Chapter Thirty-Eight
Crazy Girl
…
Beck hummed silently to himself as he worked with his quite expensive Sony Sigma camera. "F Stop at 2.8…" He said quietly, vaguely hearing the laughter of his girlfriend of over a year and a half giggling through the halls of Hollywood Arts. "And…focus." He saw Cat's smiling face jumping in front of the screen when he was about to take the picture, but he couldn't bring himself not to take the picture. The shutter sound and flash went off. He chuckled as he put down his camera, but was a bit surprised when his girlfriend was suddenly taller than him and bouncing up and down. "Um…"
"Hi!" Cat yelled out, sounding out a breath, but her smile was lightening up the world still.
Beck was confused still. "Hi…"
"I'm wearing Jupiter Boots!" Cat blurted out, still jumping.
Beck blinked. "Any reason?"
Cat gasped to catch her breath. "So I can be bouncy!" She said and then started laughing again.
Beck grinned. "Okay then."
"What are you doing?" Cat asked, stepping out of the way. "Are you experimenting with the camera your grandparents bought for you?"
Beck nodded. "Yup. It's the coolest thing ever." Cat gasped. "Next to you, of course!" Beck added hastily and then she smiled again. "Whew." He recovered. "So I just saw you last night…and you did not have to boots before I left your house…now you do…when?" He asked, trying not to laugh.
She giggled. "My daddy came back home early this morning from his trip and he gave everybody a present, and he bought me these boots!"
Beck smiled. "That was nice of him."
"You won't think it's nice when I tell you why he thought of me when he bought them." Cat told him a bit grimly, only she was still bouncing.
"Why?"
"He said that they're a good exercise tool to help me lose weight." Cat sighed, but shrugged. "Oh well. I think they're fun and I love to feel bouncy!" She said, thinking of a bright side to the present.
Beck saw no bright side though or anything remotely close to it. His face was practically red as he clenched his camera. "You're dad is really starting to make me mad."
"I know he is." Cat told him thoughtfully. "But at least you don't have to live with him, right?" Beck grumbled something Cat couldn't make out. "Whew, I'm dizzy. Can we go get a snack from the vending machines?"
Beck nodded. "Sure, let me go put my camera in my locker. You didn't want to eat in front of your dad again?" She shrugged as they walked/bounced to Beck's clear locker. "I'm sorry. If I knew he was going to be home early, I would've snagged you something to eat like I usually do."
"It's okay." Cat said cutely once he finished with his locker.
"Cat."
"Hmm?"
"Take off the boots."
Cat gasped. "But…but Beck, I love feeling bouncy!"
"Cat, we can go pick up Sleepy later and then we'll go to the park and you can bounce all you want there, okay?" Beck told her, attempting to comprise with her. "Please."
Cat pouted, but nodded. "Kay-Kay." She stopped bouncing and Beck helped her out of the boots and they went to her locker, putting them away. "I'm lightheaded."
He laughed as he wrapped an arm around her waist. "Come on, girl, let's get some food in you."
…
Cat and Beck walked into their first class of the day, Cat nibbling on a rice crispy treat, and Beck nodded curtly to their friends. "Morning."
"Good morning." Andre grinned, but lost it when he saw Cat's sadden expression. "What's up, Lil' Red?"
"They were all out of Twinkies." Cat murmured.
"Cat, Twinkies and Rice Crispy Treats aren't even considered breakfast!" Beck practically snapped. "I told you get the Granola bar!"
"But I had a sweet tooth this morning!" Cat pouted, stomping her left foot on the tile floor.
"You had a starving stomach, which needs healthy food!" Beck told her firmly.
Cat gasped and dropped the treat in her hands. "So you think I'm fat too?"
"WHAT?" Beck flipped out, looking around the classroom and to his friends before back at his devastated girlfriend. "Did I say you- did say she was-"
"STUDENTS, I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE!" Sikowitz yelled, rushing into the room.
"Uhh, Sikowitz, now wouldn't be a pleasant time." Robbie said, motioning to the two still standing students in the class.
The door opened and closed again as Jade came in. "Yeah, hi, sorry I'm late." Jade said dully, but stopped as she saw Cat's teary eyes and Beck's guilty facial expressions. "Beck Oliver, WHAT did you do to her?" She growled with fire in her eyes.
Beck jumped and put his hands up on either side of his head. "Whoa, whoa, wait a minute-"
"Jade, am I really fat?" Cat asked, almost in tears.
Jade's jaw dropped and then she clenched her fists. "No. Did Beck say that?"
"Sort of."
"WHAT?"
"ENOUGH!" Sikowitz snapped loudly, silencing everyone. "SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!" Everyone did so, only Jade sat behind Beck's hair, glaring at the back of his head. Beck could almost feel the anger Jade was feeling as she wanted to rip his hair out and punch him in the face until his cheekbones were broken. "Anyways, so does everyone remember that group project I had you do last week?"
"The one where you had 5 people team up and do something nice for some random person in some random place here in Hollywood, write a paper about it, and do a presentation about it in front of the whole class in a musical manner?" Robbie said with an intelligent voice. "Yes."
Andre rolled his eyes at Robbie. "What about it?"
