I sighed as I fell face flat onto your messy bed. I've been watching over you for 15 years. Since the moment you popped out of your mom. And somehow, I still couldn't do anything right. I'd been a squirrel, a bird, a fish! I shape shifted into your dog for a few months just so I could watch over you. I couldn't give you advice on your project you were so stressed about, I couldn't comfort you whenever you sobbed in the middle of the night as I watched, embracing you in a hug though I knew you couldn't feel it, I couldn't tell you how beautiful you were whenever you would call yourself ugly in the mirror... What good was I for? We shared a soul yet I can't reach you. Not only that, but I felt every emotion you felt so it was even worse when I couldn't help you.

My thoughts were interrupted as you quickly opened the door to your room and slammed it shut before throwing your backpack on the floor and slamming yourself onto your bed right on top of me, or... well. Right Into me. You let out a string of loud curses and I assumed your dad just dropped you off and went somewhere.

I rolled away from you and watched with a frown as I rubbed your back. You couldn't feel it, or see me. But I knew you could feel my presence either way. You had always been strangely, in a way, aware of me almost, but you pushed the feeling aside as early signs of schizophrenia.

"Why are they so... UGHHH!" You screamed out as you threw your teddy bear against the wall before quickly apologizing to it out of guilt. I thanked God that he had sent me to someone who talks to themself, thanks to you being so verbal, I almost always knew what was going on through that pretty head of yours.

"They?" I thought. Ah. More humans. I had thought about shapeshifting into a human before but... It was so risky. But maybe... I could try? Maybe tomorrow. Watching you has taught me so many things I should be alright. A new student in your class... No matter what I'd find a way to blend in. Maybe steal some clothes from your dad.
