Chapter 12
I sat in car fuming with rage, Cat sat with her hand on her chest covering her heart. Her mouth was a gape and she breathed heavily.
"I don't believe this" I said through gritted teeth "I honestly hate the man… Oh my god… I can't… I" I couldn't even begin to describe how I felt "He is so arrogant" Cat had her mouth open in shock, she shook her head slowly. I pulled out of the parking lot and drove down the road, winding down the windows when the car became too hot.
"Is your mom back yet?" I asked her, checking my mirrors, I could see out of the corner of my eye that she shook her head.
"Nope, the note said about two week, I am guessing she wrote it a couple of days before we came home, so it could be another week, could be more" she gave a slight shrug, showing that she didn't really care that much. I gave her an absentminded smile, and turned on the radio.
'Number One' by Ginger Fox started to play on the radio, Cat and I shared a small laugh remembering the night that we went to 'Karaoke Dokie' and had a competition with too tone deaf girls. Cat and I started singing the song, dancing and messing around in our seats.
"We should go to Karaoke Dokie again" she said looking out of the window.
"Cat, we were banned" I replied to her speaking slowly. She looked at me confused.
"No we were banned from singing, that doesn't mean we can't go and watch other people… And besides that was two years ago… I'm sure there over it and will let us sing again now" she made a good point; I sat and contemplated it for a while.
"Sure we'll go on Friday and try to sing, if we can't sing, I'm sure they'll be there again and we can have a good laugh either way" she nodded in agreement.
"Who else will be coming?" she questioned. I knew this meant she wanted to invite Tori out with us.
"We'll see if the others can come, if not we'll still go right?" I asked my question seemed fair. I didn't want to miss out just because the others wouldn't come, she nodded and smiled. She pulled out her phone and started to text the others making plans. After about fifteen minutes of her texting people she turned to me.
"Beck, and Andre aren't coming, Andre has to go to his grandma's, and Beck said he didn't want to because he doesn't sing much, Robbie might he doesn't know yet but will tell us closer to the time and Tori is definitely up for it" she smiled, slipping the phone back into her pocket, I remained silent and nodded, hoping that Robbie would decide to come so it wasn't just the three of us again. "Yay" she squealed clapping her hands together.
"If we get to sing I'm picking the song again" I said in a matter of fact way, I wanted to perform a song with Cat again, it had been a while.
"Phooey" she said pouting, jokingly.
"I picked a good song last time right?" I questioned, she gave me a nod. We were half way to Cat's house when I felt a tiny spot of rain fly through my window, within a minute of that happening the weather picked up and the rain started to bounce on the road and windows of my car, we both wound up the windows speedily.
"At lease this time the car's not topless" Cat joked, letting out a small laugh. I remembered the day and couldn't think why Cat could laugh at it, we had caused quite a bit of devastation that day; for one we set an old actresses house on fire, nearly caused to crashes; one by me spitting into the road and making a car swerve and the other Cat letting go of the umbrella, making another car swerve. Plus, we got harassed shortly by a clown. But I guess, that's just how innocent she was, she could find something to laugh at, I wished I could see the world through rose tinted glasses like Cat, instead of seeing it for what it really was. I looked at her and smiled.
We drove in the rain for about five more miles before I pulled into Cat's drive, she got out of the car and ran to her house, I followed calling over to her "I'm staying her for a few hours"
"Kay kay" she replied as she unlocked the door, she stepped inside and shook her head, I could hear her sodden hair hitting her in the face from the movement of her head. I sat down on her floor in front of her TV looking in the cabinet for any good films I got increasingly more annoyed as all the DVD's that were down here were Disney ones, I mean some of them were good films and I did like them when I had watched them, but I wouldn't every really admit it to anyone other than Cat.
"You found one you like?" she asked from behind me.
"Only, Tangled and I'm not in the mood to watch it right now" I admitted.
"Kay kay, do you want me to go get a musical?" she questioned playing with her hair.
"Yes" I answered making my way to the sofa
"Which one do you want?" she questioned, I sat for a while and thought of all the musicals she owned, and which one I would rather watch.
"Either, 'Sweeney Todd', 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show', or 'Little Shop of Horrors'" I said, she ran up the stairs to get one of the DVD's, while she picked what we watched I made my way to her kitchen, and got some pop and potato chips.
She came back down the stairs with two DVD's in her hand "I couldn't choose" she admitted she held up the DVD's so I could see what she had narrowed the choice down to. I looked between the boxes and though; would I rather watch a film about an alien plant that feeds on humans, or watch a film about an alien transvestite who kidnaps humans… who was I kidding the latter won every time
"The Rocky Horror Picture Show" I said with a smile on my face, she placed the other DVD box down and placed our choice in the DVD player. As soon as the opening song 'Science fiction/Double Feature' started Cat and I sang at the top of our lungs. We knew this musical word for word, and whenever we watched it, it always turned into a sing-along, this probably a main reason why no one else would watch it with us.
The sky began to get dark earlier than usual tonight, this was caused by the weather, and half way through the film Cat had to turn a light on because the bright screen in the dark room was starting to play havoc with our eyes.
During the song 'Rose tint my world' there was a knock at the door, three tiny little taps, Cat paused the film and sat in silence for a while, and it happened again, three tiny taps on the oak door of her house,
"Who is it?" she called, no answer, just three little taps again, Cat stood slowly and walked to the door, she clasped her hand around the handle and pulled it down wards slowly, she opened it until it was ajar she peaked her head around the door, there was no one in sight, from behind the door, she beckoned me over with her hand.
She opened the door wider, and showed me that there was no one there, we looked up and down the street a few times the only thing on the street was a black fiat 500 that didn't seem to have a driver in it yet the head lights were still on and I could hear the faint rumbling of its engine.
Cat closed the door and locked it so no one could get in, the two of us sat down in front of the door quietly not bothering to play the film; we sat in silence in case it happened again. But this time we wanted to see the face of the man who was messing with our minds.
