After Apryl and Keith had left, Chester didn't feel any more comfortable being in his wolf form. His wolf was happy but he didn't like all the things that he couldn't do while he was in that form.
Eating wasn't an issue for them as Jeff had made sure to take care of that. He was really good at reading what people needed and didn't have to be asked in order to make sure certain things were adequately taken care of. One of the reasons why the larger wolf liked him so much.
He also couldn't check his phone the way that he would have liked to make sure that he wasn't missing anything important. Even when he wasn't at school there were a number of group chats he was a part of that usually required his attention.
Even if he didn't want to take the leadership role, more often than not he found himself being pushed into that position because he was good at it. People were always looking to him for directions on what they should.
