Chapter 11

Hey guys sorry for the long wait ^^ I know, I know. I am just so incredibly lazy... I actually had quite a bit of a chapter ready a few weeks ago BUT THEN someone posted a review with an interesting idea in it and I just deleted everything I had cause I thought it would be better the way it is now :)
Thank you Jakarie :D

Oh yeah, before you start reading this chapter you might wanna take a look at the Oneshot Slumber-Party that I have written with a lot of help. I didn`t want to add it to this story, `cause it`s rated M. ^^

So here you go ;)
Viel Spaß beim Lesen, eure Just :D

"Mhm Cat... Cat..." I moaned and was shaken awake by an utterly confused looking redheaded girl.

"Tori, wake up." I opened my eyes and blushed in cognition. Oh come on! A dream? Seriously?

"G-good morning." I stuttered and noticed that it was still kind of dark, maybe not even dawn. There was no light that was coming through my window, only a little lamp on my bedside table that Cat must have switched on. I was pretty sure we didn`t sleep for more than a few hours.

Cat just smirked, which made me say something more, just to avoid the silence that surely would have followed, if I hadn`t said anything else. "Did I wake you?" I sat up and sit-layed against my pillow, still with a red face.

"Nooo... but your groans and moans and sighs did." She giggled and I went even redder than I had already been.

"I-I..." I started to speak, but couldn`t really think of anything that would make this situation less embarrassing for me. Cat just smiled at me.

"So? You wanna tell me something?" She asked as innocently as a little kid would, with bright eyes, wide smile and a hint of a pout. I stared at her chocolate-brown eyes.

"W-what?" I totally did not get what she just said.

"I said, do you want to tell me something?" She made this little giggle noise again. There´s your chance! Just tell her for heaven`s sake! I took a deep breath. And another one. And another one, another one, another one... Oh no, don`t you dare hyperventilating now! I face-slapped me inwardly.

"I love you." I said and sheepishly looked down at my bedcover.

"I know." Cat said matter-of-factly. "I love you too." I sighed desperately.

"No, that`s not what I meant. I don`t love you like a friend loves a friend..." I bit my lower lip as I said the next thing. "I am in love with you Cat."

When she didn`t say anything I looked up, afraid to see an upset expression on her face, but instead of dismay or terror, I saw that a huge grin was stretched across her face. A smile! She is smiling! This is good right? Right? Wait... why am I asking myself?

"You are not upset?" I asked hesistantly.

"Are you kidding me?" She laughed and threw herself into my arms. "What the heck took you so long? It`s been killing me."

"What? You mean you knew?!" I half-shouted out of astonishment.

"Well no, it`s just that I have like liked you for... a lot longer." Cat`s voice subsided at the end of her sentence.

"How long is a lot longer?" I asked curious about the answer, but Cat was too busy blushing to give me one. "Cat?"

"I don`t know exactly when I started, but I kind of had a crush on you since... the big showcase?" That IS a lot longer.

"CAT! Why didn`t you tell me?"

"I`m sorry, but what was I supposed to say? Hey my name`s Cat, I think you`re the prettiest girl I have ever seen and I have a huge crush on you?" I smiled at her excitement. Cat was so cute when she was excited.

"Did you just say I am pretty?" I grinned at her.

"No I said that you are the prettiest." She took my hand and gave me a soft smile. I didn`t even realize that we were both leaning in. When our heads were only inches away from each other Cat said. "Can I ask you something?"

"Anything." I answered quickly, which made her smile grow a little wider.

"Can I kiss you?" She asked, uncertain and nervous. I suppressed an "aww"-like noise. Her insecurity was just too adorable. I nodded instead of giving her an actual answer, afraid that my voice might fail. Was I excited? As hell, but I leaned in closer anyway.

When Cat`s lips touched mine I was not surprised to have exactly the same sensation I had had in my dream. Her lips were really soft and the touch made my stomach turn upside down, jump and turn back up multiple times.

"Wow" Cat breathed when we parted. Her eyes remained closed.

"'Wow' doesn`t even cover it." I grinned at her statement and kissed her again. It started out slowly and softly, but quickly became more passionate.

The only reason why we stopped, was because we were both running out of breath.

Cat and I didn`t go to sleep again. We just layed in my bed, shared sweet kisses every now and then and cuddled until my alarm clock went off.

"Do we really have to go to school?" I groaned and made her giggle against my shoulder.

"Yes, you can`t just ditch whenever you feel like it." She said with an only half serious expression.

