Forest City 2 Chapter 8 -The Question-

-

    I woke up to the sound of my window being pounded on, Monty had spent the night writing some of the missing parts of my story to make them up for me. I told him to type them instead so that Mr. Lupin wouldn't be so suspicious. Monty had bounded his way up the stairs, when he reached the ladder, he stopped, then opened the hatch. I watched from my bed, as Monty's head appeared from the floor, almost like a groundhog coming up to check its shadow.

    "You gonna get that?" Monty asked, "He's been pounding on that window all morning!"

    "I uh... who's there?" I asked. 

    Monty gave me a look of confusion then he said, "Go to the window! I'm still working on making your story cooler!"

    "Alright, alright, what time is it anyway?" I asked.

    "7:32," Monty replied, the his head disappeared from the floor and the hatch was closed.

    I pulled the covers off of myself and made my way to the window, I pushed back the curtains and there Cobalt was kneeling on the floorboards looking as handsome as ever. I pulled back the latch on my window and pushed my window up to let him inside, Hazel would kill me if she saw me doing this (mostly because I removed the screen on the window and it fell into the alleyway down below). Cobalt climbed inside of my room, something Hazel would definitely not approve.

    "What are you doing here?" I asked.

    "I wanted to ask you a very important question... and maybe kiss you afterwards," Cobalt said, except I didn't quite hear that last part.

    "W-what is it?" I stuttered, I had truly believed that Cobalt had been blowing me off all throughout last week because I thought him and Bonnie were back together again but...

    "I wanted to ask you if you wanted to go to the... uh," Cobalt stuttered, I could tell he didn't want to say the name of the dance that the school came up with... the Fall Ball, "to the school dance..."

    Yes! Yes! Of course I'll go with you Cobalt! I was hoping you'd say that! I thought, then I replied, "I... uh... er..."

    "I understand..." Cobalt trailed off and began to turn around and head home.

    "Wait! I-I would love to go to the dance with you," I replied, "I was going to ask you the same thing, but I always get so well... so gosh darn nervous."

    Cobalt asked one last thing, "Can I kiss you?"

Forest City 2 Chapter 10 -Wolf in Sheep's Clothing-

    "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...
