I believe I should give some background first. My name is Kay, I go to high school in Colorado, and I'm 16. Life is pretty average. Live in a typical suburban house. I've got a mom and dad, divorced, and three brothers. Got other family that live in another state. That's about it.
Day to Day, nothing really interesting happens. I wake up, drive to school, spend 8 hours not doing much of anything, head home, and go to bed. It almost feels like a living the same week every time, only difference being the weather and what assignment is due this time. It's boring, but if I'm being honest, I wouldn't want it to be any different. It's simple, not complex, and pretty mellow.
Of course that's when the universe decided it would be funny to mess around with me a bit.
I was on my way to the bathroom. It was nearing the end of 6th period, being P.E. , and I decided to take a small break. I walk at a brisk pace through the locker lined halls, passing the occasional student or teacher. While there was a restroom near to the gym, it always smelled of some kind of fruit and had a guy checking themselves out in the mirror. So I decided to walk to a further one near the miscellaneous classes section. Usually it was empty, and it was a nice bathroom in general. Clean, no rude drawings on the mirrors or stalls, and some windows that had a view of the the football field.
Navigating through the corridors, I came to a junction, the hall splitting to go left or right. Going left, I walked a small distance before coming to a set of wooden double doors on the right. I pulled one open and stepped into another hallway. While the last one had large grey tiles and locker lined walls, this one was narrow with carpet floors and drywall. It continued before cutting left, but my objective was to the right, being two doors labeled 'MENS' and 'WOMENS'.
Coming to the door, I began to push it open when a familiar voice stopped me.
"Hey Kay. What brings you all the way over here?" A girl, with shoulder length brown hair and white skin said, raising an eyebrow before smirking.
"Hi Zoe. Just using the bathroom." I turned and looked at her. She wore a simple pair of jeans with sneakers, and a T-shirt with some band on it.
"Aren't you supposed to be in the Gym?" She asked, narrowing her eyes with a mock frown of suspicion.
I met her expression with an equal use of narrow eyes and a frown. "Well shouldn't you be... somewhere?"
"Spanish." She corrected me, letting a small smile cross her features.
"Yeah. There."
"Well yes, but I have to use the bathroom." She moved to the other door, eyeing me the whole way.
"Okay... I guess we'll just go our separate ways..." I began to push the door open while walking in backwards, trying to not break into a smile and keep my expression.
"Yeah... Careful not to fall in." She said as she also began to disappear into the doorway.
"What?" I blanked at the statement, caught a little of guard.
"Nothing!" Came a chipper response, muffled by the closing door. Shaking my head, I stepped inside the restroom, and was greeted by a clean area. A pair of urinals lined the left wall, three sinks were situated to the right, and a single stall stood at the back, just bellow a narrow window at the top of the back wall. I looked over the surroundings for a second. Still clean as ever. It even has soap in the dispenser-
My thought was interrupted as something scurried around in the stall. From my view, I caught a blur of orange from underneath the divider. Initially, I thought if may have a been a rat, but the size of the object looked to be to large, unless this school had massive ones.
Slowly, on light feet, I crept towards the stall. As I approached I heard a few small noises followed by what sounded like whispering. While I wasn't to sure, the noises sounded similar to hooves on pavement, albeit a bit higher pitched. Getting to the stall door, I gave a small rap with my knuckles and spoke.
"Hello?"
The whispering stopped almost instantly, and again the sound similar to hooves was present before stopping abruptly. Confusion splayed across my features, and I hesitated for a moment.
I might regret doing this, but my curiosity compels me.
I dropped to one knee and leaned down, peeking underneath the plastic wall. Scanning around, nothing was out of the ordinary until my gaze passed over the toilet. I froze for a moment, looking at the sight. 4 brightly colored yellow cylinders stood atop the toilet seat. They quivered ever so slightly and looked to be covered by hair.
What the fuck?
As the stall wall was pretty low to the floor, and not wanting to subject myself to whatever was on the floor, I stood back to my full height. I stood for a second, frozen in thought.
Some kind of art project maybe? But why was it moving? There's hardly a breeze or anything. I again knocked on the door. Something slid and the sound of plastic denting followed it. I paused, taking a small breath.
There's something in there.
I pushed on the door, finding it unlocked. I stepped in, and froze at the sight inside.
Three animals stood stacked upon each other. A yellow one with red hair and tail, and a large bow was on the bottom. Atop it was a snow white one, with curly pink and purple hair and tail, and a horn on its head, and atop that one was a orange one, with purple hair and tail, and little wings on its sides.
The three creatures stood with wide eyes and locked on me. I returned the expression. Nothing happened for what seemed to be forever when the one on top cleared its throat.
"Uh... Occupied?" It spoke.
My jaw hitting the floor was cut short as the one on the bottom lost it's footing. Hoofing? I don't know. It fell.
