School today… Yay… I don't know what to expect yet; I don't know what Tori will do. Will she try to avoid me? Will she confront me? I really just don't want to see her, so I hope she'll ignore me. I can handle getting ignored, I've spent almost my whole life being ignored by three people that were kind of a major benefactor to my life. What's one more?
Me and Jade were in the middle of getting ready for school when my phone rang. It was… my dad.
"J-Jade!" I almost shouted and dropped my phone. "M-my dad. He's calling me!"
"Don't answer it. Give it to me."
I ran back to where I dropped my phone and snatched it up. It was still ringing when I handed it to Jade.
"Hello?" she said into my phone as she answered.
I stood there with my mouth open. Why would she answer it? We're going to be late for school. She was confusing me so much, I didn't know what to do. I was scared. Wait a second… why am I scared? He's on the phone, nowhere near me. He can't even see me, let alone touch me. I had nothing to worry about.
"No, she's not interested in talking to you… I don't care if it's "urgent"… So…Does it sound like I care?… Listen, you have a lot of nerve calling this number... Why? You wanna know why?... Do you not remember a thing about Friday?... Wow. You. Are. Stupid… You know what! Goodbye!... You don't deserve a daughter like Cat! She's way too good for the likes of you!" she jammed the end button really hard. I thought that she would definitely break my phone.
"How did it go?" I asked Jade.
"It went rather well." She said with a triumphant voice.
There was a couple of minutes of silence. I don't like quietness that much. Not at all.
"Did you mean that?"
Jade looked at me as if she was confused or something.
"Mean what?"
"What you said to my dad. That I was way too good for him."
She nodded at me with a little hint of a smile. I liked seeing Jade smile; she had a very pretty smile. Me and Beck seemed to be the only people who could get Jade to laugh or smile. It made me feel kind of special, because Beck was one of Jade's most favorite people. I think he actually is her favorite person. To be up there with him is a big deal. I don't think I've ever really had a special place in somebody's life like I do with Jade.
Later that day, at school, I was encountered by none other than miss Tori Vega. I was walking in the hall way, when all of a sudden I was grabbed by my forearm. I was really scared; I thought my dad had come to attack me or something. But it wasn't. Tori dragged me into the nearest janitor's close.
"Are you mad at me or something?"
I didn't know what to say. Of course I was mad at her, but should I just come out and say it. I was usually a pretty honest person.
"Just—"
"Why?" she cut me off.
Tori was one of those crazy perfectionist people. If one person isn't pleased with her, she has to figure out what she's doing wrong and fix it.
"Well… you see…"
"Spit it out Cat!"
I was a little bit offended at her yelling at me so much.
"Well, you always get everything you want. It's not natural… And you see, you just have the perfect life."
She was so obviously confused. I literally had to sit there for an hour and explain to her why I was mad at her. Somewhere in the middle of explaining, I realized that I wasn't mad at her, I was… jealous. I was completely and utterly jealous of Tori. She has everything that I've always wanted. The perfect family, amazing talent, guys who crush on her all the time. I was completely jealous. I wanted her life. Like, I would do anything to be her. It was a weird feeling.
Before Tori came to Hollywood Arts, me and Jade were one of the ones that were on top. We were a team. We worked together and then Tori came along and just completely tore that down. Now, somehow she was better than we were. I mad at her for ruining our reputation as the Talented Ones. And then when we tried to be friends with her, she kind of treated us like we were some sort of foreign, unknown objects.
Oh, and on top of all of that, sometimes she treats me like I'm stupid or something. But everyone was like that, so it didn't really matter that much.
After my explanation, Tori just walked out of the closet, looking very disappointed. I don't blame her. I was kind of harsh on her.
