Part 6: Caitie's Plan
Rated: PG - PG-13
Disclaimer: I do not own IaHB except for Livvie
Caitie's anger and jealousy surged.
"H-How could Jamie do this to me? H-He knows that I like him!" Caitie said
to herself. She wanted to cry. But if Val saw her cry, Val would know that
something was going on, because Jamie hardly ever cried.
Caitie leaned in to hear some more. Livvie and Jamie's conversation wasn't
even over yet.
"Livvie, I know this isn't such a big deal, but I got something for you."
Jamie said.
"Oh, I'm sure it is a big deal. Don't say that." Livvie said, punching him
playfully in the arm.
"Ok... Um... I've been working around lately around the station, and at houses
for about six months. Before you came here. I finally got enough money to get
you this." Jamie pulled out two tickets to a Michael Jackson concert.
"O-Oh, my gosh! How'd you know that I liked Michael Jackson?!" Livvie shrieked.
"Oh come on... I'm not deaf you know. When I talk to you on the phone, I can
hear Michael Jackson in the background. I also hear Tyler telling you to
turn down the Michael Jackson music." Jamie said, grinning.
"Oh, that's right." Livvie said, giggling.
Caitie pounded on the tree with her fists. Oh, how she didn't like Jamie's
girlfriend for now. What would've been a possibly warm and friendly friendship,
became a competition. For Jamie. And Caitie knew that she would win. Caitie
was going to find a way to break these two couples up.
The first bell rang. Lunch was over.
"Oh, Jamie! Thank you so much!" Livvie exclaimed, pecking Jamie on the
cheek.
"Your welcome. See you after school." Jamie said. The couple exchanged hugs
and separated for their next classes. But as Livvie left, she caught Caitie
behind the tree. Caitie was caught. Livvie knew that she was probably going
to do some evil thing to Jamie. Which would explain why Caitie was talking
about Michael Jackson.
**After School**
"He gave you Michael Jackson tickets?!" Val shrieked as Livvie and Val
walked home together.
"Yes! It's so cool!" Livvie said, less enthusiastic as she should've been.
"Hey... something must be going on. You're not that excited about it." Val
said, concerned.
"It's not the tickets. I mean, who wouldn't love 3rd row tickets?" Livvie asked.
"What is it then?" Val asked, curiously. Livvie took a deep breath.
"Well at lunch, Jamie asked if we can go steady..." Livvie started off.
"You didn't say no, did you?! Is that what's bothering you?!" Val shrieked.
"Val, may I please finish?" Livvie asked.
"Ok. Sorry." Val said.
"Of course I accepted," Livvie said, ignoring Val's shrieks of joy. "but
as we separated for different classes, I saw Caitie behind the tree eavesdropping.
And she didn't look happy. She looked really ticked. And she was muttering
words like competition, and Michael Jackson." Livvie said. Val bit her lip.
She knew something like this was going to happen. And almost always Caitite
gets her way.
"Val...is there anything you need to tell me?" Livvie asked, stopping Val.
"Yes." Val said, slowly dragging onto the 'e'.
"What is it?" Livvie asked.
"Caitie likes Jamie." Val said, looking down. Livvie sighed and sat down
on the steps to her house.
"Man, I knew something like this was going to happen. That's why I'm so
afraid." Livvie confessed.
"Afraid? Of what?" Val asked.
"Well, in New York, I dated my best friend's ex-boyfriend. We were a really
cute couple. Like Jamie, he looked like Keanu Reaves," Livvie took a deep
breath. "when my best friend found out that we were dating, she did the
most unexpected thing." Livvie said, wincing back at the memory.
"What?" Val asked.
"She dressed in tight clothing, short skirts, leather pants, just about
everything to get my boyfriend back. And it worked." By this time, Livvie
was crying softly. Tears trickled down her face. Val hugged Livvie.
"Livvie, I am so sorry." Val said.
"It's alright. He was a jerk." Livvie said. The girls didn't know that Jamie
was about five feet before them, listening to the whole conversation.
"Livvie, I'm going to try and make Caitie forget about this. If she tries
to break you guys up, I'll stop her." Val said.
"Thanks, Val." Livvie said.
"You're a great friend." Jamie said, finally speaking.
"Oh, Jamie! I didn't know you were there!" Livvie said, putting a hand
to her heart. Jamie laughed.
**Inside**
"I saw Val hugging you outside. What's the problem?" Tyler asked taking
a bite out of his hamburger.
"Um...Jamie asked me to go steady with him..." Livvie said.
"That's great! I hope you said yes!" Tyler said.
"Well, duh!" Livvie said, giggling.
"So why were you so upset?" Tyler asked.
"Caitie likes Jamie too. And knowing Caitie..." Livvie trailed off.
"...she'll try and get Jamie." Tyler finished.
"Val said she'll try and do anything to stop Caitie." Livvie said.
"I'll help her too." Tyler said.
"Thanks, Cuz." Livvie said, giving a quick hug to Tyler.
**Next Day**
"Caitie, wait up!" Val said, running up to Caitie.
"Hey, Val!" Caitie said, smiling.
"I just wanted to...oh, my gosh, WHAT are you wearing?!" Val asked.
Caitie was wearing a tight dark blue transparent shirt with ultra-short
shorts, and knee-length boots. Caitie shrugged.
"Just a way to get guys focused on me." She replied.
"Caitie, I can't believe you! You and I both know why you are doing this.
To get Jamie's attraction off Livvie and onto you." Val said, angrily.
"Speaking of Jamie and Liv, I have the perfect plan to break them up."
Caitie said. She rushed into saying it quickly before Val opened her mouth
in protest.
"On Friday, they're going to see Michael Jackson. I'll call up Jamie and
say Livvie felt sick and can't go to the Michael Jackson concert. THEN,
I'll call up Livvie and say that I caught Jamie with another girl." Caitie
said, proudly. Val shook her head and her eyes became slits.
"It'll work out great." Caitie said.
"Caitie, I'm not going to let you do this. I'm going to be watching you
like a hawk today, tomorrow, and Friday." Val said. Caitie rolled her eyes,
and they entered the school.
*Inside the school*
"Hi, Jamie!" Caitie flirted.
"Oh hi, Cai..." Jamie was cut off by Caitie's outrageous outfit. Jamie
couldn't do anythingbut stare.
"Caitie. Please tell me what you are wearing and why." Jamie said.
"Just a little something." Caitie said, smiling. Her smile wore off when
she saw Livvie come in the school with a halter top belly shirt, leather pants,
and also wearing knee-length boots.
"Hi, Livvie! You look very good today." Jamie said, smiling at his girlfriend.
"W-What about me?" Caitie asked.
"Caitie. Let me clear something up with you. Me and Livvie are currently
a couple. You've never dressed this way until Livvie came in the picture.
Livvie dresses like this all the time. It's her style, and might I say,
I love it. So unless you're doing this to change the way you look at your
style, then keep on doing it. But if it's just to tear me and Livvie apart,
it's not going to work." Jamie said firmly. Caitie glared at Jamie for
what seemed like an eternity, then turned on her heel, Val following her
mouthing an "I'm sorry" to Livvie. Livvie knew that the next couple of days
weren't going to be very great.
