*Loctaion: San Antonio, Texas*

*POV: Jack*

The bell had rung and every one in the classroom had jumped out of their seats and bolted through the door, ignoring the teacher saying good luck in the real world. By the time everyone had left, excluding me and the teacher, I had barely put away my binder and journal into my backpack. The teacher had looked in my direction and spoke.

“So which college do you plan to apply at?” This was an easy answer.

“Texas A&M University sir.” Years of playing in football kept me disciplined and gained a habit of calling teachers ma’am or sir.

“No need to call me sir, you are about to graduate, we can have a normal conversation as friends and not as a teacher-student relationship. So just call me Bastion.” I was about to graduate tomorrow. A single tear slid down my cheek.

“Time really does fly by, doesn’t it?” I said. So far in my life, highschool has been the best years of my life. All the memories and friends I have made throughout these four short years. Memories ranging from bad to total happiness swirled in my mind. I had begun to revisit memories good and bad. I noticed the my teacher was tapping my shoulder, taking me out of my memories.

“Jack you just dozed off for a minutes, is Jake rubbing on you the wrong way?” He said jokingly. I chuckled at my soon to be ex-teacher’s statement. My longtime childhood friend, Jake. Let’s say he . . . Isn’t the . . . Brightest of people but is a good person overall. Despite doing actions that are questionable, Jake has helped me in times were I needed him the most and vice versa.

“No Bastion, well not that I know of.” I replied in the same joking tone Bastion used earlier. We both chuckled at our conversation. He soon walked towards me and put his left hand on my right shoulder and looked at me with a knowing smile.

“I hope only the best wishes for you in the upcoming future Jack.”

“Thank you sir-I mean Bastion, out of all the short years I’ve been here, your probably my favorite teacher. You were always so understanding and caring for your students, unlike a lot of other teachers who wouldn’t give a rat’s ass about us and our grades, you do. I won’t forget you.” I spoke with absolute truth, a lot of other teachers didn’t give off the same positive attitude that Bastion had circulating in his veins.

“I’m an optimist at best, no need to thank me, It was YOU who put the work into your classes, I merely guided you.” Damn he is really getting to me.

“I’ll be on my way, It was a fun ride we had.” I said.

“I was honored to be your teacher.” With that said and done, I begun to put on my backpack and walked out the classroom. The hallways were emptied due to me talking to my teacher for several minutes. The hallway looked stretched and would take me at most two to three minutes to get out to fresh air. Luckily I was on the bottom floor of the building. Our school had multiple buildings that had different subjects each with two buildings having two floors. I was in Language Arts Building which had English, World Geography and our Electives. I started a brisk steady walk, taking out my IPhone X and AirPods. Yes I’m a spoiled brat, so what? Getting good grades and becoming valedictorian has benifits ya know. I turned on my AirPods, with them connecting to my phone via Bluetooth, and started playing Delirious (Boneless) ft. Kid Ink - Steve Aoki, Chris Lake, Tujamo. Such a good song being underrated, man that sucks and Steve Aoki is such a talented artist.

I had my eyes closed and my body relaxed, even with my eyes closed, I could still navigate my way through the school. Having a tight schedule, maneuvering around crowds of kids through a tight hallway, and being in multiple sports has its benifits. Calculating my walking time and speed I’m about ten feet away from the door. I open my eyes and I’m right. I keep the brisk pace and reach for the door handles. As I open the doors, Jake jumps out of nowhere and moans as loud as he could muster.

”UUUNNNGGGGHHHH. OOOOOOHHHHH. AHHHHHH. EEEE-YUGNK.” All the other kids within 5 mile radius and teachers could hear his moans. I rolled my eyes and and facepalmed. Despite being basically an adult, Jake still does this shit.

“Tell me Jake, how have you not been kicked out of this school? You’re basically an adult and you moan like a damn pornstar. Do your parents know of this?”

The once moaning mess was now as quiet as a lion ambushing it’s prey. He pondered on for one minute before replying.

“Um . . . I don’t know how I haven’t been kicked out despite being chased by security like a million times and yes my parents know about this behavior.” Like I said Jake isn’t the brightest of people, it surprises me that he is quite smart and is in the top ten students, with me being number one.

