Forest City 2 Chapter 13 -So it ends-

    "Macadamia, did you write these parts of the story or did Monty write them?" Chordata asked.
    "I-I... I didn't..." I answered in defeat.
    My dad glared over at me and opened his mouth to speak, but Chordata held her hand up to stop him and said, "I understand why you had your friend write those missing parts for you, it isn't the first time he has done this."
    "What!?" Monty's dad exclaimed.
    "DAD! I only wanted to help Mac!" Monty cried, his eyes darted toward Cobalt who had his head down on the table, his ears rested flat, "can't you see what this is doing to us!?"
    "Montimer, this has to be done," Monty's dad replied, "I can't have you doing this again."
    "I recall that Monty helped Cobalt in my class in an attempt to help raise my son's grade," Mr. Lupin said while in deep thought.
    "That's because of YOUR harsh grading!" I called out, "And because you pick favourites."
    "Favourites... that would be blatant discrimination, you could lose your job Mr. Lupin," Mr. Aguila spoke up.
    "Who is he picking favourites over?" Chordata asked, I couldn't tell if she was talking to me or Mr. Lupin.
    "Midge!" I blurted out, "I know Mr. Lupin has been giving her straight A's this whole semester even if she doesn't pay attention or follow the rubric!"
    "That's not true, this girl is lying!" Mr. Lupin protested as he pointed his finger at me from across the table.
    "I have a feeling that the only reason why she gets good grades is because her father is the head of the school board. Trust me, I used to have her mother over for tea and they gossiped about all of the other student's grades and how their parents were failing them," Hazel objected.
    "I see," Mrs. Chordata said in deep thought, she then started to pace around the back of the room.
    "Should we recap?" Mr. Aguila asked.
    "Do we need to take this to court?" Delgado croaked.
    "Let us recap," Chordata continued, "I have made my decisions, if you have any objections, wait until I am done. Mr. Lupin on an account of favouritism, you intentionally shredded up Macadamia's papers and gave them poor grades, even after following the rubric. You have the said motive and I have found you guilty. As punishment..." Mrs. Chordata paused she seemed cautious about her decision she then raised her head almost as if she was trying to gain some respect, "Mr. Lupin... you're fired."
    Mr. Lupin lowered his head and closed his eyes in defeat...

    "You." Mr. Lupin spat threateningly.     I sat in silence waiting for the attack.     "You are in so much trouble Macadamia," Lupin's voice began to rise in volume as he approached me, he continued while still taking steps towards me, "You think this game your playing is so smart, that you can ruin someone's life because you hate them."     Don't let his words get to you, I thought to myself, it's not worth it .     "Well, listen here, I hope that you get expelled and sent back to your father's farm," Lupin's words practically wounded me. He was awfully close to my face, his snout almost touching mine and he said silently, "Between you and me, I will win this little game you're playing." He took his hands off of the armrest of the chair I was sitting in, I hadn't noticed that my arms were wrapped around my chest in defence.     "Conall, get back in here, now," sounded Mrs. Chordata from the ...

Forest City Chapter 9 -Liar-

    It was around 3:52 when Aunt Hazel and I arrived back at her apartment. She has 8 minutes to get ready for tea with the ladies and I had already made my way up the stairs and into my room, remembering to not hit my head on the ceiling. I gazed out the window, hoping that Cobalt would be waiting, his lights were off and I didn't get to see his handsome blue eyes. My phone buzzed.     Cobalt: 3:53 "Expect to see me with no fur lol."       -Cobalt sent a GIF-     -Mac joined the conversation-     Mac: 3:53 "Lol how's detention going."     Cobalt: 3:53 "Dad was furious, Tora got away with it. D:<"     Mac: 3:54 "Sorry to hear about that, any other stupid consequences."     Cobalt: 3:54 "Lunch detention..."     Mac: 3:55 "What about Bonnie, she's going to drive Monty up the walls with her constant staring and gossiping."     Cobalt: 3:55 "Bonnie's been glaring at you two durin...

Forest City 2 Chapter 1 -October-

    It has been a month since Bonnie's disastrous birthday party, she hasn't talked to me since then, I don't blame her. I stepped over a few piles of dirty laundry in my room and opened my big dresser and all of it's glorious drawers. As a kid, I used to play in dresser drawers, I mostly rummaged through my parents and sisters dressers looking for something fun in them. I never was allowed in my brother's rooms, but I'm sure all that I'd find in their dressers are a bunch of old superhero comics or... I don't know... nut free snack foods. My brother Sorrel is a topic of conversation, he's deadly allergic to tree nuts, which is ironic because, well, we're squirrels. I threw that thought out of my brain, none of my clothes were clean, all my drawers were empty, and most importantly, Aunt Hazel was out of town. I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO USE A WASHING MACHINE!!!     Our other neighbor, that lives on the opposite side of the Lupins, to the left of...
