Hi Basil! (That's her code name btw)
Want to tell the readers what they will be reading?
Um well...we'll be making a book called Unique is Another Word for Different. Tell them what it's about, Angelic.
Okay! Well, guys, the book will be about high school students who all struggle with something. Could be...disabilities or...sexuality and so many more! All of the students are half animal and half human. This means they have normal skin color and don't have whiskers or fur, it just means they might have ears or wings, etc.
We hop you enjoy it!
Yeah! 
And guys...
HAPPY READING!

Noelle
Bonjour!
Er-how do you Americans say it? Hello? Is that correct?
*Does a google search*
Ah, it is. Well, hello! My name is Noelle. I am from France. I am a rare species of Wolf. I am called a Lavender Wolf. We are only found in France and are almost extinct. My full name is Noellian Mondou Rossi. (I’m mostly French, but my Father is from Italy)
I just have people call me Noelle.
Anyway, I moved from France to New York (Where I am now) 2 weeks ago. I will be attending Connahoan High School in the city. It’s a private school, so we have to wear uniforms. But Mondays and Fridays we get to wear anything!
My first day is tomorrow, so I’m a tad nervous.
I am considered the Lunar Beta. Our pack is called the Midnight Pack, so everybody’s rank starts with either Delta (The lower title), Warrior (The middle title) or Lunar, (The higher title right below the Alpha). I am the second Lunar. The first is another member named Arthur. He is supposed to be the Next Male Alpha.
And I-
Oh, SHOOT. I’m late for my meeting! I’m supposed to be meeting a Cat named Kit
Got to go! Bye!
Kit
Hello! My name is Kit. I am a cat. Yeah, I know Kit the cat. Not my actual last name. Anyway, I am a Birman breed. I am best friends with a golden named Cece. OH, also I am a tour guide. I am supposed to be touring for uh
*finds paper quick*

A french wolf named Noelle. Ok, so it is RIGHT NOW!!!?? Uh Ok, grab a backpack, put on shoes, and go go go! Ok, now I am running to uh ok the school Ok ok ok so go go go. Ok, she is standing outside.
She looks up at me, smiles, and waves.
This shall be an interesting meeting.
Fiona
So hi I´m Fiona. I am the eldest child of two. I am a red fox. I have a sister named Chanell but we do not speak anymore. Anyway, she is super mean. I can’t believe I ever liked her and-
Wait hold on. She’s coming this way!
“Hey! Fiona!” She says.
Excuse me while I handle this.
hi Chanelle
Hi! I assume you’ve spoken to the other one? By that I mean my very annoying sister, Fiona?
Dang, it's Chanelle! You're not supposed to say her name! I can’t-
Wait hold on. Fiona’s passing me.
Should I...solve my problems with her?
Yeah.
“Hey! Fiona!” This is the most I’ve said to her since 4th grade.
“Chanelle?”
“We...need to talk.” 
“That's the first.” She mumbled.
I stared at her. What is her problem?
“I guess people don’t ever change. Cause I know you haven’t.” I snapped back.
“You brat.”
“I need you to do me a favor. Get a mirror, look at it, and tell me what you see. Cause what you see is the brat here.”
“You little-”
“Stop!” Someone interrupts. We both turn around to see a Wolf that has a Lunar mark on her hand standing there with her arms crossed.  
Shoot.
She’s a Beta.
Kit
“Bonjour! Your Kit I presume?” She asks when I walk up to her.
“Uh hi! And yes you're Noelle?”
She nods and holds out her hand for me to shake it.
I shake it and then with the other hand. Yeah, it’s this thing I do and basically yeah it's Ocd, and wait- she has a mark on her hand.
“I’m a Lunar Beta. I’m part of The MIdnight Pack.” She explains when she sees me staring at it.
¨Ok. So isn't that like the next thing to alpha?¨ I ask.
“It is. My friend and I are going to be the next alpha’s. My father and mother are the current Alpha’s.” She explains. “We are originally from France, but I moved here with Arthur 2 weeks ago.”
¨Oh that's cool!”I responded.
She simply nods.
“Shall we go? I would love to see the school before classes start.” She says. 
¨Oh uh yeah let’s go¨ I say. We go through the front doors and everyone turns to look at us.
“Why is someone like her hanging out with that nerd?” Someone whispers.
“She must be new! Maybe Kit’s showing her around?”
“Puh-lease. She’s just desperate for friends!”
I blush.
“Ahem,” Noelle says, crossing her arms. Both students look at her and smile.
