Cat. That's all that goes through my mind all day and every day. Its messed up, its twisted, its stupid, but its so unbearably true. We're so different, as obvious as it is sometimes, its hard to think that maybe we're too different. We're like the moon and sun. The sun comes up the moon rolls down, a world apart, but they don't make a sound. A forbidden love that will never work out but a love, and they know it spins us round.

God, I sound like a poet. How can one girl, one overly energetic red headed girl turn a dark, insensitive, night crawler like me, into someone so deep? Into someone with feelings? And to think that it all started with something as simple as her caring.

YESTERDAY

I walked into my school, Hollywood Arts, and walked directly to my locker, ignoring all the unusual but not too foreign stares I got from my classmates. I dropped my bag on the ground in front of the familiar graffiti covered locker I had grown accustomed to, took a swig of my coffee and started to put my combination in. There was nothing on my mind except getting this day over with, until I turned around that is. EVERYONE that was in the hallway, including the teachers, were staring at me.

"What?" I shouted in my normal, angry voice. A couple of people looked away but one girl made a comment that made my eyes dart toward her.

"What did you say?" I asked in a threatening voice , daring her to snicker amongst her friends once more about it. The girl seemed speechless as all eyes shifted off me and darted to her. She stuttered a few times before managing to answer back in actual sentence form.

"I-I said that y-you were gonna kill Tori Vega." I raised my eyebrows at just the idea of getting my hands to fully grip around that girls neck but the thought went away as I questioned her further.

"Not that it wouldn't be amusing but why would I do that at this time in particular hmm?" This was getting to the point of amusement, playing with her like this, the poor thing looked as if she was going to wet her pants, so I did as any other would do, I pushed further.

"Why would I, Jade West, waste my valuable yet flexible time on Tori Vega?" I asked walking forward making the girls around her part like the sea as she stood helplessly alone backing up until she

hit the lockers behind her. I looked down at the shorter, frightened girl slightly smirking at the effect I had on her.

"She kissed Beck." My head shot up now looking at the smiley face locker the short girl was standing in front of.

"Son of a-" I was cut off by the bell and paid no attention to the girl running off in fear. I shook my head and headed off to Sikowits class planning the death of Tori Vega.

The late bell rang but I stayed at a steady pace not caring much about tardiness. I walked into the class and walked past my nutty teacher on my to my seat.

"You are late Jade." Sikowits informed me.

"And Tori's head is misshaped. Hey pointing out the obvious is fun." I said sarcastically. I glared at Tori as she grabbed the back of her head and turned around from her spot in the front.

"My head is not misshaped!" she shouted defensively...and annoyingly.

"Ask the Mongolians I'm sure they'd agree with me, they might even take you in as one of their own."

"Sit down Jade." Sikowits instructed me, and I sat. I glared at Tori for most of the class, until Sikowits made us do a drive by acting exercise where we were scared chicken trying to get ham...crazy man. Everyone was making annoying chicken noises but thankfully the all stopped once Cat got pelted with a blue-green rubber ball.

"Sikowits!" Cat shouted holding her cheek obviously flustered at what just happened.

"Why is Cat always the one to get hit?" Tori asked.

"Because it is funny." Sikowits answered.

"It is kinda funny." Cat chimed in making everyone look at her weird.

"Ya know what's really funny" I entered the conversation. They all looked at me with expectant faces. "This." Before anyone could question me further I took Sikowits ball out from behind my back and pelted Tori in the face with it.

"Ow!" Tori shouted. She looked at me holding her misshaped head. "Why'd you hit me with a ball?"

"Why'd you put your disgusting lips on my boyfriend?" I answered her question with one of my own. Beck, who was coming toward me, probably to calm me down, stopped where he was and said something under his breath. I turned toward him.

"What? You thought I wouldn't find out so that makes it okay?" He didn't answer me, he didn't even make eye contact with me which wasn't like him.

"One time my brother tried to shave my head when I was sleeping." Cat randomly chimed in.

"Cat we don't care!" Beck shouted at her. I don't know what is up his ass today but I don't think I like it. No one, not even me, yells at Cat like that. And he's supposed to be the nice guy. I looked at her for a second and she looked like she was going to cry.

"Don't yell at Cat!" I shouted at the boy. Before I realized it was happening again all eyes were on me, but it was different than this morning, this time they all were confused.

"Hold up, did you just defend her?" Andre asked me.

"Yeah, so what" I asked.

"The girl's gone loco." That stupid puppet commented. I hate that thing.

I don't know why I defended her but I still think I did something right for once, even though I did get pounded with questions because of it. The strange thing though is that Cat didn't ask me why I did it she just stood there smiling at me until the bell rang. I broke up with Beck after class obviously. Tori seemed happy, and Beck seemed pissed.

*LUNCH*

I sat alone at lunch like I usually do when Beck sits with the freaks. I was sitting there in peace picking at the black nail polish on my nails until someone tapped my shoulder. None other than Cat was standing there behind me interrupting my peace as usual.

"What?" I asked her with a bored tone in my voice.

"Um.."She pause like she had forgotten what she had come here to say but went on. "Can I sit here?" You gotta be kidding me.

"Why not?" I said sarcastically. I guess she doesn't understand sarcasm too well because she smiled and sat down next to me.

"Thanks for defending me in class today." She said sincerely.

"No problem." I answered not looking at. What did this girl want? Why doesn't she go hang out with the idiots she calls friends?

"You don't happen to have a partner for Mr. Waters' class do you?" She asked innocently.

"Well, considering I just broke up with him, no. Why?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to be mine." I sighed.

"Why not."

"Yay!" She exclaimed happily and hugged me.

She stared at me for a while, like she was expecting me to say something. She tilted her head to the side a little bit and giggled a little.

"What?" I asked her not seeing anything that could possibly cause her to laugh, but it is Cat so who knows.

"It was funny when you hit Tori in the head with the ball." I laughed, well I consider it a laugh even though it just sound like I'm letting out air.

"Yeah, I kinda was."
