Mandy Lightwater was sitting alone on the dusty wooden floor in the middle of the owlry, staring up at the sleeping pets as mid-day sunlight drifted through the window. She sighed happily and scratched her silver tabby cat Hobbes behind the ears. He purred happily in his sleep and rolled over, wrinkling her purple nylon trenchcoat.
Mandy didn't have many friends at school, so she liked to sit with the owls for company. She turned around and looked up when she heard footsteps enter the owlrey.

Luke rolled his eyes. " Well for me it is. I take extra classes. I'm Luke and you are?"

" Um, yes." He walked over to an owl and gave it a note.

"Who're you mailing?" Mandy cocked her head as Hobbes sat up and stretched.

"Ookayy..." Mandy's eyes darted around the room. Hobbes crawled into her lap and pawed at her chest like he did when he was hungry.

"My cat? Yeah he's fine." She rubbed his head. "No food now boy." Hobbes looked annoyed. "Now now, we have company." She scolded. "This is Hobbes." She said to Luke as the cat's fur fluffed out and he hid behind his owner. Mandy laughed. "He's afraid of everything. Dont take that personally."

"What's your cat's name?" Mandy was pinning the cat to the floor between her legs. Hobbes rolled over onto his back and hissed. "Stop that." She scolded.
