Forest City Book 5 Chapter 2 -Permissible Graffiti-

-

    "Mac it's time to get ready for school!" mom yelled from downstairs.

    I glanced at the clock. It was 7:10 in the morning; the early sunlight was seeping in through my window. It appeared as fire-like and reminded me of amber. I then stared at the cold harsh building in front of my window. Cobalt's light was out in his room and it looked as if his room had begun to be cleared out of his belongings.

    I grabbed Clove's diary which I had left open on my desk, the last entry I had read had gone over Clove's 15th birthday and how it was a surprise that mom and dad had gotten her a cellphone for the first time. Oh how I remember the old slide phone.

     I grabbed my backpack and threw it on a plush, lily-green chair in the corner of my room next to the bench under the window. I grabbed a t-shirt from my closet and a pair of jeans.

    After getting ready for the first day back to school from break, I made my way down the stairs and bumped into my dad in the hallway.

    "Hey kiddo, you ready for the first day back?" Dad began.

    "Yeah, I just hope that everything goes back to normal," I replied.

    "I'm sure it will and I hope you know that your mom is sorry for yelling at the party," Dad continued.

    "Yeah," I replied with a sigh, "it isn't how I wanted it to go about." I passed Dad and made my way to the kitchen.

    Aunt Hazel was drinking what appeared to be some sort of tea, she had an empty plate with some crumbs left on the plate. Hazel nodded at me and continued to sip her tea.

    I grabbed a bagel for breakfast and sat down across from Hazel. My phone buzzed and I glanced at it. A text from Cobalt showed up on my lock screen. I opened the notification and there was a picture of Cobalt making a face and his paws making a peace sign. Behind him was a large graffiti of his name in a blue gradient with a yellow border surrounding the bubble letters.

    Mac 7:35: Are you even allowed to do that?

    Cobalt 7:35: Sort of, I kind of have permission to make this.

    Mac 7:37: What's it for?

    Cobalt 7:37: Art class.

    Mac 7:38: Like a final?

    Cobalt 7:38: Sure. I gotta go now, school and all.

    Mac 7:39: Speaking of which, I gotta go too! See you there.

    Cobalt 7:41: <3

    I put my phone in my backpack and smiled. Everything seemed to be going so well, what could possibly go wrong today. Nothing hopefully...

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...
