I knew it was a bad idea when he wanted to paint my portrait with mayonnaise, I think to myself. The bright purple walls make me feel like I’m trapped. The odd position I’m in, holding a basket of fruit with a book on my head and socks on my ears, hurts my back since I’m bent into a human “o.”

“Would you just hold still?” Madison asks. “This isn’t as easy as it looks.” He dips the feather into a jar of mayonnaise and begins dragging it across the paper. Then his stupid pet monkey comes into the room.

“Sean go away.” I tell the smelly creature. He doesn’t care and comes right over to sit next to me. I start coughing violently, threatening to fall with every move I make.

“Rya! You move one more time and I swear…” He takes this very seriously.

“Well if you’d make your stupid girlfriend leave me alone!” I shout at him, he glares at me.

“It’s my life. Not yours!” He yells back. “I chose to be a furry. Besides, she’s not my girlfriend anymore.” Maddy chose to be…different, but nobody knew why.
