Hey! I'm going to write one last chapter before I go!

Ch 8

Cat had waited for an hour and finally gave up waiting for Beth. She decided that he was now going to listen to her Green Day c.d. when se realized that she didn't have it.

" I want to go back home!" She groaned.

Then she heard voices outside her door and pressed her ear t the heavy wooden barrier. She could make out the voices of Elizabeth and O'Hara.

'Um thank you for the tour General'

'Your welcome Miss Braden,'

Cat laughed to her self and continued listening.

'Please General it's Elizabeth.'

'Charles, you can call me Charles.'

'Very well then, I must get back to Catherine.'

'I would like to ask you to dinner tonight,'

'Eww!' Cat thought. She was already on a first name basis? And now he had asked her to dinner.

'I should like that'

She finished talking to him and suddenly the door swung open. Cat had sprung back to her seat with an elegant quickness, which had earned her the nickname. It had just fit her name and her ability to act well, like a Cat.

Elizabeth stepped in the room and smirked at Cat.

" Cat I know you were listening." She said.

Cat looked up from the book she was holding upside-down.

" What? I wasn't listening!" She exclaimed.

Elizabeth stepped over to her and flipped the book around.

" Sure."

" Fine, I was only listening because I care about you and I don't like, Charles."

Cat said sarcastically.

" Listen, what goes on between me and Charles is none of your business." Elizabeth snapped.

" Wanna bet?" Cat asked getting up.

" No, so just keep your ears to yourself." Elizabeth snapped angrily.

" What happened to 'Best Friends Forever'?" Cat demanded.

" Well I guess one of the friends had to go and ruin it." Elizabeth hissed.

" Alright then, good luck." Cat said sarcastically.

" Hey, don't get mad at me because you can't commit to one guy!"

Cat looked up sharply.

" And the fact that you have bitter feelings because your boyfriend asked me to the senior prom!" Elizabeth cried.

Cat looked at her tears forming.

" What? That was you! He asked you not Christina?" Cat asked hurt.

Elizabeth immediately wanted to take back everything she had said.

" So did you sleep with him too! Have you been stealing all my boyfriends from me? Are you the reason I don't have a boyfriend?" Cat demanded.

" Cat I-I" Beth started feeling completely horrible.

" I Hate You, just get out okay!" Cat yelled tears streaming down her face.

Elizabeth stood there wanting to tell her how sorry she was.

" GET OUT!" Cat screamed shoving her out and slamming the door in her face.

Elizabeth looked down and slowly walked away. Cat looked out the window and broke down. She couldn't believe it was Elizabeth Mark had asked to the prom. While she was at home cursing Christina Abbot her best friend was with her boyfriend.

" I'll never forgive her for this." Cat vowed.

She looked at the hills in the distance and saw a bunch of red and green coats in the back.

" Maybe I can survive here." She thought while her thoughts gently drifted to the Colonel.
