Kat (JATP: OC x Reggie)✔️

The Other Side of Hollywood (part two)

The boys looked around at each other. "Well, it could be co to play here." Luke said.

Kat thought for a split second. "But were committed—"

Oh, it...it's not just here. We party like this all over the world. Tonight, Hollywood. Tomorrow, Paris." Caleb cut his niece off.

"Oh là là!" Reggie said. Kat giggled at him.

"It is...all of your dreams come true...forever." Caleb said. The ghosts just gasped at him. "I'm gonna give you some time to think about it. Oh, by the way, make sure you try the sliders," he said. "They're to die for,"

"W-w-we can eat?" Reggie asked.

"Here you can," Caleb and Kat said together. Caleb snapped his fingers.

"Ellie told me," Kat smiled.

The boys began digging into the food, while Kat just took a slider.

"I'm actually kind of glad we can't eat outside of here," she admitted, watching the way they were pigging out.

"Oh, pizza! Man, I missed you," Luke said to his slice.

Kat was looking over at Reggie, both disgusted and amused. He was kissing his meatball sub.

"Reg, are you kissing that meatball sub?" Kat asked her boyfriend.

"It's what you do with the things you love," he replied.

"You don't kiss Kat like that," Alex said.

"Well—I—uh..we—um," Reggie and Kat sputtered avoiding eye contact with each other.

"I take it you're all enjoying the feast?" Caleb said.

"Ah, saved by the bell," Kat whispered.

Everyone cheered. "So many delicious sights, so many tantalizing sounds. But...your eyes still hunger for more. Something sweet." Caleb said.

"Yeah!" everyone yelled.

"Something...savory." he said. "How many newcomers do we have at the club tonight?" Kat and her friends all raised their hands. "Ladies, let's show our guests how we do dessert."

"A one, two, three, four!"

The ghost club began performing again.

"Watch me make a move
Watch me make a move, yeah
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do?"
I say, watch me make a move
Watch me make a move, oh"

Kat and the boys began singing along.

"Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do?
I say, watch me make a move
Watch me make a move, yeah
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do?
Watch me make a move
Beat you ever knew
Hey, yeah!"

Willie joined the performance, Alex awestruck at his dancing.

"Life is good
On the other side of Hollywood
Life is good
On the other side of Hollywood
So welcome to the brotherhood
Where you won't be misunderstood
Life is good
On the other side of Hollywood"

Kat began to frown again when she remembered what her dad had told her. Where was he anyway?

Luke, Alex, and Reggie were pulled up from their seats by the pretty trapeze artists and dancers. Kat watched Reggie as he gladly began to dance with one. He fainted into Luke's arms, and the. quickly recovered.

"Come now. You can't be the only one at the party not dancing," Caleb said to Alex.

Kat kind of ignored their conversation after that, as she watch Reggie happily dance with someone that wasn't her. She felt eyes on her, and glanced over her shoulder where Ellie stood, frowning.

"I'm sorry, Kat," Ellie said. "He's stupid,"

"Yeah, that's all right, El," Kat stood up. "I should go." Kat began to walk away, the sound of the music getting lower as she made it further.

How could she be mad at Reggie?

He obviously wasn't in his right mind...and...

Kat found herself trying to make excuses for her boyfriends behavior, but she knew she was wrong. He danced with that girl willingly. It hurt her to think about, and she'd have to talk to him about it. Honestly, he'd been avoiding her all night...and Kat didn't know why.

She found herself looking around, and her eyes landed on the clock. Midnight. It was 12:00. They forgot about Julie!

"Luke! Alex! Reggie! We forgot about—" Kat ran back towards them.

"Julie! We know!" Luke said.

"Yeah, ah...I can't..." Reggie said, trying to keep up.

"Gentlemen, Katerina, what's the rush?" Caleb asked. "The party's just getting started and you have and eternity, after all."

"You know that girl that can see us? We sort of bailed on her. There's this dance at her school, and her friend Flynn is a super cool DJ, like—" Reggie went on and on.

"And what he's trying to say is we're supposed to be with her right now," Kat exclaimed, "so we have to go!" Kat rushed out the door, not noticing the boys weren't following her.

They finally made it out to her a few minutes later, and blinked to the school, where Julie was sitting on the floor next to a bunch of balloons.

"Julie! We are ready to rock this dance!" Reggie yelled, with his arms up, running inside. "Which is clearly over,"

Alex pointed to Julie on the ground, she stood up. Luke walked over to her. "Look, we are...so, so sorry that we bailed on you," he said.

"Yeah, I mean, the night really got away from us." Alex said.

"And the twins," Reggie muttered, making Luke slap him, and Kat frowned.

"Just please tell me it had nothing to do with you getting back at Carrie's dad." Julie said.

The boys all started sputtering out lies, and Kat chuckled, shaking her head.

"Julie, if it means anything...I'm really sorry, I'll talk to you later," Kat blinked out of the room.

So much happened tonight, and she already couldn't handle just seeing her father...and now, she was technically cheated on, Julie was mad at her, Reggie was an idiot, and she felt like she was going to explode because there was this bubble of pain in her body that kept growing throughout the night—

Katerina Morgan was not okay. She hadn't been all night...and it all started after she'd received that stupid stamp.
