A meow at Adam's feet.

He had just been talking to Principal Lawrence about the security in the school when there was a meow and something soft brushing against his leg. He glanced down to see and black-and-white car with bright green eyes.

"Oh, Sarah! Hello!" Principal Lawrence greeted and waved to the cat.

"Good morning," the cat replied in Adam's partner-totally-not-crush's voice. Even though he knew it was Sarah, hearing an animal speak in the dark-skinned woman's voice made him jump.

"Morning, Sarah," Adam nodded his head to the cat as he turned to his computer to check his email.

A few seconds later the cat leapt onto his desk and proceeded to walk on his keyboard, pushing random keys with her dainty paws. Adam glared at the cat.

"Sarah."

"What?" She asked innocently. Adam sighed and shook his head and returned to checking his email (which he now had to reopen since Sarah had closed his browser.)

"I'll be in my office if you need me," Lawrence announced and left the room. The woman-morphed-cat jumped off his desk and to the door that was left open and followed Lawrence. Adam was somewhat confused by Sarah's actions but decided not to question it. She was a very smart woman and could take care of herself.

The bell rang to allow students into the school building so Adam quickly logged off of the computer (although what was the point; the security was so bad students could hack from their student accounts and the COM wouldn't give them the funds to fix it) and walked to his classroom. A few students had already arrived that he acknowledged with a nod and sat down at his desk to look over his teaching notes for the day.

"Mister Foley? Do you know what's up with Miss Canaday?" Adam looked up from his lunch and saw a purple-eyed brunette- Kaya Long.

"What did you say, Miss Long?" Adam requested. He was confused as to what the dinosaur Magiclica was talking about.

"Miss Canaday. She taught the entire class as a cat and didn't even question it! I know her special ability is shapeshifting, but is there something going on so she's teaching in her cat form all day?" His student inquired.

Adam raised an eyebrow and shook his head. "Nothing that I know of, Miss Long. She was a cat when I saw her briefly earlier, but that's it." What in the name of the White Stone is Sarah doing today?

Kaya shrugged. "Thanks anyway, Mister Foley."

Throughout the day several other students had asked him the same question. Adam replied with the same answer each time: "your guess is as good as mine." It was finally lunch break (which was towards the end of the day) and as soon as Adam sat down with this tuna sandwich Principal Lawrence was calling for him.

"ADAAAAAAMM!!!!"

"Coming!" The dark-haired man jumped up from his desk and warped to the principal's office (Let's just say this is not the first time Lawrence has panicked and called for her most trusted teachers.)

Adam stepped through his orange portal to see Lawrence's office a mess. "What happened here?" He asked.

The green-haired woman was flailing about, trying to put the mess back together.

"I'll tell you what! Sarah is going crazy! She's acting like a true feline- the queen that rules all! But we're not going to give into her tyranny, no sir!" Lawrence announced rather overdramatically.

Adam rolled his eyes and picked up a pile of papers that was near his feet. The corners were slightly shredded by what appeared to be claws.

"Sarah..." Adam muttered under his breath. To say he was confused was an understatement. Sarah was the most organized, reliable, smartest and prettiest woman he knew. There was no way she would purposefully trash Lawrence's office, was there?

"Do you know where Sarah is, Lawrence?" Adam asked his superior.

She shook her head. "She disappeared when I tried to grab her. Who knew cats could be so squirmy?" Adam decided he wasn't going to be the one to tell her that most cats were like that. He kneeled down again to pick up more papers when he caught a glint of green under the desk.

"AHA!"

He mentally created a portal under the feline and he heard a surprised meow as cat-Sarah fell through the portal and landed in Adam's arms. He tried not to blush at the technicality of his action and held her tight as she squirmed in a weak attempt to escape.

"Ad-am!"

"Sar-ah!" he mocked. "You destroyed Lawrence's office!"

"How dare you, Sarah? I thought I could trust you!" Lawrence sided with Adam.

She shrugged her front haunches (the equivalent of human shoulders?) rather nonchalantly. "I had to get your attention somehow."

"You could have just called?" Adam noted. She shrugged again.

"Anyway, I wanted to show you guys my real form."

