Jade ended up spending the night at Cat's. There was no school that day, it was some school board thing, or what not. No one ever knew what it was, they just knew they didn't have school. Jade looked over at Cat. She was covered in flour, icing, and something rainbow. Jade knew she looked the same. Cat was still asleep and surrounded by her stuffed animals so Jade got up and went over to the bathroom. The mirror revealed that she looked like a unicorn threw up on her. Ew. Jade cringed at the sight. So she went into the room next to Cat's, got clothes, and went back to the bathroom and turned the shower on and started cleaning herself off. It's pretty bad when you have your own stash of clothes at your friends house, and a key to it.
It wasn't long after Jade finished did Cat wake up. The girl yawned and walked over to Jade. "Hey."
"Hi." Jade ran her fingers through her wet hair. "Sleep well?"
"Yep." Cat was smiling and was very happy. She looked over to the clock and saw it was almost noon. Jade also saw this.
Something came to mind. "Ug, we have that party at school in an hour. You should probably get ready." Hollywood Art's was having some sort of concert party thing. Most of the people were chosen at random to sing either an original song, or they could do a cover of a song. Either way, Jade wasn't in the mood for it.
"Kaykay." Cat turned away and skipped off to get her clothes and then went to take a shower.
Jade took her phone and and called Beck. "Hey."
"Where are you? We have to get to the party." Beck's voice sounded muffled on the phone.
Exhaling Jade replied calmly. "Still at Cat's house. Can you pick us up in an hour?"
"Sure thing. Love you."
"Love you." Jade pulled her phone away from her head and hung up. She was getting hungry, so she went down to the kitchen and grabbed a cupcake. It was vanilla. The icing was dyed red and when Jade finished eating, her teeth were stained red. Made it look like she was a vampire.
"When is Beck getting here? And whoa Jade, your teeth are all read." Cat stood behind Jade, running a brush through her hair.
Grabbing a napkin to whip her face Jade spoke. "Soon I would think."
After placing the brush down, Cat walked over to the plate of cupcakes, and grab a red velvet one, with sky blue icing. It only took one bite for her to fall in love, and it took three more for her to cry out in sadness. "The cupcake is all gone." Cat looked down at the empty wrapper, where a cupcake used to be.
"Here, take this one." Jade handed Cat another cupcake and they waited by the stairs until Beck arrived. The engine to his truck could be heard all the way down the street. "Well, time to go.
"Yay!" Cat shot up and opened the door. She skipped over to Beck's car and waited for Jade so she would get in first. When everyone was in the car, and the seatbelts were fastened, Beck drove off to the school.
It was a silent drive, there was nothing that really needed to be said. There were already a bunch of people at the school when the three arrived so Beck parked in the way back. Cat was the first to get out. She felt safer knowing Jade would be with her. "Come on Cat." Jade was using her same bitter voice like she always did at school. She took a hold of Cat's arm and dragged her forward, leaving Beck to talk to Andre. There were some seniors playing the guitar and singing on the platform above. Jade paid no attention to them, she just cut back and forth between people. She saw Tori at some point, but didn't really do much. When Tori saw the two girls, she just pulled out her phone and called someone.
"Where are we going Jade?"
Jade rolled her eyes at the red haired girl's question. "Now if I told you it would ruin the surprise, wouldn't it?"
There was a squeal. "I love surprises!"
Finally stopping at a table, Jade sat down and pulled a piece of paper and pencil from her bag. "Here, draw a prettiful butterfly on the paper." It was just a distraction so Cat wouldn't worry.
Then minutes passed and Andre was up performing an original song he wrote. Jade actually liked it. A police car drove into the parking lot, but Jade didn't see it. She did hear though, when one of the police men asked where she and Cat were. Cat also heard and she threw her head up to see what was going on. A kid in their kid pointed at the table where the two girls were sitting. The police officer thanked the guy, and walked over to the girls. "Jade West, Cat Valentine?"
"What?" Jade replied flat. By now, everyone was watching wide eyed as the police man loomed over the two girls.
"I would like to ask you a few questions, would you two come down to the station with me?"
Jade exchanged a worried glance with Cat before speaking. "What for?"
"It's about something I don't think I should discuss here. Can you guys just come with me?" He leaned forward in a stand that almost looked threatening. Neither of the girls wanted to go, but he wouldn't leave. The male called his partner over, and they handcuffed the two girls, just so they would cooperate.
On the way to the police car, Jade heard some of the nasty comments students were saying.
"I bet they stole something."
"Maybe they just witnessed something." One black haired boy tried defending the two girls.
"Or killed someone." That comment hurt the most of all.
The girls were placed in the back of the car and the two police officers got into the front of the car and started the journey to the police station.
EVIL CAT EVIL CAT EVIL CAT. I get a kick out of saying that.
