Pet School: The Biggest and The Boldest

Chapter 25: Blueberry and Her Weird Things

Cindy's POV
I'm sitting with Stewart. Both of us, our friends can't sit with us. So we sat next to each other. "Has Zane come up to you and your friends recently?" He asked me. "Umm.... Just him?" "Just him." Did he? If he did, why was it so important to Stewart? "Don't think so. Unless I wasn't there." Stewart had a sigh of relief. "Why?" I shot back. He looked at me for a mere second wide eyed and blinked. He wasn't expecting a 'Why?', I could tell. He gave a big sigh. "Zane's trying to get Elton and I a girlfriend. Because we're the only ones in the group without one. He's approached Blueberry at some point or another I know." He explained. I'm sure Zane means well. He was the first one out of his friends to get a girlfriend - Cloud. Everyone calls them the white fluffy dog couple. Because they're both white fluffy dogs. Cloud's a Pomeranian and Zane's an American Eskimo. "Hello." Atlas poked his head through the gap between Stewart and I's seats. "Hi?" I said confused. I mean, why was he sticking his head through the seat gap? He held out his paw. Two spicy candies. "Zane told me to hand these to you two. He's giving them out on the bus. Massive bag of them." Stewart took them from his our and Atlas poked his head out. "One's for you. Which one?" He asked me. Lime and Kimchi Fire or Ghost Pepper Maximo? "I'll take the Lime and Kimchi Fire, please." He handed it to me and we both popped the candies in our mouths. I taste the lime. oh and the spice. Stewart was making faces all over the place. "What's your favorite?" I asked him randomly. "Buffalo Chicken Spice." He replied. "That one sucks, Stewart!" We heard Bailey. Eavesdropper. Stewart rolled his eyes. I chuckled. I love it when someone does that to Bailey. It just feels funny to me. I don't know why. Stewart and I had a good conversation. We talked about the midnight feast, Simba, dramas, food at camp and everything you can imagine about camp. Stewart's fun to talk to. "Who do you reckon is the next couple?" He asked me. I was not sure actually. Latest one has been Amber and Cosmo - they're unofficially official but no one actually knows what that means. Besides them of course. "I honestly don't know. Maybe Blueberry?" Stewart looked at me weirdly. "Why do you think Blueberry?" He asked me. Should I tell him? Will I be betraying Blueberry's trust? "Well. Blueberry likes someone." It's true. He looked intrigued. "Who?" But that's the thing, I don't know who. She only told Artemis, Arthur, Mishka and I she had a crush but she didn't tell us who it was. "Wait- I think I know who it is!" Stewart said. I looked at him puzzled. "Who?" "Bailey of course! Everyone knows that. I don't think they're getting together though. Bailey's dating Gypsy... so yeah." I don't think it's Bailey. "It's not Bailey. Well I don't think so." Stewart laughed. "Maybe you're right. You know her better than me that's for sure!" All I know is it's probably not Arthur or Bailey. Her old crushes. When we arrive back at school I run to my friends. "Blueberry can you please tell us your crush?" Artemis brings up. Thank you Artemis. "Yeah. We promise we won't tell anyone!" Arthur reassured her. "Sorry guys but I'm afraid not." She said smiling. "C'mon! Just a hint!" I begged. "He's a boy and a cat." We all groaned. She kept smiling. "When'd you start liking him?" Mishka asked her. "Week 5 in Term 1. I told you guys about it in week 6 in Term 1. A week later." She replied to Mishka. "I don't know why you can't trust us." Artemis said. Blueberry wasn't smiling anymore. She looked frustrated. "Listen! I don't want to tell anyone at the moment, is that so hard? If you guys are my friends, you would respect that!" She said. "We're sorry." Arthur apologized on behalf of all of us. "I know you are." She said calmly. "Anyways never mind that! Check this out!" She whipped out a frank green from her backpack. It was a light blue on the bottom with a light yellow on top. "You got a frank green?" I said. "Yeah! Do you guys like it?" We stood in silence. "I think the real question is, are you trying to be like Aina, Amber, Delilah and all that?" Mishka said with some humor. We all burst into laughter. "No! Of course not!" Blueberry said, also laughing. "Anyways, you guys like my lip gloss? Or my fur care? Shiny, right?" She asked giving us a close up of her face. "A what and a what what? What, what,  what what?" Artemis said. We all brushed into laughter again. Blueberry's strange, but that's why we love her!
