BFF by Miko Johnston

“C’mon Tansy, we’re gonna be late!”

Tansy springs atop a parked station wagon, skitters across its hood, then jumps off so cat-like I half expect her to lick her paw…hand.

She grins, Cheshire-like. “Let’s throw rocks at stores on Colorado.”

“That’s crazy.”

“I’m crazy. Don’t you know that?”

“You’re not crazy, you’re just part cat.”

She begins to purr and rubs her shoulder against mine. “What do you want to do?”

“Go to school.”

“You always say that.”

“I’m leaving now. You coming?”

Tansy dances around, leaping in her feline way before picking up her backpack. “Meow, let’s go.”
