Chapter Two

I gave a soft groan as I sat behind a long line in the 'Caffeinated' drive through. My car bumper to bumper while I sat with my head on my paw as I watched car after car fumble over what they want from the menu.

"You just had to have coffee this morning." I groaned to my brother,

"You just have to complain." Daniel said back to me, mimicking my tone,

"If somebody just got to bed earlier, he wouldn't need coffee." I said with a sigh, moving forward as the car five cars a head of me finally finished their order.

"When am I going to stop hearing about this?" Daniel asked me, I just chuckled,

"When you finally get your ass to bed at a decent time." I said with a smile, hearing him grumble under his breath. I just slowly turned my music up and gently tapped along with the heavy beat that was 'tsunami'.

The car inching its way further and further forward. My head going through assignments, through girls, through plays on the field, though classes and even enjoying some music that plays all the while the car inching further and further as the time ticked on and on.

I soon was a car behind the speaker and I gave a happy sigh knowing it was all smooth sailing from here on. I leaned back and watched as the car in front of me began to take its sweet ass time.

I gave a groan as I shook my head and once again placed my head on my paw. I was so damn close to just giving up on coffee and making my brother just deal with being stupid and staying up so late.

I was just about pull out when my phone began to sound. I quickly unplugged it and answered the call before sliding the large screened phone to my ear.

"This is Emmett." I answered, half expecting it to be work to see if I could work tonight,

"Hey limp dick." came the familiar voice of the left wing for the team. A small leopard that could slip his way out of any grip, run his way down a field faster then anybody in the state, and also the biggest wise ass I know.

Thats what made him my best friend.

"What the fuck do you want lady man?" I asked,

"Wondering if you could be as awesome to come pick me up?" came his confident voice as if he knew I would come grab him.

I just hated just how he knew me.

"Yeah yeah, what ever. If this damn BMW would figure out what he wanted." I sighed,

"Huh?" he asked,

"Oh I'm in the drive through at caffeinated." I explained, "Been in this line for about twenty minutes."

"Shit dude..." Max said, "Thats bull shit!"

"You're telling me." I chuckled,

"Yeah," he said, "Well I will leave you to your idling, I will see you in thirty or so."

"Alright man." I said, sighing happily as the BMW began to move forward.

"See ya, oh and grab me a large choc-caff blast please. Kay thanks bye!" He said quickly before the snarky little shit hung up on me. I just laughed. Shaking my head as I put my phone down and pulled up to the speaker box.

"Welcome to Caffeinated, how can I energize you today?" the somewhat nervous sounding person asked, making me understand now just what was taking so long. A pour noobie has been thrown onto the speaker box.

"Hey um would I be able to grab a large choc-caff blast please, a large caramel whip with extra sauce and a large... actually make that two Large Caramel whips with extra caramel sauce please." I said hoping I didn't go to fast for the poor guy.

"Um yup sure." the voice replied, while I watched the small screen below the speaker. "Dreadfully sorry for taking so long sir."

"Hey man its sweet," I said, deciding not to be yet another ass hole. "You're new I'm guessing?" I asked him,

"Yeah its my first shift." He admitted, a small smile spreading over my lips as my order was perfect.

"Well you're doing a sweet job man, don't worry about it." I added before I head him giggle. It sounded so innocent, so kind and full of life. I had no idea why I was so intrigued by it, but I was really looking forward to seeing the person behind the laugh.

"Well thank you sir." he said giddily, "your total is twenty one thirty, please drive up to the next window."

"No problem." I said back with a smile, putting my beauty into gear and slowly driving up behind the BMW.

"Hitting on the .... on the um..." My brother began, my paw raising and slowly covering his maw.

"You failed." I said bluntly, "stop trying."

My brother huffing a tired laugh and moving his maw away from my paw.

"Don't touch me with your jerk off paw." He growled playfully,

"Nah man, wrong paw." I replied, "Thats my ball tickling and knot tugging paw."

"Eww bro!" Danial laughed, pushing my paw away,

"Can you small my balls?" I asked him with a laugh, dodging his paw to playfully get my paw right near his face. The two of us laughing as he tried to keep my paw away and I continued to rub it all over him.

After a little but I pulled my paw away and just laughed as I watched the BMW pull in next to the window. Daniel was trying to get a grip on his laughing which made me smile more. I watched carefully as I watched two arms come from the two windows.

The BMW was a white arm with pristine nails and bangles. Obviously female. But the other window came out with a grayish brown arm, it was slender and didn't have that much muscle so I couldn't really get a read on it.

