Forest City Book 5 Chapter 5 -Old Paintings-

-

    As Monty and I were walking to Botany class, I just had to ask more about the issue. He had his beak stuck in Clove's journal.

    "It seems like your sister really likes to draw and paint, she possibly could have been one of my mom's students or volunteers," Monty began.

    I was a little more interested in the Tora issue, so I asked, "What...uh...happened with Tora exactly?"

    Monty's feathers fluffed up, he seemed to be irritated that, now, I was asking. He quietly closed the journal and glanced around the crowded hallway, his feathers flattening down under his sweater collar. Monty continued, "I'll check out some of my mom's old art from the studio, sometimes students would leave artwork behind or give her paintings and sculptures."

    We made our way into the Botany classroom. Before school, Monty had dropped off our flowers, so that we didn't have to lug them around all day. We sat down at our desk and Monty was back to staring at the journal again.

Diary entry: 9/13/14

    I'm really enjoying this art club, everyone in it is so creative, diverse, and unique! I've made and helped out with so many paintings and sculptures. I'm super excited for what we are going to be doing next Saturday! The mural we finished two weeks ago has had many compliments and I was asked to design flyers for next Saturday's project!

    Safiya and I went on a date to the Cocobean after art club! It was super fun and I started working on a new painting, a gift for the teacher.

    Sorry for such a short journal entry, I hope to write more soon!!! Forest City has been so much fun!

    "Mac, your sister mentioned something about a painting for the teacher," Monty began while he walked over to our flowers that had been placed on one of the counters,"I think that it may have been for my mom, but I'm not sure which one it could have been."

    "Maybe we can dig through some old paintings at the studio and find some of Clove's other paintings," I suggested.

    "Then we can match them to a painting that could have been a gift for my mom," Monty continued, "Or at least find Clove's signature...but some of the paintings were moved into our attic and I'm not sure if my dad has cleared them out or not."

    "Just keep me updated on the progress," I replied, "We have all the time in the world."

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...
