3rd pov:
Leaving the ice rink with Casey one day and then getting followed by a stray cat afterwards?
perfectly normal.
.
.
.
"Dude did you see that move I did back there!'' Casey said out loud quite passionately, walking really proudly forward almost without a care in the world.
''Of course I did Casey.'' (___) replied, though that was a lie. They had no idea what the hell Casey was referring to due to them not paying attention half the time and instead focusing on trying to figure out how the fuck Stephanie from math class had managed to cheat on her boyfriend of what 6 years? With his older sister without getting caught for 2 years straight. Straight, unlike Stephanie's ass.
Casey had started to talk about some ice hockey teams last match he had watched on TV last night, (___) just smiling for practically no reason whilst every now and then making some sort of comment asking about the teams moves and all while the two of them were leaving the ice rink they were previously in.
.

.
'tap.. tap... tap..' The lightest sound of fur-covered paws moving could be heard in the alleyway, which was starting to get wet due to the light rain that had started.
'tap.. tap.. tap. tap. tap' The cats footsteps had started to get faster.
'tap.'
'tap.'
'tap.'
'creak...' The sound of a door opening had caught the cats attention quite quickly.
''So then Mike dared James to kiss the most attractive person in the room and James kissed Mike, despite the fact that his girlfriend was sitting right between the both of them!'' Casey had started to talk about some game of truth or dare he had been taking part in last week with some of his teammates from the ice hockey team he plays in.
''What?! No way! what happened then?!?!'' (___) had replied to him, having become slightly interested in his stories.
''James's girlfriend asked him to go to another room with her and not long after they left we managed to hear her start losing her shit with him!! Anyways they broke up pretty quickly and the rest of the night became really akward.''
"I mean yeah sure I can see how that would be the outc-''
''meow..'' The sound of a cat meowing had quickly managed to cut (___)'s sentence to a stop.
''Did you hear that?'' (___) asked the boy next to them (___) having started looking around to see where the cat could be ''Do you see it anywhere?'' They quickly added, Casey also having started to look around, responded ''No I don't!''.
.
''meow''
..
''meow''
...
Not even 3 minutes have passed and the two teenagers still hadn't found the cat, whom was watching the two getting highly entertained by them.
''meow'' The cat meowed again, loud enough for the two to hear it but still quiet enough for them to not be able to locate the cat. The scene could slightly remind someone of a game of 'Hot and Cold' for someone passing by. But with the hunter being two idiots people and the hidden object being a cat. Or even hide and seek with sound. whichever you prefer really.
Anyways, eventually Casey and (___) found the cat sitting on a dumpster, hidden in the shadows! Yippee I guess!
''So this is the mysterious lad....? Gal..? uh.. Cat.'' (___) said before finally trying to taking a good look at the cat.
''What color is it?'' Casey decided to ask.
''Uh... it's um... orange I guess.?'' (___) muttered. ''You guess? '' Casey muttered back, in a guestioning tone of voice.
''Hard to say what color it is when it's in the shadows, Jones.'' (___) said to Casey, afterwards noticing the cat had finally decided to move forward before jumping down to the ground, finally being out of the shadows giving the two teens a change to take a good look at it.
''Soo... that's not orange. It looks more like some brown-ish.. caramel-ish.. no.. toffee-ish color... no cinnamon!?'' (___) thought out loud, Casey had decided to crouch down to be closer to the cat.
''Dude who cares about what color it is?!'' The gayass jock said to the person next to them while reaching his hand towards the cat, which had wobbled towards his hand and starting to rub it's hand against it trying to encourage him to pet them.
''I think the cat likes you?'' (___) said to him before getting slightly closer to the two.
''Seems like it..'' Casey, TRIED to continue his sentence when the cat suddenly decided to go towards the other human and starting to rub and walk against their leg.
'aww...' The other human thought, before croughing down to start petting the cat gently. '' Dude we should start leaving it's getting kinda late and I need to go home'' ''Oh hush Case. We both know you want to just go to the new arcade that opened a couple days ago.'' The two of them chatted, until (___) finally decided to stop petting the cat and getting up, adjusting their clothes, seemingly getting ready to just leave already.
Casey, also getting up took one last glance at the cat before looking at the other human and starting to leave with them. Unknownst to the two teens, a certain fluffy creature chose to follow the two of them, not bothering to make itself known to them, yet.
.

At least 10 minutes had passed before their walk of silence had been broken. ''Oh wait I need to go to the store.. Case i'm gonna turn left from here i'll-''
''meoww...'' A noise could be heard from below the two. The teens immediately turned around to look at what made the noise, and surprise surprise it was the cat from before. Who could have guessed?
.
.
.
''(___). How long has the fucking cat been following us for?''
"UH. I don't know?!''
