Forest City 3 Chapter 2 -Gossip Begins to Brew-

-

    Something seems so familiar about Tora, I can't quite think of him or his name. It doesn't ring a bell, I glanced up in the hallway, I was standing near homeroom, looks like we have a sub today because I can't get in the room. I felt a slight tap on my shoulder, I turned my head to see Cobalt's cute little face staring back at me. Something about the dance and the whole fiasco made me reconsider a lot about Cobalt and Bonnie as people.

    "I brought you something on my way here, that's why I'm a little late, got you something too Monty," Cobalt began and handed us two coffee cups full of tea.

    "T-thanks," I stuttered and took a sip.

    "Both of your favorites," Cobalt closed his eyes, almost like he was victorious of something.

    "I do like a good Early Gray," Monty chimed in.

    I was surprised that Cobalt even knew my favorite tea, spiced pomegranate and orange. I asked curiously, "And what did you get yourself?"

    "I got an espresso," Cobalt answered quickly.

    "Uh oh, someone is a little jittery," Monty winked and asked, "How many cups did you get?"

    "I only drank one..." Cobalt trailed off, "maybe I had half of my mom's iced coffee."

    Monty winked at Cobalt with their super secret "bro language" I will never understand, I feel like every guy I meet has some kind of bro language, whether it is punching someone in their arm or making the most obnoxious grunting sounds to reply to someone, every guy I've met has done this. Mostly these two and my dad... who hasn't stopped texting and calling me all morning. I just left the messages unread and let the calls go to voicemail, which I most likely won't listen to this afternoon. I don't even see the point in voicemails at all, if someone calls me, chances are, I am going to call them back. I guess it can be useful in some situations, but sometimes it just isn't. More annoying than helpful when you can't even remember the stupid password!

    "Mac, you gonna get that?" Monty asked as he glanced down at my phone, "it's your dad."

    "Nope," I answered, "I know why he's calling."

    "Care to share," Cobalt asked then took a sip of coffee his hands shaking from the caffeine.

    "Ever since the whole fiasco at school, he's been calling me and he sounds worried every time," I answered, "I stopped answering because I didn't want to hear the same things he said over and over."

    "What has he said," Monty chimed in then he glanced behind his shoulder. Green Alert! I read in his eyes.

Character Files: Monty

      It kind of is funny to me that my first intentions when I made Monty was to have a nerdy character be the evil one. Monty originally was going to be a villain at first. I had made a business seagull dude that would be his father who was really mad that Cobalt was this teenager who constantly was getting in trouble with the law. Monty, I imagine, would go on the adventures with Cobalt and Mac just to spy on them. I feel he would have made a great twist villain in that story, but now Monty is a lot nicer... sort of. Monty has gone through the least changes in his design over time, I feel his personality has changed the most out of all the characters. Introducing! Incarnation 1: "Olive," was all Monty was, a simple little short dove character that hated mischief and only wanted order, like his father. I can imagine a good redemption arc for this character though. Incarnations 2: This isn't the only drawings of Monty, he has had some other drawings, but I found tha...

Forest City 2 Chapter 3 -The Past-

-
    It was roughly three years ago when everything actually happened, it all started, the beginning of the end. A new era of students crashed through the doors of the high school for the very first time. I walked beside Cobalt, my best friend since forever ago. All of us, freshmen, new to a world that was unfamiliar. We all knew each other, but everything seemed to have changed. We all were different, some of us even "matured" if that even ever happened.     "Monty! Cobalt!" A familiar voice called after us, "Let me show you around!"     Cobalt turned to face a student we became friends with through a club, which club you ask? I have no idea which one. We turned to see the twins, two cockatiels, Cobalt and I both were aware of Nymph, the older and much more involved sister, but we never got to know Ajax as well, Nymph's twin brother. I soon remembered that Nymph was helping us during 8th grade at the end of the school year, she helped prepare us middle...
