Summary: Greene reminisces his past, how he was judged for his appearance and what he thought of it.

 “Am I really that scary to look at?”

 

When I was born… Mum said even the fuckin’ doctors and nurses were shocked. Seein’ a lil’ blood-soaked ankle biter, with skin pulled over his skull and sunken orange orbs. Musta looked like I was straight out of some B horror flick.

 

“Of course not, you dork.”

 

The only ones who thought differently were Mum, Dad and… Amber, my big sis. By a few hours. Even back in kindergarten, none of the other kids wanted anythin’ to do with me except her. At least the caretakers tried, I’ll give 'em that much.

 

“The kids in my class say I look like a monster.”

 

I don’t blame 'em’. Even I thought of myself as a monster. As a genetic failure. Where Amber was perfect, I wasn’t. Where people looked at her with admiration, they looked at me with disgust. Mum and Dad thought otherwise. But that wasn’t enough to convince me.

 

“Really? I’ll beat up whoever said that.”

 

In middle school, she tried once. She clocked one of the kids in my class, a raptor who made fun of me, across the jaw. She knocked out a few teeth, though the fucker retaliated by slamming her into a locker. By the time I got there, her crest and wings were hurt badly. I wanted to make sure it was worse for him.

 

“I believe we can’t keep Greene on the school grounds after this incident.”

 

Even Mum and Dad were speechless, even though he had it coming. Some of his tail feathers were ripped out with a bleeding bite wound on his tail, his snout was misshapen, his eyes were bruised and one of his arms was bent at an angle by the time they got me off of him. Short story short, he was hospitalised and I was expelled.

 

“What's juvie?”

 

‘Volcaldera Bluffs Juvenile Detention Center’. Worst fuckin’ time of my life. Funny enough, I had more friends in juvie than I did in school. An odd trio of a particularly foul-mouthed trigga called Trace, a chill Baryonyx called Jack and a possibly autistic Spinosaurus called Elora, who were all a few years older than I was. To say the least, they taught me some… interesting things.

 

“Greene! We were so worried!”

 

House arrest. Better than being shoved in prison beta testing at least. As soon as I was in, Amber full body tackled me with a hug. Her crest and wings had bandages on them, but she looked well otherwise. Mum and Dad crushed me with hugs right after. Yeowch. My house arrest would apparently last a few months, but I can live with that.

 

“Hey Greene, didn’t think you’d come back for us!”

 

A while after my house arrest was over, I asked if I could visit my mates in juvie. Mum and Dad were sceptical, but they allowed it. Jack said they’d be in there for a year or two, but they’d visit me as soon as they’re out. Hopefully not at my house though, not after Elora almost bashed Jack’s head in for saying she looks like a hunchback.

 

“Class, we have a new student joining us.”

 

Eventually Mum found a school that would take me after all the shit that happened before. Even on my first day it was just the same as before. Nothing changed, matter of fact, it got worse, now that I had a juvie sentence behind me. Although, it doesn’t bother me as much now. Nobody wants to mess with me and I want it to stay that way.

 

So what if they think I’m a monster?

 

Maybe I am.

    Yo, that guy called GIO here.

    I know there's a delay on Highschool of The Feral Chapter 5.

    I just had to break off from writing for a bit, this is just something I made out of boredom and to break back into it, don't read too much into it.

    So yeah, Chapter 5 is coming soon after this one.

    Not much else to say, until next time.
