After a short drive, they arrived. Jess and Jen said goodbye to their mom before heading towards the building. Jen stayed behind to survey the crowd. She didn’t see Suzy anywhere and decided to head straight for her locker to see if she was already inside. Unfortunately, Suzy wasn’t there either. As luck would have it, Vanessa was. Jen still wanted to find her girlfriend, but saw an opportunity she couldn’t pass up.
She walked over and tapped her arm, making sure to touch the exposed skin just past her sleeve. Vanessa turned. It was an impressive feat of coordination with four legs. She smiled and began to say good morning. As expected, the familiar vacant expression interrupted her greeting. Jen wasn’t surprised when her four legs began to merge back into a single pair.
She was happy that Vanessa choose her original form. Four legs just seemed so impractical. As soon as her body finished reconfiguring itself, she continued her greeting. “... Morning Jen. Did you want to ask me something?”
As it happened, Jen did have a question. “Hey Vanessa, I don’t suppose you’ve seen Suzy around?”
“Funny you should ask. She told me to ask you to meet her in the usual spot... Whatever that means.” She replied.
Jen thought for a moment, then guessed that she was referring to the equipment room. Where else could it have been?
“Thanks Vanessa...” Jen replied as she began to walk in that direction.
“Better hurry, you’ve only got about fifteen minutes before class starts.” Vanessa explained.
Jen waved and turned a corner at the end of the hallway. It only took a few minutes to make it to the equipment room. She hoped Suzy didn’t have anything too deviant in mind since they only had a few minutes before class...
