This is my first day back at school. A day passed by and I haven't heard anything from the boys.
When I got home last night, I got a thorough check from Mom and was hugged half to death by my brother. My cat Calli wouldn't leave me alone and the dog would always lick my hand if it was on my side.
In other words, I was loved.
Right now, I'm grabbing my pink and leopard print lunch box and walking to the lunch tables.
I landed on my doorstep. I ride to school and back on my razor. I took the helmet off and unlocked the door with my keys.
I rolled the razor inside. I put it by the entrance, took off my backpack, and ran upstairs to the loft with my homework.
Calli said hi, waiting for me on the loft. She's pretty much as smart as me because we actually do my homework together. She likes to, somehow. In fact, she's almost book smart enough to tutor elementary school kids!
Anyways, I pulled out my binder with all the shit I had to do in it.
"This sucks," I said to Calli.
She nodded in agreement. She poked at one of the math problems and showed me how to do it.
"It's 2? Doesn't look like it should be 2."
She meowed in my face.
"OK OK, it's 2,"
She smiled as I jotted down the method and 2.
"Math sucks," I complained.
Calli didn't hear me. She hopped off my desk and turned on the computer. She typed in my password.
YES SHE CAN TYPE AND YES SHE KNOWS MY PASSWORD! DON'T QUESTION ME!
But she can't click. She prodded her nose at the Microsoft Word icon.
"Word?"
I clicked it and a blank sheet of paper showed up.
Calli moved in front of the keyboard and slowly typed, 'Izm'.
I realized something. I shoved my homework to the side and started typing and typing and typing.
I pressed print. Calli sat next to me smiling. She meowed.
"No, not in person. But in animal! Black panther?"
She nodded vigorously. She stuck out her tongue playfully.
I smiled back.
I took the finished paper from the printer and folded it into three columns. I grabbed a pen and wrote on the top, 'Izm' in my prettiest cursive.
My mom grows some flowers in the backyard, including roses. I went outside and plucked two beautiful red ones about the same size.
I went into the garage and peeled off the large thorns. I peeked into the artsy-fartsy box next to the washing machine and pulled out thick silver ribbon.
I tied a bow on the roses and cut off the excess with my claws.
I looked outside again and noticed that the sun was almost down. A beautiful sunset skirted the hills.
This was the perfect time to 'deliver' the note. I'll work with my homework later.
"Bye Calli, I'll be back before the stars come out!"
She nodded once and watched me run out the door as a black panther.
