Chapter 8 (never judge a book by its cover)

Madeline woke up the next morning her eyes heavy from crying the night before. She whipped her eyes and looked down to see that Gilbert was fast asleep in a little ball by her stomach. First it shocked her to see him so close to her but then she smiled and petted the top of his head. His eye opened slowly and and sat up licking his paw.

"Gilbert" she smiled and sat up He looked up at her without saying anything "im not going to go to school today"

'WHAT...' He mewed loudly 'miss goodie-2-shoes is skipping out, kesesesesesese' he laughed and fell onto his back

"Im not joking, im calling in sick then im going to the library" She said as she stood up and started going through her clothes.

"So your still going to learn when you don't want to' he stopped laughing and curled into a ball

"I want to break the spell Arthur put on you" She said as she pulled out a simple red t-shirt and some blue jeans.

'didnt you ask him when I had to leave?' He asked a hint of anger in his voice. Hating the fact the Arthur was alone with her.

"yeah i did but he wont do it unless i go out with him" Madeline said flatly. Waiting.

'WHAT, i'll...i'll claw his eyes out that dick he's already got your sister' he hissed and stood up quickly.

"i know .that's what i said but i guess ill have to find a way to change you back myself" SHe looked over at him and he jump off the bed to let her get dressed

=^.^=

Madeline came home with a bag full of books. Gilbert looked at her a confused look on his face. She put them down and moved her shoulder trying to make the pain of holding them so long go away.

"Here i got all the books we need" she smiled and started pulling them out.

'what do you mean by we?' Gilbert groaned as he made his way closer to her. 'im not reading anything, you're doing this yourself'

"Gilbert" she looked at him

"Madeline" he said mockingly back

"fine" She said as she walked away with a handful of books. Knowing that he would follow behind. Which he did. He was so cute.

He looked around the lunch room. Still no Madeline. He didn't see her in the morning and Amelia didn't seem to want to talk to him. He knew Madeline didn't talk to her about what he wanted last night he knew because of this spy polar bear. He hated it when sometimes it would turn real. His magic didn't always turn out the way he planned it to. He was going over a plan in his head how to get Madeline to be his. He had nothing at the moment he wanted to get rib of Gilbert somehow but he knew that Madeline would hate him for the rest of her life if he ever did a thing like that to him. He finally came to realize that turning him into a cat wasn't the best of plans it was only making matters harder to deal with. Because he could see that she was growing a liking to him. Then the idea finally hit him. He smirked. He stood up. That night he was going to cook up a storm.

Hours of going through the many books she had she still had nothing. Gilbert had tried but fell asleep shortly after reading about 2 pages of one of the books. She was laying on the bed going through the last book she sighed still having nothing then watched as a book fell of the bed she picked it up. The Frog Prince she looked at it confused. She didn't get this out of the library. She filpped through the pages already read the story when she was young but it didn't hurt to look through it again. SHe stopped and read the line about when the frog turned back into a prince when the princess kissed him. She looked over at the sleeping kitty. The idea running through her head

"Gilbert" She said. He didn't move she smiled and made her way closer to him "please dont wake up" She said to herself as she kissed the top of his head. She quickly moved back. Nothing happened, she watched as he shock his head and looked up at her.

"Madeline um" He started

"Y-Y-yes" She stammered

'nothing i was going to ask why are you blushing' he yawned and she put her hands on her cheeks. It was true she was blushing but why. She only kissed him on the head. 'Madeline you blushing a lot whats up are you sick?' he asked

"N-No im fine" she smiled and covers her face with a pillow. He moved closer to her and put his front paws on the pillow. SHe could feel her heart skip a beat.

"g-gg-g-Gilbert dont" She said as she covers her whole face with the pillow.

"You so cute" She heard him say and she didnt left her head.

"t-t-t-thank you"

=^.^=

She put all the books neatly back into the bag and put it over her shoulder. She got all the books for nothing. She looked at the time. School would be letting out soon and she personally didn't want to deal with walking past people she didn't want to see. She would have to take the long way to the library. She said goodbye to Gilbert and he only answered with rolling over on the couch. She lived close to the library only about a 8 minute walk from the school but since she had to take the long way she wasn't going to be able to feel her shoulder after.

10 minutes of walking she came to a stop at a light. She pulled the back off her shoulder and rubbed it. She had tears in her eyes because it hurt so much.

"Hey" Sounded a voice behind her. It was Francis. SHe was already having a bad day why was he going to have to make it worse.

"I said to wait come on dude" Yelled someone else it was Antonio. She froze and turned her body towards the light.

"hey look it's Madeline" Antonio said smiling bright. "Madeline!" He yelled eventhough she was right infront of them

"y-yes" she stammered and looked his way.

"Where you of to?" He asked

"im going to the library"

"No way we are to"

"No we arn't wh-" Francis started but Antonio elbowed him in the side.

"here let me take your bag for you it must be heavy" Antonio held out his hand. Why was he being so nice to her? Wasn't he a bad guy? A bully?

"N-no its fine why are you guys being so nice to me" She asked

"Why not! anyways we know each other pretty well" Antonio smiled 'no we dont' she thought to herself

"then let me hold your bag my flower" Francis said a smile on his face. She slowly gave the bag to him feeling unsure. Truthfully thinking he would run off with it. he put it over his shoulder nicely.

"Thank you" she smiled and started walking when the light turned red.

=^.^=

SHe was laughing so hard, She had taken the books back but decided to hang with the boys for a little longer. That little longer turned into an hour. And they sat at a near by McDonald's telling jokes and having a lot of fun. She found it funny because only a while ago she though all of them where no good scum. But no all of them seem to be good people. SHe learned the Francis was a part time painter and that Antonio had moved from from spain because on being bullied at his old school and that he had quite alot of money.

"thank you guys i have to go home now" she smiled and stood up

"Aw so soon?" Antonio complained

"you cant just leave with a good bye why not a hug or even a kiss" Francis smirked

"ill give you guys a hug" she laughed nervously.

=^.^=

She pushed open the front door and looked to find Gilbert standing by it

'your home finally' he mewed and looked up at her. 'what took you so long' she smiles and bent down petting the top of his head.

"im sorry mom" she laughed "i was out with your friends"

'my friends' he tilted his head

"yes Antonio and Francis" she giggles

'but why i thought you hated all of us?'

"you can't judge a book by its cover" she smiles. Hours passed as she chatted with Gilbert and her sister. The clock finally told her it was time to go to bed she closed her books and made her self ready for bed. She pulled the covers over her shoulders and yawned closing her eyes. Nope bad idea because she didn't know what was going to happen to her tomorrow

Cliffhanger ending! cancel on the questions im thinking that the story is going to get slightly boring soon because im losing intrest so its also going to end pretty soon maybe about 2 more chapter or more.
