The Reality Chapter Eight: Sorrows of the past
Misery laid there in my arms sobbing for a good thirty minutes until she finally started to calm down. I waited just comforting her until she was ready to talk to me, she wiped her face off with her sleeves, and smiled at me.
"Thank you for much for not telling me to leave." She said sniffling.
I replied. "Don't worry about it, if I was not here for you what kind of friend would I be. So what happened that made you cry."
"Well if you did not know, I have had lots of problems in various schools and they though it would help me if I went to one that was more strict, I was always getting into fights and hurting people, and it looks like now is no different." She told me looking away from me.
I looked her in the eye. "We can get through this and I'll help you we just need to explain to your father what happened and apologize to the one you hurt and everything will be fine."
She shook her head and replied. "No it wont be this was my last chance to live a normal life and I had messed it up, the only place I will be going to now is locked in a juvenile detention centre away from others so I cant hurt them anymore. The only way for me to live my life is to run away, so good bye Kyoga, I hope I will see you sometime in the future."
She stood up and kissed me on the cheek and walked towards the balcony, I grabbed her sleeve and pulled her back inside. I was not just going to allow her to leave, not without her taking responsibility for what she did. I sat her down on the couch and closed the doors to the balcony, I looked at her she was looking at in awe. I had sat back down beside her.
"You can't just run away from your problems, or they will come back and haunt you, I know this from experience." I said to her.
She yelled for the first time. "So what am I supposed to do, let them take me away and have no freedom for the rest of my youth!"
"No! You apologize and try to fix what you did wrong this world needs people who will be there and help one another and try to fix where they went wrong the first time, if no one does that then how can the world progress!" I yelled back at her tears coming to my eyes.
"Kyoga, what you have said to be today makes me wonder how can someone so young understand what needs to be done, and exactly how to fix everything that has gone wrong." She replied.
I looked at her and said. "I myself had made mistakes before not knowing what to do about them, but now if I could go back I know what I have to do and what my priorities should have been, feel free to sleep here tonight and tomorrow I will help you get out of this situation."
I started to walk away and I heard a soft thank you, I crawled in my bed and went to sleep, I had a lot of work to do tomorrow to get her out of this situation, but I was going to do my best in hopes that she could have a better future and help her through the rough times. Waking up the next morning I had gotten dressed and prepared myself for the discussion with the headmaster and the student Misery hurt, I looked and she was still there sleeping on the couch it was a relief that she did not leave during the middle of the night. I woke her up and we went to the headmasters office. We sat there for thirty minutes until the student she had harmed came to the office. We sat there and had talked over what had happened for about an hour. I was able to get her to apologize, which was apparently the first time she had ever done it too. She got off with just a slap on the wrist this time but next time she was going to be sent away. Me and Misery went back up to my room to find my P.E teacher Miss. Donn waiting for me, after the incident with my first P.E teacher they had replaced him with someone else.
Miss. Donn said. "Now where have you been our class should have started thirty minutes ago."
"I'm so sorry Miss. Donn I was in the Headmasters office taking care of a problem with my friend here." I said sincerely.
"Oh well I guess that is a legitimate reason, but your friend here will be joining us today she looks like she needs some exercise." Miss. Donn told us.
We went out to the field and had begun running laps, looks like today is the day of firsts because Misery was actually participating in what we were told to do. She made us do sit ups, chin ups, push ups, recalling everything we had did I laughed at the fact that almost every exercise had "up" in it. It was kind of funny now that I think of it had anyone else ever laughed at that, probably not. The workout was definitely hard and made me sweat a lot, Miss. Donn had also set up hurdles and made us run laps jumping over them. Misery seemed to be having a really easy time doing this but then again with her parkour skills, running and jumping should be easy for her. After the hurdles we were done for the day, I was sweating so much that all I could think about was a taking a shower.
"Hey Misery your actually pretty athletic." I said panting.
She replied to me. "Well this stuff comes easy to me, I have always been able to do these kinds of things no sweat."
"Yeah but I always see you just walking or not participating in the P.E activities." I said.
