My Cat...A Neko Boy?!

Number 4

[Lucie]

Oh god, shes home! What do I do? 

I take a side-glance at Rizka, thoughts rushing into my mind. Then without thinking I pick him up, put my hands under the bed and wait for the weight to lift. As soon as I feel him walk off my hands I jump up and sit in my chair. At that exact moment I hear the door open.

"Lucie~" Mum sings.

"Y-yeah?" I stutter, which causes her eyebrow  to rise.

"...Hmm. Anyway, I was thinking. I think maybe you deserve a cat. You've been dying for one." She announces, with a certain tone.

I feel as if theres a catch. But..

"No, its okay." I reply.

I cant have another cat! I have a few options here.

1) Tell her

2)Keep it a secret

3) Abandon Rizka

4) Tell her 

I scratch my head, I have to change his name since he sounds more like a girl. But what option. Number 3 is way out of the question. Number 2 could lead to very bad consequences. The best one seems to be number 1 & 4.

I snap out of my thoughts, then start to build up the courage to tell her. 

"Lucie?" Mum pokes at me.

"Huh? Wha?" I mutter looking at her. "Oh mum, I need to tell you something."

"What is it?" She asks, eyeing me carefully.

"Umm..well.." I mutter. 

".... You have a cat don't you Lucie.." She accuses, looking at me without blinking.

'Its only been one day. ONE DAY and shes already found out!' I mentally scream to myself.

I feel the sweat drops appear on my forehead. I then use my hand to fan myself.

"W-Well isn't it getting hot in here? Heh..he.." I laugh nervously.

"Lucie. Where is it?" My mum echoes.

I stop dead. 

'I'm sorry Rizka. But don't worry!' I think.

I walk towards my bed rather slowly, then peek under. Those innocent eyes stare at me. Its as if he understood the entire conversation.

"Come out, I'll keep you safe." I whisper, on the verge of crying.

I am so attached to him, yet I have no idea why. I just hope mum won't make me give him away. I look again and gasp when I  see him padding towards me. I crawl away from the bed and watch him majestically walk out, which caught my mums attention immediately.

"Huh? I've seen cats before but, hes different." My mum wonders out loud.

"So! Can I keep him!" I yell, full of hope unlike a minute ago.

"No."

"But why?" I ask.

"Its since you're irresponsible!" My mum retorts.

I giggle, "Me? irresponsible? Pah!"

"Lucie, come down and help with the cooking!" She yelled.

"Yeah I will." I replied loudly.

With that statement, I resumed to watch Yumikui Merry.

'As if I would, things getting interesting here!" I thought.

***

"Remember." Mum presses.

"That was, the only one time you know. I've been so responsible before..."

"Really now? Well I'll give you one chance Lucie." Mum teases.

"Seriously! I can have him?" I say happily.

I feel the spark in me light up, But I cant help it. She is hiding something...

"Yes. But..."

Oh I knew it. There is a catch after all.

"You have to make new friends. Or a friend. If you can make one." She continues.

I could feel my jaw drop down.

"SERIOUSLY?" I choke. 

I calm myself down, then try to stay composed.

"Mum. I cant make any friends. If I do, they'll get weirded out..." I murmur.

"Your point? Its the only way you can keep it after all." She grins.

I sigh.

' I was known as the social outcast. How in Tsubaki's perfection am I going to make a friend?!'

"At least I said a friend, not a boyfriend." She laughs, stepping outside my room.

"Why? Since I have no chance?" I glare at her, pretty hurt.

"No. I'm afraid that if a boy confesses to you, you'll reject them. Thanks to your fictional crushes."

That's understandable. I glance at her again and spot her walk out the door, then the door close.

"Nyu?" A noise appears.

I look down at the fluffy ball that was curled up. I then start to stroke his lush fur, a tear of utter joy rolls down my cheek. My heart is going to burst with happiness!

"You can stay with me!" I grin.

As if responding, he purrs.
