UNKNOWN (furry)

The sky was cloudy and cold, the air was crisp and cool. Leaves with different shades of red scattered around the pavement. September was just nearly gone.

My journey to the bus stop was definitely not long. It takes me about 7-9 minutes to get there. I sat down on the sidewalk and listened to some music on my iPawd.

Then a pair of hands shook me violently "I'M GOING TO GET YOU, ZACK!!!" I heard my best friend, Lola shout. With the sudden shaking and the sudden shout, I yelped out in surprise. "Damn it, Lola! Can't you do anything other than scare the hell out of me?" I asked, catching my breath. She twirled around in her lolita dress and giggled "But it's Sooo much fun, Zack-Kun!" What can I say? Even a gay guy can melt under that cute face.

"Alright, I'm forgiving you this once."

"Heehee! That's what you said last time!"

I groaned, and waited for the bus. Then some strange guy was waiting beside us. He wore a grey t-shirt with the anarchy symbol, Miku arm warmers, a pair of hot pants, mismatched socks, red sneakers, piercings decorated his ears, eyebrow and lip. His hair was black which was white, like his fur in the back (Which was tied in a LARGE ponytail with a big silk bow. He stood there, looking at nothing with his purple sparkly eyes.

"Uh... Hi. Are you new to our school?" I asked. He didn't look at us, but his ear turned in our direction, indicating he was listening. "Yes... Is this the bus to Columnanthro high?" he asked in a sort of monotone voice. I nodded. "Are you a gay uke?" Lola asked. There was a moment of awkward silence.

"LOLA,AREYOUCRAZY?QUITASKINGSUCHRANDOMQUESTIONSABOUTNEWSTUDENTS!" I yelled.

"Yes. I am, thank you for being inquisitive." he said, still monotone.

I just stood there, blushing half from the awkwardness of the situation, and half from how cute I realized he looked.

The bus came, and we climbed on reluctantly. I ended up being squished between the new guy and Lola, who were talking GIRL talk. I don't do girl talk! Mostly because I'm a guy, and that I wouldn't understand bras and menstruation! But endured it, I did. And in no time, Columnanthro high was here.

I felt a little sorry for the new guy. You see. I'm gay and I prefer to keep a VERY low profile on my sexuality. And god knows what horrible fate would be in store for me if anyone finds out. Other than Lola and the newbie.

I got off the bus with great enthusiasm. I couldn't take the girl talk any longer. I ran over to the nearest tree to climb up in and  get the thought of tampons out of my head.

Suddenly I heard a groan of pain. I looked down from my branch and saw some mouse getting bullied by a large beagle. "P-Please. Just leave me alone." he said. The beagle growled and lifted up a fist to pummel the poor mouse.

Before I could do anything, a large cinder block flew right into the beagles face, and a loud CRACK was heard. Then the person who threw the concrete block stepped over to the beagle.

'It... It was the newbie?' I thought. He gripped the beagle's ears and yanked his head up to face him. A dangerously disappointed look was lingering on his face. "The next time you decide to crush a person's life, you should remember that someone will ALWAYS stomp you down deeper into the pile of raw shit and mucus that is your horrifyingly disgusting life. Now don't you EVER let me catch you acting like an asshole, or else I will show you what its like to be declawed," he showed the beagle his declawed paws," with tweezers, and lemon juice." he threw the beagle's head on the ground and walked into the school. I climbed down the tree and looked at the beagle. His snout was all weird looking and bloody, and a few teeth were gone. I admit I kind of giggled. He got beat.... by a girly looking cat.

Later, I was sitting beside him in algebra. And after Mr.Doberstein solved a really long equation, he stood up. "Mr.Doberstein. That was incorrect." he said. The Doberman stood there completely confused. "Uhh, may I ask how you know this Mr..."

"Peterson. Ren Peterson. Move aside and let me solve this."

He walked up to the board and erased the board. "Ok, the first error you made is that you forgot to combine the exponents..." and then the havoc started.

One by one mistakes were being corrected, and then after filling the ENTIRE board, he fillled the last corner with the answer. "Now, tell me this, Mr.Doberstein. Exactly how did you expect for these students to learn by this stupid book?" Ren asked, holding up an algebra book.

Mr.Doberstein was in complete and utter SHOCK. Ren sat back down and read some manga. I was almost like goop. My mouth was in a complete circular O.

Later that day, I was sitting with Ren at lunch, and he was telling me about him. "I moved here a few days ago and live by myself. My parents died in a terrorist attack while shopping at the mall. I don't have any relatives, and I can't stand orphanages, so I live on my own in secret. It's not bad considering I'm good at being frugal, and pay my rent on time." He said, taking a swig of strawberry soda. "Wow. That must suck. Not having parents." I sympathized awkwardly. "It's not that bad. I get to learn to look out for myself. Hey, Zack? I'd like it if you'd come over." Ren requested. "Uhmmm ok. I'll come after school." I said.
