* Saturday* 2:15PM – Valentine Family Residence

Cat Valentine – most people tend get the wrong idea about Cat – stupid first impressions. She's not crazy… she's not different.. she's just… Cat… she's just happy… just enjoying life.

–well… not so much at the moment…

2:15PM 2UNREAD 4GLTE ||I

Reply | (CANCEL)

"–ugh!" Cat carelessly tosses her cell on top of her bed. She couldn't believe it! – blown off again… for some stupid doll that Robbie can't seem to keep his hand out of…

–typical… I mean, Cat was used to it – guys always handed Cat the short stick, on account of bubbly personality… but this one just takes the cake.

Cat trudges over to her computer desk and clicks play on the iTunes window…

~ Ya` get hi... fuck a` buncha girls... ~

–Cat jams to the song – it's meaning more evident due to her newfound impatience for Robbie. Cat grabs the closest pen and starts to doodle on the inside of her pink hands…

and then cryy... on toppa` the wurld..

i hope yhu-ooo

have the time `a ya life...

~ i hope i... don lose it ta`nite… ~

bee boop! bee boop! bee boopl

a small window pops up in the corner of the computer screen…


START_2:17PM

Incoming FaceChat (Tori Vega)

Accept | Decline


"Yay! FaceChat with Tori!" Cat beams, "–Accept!..."

"–hey Tori!" Cat roars at the computer screen.

"–hey cat..." she replies. "Why you sound so sad, Tori?" Tori sighs and avoids looking Cat directly in the eye – which was pretty easy to do because of the video lag.

"... just got off the phone with Andre..." Tori finally admits. "–Same ol same ol... huh?" Cat understands, she really does. Andre and Tori's relationship woes were hardly secrets to anyone…

"–unfortunately... so... what's up with you and Robbie? Any plans for this weekend?.."

"No... he and Rex have plans already..." Again… a puppet, really… is Cat really that undesirable..?

"–ugh! really!?" Cat nods, "–that's what I said!.." Tori laughs – a sarcastic laugh that expressed her sheer disappointment and agitation towards their male.. quote.. bestfriends...

"–what's with guys now adays?.." says Tori, allowing the question to mold itself onto her expression.

"iono tori... but it sux!" :( :(

"–i know what you mean... i don't think Andre's ever going to come around..." Tori painfully admits this to herself – it was the only way she could be there for Cat – relive the hurt and frustration of her own relationship and offer up boy-bashing stories.

"–neither will Robbie..." Tori frowns... it's bad enough that she and Andre were going through it… but in her eyes… relationships came with inevitable pain, and she didn't believe that Cat was ready for it…
But like all of the others… Tori had underestimated Cat…
–she's full of surprises…

"–hey, we can't let them bum us out, Tori... we've still got each other!" Cat offers. Tori smiles – having heard the sweetest thing, she decides it best to simply agree – and for good reasons… she did still have Cat... you know.?

"–yeah... we've still got each other…"

ha ha :) :)

–Cat erupts into a fit of giggles. Tori notices Cat's adorable baby dimples and can't help but to laugh herself…

"–well..." Tori begins, "–I've some chores to do around the house… so... I'll ttyl.?" Cat smiles.

"ttyl Tori! muah!"

"–muah!"

beeeeeeeeeeeeep!

Cat jams a finger on the mouse-pad and closes the FaceChat. "woa..."

Cat clenches her stomach – there's this strange, fluttery feeling there...

–a feeling that she definitely never had for Robbie… or any other boy, now that she thinks about it…

so why does she have it for Tori?

"–woa..."
