>some human skank talking shit behind Fang's back
>she does so in a way so Fang can hear it
>the skank thinks Fang won't do anything, being new and outnumbered
>the skank proceeds to realize dinosaurs are really strong, even the women
>the skank realizes pulling Fang's hair while getting her ass beat was not a good idea
>now Fang is really mad
>so mad in fact she's gonna use her claws and damn the consequences
>the human chick got out lucky, with only moderate lacerations and a blue eye
>Fang doesn't get expelled because she threatens to sue the school for promoting species discrimination
>the human students start avoiding her, none of them wanting to be on the wrong side of her claws
>she does get detention though
>not many rock bottom students stick around to get caught when they do something deserving detention
>it's only her and another human
>the teacher in charge of detention is asleep
>the other human is reading some sort of comic book
>why does he have that while she had to give up her phone?
>might as well go ask
>the human doesn't notice her approaching or even when she's standing right beside him
>that's one weird as fuck comic book he's reading
>did he get detention for having bad taste?
>the human has started breathing heavily, beads of sweat forming on his forehead
>well, he's definitely noticed her and hasn't been rude yet
>better than most of the 'people' at this sorry excuse for a school
>"Hey, you OK?"
>Fang can't make out what the human said through the stammering
>"Anyway..., how come you can have a comic while I have to give up my phone."
>silence
>god, is he a mute?
>Fang is about to give up and return to her seat when the human speaks up
>"I'm not here because I got detention."
>Fang looks at the human as if he just grew a second, equally featureless, head
>"Then why the hell are you here?"
>the human stares at her for a while
>has he never seen a dino before?
>"I just don't like going home before I have to."
>it feels like time froze, allowing Fang to consider her response
>this seems like a private issue and she doubts the human would even be willing to talk about it if she asked
>on the other hand, what's the worst that can happen?
>he says no?
>"You want to talk about it?"
>the human looks at her for a moment before turning away
>"You don't have to pretend to care, you know."
>well, she tried at least
>more than can be said others did for her
>the human speaks up as she's about to return to her seat
>"Why are you here though?"
>"Beat up some bitch who thought she was hot shit."
>"I didn't mean detention. Why did you transfer to this school?"
>Fang looks at the floor and exhales
>"Now who's pretending to care?"
>an awkward silence fills the air
>the human is the first to break it
>"I'm Anon by the way."
>"Fang."
>the next day
>Fang is dropped off at Rock Bottom by Naser
>the drive was silent, like always
>no goodbyes were exchanged, like always
>she makes her way to her first class of the day
>most students give her a wide berth
>as Fang is about to walk into the classroom, she overhears a human girl talking to another
>"can you believe the dumb bitch actually stuck around for detention?"
>the girl turns her head and sees Fang is staring at her
>color drains from the humans face before she bolts
>'if you can't be loved, then at least be feared'
>Fang chuckles to herself as she enters the classroom moments before the bell rings
>the other students are already in their seats, hers waiting for her at the front of the classroom
>the teacher looks at her impatiently as Fang, for the first time, takes a good look at her other classmates
>she can't believe it, in the back of the classroom is Anon
>he's even sitting alone
>it's a miracle
>she needed someone to mooch off of in science class now that Reed can't just give her a cheat sheet for the tests
>when the human notices her, she can't help but be puzzled by his expression
>she wasn't expecting him to jump for joy
>but neither was such blatant suspicion
>she reaches for the chair
>"This seat taken?"
>a couple of snickers immediately follow
>Fang ignores them and waits for Anon to respond
>"Wait, are you serious?"
>"Shit, if you don't want me sitting next to you, just say so."
>"It's not that. I just..."
>the teacher has had enough
>"Miss Aaran, can you please take your seat already?"
>Fang sits down
>Anon can protest later if he wants to
>why is he sweating so much?
>it's not even that warm
>the teacher hands out a worksheet and goes back to reading some book
>is every teacher here like this?
>none of them give a fuck
>like an entire school of Mr. Jingo's
>Fang doesn't understand any of this shit
>relying so much on Reed and his anonymous source has come to bite her in the ass
>Anon seems to be having no problems though
>she starts copying his answers
>it's rude not to ask beforehand, but she can always ask for forgiveness in lieu of permission
>Anon turned the page before she managed to copy everything
>the next page's questions all reference the previous one
>god damn it
>might as well get it over with
>"Hey, think you can go back to the previous page?"
>Anon looks up from his sheet
>"Why?"
>"So I can copy it. I'm not good at this stuff."
>"If you're just gonna copy my work, you'll never be good at it."
>Fang sighs
>"I don't need you to lecture me. If it bothers you that I'm copying your stuff, just say so."
>so much for asking for forgiveness
>for a moment, Fang considers going back to her old seat
>but this human is the only one that talks to her these days
>"What if I explained it to you?"
>Fang nods her head towards the teacher
>"Isn't that their job?"
>"As if."
>Anon begins explaining the material, often several times for her to understand
>Fang could have sworn she saw a hint of a smile on Anon's face as he was explaining what a proton is