"Well, I did forget to mention that whoever's project WON would be getting a full paid week-long mission trip to LA so you can volunteer at the Dream Center." Sikowitz said with a big smile. "And the winners are…"
"Sikowitz, if you say the team name "A.B.C., JR.", I will be forced to walk out of this classroom and scream until the principal comes and I tell him you were beating us all with a stick." Jade told him in a threatening tone.
Sikowitz froze and paled.
Andre (A), Beck (B), Cat (C), Jade (J), and Robbie (R) all groaned.
"Man, if we knew that'd be the prize of winning, we would've done it on something more stupid." Andre whined, sinking into his seat.
"It was stupid!" Beck snapped. "Sikowitz, we ran up to a dog, helped get a twig out of a dog's paw, took the dog to a dog park with our dog, Sleepy, and let them play in the mud until it rained again, bathed the dog, and took it to a shelter!" He looked around. "It was nothing!"
"Am I sensing some frustration, Beck?" Sikowitz asked, looking concerned at the usually laidback 16 year old.
"Oh, so Sleepy making a new friend is NOTHING?" Cat screeched suddenly in her seat next to Beck. "See? SEE? I knew you didn't care about Sleepy!"
Beck lost it. "DUDE!"
"WHAT?"
"Ding, ding, ding!" Sikowitz interrupted, making siren noises. "Trouble in paradise for our "BAT" couple!" He laughed as everyone else rolled their eyes.
"Wait, wait, trouble?" Robbie stood up from his seat in the front row. "You two might break up?" He asked in hope. "Because my feelings for Cat are still there and-"
"SIT DOWN!" The whole class yelled at the busy haired boy, who immediately fell back into his chair.
"Anyways, Summer Break starts Friday, SO enjoy your weekend, because we are going to go to Dream Center on Monday morning and stay there the whole time until Friday evening." Sikowitz grinned. "Don't worry though. I'll be there, so will Lane. We're the leaders."
"Oh, now I feel so much better." Jade said sarcastically. "I can't wait to spend a week with recovering drug addicts, smelly homeless weirdoes, wannabe-gangsters who wannabe saved, and missionaries who really make out in a back alley. Sounds like a joy."
"Glad you're excited for it." Sikowitz told her.
"Aye." Andre sighed, knowing the next week was going to be one heck of a ride.
…
At the end of the school day, everyone ran out of the school to head home or to wherever they would usually go on a Tuesday afternoon. Cat walked out of the school doors, usually waiting for Beck, but not today, since she was still angry with him. She quickly started walking down the street towards her home. She ignored 6 calls and 4 text messages from her worried boyfriend until his car pulled up alongside of her on the sidewalk. "Stranger!" She yelled out.
Beck rolled his eyes. "Cat, get in the car!" He slammed on his breaks as Cat sighed and stopped walking. "Please?" Cat gave in and opened his car door, getting in. "That's my girl."
"I'm not YOUR girl anymore." Cat pouted, crossing her arms over her chest after putting her seatbelt on and Beck went back onto the road.
"Cat, you'll always be my girl." He smiled to her and then back at the road. "I'm so sorry for the way today turned out. I should've been more careful with my words."
"No, no…" Cat sighed, staring aimlessly out the window. "I'm sorry. I just…I don't know. When my dad's home, I'm always on my toes. I try to prepare myself every time I speak to him, just in case he decides to involuntary insult me again like he always does…but unfortunately, every time I hear those horrid words, it sends me for a spin again. So everything I heard today that had to deal with food made me on the edge. So I'm sorry." She looked to him. "Forgive me, love?"
He took her hand and kissed it. "I forgive you."
Cat leaned against his arm, their hands still connected tightly, and she fell asleep. He kissed her head and sighed. He wouldn't admit it out loud, but when she said "I'm Not YOUR Girl Anymore", Beck did get a little worried. Cat was his girl. She would always be in his heart and in his life. He'd never let her go.
He could never find another like her.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For those who read Izzy's story, House of a Living Hell, please forgive me and him as his grounding has turned into a month. Izzy, and our 12 year old brother, and our 17 year old brother pulled the WORST prank ever! Let's just say, I'm so mad that I have:
-Monday, I've arranged for the internet to get disconnected (I'll go to Starbucks to use internet),
-ALL of our TV's are going to storage for one month on Monday
-all laptops and computers will be taken to my fiancée's house (since he's moving in, in a month), I'm keeping my laptop with me everywhere I go so they don't get on – that starts in the morning
-I took away their "iPhones" and put the Sim Cards into their old phones that have no internet usage, no text messaging, and limited minutes. –that started today
-And the list of chores just went max… -that started today
-And all sodas, candy, sweets, and junk food have been thrown out. Only healthy foods are left. (some homeless guy is going to be happy) – that started today
-they'll be staying with my fiancée or our sisters while I'm working so they don't sneak off. –started today
-the sports they are playing, they are taken out of – started today, when they didn't go to their games (I'm pissed because I already paid for their uniforms and stuff)
-On their spring break, they are staying home and doing ABSOLUTELY nothing, except watching/babysitting my son :)
oh, oh, ho, no...you do NOT do something and expect to get away with it when I AM in charge! ANYWAYS, I'm sorry, but Izzy's story will not be updated. I'm sorry, but that's part of his punishment. Jeez…now I know what my mom went through when I broke the rules back in High School…poor woman. R.I.P mother..right now, I'm wishing I was resting in peace :) JUST KIDDING! Don't panic. I'm not dying any time soon.
