This choice: Control yourself, and get to school! • Go Back...Chapter #7Control yourself, and get to school! by: Builder55   You shake your head and try and clear your mind, it works but your not sure for how long. Andy looks at you again curiously as you walk up to your car and get inside, with him getting into the passenger seat. He places his bag down on his lap, and pulls on his seat belt, you couldn't help but look over at him again before turning on the car. The drive to school was a long one, much longer than what you remember, though you were lucky the traffic going there was pretty light. The thoughts of your newly changed brother still fresh on your mind.
You turn to Andy, who seems to have been looking out the window, his ears perked up. "Hey, do you remember that time, we played hide and seek." You ask him, seeing if the change is as complete as is appears.
Your fox brother turns to look at you, his brow arch's up a moment before thinking. "Of course, what I remember most of all are the times I managed to sneak right up on, and you weren't any the wiser." He snickers at that, the glint in his eyes taking on a mischievous shine.
"Oh yeah, of course Andy, but there's been plenty of times I found you!" He pouts playfully at that mention and shrugs.
"Well, I can only hide in bushes so well, with red-orange fur, you know that, besides I let you find me a few times." He smiles, and looks at you for a moment.
"Are you sure you are okay Jesse?" He tilts his head, worry creeping into his voice.
You briskly nod at him and smile gingerly, or at least try to with out looking on any longer at his furry form. "Yeah I'm fine!"
When the next light came up, you had to adjust your pants again, the school wasn't that much father now, and you made sure to take note of any pedestrians reactions to your brother. Everyone around there seemed to be familiar with him, waving his or your way as they walked and you drove past. You were really starting to wonder if you were the only one that remembered things any differently.
When you stop the car again to look at your brother, you catch him trying to sneak another peek at you, adjusting his shorts this time again before he finally notices you looking. He freezes and turns his head away, and you choose not to say anything about that.
"Andy, you been working out or anything?" You ask, trying to break the current silence.
He turns his head back, after peering at the school getting closer, and you pull into the parking lot. "Oh yeah, I have been a bit, though I'm told I have quite a bit more growing to do, you might end up looking up at me before long, Jesse."
You park the car and freeze a moment, only to hear the door open and your furry brother slip out and stand there. "Don't worry, big bro, I'll try not to embarrass you in front of your friends."
You sit there, those thoughts of your brother still on your mind, and your left wondering what to do, some space from Andy would give you time to think, but he's still your brother, and he's supposed to be shadowing you.
Turning to him again, he pipes up...   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
