Note: First, I would like to apologize for that disgrace of a chapter that was posted previous to this one. I'm not good at those kinds of scenes, ok?! D: Anyways, I promise I'll do it justice in the future! Ok? Stay with me, please! Don't leave me! *starts singing "Baby Come Back"* Anyways, this is going to be Kat's realization of what she did the night previous. Enjoy, my friends! Keep giving me this feedback! I love it!

Chapter 11

Realization

Her head hurt. Scratch that. It felt like it was about to split open. Kat peeked one of her eyes open and looked around. Sunlight was just peeking through the window, some birds were chirping, and it was very peaceful. She looked at the clock on the wall. 10:28 a.m. It was Saturday, so she wasn't missing anything, thank goodness. But something was off. She moved her hand around to feel where she was. It was soft and warm. Very warm. And it was moving up and down slightly. Her eyes shot open with realization, and she looked at what she was resting against. No. she thought to herself. No, no, no, no, no. Please, Lord. Tell me this isn't who I think it is. she pleaded inwardly. But it was exactly who she thought it was: Johnny. They had apparently fallen asleep in the chair that they were in the previous night. She was sitting in his lap with her head on his chest; before she pulled it away, that is. She shook him slightly to wake him.

"Johnny." No response. "Johnny!" A little louder. Still nothing. "Worthington!" she nearly yelled, shaking him by his horns.

"Ow! Hey, take it easy!" he groaned, his voice sounding like a child being woken up for high school by his mother. But when he opened his eyes, his expression and tone changed completely. "Oh." he said, surprise in his tone as well as on his face. "Hey, Katnip." he smiled nervously, looking down and then back up at her. She didn't look too happy.

"What did- How did- Did we-" she stammered, panicking slightly and running a clawed hand through her fin-like hair, looking anywhere except for his eyes. Kat, if your mom could see you right now, she'd skin you alive and wear your fur for a coat. she scorned herself, covering her face with both hands. Johnny cleared his throat and rubbed the back of his neck.

"Well, yes and no." he answered her question, looking off to the side to avoid her worried gaze.

"What are you talking about, Worthington?" she asked, more fear than anger in her tone.

"Well, let's just say your still a virgin." he tried to be as indirect as possible, hoping she would catch on. She had to think hard for a moment, trying to remember at least some of last night. Then it hit her.

"Oh!" she sighed, burying her face in her hands once again out of embarrassment and shame. "Oh." was all she could manage to say, keeping her face hidden behind her claws.

"How did you get so good at that?" he asked, trying to lighten the mood a bit. It didn't work. At all. She got right to eye level with him, her eyes dangerous slits and her fangs making an appearance.

"You will speak of this to no one." she growled, poking him in the chest. "Understood?" she asked, narrowing her eyes further. He just swallowed hard and nodded quickly, not wanting to get mangled. "Good." she finished curtly, standing up to look for her shirt. He followed suit, standing up and putting his robe back on, tying the knot tightly. "No more drinking for me. At least for now." she said quietly to herself, pulling her tank top over her head.

"Agreed." Johnny mumbled, brushing his fur down with his hands. "At least not around you." he added, tossing a smirk her way. She just glared daggers at him, causing that smirk to disappear.

"Ugh. I need to get back to the dorms and shower. Big time." Kat said, looking herself over in a mirror. Her fur was messy and her hair was out of its usual ponytail style. She patted most of her fur down with her hands, but she still felt gross for more reasons than one.

"Yeah, I should probably get cleaned up too." Johnny agreed, looking himself over as well. "Hopefully the guys aren't awake yet..." Johnny muttered under his breath, catching Kat's attention.

"What did you say?" she asked, worry and a bit of anger in her tone. She forgot they weren't the only ones who slept here last night. Johnny laughed nervously and rubbed the back of his head.

"Don't sweat it. They're all probably still asleep. Let me take a listen." Johnny tried to calm her, putting the side of his head against the door to listen.

"Hear anything?" Kat asked impatiently, getting a glare from him.

