On the way home from school, my feet dragged across the dusty pavement. Rocks flew when kicked. The heat rose from the ground like there was an invisible fire burning below me. I couldn't wait to get home. To get away from bustling school.
I was still thinking about the cat. The same questions came into my head. It haunted me. I remembered the cat's reaction to me. It was startling!
MEOW!
Wait... was that the cat?
I look up and see the same feline again! This time it steps towards me and brushes it's body against my leg. The white and brown fur feels soft and light. It purrs so much that it lies on the floor and rolls around, determined to get me to give it a tummy rub.
Meow.
I think it's trying to speak to me. Purring, the cat slides it's paws through the dust and creates shapes. Numbers? No letters! It started with M, then A. 4 letters later the word was finished. It said "Magico". Magico? The cat's name is Magico! MAGIC!
MEOW!
I couldn't believe it! The cat's name means magic and it can spell! I pick the cat up by the stomach and carry it home. This cat is special. More special than any cat in the world!
