Hello, everyone! This is my first Beastars fanfic, so please be gentle towards me. Since I've watch the anime, I've been wondering what if Legosi fell in love with Els instead. And to be honest, I literally thought that she was going to be the female lead. Not that Haru is bad or anything, I'm just writing how will the story change of sweet boy Legosi fell for Els.

Since last night when she first see the true Legosi that many people don't see because of his scary appearance and for being a carnivore. He's so awkward and so kind. Els felt horrible of being so cruel to him earlier. Tem was close friends with Legosi and the latter went through all the trouble of delivering a love letter to her from the former. Currently, Els was speaking to her friend Alice about happen last night.

"He just wanted to give you a letter from Tem-kun, then?" Alice asked.

"Yes. The reason he was staring at me yesterday was because he wanted to make sure no one knew that Tem had a crush on me after he died," Els said as she looked at the letter for the 20th time.

"Legosi is really such a kind and gentle wolf. That's why I'm taking everything what I said about him yesterday back. There's no way that someone like him could hurt another soul," Els said.

Both Els and Alice were walking out of class. Dinner was about to be served soon. The little goat thought back to her now dead friend Tem. She had no idea that he had feelings for her. She wondered what would had happen if Tem did had the courage to tell her how he felt.

Just then, both females heard something fell on the ground hard. They turned to their left and saw a white rabbit near a flower bed. There were books on the flowers. Which was a shame because they look like were in full bloom as well.

Els heard laughter above and lifted her head up to see two female raccoon and a female cat on a dorm balcony laughing at the rabbit.

"So sorry. Are you okay? The wind blew our stuff out of our hands," The raccoon said laughing.

"Maybe you should get one of your boys to help you out?" The cat asked mocking.

It was no doubt that this females threw the books at the rabbit on purpose. Such a cruel thing to do to another.

"I'm fine. Nothing you two can do will hurt me," The rabbit said. The way she talked, it was clear that this stuff happens a lot to her.

The raccoon and cat went back inside. However, a mattress was thrown at the rabbit who managed to dodged as it landed near her. Els quickly ran to the rabbit's side to see if she was alright.

"Why don't you take that in another room?" The two females above said, cruelly laughing at the rabbit as they left this time.

The white rabbit pick up the books from the flower bed and place them on the mattress.

"Hey, are you okay?" Els asked as she approach the rabbit.

The rabbit look at her for a few minutes. It was been awhile since someone asked her if she was alright.

"Yeah, I'm fine," The rabbit said.

The rabbit then pulled the mattress and walk away from the goat.

"Here, let me help you," Els said as she pick up the other side of the mattress.

However, Alice pulled her away from the mattress and the rabbit. Confused, Els whisper to her friend, "Alice-san, don't you want to help her with this?" Els asked.

"Don't you know that's Haru? She's someone that you shouldn't be near, Els-chan," Alice whispered back to her friend.

Els turn to look at Haru who sigh and began to pull the mattress by herself again. The rabbit didn't look dangerous or anything. Why did Alice said that Haru was someone that she didn't be near her.

"You can go to the cafeteria without me, Alice. I'm going to help Haru," Els said, turning back to help Haru with her mattress. Leaving Alice confuse.

"Sorry about that. My friend was just saying something that wasn't important," Els said.

"You know, you don't have to help me with this," Haru said pulling the mattress to where the door was.

"No, it's fine. I actually don't mind," Els said.

The goat and rabbit were near the door. A few animals were staring at them with confusedness. A few males had often to help them but were pulled away by their friends. Telling them that it was Haru. Els didn't understand why everyone was avoided Haru. The white rabbit seemed like a nice girl. When they finally reached Haru's room, Els saw a squirrel on the bottom bed. She seemed to be doing a crossword puzzle. There's also a poster of Louis next to her.

"If you were here, why didn't you stopped them, Sally?" Haru asked.

"That girl is very mad at you. So I'm just not getting involved with your mess," Sally said, not looking up from her crossword puzzle.

Haru sigh. She should have known that her roommate will not help her.

"Thanks for the warning," Haru said.

"Wanna grab dinner?" Haru asked.

"With you? I'll pass, thank you," Sally said, still not looking at her roommate.

"Okay, fine," Haru said, walking to the door.

"I'll eat with you," Els said as she walk after the rabbit.

Haru stop and look at the goat that helped her earlier with the mattress. The goat clearly didn't know about her or her reputation at school. Perhaps she's an underclassman. It would make sense. However, Haru believe that the goat wouldn't want anything to do with her once she learns the truth. But maybe just for the night, Haru spend dinner with this girl.

