New Places and New Faces, Chapter one
A short exerpt on my fursona Alain.
My life is just like any other furs. It's hard for me to make new friends because I don't like to talk to people unless I know them which is a bad loop I know. My mother always said to not trust anybody I don't know. The only friends I can make are the ones brave enough to actually talk to me, I mean I wouldn't want to talk to a 6' 3" guy who just sits there with a frown all day and who keeps to himself. This kind of look does good to attract the ladies, but I am not really looking to date.
Today was like any other day for a 17 year old dragon in high school. I suck at all language classes because I don't like to talk. I do love my science classes though and math. I love machines and am always curious about how they work. Sometimes I will take something apart and put it back together. I'm average at history and excel at P.E.. I hate to watch sports but love to play them but do to my not liking to talk to people I never joined the school teams.
"Excuse me mister Alain but would you mind waking up and answering the question," the teacher put me in the spotlight again to try and get me out of my shell.
"y=4x-3," I answered.
"That is correct. Now everyone remember we have a three day weekend so I don't want to see you Monday,"
The bell rang and all the students rushed to get to their friends houses to enjoy the weekend. I took my time, no rush to enjoy three days all alone. As I slowly trudged my way home I began daydreaming as I always do when I'm bored. 'I wonder if I could make a machine that could defy gravity then it would reduce the amount of car accidents and reduce air pollution and help with space travel and reduce costs to cargo transportation. But what could I use to make such a device. Maybe if I-,' my thought was cut off when I realized I was at my house. A simple three bed room, two bath room, house to fit me and my parents. My dad did try to spend some cuality time together but that's only once in a while. My mom passed away some time ago. She did give me a lot of wisdom before she died. She told me to never think about the past too much because that would only bring sorrow. I follow this advice every day because that was the most painful day of my life.
As I walked in the door I wondered when my dad would be home from work. I did look up to my father because he is a very strong fire dragon. The luster of his scales rival that of a ruby. The luster of my mother's scales rivaled that of a sapphire with a deep shade of blue. She was a very beautiful ice dragoness. I don't really know how my scales turned out to be emerald green but I don't really have any complaints. I like who I am and try not to care about what other people think of me. I do have a special gift, I have an empathy link with anyone I am near which means I know how they feel weather it be happy or sad. This has its ups and downs of course, with every strength there comes a weakness I suppose.
I would like to try and make some new friends but my shyness always gets the better of me and I give up. I would like to be known for who I am and not what I look like. Anyways, I always ramble on like that, I went to my room and got comfortable and read my book that I've been currently working on. After reading for hours I gradually fell asleep. I hope something exciting happens tomorrow.
I think this might be a little too angsty for my tastes but I promise that it will get hopefully better.lots of gramar mistakes too.
