Not You Again

Chapter 12

The last bell had just rung. School was officially over for the day. Bridgette couldn't help but feel paranoid that something was off. As everyone was leaving the classroom, she was still packing up her stuff. Melodie went to go talk to Ms. Bustier about her grades or something, she wasn't sure. Her mind kept wandering off throughout the day.

After school, Melodie went over to Bridgette's house to play with Tikki. About an hour later, Bridgette had a feeling like she forgot something. "Oh my gosh, I think I left my math notebook in my locker!"

"You sure?" Melodie asked while she used a cat teaser toy on Tikki.

Bridgette went through her backpack to double check. "Yeah, it's not in here. I need it because it has my notes in it," she sulked.

Melodie picked up her smartphone to check the time. "Well it's 5:26. I think the school should still be open and after school activities should still be going on. Your place isn't that far. You wanna walk over there now?" She offered.

"You wouldn't mind?" Bridgette would feel bad if she made her friend walk with her back to the school.

"Nah. Ooh, can we take Tikki with us?" Mel asked with a mischievous grin.

"Uhh, I don't think cats are allowed on the school grounds. Also, she just ran off the other day, I don't know if I want to risk it again."

"Well don't you have a leash or something? Like, just in case?"

"True, but I STILL don't think pets are allowed on school grounds," she chuckled.

"Okay, how about I wait outside with Tikki while you run in and grab your notebook? I don't feel like leaving this cutie behind," Mel cooed as she kissed Tikki's cheek.

"Mrow."

"See? She agrees with me," Mel giggled.

"Okay, we'll take her with us," Bridgette gave in, "but keep her on her leash," she warned.

"Hooray!" She held Tikki up like the monkey did in the Lion King. Both girls stood up and Bridgette walked over to her desk to find her cat's leash. It was pink to match Tikki's collar. They went downstairs to tell Bridgette's parents of their plan. Afterwards, they were on their way back to school.

Melodie held Tikki in her arms and had her leash wrapped around her wrist. "Now all I need is a pair of huge sunglasses, some heels, and I can look like Chloe Bourgeois."

Bri giggled, "The model Chloe?"

"Of course! Who else?" Chloe Bourgeois was 23 years old and one of the most popular models known around. Melodie idolized her. Bridgette, however, thought she was okay. Chloe was the Mayor's daughter so it didn't take long for her to gain popularity. Bri was more into celebrities who donated and volunteered at charities, like Adrien Agreste.

Bridgette debated on asking Felix for his older cousin's autograph before in the past, but decided against it because he looked too scary to talk to. But now she realizes he wasn't so bad after all.

"Yeah, with your long, blonde hair, you could be a younger version her," Bri chuckled.

"I know right!" Both girls couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It was more cloudy than sunny outside. The sun was out, but not as visible with all the clouds. The days were getting deeper into Autumn. Bridgette was thankful for the cooler season. She disliked the Summer heat. Melodie, however, wasn't much of a fan.

"Ugh, it's starting to become sweater season," Melodie grunted. "Goodbye, sweet Summer," she said as she placed a hand over her heart.

"Hahaha, you are such a drama queen Mel," Bri couldn't hold in her laughter. As the girls argued over which season was better, they didn't realize they had already walked up the stairs to the school's entrance.
