Jade paced in her room that night, thinking harder than she had ever thought before. She needed a reason to break up with Beck. She couldn't tell him about her feelings for Cat. Beck was such a good guy, how could she break up with him? On the other hand, he had a line of girls waiting for him to be single. He would be fine ... right? But what about Cat? What if she doesn't even like me? Jade thought, still pacing frantically. She thought about Cats smooth red hair, cute dimples, deep brown eyes ...
The door bell rang. Jade ran to get it, hoping it was someone to help her with her problem. She opened the door and her hearted jumped to her mouth when she saw Beck standing outside her house. Perfect timing she thought. She invited him in , unwillingly, and before 8 o'clock she had rushed him out , saying she needed to study for drama.
Cat lay in her bed, thinking about Jade and feeling confused. Is this how you're supposed to feel about friends? She thought. She didn't feel like that about Tori. She felt jealous, frustrated, nervous and giddy all at once. She couldn't help thinking about school the next day, having to face Jade, and Jade would probably be with Beck. Cat often fantasised about being in Becks position, having the privilege of Jades love. But little did she know, Jades love was not in the interest of Beck.
The next day Jade sat in drama class, infuriatingly distracted by Cat. She sat twisting her red hair around her fingers and as always she had that loveable giggle on her face. Cat was confused by how distracting she found Jade, someone who had such an opposing personality to her. Yet she sat, and found herself staring at Jade, who played with scissors while half listening to the teacher. The two made eye contact with each other and even Jade for a split second let out a small smile. Cat couldn't help noticing this and giggled.
After class, Cat rushed to catch up with jade, who was walking at a considerably fast pace. "Jade! Jade. Have you... oh! Have you started the drama homework?" She giggled. Jade replied with "No not yet. I don't really know what to do." She said it quite gently, which was unusual as Jade was usually rough and mildly aggressive when she spoke. "Oh, well maybe I could help you with it if you came to my house around .. 7?" Cat smiled. Is cat asking me on a study date?? Jade thought. She panicked for a split second then returned to her original form. "Yeah I'll come if you want". Cat giggled and said "So- it's a date." Jade didn't know how to respond to this, so Cat just walked off, looking rather excited.
