Math Class #2
After a few days of light snow, it began to rain. The town quickly descended into an ugly hash of brown slush and bare trees. I'l begrudgingly admit that I began to enjoy math class. Mainly because of my and Jack's shared hate of numbers. If there's...
Math Class #4
It's Monday. Enough said. * * * I met Jack at the bus stop again today. "Hey, how are you?" I asked him. "I'm alright!" He said, sincerely. "But I wish it would snow already." He looked up at the sky and made an (adorable) whimper. I nodded. I...
Math Class #3
I guess I've always felt really alone... It's not that I haven't had friends; I have. It's just that I've never had a 'best friend'. I've certainly had friends that I preferred over other friends, it's just that I've never considered any of them to...

The Mute - Chapter 4: A Walk in the Park
I woke up with Kyle's image in my mind, as I slowly remembered last night's dream. _"I love you"_ Pangs of longing hit my chest, "No, I don't want this to happen," I thought "Please, Kyle is my only friend, what if he gets angry at me and tells...
The Mute - Chapter 3: Three Years Later

The Mute - Chapter 2: Kyle's House
Before we go on, I feel like I should tell you a bit about myself. I'm a wolf with mid-long fur. I stand about 5'6" now, but in fifth grade I was only 4'7", I'm pretty short, especially for a wolf, even Kyle is taller than me. That, combined with the...