“Sooooo . . . Ya like jazz?”

“No.”

With that, we walked towards the pick up area. As me and Jake walk towards us, a girl walks in front of us. I’ve never seen this girl but DAMN she is smoking hot! She seems short, reaches at my chest, long blonde hair, big breast and a nice ass.

“Are you guys both Jack and Jake?” She questioned.

“Yes we are, I’m Jack and he’s Jake,” I said then pointed at Jake and brought my hand down “How may we help you?” She smiled and took out a note pad. I paused the song I was listening to and took off my AirPods

“I just have a few questions for you and Jake.” She said with her smile getting bigger and looking down at her notepad with a pencil.

“Excuse me, may I know what is your name?” I said.

She looked up from her notepad and her smile disappeared.

“I’ll tell you my name after I get answers from you.” Um . . . Ok? Damn. She is a real bitch. Her smile returned and she started with her first question.

“If you could have an opportunity to go somewhere exciting and have fun would you go?”

Me and Jake nodded.

“If you could be any mythical creature, what would it be?”

This is the easiest question ever. I’ve done my research of mythical creatures and I’ve seen plenty of them online but I would want to be a Dragon.

“Without a doubt, a dragon.” Me and Jake said in unison. My mind broke. Jake . . . Was no-nor-norm-normal. How? Pushing aside, the girl put started writing on her notepad. When she was done the notepad just . . . disappeared. What the fuck. How? She started giggling and took a step forward.

Instead of being outside me and Jake were in a dark void with the same girl. She was still giggling and booped our noses. Pain sky rocketed through out my body. The pain was so much that I didn’t have the strength to scream, instead i fell on my stomach and started to tremble. An excruciating pain shot through my bones and skin. My bones were cracking and shifting along with skin being ripped and got replaced by something else. I felt something explode on my back and something wet getting on my back. The places that felt more painful than the rest were my face, shoulder blades, fingers, toes, cock and ass. After what felt like an eternity, the pain stopped.

My body was badly sore. My ears were ringing and I was slowly going unconscious. I weakly pick up my head and look to my sides, only to see the same girl boop a shocked Jake. His body fell and started to tremble. His body was . . . changing. His body was getting bigger while he twisted and turned in all the wrong directions. While that was happening his limbs started to get bulkier and longer, his skin color seemed to change to a near dark red. His finger tips were morphed into sharp claws. Soon his clothes could no longer bear his size and ripped. His body soon stop after that. He looked like a red demon. However his body still trembled. Soon his structure changed. His bones snapped and cracked as he was abruptly forced into a bipedal stance by an unkown force. At his shoulder blade areas, something was trying to get out. Soon the same area exploded, exposing small wings covered in a mixture of blood and a green slime. The wings just twitched but out of nowhere, they started to rapidly grow. The wings themselves were black with a grey membrane skin. His wings stop growing but look like they were at least twice Jakes original height.

Soon a tail erupted from behind him and his face elongated slowly. I could hear the sickening crunch each time his face got longer. Soon his face looked much as a dragons with a muzzle that resembled a dog’s muzzle. His eyes soon changed color, changing from green to yellow. Now he looked like an anthropomorphic dragon in a bipedal position. But that changed as his legs, arms, and torso twisted and turned with loud snaps and crunches. Now he looked like a true dragon with small hands. Little did I know his changes weren’t over. While his body stopped trembling, his hands and feet were still trembled. His palms were increasing in size along with his pinkie and ring finger joining to form a longer, thicker claw, the same happened to his middle and index finger while his thumb started growing. His thumb looked the same as his other two fingers, and somehow his ex-thumb was no longer in its original place and was next to his other fingers. His hands now looked like claws. This happened to all his fingers and toes. His appendages started to grow and stop growing once they were in proportion to his body.

I just weakly blinked at the horrific transformation.

Did that happen to me? I had thought to myself. I weakly look to my hands, at least hoping they still are. Instead I saw black claws. Well shit. I changed my gaze towards Jake. He was looking at me with closing eyes and was about to say something but unconsciousness took him away. Soon I followed in his footsteps.
