The Reality Chapter Eight
The Reality Chapter Eight: Sorrows of the past Misery laidthere in my arms sobbing for a good thirty minutes until she finally started tocalm down. I waited just comforting her until she was ready to talk to me, shewiped 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 foryou 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 problemsin various schools and they though it would help me if I went to one that wasmore strict, I was always getting into fights and hurting people, and it lookslike now is no different." She told me looking away from me.I looked her in the eye. "We can get through this andI'll help you we just need to explain to your father what happened andapologize to the one you hurt and everything will be fine."She shook her head and replied. "No it wont be this wasmy last chance to live a normal life and I had messed it up, the only place Iwill be going to now is locked in a juvenile detention centre away from othersso I cant hurt them anymore. The only way for me to live my life is to runaway, so good bye Kyoga, I hope I will see you sometime in the future." She stoodup and kissed me on the cheek and walked towards the balcony, I grabbed hersleeve 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 thecouch and closed the doors to the balcony, I looked at her she was looking atin awe. I had sat back down beside her."You can't just run away from your problems, or theywill come back and haunt you, I know this from experience." I said to her.She yelled for the first time. "So what am I supposedto do, let them take me away and have no freedom for the rest of myyouth!""No! You apologize and try to fix what you did wrongthis world needs people who will be there and help one another and try to fixwhere they went wrong the first time, if no one does that then how can theworld progress!" I yelled back at her tears coming to my eyes."Kyoga, what you have said to be today makes me wonderhow can someone so young understand what needs to be done, and exactly how tofix everything that has gone wrong." She replied.
I looked at her and said. "I myself had made mistakesbefore not knowing what to do about them, but now if I could go back I knowwhat I have to do and what my priorities should have been, feel free to sleephere tonight and tomorrow
I will help you get out of this situation." I startedto walk away and I heard a soft thank you, I crawled in my bed and went tosleep, I had a lot of work to do tomorrow to get her out of this situation, butI was going to do my best in hopes that she could have a better future and helpher through the rough times. Waking up the next morning I had gotten dressedand prepared myself for the discussion with the headmaster and the studentMisery hurt, I looked and she was still there sleeping on the couch it was arelief that she did not leave during the middle of the night. I woke her up andwe went to the headmasters office. We sat there for thirty minutes until thestudent she had harmed came to the office. We sat there and had talked overwhat had happened for about an hour. I was able to get her to apologize, whichwas apparently the first time she had ever done it too. She got off with just aslap on the wrist this time but next time she was going to be sent away. Me andMisery went back up to my room to find my P.E teacher Miss. Donn waiting forme, after the incident with my first P.E teacher they had replaced him withsomeone else.Miss. Donn said. "Now where have you been our classshould have started thirty minutes ago.""I'm so sorry Miss. Donn I was in the Headmastersoffice taking care of a problem with my friend here." I said sincerely."Oh well I guess that is a legitimate reason, but yourfriend here will be joining us today she looks like she needs someexercise." Miss. Donn told us. We went outto the field and had begun running laps, looks like today is the day of firstsbecause Misery was actually participating in what we were told to do. She madeus do sit ups, chin ups, push ups, recalling everything we had did I laughed atthe fact that almost every exercise had "up" in it. It was kind offunny now that I think of it had anyone else ever laughed at that, probablynot. The workout was definitely hard and made me sweat a lot, Miss. Donn hadalso set up hurdles and made us run laps jumping over them. Misery seemed to behaving 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 forthe day, I was sweating so much that all I could think about was a taking ashower."Hey Misery your actually pretty athletic." I saidpanting.She replied to me. "Well this stuff comes easy to me, Ihave always been able to do these kinds of things no sweat.""Yeah but I always see you just walking or notparticipating 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 orI would be setting a bad example, sense you helped me out." She saidbringing a smile to her face."Well I am going to go up to my room and have ashower." I said to her."Hey Kyo, are you afraid of heights, if not get on myback and hold on tight." She said to me. I got ontoher back and held on like she said. She ran at the wall directly below mybalcony and jumped, kicked off the wall and grabbed a pipe, she swung her legsonto a ledge and pushed off of the pipe and grabbed onto a widow ceil, she wasquickly climbing up the building like it was nothing. I could see we were about3 feet away from the balcony and with a few more leaps and grabs we werestanding on it. That was a thrill I was truthfully afraid of heights, but notif I there was something stopping me from falling but I held on for my life, Ithought I was going to have a heart attack as I climbed off of her back. Ilooked at her face and she was smiling she really loved doing parkour by thelooks of it. I hadwalked into my bathroom and started up the shower, I had to say that Miseryafter we talked to her father had changed her personality quite a bit trying tobe a good example for once. Although she still sounded like she was depressedwhen she talked but I believe that was just a habit for her to be that quietall the time. I got out of the shower and dried myself off combing my hair soit would not be sticking up all over the place. I diapered myself up and gotdressed and left the bathroom Misery was sitting on my couch with my acousticguitar in her hands trying to play it, she did not know how to play though soit was kind of funny. I stood there for awhile waiting to see if she did knowanything but she did not."would you like me to show you how to playsomething." I asked her. She noddedher head and I sat down beside her and put her paws onto the correct positionand showed her everywhere she needed to move her paw to after she played thenote, I told her to give it a shot, she played every note but not at the rightspeed she gave it a few more tries and then gave up. She asked if she could usemy shower because she hated public ones at the school. I nodded