“Oh! Hi! Are you ne-”
Noella waves her hand and makes a dark purple swirling circle appear. She makes both students not able to talk.
“Come on, Kit. Let’s continue.” She says.
¨Uh what did you do to them¨ I ask.
“I put a temporary spell on them,” Noelle replies. She grabs my hand and pulls me away.
I think two things about this. One I am terrified of her now and two. She is pulling my right hand. ONLY MY RIGHT!!!!!!! What to do. So yeah what I was saying earlier. The OCD thing. I need to touch everything with both hands. Or at least do something with my other hand so my other hand feels something too. There's more my time needs to be perfectly organized. I'm still a little sour about being late today. I also try to keep this a secret. So how to go about this.
I pull my hand away and rest my other hand on a wall for 1,2,3,4,5,6 seconds. She stops.
“Are you okay?” She asks.
¨Yep! lets go¨ I say
Dang, it! she can not find out about this!!!!!
She gives me a weird look.
We continue the tour until we both hear arguing.
Chanelle and Fiona.
Noelle tells me to stop and goes ahead.
“Stop!” Noelle says. They both turn to look at her, and by their expressions, they know she’s a Lunar Beta. 
Noelle
People finding out what I am is always pretty hard. But as these two strangers stare at my mark, it no longer is hard. This time, I feel brave. Unique. Perfect.
“Do all Americans argue?” I exclaim to them.
They stare at me and I sigh.
“I moved from France not long ago. And all I have seen is arguing and people being jerks!” I say.
They made a silent Ohhhhh sound as what I said clicked.
“S-sorry. I’m Chanelle.” One of them said, She was on the shorter side and had tan skin and reddish hair. 
“I’m Fiona,” The other said. She was taller than Chanelle. She had lighter skin that was still slightly tan and had true Razor Red hair that was obviously dyed.
“Noelle,” I say simply. I’m about to say something when someone taps on my shoulder and I hear the most beautiful voice I know.
“Hi No”
It’s my best friend, and crush, Carter.
But he’s supposed to be in California.
Cece
Hi! My name is Cece and I am a golden retriever. I am best friends with a cat named kit. Anyway now I am just hanging out in my room. I dunno, I am bored. My Bff is giving someone a tour. She sends me a text.
Kit kat: uh I sorta subtly got kicked out by my uh assignment i guess
Oh yeah My nickname for her is kit kat 
CC: What happened
Kit kat: She met someone she knew-her boyfriend?- and they did not notice me there. I mentioned it and my assignment sorta asked me to leave in a passive-aggressive way.
CC: Ok well I am so bored now. My mom is at work and I am bored as heck.
Kit kat: want me 2 come over.
Finally something on this boring day.
We are sitting in my room eating peanut cookies and chatting. 
¨So how's your tour duties going” I ask
¨Uh today I don't know. She almost found out about the thing¨ she replies
Oh yeah, this thing about Kit is she has OCD and has to touch everything with both hands.
¨Oh uh did she though?¨ I asked.
¨I´ve been hiding it for 7 years. I'm not gonna leak it now.¨ She responds.
Awkward silence. 
I open my mouth to say something when someone knocks on the door.
¨Who is it?¨ Kit asks me.
“I dunno”
Whoever it knocks again.
¨I'm gonna go check, wanna come with me? I ask.
She nods.
We go over and open the door.
A Lunar Beta is standing there crying.
¨Oh Noelle uh hi?¨ Kit says to her.	
Ohhhh. It’s Kit’s assignment.
“C-can I c-come i-in?” Noelle asks as she continues to cry.
¨Y-yes I say¨ and open the door wider. I mean what else can I say. But it's not like I want to let a total stranger in my home. But I do anyway. 
¨how does she know you are here?”I whisper to the kit. 
“I have no idea” Kit whispers back.
Noelle stumbles inside and crashes to the ground.
¨Are you okay?¨ I ask. 
Noelle quickly stands up.
“S-sorry,” she says quickly. “I don’t mean to barge in but I had nowhere else to go.”
¨Oh it's fine¨ I say Kit looks like she's gonna say something but says nothing.
“Um, what happened?” I ask. 
“Y-you guys wouldn’t understand,” Noelle said, slightly harsh
Well, back to being a weird day.
Carter
Suppppp.
I am the one and only Carter!
I am a former pack member of Noelle’s pack.
I’m 18 and I’m Noelle’s best friend.
(Even If I want to be more than that...I don’t think she feels the same way though.)
Noelle doesn’t know this but...I moved because of her. For her. I had to get good grades and a good job so I can make sure I’m...good enough for her.
