- Ocean -
Walking through the school hall, I stare at the walls. The weird circle shapes of the different sections still draws my eyes to them, even after I've been going to the school for a while.
My distraction from walking makes me stop. The crowds of students bustling past shove me - as they hurry to their classes - toppling me over.
"You okay there, Ocean?" asks Esemais, appearing in my field of vision.
"Yea, I'm okay," I say as she grabs my right wing with hers and helps me up. "Thanks."
"No problem, what were you doing standing still, anyhow?"
"Just examining the walls," I reply.
Together, we walk towards our first hour.
"So..." says Esemais, "could I come over to your house after school?"
"Why? Did your mom say you could?"
She blushes and looks down at her paws, "Yeah... Um... I just... want to get to... know you better... that's all..."
This time, it's my turn to look at my paws. "You could come over... if you want."
"Don't you need to ask your mom?"
"No."
"Really? Your mom is awesome! I have to let my mom know where I am 24 7. It's Frustrating!"
"My mom? Awesome? No, she hates me."
"Don't say that, she must love you! She's your mom, loving you is what moms are for."
"Not my mom," I reply.