"Shh! I can't hear over your yappin'. Chill out for a second." he shushed her, earing a huff and a cold stare. "I can't hear anybody. Follow me and keep quiet." he whispered to her, motioning for her to follow him. Johnny opened the door ever so slightly and peeked out. He looked back at Kat and nodded and slipped out the door. But when he turned away from the room to walk down the hallway, he nearly had a heart attack.

"Hola, amigo." a Spanish voice said calmly. Johnny nearly jumped out of his fur.

"Jesus Christ!" Johnny almost yelled, putting a paw over his chest where his heart would be. Kat almost had to dive back into the room and hide. It's a good thing Johnny's outburst covered the noise her escape had made. "Don't do that! You almost gave me a heart attack." Johnny shoved his friend playfully, glaring at him with a small grin.

"Pfft." Javier was trying not to bust out laughing, the struggle clear on his face. "A bit jumpy, aren't we?" he chuckled, covering his mouth with one of his four hands to keep the laughter in.

"Yeah, it's hilarious." Johnny said, not as amused as his friend was. "Hey, do the guys have any plans for lunch today?" he asked, trying to change the subject. Javier thought for a moment and then shook his head.

"Nothing comes to mind. Why?" the bug-like monster answered, leaning against the wall and crossing one set of arms.

"Just curious." Johnny replied as calmly as possible, glancing behind him to make sure Kat was hidden. "Hey, could you do me a favor and see if we have any pain killers? My head is throbbing." Johnny asked, half hoping that they did. But he was mostly trying to get rid of Javier.

"Drinking late, were we?" Javier asked, a playful yet stern look on his face. Johnny nodded and scratched the back of his head. "Understandable, amigo. I'll see what we have." Javier patted his friend's shoulder and turned to head down the hallway. Johnny gave a "thanks" and motioned Kat out with his arm, not taking his eyes off of Javier. She walked over behind him, but Javier turned around suddenly, causing Johnny to panic and push her back in the room, knocking her over in the process. "How bad is the headache?" Javier asked, looking at his friend with amusement and sympathy.

"Pretty bad." was the curt answer he got. Javier nodded and continued on his way, rounding the corner to the bathroom. When Johnny turned around, the sight before him made him want to die of laughter. Kat was laying on the ground on her back, propping herself up on her elbows and glaring at him, part of her bangs covered one eye. "Sorry, Katnip. He turned around." he chuckled, offering her a hand. She growled a "whatever" and took his hand, standing up and fixing her hair. The two then slipped out of the room and down the stairs and somehow they made it to the front door. "Well this was fun." Johnny said once Kat was outside, earning a look from her that wasn't very amused.

"Never speak of this to anyone. Ever." she said, pointing at him for emphasis. He held up his hands in defense and gave an "ok, ok". She nodded once and crossed her arms over her chest. It was chilly this morning. "Well, I'd better make myself scarce. See ya, Worthington." she said with not as much hostility as usual. He nodded to her and waved as she left, watching her go down the street until she was out of sight. He turned around to see Javier standing at the top of the stairs with some aspirin and a glass of water for his friend.

"Tsk, tsk. Sneaking a girl out of the house without telling me? I'm ashamed, amigo." Javier smirked, making his way down the stairs. Johnny just blinked a couple of times, his face heating up as he tried to defend himself.

"Hey, she was just returning a book she borrowed. That's all." he retorted, crossing his arms and glaring at his friend. Javier just rolled his pinkish eyes and gave his friend the medicine and glass of water.

"Sure she was, Johnny." Javier smirked once again, crossing his arms. Johnny glared at him over the rim of the glass he was drinking the water from, earning a laugh from Javier. "You're too much, hombre." Javier said, some laughter still clinging to his words.

"Look, you can't say anything to anyone, or I'm a dead monster walking. Got it?" Johnny asked, more serious now. Javier nodded and still grinned at his friend.

"Hey, at least a bit of that tension has been released, eh?" Javier joked, elbowing his frat brother. Johnny's face got a pink tint to it, getting a laugh from Javier. "You dog." his Spanish friend slapped him once on the back, laughing as he did so. This is going to be a long year... Johnny thought to himself, groaning in frustration as he and his best friend made their way into the kitchen.
