Monsters lived in harmony with humans. Monsters were common amongst the human race and there was parades and schools and festivals. In a world where they lived in harmony, there was still some angriness about that.

Welton was a school for humans. Monsters weren’t allowed in. It was pretty stupid as monsters - especially vampires or werewolves - had gotten pretty well of hiding their monster identity.

You were a monster, a very rare one at that since you were the last one of your kind. Your parents gave birth to you and then they were killed by a drunk driver. You had done pretty well on yourself, but were now at Welton because it was close and you still needed an education.

Charlie thought himself to be pretty smart. He was in Welton with good grades and in the top classes, he did well in rowing and was always the first one with a witty comeback.

“You’re a monster?” Charlie hissed at you, raised eyebrows and a shocked look. Not in disgust, but in genuine shock - he had never seen a monster up close.

The pair of you were sat in your dorm since Charlie and Cameron had had another argument and you had become one of Charlie’s close friends - just after Neil.

“Like, an actual monster?” He looked at you, gobsmacked and intrigued. He wanted to know everything.
