Forest City 3 Chapter 9 -Family Secrets-

-

    Hazel picked me up from Mrs. Lupin's house that night, I wanted to know a little more about what happened between their friend group back in '87. So I asked...

    "It really isn't that concerning," Hazel began, "I don't think you would be that interested in knowing."

    "I'm just curious how all of you split up and began hating each other," I responded.

    "I don't hate Lovell, I just-"

    "YOU'RE JEALOUS!" I yelled out loud.

    "No, Mac, she never actually was interested in Conall, they weren't a good match at all," Hazel replied, then went silent, "I always felt that way about my brother and... your mother."

    "Do you mean that they are bad for each other?" I questioned.

    "Your father is very invested in his farm and well, I just wish that he would let go for once, take a break," Hazel said while pulling into the driveway, "he always wanted Clove take over the farm some day and be a hard worker-"

    "But things changed," I said while we both walked to the front door of the apartment, the porch light above shone brightly, I could hear Mr. Delgado snoring from across the fence.

    "Exactly," Hazel said while unlocking the door to the house, "would you like to continue going through some boxes downstairs.

    "I'd love to," I said with a hint of melancholy.

    "Oh, dear, I know, it's sad to think about all the crazy things you've been through, but winter break is around the corner and you'll be out with your friends throwing snowballs and making snowmen."

    "That's the thing though," I replied, "I've been having some problems with Monty," I was halfway inside the apartment and halfway on the porch, a chilly winter breeze rushed up my spine.

    "Oh! Make sure to shut the door, you'll get a draft in here," Hazel said while putting her coat and mine on the coat rack. Hazel then walked down the hallway, I shut the door, she disappeared into what I believe is the laundry room, and came back out with the same box we went through earlier in the fall. This was the same box we went through before Cobalt came to stay with us.

    All I can say is that Forest City has made me want to do more lately, be remembered for something, and not shoved in a box hiding away in the laundry room. I want to be someone.

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...