"Sure. Why not? By the way, I'm Haru. I'm a third year," Haru said.

"I'm Els. I'm a second year," Els said.

"Right, let's get dinner, Els-san," Haru said.

The two girls soon walk to where the school cafeteria was at.

School cafeteria

Both Els and Haru were at the back of the cafeteria building while the sun was setting. The reason for this was because none of the other students didn't have enough sets for them both. Well others did often one chair to Els. But the goat didn't want to eat without Haru. Why was everyone being mean to her? Did Haru done something in the past that made everybody to not want to have anything to do with her?

"You know, even if we're eating here at the back of the cafeteria, I'm actually enjoying eating with you, Haru-senpai," Els said smiling to the rabbit girl.

The white rabbit turn to her underclassman who was smiling at her. Almost everyone at school wasn't kind to her. Other then Louis, Haru didn't have anyone to talk to other then her flowers.

"Oh, Haru-senpai, are you in the Gardening club? I've noticed that you looked upset when those girls dropped those books on the flowers," Els said.

"Yeah. I'm the only member there," Haru admitted.

"Wow! The only member? You mean you plant all the flowers on the campus all by yourself? That's amazing, Senpai! I don't think I could ever manage to do something like that by myself," Els said in awestruck.

Haru didn't know what to say. Due to her reputation, no one had ever told that she was amazing for taking of the plants of the school. Hearing Els saying that, the rabbit girl felt happy in a long time.

"Well what do we have here? A dwarf rabbit and an Angora goat hanging out and having dinner together. What a beautiful sight, if it wasn't for some low class rabbit," A new voice said, coming towards the two girls.

Both Els and Haru turn and saw a female harlequin rabbit standing beside them that had black fur on her right side and white on her left. Behind were the raccoon and the cat from earlier that were cruel to Haru.

"It's amazing, really. Everybody at school had ignored you and yet you manage to find a new friend," The other rabbit girl said mockingly.

"But it's dangerous, you know. Since that horrible incident that happen on school property, you two shouldn't be all alone," The harlequin rabbit said with the mock tone again. It was very clear that the other rabbit had something against Haru for whatever reason.

"My food has gone bad now," Haru said, getting up from her sport.

"If you have enough time spreading rumors about me, then why don't you patch things up with your boyfriend instead?" Haru asked.

The harlequin rabbit was very furious when Haru mentioned the former's boyfriend, "Huh? You're the one to talk. You're the reason we..."

"He kissed me without my consent. Besides, why get angry at something as petty as that instead of your boyfriend?" Haru said walking away from the three girls but was only pushed harshly to the ground by the harlequin rabbit.

"Haru-senpai!" Els cried out to her upperclassman but was too pushed by the other rabbit as well.

With the two of them on the ground while their food was spill, the harlequin rabbit splashed water on them both. The raccoon had carried a bucket of water with her when they confronted Els and Haru.

"Listen here, we're part the proud, pure, noble race of the endangered harlequin rabbit race. You, an impure dwarf, destroyed our bond. We're out of your league. The student body will surely love to hear how you're sleeping with other boys," The harlequin rabbit said angrily before she turn to Els as well.

"And you. Surely you must know about her. I suggest that you stop hanging out with her unless you wish to be shun as well. After all, you're in the Drama club if I remember correctly. I mean, Louis will hate it if a member spends her time with this rabbit if word got out about this today," She said. And with that, she and her two friends left the two girls on the ground alone.

Girls' restroom

After that incident, both Els and Haru went to the restroom to dry themselves off. They put their clothes on the stalls. Els couldn't believe it. Being so cruel to someone just for a petty reason was awful. A girl shouldn't be angry at someone when they didn't make the first move. In all honest, the boyfriend was the one at fault since he already had a girlfriend, and yet was willing to kiss another girl.

"You know, you should stop hanging out with me," Haru said, not looking at the goat.

Surprise to hear that from the rabbit, Els didn't understand why would Haru not want to hang out with her again. Those girls surely had spread nasty rumors about Haru because of that boyfriend. That would have explained why no one wanted to be near Haru, not even her own roommate Sally wanted nothing to do with her.

"I don't care about what those girls said about you, Haru-senpai. That girl was just jealous that her boyfriend had kissed you without asking you. You didn't did anything wrong. Those rumors are false since they're not true," Els said kindly to the older girl.

