Chapter One: Quin

"You are going to wear a hole right through my floor." Quincy said, not taking her eyes off of the comic book she was reading. The giraffe in front of her paused in his pacing.
"It's only been the first fay of school, and you're already failing two classes." he said worriedly, his ears pressing against the back of his head.
"You don't know that." Quincy replied calmly.
"You didn't do the class work."
"I know the material. It's just review."
"So?"
"So shut up." Quincy turned a page in her book and settled further into the pillows on her bed. "Honestly Noa, you worry too much."
The animal said nothing, just folded his legs under his great spotted body, occasionally throwing nasty looks at Quincy.
