Cat sat on the sidelines with only her legs resting in the water as everyone else played in the water. They seemed to be having fun; the guys were throwing the girls into the pool despite Trina's protests of her self tanner rubbing off. She was really orange! "Hey Cat!" Tori greeted sitting by her in a beach chair while she rang the water out of her wavy hair. "Hi Tori. Oh my God you're soaked." Cat gasped. Tori nodded in agreement to her obvious statement. "I know. Why aren't you in the water?" Tori asked her. Come to think of it, she wasn't even wearing her bathing suit. Just a tank shirt with her pants rolled up. Cat gulped, no one knew and she didn't have any plans on telling them. "Um, I don't feel like swimming. I just ate." she lied quickly embarrassed to say she couldn't swim. How ridiculous is that? A seventeen year old who cant swim? Who's afraid of the large body of water? "Well do you want company?" Tori asked hopeful. Cat shook her head. "No, you should go have fun." she said sadly. Tori hesitantly began to stand and left, but not before giving Cat a side hug. She figured Cat seemed odd. Well, odder than her normal odd self. But she figured not to push her. If she wanted to talk she would be more than glad to listen. Cat sighed but felt a twinge of relief as she spotted Robbie in the other side of the pool also sitting there with his Pear Pad in his lap. She swayed over there and took a seat by him. "Hey Robbie. Gumdrop?" she offered him pulling a purple sugar coated one from her bra. Robbie nodded and took the candy and ate it. "Angry gerbil?" he asked passing his Pear Pad to her. Her eyes widened. "What's that supposed to mean?" she asked loudly, causing the gang to turn and stare where the altercation was. "No, I was asking did you want to play Angry Gerbils!" he explained quickly taken back by her sudden mood change. All heads turned back the other way seeing it was nothing.
Cat and Robbie remained silent; he noticed her weird mood but knew better than to ask her of it if he didn't want to upset her again. Cat sighed heavily. "That was a heavy sigh; what's wrong?" he decided to question her. If she would get upset he would offer her a piece of gum. All would be forgiven! She sighed again. "I cant swim." she whispered fiddling with her hands waiting for him to laugh at her. She finally looked up at him when he didn't laugh. "You're not laughing." Cat stated confused, her eyebrows knitting together in the cutest way. Robbie shrugged then smiled at her. "Neither can I." he admitted. It wasn't saying much considering there was many things Robbie couldn't do; ride a bike. Get girls. Pick out guy pants. Write songs. But she smiled feeling better about the situation now that she knew that her odd friend understood her. And unlike that jerk Evan, he liked her the way she was. She smiled shyly at him again before quickly leaning over and giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"Food's ready!" Beck called from the grill. Cat quickly jumped up and grabbed a flabbergasted Robbie up too. "Yay food!" she yelled in her happiest tone before racing away, only to run back to where she just was and where Robbie still stood. "You coming? Robbie?"
Just a short Cabbie chapter. I apologize for how long it took but I had been gone for our family reunion. I hate those things! But I didn't die despite what Twitter believes! And since I'm back, expect another EXCITING chapter up tomorrow. Again I apologize and sorry for any grammar errors. Hopefully they aren't too unbearable.
