My Bunny Boy

Chapter 1: Sam: She's Just Like You

  Beep. Beep.

  I heard my alarm clock go off and I opened my eyes. Then I walked into the living room after I got off my bed. Taurtis was sitting on the one chair we had left, facing the wall.

"Taurtis," I said. He turned around. "Are you ready for school?"

"Yeah," Taurtis said, turning around. "Are you? Yuki threatened you big time yesterday. Are you still going to go to school?"

"Of course," I said in my sarcastic-ish voice. "I don't listen to threats. Pfft! I went to jail, Taurtis. I'm in the Snugglemuffin gang!"

"Well," Taurtis said in a slightly sadder voice. "I'm in it too."

"Yeah, but you're not like me. I've been to jail," I repeated.

"Yeah, I guess so." Taurtis looked down in shame.

I sighed. "Come on, Taurtis. We need to go."

Me and Taurtis, after finally getting out of our apartment building, headed to the local store. Pepe, a fellow student and a talking frog, was unusually happy and was walking around inside the store. Usually, he was forced to stay outside by a shop worker, PufferFishPete, who didn't like him at all. But now, since Pepe had proposed to his daughter, PufferFish Patty, he had to be allowed inside the store. He was even holding hands with Patty, and Pete couldn't do anything about it.

"Taurtis, Taurtis, bro, look," I whispered to Taurtis. "Pepe and Patty are holding hands. And Pepe's inside the store!"

"Dude," Taurtis whispered back. "Pepe's got game with that fedora. I can't believe he proposed to Patty at prom last night."

"I know right? Pepe's got so much game."

We got a few snacks from the store, then walked to the place across from the train station, where we got our tickets.

"Can you get me one, Sam?" Taurtis pleaded. "Please?" I looked at him with an annoyed face, and he made one of those puppy dog looks.

"Ugh, fine," I said, putting some more money into the machine. The ticket popped out, Taurtis took it, then ran off.

Once we were on the train I actually didn't go to sleep like I usually did. Instead, I stared out the window thinking about SirCutieYuki. She was supposed to be me and Taurtis' date to prom, but then another girl, Chan Yandere, had been left crying because her "date", our friend Grian, wasn't there because he went back to England, so Taurtis decided to make her his new date. I dumped Yuki for us, and she got really mad at me and pulled out a knife. I didn't really like her though. I only wanted her because Taurtis had her, and I wanted to make him mad. Then, at the after party at Sookie Yaki's house, she went beserk and ran around the house with the knife shouting, "WHERE IS SAM? I SAID WHERE IS HE!" I broke the upstairs window and ran for my life. Then we stayed at Chan's house until the middle of the night, when we walked back to our apartment.

As I looked into the window's glass I saw my reflection. I felt my bunny ears. Since I was part rabbit, I made a hat with two holes cut out of it that, when I put it on, made my ears look like part of the hat. As far as I knew, only Taurtis and Pepe knew they were actually my ears.

Me and Taurtis arrived at school before the bell rang, for once. We were usually late, but for some reason things were changing in our town.

We took our seats and our teacher, Mrs. Okami Artist, called role.

"Hidden?" she called.

"Here."