It could have been either really, so the only way I was going to find out was when I finally got to get around to paying.

After the female finally got her payment sorted, and finally got enough room to move forward, I pulled in, slowly inching centimeter by centimeter. I watched with the focus of a feral Lion watching its prey while I creeped further and further...

To see a long laky Komodo with dead grey scales and a horrid cause of acne.

There was no way in hell this was the same guy.

"That'll be twenty-one thirty please sir." he said and as his voice sounded more like that squeaky voiced teen from the Simpsons, I knew damn well it wasn't him.

"Yeah man no problem." I said, pulling the fifty i had ready from my pocket and handing it to him.

"Thank you," he said politely, hitting a few keys on the screen in front of him. It was then a quick transfer of money then I was back on my way. It took me another ten minutes to get the coffee and leave. It was well worth it though.

The coffee was blended perfectly and the caramel aftertaste was just incredible. Not overly sweet and not overly bitter.

After I finally got back on the road, it took me a little under twenty to pull up into Max's driveway. The double story modern suburban house colored a very pale white which always hurt my eyes when the sun reflected off it.

I reached to my phone and quickly messaged the Leopard to hurry his tail or walk. The message getting replied with a very nice photo of him giving me the finger as he was walking out of his room. I just laughed, putting my phone down and watching the front door.

As soon as the ass hole was out of his house, my finger made its way to return the favor.

"Oh you fucking love me." Max laughed, I just rolled my eyes and held my paw open for the loser to high five while jumping into my back seat. "Hey Daniel buddy, good game last night."

Daniel gave a lazy grunt as he slowly sucked on his straw.

"Somebody's a little tired after going to bed at five in the morning." I chuckled,

"Suck it up noob," Daniel laughed, "Im going on twenty five hours with not a wink of sleep."

"Oh you are such a brilliant role model." I laughed, looking back at Max who just poked his tongue out, "You're parents must be proud."

"Straight B student, fasted mother fucker in this town and swaggiest of all time, Damn right they are proud." He shot back, a simple eye roll from me giving him a nice laugh.

"You're such a twat." I laughed, having to slow down for a traffic light.

"You so could have made that." Daniel spoke up, I just sighed and slowly began to pet his face again.

"Shh, back to sleep." I said stroking his face ear to neck, "Smell my balls and fall asleep."

"Oh fuck off!" Daniel laughed, pushing my paws away.

"Smell your balls huh?" Max asked,

"Yeah, he loves it!" I chuckled, a loud groan in return from my extremely tired brother. "oh and if you call mum or dad to come get you on their day off, you will not be getting coffee for a very long time." I threatened taking off again and turning into the school.

"Emmett!" Daniel groaned,

"Seriously, its your own fault you're so damn tired. So do not annoy mum and dad on their ONLY day off together."

"Fine.. Fucking hell." He grumbled, I just fought the urger to grab his coffee and thrown it away.

"Ok ladies, you're both pretty. Lets not make the non sibling feel weird." Max said while I was slowly turning into a parking spot.

"You should be used to feeling weird." I chuckled, turning my beauty off and pulled out my key.

"Oh Har Har." Max sassed,

"Just shut up and help me with the roof." I said padding to the back of my car, getting my brothers bag and giving it to him before he stormed off. "And have a wonderful day!" I called out after him.

"You are to harsh on that boy." Max said back to me,

"Yeah well when you have to deal with his grumpy bull shit all the time its hard not to get annoyed when he doesn't actually go to bed." I sighed, pushing my boot down and then unhooking the top of it.

Max and I pushed it back before grabbing the frame of the room and pulling it out. After shutting the top of the boot, max and I hooked the end of the frame into the back of the car, then slowly worked our way up until the car was covered and locked up.

"I really wish I bought a car that did this by itself." I sighed, locking the door with the key and made my way with Max into the school.

"Are you actually saying something is wrong with your car?" Max gasped dramatically,

"Oh fuck off." I laughed, "I love that car and you know damn well that I do."

Max just pretend to mutter under his breath, that got him a rough shove. The two of us just laughing and padding our way through the school.

We finally got to our psych class and both got what we needed from our teacher surprising quickly. It only took us close to fifteen minutes to ask the questions, understand what we needed to do, then realize how to incorporate it all into our assignment.

Lets just say that acting is needed.

So after that, Max and I didn't really know what to do. We just wandered around the school, until it was five minutes till the bell.

We then just made our way to our home room.

The auditorium.

