Why Change? (Straight furry story)

6. After School

After the visit to Mr Yorks office I walked back to class and the bell went. I hurried to the class to see it was locked, damn,  all my stuff was in my satchel, except my phone, I pull it out and called the school office, "hello, you have reached the school, but its after hours, call bac-" I hung up. this could be worse, I could have been stuck outside without my phone, but my charger was in there, so it won't be to helpful running on the battery that I had. Then I heard heavy breathing from behind me. It was Vexera, her ears were back and she was panting, "I was... looking for you... to give you... this" she holds up my satchel, "... you got it. Thanks. Thanks. THANKS, I could just kiss you ri...gh...t. Sorry... um... yeah" I said, "here" she said, I said "thanks". "here, I want you to have this." she handed me a picture of me, that she drew and there was a note at the bottom, by #12050510, but before I could ask her what it was, she was gone. Then I realised that I needed to pick up my brother.

I ran as fast as I can to the primary school so that I didn't have to see him just outside the gates and whenever I am late, he makes fun of me. I got to the gates and saw him. We walked home in silence and when we got home I put the picture on the fridge so I could ponder what it is. I went to my room and put my phone on charge. There are 3 hours until 6, so in that time I sew on the button that fell off last night which took an hour to do, and so I had two hours until dinner so I decide to put the bolognaise on and the pasta. I now have time to study the number, I take it off the fridge and then my brother runs past me and grabbed the picture,  he gets into his room and locks his door. I hear laughing just a bit later "who gave you their number!?" and I said "what? how do you know its a number?" then he burst into hysterics and managed to say "who ever... made this paid very close attention. I think they think that you are... nice" I then ran straight to my room and grabbed my phone and yelled to him "what does the number say?" he then yelled "1-2-0-5...0-5...1-0" I typed the numbers in as he said them and hit dial. The little ringing sound came up and I was quickly greeted by Vex "Hi Carl, I was wondering... if... you could come over" I answered with "I would love to, but I have to look after my little brother, and I have already put dinner on. Sorry" she then asked, "when are you free?" and I said "well, my Parents are never home." then she asked "why?" then I said "do you know how I was talking about Fate?" she said "yeah" and then I said " nine years ago, my parents were down at Hobart having lunch and a man with a gun shot them, 3000 rounds were expended that afternoon, 22 went to my mother and 45 went to my father, we never got to go to their funeral, so they left me with their house their son and their fortune". "Oh, I am so sorry to hear that." she said quietly, "well, I'll ask my mother whether the both of you can stay." then I quickly remembered that I had dinner on "wait, I'll try to free up my weekend, but for now, I still have dinner on so don't worry for now." then she hung up I called out to my brother "if you want to, you can go to your friends house this weekend. and when I am walking I will be on the other side of the road, being as inconspicuous as possible. He yelled back "sure!" and I heard the Ps 4 start up so he could ask whether he could come over.
