Cat's diary:

It was late at night, but I couldn't fall asleep. All I could think about was Jade. How she ruined my friendship with Tori, who was going to take me to the water park, but not anymore. It all started today, which was one cloudy day, and Tori, Jade, and I were in Jade's closet, sharing secrets. At first, no serious secrets were getting spilled out. Only funny secrets like which guys we like, falling in the toilet, or tripping in the shower while singing. I thought that we were all having fun.

But then, Jade started to saying something...

"One time, Cat-"

"You can't talk about me!" I screamed.

But she kept going.

"Decided to-"

"Jade, please don't do it!"

"Go to your room-"

"Jade-"

"CAT!" Tori yelled. "Ever since you broke my microphone the other time you went into my room without me knowing, I said very clearly that you can never go into my room without me knowing ever again!"

"I'm...sorry," I apologized sadly. "I just..."

"I don't want to hear it," Tori scoffed. "Go away, Cat."

I didn't want to go away. I wanted her to know the real reason why I was in her room, which was because she got a giant chocolate bar as an award from Sikowitz, and Jade forced me to get it for her. But I knew that it was no use to stay and fight with Tori, so I ran out of Jade's room and down the stairs so fast that Jade's mom didn't even see me grab my coat and rush out the door.

Earlier in the day, it was only fifty degrees outside. My mom forced me to bring my coat. Now, it's burning hot, but I still have my coat on, zipped up, with my hood on. I feel so ashamed that I don't want anyone besides my family to see me.

My house is a couple miles away from Jade's house. There's no way that I can get home without dying from heat exhaustion. I sat on a rock next to a crosswalk, thinking about what to do. I don't want anyone to know who I am, but I can't die, right? This is so hard.

Then, I got a great idea. Robbie's house was just a few houses away. He's a wig master, so he could get me a wig, and I can just walk home and no one would recognize me because I wouldn't have my red hair. Sure, I'd have the same clothes. But I would just need to talk a little deeper, and it would be just fine.

As I walked, a bike was zooming towards me. It appeared that two people sat on it. It looked cool, but you know what was even cooler? I had no idea who those people were, so of course, they had no idea who I was.

As the bike got closer, I slowly moved out of the way in case the bike decided to move instead. But then, the bike stopped.

"Hi. It's okay, you guys can keep going," I said. "I'm just walking straight forward."

"No, you look to hot to just be walking like that," one of the people on the bike said. "Want a ride?"

"That would be nice, but my destination's not very far at all. But thanks for the offer."

The bike zoomed past me, and I decided to run the two more houses over to Robbie's house. Robbie was outside, getting a tan on his hammock. And you probably have no idea how torturing it is to look at someone who's not feeling any heat at all when you're suffering from it. I mean, have you ever had to wear a jacket in burning weather. I don't think so.

Robbie was looking at me. "Cat is that you?" He asked.

I ran over to him and hugged him. "Yes, it is," I whispered in his ear. "Can you not tell anyone?"

"Why?" Robbie said in a confused way.

"Because Tori's mad at me, and I'm too ashamed to show myself to anyone. You see, Tori won a giant chocolate bar from Sikowitz, and Jade dared me to steal it from her room because she wanted it. Jade told Tori that I went into her room, and now Tori's mad at me because I'm not supposed to go into her room. And she's not listening to my story."

"Cat, you don't have to be ashamed because it's not your fault," Robbie said in a very comforting way. "I thought you were smart enough to know that. You can show yourself to anyone, Cat. They will listen to what you have to say, and they will help you and be nice to you."

"I know, but Tori...and Jade!" I cried, choking on a handful of tears in my throat. "They probably told everyone their fake story by now, and everyone will be turning their backs on me. Just watch."

"Really? It might not be too late, Cat. I'll check The Slap."

Robbie got his Pear Phone out of his pocket and went on Tori's account on The Slap. She just posted a post with a fake story about Cat. The same thing happened when he went on Jade's account.

"You were right, Cat," Robbie said sadly. "It is too late. But I have a plan. I'll give you a wig. You will wear it and pretend that you're your cousin. You can make up any name you want. We'll say that Cat Valentine is on vacation, but her cousin is filling in for her. Then, I will carefully and slowly start telling people the true story behind you and Tori's problem. Does that sound good?"

"I guess," I replied with a sniff. "Let's do it."

Robbie got a brown wig that was long and curly out from his storage room and placed it on my head exactly how it should be. "You're all set to go or tomorrow," Robbie announced.

"Thank you," I thanked.

"You're welcome," Robbie replied.

"Wait!" I exclaimed. "If I'm pretending to not be Cat, I can't live in Cat's house, right? So can I live in your house until it's all settled?"

"Sure," Robbie approved, smiling. I knew that Robbie would never say no, but I knew that he was actually glad that I was staying with him. He had a secret crush on me, but everyone could tell.

Robbie got out of his hammock and grabbed my hand. We both walked into his house, and he sat me down at a long, black table made of glass. I called my mother to tell her that I'd be staying at Robbie's for quite a while, and once I hung up, Robbie tapped my arm.

"Yes, Robbie?" I said softly.

"I love you," he whispered in my ear. And I laughed and smiled at him. I didn't exactly know what to say now that he admitted his love for me. I kind of wanted to love him too, but I didn't really know if I had the same feelings for him as he did. I touched his shoulders carefully, and they were shivering, but they were also very soft. When I let go, he took off his glasses in front of me, and I looked at his eyes in awe. They kind of sparkled, but not as much as some other guy's. But they looked at me with as much love as my mom does, and I couldn't help but grab him in my arms and scream, "I love you too!"

Robbie blushed, and there were footsteps coming from upstairs. That was the last thing I heard before I fell to the floor and fainted.
