Stay With Me

Stay With Me

Third Person POV

Catalina, or Cat for short and as most people called her, was so excited. In just three short days her big party dream was going to come true! Her father is what you would call rich, so her family had a huge three story cabin out in the Washington State Forest. Her plan was to invite the the entire 6th through 8th grades from her school, up to it to spend a couple days, two or three probably, depending on what her father says.

She wakes up on Wednesday morning pumped, for once, to get to school. She couldn't wait to hand out the little pieces of paper that she calls invitations. She hops out of her bed and walks to the bathroom. She steps into the shower and turns the water on waiting for it to heat up. Once it's at the perfect temperature she steps into the streaming water, and let's the warmth melt away any doubts she ever had about the party. She continues her morning shower routine quietly humming some song she'd listened to the day before. When she's finished she turns off the water and steps out.

She grabs her things and walks out the front door, and maybe she's just so happy she's skipping. She pulls open the car door and takes her seat. Her dad and brother come out and get in the car as well. The car starts and the radio turns on, blasting Happy by Pharrel, the perfect song for Cat's mood. As they drive to school the radio station ends up playing a shit load of bubbly happy songs, just making Cat's happiness stronger.

As she walks up the steps to the school, she tightly clutches the stack of papers she plans to hand out to people. As she passes anyone from the 6th through 8th grade, while walking to the library, she hands them one of the small papers.

Throughout the day all she could think about was her party, and even though it was only Wednesday and her party was planned for Friday she kept planning and planning everything she wanted to happen. Finally it was time for PE, and almost time to go home. Mrs. Brandon thought it was too hot outside to stay out, so they went into the gym. Cat thought it was a stupid decision considering it was December 1st. They ended up playing dodgeball, and damn that game is scary when you have to play the 7th grade.

Finally the bell rings and she runs, literally runs, towards her backpack. She grabs it and hurries towards her dad's car waiting in the parking lot. She gets in and he drives home. After she gets home and has dinner, she showers again and goes to bed.

She wakes up the next morning, still excited, but dreading school. She realized yesterday, that no matter how excited you are about something school always sucks. It's Thursday. So close but so far away from Friday. She showers, gets dressed, grabs her things, and trudges out the door. She may not be wanting to go to school but there's still a slight smile on her face, because she gets to see Luke.

Her dad pulls up at the school, while still blasting the full Van Halen album. She tells him bye as she steps out of the car. As he pulls away she can hear him shouting "VAN HALEN!! YEAH!! ROCK ON VAN HALEN!!!" She rolls her eyes and smiles as she walks up the steps to the library. She meets Chelsea, her second best friend next to Tori, in their spot right by the door just as the bell rings. The bus is late again, oh well sucks for Tori. She walks down the hall to the classroom and only has to wait a minute for Mrs. Brandon to show up. What a change. She walks into the classroom, pulls down her row of chairs, and sits down. She can faintly hear the bus pulling up to the school. A few moments later Tori is sprinting for the classroom, along with Lacy, while Perrie was lazily strolling behind them at a leisurely pace.

She's halfway through her day, and they're all at lunch when Luke walks over to their table, along with Jaxx, Cam, Matt, and Kendal. The boys at their school had always been close with the girls, being that it's a small school. Jaxx sits down next to Tori and she blushes. Cam takes his seat at the end, being the loner he is, Matt places himself near Chelsea, and Kendal seats himself right by Lacy. Cat keeps hoping Luke would pick a seat near her since she's on one of the ends and finally he sits down right next to her. She internally starts freaking out, but on the outside her facial expression couldn't be any calmer. Even she's amazed at herself. She sneaks a glance at Tori, her being the only one who knows that she has the biggest possible crush on Luke, but she's too wrapped up in talking to Jaxx. She's even twirling her hair around her finger, how cliché. Cat stifles a laugh. Then the bell rings and they all have to get to their next class. Social Studies for her. She rolls her eyes, yay.