It was seriously the coolest homeroom, well, provided you got a good teacher. Which we did.

We got this incredible teacher called Mrs. Furt. She was the sweetest, and kindest teacher I have ever had in my eleven years of schooling. She's the reason I'm so good at math's, the reason I got captain on the football team, and the reason I got School captain. No she didn't bribe anybody, she just gave me the confidence to go for them. She's an amazing person and an amazing drama teacher.

Yup, drama and football. Crazy right?

"So, what have you got today again?" max asked,

"I have Double drama first, then free before recess, after that we have training till lunch and then double PE afterwards." I said with a chuckle,

"I know I'm being a pain but could you go get a coffee for me after training?" Max asked,

"If you're shouting." I chuckled,

"Yeah man, you drive and I'll pay." Max said giving my arm a nudge. "If I have to deal with training and PE afterwards. I think I'm going to be so dead."

"And going with no sleep either. Coach may kill you when he finds out." I sighed pushing the auditorium door open,

"Yeah, if he finds out." Max chuckled, as he and I walked into the largest school auditorium in the state. Seats nearly as many as a broadway show I believe.

State of the art lights and sound boards, and unbelievable acoustics. It was amazing. I could hear Mrs. Furt talk from the other end of the room; and the rows go back to 29.

"So you two finally show up?" The ferret herself asked, her cheeky grin on her face meaning trouble for one of us.

"Yeeess?" I asked, the two of us now confused as to why it was only us she wanted.

"Good," she said, the seemingly evil motives being all but a joke as she slid herself down to sit on the side of the stage. "How is your dramatic piece coming together?"

"Dramatically." Max said with a positive smile on his face. Mrs. Furt throwing her head back as she laughed, while I just groaned at his pun. Putting my face into my paw and sighed,

"God dammit max..."

"Oh Max how you make me laugh," Mrs Furt said, wiping away a tear.

"Yes, laugh." I said with a sigh.

"Oh laugh will you." The ferret giggled as she playfully smacked my shoulder. I just chuckled a little and shook my head.

"So are we rehearsing for the double?" I asked, and Mrs. Furt just nodded her head.

"Yeah, by the end of it though I do want to be performing. Oh and I will be introducing the new student."

"Oh fresh meat huh?" Max asked,

"Oh don't be mean to him." Mrs. Furt groaned, "His drama teacher actually called me to let me know he was coming, he's apparently quite talented."

"Oh wow really?" I asked her,

"Oh great... A snob." Sam said,

"Calm down Max, you don't even know the guy." I said, looking up at the ceiling as the bell for school began to sound.

"Yeah well I hope he isn't an annoying pompous prick." Max said with a sigh.

"Yeah I hope so too." Came a completely new voice coming from a few seats away. The three of us turning to the Sea lion, sitting at one of seats with a bright smile on his face, his paws holding a very large A3 sketch book, in his paw a lead pencil as his paw slowly worked over the page.

"Oh Claye!" Mrs. Furt said with a surprised but happy tone. The Sea lion giving a little giggle as he looked over at Max's blushing face which my ears flickered at.

I knew that giggle. That innocent and gorgeous giggle that for some reason left my stomach fluttery. Me! A fucking nearly seven foot tall brick house Dalmatian that is getting butterflies over a damn giggle.

FROM A MALE!

The Sea lion closed up his pad and put his pencil away into the small pencil case next to him. He was so... organized.

He stood from his seat and after getting all his belongings, made his way over to us. His long armed, hooded shirt going all the way to his fingers, his skinny jeans showing off his slender figure well and for the life of me. I don't know how or why. But I thought he was gorgeous.

His smile seemed so genuine, his features so feminine and so gentle. It was like he was a girl, but his voice and facial structure said otherwise.

"Max, Emmett, This is Claye. He's the new student."

"No I'm not." Claye said, sounding confused, "I'm the new pompous snob." Claye corrected, getting a very nice heartily laugh from Mrs. Furt and I.

Max gave a polite chuckle, but he was just embarrassed he made fun of the new guy right in front of him.

"Its wonderful to meet you." I said with a smile, holding my paw out to the smaller being who graciously took my paw and gave it a firm shake. I gave him a very welcoming smile as he looked at me.

His eyes confused me. His entire body seemed so cheerful, he seemed like somebody who was so full of life, but his eyes seemed so bleak and so... I don't know. They just didn't seem to fit.

