Ta da! I'm bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkk!
I am dying to finish this! I've abandoned my original plan and have decided to write whatever comes to mind. * grips favorite black leather jacket (that looks remarkably like Jamie's) and takes a deep breath* Here we go....
The Dance-Part 5
Catie made her way back to her locker and threw her books inside. 'One down, one to go' she thought. 'You mean 2 to go' that stupid voice in her head told her, 'what if Jamie's changed his mind?' Catie responded, 'shut up, he wouldn't do that.' 'Yeah right, how do you know' she heard. Catie noticed Val opening her locker.
"Hey, I'm really sorry about what I said. I just meant tha-" she was soon cut off.
"No, Val, that's okay. I know what you meant. And... I'm not going to the dance with Travis." Catie told her trying not to look Val in the eye.
"What? Why not???!" Val was completely shocked out of her brain.
"Because I'd rather go with Jamie, duh" Catie retorted with a smirk.
"Oh" Val didn't know what else to say. "That is your decision", she added after a few seconds.
"Thanks for understanding, now all I need to do is find Jamie."
"You mean you haven't talk to him yet?" Val questioned.
Catie left without another word figuring that Val would get the point. She scanned the hall for a tall, hot guy with spiked hair and a black leather jacket. She found him at his locker with his history book in hand. "Uh, hi." She greeted him nervously.
Jamie looked up, bewildered for a second. "Hey." Then he put his book back in his locker.
"Um, I guess we need to talk." Catie told him, her eyes full of worry.
"Yeah, I guess we do"
But before either of them could say anything the first bell rang signaling everyone to get to there homerooms.
"Gotta go" Jamie told her.
"Yeah" Catie replied.
Jamie picked up his stuff and headed in the opposite direction as Catie since their homerooms were different. 'Stupid. You have to talk to her and fast.' Jamie yelled at himself mentally and shaking his head. As he took his seat he realized that he wouldn't be able to see Catie till lunch. He was already having a bad day.
Catie slid into her seat thinking of a new way to approach Jamie. She figured she'd wait until lunch to even look for him, since she would barely have enough time to get her books between classes.
At Lunch:
Catie sat outside under a tree waiting to see if Jamie would come up to her. And sure enough...
"Hey Catie"
"Hey" Catie took a deep breath. "About the dance" she started. But she was interrupted by the sound of Jamie's pager.
Jamie practically jumped from the shock and checked the number. "Uh-oh, it's my mom" he announced looking into Catie's eyes waiting for a reaction.
"You better call her back, right away, you never know it could be about Molly or Sami." She told him looking down at the grass.
"okay, yeah, I'll be right back." And with that Jamie reluctantly headed for the pay phones inside the school building. Jamie dialed his home phone number hoping that nothing serious had happened, but wishing he could just ignore the call. "hello,Jamie?"
his mom answered.
"It's me" he told her
"Oh, honey I'm so sorry, your boss, Alex called and told me to tell you that you're on the on-call list tonight and that he really needs you there. I'm sorry, I hope I didn't interrupt anything."
"No, thanks, Mom." Jamie replied. "Love you, bye" Jamie hung up the phone and sighed out of aggravation. Not only was he gonna be at the station all night, but he still hadn't talked to Catie. 'Why me?' he wondered.
Catie had just finished getting her stuff together when the end-of-lunch bell rang. She got up and headed for Spanish realizing she didn't finish her homework, but she didn't seem to care.
"So what happened?" Val asked her when they got to the room.
"Don't even ask" Catie muttered. "I didn't even ask him"
"What, why not?"
"His pager went off" Catie replied dully. Just then the teacher walked in and class started.
At the end of the day Catie went straight home, not bothering to look for Jamie. If he wanted to hear what she had to say he would find her.
A little while after she got home she heard the doorbell ring. She jumped up from the couch praying it would be Jamie. Her prayers had been answered.
"Jamie, hi!" She said, probably sounding a little too happy.
"Hey" he replied.
"Come on in" she let him in and shut the door. "Okay, about the dance." She started.
"Yeah?" Jamie asked his eyes getting wide.
"You aren't going with anyone are you? Cause I was thinking, that, uh, um, we could go together?"
"No" Jamie blurted out. "I mean, no, I'm not going with anyone. And yeah, of course we can go together." Jamie recovered his mistake.
"Great" Catie was so excited.
"Yeah, not to be nosy, but, uh, why aren't you going with what's his face, Trevor, or whatever?" Jamie inquired.
"Oh, uh, something came up." Catie told him. That was the truth. Something DID come up, she wanted to go with Jamie.
"Oh, just wondering" Jamie replied. And as soon as he said that, his pager went off again. "Well, gotta go, that's Alex. I'm on-call tonight and I'm kinda late."
"Oh sorry, don't want to keep you any longer" she told him. 'What a fib. Girl, you want him to stay forever and you know it' the voice was back AGAIN. 'Shut up, he's already late' she told the voice.
Catie led Jamie to the door and watched him walk down the path, get on his bike, and speed away. She didn't go back into the house until she could no longer see him on the street. She then walked slowly inside and shut the door. She sat back down on the couch and a huge smile crept across her face. She sighed and told herself, "Now ya gotta tell him that you love him"
Told ya I'd get it in. I'm trying to make them longer, but I guess my brain just runs out of ideas! Please R/R I hope you liked it. :)
