just finished inputting my storys into the time line. and 26 pages so far! we might actually make the size of an actual book!

anyway, heres something i wrote with cora and riley because i still havent really written something like that. it doesnt need to be canon. be free to give feedback (well, i need feed back for all of mine :P)

Mr. smith came home today.

So you can just imagine what mood that put me in.

'''I had been sitting by the fireplace trying my best to finish the book Nik lent me. I got to say, I have definitely made some progress in my reading. It still youll me about 2 months while to finish 1 chapter, but turns out reading was really interesting. Especially with Niks help. Then the front door opened and in stepped Mr Smith.'''

“What are you doing?” He yelled.

“R-reading..”

“Don’t pull me leg, you don’t know how to read!” He laughed.

“A friend taught me…”

“Oh really?” He threw his bag down and stepped forward.

“What else did your “ friends teach you?!”

'''I didn’t want to answer. He had just insulted them right to my face. He then noticed my bow and quiver up on the dining table and smacked me right across the face. I dropped my book and hid my face, trying me best to gulp down my tears. '''

'''“Phht. Friends” he said mockingly as he went to his room and slammed the door. When I recovered I got up quickly and ran out the door. My face was red, partly from the slap, and partly because that’s what happens when I’m so mad I could cry. I ran towards the town square and hastily opened the doors to the mess hall. I went to the usual table and sat down angrily, all my thoughts running through my head. '''

'''Who does he think he is? I’m allowed to be able to read! Why did he get so mad! Why didn’t e teach me! And am I not allowed to have a bow and arrow? I have friends….im slowed to have friends...'''

'''At that moment people started coming into the mess hall. I saw my friends coming over. Nik waved. I looked for Red among them. She wasn’t there. When they approved I said, “where’s Red?”'''

'''“Out on a fishing trip with her dad” said Nik. I grounded. For some reason, Red was the person I needed to talk to right now. '''

“Is something wrong?” Said Riley.

“No, not at all, mind your own business.”

'''They all exchanged glances. Even I was a bit surprised at myself. I didn’t mean to say that, I wa just in a bad mood. Nik suddenly seemed to understand the situation. '''

'''“Do you have a fever?” Asked Newt. Obviously he didn’t.'''

'''“Whatever.” I said. I got up and left. When I was out of the mess hall, I felt really guilty, but honestly, I don’t know why I came. I love my friends, but what I need right now is some alone time. '''

'''When I was at the forest, I climbed a tree and sat in between the branches. I’ve been doing it since I was little, so it was easy. It was a good view. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I tried to drain out my anger. Suddenly I heard a voice that belonged to Riley. '''

'''“Cora?” I looked down and saw him right below me. He looked up and saw me in the tree.'''

“Is this where you go when you’re upset?”

I looked away.

'''He then climbed up the tree and jumped onto a separate branch next to me. '''

'''“I thought I wa the only one who went into the forest” he said half smiling. I sighed. I wasn’t angry anymore. I was just upset and confused. I didn’t want to be like this.'''

'''“Newt, Nik and I went looking for you. Newt and Nik went in separate directions, and I decided to look in the forest. So here I am.”'''

“Here you are..” I repeated looking down.

'''“So what’s bothering you?” I was quiet for a bit. “We’re here for you.” I looked up.'''

'''“Mr. smith came home today.” We were both quiet for a second.'''

“Was it bad?” Asked Riley.

'''“Well he said it was impossible for me to have friends and slapped me. It didn’t go well.” I said trying to smile.'''

We both sighed.

“Well, I get that he gives you a hard time, but at least you should be thankful to have someone watching over you I guess..”

'''“But why? Why does it matter to you.” I said, now trying to look him in the eyes.'''

“Because at least you have a parent.” He said.

'''I didn’t get it at first. But then it slowly came to me. I felt so bad. '''

'''“Oh my god Riley, I’m so sorry.i didn’t mean to offend you or anything…”I said apolitical. He chuckled.'''

'''“It’s ok Cora. You weren’t supposed to know anyway.” We were both quiet.'''

“We’re they good?” I said quietly.

'''“She. Was wonderful.” He replied quietly. We sat in the silence. I then hugged him, hoping to make him feel better. I didn’t mean to make him feel bad today. I released him and watched the sky get dark. I saw the sun leaving, to only come back the next day. I smiled. Riley looked up.'''

'''“I’ve been meaning to ask you. Why are you always smiling?” He asked.'''

“Because,” I said, “there’s always something to smile for.”