*Ahem*
Anyway, I came back yesterday, and now...well Noelle is staring at me with tears appearing in her eyes.
Let’s recap what I said:
“Hey, No.”
Yup. That’s all I said. 
Oh, and btw, that’s my nickname for her.
She quickly turned around and stared at me. Then the tears came.
“I thought you would be gone for good!” She exclaims as she throws her arms around me and hugs me.
“Well, I-” I stop when I notice two foxes behind her staring at us. I blink and when my eyes open again, they turn pure red. 
“Eep!” They both say and run back to whatever class they had come from.
“Well...I’m back now.”
Noelle opens her mouth to reply but someone clears their throat behind me. 
¨Excuse me just in case you didn't know I am right here. Would you like me to leave?¨ 
Noelle swears under her breath.
“Sorry Kit. Thanks for the tour!”
Noelle’s not obvious way to say Go away!
¨Oh yeah uh sorry bye.¨ She says and leaves. I laugh quietly as Noelle turns back to me.
“I missed you so m-” She starts but someone else clears their throat.
Noelle sighs and turns around and freezes.
“A-Arthur?” She stammers.
Ugh. This guy again. He is annoying as heck.
“Yes, Noelle. I came here because we have an Alpha Meeting. Y’know, the meeting about the marriage next month?”
Now it’s my turn to freeze. Marriage? Noelle’s 16! She wouldn’t possibly-
No. 
This must be an act of her stupid dad. He must’ve made Arthur the next male alpha after I stepped out of the picture. He knows about my feelings for Noelle. Arthur looks at me and smirks.
“Hello, again Carter. Have you heard that II and Noelle will be getting married next month?”
“Um...no…”
“I was going to tell him,” Noelle said defensively. 
Arthur continued to drone on and on about Alpha stuff when Noelle had had enough. She slapped him right across the face. 
“Just shut up already!” She yells. “You are so annoying!”
Arthur’s jaw dropped.
“How dare you slap the Alpha-” He started.
“The Alpha heir.” Noelle corrected. “And thanks to you, you won’t be the next male Alpha.”
‘Very well. But who will?” Arthur asked smugly.
Noelle smiled.
“Carter will.”
The end of my chapter….
SIKE!
What happened next was very unexpected. Arthur made some sort of fireball and shot it at Noelle. It sped at her as fast as a real bullet and hit her arm. The impact made her stumble back but she regained balance quickly.
She made her own fireball and shot it at Arthur, hitting him in the head. He fell backwards.
Someone screamed.
Arthur jumped up and tossed a sluggish black orb at her.
He didn’t miss.
Black veins started appearing on Noelle’s arm and everyone went silent.
Even Arthur.
“Noelle, I-”
Noelle looked at him with tears in her eyes.
“How. Dare. YOU! It’s against the law to use that spell! It’s forbidden!”
“It can’t be that bad!” Arthur argued.
“IT IS YOU, IDIOT! MY BROTHER WAS KILLED FROM IT!”
Arthur is killing Noelle…
Myra
H-Hello. U-um my name is M-Myra. I’m a Butterfly.
Yeah, I know th-that’s weird but I-I can change my wings and antennas to make them look cool.
B-but the problem is...is that I’m mute.
It makes being a butterfly hard.
I-I’m 16 years old and I-I don’t have many friends.
I recently heard that there is a mute cheetah in the school named Jenny! I’m going to go say hi to her. Bye!
Jenny
Jen Jen Jenny Jen Jen. That was what my father used to call me when I was little. He still does sometimes. *Sigh*. Well at least someone says it. Oh yeah, so I am 16 years old and have not said a word in my life. I was born mute for some reason. This diary* is my closest thing to a voice except only I read it.
*Sometimes it will be in the diary, sometimes not. Hen it changes there will be a line to symbol it*
I can walk, hear, see, smell everything except talk. Oh yeah, I am a cheetah. Anyways, I communicate either by sign language or another journal I have where I write as sort of a substitute voice I guess, to tell people what I think. I do not know anyone else like me. I had a friend- yes she could speak- but she moved away and I've been alone ever since.
----I am walking through the halls when a butterfly taps my shoulder. I turn around. She has beautiful big wings and matching antennas.
She waves and says Hi! In sign language.
Hi, I sign back.
Are you Jenny?
Yes. Who are you? I sign back.
Myra. I’m also mute. She replies.
Well I guess this is new.
Uh...you okay? She asks.
Yeah yeah, I’m fine I reply.
Do you...want to come up to the rooftop with me? I know two girls, Kit and Cece are up there. They’re really nice.