"Well I'm a slacker I don't do things unless I have to, and well sense I got you into trouble with your teacher I felt like I had to or I would be setting a bad example, sense you helped me out." She said bringing a smile to her face.
"Well I am going to go up to my room and have a shower." I said to her.
"Hey Kyo, are you afraid of heights, if not get on my back and hold on tight." She said to me.
I got onto her back and held on like she said. She ran at the wall directly below my balcony and jumped, kicked off the wall and grabbed a pipe, she swung her legs onto a ledge and pushed off of the pipe and grabbed onto a widow ceil, she was quickly climbing up the building like it was nothing. I could see we were about 3 feet away from the balcony and with a few more leaps and grabs we were standing on it. That was a thrill I was truthfully afraid of heights, but not if I there was something stopping me from falling but I held on for my life, I thought I was going to have a heart attack as I climbed off of her back. I looked at her face and she was smiling she really loved doing parkour by the looks of it.
I had walked into my bathroom and started up the shower, I had to say that Misery after we talked to her father had changed her personality quite a bit trying to be a good example for once. Although she still sounded like she was depressed when she talked but I believe that was just a habit for her to be that quiet all the time. I got out of the shower and dried myself off combing my hair so it would not be sticking up all over the place. I diapered myself up and got dressed and left the bathroom Misery was sitting on my couch with my acoustic guitar in her hands trying to play it, she did not know how to play though so it was kind of funny. I stood there for awhile waiting to see if she did know anything but she did not.
"would you like me to show you how to play something." I asked her.
She nodded her head and I sat down beside her and put her paws onto the correct position and showed her everywhere she needed to move her paw to after she played the note, I told her to give it a shot, she played every note but not at the right speed she gave it a few more tries and then gave up. She asked if she could use my shower because she hated public ones at the school. I nodded that she was allowed and she ran off into the shower. I walked around my room a bit just to observe everything, I had not actually went around and looked at absolutely everything in my room before, I looked in a drawer in one of the tables in my lounging room to find a few fantasy novels, pencils and a sketch book. Looked like I had other things to do in my spare time now other than play my guitars. Misery was back from taking her shower and told me she was going to go get something to eat, as she left Trast came up into my room.
"Hey lil' buddy, me and the others are going to be practicing in the music room if you want to join us." He said
I told him I would be right there he waited for me to get ready, I put on the cloak and grabbed my guitar and we left for the music room. Once we got there everyone was huddled around a table yelling at one another about how the song was not right how it did sound good. Standing there I could barely see what they had down not like it mattered though if I had an opinion they would not listen to me. I sat there and watched them play for a bit till I got bored of that, I had told them I was going to go up to my room and when I turned around Misery was standing behind me smiling. I jumped, she always did that to me she was going to give me a heart attack one of these days. We walked in silence to my room she came in and sat down with me in my lounging area. We did not talk we just sat there, I was laying down on my sofa thinking of something to talk about or something to do.
"Umm Kyoga so I was wondering if you wanted to go see a movie tomorrow or something, I'll pay for it." She said blushing.
"Sure I would love to, but you do know that your to old for me right I'm only four and your, how old?" I said to her.
"Oh yeah I know and all I just wanted to hang out and do something with you, and I'm fourteen by the way." She replied.
I looked at the time and it was almost time for me to get ready for bed it had been a long day today and I was sore, I told Misery she could stay the night if she wanted to she said she would think about it, I got up and went into my washroom and brushed my teeth. After I finished I came out of the bathroom to Misery saying she would sleep in her own room tonight and she left. I finished getting ready for bed and crawled in a about ten minutes early might as well sense I did not have any homework or anything. I laid there for about thirty minutes before I fell asleep.
I stood there in an empty field was I dreaming, I must have been, I saw Trast and Felli on the other side of the field I ran to them. Once I got there I noticed Misery hiding behind a tree, I waved over to her. The sky had started to get darker and I noticed Lex and Kiara walking towards me. I looked over to them and waved but they did not see me, no one could. I yelled at them trying to get their attention but they still did not look at me. I ran up to them and tried tapping them on the shoulder but my hand just went right through them, I went over to the others and the same thing happened. What was going on here I wondered, a large thunderclap happened and I woke up.
