"Good job, Mizutan!" He clapped.

Mizutan carried me to the front of the class, where the other children were sitting like in an army formation. I was placed in front of her, next to a white-furred cat with one orange spot covered its right eye. 'How the hell did this happen?' I asked myself. "Hey, hey. Look the stranger cat joined us." The brown cat said. The rest of the cats laughed. I rolled my eyes.

"Nee, where did you come from?" An orange cat asked me.

I shrugged, "Outside."

"How did you end up in here?"

"Curiosity." I replied curtly. Well, there was some truth in there.

"Curiosity is dangerous. Nee, I sense you're not an ordinary cat." I looked at the orange cat. It was sitting two rows in front of me, facing a dark green-coloured hair boy.

"What are you talking about?" I said, acting uninterested and innocent.

"You have a different scent for some reason. You have a scent of a cat, but something else too."

"Whatever." I looked at my human partner and she was staring at me hard, concentrated. I sweat-dropped. "You're right, this is awkward." The cats sniggered.

"If the cats seemed agitated, just stroke it and it will calm down." The teacher said. Yeah, that's stupid. I looked around and saw some cats were being stroked and caressed by their human partners, and it worked. My jaw dropped. What the hell is this? We're being used for human experimentation! This is unacceptable- ahh that feels nice... The girl was stroking me and scratching under my chin. Damn it! I bared my teeth, annoyed. I stared back at the girl's face: a round face, with a button nose and big brown eyes. Her neat bangs covered her small forehead and her hair was tied in low pig-tails. I frowned, trying to remember her features. Then I saw a magic circle appeared under the girl and she began transforming. I watched her body engulfed in bright yellow light, then the light slowly disappeared, and I was staring at my own cat-face. I backed away a little, shocked at looking at my own image.

"Cat! How did I do? Did it work?" She picked me up and looked me in the eye. I gave a weak nod. 'This is seriously weird. I mean it's alright seeing transformation magic but seeing my own face like that, no man, that's just weird.' I thought to myself.

The other cats started giggling and the cat next to me whispered, "Weird huh? You'll get used to it."

I shrugged. "Who says I'm staying?" I said, making them shut up.

"Well done everyone, this is it for today's class. You are dismissed." The bald, long ass bearded teacher said.

Mizutan placed me back down on the floor and I looked up at her face again, and suddenly I felt magic coursing through my body and saw a magic circle appeared under me. 'Shit, off! No, don't activate.' I stopped the magic before it could progress and heard gasps around me. I looked around. Only the cats noticed it. I breathed a sigh of relief, well at least the humans were not suspicious. I looked straight and forgot Mizutan was still there, sitting in front of me with wide eyes and her mouth open in the shape of an O. 'Shit. She saw it.' I thought and with that, I scrambled out of the classroom, as fast as I could. I ran down the stairs too fast that I tripped and fell rolling forward like a wheel. I landed flat on my face shook my head and saw the classroom door opening slowly and I quickly ran outside. I hid in the bushes, heart thumping madly. 'Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! What the hell happened? How? Wait, why did that happen? I couldn't control my magic for a moment there, what the fuck?' It's like, it just happened, I didn't even command, or will it to happen. It just happened. It just freaking happened. I let my heart slow down a bit and started to think more clearly. Well, at least the other kids didn't see it because it happened really fast. So, only the cats, which are harmless, and that girl saw. It's only one girl, it can't be that bad. I mean if she was gonna tell someone, they'll just say she's crazy, or has a good imagination, right? I shrugged at the thought. 'Yeah, that's ok. I'm ok.'

After I calmed down, and the school was cleared of children, I stepped out of the bush and walked home to my shed. I still had the adrenaline rush, so I decided to stop at the marketplace and steal something to make use of that adrenaline. I went over to inspect the jewellery stand. Women crowded around, busy haggling to notice me. I crawled under the stand and managed to evade from getting kicked by the seller's large feet. There was a shorter table next to him, containing more sorts of jewellery. I stood on my hind legs and placed my paws on the table.

A necklace caught my attention: it was a simple gold chain with a dream catcher pendant. It looked like a wheel with feathers hanging down from it. That is cool. I liked it. Luckily, it's right at the edge of the table. I looked at the seller, occupied with the hagglers, so I took my chance. I opened my mouth and put my right canine tooth on the table, with the gold chain in between. I dragged it until a part of the chain hanged off the table. Then, I gripped the chain and hooked it in my lower canine tooth. Unfortunately, the pendant was a little heavy, and causes the whole necklace to fall to the ground. 'Argh, my tooth!' I cringed. I shook my head and picked up the pendant itself with my teeth and crawled under the stand. I went to the secluded alley and transformed into my normal self. Then, I heard a familiar slight high-pitched and childish voice behind me. "Wow, you weren't a real cat."
