Chapter 1
"You did it!" Nathan shouted in accomplishment as he turned to smile at his red headed friend. Cat smiled back. She was lost in her own mind. They had finally finished the first ever song on her new album "Pink Champagne" and was feeling great. "We both did it" she said to her sound producer. "Without you it would just be a nice voice but you turned it to music". After playing the song, he started dancing to it. "So silly". Cat thought to herself as she turned to watch Nathan. It seemed that, around him, there was imaginary confetti falling to the ground. She stood up and started dancing with him. "This is my moment" Cat's mind echoed. After her debut album was released it was a big hit. 8 of the original 13 tracks were no.1 on iTunes and she had won several awards. Best new artist, best pop video and best red carpet look on the VMA's, Best pop song, Best new artist and song of the year on the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards. Not only that, but she just found out a few days ago that she was nominated for 3 Grammy awards. "Wow". She thought. "I really am living my dreams."
"Ok, so I'm going to break down your schedule for you" Cat's assistant, Macy said to her. Cat sighed. She loved being busy and doing loads of interviews and press conferences but right now, all she wanted was a break. It was a Sunday morning, the day Macy was to inform her on the schedule she had ready for Cat. "Ok, tomorrow morning at 8am you are expected at LA photo studio to do a photo-shoot to promote your Grammy nominations". She says. "Then in the afternoon, I set up a press conference that will last 1 hour and a half from 2 until 3:30. This will be held outside Staples Arena on the 3rd stage to the left of the building. Then after that, I booked a nice dinner for you with Lloyd at the "Blue Ivy". She said that like she thought it was a great idea. What was she thinking?
Cat wasn't excited about her manager's idea to stage an unreal relationship with one of the "hottest male superstar of this generation" or so her manager said. Lloyd was handsome, she must admit, but he wasn't nice. He was selfish and self-centred, everything a loving boyfriend should not be. "Macy, must I go out with Lloyd on a Monday? I just dealt with him last Friday night when he said I shouldn't wear yellow because it makes me look fat" Cat said to her assistant, rather annoyed. It was true. That last Friday she thought she looked fine dressed in a long yellow blouse that she wore with a black skirt. She wore boots and had a nice handbag as well, but as suspected, she would never satisfy him unless she walked to their "dates" in a bikini. She was sure of that. "Well I'm sorry Cat, he asked me to book a date for the both of you so I made reservations. I can't get the money back if you decide not to go." Macy said. Cat sighed. She would have to go to the dinner date; she didn't really have a choice. Macy went through the rest of the schedule and everyday was more hectic that the last. She made Macy promise she wouldn't book a date with Lloyd until late the next week. With that she was happy. At least for now.
She had the rest of the day off and it was still early in the morning so she decided to go out. She walked to her bedroom and ran a bath and added a lavender scent. Easing herself in, she started to think back to her high school years. She had gone to a top school for the performing arts, Hollywood Arts school. Not only was the school great but so were all her friends there. Tori Vega. Tori was one of the most talented girls she had ever met. She was always great in high school. She would sing at school programs, write songs and perform them anywhere, she even planned the school's first ever prom! Cat remembered singing alongside the beautiful singer feeling so inferior. But Tori is in New York now. Apparently she moved their a few months after she graduated and got into Broadway. Cat had seen one of the productions she was in 2 years ago. That was when she was Harris. He was good in almost everything. He could play so many instruments and was a singer-songwriter. Robbie Shappiro and his puppet Rex. It was funny being friends with such a character.
She would never forget him. Ever. Jade West. The beautiful yet scary best friend she had. They were so different. Jade was a great singer and actress. Cat hasn't from her since graduation but is sure her and Beck are married now, living a great life. Beck. Beck Oliver. Cat's best friend since..forever. But not anymore. She had always had a crush on Beck but never told him cause he was dating Jade. Even when the two of them broke up she never said anything and she regretted that because soon after, him and Jade got back together. Cat was sure he was extremely successful. Living the dream just as she was. Except Cat had never had her dream. She was missing the biggest part of it. Suddenly, her phone's ring tone disturbed her thoughts. Cat sighed. "Even on my days off I can't relax" she complained to herself. She looked at her phone. It showed an unknown number calling. "Probably a fan" she thought to herself. "Why not?" She answered the phone and put it to her ear. "Hello" She said. "This is Cat Valentine, how can I help you?" If it was a fan, she wanted to sound professional. "Um. Cat..this is Beck"