"Sorry about presuming you were a pompous snob." Max chuckled,

"Well hey, at least you were wrong yeah?" Claye said with a sweet smile following,

"Yeah aha... Well maybe I can make it up to you! Emmett and I were going to go grab a coffee at lunch, least I can do is get you one." Max said with an innocent smile,

"That sounds nice." Claye accepted, "Would be nice to make some friends today."

"Well you can't make nicer friends then these two. In fact, Emmett. Being school captain, how would you like to show Claye around? Make sure he settles in nice?" Mrs. Furt asked me, and I don't think I have said yes to anything so fast in my life. A smile came to my face and a quick nod sealed the deal.

"Wonderful!" Mrs. Furt said with a clap of her paws, "I will leave you to get more acquainted."

"Great." Claye said with a smile,

"Awesome." I chuckled,

"Woo." Max muttered. I just chuckled it off,

"So tell me about yourself man." I said moving to the seats behind us and taking a seat. Claye just moving with me an sitting next to me, max sitting in front of us with his back propped up against the front of the stage.

"Well um, as you already know I'm an actor. Um, I love art as well. Other then that there isn't much." Claye said, smiling over at me, then over at Max.

"Well hey theres nothing wrong with being creative." Max said with a smile,

"True dat." I added,

"Well I'm glad." Claye said with a smile, "What about you max?" Claye asked, leaning in to the Leopard with a smile.

"Well um, I'm the Left Wing on the football team. I enjoy drama cause its easy to do and fun. I love games which is why I have been up for twenty-five hours. My favorite thing in the world is coffee and I hate Math's." Max said with what seemed like a little bit of difficulty,

"Oh I hate Math's too. Numbers are shit." Claye agreed, i just chuckled and shook my head a little. "You disagree?"

"I think people hate Math's mostly because they don't understand it." I explained, "I may not really enjoy Math's, but being decent at it makes it easy not to hate it." I said with a chuckle, only then realizing how much of an asshole I really sounded like.

"Well as much as I agree with you there, I also have to say its Anthro Nature for people to dislike what they don't know. It's prominent all through out history." Claye explained, getting a nod of my head with a very impressed look on my face.

"Alright newbie," I chuckled, "Looks like I'm not the only person who studies around here."

"Yeah... Study." The mammal giggled,

"Oh get a room you two." Max laughed, too which my middle finger shot up from my side. Claye just laughing as I did. "So anyway, what classes do you have today Claye?"

"Oh um, Double Drama, then Math's. After recess its double Psychology, and then I finish it all off with a double PE."

"What classes are you taking?" I asked,

"Drama, Art, Psychology, Math's and English." Claye recalled, "How about you guys?"

"I have Graphics, Drama, Psychology, Math's and English." Max said with a smile, Claye just looked confused.

"Did you... Did you put all the classes into a hat and pull the out?" Claye asked with a laugh, "They are the most random group of classes I have ever heard."

Max just poked his tongue out and made a childish noise,

"I have a lot of interest." he said with fake up-him-self attitude that reminded me to much of my brother.

"hehe, well that's cool man," Claye giggled, smiling back over at me, "And you Emmett?"

"Sports Science, Drama, Psychology, and English." I said with a smile, Claye giving a slightly confused look,

"But that's only four subjects."

"Yeah Um, last year I may or may not have gotten A pluses on all my assignments and they said I could not do it this year which I happily agreed to. So instead I am studying a certification three in business. The School is covering the costs." I explained with a smile.

"Oh wow." Claye said, sounding very impressed. "So if I ever need help with Math's I know who to come to." He said with a friendly smile.

"Yeah yeah, He just wont do the whole assignment for you." Max chuckled, "no matter how much you beg, or offer to hook him up with hot girls. He still only gives me the info and tells me to do it myself. So heartless." Max said with a sigh.

"Yeah. Horrible." I said with a chuckle.

"Hey boys!" A new voice said approaching from behind.

"Oh hey man." Max said with a smile, I turned on my seat and smiled as our hooker was walking up.

"Hey Shane!" I said, holding out my paw for the large brown Stallion to take into his before sliding over next to Max.

"How was your night with Megan?" Max asked,

"Friggin sweet man." Shane chuckled, "Had her moaning all night long." He said getting a nice chuckle from the group, "oh hello." Shane said smiling over at the new face.

"Hey." Claye said with a smile, "Glad your night of pussy pounding went well."

"Well thank you new kid." The Horse chuckled, "Shane." He introduced himself,

"Claye." The Sea lion said with a kind smile.

"Sweet as." Shane said with a smile, "First day?"

