As the flame hit the gas, the fire immediately exploded, nearly hitting Robbie. He jumped out his seat with a scream. The rest of the class also began to scream and panic. Sikowitz seemed unaffected but then realized what he had done.

"Run!" he screamed to the class. They all did, shoving each other out of the door to escape the quickly growing flames. As they ran into the hallway, Tori quickly found the nearest fire alarm and pulled it. Hearing the alarm, the school began to file outside. Most were calm as they didn't notice the smoke that was beginning to seep from the bottom of the doorway. Sikowitz quickly motioned the kids to go outside as well. As they walked outside Robbie realized he didn't have Rex. He quickly turned around.

"I forgot Rex!" he shouted to no one.

Sikowitz still responded "Robbie, the flames are at the door, don't even try" Cat glanced at the scene. Robbie stood still in shock, possibly denial. The fire was approaching him, but he still didn't move. Cat quickly ran back to get him. She grabbed his hand and lightly tugged him.

"C'mon Robbie" she walked out and he limply followed along.

When the class was outside, they started to call their parents to take them home. Robbie sat on the curb trying to take in what happened. Cat saw him and sat by him.

"You OK?" she asked, lightly nervous.

"Not really" he dully responded. He seemed to be zoning out, he felt awful. Cat seemed to realize why Rex meant so much to him, she had been taking him more as a friend of his, but he was more like a pet, and as she had always thought, there was something mental about it. She felt a little guilty for not wanting Rex to be there. 'It'll be good for him' she argued to herself in her head 'maybe he'll be more self confident.' She wrapped her arm around him.

"It'll be OK" she said lightly.

The next day

Cat skipped out the door to meet Robbie on the sidewalk. Thankfully, he was there. He still looked disappointed, but better than the day before.

"Hi Robbie!" she shouted as she caught up. Even after the day before, she had a positive outlook on the day.

"Hi Cat" Robbie managed a smile.

"You feel better?" Cat asked.

"Yeah but it feels weird, I feel…empty"

"Well it'll get better; I hear we're having class outside today!" Cat tried to be positive. As they approached the school they saw that this was true. Most of the class was sitting outside in the grass, in front of them, Mr. Sikowitz was going on a random ramble (A/N ha, tongue twister ;P) about the Jets game the night before. As he saw Cat and Robbie approaching he motioned them to sit with the class.

"Don't bother going in, just take out your books and sit"

"Um, sorry to ask but aren't you in trouble for starting that fire?" Cat asked as she sat down.

"Yes, but I explained that I was under the influence of coconut milk and I simply have to pay the damages. And I get to go to a mental institution!" He seemed oddly excited about his punishment. Cat awkwardly nodded. "Now let's quickly do attendance umm, Beck!" There was a long silence. Mr. Sikowitz groaned.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the hallways

Beck hadn't realized class was outside, so he had gone inside to see where class was. As he was wandering, he noticed Jade at her locker. Jade appeared to be holding scissors. 'Oh boy…' Beck thought. He walked to her. He noticed she was snipping apart pictures of him.

"Babe…"

"What?" Jade sneered.

"What are you doing?"

"Moving on" she glared at him.

"What happened?" Beck sighed.

"This is, like, the fifth time I've heard about you and Tori!" she almost shouted as she turned to him.

"Jade, I never-"

"Yeah but what about the picture?" she snapped.

"What picture?"

Meanwhile (again), Tori had came in to use the bathroom, the halls were now empty and when she caught Jade and Beck together, she stopped to eavesdrop.

"This one!" Jade yanked her phone out of her purse and showed him. Beck shook his head with a small laugh. The picture was of Beck kissing Tori.

"Babe,"

"Yeah?"

"That's photoshopped"

Jade studied the photo again. Tori actively listened behind the corner.

"How do you know?" she gave one last shot to prove him wrong.

"See, the wall color is different on my side then hers" he pointed out. Jade glared.

"Still, I just hate hearing this stuff all the time!" she yelled. Beck put his hand on her cheek.

"Jade, I love you, no rumor, or Tori is going to change that" he whispered. Jade smiled as Beck kissed her softly. Tori peered at the scene and felt her heart sink. She turned and went back to class…
