Lexis puffed her cheeks and blew the air out. "AHHHH!"
That damned sun's hot Lexis thought as she watched the ripple of heat rising from the street. She slouched on the bench until her head touched the back and looked up at the sky. Barely any clouds where in sight.
"Oi! I don't have any more food." she said looking down at the fur balls licking her fingers.
As if they were trying to understand what she was saying the puff balls tilted their heads at her and meowed. She patted the heads the three kittens looking up at her. The fluffiest of them jumped into her lap. She looked at its dark gray coat and rested her other hand on its head.
"Who told you, you could sit on me huh? Go find your mother she'd feed you guys more than me." The kittens kept staring at her until they dozed off.

"CAT!" Lexis shouted to her right. The kittens asleep in her lap jumped out of their nap and looked up at her. The animal stopped in its tracks and turned sharply to face Lexis.
"Don't go disturbing the peace." A voice coming at her from left. The kittens jumped off her lap and chased after their mother.
"Shouldn't you be in school at this time of the day? Loitering isn't allowed and neither is school skipping." The officer set down on the bench next to her. "So what is it?"
She stood up and stretched. "Suspended"
The officer looked at Lexis as she walked away. "Stupid mixed-breed."

CLOSED.
Read the sign outside the library. Lexis walked to the doors and peered in. She saw two women moving books around and another sitting at the front desk.
She went around the back and turned the door knob. Looking disappointed she continued turning the knob, pulled the door open slowly and slipped in, then carefully closed the door behind her. Sneaking through the back rooms she made her way to the library, the three women were now all at the desk looking at something. Without waiting for a better moment Lexis bent the corner and sprinted up the stairs taking them three at a time. She made her way to the back and took one of the cubicles that would hide her.
Sure midterms were over, but finals were next, good thing final exams were external so she couldn't be accused of cheating. Lexis spent that day in the library reading until the words got blurry and everything went black.
She was jolted awake by a thud on the desk . "Well there really was a rat in here. All this time you spend staring at pages and you can't read the sign out front?"
Lexis sat up and wiped her face with her hands. "Even the rats are interested in learning sometimes." she yawned.
"Get out!" The woman said angrily.
"Fine."

"I hope you've thought about your actions this past week." Jodi said looking across the table at Lexis playing with her food. Lexis just looked up at her and went back to picking at the food.
"Lexis!"
"Yeah, I did" Lexis answered halfheartedly looking at the table.
"Finish your food" Jodi said getting up from her seat. "and go to sleep, you have school in the morning."