Ok whoa whoah whoah we just met I am NOT going on the rooftop with her like BFFs. So what I do is...
Thanks but no thanks I tell her hoping not to sound rude.
She looks at the ground.
O-oh. Okay.
“Awww….it’s the poor butterfly who has no friends.” Someone mocks as they pass us. “Enjoy life being lonely!”
I see a tear roll down Myra’s cheek.
Well now I feel bad. I want to stand up for Myra but I doubt they can understand me.
Actually, I will go with you I reply to Myra
She looks up at me.
Y-You will!? She exclaims in sign language.
Also yes stuttering in sign language is possible
I nod and say
Let's go then 
She leads me up to the rooftop where groups of friends are playing games. She brings me over to a pair talking.
“Oh. Hi Myra!” A golden retriever says.
Hi! Myra replies.
I wave to them.
I wish I could actually say something though
“Who’s she?” A cat asks not in a rude way though.
Do either of them know sign language? I ask Myra.
“I do!” The dog says.
“I know some.” The cat replies.
This is Jenny. Myra introduces.
I hold out my hand as a greeting to them both.
The dog shakes it back but the cat flinches back a little
We wanted to know if we can...join you guys? Myra asks.
The cat grins and says
¨Sure you guys can join!¨
Kit
Well uh, long story Noelle came over while I was at Cece’s which she knew I was there for some reason (creepy) and had a pity party. Anyway, now Cece came over and we are trying (possibly gonna fail) to make spaghetti.
¨Uh cece?¨ I say.
¨What?¨ she replies.
¨The spaghettis is uneven¨ I told her.
¨It's fine¨  She responds.
I almost explode.
¨FINE!? It is not fiiiine!! The makers had ONE job to do and they failed!¨ I yell.
¨Sheesh, Kit kat! Fine, calm down. How are you gonna fix it though?¨ She asks.
I grab a knife and line them up and cut them to make them all even.
¨There.¨ I say.
We make them and eat them and only some turned out crunchy. We joke as we eat trying to make our best Italian accents. Then after we have dessert and put on a movie. It is not late yet in fact, it is still 5:00 pm so we decide to go outside. 
¨Ok we can be outside for 50 minutes, come at 5:50 back inside, get your stuff and walk you home at 6:00. in time your mother wants you home.¨ I say to Cece.
¨ Do we have to be that organized?¨ She asks.
¨Yes.¨ I respond.
While we walk Cece tells me
¨Oh by the way I think I have a lead!¨
Oh yeah with Cece, well long story short. Her father left when she was little and her mother never speaks of him. She wants to try to find him cause all she knows is he's not dead and don't ask me how she knows that. The whole movie drama yada yada yada. Anyways, back to real life
¨What is it?”I inquired.
¨The internet exists.¨She says.
¨Imma need more on that¨ I tell her.
¨I´ll look up his last name cause I finally found my birth certificate! And guess what? That's not my mother’s last name so WOO HOO!¨ She yells.
We walk back, get her stuff, walk  her to her  on schedule. 
We start talking when someone bumps me on my right shoulder. I don’t hear anyone say sorry though. I don't know how to go about things. Without looking weird. I drop a coin I found in my pocket, lean on my leg knee and pick it up. THere. All good. I think to myself.
I look up at who bumped into me and saw a butterfly making some sort of hand signals.
“She says she’s sorry.” Cece interprets.
¨Ok but uh let's just go”I respond briskly.
“Wait, hold on.” Cece says. She smiles a minute later. 
“She knows that you have OCD and apologises for only bumping you once.” She says.
¨ WHAT THE HECK!! HOW DOES SHE KNOW??!! I ask Cece or anyone furiously. 
The girl flinches and tears appear in her eyes. 
“She says she’s terribly sorry. But she knows because she has the same problem and can tell when someone else does too.” Cece says, nudging me when the tears go down the girls’ face. 
¨Look I'm sorry I just freaked out¨ I apologize to the girl.
“She says no worries. Oh, and that her name is Myra.” Cece says. “I’m Cece. And this is my friend, Kit.”
¨ÖH also can you please not tell anyone this. I ask her.
Myra nodded and waved goodbye then walked away.
“Well um. That was interesting.” Cece says.
I nodded in agreement.
“Have you ever seen a butterfly here before?” Cece asks.
¨Nope!¨ I say and we continue.
Fiona
Hi. So yes I continue my mini war with Chanelle. That goody two shoes. OMG, she's so annoying. Anyways my point is I hate her. Anyways Im working on homework now. A.K.A torture.
