The long-awaited Heartbreak Circle returns! The first one, in my honest opinion, is the best story I ever wrote and posted on here because of the range of emotions I was feeling before, during, and after writing/posted it. The story will start after the events towards the end of the episode, The Blonde Squad.
"Do you think I should dye my hair blonde?" Robbie Shapiro nearly gave up on the courtship, stunned tat Cat Valentine could not zero in on his intentions. Shame that I'm a teenager, Robbie thought, for he so desperately wanted to be with her. He could not pinpoint when the feelings started but they inserted itself, festered with arms wide open.
"Cat, why did you-" Robbie bit his lip because he very nearly called her out for her taste in shallow, judgy douche men. Luckily, she didn't seem to notice the hiccup. Robbie excused himself soon rather, too quickly to make a subtle, subliminal exit.
"Are you running away from me?" Cat looked at Robbie quizzically, like she knew what a shy guy was feeling.
"Why don't you ask yourself those first five words?" Robbie immediately regretted saying that because it was said too firm and the words reeked with fissures. The escape from Cat turned into a dash from Cat. Answering a question with a question was good, but not in this situation. He was encouraged by family to get out and socialize with people.
"Improve my social capital, whatever that means…" Robbie decided to head over to Dave and Busters over by nearby mall, to take advantage of that eat and play combo.

"Hi- I'd like a soda please." Robbie sat at the booth with a nice view of the game floor. After ordering a soda and eating a sandwich, he went to do work on the games, alternating between basketball, golf, and the racing games.
"New this, new that; it's all the same really… I sure miss the Tekken simulation game." After another hour of game play, Robbie returned to his booth with beads of sweat because hey, button-mashing can be a work out in and of itself. You would not imagine who it was that was sitting and behaving swimmingly in his booth…
"Cat?"
"Hey, Robbie!" Cat whisked herself from the booth and gave Robbie a hug, which made his body warm and palms limp. He really enjoyed her hugs as her affection was warm, open and loving. It made it adorable when she was on her toes for the long hug.
"Are you here by yourself?" Robbie lowered his head and murmured a yes reply, informing Cat that he is 'encouraged' by his family to raise my social capital.
"What does that mean?"
"Um, I guess to make more friends? I haven't exactly done that today, but I had fun banging on fools playing Silent Scope!" That shot of confidence drew a smile from Cat. Robbie, still in the lower class regarding social capital, asked if she still planned to dye her hair blonde.
"Not anymore." Cat replied, winking at Robbie, who was confused when earlier in the day, she was fiery with her determination.
*Earlier in the day*
Robbie was long gone when Cat processed what had happened. All I said was that I wanted to dye my hair blonde, she said aloud.
"That's where you erred my dear Cat." From behind the curtain, Jade West appeared and curtsied. She sat in the chair next to Cat and explained why she erred.
"Robbie wrote that song, and I think it was swell," Jade impersonated Robbie's voice, "but more important than me imitating his voice? He wrote that song for you." Jade let that trail for effect, with the hope that Cat recognized what was just said.
"… what did you say?" Jade nearly shrieked, so she broke things down even further:
And everyday when we're walking down the street
Is like every other day because you're constantly walking down the street
And everyday I'm only thinking about you
And a bunch of other important things,but primarily you
x…x
You're more fun than Frisbee in the park
Or popping edamame
We go together like a parade to confetti
And later if you're hungry, I'll make you some spaghetti
"As you can see Cat, these 2 bars talk specifically about you. You're always on his mind and despite what we think of you, he thinks you're a cool girl and would even cook for you if you were hungry. Cat, Robbie wrote that song for you." How did Cat react to the now realization? She wiped away tears of joy.

"Huh, so Jade appeared from behind a curtain and told you all that?" Cat nodded in agreement, inching her hands slowly towards Robbie's. She apologized for being clueless, for not "seeing who really wanted the best for me."
"You are a sweet guy, and I want to be with you." Cat's hands were now holding Robbie's, which the latter could not suppress a blush and smile.
