Chapter 2 In the Flowerbox pt 2 She went through front door into her house. It was great to be back in this place. It was also great that she didn´t have any home work today. Juniper walked through the carpeted halls, before reaching a room with a door that was covered in art. She pushed it open emerging into her happy place. Her room. Like the door, the walls were splattered in artworks. On one side of the room though, masks and tails hung like vines, with a kandi bin underneath them. By her bed was the biggest piece of art she had. It was the therian theta-delta and the fictionkin symbol, with pretty artworks on it of animals and naturey things. She also had a shelf where she put things she collected of her fandoms. While the floor was covered in short gray carpet, her walls were a forest-green with fake vines draping from the ceiling. She also had had to put a few wardrobes and desks around. The lighting mostly came from the LED lights she had put up, and the top light on her ceiling, but flecks of sunlight streamed through the window that had a small garden on it. Juniper quickly unpacked her stuff, before rushing over to her small window-ledge garden to water it with a watering can that sat on a small part of the windowsill. She grabbed it like normal and raised it over the plants, but then among the mini foliage, she noticed an envelope. It had probably flew out of the neigbors window and landed here. Juniper sighed, and grabbed it. But when she turned it over to the side with the address, it clearly read her name. It was from this weird place called Paws United School For Alterhumans. She looked it over. The postal stamp had a picture of the therian theta-delta and the fictionkin symbol. Did someone who knew her enroll her? This was probably just a scam, but she would show her mom first. If her mom was back from work. Juniper hurried through the long hall that her bedroom stood, and out to the place by the door. The dining room stood nearest it, the windows there letting sunlight gaze down the table, walls, and floor. Lucky for Juniper, her mom was here. Her mom was seated at the table, sipping coffee. ¨Hey mom,¨ she said awkwardly fiddling with the letter. ¨Do you know what this is about?¨ Here mom looked up from her cup and gently took the letter from Juniper´s hand. She gazed at it, before seeming to let out a defeated sigh. ¨I guess I took to long to respond,¨ she said nervously. ¨What do you mean?¨ Juniper asked, now feeling slightly suspicious. Her mom let out another sigh before responding. ¨I got emailed about this school. You know how there are a lot of kids in this house, and schooling costs a lot of money? Oh, your siblings should be getting back around now. At least two of them. Crimson always arrives late.¨ Juniper felt impatience crowd her mind, and resisted the urge to snap, ¨Get to the point!¨ But she didn´t, instead she just muttered ¨Continue.¨ Her mom began talking again. ¨Since you are an alterhuman, and this school has amazing financial support… it would really help the family if you went to school there. But I didn´t want to tell you yet, because I was looking for the right moment.¨ Juinper felt frozen. A new school?! No! She liked the one she was at. She had her friends, and she new all the hallways, and outside areas. ¨Mabye you should open that letter, it will explain more,¨ her mother handed her back the white envelope. Juniper took it, and tore it open. Inside was an official looking document. It read: Hello! You have been invited to a school specifically for alterhumans. Paws United School For Alterhumans, better known as PUSFA, or just PawsUnited, is a boarding school that covers all normal subjects, but also includes special subjects related to alterhumanity. You can where gear, do quads, and this is a shift friendly environment if you are an alterhuman that experiences shifting. If you would enjoy attending, please fill out the online survey on this link. Below the text was a printed out link. Her mom jerked her head towards a computer on the table, indicating that Juniper should go on it. Still in shock, Juniper opened the laptop, signed in, and quickly typed in the link. It brought her to a website that must have been made for this school. The survey included, what kind(s) of alterhuman are you? And Do you experience shifts? And also questions about what kinds of theriotypes she had. She completed the survey in a matter of minutes. But the ending question seemed so big. It showed: Please sign your full name here if you wish to participate in PUSFA. ¨You didn´t tell me it was a boarding school?!¨ Juniper lashed out. ¨You´ll still be able to visit on weekends,¨ her mom said. ¨But I like it here!¨ ¨Please Juniper. At least try a month there. If you don´t like it you can come straight back home. Please.¨ Juniper thought about this for a second. She knew she probably wasn´t going to win this argument. ¨Fine,¨ she grumbled in reply.
She typed out her name on the part of the survey where she had to do that, feeling sick. Finally, she clicked the submit button. Worries seemed to crash on her like waves. The comferting thought was that once a month passed by, she could go back to the school she liked. She definitely wouldn´t want to stay at this alterhuman school! But she couldn´t tell completely. At least, not yet. Next: not yet!

Her mom reveals that she didn´t want to tell Juniper yet. Juniper enrolls in the school.
