You walk slowly to Grersberg Intermediate School, your feet dragging on the floor. It's the first day, and you won't know anybody, so obviously you are nervous. You adjust your backpack before walking through the school gates. Right off the bat, you notice you are the only human there. Everyone else is a Shapeshifter.

There are so many kinds, you think, looking around. You spot a few students with gills, antennae, and even tails! But you are too shy to talk to anyone.

The first period bell rings, and you hurry to class: room 106, sixth grade science. You keep your head down, and nobody notices what you are.

The classroom is in the smallest school building, which is on the west side of the campus. The room itself has a high ceiling, one large window in the back, and a few posters about school rules and class expectations pinned up in various locations.

Huh. Seems normal enough...

About ten students are in the room already; one of which is writing rude messages on the whiteboard with a red dry-erase marker, and another was making paper planes out of notebook paper and throwing them at her peers.

You see a girl sitting in the back, scribbling down a few sentences on her notebook. She seems more quiet than the rest of the class. You sit down behind the girl and wait for class to start...
