So it did take a couple weeks to finish redoing the whole entire house. I love it. Absolutely, positively love it. Jade's room is exactly the way it was when she was staying at her apartment. You know, before she got kicked out and all. I told her she could take my parents room, but she said that she was ok with my brother's old room. All she had to do was modify it a little bit, his room was already all black and junk. I guess she liked it that way. Who am I kidding? I know she liked it that way.
I just had to switch out the carpets in my room. It's not carpet anymore; I replaced it with wooden floors. That way they won't stain like the way a regular old carpet would. So yeah, now its wood not carpet. I like wood; you can slide around in socks on it and its all fun and stuff. My walls were still very, very pink and very, very frilly and I was very, very happy with it all. Very, very much.
So now we decided to have that party that me and Jade have been talking about. It's going to be the best party in the whole entire world. There's going to be dancing and boys and food and boys and karaoke. Oh! And a bunch of cute boys. Everybody who goes to Hollywood Arts is going to be there. And the gang was here helping us set up.
"Cat, where should we put the snack table?" that was Robbie.
"Right over there is fine." I told him, pointing towards the fireplace.
"Hey, where's Rex?" Tori asked
"Yeah? Did that puppet finally get turned into woodchips?" Jade mocked Robbie as she helped him move the table.
"He's not a puppet! And he didn't want to come."
We all looked at him weirdly. Rex loved parties, and this was supposed to be the second biggest party ever. Next to the one at Kenan's house that Andre had thrown a couple months ago. That one was amazing! It was so much fun, even though I couldn't talk at all. That sucked. Because we all know that I like to talk, and that whole entire week that I couldn't just killed me.
"Why didn't Rex wanna come?" Beck asked
Robbie looked down and shuffled his shoes. He kept taking his glasses and cleaning them and messing with them. Rex probably would've made fun of him for it all. He was obviously avoiding the question that we were all thinking. I had a little bit of a bad feeling about this.
"Dude, why didn't he want to come?" Andre repeated.
More silence. I was getting a little bit worried. Did something bad happen to Rex? Again?
"Spit it out, Shapiro!" Jade threatened him.
"He… he thinksCatandJadeare weirdandcrazyand… justplaintrouble."
We all just looked at him shocked. As much as he tried not to blush, he did. We all new exactly what he said and we all had the same reaction. I don't know about them, but I was mad at Robbie. Everyone thinks that I think Rex is real, but I most certainly don't. I know just as well as everyone else that Robbie uses Rex to express his emotions that he's too wimpy to express himself. Why did I just think that? That's mean.
"You take that back right now, puppet boy!" Jade threatened.
"I didn't say it, Rex did."
"Shut it, Robbie. We all know Rex is just some sort of façade you put up." Andre told him, pulling Jade off of him "Now say you're sorry to them. NOW!"
Andre pushed him up against a wall and looked deep into his eyes. I knew he wanted to do some more damage to him, but he was refraining from it. Plus, he was obviously having a hard time keeping himself from punching him right in the nose.
"But I didn't say it! I would be more than happy to bring Rex here for him to tell you, though."
I put a hand on Andre's shoulder. I felt him tense up a little bit and then settle back down. He finally set Robbie down, but still had him cornered. Andre refused to let Robbie just run away from him. Andre was a very defensive person. Especially with me. I don't know what it is, though.
"Just let him go."
"Go? Go where? Get that puppet?"
"No. Robbie, just go. Leave."
"Lil' Red? Are you sure? Knowing you, you're gonna be killing yourself over this. Of course, Jade will be just fine though. But you…"
I nodded my head and André moved out of the way for Robbie to runaway. That jerk. He could've at least said sorry. I don't even care if he says it through that stupid puppet says it for him. Note to self: stop acting so mean like Jade.
So Robbie ran away in all his cowardly ways. I stopped myself from crying as best as I could. I'll admit that I used to have a little mini-crush on Robbie, but that's been long gone for about two years now. Right now we had to worry about the party, not Robbie.
