Taeil walked the halls and couldn't help but feel irritated by the murmuring and giggling around him. He passed by a group and overheard them talking about the female student from the other day.

"You remember that writer, Joohee, right?" said one girl with floppy dog ears.

"Yeah. I heard she left the school the next day after she met with Piuma." another girl said in surprise.

"Shame. She was a decent person. But, she isn't the first and certainly won't be the last." a guy with scaly purple skin said.

They walked away and soon the halls became quiet. Footsteps were heard behind Taeil, so he turned around to find the source. Five guys walked down the hall, two of them joined by the arm. He didn't recognize the guy in the middle, but he knew the other four. The one in the middle seemed human like him. Taeil then made eye contact with Yuta who wasted no time in walking over to him.

"Yo, Jae. This is the idiot I was talking about." Yuta said while poking Taeil's chest.

The guy he now knew as Jaehyun sauntered over then looked him over.

"Moon Taeil?" he asked nicely.

"Who wants to know?" responded Taeil without hesitation.

"Me, silly." said Jaehyun in a sweet voice.

Taeil felt his cheeks burn in embarrassment. He didn't think that he'd end up talking to someone completely made of sugar. He managed to squeak out his reply then waited to see what happened next. He watched Jaehyun reach into his back pocket then slap something onto his chest.

"I dare you to cross Piuma one more time. Be a good student and stay average." spat Jaehyun before shoving Taeil to the side and walking off while cackling.

The other four followed behind Jaehyun. Taeil looked at Kanghyun, hoping he'd at least glance at him. He didn't. He then remembered he had first period with Jungwoo and hoped to sort things out with him. Just as he rounded the corner, he bumped into someone. He quickly apologized and took off, only to be held back.

"Moon Taeil?" a voice said from behind him.

Taeil quietly cursed the heavens as everyone in school probably knew his name.

"What do you-" he started as he turned around but stopped.

Standing before him was a guy barely visible to the naked eye. An attractive one at that. He wasn't into guys himself, but whole heartedly supported the ones who were.

"I'm Johnny Seo. I'm not supposed to be talking to you unless I want to jeopardize my own standing. I'm just giving you some words of advice: Don't ever, provoke Ten. He won't rest until you can't even stand to be alive." said Johnny with serious eyes.

Taeil quietly nodded then watched him take off. Things at this school only got crazier and more confusing to him.

Taeil spotted Jungwoo in the classroom and walked over to him. Jungwoo looked at him then away. That sole action hurt Taeil.

"I thought we were...best friends..." said Taeil quietly.

"Yeah, were. I don't want to end up like you, so I'm not going to hang around you. Sorry." said Jungwoo as he pulled out his books.

Taeil kicked Jungwoo's book bag aside and glared at him angrily. He couldn't believe how easily Jungwoo turned on him. He started to regret saving him way back when.

"I thought we'd always stick by each other. Are you really that afraid of them? They're just a bunch of insecure assholes!" Taeil seethed. He couldn't believe Jungwoo was being a wimp.

"I want to make friends this time, Tae! You don't know how hard it was back at our old school. No one wanted to be friends with a wolf!" barked Jungwoo, literally.

"Then what was I to you this entire time!?" Taeil screamed at Jungwoo.

Everyone in the room was now staring at them. Taeil didn't care, he only needed to know if Jungwoo was really against him. Jungwoo's ears momentarily drooped before perking back up.

"Let's just end it..." said Jungwoo at last.

Taeil shut his eyes then opened them as he exhaled.

"I should've let you die." said Taeil woundedly before taking his seat diagonal from Jungwoo.

Taeil sat down at a table during lunch alone, fuming. Nothing was going right for him. He was completely alone in this school. And Piuma or whatever it was called was to blame. He had enough of their childishness. He eyed Yuta, Harin and Kanghyun as they happily ate lunch. He left his seat and marched over to their table.

"You guys think you're all that and then some? You make me laugh. You're just a group of insecure jackasses that like to pick on people to fuel your own disgusting egos. I'm going to destroy your group. I swear on my life." said Taeil with a firm resolve.

The entire cafeteria was looking at Taeil who had just sworn his life away. The three members of Piuma quietly looked at him and Yuta and Harin burst into laughter. They quieted down and Yuta was the one to speak up.

"Oh, so you weren't joking?" Yuta said with a surprised face. "Harin, did you believe he was serious?"

Harin shook his head then looked Taeil up and down.

"Taeil, you're the stupidest guy we've ever met." said Harin with a cheshire like smile.

Taeil looked at Kanghyun who looked like he had something to say.

"I don't necessarily care what you do since the rest of them will most definitely take care of you, but..." said Kanghyun before shifting his indifferent attitude into one full of hatred. "If you so hurt a scale on Ten, I'll pay it back ten times."

Taeil wasn't going to lie about not being scared. He was, but he wasn't going to let it stop him from what he planned to do.

"Do your worst." said Taeil in a threatening tone before walking away.

He didn't know what he planned to do, but he knew he had to act fast and show he wasn't all talk.

"Hey, Taeil." Harin shouted from behind him.

"What?" answered Taeil, annoyed.

"Better think two steps ahead. Jaehyun is ruthless." said Harin then gestured for him to keep walking.

Taeil walked out of his last class then heard footsteps approach him.

"Taeil." said a voice in a sing songy tone.

He turned and saw Ten looking at him with sly eyes with his hand on his hip. Kanghyun's words came back to his mind. His best option was to simply leave him alone. It was bad enough he had three people against him. Taeil then thought of possibly getting Ten to like him, even if only slightly.

"Hello, Ten. Did you have a good day?" asked Taeil in the nicest voice he could manage.

"Playing kiss up are we? Smart, I'll give you that." said Ten as his jewelry bounced when he walked closer to Taeil.

"I'm assuming you have business with me." said Taeil quietly.

"Not exactly. Just wanted to see who Yuta was bitching about this time. You're pretty adorable. Hope you enjoy your last few days here." said Ten before he walked away.

Taeil exhaled as he seemed to have avoided invoking any negative emotion from Ten. He managed to dodge Kanghyun's wrath. For now.
