Guess who's back! Hey y'all, I'm so happy and proud of y'all for being patient with me and my insufferable writer's block. I've finally managed to figure out how I want this chapter to go, so here. This wlll be the only story in this line that is not in both Clawdeen's and Toralei's pov.

I don't own Monster High otherwise there'd be a lot more Clawdelei fics.

Toralei woke up Monday morning feeling like she always did: grumpy, hungry, tired and altogether rubbed the wrong way due to the way she slept. Sighing as she climbed out of bed, the werecat began washing herself and smoothing her fur. Combing through it afterwards to reduce hairballs, she went downstairs to find Purrsephone and Meowlody already awake and waiting for her.

"Hey Toralei, you got a love note today." Purrsephone called as the orange cat went for the cereal.

"From who?" Toralei grumbled, taking down a bowl.

"Sebastian." Meowlody giggled.

"Really?" Toralei's ears perked up and she snatched the note from the table quickly. It was in fact a note from Sebastian, a clean cut gray werewolf that played batball. The note said: Dear Toralei, I was wondering if you would like to have lunch outside with me today instead of sitting in the loud crowded cafearteria. Sebastian.

"What does it say?" Purrsephone inquired curiously, noting the dreamy look in Toralei's eyes.

"He wants to have lunch with me outside today." Toralei responded, digging a spoon from the drawer and moving over to the table to sit with her friends.

"How sweet is that?" Meowlody purred.

"Very sweet." Purrsephone agreed, slicing into an orange.

"Are you going to do it?" Meowlody inquired, looking at Toralei excitedly.

"Maybe." Toralei said slowly, her sly grin giving away the fact that she was definitely teasing.

"Ooh, I am so going to take a picture!" Purrsephone squealed.

"You so will not!" Toralei laughed, poking Purrsephone. "Seph, I don't want that picture getting out and starting rumors. It's just lunch."

"Today it's lunch." Meowlody pointed out.

"Tomorrow it's your wedding day." Purrsephone sighed dreamily.

Toralei shook her head with a chuckle as she took her dishes to the sink and rinsed them out. "Come on, let's get to school."

"Yeah, you need to tell Sebastian yes." Purrsephone laughed, following her sister and Toralei out the door.

They walked to Monster High like every other day and arrived early so that they could have some fun taunting the lesser monsters. As they sauntered into the school, many students froze up so as not to be targeted by the girls. Toralei's eyes roamed the hall and she gave a menacing catty grin as she strode forward, swaying her hips as her heels clicked on the cracked linoleum. Arriving at her locker, Toralei felt more than saw Purrsephone and Meowlody take their places on either side of her to protect her, the same way she did for them. Once Toralei had gotten her books for her first and second classes, she glanced around and her eyes zeroed in on a small Cyclops who was hurrying for her locker. Toralei moved quickly and blocked the girl's path, leering at the frightened monster.

"Well, well, well. I don't think I've seen you here before, now have I?" The girl squeaked in fear as she watched the three werecats eyeing her speculatively.

"I-I've been here all s-school y-year." The Cyclops said, gulping slightly at the end of her sentence.

"Really?" Toralei inquired, leaning down as she drew out the word. "Well then, you must know-."

"-that you're not worth her time?" said a voice behind them.

Toralei turned quickly to see Clawdeen moving toward her, using almost the exact same walk Toralei did.

"Wolf!" Toralei growled.

"Stripe." Clawdeen said with a nod and a smile. "Why don't you leave Una alone? She just needs to get to her locker. Unless of course, you see the Cyclops as a threat?"

Toralei straightened indignantly. "What? I wouldn't see this puny thing as a threat even if she had catnip." Toralei snarled.

Clawdeen simply laughed. "I think you think she may be trying to steal your crush. Isn't that right, Una?" The Cyclops looked ready to faint as Toralei's green eyes turned back to her.

"Why not get lost, Wolf?" Toralei retorted, turning her attention back to Clawdeen.

"Only if you'll be willing to find me, Stripe. So long." Toralei stared after the werewolf in confusion as she sauntered away.

"What was that?" Purrsephone inquired.

"I don't know." Meowlody replied, glancing at Toralei.

"Let's go." Toralei said stiffly, eyeing the Cyclops angrily. "Watch your steps, Una." The werecat threatened, drawing out the girl's name as the three of them made their way to class.

There y'all go. The first chapter has now been published. It's going to take some getting used to, I'm falling into a slightly if not completely different routine than last year so bear with me and my ups and downs. In the meantime, review and tell me what you think of this chapter, eh?
