Sam stayed on Cat's couch for two days, and Cat was sad at the thought that she'd be going home soon. She really liked this girl. She was nice (sometimes), and pretty, and tough, and pretty, and funny.
Cat didn't notice how Sam always disappeared to the bathroom after meals, sometimes she wouldn't notice she'd left the room and she'd continue talking to her happily until the blonde came back.
...
"It's been two days Freddie! I'm starting to have mental hospital flashbacks!"
"Sa-, wait, that's a great idea!"
"What is?"
"How did we find Sam last time?" he said pulling out his laptop and setting it up already.
"Her phone!"
"Correct."
"So you can do that right now?"
"Yup."
"Cool," she said crawling over to sit beside him on the ground.
"I'll turn away, you type the password in."
"No she changed it, it's not quite as gross anymore."
"Good, so what is it?"
"iKissedHimInTheElevator."
He looked at her surprised but typed it in. Sure enough her location popped up on the screen.
"Hollywood Arts High School?" Carly asked.
"Apparently, c'mon," he said standing up and leading her to the car.
...
"So why am I coming to your school?"
"Because, I want you to see the play I'm in! I play a girl who has a crush on her best friend's girlfriend," she explained happily, she was always happy, Sam had noticed, "And in the end she gives up on the girl and the ending is kinda...vague, she's sitting on the edge of a cliff crying."
"This is a school play?!"
"My friend Jade wrote it," she said, as if that justified everything, dragging her into the school.
...
Freddie and Carly pulled up outside of the school. They got out of the car and looked around. Carly found a poster for a play called What's The Point and she showed it to Freddie.
"Look at the name of the lead," she said.
"Cat Valentine," he read, and then he looked at the picture, which was a small girl with red hair gazing at a girl with black hair and purple streaks, "That must be Cat, wow she looks like my cousin Amanda post-cheerleaderification."
"What?"
"Never mind."
"Okay well Sam must be in there!"
...
The play had just finished and Cat rushed out from backstage and immediately tackle-hugged Sam.
"What'd you think?!" she asked over and over again before she let go.
"I thought it was great kid," she said with a smile. Cat bounced on her feet and turned to look when she heard the door open. She didn't recognise the people but they were looking at Sam so she tapped her arm.
"Sam?"
"Yeah?"
"I think you're friends are here..." her eyes widened and she spun on her heel.
"What do you want?" she snapped.
"To talk," Carly said delicately.
"Well I don't want to," she said spinning back around and moving to leave but Cat grabbed her hand.
"Sam maybe you should talk to them..." she said, her brown eyes reflecting worry. Sam sighed.
"I'll talk to one of you, who's it gonna be?"
Carly and Freddie exchanged a look.
"Hi, you must be Cat, I'm Carly," the brunette introduced herself as Freddie approached Sam.
"C'mon Fredalupe, let's talk," she said flatly before walking off, leaving him to follow.
A few things about this chapter
A) Cat has a small crush on Sam, I believe I make that obvious, because I have a complete love for Puckentine
B) If you've seen the movie Swindle, which features Ariana Grande, Jennette McCurdy and Noah Munck, Ariana's character is called Amanda Benson, who used to be a dorky looking nerd, although she's a cheerleader at her new school. Freddie once mentioned having a cousin named Amanda who was really ugly and an instant head canon was born so I decided to add in the line where Freddie says "wow she looks like my cousin Amanda post-cheerleaderification" (cause that's a word)
C) Am I the only one who would totally go to see the school play Cat's starring in?
D) I know that they would totally send Carly out there with her but I really wanted it to be Freddie who talks to her
E) Sam's password may be referring to Freddie or Zayn Malik
