Furry Adventures

Chapter five(5)

Morning. I woke up to feel something and it was all over my body. I got up, did my usual self clean up and prepared for school.

I stopped in my tracks as I looked at my mirror. "Black long hair, what does this mean? I want my normal hair back" I muttered.

I finished packing and picked my phone. I came out in time for my mum to ask, "are you eating?" "No I'm not. I'll just have a cereal bar, thanks. By the way I'm off to school!" I said, going out the door.

On my way, I saw Linda so I walked along with her. "Hope you're ready for today, I heard it's going to be pretty hectic" I replied with a nod of my head and luckily my hair was normal.

'Another incoming headache' I thought. At the moment I was about to cross the school gate, my school bag began to move like it had a life of its own.

"Hey! What's happening?!" I screamed as I tried to catch my school bag.

It flew till it entered my classroom window. "Oh no" I mumbled. As I got to class, my bag was on my seat with my classmates wondering why my bag flew into class.
I sat down, using a cap on my head in case my hair changed color. 'Don't freak out, it won't change' I thought.

I unzipped my bag and found Cribella in the side pocket. I immediately zipped my bag left the class, making my way to the toilet.

"Why are you in my bag?! In school! Were you the reason my bag flew?! Are you trying to get exposed?!" I shouted
"Alright, if you DON'T want to get exposed, I suggest you stop this yelling in the bathroom" she responded.
"I'm here in case your powers start acting up. I'm sure you know you still need my help in understanding the user guide, yes?".

I stared at her, not replying. I didn't want to get exposed, not like anything could happen but I was avoiding it mainly because I didn't want attention.

"Alright, but stop making my bag fly. I don't like dragging attention to myself" I replied. She looked at me and said "Seems you're more of the quiet type. It's okay, we're learning about each other. Well lemme let you know, you I love helping in any way I can because why not? It can never be too much right?"

I smiled at her and she sat back in my bag. I went back to class, still feeling the pressure of different stares. I simply sat down and brought out my notes.

"Hey, how are you?" greeted Charles as he slipped into the seat beside me.

"Aww your boyfriend" whispered Cribella
I ignored her.

"I'm okay Charles" I answered.

My chest began to feel like it was getting blocked and my breath suspended.
Then a small part of pink came out of my cap.

"Damn it my hair" I muttered
Charles looked at me , puzzled and asked "What's wrong with your hair?" My hair length was increasing slowly and it was now a shade of pink.

"Excuse me I need to leave" I told Charles and dashed out of the class. But Charles was hot on my heels.

I ran into the restroom, entered a stall and locked myself in. "Are you okay?!" called Charles from outside.

"I'm okay!" I responded "but don't come in! Don't worry, get back to class!"

I removed my cap and sure enough, my little brown pigtails had become big pink ones.
"I forgot my bag with Cribella in it!" I mumbled.

Suddenly a little head popped into my stall
"Hey hey! What's up?" She giggled, playing with my hair.
"This is going to be real troublesome. Why pink of all colors?"

She took out my phone(I don't know!) and began to tap it. "Hey! How did— "shush!" She said while tapping.

"Here" she handed my phone over.
There were a list of colors with different emotions and pink meant infatuation or love.

"Nope, that's a lie, not true" I stated. "It's so obvious you like Charles, why are you denying it?"
I stared at her quiet while my hair returned to normal.

"I'm going back to class" I mumbled. "Don't worry" she assured me "with time, you'll be able to control it"

I came out of the stall but was surprised to see Charles standing there, his eyes wide. I felt flushed, my cheeks burning red.
"What were you doing and who were you talking to?!" He questioned me

I stared at him, not knowing what to say or do. Trying to make a run for it was futile because we're in the same class.
"Um...........mm......" I stammered.

He just looked at me. "Are you sure you're okay? You were alright test but you've been acting so weird. First your bag flew into class. And your hair" he said, removing my cap, revealing my brown hair.

"There's something you're not telling me Lucy. You always trusted me, did I do something?" He asked.
I stayed quiet and looked at him

"Fine, don't answer. I'm heading back to class"......
