Forest City 3 Chapter 16 -Instant Regret-

-

    I decided to head to the library with Monty, Mac was packing for a trip that they were going to take, so I decided that I would "fill in" for them today. Monty had talked about having after school meetings at the library, it was Saturday, the week before finals, I imagine he would want to have study times with Mac and I, as we haven't been doing particularly great this year. But... it was something else, something was on Monty's mind. We went to the back of the library, as usual, but when he sat down, something was off with him, almost as if he was waiting to tell me some life changing detail about himself.

    "I was hoping that Mac wouldn't be here for this," Monty began, "Guess my wish came true."

    "Why do you say that," I replied resisting the urge to growl, I wasn't particularly on good terms with him after what Mac had told me at my house on Monday.

    Monty's eyes darted around the library, he was looking around for... someone, almost like he was being spied on or some secret agent was watching him. I glanced around the room as well, maybe I would see someone that I knew who was trouble.

    "Have you and Bonnie been talking lately," Monty continued.

    "Yeah, it's kind of weird, she's been super nice and..." I trailed off.

    Monty's eyes darted across the room and he spoke, "Bonnie talked to me last night, she said some awful things and-I-I," He stopped speaking and put his hand to his beak. He looked like he was going to tear up and cry.

    "What!?" I shouted, then lowered my voice, "What did she say to you?"

    "I shouldn't have told you this, I'm sorry, I-I," he stammered.

    "What have you done!?" I raised my voice again this time a growl did come out.

    Monty stared horrified at me, I'd never done such a thing to him before, I'd never growled, and I didn't mean to, I was so frustrated at him, so frustrated that he talked to Bonnie and said something... I don't even know what he said, but it made me angry just thinking about it.

    "Bonnie wanted to... use Mac to get closer to you," Monty said in defeat, he lowered his voice and said, "she still has feelings for you, Cobalt."

    My shoulders relaxed, I breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and walked out of the library. I didn't say goodbye to him, I didn't even acknowledge him and his cry after me. I just walked out...

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...
