Closeted Love - Rendoc

Chapter 1

{Ren's POV}

Today was the first time in my life that I switched schools. My mom still wouldn't tell me why but I had a feeling it was because my school held a pride parade during pride month. After that she didn't bring me to school and arranged for me to go to this new school. I felt nervous to say the least, I would be meeting so many new people and wouldn't know who to avoid. I was wearing an outfit I casually wore. A red long sleeve with the sleeves rolled up to my elbows, a pair of blue skinny jeans with black suspenders, my red and white ankle high Converse, a pair of black sunglasses, and I had my below shoulder length hair tied in a low ponytail.

I walked inside the new school with my tail tucked between my legs, I was a nervous mess. The first thing I noticed when I stepped in was a gorgeous creeper hybrid. He had light green skin with some patches of darker green here and there, green freckles sprinkled all across his cheeks and nose, beautiful somewhat curly black hair with bangs that landed just over his eyes, and captivating deep black eyes. He was leaning on a wall, hanging out with his friends with something that seemed like a lollipop stick in his mouth. He was staring at me intently from across the hallway and I couldn't help but stare right back. It was a curious and intense stare on both ends, but I left before either of us could approach the other. I had to go to the principal's office so I could get my schedule and map of the school. I was reading the signs as I went along, hoping to find the office soon enough when I felt an arm on my shoulder. I was going to turn around when I noticed that it was the gorgeous boy from earlier and he was right beside me.

"I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that you're looking for the principal's office?" He questioned me with his deep voice. It sent shivers down my spine, he was incredibly attractive. "You would be right." I admitted nervously. He chuckled, "Then you're going the wrong way, they haven't changed the signs yet." He spun the both of us around and guided me through a maze of hallways while telling me a little bit about the school and the people in it until we reached my destination. He opened the door for me and I thanked him, but the principal seemed tense at the sight of the black haired boy.

"Oh hello! You must be.... Scar?" He questioned with an unsure expression. "Actually, I'm Ren." I corrected him nervously. "Ah! My bad, they don't give much of a description on here. I'm Xisuma and I'll be your principal for the year." Mr X, a purple haired boy with void-like skin and lavender eyes, stood up and extended his hand for me to shake. I did just that and he told me, "I think you'll come to find we have a few other new students this year, and, I recommend staying away from Doc. He can be quite the troublemaker." I looked up at Mr X in slight confusion, "Who's that?" He gave a slight chuckle, "You'll see. Anyways, here's your schedule and school map!" The lavender eyed man pulled some papers out of his desk and gave them to me. I grabbed them and with that I walked out of his office. The creeper hybrid who brought me to the office was leaning on the wall right in front of the door, waiting for me.

He pushed himself off the wall, "Hello again, new kid." He began walking alongside me while I tried to figure out where all my classes were. "How did you even know I was new? I could've just been someone you've never noticed before." He looked at me with a mischievous smirk, "Impossible, I would've noticed a pretty face like yours the second you walked in, and if that wasn't enough, you were way too nervous to not be new here." I blushed and smiled at the stranger's compliments. My tail slowly lifted back up to its neutral position. "Well, I'm Ren!" I stated cheerfully. "Nice to meet you, Ren, I'm Doc." I made a quiet 'oh' sound when realization hit. "I assume Mr X told you to stay away from me?" The black eyed boy, Doc, sounded defeated. "He did, but I don't see why I should listen to him." A wide grin made its way onto his face. "Little troublemaker huh?" I shook my head, "Not usually, I guess you're a bad influence." I teased with a smile as big as his. "Ouch!" He said sarcastically, making a small frown. We both burst out laughing and he said, "Don't worry, I know I'm a bad influence." The freckled boy gave me a wink. He then took my schedule from my hands and inspected it. "Hm, your first class is math with Mrs False?" I nodded, "That's where I'm trying to go." I admitted shyly, the map was incredibly confusing and I was pretty sure I was going the wrong way. "Well, it seems as if we have the same class for first period." I looked at him joyfully, "Really?" I spoke louder than I intended. He chuckled, "Yeah, c'mon I'll show you a shortcut." My tail wagged dramatically as I followed him once more.

"This is it." Doc said, knocking on the door of the classroom. My eyes widened, "Why did you knock!?" I whisper yelled, to which he laughed. The door opened and my tail tucked itself back in between my legs. "Hello Doc! What a nice surprise, who's your friend?" He smiled, "This is Ren, he's one of the new kids and I'm showing him around." The teacher, a blonde tiger hybrid, seemed shocked. "Wow, that's a first. You're usually quite hostile towards new kids, someone's got a crush?" She whispered the last part, making sure I could hear it too. Both mine and Doc's cheeks turned bright red. My tail wagged between my legs a little bit. "Well, Ren, it's very nice to meet you and I look forward to having you in my class." She extended her arm to shake my hand. I shyly shook her hand and replied, "Thank you, me too."

Doc and I walked away and I looked at him curiously. "You're 'hostile' towards new kids?" I looked at him with a questioning look. "Well, new kids make good targets." He seemed slightly awkward. "So, am I your target?" His expression immediately changed from awkward to playful. "Not that kind of target." I blushed a little. "Do we have time to go to my next class?" I asked, checking my phone for the time. The German boy answered after he checked the time for himself, "We probably don't have enough time to get there and back, the warning bell is in about 3 minutes." I frowned, I wasn't looking forward to it. Especially not when I'm the new kid and will most likely have to introduce myself in front of the whole class. I took my hair out of its ponytail so it would cover some of my face. "Why are you hiding your face?" Doc questioned curiously. "I don't really like the way my face looks." I replied quietly and looked down at the floor beside me. "Nonsense." He mumbled right before the bell rang and we headed into the classroom.
