Clever Cats

2.

The next day Dusk woke up to the smell of smoke.

"Mary-weather", Dusk said coughing," what's going on ,is there a FIRE".

Mary weather was standing in front of the coffee table where a chemistry set was boiling. Dusk scrambled out of bed and pushed her away from the smoke.

"Stop Dusk", Mary weather shouted trying to get around her.

"Are you crazy, that thing is about to explode", Dusk shouted in return.

"What's going on", a deep voice called from outside the door.

Dusk lifted her head and as soon as she did lost her holding and Mary weather charged by her adding drops of a red liquid into the mix calming down the boiling and the smoke stopped emerging.

Dusk fell right onto the mysterious Tom that was in the doorway. When Dusk open her eyes she was laying on a black Tom with a white belly, nose and half of his tail.

"Hello", he said smiling up at her, Dusks heart melted a bit but then turned her head to see Octavius standing next to them.

Dusk stood up and turned her head to Mary weather who had a regretful face.

"What the dog was that", I asked sternly which made her shift a little.

"My chemistry project I've been working on the ,reverse boil temperatures", she said and the liquid was now calm and smelt like coconuts.

"It's okay, it just scared me", Dusk said and turned around to see both of the toms were listening.

"Um excuse us", Dusk said chuckling face.

"Well I'm Thorne", the black Tom stated," nice to meet you stranger".

He then walked away leaving Dusk speechless. Octavius walked up behind her and whispered," Cats got your tongue".

He too walked away , leaving Dusk starstruck, Octavius and Thorne were roommates at the den across the river

Mary weather strolled up behind Dusk, her fluffy purple tail was curled up next to her.

"Aren't they cute", she said and giggled.

Dusk started laughing then walked to her suitcase to get her uniform on. Which she hated.

When Mary-weather and Dusk finally made it to there first class on the other side of school they noticed that Octavius was also in the same class so they sat down next to him at a small circled wooden slab.

Dusk unhooked her rollable book bag from her tail and got out a mouse-pencil and a few sheets of cardboard. Which was on everyone's table.

Right before the bell rang a tall cream spotted she-cat burst into the room.

"You were almost late, take a seat", the teacher hissed, madly squinting at her.

The feline searched the room and sat next to Mary weather and across from Dusk. Her tail was smooth and slick, she had very faint blue eyes and she had a little scar next to her pink nose.

"I am very sorry about that, Ms.Catfish, my brother got in a fight", the cream colored she cat lashed out.

The teacher didn't even turn around, she just started to write on the blackboard with a piece of a Chalk Rock. The class started to take notes so Dusk picked up her pencil and copied down the facts about how cats were brought to America.

"So Class does anyone know the brave Tom that led the scared little cats over to America", she said turning around at the class.

A she cat with white fur and green eyes, just like Dusks, raised her paw.

"Yes you", Ms. Catfish pointed out.

"His name was Captain Rico", the she-cat started," He was the eldest of the cats on board of the first ship to bring the cats over, and stepped up to be leader after their clan leader died the past day, since the other cats were venerable they agreed that he would rule over them when they got to the new land, instead of leading them like he promised ,the humans took over tearing cats away from their family's and were forced to kill mouses for water. Captain Rico, being the only one that escaped, was ashamed of himself so as a last resort started attacking humans making cats seem crazy and bloodthirsty so that the cats were thrown out by the humans and could rejoin their family's and start the first clan in the new world. But sadly the humans got to Captain Rico before the other cats could save him, so the carried on his name and it goes down in history as the oldest good deed for Cats in America".

Everyone in the class stared at the she-cat in astonishment, the teacher cleared her throat to get everyone's attention.

"Good job", Ms.Catfish spurted," Now class grab the books from the corner and turn to page 32".

"Um..... ma'am", a tabby Tom yelped from the back of the class," I can't read".

Ms. Catfish snapped her head at him staring at him with intensity," you did not attend Primary School".

"No my parents wanted me to focus on hunting skills—", he started but she cut him off.

"Get out", she said and paused, the toms face went red," Get Out and go see the Professor he will tell you what to do".

Everyone watch the poor Tom in silence as he walked out with the eyes of the teachers glare.

"That's Harsh", Octavius whispered to Dusk, she nodded in reply.

After 1st period is 1st meal, since their are a lot of cats we only have two meals a day, Dusk made her way to the cafeteria which was around the corner from her first period.

Dusk grabbed a small mouse from the prey pile and looked around.

She lost sight of Mary-weather and Octavius so she decided to sit outside in the center table to wait for them.

All of a sudden the black Tom she numbed into Thorne showed up.

"What are you doing here", he said his eyes widened.

"Pardon", Dusk said looking around to see if this was a prank.

"This is the cheerleaders seat", he said and started to nudge her away.

"What the dog is going on here", a she-cat squealed and Dusked looked up to see a group of cheerleaders staring at her.

"Oh sorry I didn't know—", Dusk said starting to get up, Thorne just stood their looking at the ground.

"Of course you didn't, newbie", she replied and rolled her eyes," so I'll give you 10 seconds to move".

Dusk realized that it was Bree the head cheerleaders sister, she was in our grade. Dusk wasn't about to take bullying from her. So...

Dusk didn't move.

"Excuse me you should be gone by now", Bree said and the other cheerleaders started to laugh at her. Dusk rolled her eyes at her.

She then picked up her mouse and walked away chuckling to herself.

Thorne watched her walk away and laughed then joined his "Yarn-ball players" only table.

Bree squinted her eyes when the sun shone on her. Genevieve sat down next to her and tried to hid her laughs.

"She's so dead", Bree said then bit into her rabbits foot.

The Cheerleaders smiled and sipped there teas

"So dead"
