Mochi Ai is the sweetest, cutest, most kawaii person you could ever know. Returning to her stepmom and dad back in USA from the Harajuku district of Japan, she meets the alpha of her new school, a wolf-and-dragon hybrid named Drake. Poetic, huh? As the two get to know each other, however, Drake realizes Mochi has some nasty skeletons in the closet. What is she? Who is she?
The crowd of students gasped as Mochi walked through the halls. Many pointed at her demon qualities and murmured to their friends, while a few others snuck pictures. Finally, Mochi reached her locker, where Anais and Thea were waiting. "Hewwo, guys!" Mochi exclaimed, waving at her friends. Thea hugged her and smiled. "So, what's it like, being a demon at school?" she asked. Mochi chuckled uncomfortably. "Lots of gawkers and unwanted pictures. I have so much more sympathy for those super famous popstars who never have an ounce of privacy," she explained. Anais laughed. "Amen, sister!" she joked. Mochi opened her locker and put her backpack inside, just as two guys approached her. "Hey, uhh... your name is Mochi, right?" one asked. "Do you mind if... and it's alright to say no, but... can we take a selfie with you?" the other asked Mochi. Mochi turned around and nodded, striking a cute pose for the picture. After the boys thanked her and left, Thea sighed. "Wow, you haven't even been here for a whole year and you're already famous. 'Ooooh!!! Someone call the news reporters, Mochi Ai has just been seen eating a bento at her school," she mocked, imitating a rowdy gossiper looking for 'tea to spill' to a news station. The girls filled the hallway with happy laughter. "By the way, where's Drake?" "Oh, I think he was heading to the bathroom... said he'll be here soon, though!" Anais recalled. Suddenly, she and Thea froze, frightened faces cracking over their happy demeanor. Mochi was confused, and turned around... "So it's true."
"Oh... hey, Gavin," Mochi frowned, avoiding eye contact with her bully. The black-haired bear folded his arms. "Oh, the demon's afraid of the bear? Or another furball's caught your tongue?" Gavin snarled. Mochi rolled her eyes and stared at him coldly. "As if. Don't forget that if you come after me, I can whip your ass mercilessly," she stated through gritted teeth. Gavin made an annoying sad baby face. "Aww, don't be like that, Mo-Mo... remember, I'm the one who caused you and the Alpha to meet in the first place. You should be thanking me," he boasted. Mochi flared her demon wings, then snapped them back into her back as Gavin stepped back in alarm. "Don't test me. Remember, I'm also an alpha, black bear," she growled. Now, Mochi's entire mood changed, filling the energy with suspense, caution, and a sense of terror. Gavin looked over at Thea and Anais. "So you dumb homosexuals have gotten on Lil' Mochi's good side, huh?" Mochi's eyes turned red as her voice started to gravel. "Says the guy who's secretly dating his best friend, oh, what's the name... JACK?!" she exclaimed. Surrounding people started to snicker, but Mochi shot a cold look to silence them as Gavin's face went red in embarrassment and anger. HE took a step towards Mochi and looked straight into her eyes. "Lemme tell you something..." he started. "You may usually act cute and sweet, but you really are a demon underneath. Nothing's ever gonna change that, and you will NEVER be put in your place." With that, Gavin shoved his way out of the crowd. Probably thinking Mochi felt proud about putting Gavin in his place (temporarily). But she didn't. Not at all.
She felt terrible.
