A Paw Behind You

A New Semester, A New Start

After a long journey on that god-forbid stink of a bus and a few mild to heavy headaches, I had finally reach the Wyerside County bus stop that I had honestly been relieved to reach. I swear, if I had to sit another long-winded hour in that run-down bus, I might as well walked (although I really don't want to). Anyhow, I quickly adjusted my messy white fur on my head and grabbed my luggage and backpack away to the exit of the bus station.

As soon as I stepped foot on the stone pavements outside, a tugging wind suddenly picked up which threatened to mess up both my adjusted fur again. Ignoring the strong wind, I continued on the pedestrian lane which made me suddenly thought of something.

I don't actually know where I am going.

Slightly panicking (sorry, FULL ON PANICKING), I quickly took out my phone and scrolled around Furgle Maps. It was weird, as search results weren't really showing anything about this mysterious. If the surrounding run-down buildings of seemingly emptiness and boarded-up windows weren't creepy enough, this was definitely a bit scary.

"YEOOOOOWWWWW"

I shouted like a mountain goat on Mount Tailerest as a scalding hot item practically gave me a heart attack from the back, even nearly dropping my phone onto the hard pavement. And looking back, a glance of reddish-orange fur was immediate to tell me it was a red fox.

"Whoops. Didn't think you would be that shocked."

In front of me, was a tall, red-furred fox wearing barely anything but just he's olive-green boxers and half-transparent white tank top. This guy's hair, was in an almost evil crimson mess, his pointy brown-patched ears were pretty messy . And of course, a wide, cheeky smile stretched across his half red half white face with a clearly smoking cup of hot coffee in his paws.

"What in the world is wrong with you!?" I helplessly shouted with annoyance.

"The world needed some energy, so I had to energize it. You know, coffee equals energy."

"Your puns, are the worse. Keep it, and never speak another pun ever again." I retaliated sharply.

"Gosh, you people need to humor up a bit, ya' know. Anyway, what is your name?" the foxy guy asked.

"Umm... I-it's Sky. Sky Flair." I couldn't help but cringe slightly to my last name.

"Well, Aiden Jackson, at your service," we both shook hands, my paw immediately covered by his, "So Sky, what brings you here?"

"Well..." I recollected my memories a while, "I was walking towards... Veligear High."

"Veligear High? Hmm... may I ask why you're going there?" Aiden asked curiously with narrowing eyes.

"Um... I'm not even sure..."

My memories were pretty jumbled up from the trip here, although now that I think about it, that was the most dumbest response I had ever given. *Sigh* Being stuck in a vehicle for long periods of time, and getting stuck in a reformation institution does that to you I guess, along with family problems.

About that 'reformation institution' and 'family problems' thingy... I would rather not talk about it here. Just... forget that I said anything!

Suddenly, being stuck in my messy thoughts, I noticed the orange-furred fox walking leisurely straight ahead...

"Well, are you coming or not?" exclaimed loudly by the no-shame fox.

"I'm coming, I'm coming."

And with that, I silently followed an unknown friend as he was whistling what I heard to be... Disney songs!? I feel like I'm gonna faint from this experience.
