~Alex POV~

I scanned myself in the mirror one more time. My white, wolf ears sat on top of my head, folded down like they usually were. My tail hung limply to the side, twitching every few seconds.

I sighed and put my beanie on, making sure that it was tight on my head. Couldnt let anyone find out about them right? I tucked my tail into my oversized sweatshirt. My roommate was pretty blind so he hadnt noticed anything, thankfully. There had been too many time when he was close to seeing me without my beanie.

I shuddered at what could have happened if he found out. My roommate, Thomas frickin Jefferson, just had to be a hybrid-phobe. Unfortunately for me, I was a hybrid. I was a mix between wolf and human but there were many other hybrid types too. Cats, deer, birds.

My mother was a hybrid too. She had always told me to hide my un-human features. She said that by hiding it, I would be able to get far in life with my brains. She was right...I guess... because here I was, in the most prestigious college in all of America, King's college.

Most hybrids hide their features while others flaunt them with pride. I'm jealous of those people. I was always taught to stay in the shadows, away from all the attention. But they get to enjoy the light and bask in their own selves.

At a price...because everything good comes with a price.

Most hybrids were seen as dumb, feral, and unnatural. People who were hybrids had taunts thrown at them all day. It was disgusting.

(im slowly becoming triggered)

Since hybrids were supposedly dumb, most didnt make it past high school. Or of they did, they weren't accepted into a college. But I was lucky. No one knew that I was a hybrid. Not even my closest friends, Mulligan, Lafayette, or Laurens. No one.

It wasnt like i didnt want to be a hybrid. I loved my tail and ears. It was just that if people knew, then the life that i had built for myself would come crashing down.

I shook (shooketh) my head as I cleared my thoughts. I grabbed my stuff and went over to the door. My first class was soon and I didnt want to miss it. Sadly, I had to have debate, my first and favorite class, with Jefferson. Dont get me wrong, he was hella hot, (ok i feel kinda uncomfortable now) but he hated hybrids.

For some reason, a lot of our debates focused on hybrids. Jefferson had some stupid opinions.

~Time skip cause im rlly lazyyy~

I stood up at the front of the room with Jefferson a few feet away. He had his hands on his hips and a smug grin that I wanted to smack of his face.

"Alright, the issue on the table," our teacher, Mr. Washington, said. "Hybrid rights. Tread lightly."

Hybrid rights? I already knew what stance Jefferson would be. Anti-hybrid. As always.

"Hybrids are a discrace to humans. They are not people and should not be treated as one. They are disgusting (im getting so triggered by this rn. i dont like writing this part.) and are abominations..." Thomas began. If i could tear him apart with my claws, I would. But instead, I kept my hands clenched and my arms folded across my chest. How could he be saying all those things?

Finally, Jefferson finished with his verbal diarrhea which meant that I could start. I felt a smirk stretch across my face.

~time skip cause im lazy af~

After tearing Jefferson's arguement apart, I crossed my arms across my chest again and waited for his reaction.

He clenched his teeth and shot daggers at me with his eyes. His hands were gripping the sides of the podium in front of him. I knew that he hated losing. I did too.

Proudly, I walked back to my seat.

"Ha! You should've seen the look on Jefferson's face!" John laughed next to me. Herc and Laf nodded in agreement, smirks plastered on their faces.

At the end of class, Jefferson walked up to me, a scowl on his face.

"What the hell? How can you keep supporting those nasty hydrids!?" he scoffed at me.

"What are you talking about?! Hybrids are people too and they deserve rights as much as anyone else does!" I shot back but before I could hear Thomas' rebuttal, I was pulled away by Herc.

I scowled and shoved my hands into my pockets as me, John, Laf, and Herc walked down the halls together. I was ranting to them about how stupid Jefferson was when a person on the other side of the hallway shut me up. My mouth clasped shut and I looked straight forward as the principal of out college (do colleges have principals?) walked pass us. He didnt glance at us once but he still sent shivers down my spine whenever I saw him. He terrified me. He was a hybrid-phobe. He was almost as bad as Jefferson.

Our principal, was King George III, hence the name of our college. He was extremely biased and specifically rejected hybrids.

Whenever I was near him, it felt like he could see right through me. Right through my beanie and my clothes (ew ur nasty) and see the true me, the one I had been tryig to cover up.

I knew that if he found out, he would immediately kick me from the college without any hesitation.

I held my breath until he passed.

"Mon amie, you need to get over your fear of our principal. He is not going to kick you out or anything. You are not a hybrid!" Laf said enthusiastically, trying to rid my nervous energy.

I sighed and nodded along, listening to the familiar speech that I received every week from the tall french baguette.
