~^*B A C K S T O R Y*^~(Oh hey it's in her view) Once again,I'm alone on the playground. I don't mind though- I sit and read on a bench. Wings of Fire was one of my favorite series,and sometimes I get lost in one of the books. 'Hey!' The call aroused me from my book. 'Hm?' A kid with round specs(glasses) looked at me. He was known as the school nerd,he really liked books. Like me,he's pretty quiet. 'You reading Wings of Fire?' I nodded. To him,I was particularly interesting. If you didn't know already,I am a very large bat with a strange pattern and impressive wingspan. 'Yes. Do you also read it? It's an interesting series once you get to know all the characters.' He grinned. Under his spectacles,I saw a glint in his eye. He wrote down something in his notebook he caries around. 'I knew you could read! If you don't mind me asking- what species of bat would you be considered as if you were in the wild?' 'Fruit,' It was true-I was more of a 'fruit and not bugs' bat. 'Honestly,I don't know why other bats eat bugs or drink pig blood.' 'Well,' He wrote in his notebook again. 'bug-eating bats help with mosquito problems.' Just then,I was bit by a mosquito on my nose,and I sneezed so it flew off. 'Then I thank them for that.' 'Personally,I think mosquitoes should be more disliked then spiders or wasps,' We looked to the spot next to me. Casually sitting next to us was the 'popular-tough-guy.' He liked to push others around. I,surprisingly,wasn't a target. I was bigger than him,and my claws were curved. Maybe I looked tougher? I don't know. Awkward silence,then the bell rang for lunch. Slimy tacos and rotten-smelling potato wedges. I don't think they even try- they just throw whatever they think will make a meal,not checking if it's expired or not,and calling it 'fresh food'. The guy with specs gagged,the tough guy stuck his tongue out. He looked at me. 'You're lucky you don't get this garbage.' They don't serve me what the others have. They give me fruit salad and a granola bar,with a few fruits on the side. Compared to what the others have,they think it's the most complex meal in the universe. At the table,my wing claws were excellent forks,I stabbed whatever was in the salad and delicately ate it of my claw,and I had good grip on the side fruits. Opening the granola bar was a piece of cake. 'Whoa. Eating with 'thumbs',which is what your wing claws are,must be easy,' The nerd guy was struggling to keep hold of the slippery tacos. 'I wish I had those. This taco and my hands don't match.' I snorted. 'Those don't seem like the best eating supplies.' 'If they served actual food for us,we would actually be able to eat,' the tough guy's fingers were covered with taco meat and cheese,but his taco didn't even have a single bite out of it. 'This food isn't food at all. It seems alive.' After a while,the stench of the potatoes reached my nose,and I gagged. 'This nose is not fit for this situation known as 'moldy potatoes that need to be thrown away.'' 'Agreed!' That,was from multiple people who heard me. By now,everybody was used to me being a bat. The younger grade kids loved to climb onto me and sit in my thick upper fur,the others in my grade either ignored me or tried to find out more about me. Because of this,the teacher often brought me to the front to give a fact about being a bat. Everybody has been reading informational books on bats when the teacher says it's time to read a book of their choice. I read ghost stories and wings of fire,and other of what my teacher calls 'advanced books'. I excelled in every subject,but most of all... Biology. Not just animal and plant study,I also excel in entomology. Bugs are pretty interesting if you think about it. This is how it is every day.