I was shaking it was just a dream what did it mean though my dreams always had some importance to them, but what did this one have to say. I looked over to the clock and it was 6:40, I was only going to be able to sleep for another 20 minutes so I just got out of bed and got ready instead. I got into the shower to wake myself up and I washed my whole body, my shampoo was almost gone, I went through so much of it now that I had fur all over and I had to constantly buy it. I got out and dried myself off and combed my hair, I then went to my full body mirror and started to brush my tail. I always forgot to do this and my tail fur was always knotted up because of it. It was quite hard to get some of them out but once I was done and over with my whole body looked good again, and I smelled so nice. I only put on a diaper and I went and laid on my bed getting lost in a daydream. I was snapped out of it by the kitchen staff bringing up my meal. Steak and eggs this was different, I never once had steak for breakfast before in my entire life that I could remember, I ate it anyway. It was delicious I never knew steak could be so good so early, I decided to get dressed, I put on a new pair of jeans and a new t-shirt, I had also bought a new green hoodie so I put that on too. The air outside was starting to get colder I could feel that the snow was coming soon to. I put on my cloak and left my room, there was no way that anyone would care as long as I kept my cloak on. I walked around the school a bit and a few student were walking around going to the cafeteria. There were a few cubs walking around to laughing and shoving each other a bit, one of them saw me and waved to me, I waved back of course not wanting to be rude, then the cub ran up to me.
"Hi my name is Hei what is your name?" He said really happily.
Shocked that he talked to me I replied. "Oh my name is Kyoga, Its nice to meet you."
The just smiled and walked away with the rest of his friends, I guess he just wanted to get to know everyone's names or something, I walked around the school and I eventually saw Misery start to leave her room. I hid around a corner that she could not see me in as she walked past me, she went around the corner and I followed her I walked down the hallway a bit and she was not there. How could she have disappeared.
"Stalking is not you best occupation is it Kyo." She said to me coming from behind me.
"What how did you see me I thought I was sneakier than that." I replied.
She said to me. "When you do as much stalking as me you learn to have eyes in the back of your head, lets head down to the cafeteria I need something to eat."
We walked to the cafeteria, this was the first time I had been in this room it was huge there were so many students in here as well. Misery and I stood in the line, she had a tray and we just talked until she was able to get her food. We sat down at a table with no one at it, I guess I was her only friend. Trast, Fonfon, Kay, and Felli all sat down with us after they noticed we were here. They asked us what we were doing and we told them we were going to the movies later today, they all said that they were going to go with us. Misery seemed a little bit ticked off about that I guess she wanted me for herself today. They had all finished eating and then we sat there and talked. Two girls walked up behind Fonfon and gave him a hug and a kiss, and said happy birthday to him. That was the first time I had ever seen someone say happy birthday to somebody sense I first woke up here.
"Happy birthday Fonfon, I did not know it was today." I said.
"Its not my birthday today, its tomorrow but no one seems to get that right, but sense you did not know anyway not like it matters." He replied to me.
I nodded my head, he seemed to hate when I talked to him or something, he seemed to have a pretty big ego or something, thinking he was hot stuff. Whatever not like I could do anything about it. Misery had asked if they would excuse us and she dragged me off into the hallway.
"I think we need to ditch them, they don't seem to like you very much." She told me.
I said to her. "Trast and Felli are my friends not Fonfon and Kay so I don't care what they say to me or how they say it just as long as they acknowledge that I am there and they don't treat me to badly anyway, and maybe Fonfon just is not a morning kind of guy."
I went back into the cafeteria saying that I was going back to my room until it was time to leave for the movies. Misery followed me there and we saw her father on the way back he smiled and nodded to us. Once we got back to my room we just sat down on the couch and said nothing for a long time, finally the silence was broken by the door down the stairs closing it seemed as though people had begun to walk up the stairs.