"Yeah pretty much," Claye said with a smile, "Have to say its nice to come to a school where the football team isn't a bunch of jerks who through their muscle around."

"Oh no.. we have a few of them." I sighed, Max and Shane both groaning.

"Oh really?" Claye asked, sounding just as disappointed as we were.

"yeah, I mean its three of thirteen so most of us are decent guys." Shane said with a chuckle,

"Who are these three?" Claye asked,

"Well we have Jack, Damian, and Xander." I said with a sigh, "Jack is a Husky, and his family is big money so he's a snob. Damian and a Rather buff Bear. His family is extremely broke so he hangs around Jack so his family gets looked after. He's a really sweet guy when Jacks not here. So you can't blame him really. He's thick in the head so he's really easy to manipulate which makes it easy for Jack cause he's a fucking moron."

"Oh that sucks." Claye said with a sigh,

"Yeah and Xander, he's a Wolf with a temper. He hates everything and everything usually hates him back. So being one of the schools bully lets him let off steam. He doesn't really care what his fists are getting pummeled into, just as long as he can hear them whimper and cry."

"Dude." Shane said, "Don't scare the little guy."

"Oh don't worry about me." Claye said with a brave smile, "Been dealing with shit bricks like that most of my life. Nothing new to me."

Hearing that actually kind of hurt. I mean this guy is the kindest fur I have met in a very long time. How could anybody take advantage of that? His smile and giggle are so innocent its horrible to think that maybe somebody is taking advantage of that.

"If you don't mind me asking bud, why did you move?" Shane asked, and Claye just gave a small shrug,

"Old school was shit, couldn't take it there anymore so my parents looked for a new school, we packed up and left and here I am." Claye explained with a smile,

"Did you move with or without the job?" I asked and Claye just smiled,

"It was you this morning." He said with a kind smile, "God it was so nice to hear a kind customer for once. I worked in Caffeinated back in Blackton so I knew what I was doing but it never got more busy then three cars." The Sea lion laughed, "So thank you so much for not being a dick."

I just chuckled and smiled at the smaller being,

"That's out boy." Max said with a smile, "Biggest non dick in the world."

I just smiled over at the Leopard, silently thanking him for his words.

"Alright is everybody here?" Mrs. Furt asked as she walked out on stage, laughing at the mass amounts of yes's, grunts, groans, and other various noises. "well that sorts that all out then." she giggled before she began to go down the lists of names.

It went quickly and ended with Mrs. Furt letting the non drama students go to what ever classes they had now.

"Enjoy Science." Max said with an obnoxious laugh to follow,

"Enjoy Drama faggots AHA!" He laughed, leaving backwards with his fingers rose towards us.

"To far!" Max laughed out, I do admit to laughing myself but don't get the wrong idea about us. We are not homophobic at all. Yes we laugh about and call each other faggot and cock sucker, but we have a laugh about much darker things but it doesn't mean we actually do them.

I am a firm believer that bad things are bad but laughing about them isn't. You may not agree and hey, thats fine! I'm not going to force my beliefs onto you, just don't do the same to me.

"So um," Claye said as Shane left, "What's the drama performance Mrs. Furt told me about?"

"Oh its a Dramatic performance, The more Drama the better." Max explained,

"Yeah I think it's a brilliant assignment." I said cheerfully, "Drama is so much fun, so much emotion put into a fifteen minute performance."

"Fifteen?" Claye asked in surprise,

"Yeah, its our second longest performance this year." I said with a smile.

"What's our longest?" Claye asked,

"The showcase at the end of this year." Max said with a smile. "Where the parents and even members of the public come to see us all perform."

"Jesus." Claye chuckled,

"Yeah, we get groups of three or more and then we pull a type of show out of the hat. Its horrible." I said with a sigh, "A group got musical last year, and for half an hour people had to listen to four tone deaf people in the back ground while the only two who could sing ran the show."

Claye bit down softly onto his lips, obviously holding back his amusement which I had to just chuckle at. "it was hysterical." I chuckled, giving Claye the freedom to laugh his little heart out.

"Oh I love school performances because of that reason!" Claye giggled, "So much shit in a short time period."

I had to laugh at the truth in that comment. I find it so funny when people who cant act go into drama because they find it 'easy', then continue to make a fool of themselves and still come out with a horrible mark at the end of it all.

"Well Emmett and I are different." Max said giving my foot a nudge with his. "He and I can actually act and we only perform quality stuff."

"Quality!?" Came a laugh from the stage, Max and I groaning as Jack came and sat down on the front of the stage. "You boys can't act for shit." The husky laughed, Max's eye gently twitching below.

