The Boy Behind the Glare

Bonnie was your average pretty teenager. She had friends galore, enough money to get her into a private college and a family that loved her to bits. Her father ran a vetenary centre for abandoned animals and Bonnie helped out every morning and evening, getting the sick pets their grub. Her friends would say the centre ran her life - she hardly ever hung out with her closest friends, never mind the slightly more distant ones. Yet, she wouldn't have it any other way. Bonnie would rather help a dog walk again after having a leg amputated than stroll the high street, spending her hard earned money.

That was until Hunter moved to the city.

Hunter had had an unstable life ever since he could remember. His father travelled a lot for work and Hunter followed, experiencing a incredible range of environments. From jungles to the busiest cities, he was used to them all but the travelling had gave him a wild streak and a love for all animals. The animals loved him too but the same couldn't be said for people. People tend to be scared of Hunter before they even knew him as his eyes had a natural glare which he couldn't get rid of. In all of his travels, Hunter hadn't made a single human friend. When he was little the other kids would cry when he approached them and now, teenages seemed to just avoid him and not make eye contact.

But when Bonnie makes an attempt to befriend him she realises he's not scary at all, he's actually a sweet little kid at heart.
