So, basically this story is all of Cat Valentine(Ariana Grande)'s moments from every episode. Each chapter is a different episode, and each segment is a different scene from that episode. The POV shifts in each scene. Maybe it'll shift more, I don't know. So, get it? Got it? Good! ;) enjoy!
After Trina ran off to find some Eric boy, Tori turns her head and sees a girl with flaming red hair walking by. Very few people can pull of that color. Tori's impressed, to say the least. Anyways, she calls out and stops the girl.
"Hey! Um, can you tell m-"
"Oh my god! You're Tori, right?" the girl squeals, cutting Tori off. She's got huge brown eyes and a super high-pitched voice. Tori smiles a little bit.
"Uh huh," Tori says.
"You were so awesome in the Big Showcase!" the girl exclaims, smiling warmly.
"Aw, thanks!" Tori says, smiling even bigger at the bubbly girl's friendliness. Her enthusiasm must be catching. Tori's really glad that this girl thought she did a good job because she could definitely use some encouragement. New environments aren't really her thing. Especially not ones as crazy as this.
"My name's Cat." the redhead continues with a huge grin.
"Oh! Like the animal," Tori comments without thinking. The girls eyebrows crinkle and her expression turns from happy to hurt in a split second.
"What's that supposed to mean?" she cries. Tori is instantly bewildered, and she tries to rectify the situation.
"Nothing!" she stammers. "I-I love cats."
"Me too, they're so cute," the girl giggles before turning around and walking away, leaving a befuddled, still smiling Tori behind.
Maybe she doesn't know it, but Robbie does. He sits a few seats away from her as Sikowitz introduces Tori. He sees all of her expressions. Her cute, worried one. Her happy, smiling one. He's not being creepy. Really, he's not. He just likes observing her.
"Cat, Eli, Beck, and Tori," Jade says. Robbie watches Cat bounce over to where Jade stands onstage. He watches her play with her nails and look down at the audience. She's so adorable.
"Okay, let's give 'em a place," Sikowitz says, folding his arms.
"Home!" Robbie volunteers, eager to take part in the scene that Cat's participating in.
"Home!" Sikowitz echoes, while Rex readies himself to make a snarky comment.
"Ooo, real creative," Rex shoots.
"You be quiet!" Robbie snaps back. He doesn't really have split-personality issues. He just finds that it's easier for him to express the thoughts that he doesn't know how to say through Rex. So what if sometimes he gets a little carried away?
His attention focuses back on the front of the classroom when Beck says,
"I got fired?" It sounds a lot like a question to Robbie, but he (and Rex) holds his tongue for the sake of the scene.
"Again?" Eli whines in a child's voice.
"Our daddy's a loser!" Cat sighs. Robbie laughs at her baby-voice while Eli nods solemnly beside her.
"It's okay," Jade says in a voice that's so not-Jade that Robbie has to smile. "I have great news that'll cheer up this whole family!" she says slowly, heading towards the doorway where Tori stands. "I went to the animal shelter and got us," she pauses and pulls Tori to center-stage, "a dog."
"Uh, yep. I'm the new family dog. Woof," Tori says weakly. Cat raises an eyebrow at Tori's un-animalistic behavior, but stays in character. I can't help but be drawn to her face again. She has this milky skin and smoky makeup that makes her look stunning.
"Wow!" I hear her cry as I'm pulled out of my reverie. She has bent down, and now she's stroking Tori's hair, as if she really was a dog.
"Can the dog sleep in our room?" Beck asks and I hold back a snort at Jade's angry, "No, honey, it can't!"
"Uh oh," she continues, standing next to Tori. "Looks like this dog has bugs in her fur."
"Uh, woof?" Tori barks, confused. Cat and Eli recoil, and I take note of yet another one of Cat's expressions – disgusted. Jade continues saying something about dogs and coffee, and the next thing Robbie knows, Jade's pouring iced coffee all over Tori, and the poor girl's running out the door.
Andre sees Cat round the corner while Rex and Robbie are arguing.
"You guys," she calls out. "Sikowitz really wants everybody back in class!" He chuckles at her hand motions and the way her left eyebrow wiggles up and down when she's trying to make a point.
"And you really wanted a date to the prom last year, but you didn't get one, did you?" Rex asks cruelly. Andre raises an eyebrow, because Rex/Robbie knows just as well as Andre does that Cat was in fact asked several times to prom, but she turned them all down because she didn't want to go with any of them.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Cat cries out, confusion and outrage evident in her voice. Clearly she doesn't understand what he's talking about.
"Rex!" Robbie growls, putting it off on Rex, as usual.
"Tell your puppet to quit being mean to me!" Cat begs Robbie, dismayed.
"He's not a puppet, that's an offensive term!" Robbie yells, his default answer ever since the fourth grade when he learned how to make Rex talk for him. Cat's expression can only be described as disturbed as Tori says,
"Yeah, this school's pretty normal," and pats Andre on the shoulder.
"Just, please go back to class and tell Sikowitz we'll be there in a minute."
"You better hurry," Cat says, turning around and heading back to the classroom. Andre rolls his eyes discreetly at her mood shift and watches his best girl-friend walk down the hallway.
"Alright. Andre, Cat, Beck, and Jade," Tori says, smiling. Cat thinks Tori is, like, the coolest person ever, and she felt so bad when Jade poured that coffee all over her yesterday during improv. "Yeah, you," Tori says to Jade. Jade shrugs and heads towards the stage. She pulls Beck towards her and kisses him passionately.
Cat sees Tori's face change, just a little bit. Enough to see that it affected her. Cat likes looking at people and things. She likes observing the way people react to different situations. She can tell a lot about a person just by the way they react. For example, Tori doesn't really like Beck that way, but she really dislikes Jade, so she doesn't want to see them kiss. She doesn't like Jade having things.
"Relax, girls. Let's all try to get along," Beck says calmly, jolting Cat out of her thoughts.
"Totally!" she says quickly, not sure what letter they're on.
"Er! Cat, your line had to start with an S," Sikowitz says, looking regretful.
"Salami!" The word bursts out of Cat's mouth, simply because it was the first word she could think of. She isn't really trying to stay in the game.
"It's too late, Cat," Sikowitz says quickly.
"Aw, my life's the worst!" Cat whines, throwing her arms out. She loves overreacting because it makes things interesting, and interesting is always more fun than boring.
"Here's a piece of candy," Sikowitz says, holding up a Starburst. Cat's so much happier now, so she says,
"Yay, I love candy!" and heads off the stage to where Sikowitz stands. Then she grabs the candy and sits down next to Robbie. She has already forgiven him about the prom thing, because it was Rex's fault, not Robbie's.
So, Cat unwraps her candy, puts it in her mouth, and just enjoys watching Tori and Jade make fun of each other alphabetically for the rest of the class period.
