My eyes open slowly I look at the time 6:30. I get up and jump into a warm shower and then change into a blue shirt and shorts. I then go downstairs and grab an apple and take a large bite of it. I grab my bag and my mini sketch book to take to school, and then my phone goes off.

A- Ace you excited for school I am

V- idk how you can be excited for school Ashley

A- it is because I love math

V- whatever you say see you at school

A- see ya

I grab my charger and put it in my bag. I step into the living room to see my brother watching TV.

"Hey we have school you know." I say to him as he just sighs.

"Fine," He grabs his bag and car keys, "Let's get going then."

We walk to his car and I get in and put in my music. My music mainly consists of musicals and other things. I hum to the song 'One of Us' by ABBA. My brother glances at me nervously he knows I get bullied for being an odd one out, but he worries about me in is own right I guess. When he pulls into a parking spot and parks I jump out of the car and grab my bag and walk into the school. My already know that i go by Ace for personal reasons all the staff do thank the lord. I head to my first class Choir and go to the choir room and sit in the corner and start to sketch. I spend some time drawing when Skull comes up to me and sits next to me. I took out my headphones and turn off my music.

"Hi Skull, how was your summer." I say putting my sketch book and phone away.

"So Ace you ever going to fine that special person?" She says smiling innocently.

"You know that I am not really interested in that stuff." I put my head in my paws.

"I just want you to be happy you look sad Ace." Skull said with a worried look.

"If I told you, Ashley and Skull the dynamic duo, would just find the fur and try and get us together." I say to Skull thinking of the fur I saw the other day they were a bobcat wolf mix with golden fur and some white areas with some green spots. I wish I knew their name and gender.

"Tell meeeee pleeeeeeeaaaase." She says putting her head on my lap.

"No Skull." I say to her with a blank face.

"Awwwww come on." Skull says sitting up.

I stand up and walk over to the piano and played some notes. The choir teacher was nice she let us play the piano if we wanted to before class we called her OJ. She didn't seem to mind the nickname, but I just play the piano. The final product is a rag style tune while Skull watches me. After a few minutes a few people walk in and I slowly finish the tune as Ashley walks in. The people there just talked amongst themselves and then Ashley comes up to me.

"Hi Ace good morning." Ashley says energetically.

"Ace likes someone Ashley, but he won't tell me." Skull tells Ashley.

"And you didn't tell my Ace." Ashley says giving me a look of really dude.

"I don't even know them fully they moved during the summer into th-." I cover my mouth quickly realizing what I just said.

"They moved in during the summer." The both say in unison. And gave each other a devious look.

"Oh no, I am screwed." I groan.

"So Ace are they cute." Ashley says smirking.

"So what species are they." Skulls says smirking too.

"I am regretting my decisions." I say to them.

"No you don't you love us." Ashley says hugging me.

The bell rings for the few minutes between classes the tree of us get in some seats. First hour was fun I am singing Tenor II and second hour was my Chemistry class that went by quickly, but third hour was Civics a thing all Sophomores take like Chemistry. My teacher was nice allows us to do mini debates and a extra credit per semester. Next hour was lunch, but I was never hungry so I usually go to the library. I walked in and signed in and took a seat and started to read a book called 'The Company of Strangers' by Robert Wilson (A/N It is a Real book and a good one too) then I hear someone.

"Hi I am Carter." The fur says.

I look up and see it is the fur who moved in that summer with his family.

"H-h-hi I-I am A-Ace." I say putting my hand out to shake his hand.

"So I am new here and was wonderi- oh you live next to my house." He smiles.

"H-hi Carter." I shuttered and he smiles at me and sits down next to me as I mark my page.

"You seem nervous." He said looking a bit worried.

"I am n-not that s-social." I say to him.

"Oh well it is great to meet you I also wanted to know if you want to play chess." He says pointing at the chess board.

"S-sure C-Carter." I say getting up and moving over to the chess board area.

We play chess and I am thinking about Carter he makes me feel something that I cannot explain. I don't feel numb I feel different like I could just burst of happiness. Without realizing I had done a castle with my king and rook (for those who don't understand chess just know it is a type of move) and Carter moves his pawn and I put him in checkmate. He looked at me with surprise and then the bell rang.

"Bye Ace see you later." He smiles at me.

"B-Bye Carter s-same too you." I smile back at him.

Then I head to my next class Graphic Design.

You know I like my ideas in all but jeez the chapters get weirder to me. Kias/Fire
