he turned around, he was met by a slender, pale young man standing in the doorway of a classroom."D-don't go getting the wrong idea; the old bat asked me to carry these for her...!" He cried."Oh?" The man lifted a brow."What a nice young man you are to go and help out!" He exclaimed, clapping his hands together.The boy blushed."L-listen...!" He stammered."Oh, is that the first
