Diary entry: 12/19/06

    Mac's fourth birthday was today, I'm so glad my little sister is growing up, maybe she is growing up too quickly. I hope that she enjoys all of her presents and especially loves the crayons I got her. I like when she draws things because, while they may not be great and mostly are a bunch of scribbles, I really appreciate all of her drawings.

    The other day she drew me a picture of a tree that was being destroyed by one of the tractors on the farm. It was a very horrific sight to see in real life (mostly because dad almost hit the car with the tractor). I enjoy Mac's drawings though, I really do. This tree drawing is a funny little reminder for me that dad shouldn't be trusted with a tractor near a car and a tree.

    Mom made sure to put the date that Mac drew the tree in the bottom right corner. She told us this evening some interesting news-

    -"Clove, Chester, Macadamia, come downstairs, your mother and I have a surprise," Dad called for us.

    Chester followed me as we walked down the hallway and headed towards the stairs. The light wooden, paneled walls had many pictures of family members littered across the walls. Most notably was the pictures we took every year of our household; we always took the pictures on July 20th and I don't think that Mom and Dad were planning on stopping the tradition. The worst part was the clothes they forced us to wear, I was always found in a pink lacy, Sunday dress and most definitely looking pouty.

    As we made our way down the old wooden stairs, I noticed Dad had Mac in his arms and she was giggling because Dad had got her nose. I sat down at the kitchen table, which was also wooden, and waited for Mom's announcement. She had gotten out a baby bottle, a blanket, and some baby toys.

    Chester groaned, "Not another one."

    "Well, it's a little more complicated than that," Mom began, "You see..."

    "Twins!" I practically yelled.

    "Yes, twins," Mom also groaned, "I was hoping that you would have let me finish my sentence dear."

    "Oh she's just excited," Dad reassured Mom, "Aren't ya' Clove?"

    "I'm more than excited! I am... uh... is there a better word than excited?" I asked.

    "You're ecstatic?" Mom corrected me.

    "More Sibbings?" Mac questioned, then giggled.

    Dad smiled in reply. Mom just sighed.

    -So I guess we are getting new siblings now. I can't wait to meet them. I remember how excited I was to meet Mac. I just hope that she enjoys having siblings just like me.

    Sincerely,

    Clove Summerwood

    "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...
