Michael's POV~

Lunch was over and I have the same classes with Oliver for the rest of the day, making me very happy. Richard and Ray both had the same classes too.

If I'm going to win Oliver's trust and love, I need to start now. So many Beastman love him already, so I need to make my move before anyone else does. Plus, if people know that I'm trying to make Oliver mine, they'll back off knowing I have the advantage.

Our next class was gym, and I was excited for it too. Gym was the only class I really cared for. And I couldn't wait to see Oliver change. Yeah, I know, I'm a bit of a pervert, but with something as cute and innocent as him, I'm sure everyone would want to look.

I was walking with him towards the locker room, but he soon stops. "I-I forgot my gym clothes at home." I smiled. "Oh well, it's just once. I'm sure you'll be fine."

He nods and smiles up at me. I can feel myself melting in that smile. However, it was soon replaced with curiosity as I see Jake approach us.

He hands him some clothes and Oliver looks at him in disbelief. "H-How did you get my clothes?" Jake shrugs and says "It fell out of your bag this morning and I never had the chance to give it to you." Oliver nods. "Sorry for my clumsiness." Jake smiles and leans close to his face, making me a little upset. "Don't worry about it."

Jake then walks off and into the locker room. What's his deal? He never does stuff like that! There's no way a narcissistic bastard like Jake would like Oliver. The only thing he cares about is his little fan club! There's no way he's interested in him.

After getting the thought out of my head, I walk into the locker room with Oliver and get dressed. Since Oliver is innocent, I didn't look at him. I don't want to invade his privacy too much, otherwise he'd hate me. So I'm playing it safe. I knew the others were trying to look at him, so I used my body to block out any possible ways for people to see him.

I saw Jake changing, and he was glaring a bit. I don't know why, I still don't think he likes him. There's no way. So I wonder why he keeps glaring.

After everyone got dressed, we head back to the gym, where the teacher was waiting for us. He has us line up on the sideline and we all do our everyday stretches and warm ups. After we were done with that, Jake and I were called up for teams for dodgeball, but with a twist.

"Okay, the two of you will call a teammate at the same time. Whoever you call's name will prince/princess. Everyone else is a knight, and these people will be Necromancer's."

Okay, our gym teacher is really fit, but he's a closet nerd. Well, not really a closet nerd because he planned this. But the game is really fun.

Here's the rules. Each team has a prince or princess. They stay in the back of the gym against that wall and provide balls for the knights to use. The King, which would be me and Jake, come up with strategies and uses them to our advantage. A Necromancer brings back a Knight from the prison, where they are revived from death and put back in the game. A royal guard protects the prince or princess.

It's a weird version of dodgeball, but it's also really fun. This is why I like gym so much.

Anyway, we had a countdown to choose our prince or princess. And I know who it's going to be. The gym teacher counts down numbers.

"3.... 2.... 1...."

"OLIVER!"

Oliver looks at both of us in confusion as we both look at each other with a glare. The teacher looks at us with surprise. Usually we'd have Richard and Ray be our princes, but this is the first time in a long time that Kings have chosen the same prince.

The teacher walked over to us. "Okay, you two do Rock Paper Scissors, best two out of three. Whoever wins has Oliver as their Prince." We nod and start. I win the first one. He wins the second. I was nervous, but we both play. Unfortunately, he won, meaning Ray was my prince, so I made Richard the royal guard.

The game starts and I tell strategize and tell my team ideas.

Jake's POV~

I was so happy that I got to have Oliver as my prince! Sure, it was unfortunate that Richard wasn't on my team, but I'm happy to have Oliver.

I go around and tell my team what to do. Oliver has been doing really good at his role though. He may be small, but he was fast. He was good at his role. And because of him, our team was able to win.

After a few rounds, we had to head back to the locker room to change. As I was changing, Oliver approached me, making me blush a bit.

"Jake, right?" I nod my head at his question. He smiles brightly. "Next time, can I be a royal guard? I'd love to be able to hit someone with a ball." I nod my head. He thanks me and heads back out and waits for the bell. From a distance, I see Michael glaring at me as I glare back.

The rest of the school day was just history, Spanish, and a study hall. During that study hall, I sat next to Oliver. However, on the other side of Oliver was Michael. We both watched him draw little anime characters and furs. He was really good at drawing. It made me smile seeing him draw. I already did my homework, and I'm sure Oliver already did his.

Soon, the school day ended and we left for home. I had a car, so I could drive home in my own. I offered Oliver a ride home, but apparently he likes bus rides, so I let him go. I was about to approach my car when I see Michael standing next to it.

Third person POV~

Michael stood by Jake's car, waiting for him to get closer. As Jake headed to it, he looks at Michael with a slight glare. "What do you want?"

Michael kept his glare and responded. "What business do you have with Oliver?" Jake smirks and says "Business? What business? I'm just another student, but Oliver, he's something else." Michael's glare seemed to get sharper.

"I'm saying this here and now, wolfy. Oliver. Is. Mine." The husky glared at him and said "You're mistaken. I believe he belongs to me." Their glares we're getting darker by the second.

"You're joking, right? Last time I knew, the only thing you cared about was Richard and your little fan club." The husky rolls his eyes at the tiger's comment. "You weren't any different." The tiger looks at him and replies. "That's the thing. 'Were.' But now I'm dedicating my time and lift to Oliver."

Jake was furious. "If you're going that route, then I'm doing the same. And soon he'll realize how much he loves me." Michael smirks. "I'll get to him first. And he'll always like being close to me in my loving arms."

The two glare at each other, the electricity flowing between them. And not because of Michael's power. "HE'S MINE!!!"

The both of them got in their cars and rode home. Both of their thoughts being "Oliver will love me. I'm not sharing. He's mine. And mine alone."
