Thread: The School Trip (ShiroKuma)

It wasnt all that surprising to see Ren brush off the prickly insults off and act as if nothing had happened. It wasnt uncommon for regular human beings to act that way towards Ren or any other fur, and while schools and other institutions attempted to stamp out such racial discrimination, racism would be forever present for as long as there were differences. The only thing holding Bernadette from laughing out aloud with her friends was the fact that she was technically in a relationship with the furred boy. Though by teenage standards it could be hardly considered a relationship considering they hadnt even kissed properly, never mind actual sex. Physical advances were made solely by Ren, and Bernadette made it clear from the get-go that she didnt want him kissing her on the lips until she felt more comfortable with him. As Ren shuffled off with their bags, a few more insults and jeers were hurled his way. And before Ren had fully moved out of earshot Bernadette had returned to chatting with her friends, pointing towards the sparkling sea and getting ready to head off. By the time Ren had returned the group had already moved to the beach, a few members of the group had already splashing eachother childishly as the waves washed over their thighs. Despite its pristine waters the beach was strangely uninhabited, besides Bernadette and her group of friends. Unsurprising considering how most of the students had obediently headed to their rooms to unpack before gathering in the common area within the resort for a briefing of how things would be run over the next few days. The whole event was more of a camping excursion than a formal prom, but most of the students didnt seem to mind as long as they got to mess around. When Ren returned, Bernadette was the only one to acknowledge him. Giving him a curt nod from beneath a parasol that had been set up before turning away. She showed no further attempts to communicate, completely blocking him out of her mind. Hence she flinched visibly when a hand was curled around her waist, a rather unhappy glare gazing into the Red pandas eyes before the hand was rudely peeled off her. Well if youve got nothing to do, you could always make yourself useful and buy us some drinks she stated, reaching into her purse and procuring a hundred dollar bill before pressing it into Rens palm. The guys in the group had stripped down to the trunks, but a few of the girls remained playfully sceptical intentionally dragging out the conversation from the shore as their partners tried to convince them to enter the waters. Before Ren could leave though, a familiar feminine voice suddenly called out his name. Brown eyes unhappily staring at the group as she struggled her way across the sandy beach. All of you get out of the water this instant! she gasped, Mira had never been the athletic type, and judging from the faint trace of sweat on her forehead shed run all the way from the resort. If youre going to cause trouble, we can send you all home right now Leaning on her knees as she tried to catch her breath, Mira defiantly stared at the group as she was showered with a string of booing and whiny complaints. Youre not allowed to be out here without supervision, no excuses she reinforced her message, shaking her head and demanding that they all return to the resort. Slowly, the group started making their way, giving Mira the finger as they hurried off, Bernadette was one of the first to leave. Not wanting to bother arguing with Mira who shed disliked from the moment theyd met. Ren would probably figure he was to return to the resort as well. But just as he was about to leave a soft small hand pinched his shirt subtly. Keeping him with her as the others moved off.
