Guys, again, I am SORRY for not posting for a few weeks. I started this chapter, but I never got the chance to finish until now. I really hope you guys enjoy. It's not too long, and again, I apologize, I just wanted to put something out. Because, something is better tahn nothing, right? Anyway, here you go, hope you like it. =)
-Tori's point of view-
Like I expected, Trina didn't come back to school to pick me up. Instead, Andre had to call his cousin to give us a ride. By that time it was around four. There weren't too many people there, so it was easier to talk and hear Andre.
"So tell me, why'd you kiss Cat exactly?" He took a seat in a booth and gave a smile.
I knew the question was coming, but at the same time I didn't want to answer. I also almost felt surprised by it. Even though I shouldn't be. Andre had to repeat the question before I answered again. When I shut my mouth, my jaw dropped when he asked, I took a moment to think.
In a quiet voice I whispered "Because of Jade."
I think Andre was trying to process what I said, he gave a look that meant 'what' but so it turned into a face of realization. "Wait...you mean those two are...?"
I could only nod. "Yeah. I don't know when they started or any of that. But they are. I don't know what I was doing." I hit my head on the table. "I'm such a bad friend."
"Oh come on, you're a great friend! Jealousy makes people do crazy things though! Don't sweat it. I'm sure Cat has already forgotten about what happened. Jade, well yeah, you mind want to avoid her, and you mind break a bone or two, but I'm sure she'll get over it."
Yeah, right. "Okay, sure." I lifted my head of the table and looked back towards Andre. I was about to say something, but a waitress came over to take out order. Once we gave her them, I spoke up. "So why do you think Cat and Trina were texting?"
Andre probably knew less than I did, since I was Trina's sister. He shrugged. "Maybe they are working on a birthday present for you. Cat is creative…"
Trina would never be that thoughtful. "Sure. But, just to ruin the surprise, why don't we check the messages?" I smiled and pull out the orange PearPhone that I had accidently grabbed. Before Andre even said anything, I was already pulling the messages up. "Let's see. This one, from Cat, says 'cupcake cupcake, won't you be me a cupcake. Sprinkles on top are so yummy, I just really am so hungry. Haha, like my song?'" Most of Cat's were talking about cupcakes, or rabbits, or something about her brother. I shook my head in annoyance, there was nothing here that would give reason to why Trina and Cat were talking. "Why would Trina listen to Cat?"
Taking the phone from me, Andre laughed. "Come on, let's just keep looking. Besides, a better question would be how does Cat put up with Trina. She seems to talk about guys, and how hot she is." He rolled his eyes after saying the last part. "Wait… Here look at this." Andre turned the phone to me. "Trina sent this to Cat."
"Hey Cat, I hope you're okay and Jade forgives you for what my sister did. At least now you know who the right choice is."I looked at the time the message was sent. 12:49, right after lunch. "Andre…" When I shot a glance at him, he looked just as confused as I did.
"Trina knew?" Andre sighed, and smiled when our sushi arrived. He gave a polite "Thanks" and continued. "Since when have Cat and Trina ever been that close as to know something like that? And why would Trina care that much?"
I took a bite from my sushi. "No, Andre, I don't think that's the right question here. Clearly, they seem to be good friends." I didn't continue, I was too busy with the sushi.
However, Andre wanted to know what I meant. "What is the right question then Tori?"
I grabbed Trina's phone back, and swallowed my sushi before eating. "Who is the other person Trina refers to in the part about 'the right choice' in that text?"
Andre and I made contact with each other, both obviously thinking the same thing, but neither said it. Andre finally spook up. "Let's see if there's a text saying anything about it."
We did just that.
-Jade's point of view-
I made Cat late to the bakery by thirty minutes. My bad, but she didn't seem to mind. Since I had to drive her there, and since I made her late, I decided to stay and help out. Besides, I wanted to spend time with Cat. She was happy I decided to stay, but pretty much everything makes Cat happy.
When we walked into the bakery, we were greeted by her brother, who rushed us into the back. No he wasn't mad at Cat, or me since I apparently now was expected to come help out, he just needed the help and needed more cupcakes fast.
I would never admit this to anyone, not even Cat, but I had a good time making cupcakes. Yeah, Cat's pink and rainbow, unicorn, bunny, happy designs were all sickening to me, but I could make scissors on them and make it look like there was blood or something.
We were about thirty minutes into baking before either of us said anything to each other. Cat was the one to break the silence. "Thank you for driving me here!"
Giving a half smile I nodded and added. "Yeah anytime Cat. Again, sorry for making you late."
"It's fine! I'm just glad my brother didn't do anything crazy while we were gone. Late time I was late, he decided to swallow a whole pack of cupcake wrappers! That was no fun!" Cat's voice was more joyful than upset at her brother's craziness. I figured she's just used to it, I mean she has lived with him for awhile.
Of course he'd do that too. "Well at least he didn't this time." I continued to bake, and Cat did too. It was weird neither of us had a single word to say to each other. Maybe it was just because there was this other guy in the room, I forget his name, and Cat didn't want to say anything. All I know is, it was too quite.
When the guy left the room, I turned to Cat. "How are we going to tell everyone? I mean, I know we are waiting after Beck leaves, but, how are we going to tell them?"
Cat stopped decorating the cupcake that was in front of her and looked at me. "I'm not sure Jade. What about we buy a bunch of bunnies, train them to send letters to people, and have the bunnies give a card to each person?" She was kidding, at least I think she was. She started giggling, so I rolled my eyes and moaned.
"Forget it. We will pick something out later." Not like it really mattered how we said it. Whatever though.
Cat looked away from me, but I could still see her smile. "Jade can you drive me home after we get off? Then can we work on our music project?"
Right, we did get a project. Hey, Cat was my partner, and I was all for spending time alone with her. "Sure Cat."
She turned back to me and tackled me with a hug. A bowl of cupcake batter came crashing down when I grabbed the table for support. Not only did it make a mess, it made a lot of noise, and Cat and I were covered in the sticky mess. I wasn't annoyed, but Cat's brother seemed to be.
He ran into the room when he heard the crash. "Guy! Get it together! Clean yourselves off, clean this mess, and get back to cupcakes! We are running out."
We both did as told and went to the bathroom in the back. There we two sinks, so I took the one on the right. I turned the faucet on and started cleaning myself off. When I looked at Cat, I saw she was talking her shirt off, there was a tank top underneath, but I still found my face getting hot just from that. Good thing my face was cover or I'd be blushing. SOMETHING I NEVER DO. What the heck was Cat doing to me?
