Ryan lazed in the grass a bit more. Content with falling asleep amongst the grass. He started to chew bits of grass that had fallen into his face. His ears perked up a bit when he heard tires screeching to a halt some here just beyond his vision. He rolled over to get a better look at what was going on. As the door opened he smelled something. He sniffed the air again making sure he was correct. The air had a subtle hint of charred wood. He crawled closer to the spectacle forgetting that he had two legs instead of four. He hid himself behind a tree as a young man was ceremoniously dropped on the ground along with all his things. His tail wagged excitedly. It was the first time since his parents dropped him off that he had seen another living person.

Sniffing the air again, Ryan coughed a little covering his nose. As much as he wanted to pounce on the young man he kept his distance. He watched him pull himself off the ground and survey the campus. He took a deep breath after a moment having all of his senses adjusted to the general small of drugs and burnt wood. He just couldn’t contain himself any longer. He leaped from behind the tree, collapsing into a seat beside the young man licking his face. “ Hi” He grinned, his tail creating a little whirlwind behind him.
