D is for Dumb
Cat ran through the halls of the school toward her locker. She was so happy she could burst because she had her favorite breakfast. Waffles with strawberries and whipped cream. yum. She was standing at her locker getting her books for the day when she heard her name. She looked around the corner where her project partner in her make up class was talking to some people.
"You got Cat as a lab partner?"
"She's so dumb, she won't be able to do anything right." Amy said. Cat covered her mouth. Did they all really think she was dumb? She slammed her locker and ran to the girls bathroom, running right between Beck and Tori. She sat on the floor and cried.
"Cat? Cat what's wrong?" Tori asked, sitting beside her.
"Cat, come out here and talk to us." Beck called from just outside the door. Cat and Tori got up and met Beck outside the girl's bathroom.
"Cat, why are you sad?" Tori asked.
"Am I dumb?" Cat asked.
"No" Beck and Tori replied in unison.
"Cat why would you ask that?" Beck changed the subject.
"I heard my project partner, Amy, saying I was dumb. Does everyone think I'm dumb?" Cat asked softly.
"Well-"
"I knew it! Everyone thinks I'm dumb!" Cat ran back into the bathroom and locked herself in one of the stalls. She sat there crying for a few moments until she heard a knock on the stall door.
"Cat open the door." Cat opened the door just enough so that she could see Jade.
"Jade?" She asked.
"And me." Tori waved when Cat opened the door a little more. "Oh, and Trina." Tori pointed to Trina who was fixing her lip gloss in the mirror, but turned at the sound of her name.
"We all want to talk to you." Jade said.
"I'm just fixing my lip gloss." Trina said, turning back to the mirror.
"Come with me." Jade grabbed her wrist and dragged her back to by Tori's locker. The boys were all standing there.
"Ok, what do you all want?" Cat crossed her arms and stuck her bottom lip out.
"Cat, you are kind of dumb." Andre said. Cat gasped and put her hands over her mouth.
"But, but, what Andre is trying to say is that there is so much more to you than just how smart you are." Robbie said. Cat crossed her arms again.
"Oh yeah? Like what?" Cat sat down on the floor. Everyone sat down around her.
"Well, you're really pretty." Tori said.
"And you're funny." Robbie chimed in.
"You care about everyone more than you care about yourself." Andre pointed out.
"You have a great singing voice." Beck added.
"You're really good at making costumes." Jade said.
"And you're great with make up." Trina said.
"And you got a hot little A-"
"Rex!" Robbie reprimanded.
"Well other than that, there are a lot of great things about you." Tori said.
"You guys all really mean that?" Cat asked.
"Of course we do. Cat it doesn't matter if you're dumb." Andre said softly.
"Cat what matters is people love you anyways." Robbie rubbed her shoulder.
"Yeah, were your friends, and we love you." Tori said.
"Okay! I feel better now." Cat stood up and everyone else followed suit.
"See Cat, you don't have to be smart to have friends." Beck said.
"No, I just need great friends like you guys to have friends." Cat smiled as they all engulfed her in a group hug.
AN: So I did not write about Doughnuts or denim. Sorry to disappoint all of those pastry and pant lovers out there. I was walking and this idea popped into my head. I think it's better than doughnuts or denim. Enjoy and Review! :)
