SORRY! I have no excuse except for executive dysfunction, which I have been working on. I hope you like this one.

Adesa's POV

After we dropped off Ruby and Duran Argus dropped me off knowing I needed to lose some steam. I was pissed at the way those cat girls were hanging off of Duran. It made me want to take it out on them. We couldn't protect him in the last school but this time we'll protect each other and make sure no one will mess with us.

I change into work out clothes and start to use the weights we have. I need to work out the extra aggression. I try to calm my thoughts and not get too pissed. I just wish I could know how the monster society worked. I decided to take a run on the treadmill. There isn't anything better than a good run to take your mind off something. The feeling of my foot hitting the track and the feeling of the burn of my muscles.

Even after the run my mind is racing, there must be something I can do to get back at those cats. I head online to see if I can find anything on them. I instead found the monster high website. There she could see different monster info listed. One was a pen pal type thing. A bit of digging showed it was used for the new transfers and bringing more in,but a name stuck out, Daniel Lewis. He was a human at the school I used to go to. He was one of the quieter ones. He spent a lot of time in the computer labs. There wasn't much on him. He hid all he could on social media and had a clean record in school. Well I might as well reach out and see if he could help. Daniel at least knew about what happened to Duran at the school.

With that knowledge under my belt I was able to unwind and relax for the first time today. I quickly do my skin care routine and head to bed already plotting for tomorrow.

time skip cause I am bad

The morning starts with way too much chipperness. The kind even normal morning people like her would find unbearable. This also happened to be done by one nefarious person she called Dad. Simon had just finished his newest line and was now waiting to show them off. This was common enough that I didn't have to worry about his mental health, but with just enough time in between that it was startling when it did hit. The main upside is that it meant he made breakfast. My mom may be a jack of all trades but She could never quite concur breakfast food.

"I got pancakes with fresh orange juice here," He called out, "Take some to your friends, it's always hard changing schools."

"Thanks Dad, this will be great. I'll let them know so they can come get some," I sent a text to the chat about the food.

Duran /Thanks we didn't want to burn down the house/

Ruby /I'm not that bad am I/

Duran /You are/

Argus /stop fiaght i get you/

Duran /You sure your awake for that/

Argus /Ccofeee/

Duran /You get here and I'll drive/

Adesa /just hurry you don't want to be late do you/

Leaving the chat and starting on some coffee for Argus and her and tea for the other two. "They're on the way,"

"Thank heavens I ended up making too much and was worried," her dad said.

"Well once Argus is awake you won't have to worry about any leftovers,"

"No complaints here," with that he walked away to go and get my mom up and going. She was never a morning person and when Simon was extra chiper it was worse.

"We're here and in one piece, no need to thank me," Duran called with all the flamboyance of Simons models.

"Coffee please~" Argus was leaning heavily on Ruby.

"It's on the pot so don't worry, I also got tea going,"

"Thank you," Argus stumbles to the kitchen.

"He could barely drive to my house, I'm scared for him today, promise to keep an eye on him please," Duran pleaded greatly with the puppy eyes.

"Don't worry I have something that can help calm him down and not just food,"

"Ooooh what is it," Ruby asked

"I think I found someone that can help get dirt on those to cats,"

"Please tell me it's not because of yesterday I don't want yall to make it a big deal,"

"They sent you into a dissociative episode. It's a big deal already, the school needs to know that they can't do that," Ruby said clearly still pissed.

"It's fine we got it fixed and I'm fine now," Duran looked down uncomfortable with the conversation.

Adesa and Ruby share a look and decide to head to the kitchen for some food. They find Argus basically making out with a plate of pancakes. The coffee pot is already half gone.

"Thanks for the food, it's amazing," Argus said finally back to functioning levels. Thank goodness Duran can drive but he doesn't have a licence.

"Whoo it's pancakes I'm not leaving till they're gone," Ruby says. A tower of pancakes is soon joined by some tea.

"Heck yeah nothing better than pancakes in the morning," Duran joined her with a smaller stack of pancakes. With the fruit filling the rest of the competition.

It seemed good to see them reacting to each other so normally but it did feel forced. There wasn't much that I could do though until Duran is away so he doesn't feel guilty. Thank heavens me and Ruby have the first hour together today. I could tell her about Daniel

Study hall was a great class cause the teacher had given up and let the students talk and go online. I pull up the sight and show Ruby Daniel's conversation.

"He could help get info on the cats," Adesa said "he at least knows more monsters than us and can get them to help us."

Ruby agreed and sent him a message too. "I mean I'm down to throw hands but I don't want to leave you guys again."

This said and done they got to work on some homework because they hadn't finished it the night before.
