A/N: Ok peeps. This is a one shot right now.
Cat's smile was much larger than usual. Sikowitz had just texted her the name of her person for secret santa. Cat had gotten Jade. For most people even the thought of Jade made them cringe, but Cat smiled when she thought of the goth girl. For as long as Cat could remember, and it was much, much longer than most people thought, she had been in love with Jade. And not just as a friend. Because unknown to everyone but Andre, the only person Cat felt she could trust with such a huge secret, Cat was a lesbian. She had been ever since early in her junior high years. And even though it didn't seem like it now, Jade was Cat's only female friend, until Tori came along. They did everything together. They had lunch together, had sleepovers, watched movies, and they were inseparable. Until Beck came along.
Jade had started changing before she and Beck started dating, due to the problems between her parents, but when Beck asked her out, Jade no longer had time for Cat, and even started acting mean to her. So Cat began her act, the act of being ditzy, scatterbrained, and spaced out. Mainly to protect herself from Jade's harsh words, but also from the feelings she felt for the dark haired girl. So when Beck and Jade had broken up several weeks before, Cat was happy. Not about the break up, she loved Beck like a brother and felt bad for the way things had happened, but she knew her once chance to have Jade back in her life had come. Also her once chance to tell Jade how she really felt had arrived.
As soon as she finished reading the text from their crazy teacher, Cat instantly called Andre.
"Hey little red!" came Andre's voice on the other end of the call. Cat smiled at the familar greeting.
"Hey Andre, guess what?" Cat said.
"Please tell me your brother isn't stuck in a tree again..."Andre said, getting a laugh from Cat, who knew how many times that had been the nature of the call.
"No, he's actually not even at the house. I just wanted to tell you that Sikowitz gave me Jade for secret Santa." Cat said slowly.
Andre smiled to himself and said, "That's great. You have any gift ideas yet?"
Cat started to speak, and suddenly realized that her big opportunity left her without a way to make the most of it.
"I'll take the silence as a no?" Andre questioned.
"No, I don't know..." Cat said.
"Well, why don't you write her a song, or a poem." Andre suggested.
Cat nodded to herself and gave Andre an air kiss as she said, "Thanks Andre. I'll talk to you later!" She quickly hung up the phone and sat down on the pink blanket on her floor and tried to think of something to write.
Two and a half hours later Cat woke up and found that she had fallen asleep on her floor, and even worse for her, she hadn't written a single thing. She knew that the sooner she could give Jade something to tell her how she felt, the better. She had a few hours before bed, so she got in the shower and used the time to think.
Upon getting out, she decided to use her act to help her write for Jade. It wouldn't be totally honest, but she would get the point across.
The next day at school, Cat walked up to Jade's locker, and quietly said, "Jade...", and held up the box containing Jade's gift.
Jade turned around, and was confused by Cat's attitude this morning, and slowly took the box. It was very light and Jade almost feared that it would be a pink teddy bear or something. But when she opened the box, her breath caught in her throat.
Inside the box was a single sheet of paper, perfectly flat, with emaculate handwriting, and a black rose laid across it. Jade looked at Cat, and saw anticipation and anxiety in the redhead's eyes. Jade grabbed the piece of paper, and read the short poem.
Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
Jade West, I am deeply in love with you
Jade read the poem several times, and felt tears coming into her eyes. She looked at Cat, whose chocolate brown eyes were also watering up. Jade put the poem back in the box and set the gift box in her locker and slowly walked to Cat, and wrapped her in a hug, sending a warm feeling through Cat. Jade looked straight into Cat's eyes, and both girls felt a sudden happiness at what had just happened, unspoken. Without saying a word, that one hug told Cat that Jade felt the same, and the redhead felt happier than she had in many years, knowing that the girl she had loved for years was now hers.
A/N: So here is my first true oneshot with no smut. I am leaving it up to you, my readers, as to whether or not I should continue with this story. More reviews, means I am more likely to write more to this. Thanks everyone.
