R&R.
Kat was up, ready for school. she had grabbed a box of lucky charms, (those stale marshmellows are actually quite delish!), and sat herself down at the kitchen table. Becky, her older sister, was up too, already munching on toast. Luke, Kat's brother, was grabbing his keys and waiting patiently for Kat to finish. Becky had a firm grip on the remote control, switching it to Hot Tunes, which she loved. She was watching intentivly, then a picture of Connect three popped on the screen.
"Ouuu, your boyfriend," Her older sister taunted, watching Kat shoot her a death glare.
Luke rolled his eyes, slamming his head on the table. He had listened to endless talks about Nate this year, ones that always made him uncomfortable and pleading to leave the room. Hey, it was called girl talk for a reason, guys just couldn't handle it. Kat ignored her brother's grumpy sounds and listened to the tv, she was excited to hear news about the band, that is until it zoomed into only Nate and then another picture slided in next to his photo- one of a girl.
"Isn't that.. Sarah Mopen?" Luke asked, raising his eyebrows, his attention suddenly right at the tv. Sarah was an actress, a very famous actress, she was Becky's age, 17. Which meant that she was two years older than Nate- which meant that she was also two years older than Kat. Then it happened, Kat felt an ache like something horrible was about to happen. She nodded to answer Luke, then stared at the screen.
"It seems like the youngest member of Connect Three has found himself his own girlfriend," Becky scoffed and shook her head, like she knew this was going to happen eventually. Kat dropped her spoon in her cereal, unsure if this was real or not, "And he did himself good too. Nate is said to be dating Sarah Mopen, who's starred in various movies. The two were seen outside of the romantic restaraunt 'That's amore', holding hands and acting very affectionate," Kat's throat went dry, then Becky let out another scoff. She glanced at her brother, who seemed to be zoned into the show, pffft- like he'd care if it weren't Sarah, "A close source to the band confirms their relationship, saying that they liked each other as soon as they met. We're sure thousands of girls are dissapointed at this point- but be happy, these hollywood relationships never last long," The photo's switched to another topic, but the Rother kids were still staring at the tv. Insert heart breaking sound here.
Becky sighed and pushed her empty plate away with her, looking at her sister, "Thousands of girls are dissapointed, but one specifically, is devastated," Kat moved her red hair away from her eyes and swallowed, looking up at Becky, hoping she'd know what to do. Luke was now watching his sisters, "You don't know for sure, Katty, you have to ask him."
"But I only talk to him twice a week," Kat said quietly, hoping that she would last the day at school without completely freaking out. Becky leaned back, not sure on how to reply to that comment. But Kat immediatly took out her cellphone and clicked Nate's number, "Whoah- what are you doing, he calls you remember-."
Kat frowned and opened his name to a text box, "I'm only texting him."
"You call him and that long distance bill is going to add up," Becky warned, pulling her brown hair into an elastic. Luke lifted his dark head of hair off of the table and glared at his youngest sister, pointing to the door casually, "Kat- you better go, Luke's about to have another panic attack."
Luke glared at his sister, "It wasn't a panic attack- it was anxiety."
Becky snorted with laughter, shaking her head and getting up- getting ready to drive herself to her school (she went to a differen't school than Kat and Luke), "That's the same thing, Idiot."

Taylor sat at home, just getting home from school. She had missed Hot Tunes that morning and was thoroughly regretting it since every girl in school was talking about Connect Three- that is, if they weren't talking about how Lily Carlin ( the singer ) was pregnant. So as she flung her feet up on the chair and waited a few minutes, passing Lily's story, a picture of Connect three flew across the screen.
"Yay!" She said enthusiasticaly to nobody, since she was the only one in the room. The picture switched to one member on his own, Nate, "Uh-Oh," Taylor frowned, listening to the reporter talking. Her eyes widened when she saw a picture of Sarah Mopen collide with Nate's on the screen, "Uh-oh, Uh-oh, Uh-oh!" she said loudly, lurching forwards- nearly falling off of the couch.
"It seems like the youngest member of Connect Three has found himself his own girlfriend and he did himself good too. Nate is said to be dating Sarah Mopen, who's starred in various movies. The two were seen outside of the romantic restaraunt 'That's amore', holding hands and acting very affectionate,"
Taylor let out a weird noise, not sure what it was, but she immediatly ran for her cellphone. When she got it she opened it up, already seeing one text message- she opened it and read it, did u watch hottunes- im 2 scared 2 call Kat' - Ange. Taylor directly replied to that text message and wrote: 'I kno- its gotta be a lie right, Nate wouldn't do that'.But honestly, she didn't know. It was camp romance, summer fling, something special. But it was never sworn to last- it couldn't, especially when they're famous rockstars. Jason hadn't called her once this year, no texts, no calls, no anything. But she had moved on.. or so she thought. It was hard seeing him on the t.v everyday but it was even harder knowing that he had probably moved on- like she said he would at camp.
She told him- Taylor was always right.

Angelika sat on her bed, clutching her cellphone. She didn't know if she should call Kat, or not call Kat. Kat was deeply involved with Nate on an emotional level, she loved him. It was her first romance and she had a feeling that Kat would be taking this hard. But she didn't know if she was in school or doing something else because she didn't know the time differences.
She thought about it, Sarah Mopen right? Sarah was a short girl who starred in a lot of movies. She had brown hair and brown eyes and the reason everybody loved her so much was because she was average weight. Sarah didn't starve herself to look thin, she didn't have to- she was perfectly fine not giving into Hollywood pressure. Angelika sighed, She didn't know her real name- her real last name started with a P, but she changed it so her family wouldn't get attacked by paparazzi.
But overall, Angelika thought that Nate was the idiot in this situation- not Sarah. Sarah probably didn't even know about Kat. She frowned and clicked Kat's number, knowing her mom told her to text her only, but she didn't care right now, she'd pay for the bill. It rang a few times, then, finally.. Kat answered.
"Hello?" She said, completely oblivious to the name that was on her caller ID.
Angelika smiled, "Hey Kat!" she heard a squeal from the other end and then extreme rambling, the excited kind, "Calm down, calm down," when Kat was finally silent she laughed, "So, how've you been?" she asked trying her best to avoid the Nate topic. Kat told her about how school was going and how great it's going to be in a few months when they're back at camp together. But then, as if Angelika could see it coming from miles away, she stopped talking. It was silent, "Kat?" she asked cautiously.
Kat took a breath and sighed, Angelika didn't speak- afraid that she'd say too much, "I know you saw it Ange," Angelika once again, didn't reply, so Kat took it upon herself to continue, "Honestly, I don't know how to think right now, or what to think- I should've saw it coming, he hasn't said I love you in months, or told me that he misses me," She stopped and Angelika still didn't know what to say, "But dating somebody else, without even letting me know.. ouch."
"Kat.. Hottunes is like all of those other gossip shows, you can't count on them," Angelika spoke honestly. She never thought Nate would do that, but maybe she was wrong. Keyword: Maybe. Nate never seemed the type to cheat, but maybe he didn't consider them in a relashionship anymore. The odd thing was, Kat was silent, "Kat, go straight to the source- ask Nate."
Kat quietly mummbled, "Alright."
Angelika could tell that Kat was every bit as hesitant to talk to Nate about it as she was to talk to Kat about it. It was a rough topic and although it would most likely be untrue, it's the most likely part that makes your mind stay awake at night. What about the other possibilty- you know the one that the most in 'most likely' applies too- what about the fact that Nate could be dating Sarah Mopen and the possiblitiy that he left Kat in the dust.
She would most likely toss and turn all night.
