One Last Chance (Furry) (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 4: Distances

Dream 2 - Memories

"Hello?.." I ask, seeing the screen change from 'Ringing' to a counter. The Skype ring tone stopping and greeting of background noise tells me he's answered.

"Hello~" I hear him say softly, making me feel warm already.

"How was your day?" He asks while fiddling with his head phones.

"It was good.. work sucked.. how was your day?" I sigh.

"Aww... it was decent.. I want to switch out of my college algebra class, but I think I need the credit for college." he sighs as well.

"Well, go to your guidance counselors and talk to them about the class.. you don't want to waste your time in a class that won't benefit you." I say, staring at his Skype profile picture.

"Yeah.. I guess. I'm trying to get my GPA up to a 3.5 at least. I'm thinking about retaking my ACTs."

"You'll get into a good state college with that GPA. If you scored good on the ACT, there's no need, hun."

"I just want to get a better score, really." He sighed.

"Well good luck to you on that.. I remember when I was a senior, they tried to force us to do the ACTs and SATs. I already took the ASVAB when I was a junior and enlisted."

"Well I'm not looking to join the Infantry, Shadow." He said blatantly.

"I'm not saying that, I just took the ASVAB instead which can be used for college. I just went to a different route first.. didn't quite workout.." I sigh.

A moment of silence rolls in and I put down my PS4 Controller. Just pondering about the incident that occurred while in the Army, causing my inevitable discharge.

"..Shadow?..." I hear Boops ask.

"Yeah?.."

"Do you think.. that was a sign?.. another chance at life?"

I pause for a brief moment and smile a little.

"I think so... In a way, I'm glad it happened. Or else I wouldn't be talking to you and us wouldn't have been a thing.." I say, happily trying to warm the mood.

"Oh shush.."
