Cade: Complications

Chapter 1

Cat's P.O.V

So I'm sat in Sikowitz's classroom alongside my best friend, Jade, sure she can be mean sometimes but she's my best friend and I couldn't live without her. Sikowitz is telling our group about some weird thing that had happened to him, something about him getting chased down the school drive by a fat labrador retriever. I just giggled at his craziness, somehow I'm strange one. His story wasn't exactly the most exciting news and I honestly wasn't in the mood to listen to him so I played with my hair whilst looking around the room. I noticed Jade looking at Sikowitz with a slightly puzzled look on her face, it was kind of cute...

Jade would probably kill me if she knew that's what I was thinking, she noticed me staring at her and gave me a little smile, I smiled back not wanting her to realise that I'm not feeling quite like myself today. I felt really down for some reason, I was fine in the morning but then I got a text from Jade telling me her and Beck were going out to dinner tonight so she couldn't come to my sleepover, now it is just going to be me and Tori, it was meant to be a girl's night in but I couldn't let her know that I didn't want her to go out with Beck tonight since Beck is going to Canada for two weeks tomorrow morning. I shook my head and turned my attention back to Sikowitz, but I couldn't help myself from looking over at Jade every so often, she looked so pretty, everyone says Tori's the pretty one, Tori's pretty but she's no where near as beautiful as Jade.

Jade's P.O.V

Sikowitz's class was so boring, he kept rambling on about a load of junk that has nothing to do with drama but trying to argue with him isn't worth the time or the effort. I just sighed, rolled my eyes and pulled out my phone, Sikowitz was too busy rambling on to notice I had it out. With nothing else to do I started texting Cat, she was right beside me but it was easier to avoid getting caught by Sikowitz like this when he's on one of his rants. I put my phone on my lap and looked over to Cat, who was typing her response to my last message.

I noticed she'd obviously misspelled whatever she was typing cause she quickly tapped the back space several times before returning to her actual message, I chuckled quietly at her, she's just too adorable, even I can't deny that. While thinking of Cat I remembered I had told her that I couldn't come to her sleepover tonight, that would explain why she's acting a little different, and clearly trying to hide it but nothing escapes my notice. I felt a little guilty for deciding to go out with Beck but he is going away so I'll be spending more time with her anyway.

I felt a small vibration from my phone, realising it must be Cat I looked at my phone and was surprised at what I read.

Haha,! That's funny Jadey, but you shouldn't be so mean to Tori. She's not so bad besides you don't have to be jealous of her, she's not half as pretty or talented as you are! Heehee 3 xoxox

I expected to message to say just as pretty and talented not to say I'm better, I might be over reacting but I don't even think Beck himself would say I'm better than the great Tori Vega.

Cat's P.O.V

I quickly shoved my phone into my bag when I realised Sikowitz was done with his speech, I urged Jade to do the same but it was too late, Sikowitz spotted Jade's phone and took it from her, he looked at the phone and laughed. I looked at Jade and she whispered that our chat was on the screen. I wondered what he was laughing at, I was almost certain he'd speak to Jade about what she'd written about Tori but apparently not. A few minutes later the bell rang and Sikowitz finally managed to calm himself, he got the others to leave, so in the room Jade and I were left alone with our weird teacher.

"Here Jade, have your phone." He said while handing her the phone, she took it and reached for her bag, I reached for mine too. "Jade go to lunch now, and Cat, mind if I have a word with you?" I looked up a little surprised but agreed to speak with him.

"Jade," I said as Jade was about to leave the room "could you please get me a sandwich and save me a seat?" She nodded and smiled then left the room. I turned my attention back to Sikowitz. "Okay? So what is it that you wanted to talk to me about?"

He started laughing again but quickly calmed himself and answered "I wanted to ask you what you think of Jade?" I looked puzzled for a moment but just shrugged and replied, "Well I obviously care about her, she's my best friend. I think she's smart, talented and pretty too if that's what you mean?"

He smiled, "Hmm, I only wondered if you maybe want more than a friendship with her, Cat." I was completely shocked, "What?! What's that supposed to mean?!"

"Nothing bad, Cat, the way you two act can sometimes be seen more like a couple than two best friends, but I didn't mean anything horrible by it kid, just think out what I said." I stared at him still shocked at what he had implied, Jade was my best friend, nothing more...right? "Run along now Cat." He said gesturing for me to leave.

I walked out feeling over run with emotion. Was he right? Do I have stronger feelings for Jade?
