A Howl In The Night, Chapter 2.
Haha thanks for staying with me, it means a lot to me ^_^
Well it's finally here! Sorry it took so long :/ But it's finally here. Enjoy!
"Fuck!" I yelled. I looked over at my alarm clock, it didn't go off. Just my luck. It was 7:50 and school started at 8. I would literally have to run on all fours to make it to school on time. I ran into the bathroom, almost tripping on my dirty clothes and having my face meet the ground. 'Calm down' I thought. I walked back to my room after brushing my fur down and, uh, doing some business. I grabbed the cleanest looking shirt and pants off my floor, grabbed my backpack, and busted out the door. Dammit, I'm not going to make it on time,' I thought to myself, right before sprinting full speed towards the school. Wolfview High.
I arrived about halfway through my first period. I was trying to decide if I should go to English or not, eh why not; maybe we would actually learn something today. I fumbled into class still half asleep. My teacher gave me a disgruntled look and went back to teaching.
I sat down next to my friend Bernie. We've been friends since middle school, but we never hung out or talked much. Bernie was definitely not the greatest looking guy in school; his fur was always messy and it was grayish black instead of black and white, the usual. His shirt was wrinkled with a small stain, kind of everywhere. Honestly I doubted that he ever had a girlfriend. I'm not saying that I was a player! I just had a, uh, wider variety to choose from. "Why hello their sleepy head," Bernie said. I gave him a look that simply said shut up.
"Hey it's just English, I already know how to speak it and that's all I need to know," I said jokingly. He glared at me in disgust; he didn't like it when I joked about school, seeing how he's gotten straight A's ever since he was a cub. Ding.
Finally, it was sixth period. I fell asleep in pretty much all of my classes, just to make sixth period come faster. I didn't see Mikey at lunch; that worried me. I prayed I didn't ruin our friendship. I prayed I didn't lose my lover. When I walked into the locker room, I didn't see Mikey anywhere. I searched the entire room inside-out. Nothing.
I made my way into the swimming pool room. As expected, he wasn't there either. I started getting really worried and began started to panic. I walked outside to see if he was going to show up to class late.
When I got outside, I noticed two figures off in the distance. The blaring sun was a difficult environment to make out the images. One of the creatures had a long fluffy tail. It was blowing in the wind like weightless feathers. Mikey
Me of all people would never mistake that tail. I stared at it many times as he walked away from me. The figure next to him I was not as familiar with. This tail was fluffy, but not nearly as gorgeous. I stepped forward towards Mikey. The closer I got, the more I could make out the faces. He was with a girl that I'd never seen before. I watched and waited. I waited to see if he'd turn around, to see if he would be happy to know I found him. His shoulders turned, his neck shifted, and without any hesitation, he kissed her.
