"That's how you calculate the mass, thus when you...."
It's the last day of the school week but Lisa can't bring herself to focus on whatever the professor is saying. Her mind kept on wandering somewhere else. Being seated at the corner back doesn't help, the window beside her is too tempting.
She just glances time by time to show she's "listening" and even nodding so she won't get caught, her fingers are crossed that the teacher won't ask her a question or she'll end up pretending to be mute.
The wind brushed past her cheeks making her sigh deeply, she can't help but yawn. When she glanced outside, her eyes widened then zoomed on something particularly familiar.
At the school garden, that is by the way near her building, she saw a kitten laying on the pavement. It's noticably small, as if just born. She felt pity for the poor kitten, if its mother didn't abandon it, it must be lost.
Lisa glanced on her wristwatch, 10 more minutes before the bell rings. She felt anxious waiting for the time.
She has always been a cat person, even back in her homeland Thailand, she owns 2 cats, remembering them makes her heart clench in sadness. They are her emotional supports, when she's going through hard times, she snuggle them close and they magically take away her pain.
Why would anyone not want a cat... She thought. Most of the people she knows prefer dogs over cats, but although they're equally adorable, she will choose cats in a heartbeat.
Poor baby..
She cannot worrying about the kitten, it's like she's hearing it's soft meows and all she wanted was to rush towards it and help it.
At last, after the longest 10 minutes in her life, the school bell rang indicating dismissal. The garden won't be crowded since it's away from the path students take when heading home.
She rushed towards the door, something she doesn't usually do because most of the times, she help her classmates arrange the room and clean the corridors.
I'm sorry, we all have priorities. She thought.
She reached the kitten's location panting. The kitten weakly meowed and raised its tiny paw.
"Oh my gosh, you poor little thing." Lisa quickly attended the kitten she gently put it in her lap, it snuggled close to her. As she touched its body, she realized it's probably cold and is eager for warmth since earlier.
She used her finger to brush its head lightly, "Where's your mother? I probably should wait for her to come back."
The kitten stayed at its position, loving the heat from her hand. "It's such a pity I cannot raise a cat at my place, your mother should come back right?"
Obviously not able to say anything else, the kitten just meowed. Lisa pouted her lips then meowed back at it. She calls herself fluent in "Catish" language.
