Introducing the Kitty cat! I've always had a special interest in Kitty and her ingenious insults. I know my Kitty doesn't do the real Kitty justice, but I just have to put her in!

CHAPTER SEVEN

"Gina!"

Gina turns around and finds Marley beaming at her. Jake trails along behind her, and just the sight of him is enough to make Gina blush.

"You were amazing yesterday!" Marley grins. "You are so talented! It was amazing, the whole thing, just… amazing. Ryder too. Where is he today? You both did such a wonderful job on the duet!"

"Thanks, Marley," Gina says, feeling a little bubbly inside. Marley is like this ray of sunshine that makes people can't help but smile whenever she's around. Marley is truly a sweet, kind, and caring person, and Gina can't help but feel guilty whenever she remembers that she has a crush on her boyfriend.

"Um, you, um, did great," Jake says awkwardly, and Gina's heart beats faster. "It was… great."

"Thanks, Jake," is all Gina can muster out of her pathetic self.

"You should do another performance at Glee club, ASAP," Marley says. "I can't wait to see you perform again!"

"Looks like someone is enjoying her newly found glory," a sarcastic voice suddenly drops in. Marley and Jake part to make way for Kitty, in her blond ponytail, full Cheerios costume, and manicured hands on her slender hips. She has that smirk on, the one she uses whenever she wants to abuse someone verbally – the one she has on her face almost all the time. "I was wondering when you will finally come out of the closet, what with you being the lead singer of your anonymous choir group back in China."

"Leave her alone, Kitty," Ryder suddenly appears next to Gina. He glares at Kitty, who raises her eyebrows at him. "You've done enough damage to everyone on Glee club. Gina doesn't need your friendly welcome."

"Typical Bieber-hair, defending the weak, the lame, and… the small. Sweet heavens, don't they feed you bamboo sticks in China at all? I'm pretty sure a baby panda has a bigger ass than you do. Have you ever heard of steroids?"

"Kitty, enough!" Ryder scolds. "Don't you dare intimidate anyone in this school anymore! Marley was enough! Come on, Gina, let's get out of here."

To everyone's surprise, Gina smiles. She leans on her locker, staring at Kitty with amusement. This confuses Kitty for a second, who frowns and makes a face.

"I was wondering when the bitch of McKinley would finally notice me," she says coolly. "I mean, when you've attracted Kitty Wilde's attention, you've got to be pretty special, right?" Her smile grows bigger. "Ryder had warned me about you, Kitty. You're just a jealous little bitch who can't admit that some people are just better than you. You pretend to be mean but all you are is just an attention whore. So come on, throw me your best insults. I'm all ears." She steps closer to Kitty who, in surprise, staggers back. "Bitch to bitch. Let's see who breaks first."

Kitty is intimidated, Gina can see it in her eyes. But Kitty isn't Kitty if she backs down without a fight. She narrows her eyes, and her stare shoots daggers. "I'm leaving you with a warning, Panda Girl," she says, her voice smooth and dangerous. "Nobody messes with the Kitty Cat. You have made the wrong move, newbie."

Gina lets out a tiny laugh. "That would be my line," she says. "Run along like a good little kitten, then. Run back to Mama."

"If that's how you want to play it, then let's have it your way," Kitty adds. Her face is just inches from Gina's now, and it seems to glow with anger – and humiliation. "I'm giving you a heads-up. With me, you either play dirty, or you'll suffer an unbelievably painful death, starting – with – your – mind."

"Great, can't wait," Gina says, folding her arms in front of her chest. "I guess I'll see you around, Kitty."

"Femme Fatale," Kitty corrects, giving Gina a murderous look. "It means kill women." With that, she turns around and walks away, hands still on her hips, her ponytails swishing around angrily.

The four of them remains silent for a moment.

"Dude," Ryder is the first to break the silence. He looks dumbstruck. "I think you just drove Kitty away."

"An achievement, right?" Gina asks casually.

"Are you kidding? No one's ever scared Kitty away before!" Jake says, his face breaking into a smile. "What are you, the incredible Hulk or something?"

"I'm not sure comparing me to an angry green mutant monster is a compliment, but thank you," Gina says, trying hard not to blush in front of Jake. "I'm not going to let Kitty win over me. I'll show her that she's messing with the wrong girl."

"Come on guys, don't start fighting," Marley says. "We have to stick together for Regionals, remember? Gina, don't mind Kitty. She can be pretty tolerable after you've spent some time with her."

Jake points at Marley with disbelief. "She's kidding, right?" he asks Ryder.

"Come on," Marley hooks her arm around Gina's. "Let's get to class. I think the bell rings in five minutes. Oh, and I'm inviting you to my house after school today. You have to teach me how to dance like you!"

Gina vs Kitty is on! Which bitch would break first, then?

By the way, I just watched Guilty Pleasures, and Jake's performance of My Prerogative was... Sexy. Haha. He's a really good dancer!