"Says the guy that seems to get below average marks on every performance." Max said after taking a deep sigh, "What was his last grade again Emmett? A D minus?"

"I had a hangover." Jack brushed off, I just shook my head.

"What are you doing for your performance?" I asked him,

"The best idea ever." He said with a chuckle, "nice guy, bad parents, bad school life, ends with him killing everybody due to anger."

"Sounds Dramatic." Claye said with a smile, Jack looking over at him with a confused look.

"And you are?" He asked, I just sighed hoping I wouldn't have to shut him up.

"I'm Claye." The Sea lion introduced himself, and jack just nodded his head with not an ounce of interest on his face.

"Great." He said dripping with sarcasm,

"Jack if you're going to be an asshole, go away." I sighed.

"Aww don't be like that Emmy..." Jack pouted, sliding down and taking a seat next to me. "I'm just having a bit of fun. Anyway, I wanted to ask if you could tell coach I've hurt my ankle for practice. I have to go home to uh, work on assignments."

I was just about ready to push the cunt into the floor at that point, but I just wanted to get him to piss off.

"Yep sure man." I said with a big fake smile,

"Woah Emmet, why?" Max said sounding confused, I looked over at him with my big ol' smile and said,

"Because he needs to work on assignments like he said." I explained with a sly wink, which got him nodding his head and in on what I was doing.

"Oh of course." Max said, slapping his paw onto his forehead. "Sorry dude."

"No worries man." Jack said standing and holding his paw out to me, I just smiled up at him, giving him a good hard high five.

"You work hard alright." I said giving him a thumbs up.

"You got it captain." He said with a quick salute as he made his way over to his partner. I just huffed and looked back over to max.

"He's going home to get high." I said with disdain putting my face into my paws. "We have a match this weekend, and he's going home to get fucking high!"

"What are you telling coach?" Max asked,

"I'm telling coach that he's skipping practice and that he needs to be benched for the game. Give one of the subs a chance to actually play." I said with a nod. "Sam said begged me for a chance to play this game anyway because his dad was going to be coming."

"Well that's lovely of you." Claye said with a smile, "What Sam lacks in skill he makes up for in spirit and commitment! Plus he's a fucking awesome guy."

"Fuck yeah he is! You know I was struggling with my graphics homework and he stayed up till one in the morning on Skype with me till I had it perfect."

"No kidding?" I asked,

"Yeah, I still have to pay him back for that." Max said going into a daze of thought.

"Tell Sam you fought for him to play this time." I suggested,

"Oh sweet idea man!" Sam said with a chuckle, "You see, this is why are friends." Max said with a nod of his head, I just gave a huffed laugh. I was about to make a joke on how it was really good one sided friendship when Mrs. Furt walked out on stage.

"Good morning everybody!" She said with a nice wave of her arm, getting a nice happy greeting in return. "So we all know what we are doing, you all have your performances to do and work on so get to work, but Claye may I see you please?"

Claye nodded his head and hoped up to go follow Mrs. Furt while Max and I got up onto the stage and began our rehearsals.

I think it was around half way through that Max and realized how far behind we were.

"Please tell me I can come over after school." Max sighed,

"Yeah dude we need to." I chuckled shaking my head, looking over to see Claye twiddling a pencil in his paw as he looked at a notebook. "I'll be right back," I excused myself and made my way over to the pondering Mammal.

I was a few steps away when he finally looked and sighed with an over exaggerated look on his face.

"So I have a two week extension, and I only have to do a five to seven and half minute Dramatic monologue." Claye said with a smile,

"You got any ideas?" I asked, sitting in the seat next to him to see a whole bunch of scribbles on the page. Break up, Abusive relationship, zombie apocalypse victim, Viral wipe out lone survivor, Gay in the old day, getting kicked out, accidentally getting knocking a girl up, and the list went on.

"I have a few." he giggled,

"Some of these are brilliant ideas dude." I chuckled, "oh dude that would be amazing." I said pointing at the 'viral wipe out lone survivor'. Claye nodded his head while just tilting his head lightly.

"I dunno, I feel like it would leave to much room for action and not drama." He explained which to be fair was totally right. "I'm kind of leaning towards this." he said circling 'gay in the old day'. He then sighed, "but I don't know how much information I could really give." he said perking his lips off to the side.

"Well." I said holding my paw out for the pencil, "May I suggest something?" I asked with a smile.

