After watching "Cat's New Boyfriend" (for like the 10th time) I got this idea. It was just something I kept thinking during the scene where they're all at lunch, and Jade asks Cat if she invited Daniel to the kick back. Maybe it was just the actor, but Daniel always looked at Jade (or Liz) when he talked, and he also has that bad-boy-spiky hair-man jewelry-motorcycle dressed kinda guy look, which in my opinion seems like someone Jade would or would've dated in the past. Also it be more intense if Cat dated her best friend's, (Jade) ex rather than her good friend Tori's. Also the fact that Jade is dating Beck now, would make this even more dramatic. Anyways here's my story, hope y'all like it or better yet love it.

Chapter 1: Daniel
Jade was walking through the halls of the prestigious high school, Hollywood Arts with her two-year long boyfriend Beck. The were just casually talking when she looked up and saw someone familiar. It was Daniel, her ex-boyfriend from 8th grade. Beck stopped to look behind him since his girlfriend was no longer talking and instead was staring at something else. So his head turned the direction of Jade's glance. Daniel was looking around the hallway and staircase when suddenly he spotted Jade. He gave an awkward wave and smile. Since they saw each other there was no escaping this. Daniel slowly strutted towards Jade, and Jade did the same with Beck walking behind her confused.
"Uh...hey." Daniel greeted, looking at the ground, hands in his jean pockets.
"What are you doing here Daniel?" Jade responded almost with no emotion in her voice. She sipped her coffee nonchalantly. Beck looked between the two.
"Um...hi, I'm Beck. So you're Daniel?" Beck asked trying to brighten the mood.
"Yeah...so are you like...Jade's boyfriend?"
"Yup I am, you Jade's friend or something?"
"Uh..." Daniel looked at Jade. Jade replied, still with no emotion.
"Beck, that's my ex-boyfriend. From 8th grade."
"Oh...well that's cool..." Beck nodded, now understanding why there was an awkward silence.
"So I ask again, what are you doing here Daniel?"
"Oh, right. I'm actually here to meet with my-
"DANIEL!" Cat screamed in excitement as she ran down the stairs with her arms in the air. Beck smirked at her excitement, forgetting that this was Jade's ex. Jade however almost spat out her coffee.
"Hey babe!" Daniel kissed Cat while hugging her.
"This is the guy I was telling you about! Tee hee, my boyfriend!" Cat exclaimed to Jade.
"Oh. So this is him." Jade replied.
"Yeah, Daniel! These are my friends, Beck and Jade!"
Jade scoffed. "Pft yeah, we've already met." Beck had a bad feeling in his stomach. Jealousy? Fear? Nervousness? He couldn't tell but he pushed them aside.
"Oh! So you two were friends?" Cat innocently asked. Jade rolled her eyes.
"Um...yeah, I guess you could say that." Daniel answered nervously looking at Jade.
"Wait, I don't get it. Why are you two acting all weird?"
"We dated okay!" Jade yelled. Cat gasped.
"BUT we broke up over two years ago back in 8th grade!" Daniel tried to save himself and not get Cat upset.
"Oh...okay so now you two are just friends right?"
"YES!" Daniel and Jade spoke in unison.
"Oh okay! Yay, so it's all happy again?" They all nodded.
"So Daniel what are you doing here?" Cat asked since they all were still in an awkward silence.
"I asked him that twice and he has yet to respond." Jade sneered annoyed, rolling her eyes.
"I'm just here to see my sweet, girlfriend." Daniel replied while glaring at Jade, then sweetly back at Cat.
"Okay, well you saw her. Now you can leave." Jade snapped. Both Daniel and Cat looked slightly offended.
"Jade, they probably want to do more than just say "hi" to each other. Let's go over there and do something else." Beck cut in.
"Whatever." Jade walked away.
"I'm sorry...for her."
"It's cool." Daniel answered while rubbing the back of his neck. The two boys smiled at each other before Beck walked back to his girlfriend who was waiting by the lockers.
When Beck was next to Jade again, he pressed her against the lockers which caused her to be a little surprised.
"What the hell was that?" Beck scolded in a whisper.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" She grunted in response and tried to walk away but Beck pulled her back. Their faces were inches apart and bodies pressed against each other.
"Yes, you do. But I don't. Why were you all awkward with Daniel? Just talk to me." His eyes softened, and Jade looked away but then back up to meet his gaze.
"I dumped him during 8th grade when I found him cheating on me. I was upset because I am still furious with him, and now he's dating my best friend. You know Cat, she's innocent and naive. What if he does to her what he did to me?" Beck looked sad now, to think he was almost mean to Jade for acting the way she did to that jack ass. He looked back to Daniel and Cat who were now passionately making out. Beck hated him now too but looked back to Jade who he saw was also staring at them.
"I loved him actually." She whispered while still watching the two make out.
"I know Babe. But don't worry, we can sit Cat down later when she's alone and tell her what you told me. Okay?"
"Okay. I just don't want her to be too "in love" like I was and then get heartbroken. She's my best friend believe it or not, and I love her."
"I know you do. You're a good person with a big heart."
