In the land of the winged, many aim to achieve. Each being there normally has wings, and each with a different species. They live high in the mountains and right now- "C'mon bird boy!" school time is now starting. "Ziraaaaaa! Do me a big favor and not scream at the me! I'm no where near as fast as you and you know it!" said a raven haired boy. The boy was 15, 5'9, white, was wearing a black collared shirt with white shorts, and 2 black wings with a single white stripe in them. "Oh come on! Don't blame your speed on me! It's not my fault you're a magpie.".
"Oh don't start that shit!". The girl in question had dark auburn hair, 5'7, bright almond colored skin, and wearing blue jeans with a white t-shirt. She had 2 larger wings that were more aerodynamic. "And what will you do about it?" Zira asked. ".... Damn falcons." He said as he immediately started flying faster to a red school building as she processed those words. "Oh you black winged little-" She said as he just landed at the entrance.
She then did the on thing falcons are famous for: The high dive. "HEY!" she said as she tackled him into a pin. "Ow ow ow- Okay, you win. You always win!". She then let him go as they both walked into the school building. "Hey June. Where are all the kids-" she was then interrupted as they heard the bell. "Fuck- fuck- fuck!!!!" June said as they both started running. June stuck out his arm and just as he wrapped his fingers around the handle it got pulled open and a tall white middle aged many with two gray wings tucked behind him. "Zira North-Wing and June Nightingale. Give me one good reason not to mark you tardy?".
Zira then smiled and said "It's only a few minutes late-", "If by that you mean ten minutes of peace that I'll probably never get again then yes, you are late." he said. June then stepped up and said "Mr. Strong, surely you could grant me and my dear friend some access just this one time?" He said nicely. ".... Just this once." He said letting them pass. Once they got in the class room they both sat down in their seats and he took out a book.
"Alright class. Today I have a special announcement. Next week we will be going on a field trip to the land of Scales.". The class all listened in as he continued. "The trip will last a week and the entrance fee is $20, so I'll be handing out forms for all of you to sign." As he handed out forms June looked at the paper with intrigue. "The land of scales. I've never been there but I've heard that it's full of some densely packed forest. Each just teaming with life!" He says excited about all he could learn.
"Well unlike you no one else is going to be nerd-ing out. So just enjoy yourself and relax." Zira said to him. A few hours later the bell rang and they spread their wings. "How could you not be excited? We're going to a whole new place with people we've never seen before!". June said as they started flying, unaware of the 5 shadows above them. "Yeah but still- MOVE!" She said as something dove between them.
"Well, well, well boy's. Look who's back!" They then look up to see 5 sets of blood red wings with black spots. "Fuck it's Darren!" June said getting behind Zira. Darren was an annoying jackass with white hair, same height as Zira, Always wore a black shirt with a red jacket, and red sweatpants. He was strong and powerful with his little posse. "What's wrong? Scared of a Bearded vulture?". "I thinks he's more scared of your posse." Zira said.
"Oh well. Anyhow your on our turf now. Which would make this trespassing, and what do we do with trespassers boys?". As soon as he said that his gang all dove at them. "FUCKING RUN!!!!!!" June said as they flew. "What did you do to piss them off now?!?!?!?!" June asked Zira. "All I did was mind my own business-" "Bullshit!" they said while flying. Once they were far enough away they stopped chasing them. "*huff* T-that was intense. Zira *huff* you have got to stop pissing of Darren of all people!".
"Easy for you to say! He's a vulture! He's gonna go at anyone that's it's of interest to him.". June just stared at her for a second before his expression hardened. "You mean just like how you thought of me when we first met?". She then looked at him with regret and said "Sorry sorry." She said apologizing. ".... Fucking vultures." June said. "I heard that!" Said Zira as they parted ways.
Once June got home he walked in and slowly got to his room. "Thank god moms not back from work yet." He said as the lights in his room turned on to see his mom in a office chair turn to look at him. "Where were you?" She asked as he wanted to just spread his wings and dip. "I was... avoiding conflict like a respectful citizen?" he said shrugging his shoulders.
".... If that's true, then why is there a red feather in your hair?" she said pulling out one. "That.... is from Darren." he admitted telling her what happened. ".... Where does he live...." She said standing up and going downstairs. He then followed her and said "Mom let's just calm down-". "June," She said coming out with a shotgun. "Where. Does. He. Live?". He then lowered the barrel down and said "It's just Darren I'll be fine. And there's a field trip coming up too!" he said giving her the paper.
"So, it's not like I'm gonna be stuck on a bus with him for 2 hours right?".

"Of all the people I had to be seatmates with...." He said looking away. "It had to be Darren!".