"Please do." he said placing the pencil down onto my paw, I just smiled as I then gently took the book, crossed out 'in the old day' then drew an arrow over to 'getting kicked out.'

I then smiled over to him, and this look of 'oh my god, thank you' was just plastered over his face. "You are a fucking GENIOUS Emmett!" He laughed out, "I could hug you right now!" He laughed,

I don't really know why I liked the sound of it, I don't understand why my stomach felt like it was being tackled by a three hundred pound wrester, but I just laughed it off; not really wanting to think much into it right then and there.

But I regret not taking it. To this Day I wish I had opened my arms and taken the hug. It would have made that day perfect.

"Glad I could help you out buddy." I chuckled, standing myself, "You get started and I will see you later yeah?"

"Sure," He said smiling,

"Oh hey, um." I said just before I left. "I'm guessing you don't have yourself people to sit with at breaks?" I asked him, and he just shook his head. "Well be sure to come find me yeah?" I said giving him the nicest smile I could.

"I would like that." He said, "I guess I will see you then." I just nodded

"Come to the library after Math's, Max will take you there yeah?" I said and after getting his nod I then left him be, returning to Max whom had decided to lay down. "What are you doing?"

"I think you and I need to kiss." He said squinting his eyes. Now, having no idea what he was thinking that kinda took me off guard.

"Umm... Dude I date girls." I reminded him,

"Fuck off dude aha!" He laughed rolling backwards onto his hind paws. "You know when I'm reaching for that thing off the self, we fall and I end up on top of you?"

"Oh, Yeah man. OH! Yeah man that's awesome!" I said with a laugh.

No kissing another guy was a worry for me. I was ...confident? with my sexuality. Kissing another guy wasn't gross or weird to me. It was just lips on lips with somebody that meant nothing. If the other guy was hitting on me and trying to get with me I wouldn't do it though, and not because a guy hitting on me intimidates my masculinity.

Because doing stuff like that with a person you don't like that way doesn't do anyone any good. Gives them false hope and makes me feel awful for sleeping or kissing with them out of pity. I did that once and I'll never be doing that again.

"Think we'll get shit for it?" Max asked, and i just sniggered, "I can bench press close to four hundred K-G. You may not be as strong but every fight I have seen you in, you have really kicked the shit out of them." I chuckled, "Nobody except Jack and his two groupies but if he messes with us he can kicked off the team so its not going to be so bad."

Max just nodded with belief.

"True." he chuckled, "Do you want to practice now? Or wait till we get back to your place?" He asked.

"Lets wait back to my place. We will see if it works and if it does we will practice here cause if it doesn't work we'll be kicking up shit for nothing." I explained getting a nod from Max. "Oh dude do you mind bringing Claye to the library after math's?"

"Yeah man no problem." Max said with a smile, "He's a really nice guy." He said,

"Yeah dude. I really like him, do you think the rest of the team will be sweet with him sitting with us?" I asked,

"Dude, our team is like the least likely to be cruel to somebody, especially since he isn't weird and is actually a really funny dude." Max explained,

"I think we need to make sure Jack stays off his ass too." I said with a sigh, "You know what he's like with new people."

Max just sighed and nodded his head.

"Remember that flamboyant guy?" Max asked and I just winced remembering the beating that I had to rush in and stop. The pour otter left with a broken jaw and blood pouring down his face.

I was out raged that he wasn't expelled. I was in the principals office with my mum and we ended up getting the principal of that time fired. The new guy came in but because he was new, he couldn't do anything due to the stupid 'new guy new start' rule the system has.

Mum ended up going to court for the otters family free of charge and commission. But the fucker got off on Gay panic... I was so fucking pissed.

The Otters ok by the way. He found an amazing boyfriend and every so often the family come over for dinner. Trent is a very sweet guy and his boyfriend Carlson is a friggin awesome mechanic.

He and I spent a lot of our time getting to know each other while he and I fixed my car. Trent would come over sometimes and the amount of times they joked about a threesome aha! We always had a lot of fun together.

"Trent's doing a lot better now though." I reminded him which max nodded at.

"Yeah I know dude." He said with a sigh, "Just wish he didn't have to go to hospital for those three days."

"Believe me dude I wish it too." I said with a sigh, remembering all times I heard him cry, and scream in pain. I didn't leave the guy alone. He just moved Internationally and he only had his parents. The guy needed a friend. So I made sure the football team (minus the three douche bags that did it to him) at least went in to see him to see how he was doing.

