ARA'S POV
THIS IS. THE. SWEETEST.TASTING.SPAGHETTI. EVER!
AND I LOVE IT!
My eyes widened as the sweet and meaty taste of the spaghetti hit my tastebuds.
I'm now sitting on a bench at the very back of the school where I am completely isolated from any human interaction, swinging my feet back and fourth as I enjoy the food that Kuya Apollo gave me earlier.
Meow.
Oh! Right! I'm not completely alone!
"I'm so sorry kitty, here eat some more" I respond to the royal call of meow as I feed the gray furball more of the spaghetti we've been sharing for the last two minutes.
Mas masarap talagang kumain pag may kasalo. Buti nalang at sinamahan ako nitong napaka cute na kuting!
Hindi ko alam kung saan siya nanggaling o kung may may-ari ba sa kanya, bigla lang kasi siyang sumulpot nung dumating ako dito. She's so friendly! Lumapit siya kaagad at nagpalambing sakin nung nakita niya 'ko, and now I can't get enough of her! She's so fluffy, and small, and cute!
After what seems like forever of me eating and feeding her alternatively, I stood up from my sit securing the box of spaghetti that is now empty and putting it inside my bag for me to throw it later sa garbage, wala kasing malapit na basurahan dito considering the fact na medyo malayo na ito sa mga classroom and it's like a little forest na.
I then opened the lid nung binigay ni Kuya Apollo na Yakult, the first sip was heaven! I can't remember the last time I drank one. Kaya kahit na with the doubt of me not really owning this, at nagkamali lang yung ate kanina, I can't help but be selfish for once and drink it.
After finishing the Yakult, I started walking back home. I gave the kitty cat one last hug and waved.
Kahit na gaano ko kagustong dalhin ang pusa I know I cannot, someone might own her, Isang pader lang kasi ang pagitan ng school at mga kabahayan dito. I cannot take her away from home and her owner will be devastated if she go missing. So, kahit na leaving the kitty makes me sad I have no choice but to leave.

Kaya pala umuwi na rin kaagad si Kuya Apollo kanina kasi wala na pala kaming pasok after. Apparently, there is a meeting for the Profs. and staffs hanggang mamayang hapon kaya there are no classes.
I was approaching the exit gate when I felt like someone is following me. I know you might think na it's just normal considering na I'm at school at madami talagang estudyante, but no. As I said, kanina pa after lunch na announce na wala ng class so the students then left the premises afterwards, Why did I decided to stay and eat? Because I don't like walking during rush hours, I'm not a good walker in public, It's always either I bump into someone or I trip. And I don't wanna do that in front of many people.
After specifically ten steps outside the gate, hindi na ako nakatiis so I turn around to see who's the culprit.
My eyes widened, when I didn't see just anyone but the cute furball trying to catch my steps.
My heart melted at that.
I guess it's just right if I end her suffering and carry her, right? Baka wala naman talagang may-ari sa kanya diba? If meron then why would she be starving? Why would she follow me diba?! A cat's loyalty is only to one, I think I have been chosen by the Cat distribution system, at ang Pag tanggi ay Mali!
I think we all agree :).
Not wanting the Cat to tire itself, agad ko itong kinuha at binuhat na parang baby.
