A/N: I am SO freaking sorry everyone! I haven't updated in months and I know you're probably mad at me and I know this chapter won't make up for it but I'm really sorry you guys! My only excuse is that I've been busy with school and I didn't want to do anything that might have been a distraction, but seriously I don't have a legit reason for why I've been gone for so long.
For everybody that reads my Cabbie story, I'll try my best to update, but I seriously have NO inspiration. The next time I update that story will be when I post the finale chapter. Now, on with the story!
Disclaimer: Do I own Victorious? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA… No.
Jade raised a pierced eyebrow at the skinny nerd, puzzled. "Answers for what?"
He sighed and turned his attention to the redhead. "She's clueless." he muttered. Jade, who heard his statement crystal clear, slammed her palms on the table and got to her feet, glaring threateningly at the poor, temporarily puppet-less Robbie. He cleared his throat. "Uh, let me begin my three-part apology by saying what a wonderful women you are."
Jade sighed as she decided not to waste her time scaring the wazz out of the boy. "Save it. Just tell me what I have to do to get you out of my hair." She sank back down in her chair and rubbed the throbbing spot above her right eyebrow. Oh joy, here comes a headache.
"So," Cat began, smiling widely, her dimples clearly visible. "We want to know why you weren't at the party last night." She leaned forward with a curious look plastered across her face.
Jade made a sour face when she answered. "I told you why last night. I. Was. Tired. What don't you understand about that?" She could tell Cat and Robbie weren't going to stand for that false-fact when their looks intensified.
"But last night, you said something about Beck over the phone." Robbie challenged. Jade was about to deny that, but stopped with her mouth hanging open. Wait a second….
"How do you know about that?" she questioned, staring daggers into his skull. He simply shrugged and gestured toward Cat, who was smiling and twirling her hair with one hand. Jade groaned and let the back of her head bang against the wooden backrest of the seat.
"Cat," she sighed. "Do you have to tell this boy everything?" Cat nodded her head with enthusiasm. Jade pinched the bridge of her nose as she shut her eyes and continued. "Okay, so why is that when I say something about Beck, it becomes a significant part of your life?"
"We want to help!"
Dear lord, was this a pity party?
"Help with what?" Jade snapped. "If you think for one second that I want to try to win Beck back, than you're…" she was cut short by Robbie.
"Absolutely right?" he questioned with confidence. Jade's eyes flared up with the general "you-peeved-me-off-now-you're-in-for-it" look. Robbie immediately realized his mistake, but it was too late for him to take it back.
"Well," the girl hissed. "Aren't we proud of ourselves today? You think you know everything, but you're just being so cocky it's unbelievable! If you want to help, I suggest you stay as far away from me as possible!"
Just as she had finished her screaming, a frightened waiter came by and hesitantly handed Jade the bill. She got up, threw some money on the table, and left within the blink of an eye. Cat gulped and stared wide eyed at the shocked afro-headed teen.
"Um, I think we have to try a different approach."
"Yeah, I know." He sighed. "Maybe we should have been a little more subtle. Okay, next time we should just tell her to…" Robbie couldn't finish his sentence because the waiter had so rudely interrupted him.
"You two," he pointed a shaky finger at the two peculiar teens. "Just follow your friend and get out."
Robbie looked taken aback. "But we didn't even…"
"Get. Out. Now." He barked harshly. They gulped, bolted out the door, and ran into Robbie's car. Eyes darting here and there, Robbie backed out of the parking lot and sped away from the small, not so friendly breakfast place. After they distanced themselves a good five miles from the restaurant, they found themselves in an old, out of business building's parking lot. Breathing heavily, Cat turned her eyes on Robbie. "You were saying?"
"I… I have no idea."
Jade walked through the double doors of Hollywood Arts, already wishing the day to be over. As usual, Andre and Tori were talking about something that would more than likely lead all of them headfirst into some whack-job situation. Sinjin was prancing about; screaming something relating whatever it was that was trending for the day. Cat was telling Robbie a joke that he was only have listening to (the other half of his mind wasn't exactly focused on the girls words rather than her voice in general), and Beck was surrounded by stereotypical cheerleaders and bimbos twirling their hair, popping their gum, and laughing at just about every word that left his mouth.
Yep, that sounds about right.
She strolled over to her scissor-encrusted locker and yanked it open, angrily wrenching her textbooks out for her first period class; chemistry. Ugh. What a great way to begin her already horrid day.
Cat noticed Jade's presence shortly after and tugged on Robbie's sleeve so he would follow her over to the Goth's locker. He hesitantly allowed it, but braced himself for the worst. The tiny redhead was oblivious to the possible danger she was putting Robbie and herself in, but what did it matter? Maybe Jade had cooled off in the time they hadn't seen each other! Well, one can only dream.
"Hi Jadey!" the tiny girl shouted with delight. Robbie merely lifted his hand in greeting and kept his eyes to the floor. Jade slowly turned to face the two, her eyes flickering dangerously from the bubbly teen to the curly-haired dork.
"Get out of my sight." She muttered lowly, scaring the boy out of his wits. Cat, on the other hand, hadn't paid attention to her friend's tone.
"But we just got here! Listen, Robbie and I…"
"She dragged me into this." Robbie interrupted, still keeping his gaze on the tiles.
"Robbie and I," she continued. "Thought about a new plan to…" Oh, the girl just never learned.
"No!" Jade growled. "No more thinking about plans or ideas. You know what; just don't think together at all! Obviously with your ditzy brain," she glared at Cat. "And your geeky mind," she jabbed a finger at Robbie. "Anything that you two come up with will obviously lead to complete and utter chaotic destruction or something equally as awful! Now, get out of my face!" With that, she stomped away, her combat boots clicking against the polished school floor.
Cat and Robbie stared in defeat at the spot where Jade had just stood, their expressions a mixture of frustration and hopelessness. Cat broke their uncomfortable silence by taking Robbie's wrist and dragging him backwards to the other two people in their little group of friends.
"Tori, Andre…" Cat sighed, looking up at the two with sparkling, baby brown eyes. "She probably won't listen to us for a while. How's it going with Beck?"
Andre ran a hand over his face. "He's not taking us seriously. Maybe we should just drop this whole plan."
"No," Cat whined. "It's so weird with them ignoring each other and all. I want things to go back to the way they were!" Her bottom lip was jutted out and trembling. "Why are they so stubborn?"
Tori shrugged. "Well, we need to keep trying, right?" a collective grumble of "I guess so" was heard from the others. Tori nodded, putting her brain to work. "Oh, how about this? Andre and I will try to convince Jade to meet us somewhere, but instead of us, Beck will be the only one at this certain undecided area?" she smiled brightly with hope. "Huh? Huh?" she quizzed. The others shrugged and nodded.
"So I guess Robbie and I will convince Beck to do the same?" at question, her eagerness slowly returning. Tori nodded, enhancing Cat's enthusiasm. "YAY! Operation 'Save Bade' is a go! Come on, Robbie!" she proceeded to yank the boy with her in the opposite direction from the other two teens. Andre looked to Tori with a curious expression.
"'Save Bade'?"
"Eh, I think it's cute."
