*I DONT OWN THIS SHOW AND THIS IS MY FIRST FANFIC EVER SO IGNORE MY WRITING IF SOMETHINGS OFF THANKS

Tori's POV:

My first period is way to odd when you add all the factors in the room together. Starting with my teacher. He sports everything a teacher shouldn't, contains a humongous bald spot, is always drinking coconut milk and always says things that makes me consider if he gets high on his breaks. The best thing about him is that he never gives homework, he's a great acting teacher, his appearance just says other. But don't judge a book bye it's cover. There are also these weird people in my class who never speak nor act it's only me and my friends that do, another good thing about my first period- all my friends are in there. Beck, Andre, perhaps Rex, Robbie and….Jade? Our relationship is confusing. And the innocent Cat…. speaking over her, it's 8:55AM where is she?

*CREAK*

The door opens and my favorite Red Head walks in. She takes her usual spot next to me and sits down quietly. She looks tired, out of breath and a little scared. I've been worrying about her lately, she doesn't seem like her usual self, bright and bubbly. I can't remember the last time I've seen her in a dress or tutu…

I lean over to ask her if she's ok when our teacher comes in through the window. He's odd like that.

"Good morning Class! I hope everyone had a good weekend! To start Monday off I'll let some of you share while I take attendance! Ok, someone Go!"

Silence.

"Ok! Let's get in to our lesson! Can I get a whoop?!"

Silence.

"Ok! So today we will be faking it! Yes, pun intented from the show if I-do-say-so-myself! Agh, two puns from MTV and Jay Z!"

Silence.

"OK, so today we need to work on our double emotions for acting….. give me Sinjin, Beck and Tor-"

"Ugh Sikowitz?" Beck interrupts

"What?"

"Sinjin's not in this class"

"Sinjin, boy what are you doing in here?!" Sikowitz exclaims.

"I was just seeing if it was true about your hair shedding's being around here." Sinjin says scanning the floor, plastic bag in hand.

Sikowitz picks up a broom from the corner and hits Sinjin, "Boy, Shoo!" He yells, he beats Sinjin out of the room with the broom until Sinjin is out of sight, he closes the door, locks it and huffs.

Usually Cat would have probably laugh her butt off at that scene, but Cat hasn't been very usual lately….

"Anyway class, as I was saying….GIVE ME JADE, BECK AND TORI PLEASE ALL BE IN THIS CLASS"

Jade, I and Beck slowly make our way to the stage.

"Now in this scene Beck, you and Tori will be faking it. Two constant emotions at once! Beck who is Jamie is dating Jade who is Courtney whom are friends with Tori who is Sydney also dating Beck / Jamie."

"Really? Jamie?" Beck asks.

"Oh hush up pretty boii…." Sikowitzs laughs.

After class, I catch up to Cat. She's usually loud in Sikowitz class since he allows her to be, but she wasn't. She hasn't been and that worries me, she's extremely silent but is giving off this loud protest at the same time.

"Hey Cat" I say as I lean against her locker. "Hey" she says, really low. Almost a whisper. "You free this period, we could go to the library?" I ask, "No, I have art" she grabs her box which contains her art supplies and walks off.

What happened to her. This is not ok. I have to find out.

I catch up to her "Hey Cat" I say walking up to her, "You just said that like a minute ago" she replies, geez. "You wanna hang at lunch…sit at the same table..?" I ask. "We always do" she answers. "No…umm well, I meant like we could hang, just me and you at the black box or something…." "I'll see" and with that she storms off.

Maybe it's that special time of the month? Did someone tell her Unicorns and fairies don't exist? Did she find out you really can't walk on a rainbow? Did she find out there's no Lepricon nor pot of gold at the end?

At lunch I take my usual seat next to Andre, who's next to Robbie/Rex, who's next to Jade who next to Beck who sits on the end. Cat isn't here.

"Where's that perky red head?" says Rex out of nowhere. "Rex!" Robbie exclaims, giving Rex a nudge. "Your puppet actually has a point, Cat hasn't really been around lately" says Andre, "He's not a puppet" Robbie mumbles.

"She's been acting awfully strange lately, even stranger than usual. I haven't heard a story about her brother in only god-knows-how-long….but I could get use to it" says Jade, shrugging.

"Well, I did tell her to meet me at the black box….speaking of which, I'd better go" I speed off to the black box.

I see her sitting there, in the corner.

Crying. She's crying.

I rush over to her and lightly shake her shoulders, "Cat? Cat? Are you ok? What's wrong? Speak to me…."

She's silent, except for her tiny breaths- which also come to a stop.

She lifts her head up but turns her back on me as she wipes her face.

"Cat…are you ok?" I put my hand on shoulder.

"DON'T TOUCH ME" She jolts up and smacks my hand away.

What's wrong with her? Cat's the most touchy-feeling person I know. She finally turns around.

"Sorry…"

"That's ok, um, yeah…. it's fine"

She nods, then sniffs.

"What's wrong?"

She stares deep in to my eyes as if she's calling for help, as if she just wants to sit here and tell me everything. As if she wants to tell me….. the truth.

"Well ugh..um…" her eyes scan the floor as if she's searching for a lie.

"Cat…."

"This morning my dad told me to stop acting like such a child….and it just, hurt my feelings….." she says, she almost says it like a question. Yep, she lying. But I don't push her.

"Ok….um, well you know Cat it's not just today you've been acting strange….you know."

"Yeah…I just, I don't know… She starts crying again.

"Cat?"

"Yeah?" I hear through her sniffs.

"You, ugh, wanna stay at my place tonight?"

She shrugs.

"Come on, it will be good for you and me. And then we….we can talk"

"No, I can't. I have work to do" -more sobs.

"So do I, we can work together"

"No thanks" she wipes her face and gets up to leave.

"Wait!" I grab her wrist, a look of panic and fear appears on her face so I quickly let go.

"yeah?.." she sniffs.

"Your dad doesn't verbally abuse you, does he?" Oh shit.

"Umm…well…no. He's just…tired of me being so looney. But…." She loses focus for a quick minute. "….It's not him. I….well…ugh, its hard to explain….just…" She runs out of words. So she runs to.

(Well she didn't run, she walked out the black box)