"Pft! Well lets not go to that extreme. But yeah, I know what you mean." Jade shrugged and then the two made out for a while. Beck pushed her upwards and things got heated really fast. They were breathing hard and moaning into each other as Jade's hands fisted Beck's hair and his hands roamed her sides, back, then ass. Then Beck remembering they were in school and not in his RV, broke the kiss.
"Be-eck. We were just getting to the good part!" Jade whined into his neck.
"I know Babe, but we're in school. But I promise I'll make it up to you tonight." Jade giggled and moaned as he started nibbling and kissing her neck.
During lunch, Cat, Tori, Beck and Jade were sitting at their usual table when Daniel came over. Jade mentally rolled her eyes. He came up behind Cat and covered her eyes.
"Guess who?" He asked her playfully.
"Um...heh heh. Is it Beck?" Everyone looked at her like an idiot.
"I'm sitting right next to you." Beck stated. Cat felt to her left, feeling Beck's face and at one point even put her finger in his mouth which Beck pulled out instantly.
"Heh heh oh yeah! Hey Beck." Cat realized.
"Um...no it was me." Daniel chuckled awkwardly.
"Daniel!" Cat cried happily pulling his face towards hers to kiss.
"What are you doing here?" She asked after the kiss. He sat beside her.
"I thought I'd come visit you for lunch." He smiled. Jade this time rolled her eyes for real, as did Beck since both knew the truth. But no one else saw them.
"So Cat, did you invite Daniel to the kick back?" Tori asked throwing a french fry in her mouth.
"Oh my god, I forgot."
"Kick back?" He asked looking at Cat. She turned to answer him.
"Yeah, once every semester the school lets us have a Saturday night party right here on the parking lot. Live music, cheese fountain."
"Cheese fountain?"
"Cheddar." She replied matter-o-factly while raising her eyebrows. "Will you come?" Oddly, Daniel then looked at Jade then back at Cat. "Totally!"
Beck saw this and furrowed his eyebrows then looked at Jade who was looking at her salad. He placed a protective arm around her just for the hell of it. After a few more minutes of just Cat, Daniel and Tori talking to each other, Tori and Daniel left leaving just Cat, Beck and Jade. The couple found this a bit strange but ignored it because they had more important things to talk about. Such as, telling Cat about her cheating boyfriend. Though neither one of them wanted to start this, knowing how sensitive Cat's feelings are. Finally Cat was the one that broke the awkward silence.
"So are you guys gonna go to the kick back?"
"Yeah." They replied in unison not looking at her but at their food.
"Coolio, well I gotta go talk to Andre about a song for class. Talk to you guys later!"
"WAIT!" They both screamed, once again in unison. They looked at each other worriedly but gulped and continued.
"Whaty?" Cat smiled sitting back down. She looked at her friends cute and innocently.
"Cat, we need to tell you something. About Daniel." Jade spoke calmly. Cat's smile turned to a frown.
"What about Daniel?"
"He's...not right for you." Beck answered hoping she would just trust them. But even Cat's not dumb enough to just go with "he's not right for you." She started to get a little defensive.
"What's that supposed to mean? I thought you guys wanted me to be happy! Daniel makes me happy!"
"We do! We do! It's just that...okay this is really hard to say because we never want to make you upset but...Daniel is a cheater. He cheated on Jade." Beck stated, trying to calm Cat down.
"And that's why I dumped him. I found out he was seeing other girls and when I went to confront him I saw him kissing my cousin." Cat had tears in her eyes but wiped them away before they fell.
"We're sorry. I just didn't want you to find out the way I did." Jade always spoke more calmly to Cat when it was serious. If this was Tori, she'd laugh but this was her best friend.
"No. You're lying! You're both lying! You're just jealous! Jealous that Daniel doesn't love you anymore! But he loves me! He-he told me." A tear fell from her eye.
"Cat, why would I lie? You're my best friend!" Jade reasoned but Cat kept shaking her head.
"No! No! No! Stop it! You're so mean to me!" She ran away crying. Beck and Jade sat there watching the red-head sprint away. Neither spoke a word. After about a minute of just staring, Jade spoke up.
"She doesn't trust me."
"No no. Don't say it like that-
"WELL HOW ELSE WOULD YOU SAY IT, HUH?" Jade interrupted, her cold blue eyes getting wide. Beck closed his in frustration and raised his hands to show surrender.
"No, I'm just saying-
"WHAT ARE YOU SAYING EXACTLY?" Jade was getting seriously pissed. Not really at Beck, just the situation.
"Jade! Calm down! Cat knows you love her, and will come around eventually." He pulled her into a comforting hug, Jade just let silent tears fall.
"But what if she doesn't? What if she gets crushed? She's a sensitive person, you know it just as well as I do and I can't stand it when she's hurt."
"I know Babe, but honestly Cat isn't a baby. She's 16. This might sound wrong, but sometimes people need to experience heartbreak in their life. It teaches them maturity, and more importantly, what not to be like. You're being a great friend trying to warn her about Daniel, but whatever's meant to be, will happen." Jade smiled at Beck's wise words. She snuggled closer to him and he just placed a kiss on her forehead. Jade was still worried, but Beck was right, plus Cat has friends who will support her if need be
That's chapter 1, I know its long but whatever. I'm writing chapter 2 right now so stay tuned! R&R as always please. Thanks, hope y'all having a good break, can't believe it's almost Christmas! :O
