Firepaw at Forestcreek

Chapter 1
Firepaw gazed up at the bright,blue sky.He switched his focus to the huge building in front of him.A large,forest green sign stood next to the entrance.In big,broad brown writing it said:

FORESTCREEK ELEMENTARY AND HIGH SCHOOL

Next to the words the picture of a cat shone proudly in the morning light.A few kids wandered the sidewalks near the school.Firepaw took a deep breath,adjusted his backpack,and went inside.

Chapter 2
The long, gray hallway was crowded with high school kids.Firepaw felt overwhelmed as he shuffled through.Every now and then someone would mutter “Watch where your going" or “Hey,your stepping on my foot!"

Firepaw finally found his way through.The lockers where a dull gold-gray color.

“Your new,aren't you?"Firepaw spun around to face a tall kid.

He had brown hair and gray eyes and was wearing a gray tee shirt with blue jeans.He had a friendly grin on his face and seemed eager to meet Firepaw.

“I'm Graypaw."

Firepaw tried to smile,but it ended up lopsided after being nervous he wouldn't make any friends.

“Yeah I'm n-new...u-um...I'm Firepaw."he stammered,trying to sound calm.

Graypaw just smiled.“Well,Firepaw,were you having trouble finding your locker?"Firepaw nodded.“Has anyone told you about the Shadows?"

Firepaw stood there,dumbfounded.“what do you mean,told me about the shadows?"

I'll take that as a no.The Shadows are tough.Some of the strongest football players are Shadows.I'm a Thunder,and the Thunders and Shadows are enemies.You should meet Blue-"he broke off as a tall girl strode into the hall.

She had deep blond hair and beautiful blue eyes.Her shirt was sky blue and she wore black boots.She had an air of authority over her,like a cloud.

A muscular boy,not much younger than her,followed.He had a menacing stare and wore a forest green jacket.Down one arm was the Forestcreek mascot-the bobcat.He was a terrifying person.

“This is Bluestar and Tigerclaw"Graypaw told Firepaw.Firepaw didn't need to be told which was which.Tigerclaw was a menacing name to go with a menacing person.
