Hey everybody! Since I forgot to upload yesterday, I uploaded 2 today! Chapter 7 was for Monday, this chapter for today! I actually love this chapter! I hope you guys do too. It takes place a week later, so Cat and Robbie have graduated too. Also, Em and Ali are in California for Emily's audition and so that Ali can get situated in her dorm. They'll go back to Rosewood and then move out to Cali permanently. Enjoy!


"Robbie, can you come with me?"

"Where, sweetie?"

"My UCDA audition is today. I'm really nervous."

Robbie pulled me into a hug.

"Sweetheart, you're the best singer I've ever heard."

Blushing, I responded, "Thank you Robbie"

He let go of me, and cleared his throat.

"Alright , I can tell you don't believe me."

I stood knowing he was correct.

"Sing for me?" he asked.

"What? Now?"

He nodded his head.

"Robbie, we're in the middle of the park!"

He gave me a look of begging that I couldn't resist.

"Cat, Madison Square is a park too."

He's right.

"Alright"

I opened up my mouth and sang the first song that came to mind.

(A/N: I highly recommend you listen to Ariana's cover of this song. OMG IT'S FLAWLESS. Excuse my fangirling.. hahah. Anyway.)

"You! Got me feeling emotions!

Deeper than I've ever dreamed of,

Woah, woah,

You! Got me feeling, emotions!

Higher than the heavens above!"

And that's when I hit a note higher than anything I've ever hit.

Everyone in the park stopped. Robbie's jaw dropped.

I stood, taking in what had just happened.

"I.. I hit the whistle tone.." I said, stunned.

I've never hit that. Ever.

I tried it again to make sure it wasn't a fluke.

Perfect.

Robbie picked me up and spun me around.

"Cat, you did it! You hit the whistle tone!" he beamed.

The people in the park erupted with clapping.

"Do you know how many people can hit that? Almost no one!" Robbie yelled.

Awwee. He's cute when he's excited.

He set me down on the grass and pulled me into a hug.

"Robbie?"

"Mhm?"

"Will you still come with me?"

"Yeah! Of course!"

I smiled and took in the excitement.


Click, Clack, Click, Clack.

I paced nervously back and forth onstage, waiting.

"Caterina Valentine?" a voice called.

I walked out onto the stage, shaking.

I hope they can't tell.

"Hiiiii! I'm Cat!"

"Hi Cat. I'm Andrew, this is David, and that's Rose." The man said, pointing at the people near him.

They sat at a long table in the auditorium. I guess they're the judges.

I looked around and spotted Robbie sitting in the middle.

He gave me a smile and a thumbs up.

"I'll be singing 'Emotions' by Mariah Carey." I said.

"That's a tough song." David said.

"I've been practicing really hard."

"Will you be acting for us too?"

"Yes, but if you don't mind, the selection I've picked requires a partner. Will it be alright if my boyfriend Robbie helps me out?"

"That's fine. Begin when you're ready." Rose said, smiling.

The music began to play and before I knew it, I was halfway through the song.

Oh my God. Here's the whistle tone.

"Insiiiiiiiiiiiide!" I sang.

Yes!

The judges' eyes widened, mouths open.

I'm SO getting into this school.


After the audition, Robbie took me out for dinner.

We sat at a booth in Metro's, a restaurant in Burbank.

Robbie ordered a steak, and I got a bowl of fettuccini alfredo, my favorite.

We talked about UCDA , Robbie's family, and our plans for the summer.

"So, are you excited for UCDA." He asked.

"Robbie, I haven't been accepted yet."

"Oh. Come on. Did you see the looks on their faces when you hit that first whistle tone? They were hooked."

I smiled, and waved for the waiter to take our plates.

"Thanks," I said to the waiter.

He nodded and walked off with the plates.

"Yeah, I'm definitely excited. You saw the campus! It's huge! Not to mention, beautiful."

"Like you!"

I smiled.

"So, are you gonna get a dorm or find an apartment?"

"Probably a dorm. I'm itching to meet some girls with insane vocals."

"Hi.." a voice said. "I couldn't help but over hear your conversation. You got into UCDA?"

"Um, not yet."

"But she will!" Robbie butted in.

The girl chuckled.

"My girl applied too." She said.

Her girl?

"Oh, did she get in?" Robbie asked.

"Not yet. But she will." The girl winked.

"well good luck to her!" I said.

"You too!" she replied.

"I'm Robbie, by the way."

"Alison. Nice to meet you."

She smiled, and pointed to a girl across the room, coming back from the bathroom.

"That girl over there is Emily. My girlfriend."

"She's gorgeous!" I said.

Alison beamed.

"This is my girlfriend Caterina, but you can call her Cat." Robbie smiled.

"Hi," I said, smiling as well.

Before Alison could reply, Emily came over.

"Whatcha doin?" she asked.

"Oh, I was just talking to this couple. She applied to UCDA too!" Alison replied.

"Oh!" she shook my hand. "Good luck!"

"You too!" I smiled.

"Well, I don't want to hold up your date." Alison said.

"Oh, no, it's fine." Robbie said.

"Yeah, it's great talking to you!" I said.

"You too! Maybe I'll see you on campus?" Emily asked.

"Cool!" I said.

And they walked off, hand in hand.

"Sooo.. dessert?" Robbie asked.

I smiled and kissed him on the forehead.