"Don`t you think that today is a special occasion?" I smiled widely and quickly kissed her on the lips, which made her giggle again.

"Maybe, but don`t you want to tell our friends about... us?" Cat said and hopped off the bed. I didn`t really know, IF we should tell anyone, to be honest. It`s not that I wasn`t sure about my feelings for Cat - or the other way around by the way - but I knew that people tend to not except things that are different and I didn`t want Cat to get bullied or anything like that. I knew that Jade would probably trash anyone who dared to offend Cat, but it would hurt her feelings anyway.

"What are you thinking?" Cat asked, raising one of her eyebrows.

"It`s just that... Do you really think we should tell anyone? I mean people can be really mean Cat... What if they don`t except us?" I told her.

"Are you kidding me?" Cat started laughing. "We are not going to a stupid stereotyped school, where everyone who is different gets mobbed. We are students of Hollywood Arts. Everyone there is different." She kind of had a point there and I already knew that at least one of our friends would certainly be okay with it.

"You should know that someone already knows something." I informed her, while getting of the bed. "Jade sort of found out that I like you, because s-."

"Jade knew?! She is so going to die!" Cat freaked out.

"What`s wrong? I thought we wanted to tell our friends anyway?" I asked confused.

"It`s not about that. Jade didn`t just know about you liking me, but also about me liking you!" Cat looked furious. That bitch. Acting like she doesn`t know a thing, when she knows everything! She is so going to get that back.

"Cat calm down." I took her hand and a smile was playing around my lips. "Do you feel like having a little acting exercise?"

"Good morning Jade." I said in a sad and mournful sound.

"What`s up with you? Not that I care, but I am curious." Jade asked, but without her usual indifferent facial expression. I made a face like my pet died and let a few tears escape. When I threw myself into Jade`s arms I completely startled her. I would pay thousands of dollars to take a picture of her right now.

"S-she said she didn`t li-hi-ke me like tha-hat. She said that I-I should stay awa-hay from her." I sobbed into her shoulders.

"What? That`s not possible. Why would she do that?" I can`t tell you, how much I enjoyed the very confused face of Jade, at which I was currently looking. It was priceless!

"Well I guess she is just not into girls..." I said, now a little bit calmer, but I still tried to look like I was going to burst into tears again any moment.

"Where is she? I need to talk to her." Jade said befuddled.

"She went straight to class after she got out of my car." I sniffed and Jade stormed off to Sickowitz`s classroom.

I followed her silently laughing and stopped at the door, but she couldn`t see me, since her back was directed at me.

"Cat!" Jade screamed. "What is wrong with you? Why the heck did you reject Tori? I thought you were hopelessly in love with her or whatever." Cat was sitting in the front row of the class and turned around.

"What are you talking about? I only like Tori as a friend." Cat stated perplexed.

"Are you freaking kidding me?!" Jade cried out. "Since you have seen Tori for the first time, you wouldn`t shut up about her being the love of your life or something like that... and and you would be in heaven every time she would just look at you with a smile! And now you tell me that she`s just your friend after she told you how she has feelings for you that are way over the friendzone-line?"

Cat just nodded.

"Are you freaking kidding me?!" Jade shouted again. That was the moment when I stepped into the classroom.

"Aww. Really? That`s what you said?" I grinned, walked over to Cat and gave her a quick peck on the lips. Cat smiled back at me. We both looked at Jade who seemed like she had lost us completely.

"W-What?" She stuttered and sat down on the chair next to her.

"Oh Jade, you should see your face!" Cat started to laugh uncontrolable. I stood behind her and layed my hands on her hips, smiling widely at Jade.

"How does it feel when someone plays with you?" I grinned. Although she didn`t tell me that Cat already told her that she was in love with me by the time we talked yesterday, I wasn`t really mad at her or anything. Sure at first I was a little angry, but only because Cat was so upset. After all Jade was the one who practically forced me into telling Cat about my feelings for her, so there was no reason for me to be mad at her, right? Especially not after our little "acting exercise".

By now Jade was glaring at both of us. "I so didn`t deserve this, you know. I only didn`t tell any of you, because it wouldn`t have been... as romantic."

Cat rolled her eyes. "Since when excatly is Jade West into romantic stuff?"

"Oh I am not... I just kind of thought you two would be." Jade said.

"Aww. That`s so sweet." Cat squealed and hugged Jade.

"Yeah well, don`t mention it. Ever!" She demanded.

"Got it." Cat and I said at once.
