Sora: Thoughts
The Sun was settling down below the horizon and the chilling wind started to seep into my bones. Walking home from school today was the weirdest thing I've had to face in my life. I kept thinking to myself it was just a random thought, I just turned my head around at the wrong time, right? I couldn't shake the thought. Why was I so turned on when I looked at him? I'm supposed to like girls not guys! "Damn it! Why, why now? Why do I find guys are more attractive than girls?" I walked the rest of the way home in confusion and sorrow, with thoughts of my parent's disapproval or hatred.
The grief and confusion seemed to last forever but before I knew it I was at the doorstep of my house. I couldn't move, it felt as if time had stopped. I looked to the drive way and saw my Mom's car. I nervously gripped the door handle and slowly twisted the knob. As the door ominously pushed forward I got goose bumps. I walked in and looked around. She must be in the laundry room. I quickly shut the door with stealth and darted for my room. The door slammed behind me and I knew that I could never be ninja because of how loud I was.
"Sora, Sora! Was that you?" Sora's Mom shouted.
"Ya' Mom, that was me!" I hollered back.
"Well where are you? And don't slam your door anymore it scared the life out of me!" She said as she wondered to my door. She opened it to find me lying on my bed with a pillow over my face. "What's wrong honey? Did something at school happen? Are those boys picking on you again?"
"No Mom I'm just tired, ok?" I was really trying to get her to leave me alone. I just needed some time to think about what happened today.
"Well alright, but you need to stop staying up all night. Anyway dinner will be done in hour so you'll need to leave your den my little fox." She laughed as she walked out the door way. Unlike most foxes I was a mixed between a Shiba Inu and a Fox. I have a little bit more rounded ears and my muzzle isn't as long. I have a long curly tail that every one likes to mess with. I have reddish sandy colour that covers up most of my body. Every where except the end of my tail, which is white. Every morning when I get out of the shower and eat my cereal my Mom always tells me how beautiful my eyes are. She says she is jealous and wants my perfect green eyes. It's a little joke she pulls on me, and it actually makes me feel a little better.
The rest of the night I eat dinner with my Mom and Dad. My Dad was going on about how people at his work constantly nag about what they have to do. Mom tells her story about how we're not putting the clothes in the right colour piles. Then they turn to me and ask how my day was. I just froze and stared back at them. My Dad looked confused and my Mom was very concerned. "Oh, um? My day went well...I guess. Just the usual with grades and girls! Y'know same old same old." I was totally bluffing but there was no way I could tell them that I was attracted to guys.
"He's getting picked on again you have to be!" My Mom was determined to get to the bottom on how I was acting. "I mean there is no way that my son is going to get picked on again because of his tail!" She was being very persistent. "I'm going to march right into that school and give them a piece of my mind!" I was, at this point, freaking out! I knew this wasn't going to end well.
"Linda how about you relax, you're being to rash about this. How about we just talk to Sora instead of embarrassing him for possibly nothing?" My Dad stepped in at this point. He was where, to him, I got my charming looks. My Dad was a very fit Shiba. He had golden sandy fur covering him from head to toe. My Dad had dull green eyes, but they could stare into your very soul if you were in trouble. My Mom on the other hand had no muscle but she was not a skinny sly fox like most vixens. She has a burgundy red coat that covered her body. Her hands up to her elbows were black like she was wearing long gloves, same with her feet to her knees.
"So Sora are you getting bullied at school? You can tell me, I won't go crazy like your Mom here." My Dad was being very sensitive, which I appreciate very much. "No Dad, I just got distracted when you asked me how school was." I thought that was a pretty good excuse. "See Linda there you go."
"Mhmm...Alright but if anything is bothering you let me know okay?"We continued eating and I went to my room when we got done. I plopped right on my bed and passed out.
