In one-day spring break would be over and Clark would need to go back to school. Problem was Clark didn't know what to do about Shadow. He discovered she suffers actually pain when apart from him for too long. He knew pets weren't allowed at school so he needed to find a way to bring her to solve the pain. After a bit of research he found what he was looking for. There was a law passed saying that bonded fantasy creatures were permitted to be with their partner anywhere, as long as the creature was not hostile. So looks like he was going to take a dragon to school, this was going to interesting.

First back back at school and Clark entered the building with a small black dragon curled around his neck and resting on his shoulders. He could already hear people talking about him, the coos from the girls and astonished looks form the guys made him fidget. He didn't like lots of attention on himself and tried to ignore it at he made his way to his class. He sat in his seat placing his bag to the side and getting his homework out for the class. He could feel his unease rise as more people brought him to their attention. Suddenly he feels something warm and slick on his cheek.

"Please, calm yourself Clark"

He was a bit surprised, despite the ability to, Shadow preferred to not talk. He quickly realized she had just licked his cheek in an attempt to calm him. He smiled at her and scratched the top of her head, watching her smile and lean into the touch.

"I'll try, thanks Shadow."

The day went by smoothly, many people would come to ask about Shadow or try and pet her. Most of the time she growled at them and he explained she doesn't like touch from others. Now it was lunch time and Clark was sitting outside with Shadow perched on his head. At first Clark would swat her off every time she tried but soon he gave up and accepted his fate. Her two favorite spots were wrapped around his neck on his shoulders and on the top of his head. So she sat atop his head, perched like a cat, taking care to not poke him with her monstrous claws as her tail swaying behind his head curiously. 

As he ate he realized Shadow hasn't really eaten anything to eat since he found her. Cautiously he held up a slice of apple to her mouth, watching as she looked at it curiously. She reached forward and took it gently in her mouth. Throwing her head back she tossed it into the before catching the entire thing in her mouth. With large bites up she chewed and swallowed the whole thing, licking her lips and smiling at him. Clark chuckled at her goofy smile and continued to feed her as he ate the other food he had.
