Chapter 13,
Jade's POV:
Why is it, I wonder? Why is it we can't dress up as bunny girls at school? It's more fascinating that way. God, screw this apology letter!
Beck's POV:
Jade's still pissed. Not only was she stopped halfway through distribution, but today we started off without any new members. Now we're left with….well, we're still on Tori, I guess. "Hey Jade, anyone who transfers in the middle of the school year, especially right before exams, has to be suspicious, right? I mean, you agree, right?" Grinning, Jade told me that maybe it's because of her family. "Looks like Canada is finally catching on. So, it would still be abnormal." Heh, if Tori was an A.I., then that would somewhat satisfy Jade. But I'll say it again, it's impossible. Even if there was someone like that, it's preposterous to think that someone would find us. Right? Yeah.
All of sudden, Jade slammed her first onto the ping pong table. "That's why sitting like a knot on a log won't cut it! I finally get it now. Passing out flyers and dressing provocatively isn't enough!" That's it? Huh? Then, the door opened and it was Cat.
Cat's POV:
Oops, did I walk in on a secret conversation? Oh dear me, Jade's looking at me funny. I hope that she won't force me into that outfit again! How humiliating…."
Beck's POV:
"Judging by your reaction, maybe you misunderstood being here. Besides, didn't you have a Student Council meeting?" I almost forgot that since Tori disappeared, our class needed a new class president and they unanimously elected Cat.
Jade's POV:
That's it! Turn your eyes this way….that's great! Cat, how about you try putting your arms together. Man, once people see this, we'll be golden!
Beck's POV:
"Hey Jade, I've been meaning to ask, but where in the hell did you get this stuff? Wait, you didn't steal it, did you?" Jade put down the camera that she was using and turned her head. "Oh this? I took it from the AV Club. They weren't using it so I got it from them." Not that, West. The outfits. God, why? Jade told me that she got them from the Drama Club. "Don't you mean you stole it?" I didn't get a word from Jade. Anyway, I feel bad that Cat was forced to quit Costume Clan and now she's the mascot of Oddity. In short…this is bloody brilliant….."Jade! That's enough!"
Jade's POV:
Very nice! Yes! Huh? Dammit, out of room! And these are pretty solid pictures too….
Beck's POV:
Crap, we've hit a dead end. "I can't fix this by myself, Jade. Look, maybe the AV guys could move these to another computer." Jade preceded to tell me that she had a plan by grabbing Cat and running out of the room. As they say, where there's a will, there's a way. Ah, I can feel it. I can sense it. Yep. The Warning Bells are going off and the tension you could cut off with a knife. When we arrived at the AV Club, Jade slammed the door wide open, "I've come for a computer." The AV guys began to whisper to each other about things about Jade, "Oh no, it's Jade West….this can't be happening….please spare us!"
Then the president of the AV Club stepped forward. "What's this about? Oh, it's you, Jade." Jade told the president to fork over a computer. Apparently, she wasn't listening. "First, you barge in unannounced, then you don't bother introducing yourself. Jade introduced herself, I mean us, and explained that Oddity required many things, hence a computer. "Apparently you already have so many of these….I bet damn well that you won't miss one, right?" Jade rubbed her hand around a Pearbook while the president warned her not to touch it. "T-that computer is so valuable, we had to use our comic book money to buy it."
"What's the big deal over one lousy computer? God, we just wanted to save these pictures of her!" Jade pointed to Cat. Then, I knew that I had to lay down the law. "Cut it out, Jade! The prez is right. Look, things can't always go the way that you want them to. Most people are satisfied with what they already have." Aah, I did it. I stood up to Jade. Ugh, I already know that she's going to kill me. Oh shit, she's looking at me. "Hmm, is that so? Well, I just thought that I would try asking. Sorry for wasting your time. Canada, Cat, let's go. Damn, Jade's really bugging about this. Huh? That's weird. "Jade, I understand. Let's make a trade. As you can see, we lack a girl in our AV Club and we've always needed someone to do the cleaning." Huh? What are they suggesting? This is throwing me through a loop….or two. "Fine, you can have Cat in exchange for a computer from your society. Temporarily. Deal? Good." That was unexpected….completely unexpected. Not only did Jade hear me and prez out, but to lease off Cat as their maid? I just can't get my head around it.
Cat's POV:
Um…do I really have to wear this? Of course….hyaaaaaah?
Beck's POV:
Jade's at it again. Just as I had feared. "As the exchange student from Oddity, throw your chest out! Got it, Cat? After a half of an hour, you need to come back to Oddity, got it?" Thirty minutes? Can she really finish uploading these pictures so quickly?
Jade's POV:
I don't plan on losing Cat nor the computer. Hm? Well, there Cat goes.