The two humans blinked with Principal Lawrence making a confused sound.

Sarah is a human though?

"I know you know me as Sarah Canaday, but have you ever thought that I'm not human?"

This felt like a slap in the face for Adam. She wasn't human? She was a cat? But how did she have powers?

"I'm my family's adopted pet. One of my siblings when they were younger accidentally enchanted me and I gained a human form with powers, a Magiclica."

I really, really like a cat. Adam was somewhat horrified with himself and extremely shocked.

"But, but- how did you- can you even- WHAAAAT?!" Lawrence sputtered. "Is this even possible?!"

"As Adam teaches in his class, there's limitless potential for improving our special ability. I like to think that I've gotten very good at mine, don't you think?" Sarah's green feline eyes blinked innocently at the dark-haired man.

He silently put the cat down on the desk with a rather shell-shocked look on his face and he sat down in the chair across to contemplate his life.

"I don't even know what to say to this," he breathed.

My partner in half my life is a cat. As if my life couldn't get any weirder. If I thought teaching at this school was crazy enough as it is, this brings Everston to an entirely new level of interestingly-difficult. He idly wondered if the team of crime-solving students in his homeroom class had figured this out already.

A soft but heavy body landed on his lap. Adam removed his face from his hand to see Sarah's bright green eyes dilated to be large, round, and far too innocent. She gave him as much of a smile as a cat could and purred, rubbing her head against his chest.

"Sarah," he suddenly snapped back into his rather cold demeanor. "We're at work."

"When are we not at work? Work is literally life. Work and sleep," Principal Lawrence grumbled.

Sarah blinked and hopped off Adam's lap. "Alright then. I'll see you after class, Adam?" she verified.

"Uh, sure." Then the feline pranced out the door and back to her classroom.

"What was that about?" Lawrence questioned, glancing between her two most trusted teachers. Adam shrugged.

"I've been saying this all day, not a clue."

The final bell of the day rung and his students quickly packed up their bags and flooded into the crowded hallway. Adam knew better than to try and navigate the swarm and waited a few minutes before leaving his classroom. As he grabbed his own satchel bag with the things he brings from home, his phone went off with the ringtone he had set for Sarah.

Sarah: where are you?

Adam glanced around and replied back.

You: Just leaving my room

Sarah: meet me in the faculty parking lot?

Adam sighed and sent back a confirmation before taking the back door that went straight out to the back parking lot where only teachers and staff were allowed to park. There, standing by his car was the dark-skinned woman that had summoned him in her human form.

"Hello, Sarah. You're human now," he noted before cursing himself for saying that out loud.

She smiled and laughed. "Yes, Adam, I am human. I just wanted to let you know, I'm not really a cat."

He raised an eyebrow, this being the second time he's been thoroughly surprised by her today.

"What?"

She raised a hand behind her head and smiled guiltily. "One of my students dared me to trick Principal Lawrence, and I thought it would be funny and agreed. I felt bad about pulling you into this too, though, so I just wanted to tell you. But don't tell Lawrence, alright?" she chuckled rather mischievously.

"So... you're not an enchanted cat. You're a normal human like me?" the dark-haired man verified.

She nodded.

Adam groaned. "Don't do this too me, Sarah! I've had enough confusion as it is this semester!" 

Thank the White Stone! How awkward would it be to have a small crush on a cat?

She laughed, once again sounding like an angel- (Adam, get yourself together!) "You and me both. See you tomorrow!" then she scurried off to her own car to head home for the day.

Adam sighed and shook his head. "Alright then." I'm glad she's not a cat. I don't think I could handle seeing a cat safely driving a car at any time of day.

-----------------------

Honestly Adam here is relatable.

I think I made him a little too emotional and reactive but ehhh it's in his head not his outside appearance

Also this turned out a lot longer than I originally thought. I thought this was gonna be less than 1000 words, but it's about 1650 lol

Sorry for reupload I made a few mistakes and had to fix them. I was originally calling Principal Lawrence, Laurens??? I apparently was hearing her name wrong for the past who-knows-how-long

But now I'm somewhat inclined to her first name being Lauren, but then Lauren Lawrence sounds kind of weird XD
