Forest City 4 Chapter 9 -The Show-

-

    Even though I was nervous about coming on the show, I had a feeling it was going to be easy or at least not as nerve racking. Mom and I stood at the recording room door as the sign above indicated it was time for us to come in the room. I sat down at one of the various chairs, a microphone stood above each spot.

    "This is Cobalt, my son," mom started talking to the other host, we weren't on air yet, but they talked anyway.

    "Nice to meet you Cobalt, I'm Ron," said a large rhinoceros from across the room, he gestured for me to sit at one of the seats.

    "So, how does this work exactly?" I asked while sitting down making sure to not mess up the microphone above me.

    "I ask you questions, you answer," Ron didn't come off as being particularly interested, but he didn't come off as rude.

    "Looks like we're on air in 30 seconds," mom continued. She looked over at me and smiled.

    I began to panic a little bit, but took a deep breath.

    Mom and Ron started the show as usual saying the introduction and introducing me on the show. Ron began asking me questions about myself, I replied with shorter, quicker answers, then they played the music.

    "So, what do we do after we go off air," I asked Ron, trying to spark conversation.

    He lifted a heavy eyebrow and replied, "Don't bother me."

    I placed my hand behind my head and gazed at the ground, this man was starting to get under my skin.

    As we went back on air, I felt a sense of panic again, trying to force it down, I took another deep breath and relaxed a little.

    "So, Cobalt, you go to the local high school here right?" Ron asked.

    "Uh... yeah, it's pretty cool," I replied quickly.

    "Got any friends, girlfriends?" Ron began to prod at the question a little more.

    "Yeah I uh-" I cut myself off.

    Ron raised his eyebrow at me, as if to motion that I should elaborate more.

    "I have a..." I stopped again trying to think of how to refer to Mac, "I have a partner."

    "Ooh who is it?" Ron pushed a little farther.

    "I cannot say," I admitted.

    Ron decided to drop the question and open up a new wound, "Do you have any exes-"

    "I think that is enough for today," mom intervened, "Everyone say bye to Cobalt."

    Yes, please, get me off of this show, I thought in my head.

    Ron squinted his eyes at me in disdain and announced that the show would be going on commercial.

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...
