luckykit 11- Ill put Luckypaw in! I'll just show a little bit of her in this chapter, since when I got your review I was half way done with writing it xD Sorry it's a short one guys! ;)
It had been 5 days after Thanksgiving, and sadly, it was Tuesday, which meant school… and seeing Jade. Lionpaw quickly got dressed and ate breakfast, leading the way out to the school bus at 8:00. As he walked down the isle, he bumped into a pretty she-cat.
"Oops, sorry! I'm so clumsy." She mused, squatting down to pick up her dropped items.
"Sorry… who are you, anyway? I've never seen you before." Lionpaw frowned.
"I'm Quinn Hampton, my family and I just moved here from Pocosin, Virginia." She meowed sweetly.
"Oh.. interesting name. I'm Lionpaw." He meowed, googling at her pretty golden brown hair and ice blue eyes.
She giggled, sitting in a seat. "I wish I had a Warrior name. You see, My dad was a kittypet for just a little bit when he was younger, his name is Henry, and my mother was Warrior-born, her name is Icepelt."
"Oh, cool. My grandpa was a kittypet."
"Awesome! I wish I could have a Warrior name, though. Every time I say my name is Quinn cats look at me like I have two heads!"
Lionpaw laughed. "It's a pretty name. Sometimes I wish I could have a kittypet name like Drake or Cameron or something."
"Cameron suits you." She nodded, smiling.
He was silent for a moment before asking, "What's your first class?"
"Cloudtail's Social Studies." She responded lightly.
"I'm in that class too!" Lionpaw said, maybe a little too excited.
"Cool!" She grinned.
"We might get separated though… you should come find me at lunch." He smiled.
"Okay, sounds great!" She smiled back. As the bus stopped, she stood.
"I really wish I could hang with you, but I've gotta go get my locker set up. See you in class!" She waved goodbye and hurried off the bus. Lionpaw felt a shove on his right side.
"Ooooh, Lionpaw's in love!" Hollypaw laughed.
"Shut up! I am not!" He hissed, lifting his book bag from the floor and following his siblings off the bus. He groaned as he Jade waiting at the front of the school.
"Hey, remember me?" She asked, grabbing his shoulder as he went by.
"How could I forget?" He said sarcastically, her dark brown eyes boring into his own.
"Meet me at lunch. Come find me." She growled before stalking off into the school.
"NO! I can't, I-" He trailed off as she got mixed in with the crowd. What was he gonna do!? He liked Quinn so far, but Jade would probably injure him if he didn't go sit with her. I'll figure this out at lunch. He silently decided and headed into the school.
By the time lunch rolled around, Lionpaw luckily hadn't gotten in trouble, and was almost running to the cafeteria. After getting his food, he found Quinn sitting at a table by herself. He joined her.
"Hey."
"Hi!"
"So how have things been so far?" He asked, sitting on the other side of the table across from her.
"Great!" She smiled, taking a bite of hamburger.
"Lionpaw." The golden tom whipped around as he heard an angry sounding voice. Jade.
"You're supposed to come sit with me, remember. Who is this?" Jade stormed over, motioning sharply at Quinn, who looked scared.
"No one, just.. a friend." He replied awkwardly. Jade stared at him with anger smoldering in her eyes for a moment before stomping away.
"I-if you were supposed to be with her, go on." Quinn stuttered.
Lionpaw shook his head. "Nah, I'm not supposedto be."
"Oh.. .alright." The rest of lunch was eaten in awkward silence until Quinn got up to throw away her left overs, and handed Lionpaw a small piece of paper.
"Call me sometime after school." She smiled and walked away, leaving a bewildered Lionpaw holding the piece of paper in his hand. The bell ran and he hopped up, hurrying back to his locker so he could get back to class.
By 3:00 Lionpaw couldn't wait to get out of school. Between half of the 7th grades' girls hanging around him, plus having to see Breezepaw, the dark forest, and homework, he was ready to go home and lock himself in his room for the remainder of the night. AS he approached his locker, he saw a bright yellow post-it note stuck on the front.
It read: Grandma and I are both busy after school today, and Hollypaw has a student council meeting, and Jaypaw has a medicine thing he's doing with . You'll have to walk home by yourself today. Be safe. –Firestar
Lionpaw happily crumbled the note and stuffed it into the pocket of his backpack before hurrying outside. At least he wouldn't have to wait for his siblings this time. Lionpaw decided not to go by the Dark Forest today, and took his usual route.
As he neared his house, he saw a familiar car, but couldn't quite put his finger on who it was. Entering the house, he saw Cloudtail, Brightheart, their newest babies, and a bright white she-cat he didn't recognize.
"Lionpaw! C'mere!" Sandstorm yowled at him. He hurried over.
"This is Luckypaw, Cloudtail and Brightheart's oldest daughter." Sandstorm motioned to the shy looking she-cat on the couch.
"Hi…" He meowed awkwardly. He had heard of her, but why hadn't he seen her before.
"You may not remember her, but she hasn't been around since last year, and we had never visited since she was a baby. We sent her to a primary school in Vermont. But we're moving closer now ,and she'll be attending Lakeshore Middle School in your grade tomorrow!" Brightheart explained excitedly.
"Oh… cool." He replied awkwardly again.
"Lionpaw, why don't you go show Luckypaw your room?" Sandstorm commanded him more than suggested, and Lionpaw began to lead the way upstairs. He opened the door to his room and shut it after she entered.
"Wow… your room is huge!" She smiled, looking around.
"Yeah… I have to share it with my two siblings." He responded quietly.
"Oh...I have my own room, for now. When Pinekit and Cherrykit get older I'll have to share with them, probably."
"So.." Lionpaw meowed after a minute in silence.
"What's your middle school like?" She asked.
"You want the truth, or the sugar coat the adults are going to tell you?"
She frowned. "Truth..?"
"It's a dump, Luckypaw. The teachers are jerks, we get tons of homework, the P.E. teachers work you to the bone and lunch is usually disgusting."
She widened her eyes and nodded a little. "I'll.. try my best." She replied awkwardly. They sat insilence for two more minutes until Cloudtial yelled up to Luckypaw.
"C"MON LUCKYPAW, TIME TO GO!"
"Well… see you tomorrow!" She smiled sweetly and waved goodbye.
Lionpaw flopped down onto his bed and snorted as she left. He was gonna have to be the one to show her around probably. He soon started to do his homework, getting lost into the equations and grammar correcting papers.
So who do you think Lionpaw should get with? Jade? Quinn? Or should he go back to Cinderpaw? Tell me in a review! It's up to you!