"No, you're wrong. I do sleep with a lot of guys. So those rumors aren't false. But I wasn't lying when I said that guy kissed me without asking me. So I get it if you don't want to hang out with me again after tonight," Haru said.

However, Els shook her head. Yesterday, she unfairly judged her classmate Legosi just because he was a giant carnivore. When she saw how sweet and gentle he really was, Els decided to be more open-minded from now on. She's not gonna judge Haru for sleeping around with a lot of boys.

"I don't care if you do that, Haru-senpai. You don't act like a bad animal anyway. I want to hang out with you again and get to know you more, Senpai," Els said.

Haru was speechless for a minute. No one wanted to hang out with her. But this goat girl actually wanted to hang out with her despite her reputation. The rabbit girl wondered if there was something wrong with this younger girl. Haru just smiled at Els. Maybe having someone else to spend time with may not be a bad idea. Checking their clothes, Haru could see the wetness was almost gone.

"They're mostly dry now. Let's get going, Els-san," Haru said as she and Els took them off from the stalls and them back on.

Checking themselves out for awhile, Haru looked at herself in the mirror.

"You know, when guys see my face, they all think "I have to protect her" or "She needs me by her side". But when they're up close to me, they realized that I'm nothing like what they thought, they use me and leave once they're done. I used it through. Fufu, not that it matters anymore," Haru said to Els.

Els felt her heart arched. Legosi had said something similar like that. Being used to of being hated by everyone around for different reasons. It was wrong.

Outside

After exiting the building, Els and Haru were talking about hanging out the next day.

"I could go and see you where you work, Haru-senpai," Els said.

"That will be nice. Having someone coming over to just see me other then sleeping with me," Haru said.

They walk together for awhile before it was finally time to go to their respective dorms for the night. Since the murder happened, many teachers were on look out at night for anything suspicious going on.

"Be careful on your way, Els-san. The teachers will have at you for being this late after curfew," Haru said, stopping.

"Don't worry. I'll be fine, Senpai," Els said.

After bidding Haru a goodnight, Els started walking to her dorm. It was getting a bit foggy. She tried not to be scared.

Theater building

Meanwhile, Legosi was pacing back and forth. Louis had just asked him to look on guard when the former and Zoe were practicing on the latter's lines. Legosi was a bit scared of the three of them being discovered by the teachers since they were past curfew. The young wolf was reluctant to agree to do this since anything could happen.

"If anyone founds us at here, we're be in big trouble. Not to mention could be disbanded. And will I be suspended? Please, hurry up you two. The teachers have been patrolling more since the murder happened the other night," Legosi thought to himself.

Just then, Legosi heard a loud noise. Spook, Legosi turn to see what it was. But he didn't see anything. Then he heard a cricket sound. Looking down, Legosi saw an actual cricket. Bending down, he pick it with his large finger.

"What are you doing here, little guy? Guess that goes for me as well," Legosi said to the tiny cricket.

However, while he was looking at the insect, Els was walking through the court yard. The water fountain sure did look beautiful in the fog at night. Els was walking a little faster so the teachers won't found her and because it was a bit creepy tonight. At least the fountain was a little comforting for her. But while she was walking, her scent was coming off.

While Legosi was busy looking at the bug on his finger, he caught the scent of animal. It was strong. He turn around to see who it was but only saw the fountain.

He smelled it again. This time however, it got strong. The scent was a herbivore. It smelled familiar somehow. Suddenly, Legosi felt the smell going through his entire body. His veins felt they were burning up. His whole body felt it was going against him. He felt an urge. It was his carnivore instinct! Legosi felt his teeth becoming sharper then they were.

Els was lost in her thoughts to keep herself calm when she heard something nearby, stopping her in her tracks. Her heart was pounding very loudly. She listen for a mere second to make sure that she wasn't hearing things. However, Els knew that there was something in the dark watching het quietly and carefully.

Her instincts had told her to run. Get away! She listen to them. She was scared for her life. This was no doubting what Tem felt when he was murdered. This was the real fear of being prey.

"When I told Legosi that Tem and I were more than we looked, I wonder if I was telling the truth, or was I trying to convinced myself more to Legosi?" Els thought to herself as she ran for her life.

Legosi soon leaped into the air. He was trying to control himself. But his instincts were control him. He manage to caught his prey. He rolled along with the animal that he grabbed. They were so tiny and soft. He was holding them tightly.

Els felt tears coming out of her eyes. She was scared more than she had ever been in her entire life.

"My life is about to end before it truly even began. Mama, I'm sorry for not being strong like you wanted me to be!"
