The teacher's announcement filled the classroom with excitement. Students buzzed about their chosen pets for the next day. "I'll bring my bird," a girl declared, while another boy mentioned his cat.

The following day, astonishment rippled through the class as Scaramouche, with a sly grin, approached, dragging you on a chain tied around your neck. "C'mere, my pet," he beckoned, leaving everyone stunned.
