Say Pretty Please

Chapter 8

Cat bit her lip as she stood next to Tori at her locker. Tori was telling her a story about something Trina had done the night before but Cat wasn't listening. She couldn't. Jade was standing down the hall at her own locker alone with a deep frown on her face. Cat hadn't talked to her all weekend or all morning though they had a few classes together already.

Cat couldn't help but to notice that Beck and Jade had been apart all day. He never stopped at her locker with her and he never walked her to class. They didn't even walk into the building together like they usually did. Cat didn't want to jump to any conclusions but she was almost positive they had broken up. But maybe they were just fighting. She knew she shouldn't care but she had the real urge to find out and she wouldn't be able to focus on anything else until she did.

"Tori." She cut Tori off abruptly while keeping her eyes on Jade. Tori stopped talking and looked to Cat before she followed her eyes to Jade and immediately frowned. "Beck and Jade hadn't been together all morning. Do you think they broke up?" she asked as she began to bit her nails nervously. Tori sighed as she looked back to Cat with a look of disappointment.

"I don't know Cat, but I don't care and you shouldn't either remember?" She asked with a raised eyebrow and Cat sighed as she nodded her head. She had spent most of her time over the weekend with Tori who was trying to help her get over Jade but it really wasn't working. Tori had even invited Cat to her house where she greeted her dressed like Jade, wearing black clothes and a dark wig with green highlights and acting mean to try to make Cat dislike the Goth girl, but it only resulted in Cat almost jumping on her to try and kiss her. Tori didn't seem much discouraged though since according to her, the same happened to Andre who eventually was able to get over Jade. But it was different. Cat knew for a fact that Andre never had a connection as strong as the one she she had with Jade. No one had ever shared with Jade what Cat had shared, not even Beck. 

Anyway, Tori had suggested her to be distant from Jade, but being distant from her actually made Cat think even more of her. She didn't see Robbie because he had to spend time with his family but she did text him and talk on the phone with him a lot. She liked Robbie. He did do a good job of making her feel happy but it was nothing compared to how Jade made her feel.

"I know Tori but...can you please find out if they are still together or not?" She asked as she shifted on her feet slightly. She put on her classic pout and Tori sighed as her shoulders slumped, moments away from giving in, before Robbie bounced up to stand next to Cat. He wrapped his arm around her waist and placed a kiss on her cheek.

"I missed you all weekend." He said as he pushed up his glasses. Cat smiled up at him as Tori looked over the two of them.

"I missed you too." She forced out a small giggle as she rested her head on his shoulder. She did miss him but she missed Jade more. She wasn't sure if she'd ever get over the older girl. It was just too hard. She had fell for her too deep. She allowed her eyes to travel back down the other end of the hall only to watch Jade's dark hair sway behind her as she made her way down the hall and through the growing crowd of kids. Cat bit her lip as she turned her attention back to Robbie.

The rest of the day continued on with Robbie walking her to her classes and sharing kisses with her in the halls. She tried to allow herself to enjoy it but it was hard. She only had a one track mind and that one track was Jade. It wasn't long before lunch rolled around. Cat like usual was one of the first to the table. She sat and began to eat her tuna sandwich.

"Hey." She looked up quickly, her body tensing at the sound of Beck's voice. He sat down across from her, his brown eyes on the sandwich she was eating. "Did you check the expiration date on that before opening it Cat?" He asked as he looked to the food on his own tray. She quickly nodded her head when he glanced up at her. He nodded his head before tearing the plastic off his silverware. Cat could only stare at him because it had been a long time since Beck had talked to her and she wasn't sure if this was a good thing or not. "What?" He asked after a couple of minutes of staring in silence.
