Explanation for Cat's mood change:
Caterina Valentine had gone to a lot of psychiatrist in her life. Most of them didn't know what to do with her or how to help, until eventually one did. In her freshman year, she was finally diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder (where her mood swings ranged from sudden and short, to weeks worth of either manic or depressive mood). Since her diagnosis she'd been on some sort of medication. First of all she had mood stabilisers, which worked great for a while, until they suddenly stopped and she was sent into a depressive spiral at the end of freshmen year. So then she was also put onto anti-depressants, which also worked well for when she was in a depressive state, but when she was feeling manic she was bouncing off the ceiling. Cat didn't mind feeling like this, the only problem really was that it annoyed her friends. But as she was approaching her final year of Highschool, the ditzyness and hyperactive phases were really effecting her focus and her psychiatrist was worried about her grades dropping. So now she was also put on Ritalin, which she hated. The Ritalin made her super focused and observant of everything around her, it controlled her thoughts and took away her hyper personality, and didn't mix well with her other meds. On the upside though her grades were sky rocketing.
"Hey guys." Robbie said cheerily as he sat down on to join Jade, beck and Cat on their regular table at lunch, holding Rex in his left arm. "What ya doing there Cat?" He asked the redhead who was violently writing on her paper.
"Trigonometry." She replied directly.
"But we only just got that last period." He replied. "It's not due till next week."
"But it's easy." She replied. "Don't distract me."
"Jade could throw a pair of scissors at you and you wouldn't be distracted." Rex said.
"It could be arranged." Jade said. Even though she'd hated Cat's hyperness, she missed her best friend's antics, eventhough she wouldn't admit it aloud.
"Jade." Beck said.
"I was joking." Jade replied, rolling her eyes.
"Done." Cat smiled, placing her pencil down on her page.
"That fast?" Robbie asked.
"Uhuh."
"I'm starved." Andre announced, sitting beside Robbie.
"Have my lunch." Cat said, pushing her unopened tub of pasta in tomato sauce towards him.
"You sure Lil' Red?"
"Yeah, I'm not hungry. This Ritalin is effecting my appetite."
"I hate this." Beck sighed.
"Me too." Cat replied sadly.
"Where's Vega?" Jade asked, changing the subject.
"Behind ya." Tori said, walking up to the table. "Where you worried about me?" She mocked.
"No, I was hoping you'd gone home." Jade smirked.
"Thanks." Tori grumbled, sitting beside Cat.
"Did your pen explode?" Cat asked.
"How'd you know that?" Tori asked.
"You have a bit of ink on your shirt." She shrugged.
Tori looked down at the hem of her shirt, and as Cat said, she did have a small splodge of ink on her shirt. "How did you even notice that?"
"I-" Cat started before she was cut off by Sinjin who'd run towards their table.
"Did you hear about the new challenge at the Gorilla Club?" He asked the group.
"Really?" Ask Jade, intrigued.
"Yeah." Sinjin continued. "They're unveiling it tonight."
"What is it?" Robbie asked.
"No one knows." He then left as quickly as he appeared, ready to spread the news to other tables.
"Who's up for going then?" Asked Andre.
"I'm in, not sure about Robbie though." Rex said.
"Oi!" He yelled at him puppet. "I'm in."
"Presuming Rex was real, he'd be too small to do any of the challenges." Cat rolled her eyes.
"I am 'real'." Rex said back.
"Shut up Robbie." Jade cut in.
"You're mean." Robbie replied.
"And you carry around a puppet." Jade retorted.
"He's not a puppet." Robbie stormed away.
"He's right, that was mean you two." Beck said to Jade and Cat.
"Honestly Beck, you aren't concerned about him still thinking Rex is his own person?" Cat asked.
"You're right." Tori said. "If he keeps doing that, he'll get bullied once he leaves for college."
"He already gets bullied." Beck said, looking pointedly at Jade.
"It's called toughening him up." Jade replied. "So anyway, meet at Vega's at 8 to go to The Gorilla Club?"
"Why my house?" Tori asked.
"Cause it's the closest."
"True."
"See ya later then guys." Cat said, before grabbing her bag and standing up.
"Where you going?" Beck asked.
"Someones gotta go comfort Robbie."
