The Dragon and the Schoolgirl

You and your family are secretly dragons. You use enchantments to give yourselves human appearances. But family life is just as normal as any family’s: your dad loves watching football, your mom loves to read, and your little sister, Julia, loves to constantly annoy you. School life, however, is totally out of your comfort zone. You often just keep your head down and focus on your school works, trying desperately to get through the day. You have friends. Well, you have a friend, Toby Marks. He’s a nerd and more on the introverted side like you, but you two understand each other. Then there’s Rebecca Hobs. You aren’t really friends, but she is kind to you, giving you the answers when you forgot to do homework, making sure she says hi whenever she sees you, giving you the most genuine and polite smile, and even sitting with you at lunch when Toby’s absent so you aren’t alone, though you can’t bring yourself to say more than a few words to her. Your throat clenches up and you can feel the dragon fire within you pulsing in time with your heart, which is fast. I mean, how else should you react towards the most beautiful human girl you’ve ever met. You would love to socialize more with her, but frankly you’re way too nervous. But above that, your human form wears off at 12:00 AM and 12:00 PM, forcing you to run to the bathroom fast beforehand and re-enchant the disguise. Surely it wouldn’t work… right? But who knows! Maybe a dragon and a schoolgirl could have a happily ever after!
