I apologize for the obvious rushing and lack of creativity in the last chapter. My mom was bothering me, so I had to finish it quickly. We'll see if this makes up for it. Review!

"Wait - so, we're breaking up?" Beck looked at me disbelievingly. Oh, no. He isn't really in love with me, is he? I mean, it's understandable because of how hot and irresistible I am, but it was a fake relationship!

"Beck, if this is hurting you -"

"Hurting me?" A grin crossed his face from ear to ear. "This is the best moment of my life!"

"Wait - what?" Okay, it's good to know that he's okay with 'breaking up', but who tells the person they're breaking up with that it's the best moment of their life? While they're doing it? Yeah, that sounded a little wrong…

"Jade, listen," He wet his lips quickly with that huge grin still on his face, which I knew meant he was excited about something. "We've been fake dating each other for a few years, and since everyone else thinks it's real I have to pretend I don't see other girls."

"You see other girls?" I know I'm overreacting now just because I'm being protective, not because of our 'relationship'.

"Well, not exactly girls. A girl, to be exact."

"Who is it?" I ask suspiciously. Hey, at least it wasn't a guy.

He inhales and lets out the answer with his breath. Mint, by the way. "Cat. It's Cat."

"The dingy redhead that likes cupcakes?" I pretty much yell it out in disbelief. We're in the hallway, standing in a corner. People turn to look with annoying questions practically written all over their faces. "Go away before I throw you on your stupid face!" I hiss at Sinjin when he turns to stare. All the other people scurry away like a machine gun had suddenly materialized in my hands. Ha, I don't need a gun to scare these people.

"Keep your voice down!" Beck urges me, looking over his shoulder, even though everyone is keeping their distance now. "And she's not dingy!" He defends Cat fiercely.

"How do you know that?" It's a rhetorical question, my voice has risen again already. Let the people stare; I was born for the spotlight.

"Well -" He starts to gesture with his hand.

"Beck!" I exclaim.

He holds up his hands in surrender.

"How long have you been "looking" at Cat?" I demanded, adding the air quotes with my fingers.

He pauses, my stare making him squirm. "A while." He finally admits.

"I'm not even going to ask how long " a while" is." Air quotes again.

"Look, Jade," He said pointedly. "If we're both single you can go after Tori and I can get Cat."

"Wait," I said as he started to walk away. "Why is it you can get Cat, but I have to 'go after Tori'?" Three strikes with the air quotes.

"Well - " He started, then quickly began speed walking down the hall.

"Hey!" I yelled, jogging after him. I couldn't help the genuine smile that crossed my face, the kind that two best friends shared. "Beck, get back here!"

"You're too slow!" He declared, breaking out into a run.

"Beck!"

"You can't catch me!" He darted around a trash can.

"I only want to feel your fluffy American hair!"

"No!" He covered his head as I caught up with him in the doorway of Sikowitz's classroom with a wide smile on his face as well.
