Human Hands and Cat Paws

Chapter 4

When I got to the principal's office there was a guy there with red eyes and a black and grey checkered hood over his head of dark grey hair. As soon as I opened the door he glared at me and then smiled.

"Hey you're that new Copy Cat kid aren't you?" He asked.

"Yeah," I slightly laughed.

"You're probably not good with people's attention, but you're gonna get a lot soon. Anyway, I'm Milton, but my friends call me Tony," he smiled as he held his wrist in pain.

"I'm Keston, are you ok?" I asked.

"Yeah, some kid bumped into me this morning and then this cut on my wrist appeared," he looked at his wrist.

"That's odd," I said as a guy with a stocky build came out of the principals office, wearing a nice suit.

"Milton Sart, please come with me," the guy ordered.

"Coming Prince Hill," Tony said as he followed the guy into the principal's office.

"Prince Hill? That's probably the principal of the school," I started talking to myself.

"Pssst," I heard someone whisper.

"What?" I looked around as I saw a guy with grayish blue hair and purple eyes hiding behind the door.

"Wanna get out of the principal's office?" He asked.

"Yes," I sighed.

"Then listen to me and do exactly what I say," he said, "oh and by the way I'm Bernardo, my friends call me Bear though."

"I'm Keston, ok what do I do?" I asked.

"Walk up to the vice principal and complement her outfit, then ask if you could go back to class," Bear instructed.

"Ok," I nodded as I walked over to a lady with brown hair and brown eyes that was wearing a nice suit.

"What do you want Copy Cat?" She asked snobbishly.

"Oh, I was just over there admiring your nice suit from afar," I said as I looked at her suit in awe.

"Oh, really," she blushed as she put her hand on her suit.

"I didn't do anything so could I go back to class," I asked eagerly.

"Why of course. No one as splendid as you could have done anything," she smiled as I left.

"Nice work Keston," Bear smiled as he ran off.

"Ossy, to the class," I ordered.

"Follow me," he said as we walked down the hallway until we found the class.

"Hey Copy Cat," I heard a voice call.

I turned around to see a kid with dark brown hair and pink eyes with a mask over his mouth, and said, "what!"

"Come on you really think Mrs. Vander would let you in that easily?" He asked.

"I didn't plan that far," I sighed and slightly smiled.

"Come on, she hates when people get out of the principal's office. Want to have dune while we wait for the next class?" He asked.

"Sure," I shrugged.

"I'm Skeleton, but people call me Skele," he looked like he smiled.

"I'm Keston," I said.

"Hurry up and follow me," he said as he ran down the hall.

"Come on Ossy," I said as I followed Skele down the hallway.

"He really is a dumb cat," Ossy said as he ran after me.
