Gina's POV

I came home from work, New York magazine – the fashion section, of course- and went to my mailbox.

'What have we got here?' I thought to myself. Bill, bill, bill, bi- hold on, that's not a bill. I opened the letter on top and made my way up to my apartment. I unfolded it and saw a logo I never thought I'd see again. Brooklyn College Academy logo. My high school logo. I reached my apartment and opened it.

"Leo, I'm home" I called. "Leo? Where are you?" I heard a meow coming from the bedroom. "There you are." I went over and stroked his arched back. "Hey Pussycat. Aren't you the most beautiful boy in the whole world?" I chimed. I went back to the kitchen and picked up the letter again. It read:

A reunion. Wow. Has it been ten years since 9th grade? I guess I'll be going in the singles session. I should ring Suze! We have to go together! Yay!

Oh wait! I can't go! What if Sam Baker comes? Oh God. I can't stand to see that face again. What happened was when Suze left me for Carmel, California, this guy took her place. He was really sweet and SO hot. We kind of had a fling. He was fun to hang around but not exactly boyfriend material. So we broke up. Then just a couple of weeks ago, I saw him. And guess where? He was a super hot lawyer earning loads of money. And me? I'm a fashion editor at New York Magazine. Great.

I felt a brush of soft fur on my leg. I jumped. Oh, it was only Leo.

"What do you think I should do?" I asked him. He purred as he weaved through my legs. He meowed with hunger. "Ok, ok. I'm just getting your food know." I placed dry food into his bowl and changed his water. "Can anyone send me a sign or something?" I took out a bowl, milk and cereal. I was starving. I made my cereal, took a spoon and sat on the couch. Leo followed me. He had something in his mouth. He was knowing it and scratching at it.

"Leo, what the...? Oh, puss! I needed that." I noticed it was the letter. I guess I can take a hint. I took the soggy piece of paper and put it on the TV cabinet. I finished my cereal and put it in the dishwasher. I went back to the lunge and on my way got the cordless phone. I dialled Suze's new number, as she lives with Jesse now.

"Hello?" A deep voice spoke into the phone. I was guessing it was Jesse. The one whom I haven't actually met!

"Hi! I'm Gina-"

"Querida, it's Gina" Jesse said without even letting me finish. I wonder how he knows me?

"Hey G!"

"Oh My God, Suze! Did you get it?"

"Aha. I'm not going." She said, instantly.

"But Why? It'll be fun. You can come in the couples session. Bring Jesse! I haven't actually met him yet, remember?" She laughed. "What?"

"Nothing." She said.

"And why haven't I met Mr Hector De Silva yet? Oh sorry, I mean Dr Hector De Silva." I corrected myself with sarcasm. She laughed again. I heard heavy breathing. Oh God. "Suze! Could you not make out with Jesse for 5 seconds?"

"I'm sorry, Gina." She replied. Then in the background she said, with a giggle "Jesse! Stop it!" Yes, Simon can giggle. Well, soon to be De Silva, actually.

"Simon! Jesse, leave the poor girl alone!" I called from the other end.

"I'm sorry! Gina, I am fully concentrated on your voice."

"Thank you. Now explain to me why you can't come."

"G, I can't. I can't afford to. I have no money what so ever."

"Yeah, sure Suze. I need you to come with me! I'll be lonely." I whined.

"Gina, you're not lonely. You have Tim."

"Um, yeah, about that. I kinda dumped him on the weekend."

"Gina! Why?" She asked.

"He wasn't the guy for me. We had nothing in common besides the fascination with each others mouths." I replied.

"Oh well. I guess we can't all find Romeo straight away."

"I do have Romeo!"

"You already met someone? Oh My God, who?" She shrieked, excitedly.

"No, but I have Leo."

"Your cat. Your cat's your Romeo?" she said in monotone.

"Yes. Even though he is fluffy and has a chewed ear, he is the love of my life."

"Moving on, I can't go and that's the end of that chapter."

And it really is the end of that chapter. Thanks for reading and please review!!!
