I knew he had een watching me, I saw his eyes burn green like the heart of the jungle. \u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Yeah. \u0026nbsp;He was upset because he thought I had ingored him,\" I attempted to justify my actions, but with mixed feelings. \u0026nbsp;Was he angry with me? \u0026nbsp;Why would he be? \u0026nbsp;We've never spoken at all. \u0026nbsp;The next text came almost instantaneously.\n\n\"You should have ignored him. \u0026nbsp;Stay away from him. \u0026nbsp;You have no idea who you're messing with.\" \u0026nbsp;I read the message once. \u0026nbsp;Twice I looked over the words. \u0026nbsp;The third time I was met with a growing anger inside of me. \u0026nbsp;He can't tell me what to do, he doesn't even know me! \u0026nbsp;We've never talked! \u0026nbsp;This is rediculous! \u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Why?\" \u0026nbsp;I watched the ceiling until my phone buzzed again. \u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Trust me, you're better off not knowing,\" He said. Ugh! \u0026nbsp;This was infuriating! \u0026nbsp;I was at a loss for words. \u0026nbsp;How arrogant, how completely insane would you have to be to treat me like this? \u0026nbsp;I'm too good for him. \u0026nbsp;That's it. \u0026nbsp;He's scared of me. \u0026nbsp;I attempted to repeat those lines until I believed them, but envy green emeralds seemed to stalk my every thought.\n\n\"But... \u0026nbsp;Why?\" \u0026nbsp;I was feeling more and more like the victim in some obscure soap opera each time he responded. \u0026nbsp;And every denial of information riled me up.\n\n\"It's a long story, and I don't wanna text it all,\" he replied.\n\n\"Then I'll come over. \u0026nbsp;Where do you live?\" \u0026nbsp;Truth be told, I already knew where he lived, I just didn't want to come across as the stalker I am. \u0026nbsp;I climbed out the window, closing it behind me as I left in the night.\n\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n\nThe night air against my fur was bracing at first, but after the initial shock I became numb with sivers. \u0026nbsp;His house was down the street from mine; ten minutes away. \u0026nbsp;I got to the front door and hesitated as I thought about knocking. \u0026nbsp;One light was on upstairs, I assumed it was Tracy's. \u0026nbsp;\n\n\"I'm here.\" \u0026nbsp;I sent him a text and waited on the lawn. \u0026nbsp;The grass was cold and wet, but it was better than being seen by someone who didn't need to see me. A window opened and a fire ladder was on the sill. \u0026nbsp;Tracey's face appeared in the window.\n\n\"Psst!\" \u0026nbsp;He whispered. \u0026nbsp;I stood and walked over to the window, but he didn't drop the ladder.\n\n\"What the hell?\" \u0026nbsp;\n\n\"What's the secret password?\" He whispered. \u0026nbsp;I groaned, and my phone vibrated in my pocket.\n\n\"The secret password is 'please'.\" The text read. \u0026nbsp;I looked up at Tracey and laughed.\n\n\"Please?\" \u0026nbsp;The ladder dropped down and I climbed up into the window. \u0026nbsp;Tracy was at the threshold pulling the ladder up after I had climbed in. \u0026nbsp;I stood in his room, observing my surroundings. \u0026nbsp;It was tiny; a twin sized bed was stuck in the corner, and a small white dresser was in the opposite corner. Somehow I had imagined his room so much more interesting, but I couldn't complain, my room was only a bed.\n\n\"So. Hey.\" \u0026nbsp;He said. \u0026nbsp;'Hey?' \u0026nbsp;He couldn't find anything else to say? \u0026nbsp;Really?\n\n\"Hey.\" \u0026nbsp;I wanted to slap myself. \u0026nbsp;\n\n\"You shouldn't talk to Jake anymore.\" He was serious. \u0026nbsp;His facial features froze into a concerned look.\n\n\"Why not?\" I asked, a puzzled expression settled on my face. \u0026nbsp;\"He likes me, and I like him.\" \u0026nbsp;Did I really feel the need to justify our relationship?\n\n\"We used to date.\" \u0026nbsp;\n\nWoah. \u0026nbsp;Did not see that coming. \u0026nbsp;I knew he was cute, but gay? \u0026nbsp;No. \u0026nbsp;This is too good. \u0026nbsp;I froze in my seat, legs crossed and my tail still.\u0026nbsp;\n\n\"Did he do something bad?\" \u0026nbsp;I wanted to know so bad.\n\n\"Yeah.\" A sudden spark of sadness illuminated his eyes; they were the color of a melancholy, longing desire. \u0026nbsp;A sunset over a pasture of golden green wheat sprouting for the first time to meet the fresh air. \u0026nbsp;The contours of his face formed the valleys and peaks from which every songbird would flock to just to watch the sun set. \u0026nbsp;Maybe one day they might sing a song as beautiful as that scene. \u0026nbsp;Overwhelmed by his beauty my hand came to rest on his, and all of a sudden I trust him into a hug.\n\nHis arms stayed at his sides and my heart was wretched out of place. \u0026nbsp;A single crystal tear fell from his eye and I cleaned him up with my shirt. \u0026nbsp;I checked the clock on his dressed and told him that I had to leave. \u0026nbsp;This time, he hugged me. \u0026nbsp;For a moment I was flying in the sky and taking a bath in a rainbow, then he let me go. \u0026nbsp;I climbed out the window with wobbly knees. \u0026nbsp;Just then, a car drove by. \u0026nbsp;It was Kelsey.\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