that she wasallowed and she ran off into the shower. I walked around my room a bit just toobserve everything, I had not actually went around and looked at absolutelyeverything in my room before, I looked in a drawer in one of the tables in mylounging room to find a few fantasy novels, pencils and a sketch book. Lookedlike 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 getsomething to eat, as she left Trast came up into my room."Hey lil' buddy, me and the others are going to bepracticing in the music room if you want to join us." He said I told himI would be right there he waited for me to get ready, I put on the cloak andgrabbed my guitar and we left for the music room. Once we got there everyonewas huddled around a table yelling at one another about how the song was notright how it did sound good. Standing there I could barely see what they haddown not like it mattered though if I had an opinion they would not listen tome. I sat there and watched them play for a bit till I got bored of that, I hadtold them I was going to go up to my room and when I turned around Misery wasstanding behind me smiling. I jumped, she always did that to me she was goingto give me a heart attack one of these days. We walked in silence to my roomshe came in and sat down with me in my lounging area. We did not talk we justsat there, I was laying down on my sofa thinking of something to talk about orsomething to do."Umm Kyoga so I was wondering if you wanted to go see amovie tomorrow or something, I'll pay for it." She said blushing."Sure I would love to, but you do know that your to oldfor 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 anddo something with you, and I'm fourteen by the way." She replied. I looked atthe 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 toldMisery she could stay the night if she wanted to she said she would think aboutit, I got up and went into my washroom and brushed my teeth. After I finished Icame out of the bathroom to Misery saying she would sleep in her own roomtonight and she left. I finished getting ready for bed and crawled in a aboutten 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 stoodthere in an empty field was I dreaming, I must have been, I saw Trast and Fellion the other side of the field I ran to them. Once I got there I noticed Miseryhiding behind a tree, I waved over to her. The sky had started to get darkerand I noticed Lex and Kiara walking towards me. I looked over to them and wavedbut they did not see me, no one could. I yelled at them trying to get theirattention but they still did not look at me. I ran up to them and tried tappingthem on the shoulder but my hand just went right through them, I went over tothe others and the same thing happened. What was going on here I wondered, alarge thunderclap happened and I woke
up. I wasshaking it was just a dream what did it mean though my dreams always had someimportance to them, but what did this one have to say. I looked over to theclock and it was 6:40, I was only going to be able to sleep for another 20minutes so I just got out of bed and got ready instead. I got into the showerto wake myself up and I washed my whole body, my shampoo was almost gone, Iwent through so much of it now that I had fur all over and I had to constantlybuy it. I got out and dried myself off and combed my hair, I then went to myfull body mirror and started to brush my tail. I always forgot to do this andmy tail fur was always knotted up because of it. It was quite hard to get someof 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 bedgetting lost in a daydream. I was snapped out of it by the kitchen staffbringing up my meal. Steak and eggs this was different, I never once had steakfor 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 getdressed, I put on a new pair of jeans and a new t-shirt, I had also bought anew green hoodie so I put that on too. The air outside was starting to getcolder I could feel that the snow was coming soon to. I put on my cloak andleft my room, there was no way that anyone would care as long as I kept mycloak on. I walked around the school a bit and a few student were walkingaround going to the cafeteria. There were a few cubs walking around to laughingand shoving each other a bit, one of them saw me and waved to me, I waved backof course not wanting to be rude, then the cub ran up to me."Hi my name is Hei what is your name?" He saidreally happily.Shocked that he talked to me I replied. "Oh my name isKyoga, Its nice to meet you." The justsmiled and walked away with the rest of his friends, I guess he just wanted toget to know everyone's names or something, I walked around the school and Ieventually saw Misery start to leave her room. I hid around a corner that shecould not see me in as she walked past me, she went around the corner and Ifollowed her I walked down the hallway a bit and she was not there. How couldshe 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 thanthat." I replied.She said to me. "When you do as much stalking as me youlearn to have eyes in the back of your head, lets head down to the cafeteria Ineed something to eat." We
walkedto the cafeteria, this was the first time I had been in this room it was hugethere 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 satdown 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 movieslater today, they all said that they were going to go with us. Misery seemed alittle bit ticked off about that I guess she wanted me for herself today. Theyhad all finished eating and then we sat there and talked. Two girls walked upbehind 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 somebodysense I first woke up here."Happy birthday Fonfon, I did not know it wastoday." I said."Its not my birthday today, its tomorrow but no oneseems to get that right, but sense you did not know anyway not like itmatters." He replied to me. I nodded myhead, he seemed to hate when I talked to him or something, he seemed to have apretty big ego or something, thinking he was hot stuff. Whatever not like Icould do anything about it. Misery had asked if they would excuse us and shedragged me off into the hallway."I think we need to ditch them, they don't seem to likeyou very much." She told me.I said to her. "Trast and Felli are my friends notFonfon and Kay so I don't care what they say to me or how they say it just aslong as they acknowledge that I am there and they don't treat me to badlyanyway, and maybe Fonfon just is not a morning kind of guy."
I went backinto the cafeteria saying that I was going back to my room until it was time toleave for the movies. Misery followed me there and we saw her father on the wayback he smiled and nodded to us. Once we got back to my room we just sat downon the couch and said nothing for a long time, finally the silence was brokenby the door down the stairs closing it seemed as though people had begun towalk up the stairs.
