wander ~ Chapter 1
After a while, Monday mornings all start to blend together. You're at school, you're there, but you're not really _there_. Left your mind and most of your consciousness back at home underneath warm blankets; I know that I've fallen asleep on the bus...
A Taste of Something Else ~ Chapter 1
I'm not quite sure what it is about history class that's just so good at boring me. The schedule shows this week as being entirely review for the exam coming up next Monday - so what does the professor do? He flips back in his notes and starts over...
Heart of the Forest ~ Chapter 1
_Day 1_ _Afternoon_ _ _ _Things here are exactly as I remember them, yet at the same time none of it feels familiar. It looks the same, it feels the same, it smells the same, but it's still completely different. Something here has changed, but...
wander ~ Chapter 2
Being Monday, though, the course of the day and my mind inevitably shifted to other things. First period I was a teacher's assistant for a German class, one I'd taken the past couple years in high school but had opted out of this year - which inspired...
wander ~ Chapter 9
I'll be honest, I don't know what I was expecting to see from Tony's mom, but the woman who opened the door... well, she didn't line up with those expectations. Not _entirely_, at least. Maybe it was just my overimaginative mind thinking about what,...
wander ~ Chapter 8
Noise! Good _God_, the _noise_ of this place... I guess it'd been a while since I'd last found my way to the mall on the weekend. Since my ex and I broke up last year, I never really went anywhere other than to work if I had a job at the time, or to...
wander ~ Chapter 3
"Matt..." The cheetah's amber-orange eyes unfocused as he said my name, as if he were tasting the word. For the life of me, I could _not_ figure out his accent. "That's a good name. Short for... Matthias?" "Matthew, actually." I reached down into...
wander ~ Chapter 14
You ever have a thought so persistent that no matter what you do, you can't really ever get rid of it? Following my conversation with Sandra and Lexi, that was what happened to me. Same thoughts as had been hounding me the entire weekend, and that...
wander ~ Chapter 5
"So what've you got next?" I had to raise my voice a bit for Tony to be able to hear me, beneath the common noise and bustle that always rumbled in the hallways during passing periods. I'd had to call his name once the class got out, since I guess...
4-4-25 [Sketch]
Lukas squirmed where he sat, one paw pressed against his muzzle to stifle any of his repeated little huffs and moans, the other reaching out to the side to prop the otter up along the bench. Kopa leaned in beside him, using the angle to seem as...
wander ~ Chapter 30
To everyone's surprise the final month of school zipped right on by. Prom weekend felt like it was actually just eight or nine hours trying to get by on getting called 'a full weekend', especially when I spent most of those hours either in Tony's arms,...
wander ~ Chapter 4
Amber eyes, looking bright of their own rather than by reflecting the cold glow from the lights overhead... Tony looked like he slept well. Better than myself, at least, and better than Tyler behind me, who I think hadn't yet noticed the cheetah's...