"So do you think they will pick on him?" Max asked,

"I don't know man." I sighed looking over at the smiling mammal, his paw scribbling all over his page as he wrote. "He isn't a flaming gay... but they did pick on Shane. Then he kicked the shit out of them outside school and then he joined the football team to shove it in Jacks face.

Shane and I got very close very fast, and having him on the team has been awesome. He's an outstanding hooker and brilliant back up quarter back. I made him a promise on the semi-finals I would let him take quarter back as long as we weren't loosing.

"alright guys, its time to move on!" called out Mrs. Furt. "See you all tomorrow for a full rehearsal!" she called out,

"Alright. Just look after him till then yeah?" I asked Max who nodded his head.

"It's alright man." he said chuckling, "Do you like this guy or something?" he asked, I just chuckled and flipped him the bird as I slid down off the stage and after saying a quick bye to Claye I made my way to the Library to do my business certification. Which was a fun forty-five minutes of online reading.

The reading was getting really dull. I yawned a few times during the statistics section. When the bell rang I just kept reading. I was only a paragraph away from finishing so I just kept reading.

When the paragraph was finally done, I happily saved my progress and then shut the program down. I sighed and decided I should double check my work roster. As I was about to log in of course, a wild paper ball came flying at me, hitting me right in the maw.

It just kinda bounced off me, and I slowly turned to see two laughing animals that I smiled at kindly and then happily flipped them both off.

"Oh we are just having a laugh!" Max chuckled,

"Yeah god Emmet, don't be so rude." Claye said with a fake white girl tone.

"Hey, I'm driving to get you both coffee after these next two periods. so fuck you both." I said laughing. I then logged off and headed off with the two, being sure to grab my blazer on the way.

As we walked I slowly slid my Blazer onto my arms, laughing with the two as we walked. Only getting out of library.

"Hey Emmett." a familiar sultry voice said, making me slowly turn with a very nice smile.

"Christina." I said to the smiling wolf who was leaning against the wall, her friends all giggling as I made my way over. Smooth as always. "How are you doing?" I asked her,

"Not very good at all." she said, pouting gently as she sighed. "You see I'm not understanding these Math's questions at all." She said which just made me chuckle, and let me tell you why.

Christina Jacobson's was the top in Math's at the school. She has won awards for her Math's abilities, she was one of the popular girls and head cheerleader. We have had our nights together, and our brief dating period which she called off due to it not being a good time for her.

I was fine with it really, she wasn't in the right mind set and I wasn't going to force her into doing anything she didn't want to do. Still didn't stop her from wanting some fun now and then.

"Well I am sure I will be able to help you out there babe." I said with a soft wink, the girls behind her all blushing.

"Oh thank you Emmett." she said, stepping forward to hug me. I happily returned it and chuckled as she gave my cheek a soft peck. "Pick me up for dinner around eight?" She asked,

"Sure thing, Movie after?" I asked,

"Perfect." She murred, stepping back and heading off with her friends. "see you tonight." she said with a wink. I had to adjust myself to say the least. I just stood there for a few seconds watching that wolf work her hips for me.

"Damn..." I said to myself and turned to see Max nodding his head with the thumbs up, Claye looking quite impressed with me. "Smoothy McSmooth Smooth." I said getting a very annoyed groan from max.

"You're a twat." He groaned,

"He's getting laid, he can call himself what he wants." Claye laughed,

"Yeah!" I said giving Max a nudge, "Screw you man!" I laughed, Max turning and grabbing me at the waist to try and tackle me. I just kinda stood there as this one hundred and five KG leopard tried to move me. A one sixty KG Dalmatian.

I laughed as I reached down, grabbed him by the waist and pulled him up.

"Woah!" He yelped out, as I began to walk with him as he hung upside down. "Emmet put me down!" he yelled, laughing as he held his arms open in case he fell.

"What am I?" I asked him as he hung and whimpered while laughing.

"You're Smoothy McSmooth smooth! I'm sorry I doubted your smoothness!" He laughed, walking his paws along with me.

"You're damn right you are." I said moving him around as I held him, flipping him onto his hind paws.

"Never do that to me again!" Max laughed, Claye having to sit down he was laughing so hard.

"Never doubt my smoothness again then." I said, chuckling as I walked over to Claye and holding a paw out to him. "You right?" I asked, as he nodded his head. Wiping his eye while still laughing, the Sea lion took my paw; I smiled as I easily pulled him onto my hind paws.

"You're fucking hilarious." he laughed, taking in deep breaths to compensate for the air he was loosing.

I just smiled and shook my head as we continued along to the cafeteria
