Chapter Three
The weekend came and went by so fast. One minute it was Friday and then the next it was Monday. It was the beginning of a new week and I was feeling very befuddled about everything.
Beck's party took place on Sunday, which I thought was unwise, because who wants to be hung-over on a Monday? I didn't drink anything at the party, so thankfully, I wasn't feeling as bad as everyone else. People in the hallways looked like extras from The Walking Dead; they all looked lifeless and drained.
It must have been about three in the morning, when the party finally ended. Judging by the way everyone looks, I'm guessing everyone only had three hours of sleep. They look so exhausted and sluggish. Honestly, I'm surprised that they all came to school. You would think that everyone would stay home after being at a huge party, but no. These people show up at school hung-over.
I am so glad I went home early. If I hadn't I would probably be hung-over just like everyone else. I left at nine because I was feeling drowsy and because of what happened upstairs in Beck's room.
Last night at the party, the gang and I were playing a dirty game of truth or dare. It was fun and entertaining, until it was Cat's turn. She chose to a dare and all she had to do was kiss the hottest person in the room.
It was her own decision to make and I would have bet money on it, that she was going to kiss Beck. If I had done that, I would have lost all of my money because she didn't kiss him. I really thought that she was going to do it, but no, she kissed me instead.
I know it sounds insane, but only because Cat never showed any signs that she like me. That is why I feel so confused. She could have kissed Beck, Andre, or even Robbie, but she just had to choose me.
I just can't wrap my finger as to why she would kiss me out of all people. Was she trying to mess with me? If she was, then it's working.
I feel so confused because I don't know why she kissed me and at the same time I feel thrilled because she did. I'm not going to lie, when Cat kissed me I felt a tiny swarm of butterflies fly through my stomach.
I ran away and drove home quickly because I was scared at first. I don't know why I scared, but it doesn't matter anymore. This time I'm not scared, after last night, I know in my heart that I do like Cat a lot.
I enjoyed the kiss we shared, even though it came by surprise and was brought upon by a dare. That kiss made me feel content and happy and I would love to do it again. But I still have no idea why she did it and I don't know if she enjoyed it as much as I did.
There's only one way to find out if she did. I have to ask here. I'm at my locker getting my things and I'm waiting for Cat. It's almost time for first period to start and she's still not her yet. I'm a little worried; she's usually early, but today must be different.
What if she stayed home because she has a huge nasty hangover? If she does, then that's not good because I desperately need to talk to her.
I look away from Cat's locker and see Beck at his. Maybe he knows where she is. I walk toward him and I see that he looks like he is deteriorating. He has shades on to shelter his eyes from the bright lights and his head is resting at the bottom of his locker.
His clothes are wrinkled and his hair is in desperate need of shampoo. I am shocked to say that, for once, Beck doesn't look attractive at all.
"Hey Beck, I need to talk to Cat? Do you know where she is?" I ask him and he lifts his head up. He looks at me with confusion plastered all over his face and he rubs his eyes in pain.
"Why are you talking so loud? Please stop, my head is killing me," he says, sounding sluggish. I roll my eyes and speak in soft voice so he can understand me.
"I'm sorry Beck. Can you just tell me where Cat is?" I ask, in a soft low voice.
"Yeah, she's in the bathroom."
"Thanks," I say and I pat him on his back. He puts his heads back down in his locker and I go inside the girl's bathroom.
I walk in and see that Cat is putting on makeup, which is a waste because a girl like her doesn't need it at all. She's wearing blue shorts that stop just below her knees and a pink tank top. I look at her and she looks at me with a smile on her face.
"Hey Tori!" She says and I smile back.
"Hi Cat….can I talk to you about something?" I ask, nervously. I was a little scared to be bringing this topic up, but I just had to do it.
"Yeah sure, what do you want to talk about?" She says and I glance down at the bathroom stalls to make sure that no one else was here.
"I want to talk about what happened last night at Beck's party," I say, and she nods her head, waiting for me to continue. "Well I want to know why you did what you did when we were playing truth or dare," I say, hoping she understands what I'm trying to say.
"I'm sorry Tori, but I have no idea what you're talking about," she says, with a confused expression on her face.
"Oh c'mon, you know what I'm talking about. Remember we were all playing truth or dare and then it was your turn to pick. You chose to do a dare and all you had to do was kiss the hottest person in the room," I explain.
"And who did I kiss?" She asks and I look at her like she just pushed a baby off a cliff.
"Me, you kissed me Cat and all week I've been trying to figure out why you did it," I say and Cat just looks even more confused. "Why'd you do it?" I ask and it feels like I've been dying to know the answer to the question.
"Honestly Tori, I had a lot of drinks and I don't remember anything that happened last night," she says and disappointment takes over my body.
"You mean you honestly don't remember anything?" I ask, just to be sure.
"I'm sorry Tori, I really don't remember," she says.
"No…it's okay I understand. Everybody was drunk last night, it's no surprise you don't remember," I say, with a weak smile.
"Yeah, that party was really crazy. You should have stayed," she says with a laugh. I put on a fake smile and Cat turns to walk out the door. Before she walks out the door, she turns around and looks at me.
"Oh and if I did kiss you like you said I did, then I'm sorry. I was drunk and it didn't mean anything so you don't have to worry," she says with a smile.
She walks out the door after that and I stay behind. Once Cat is gone, I start to cry. I should be thrilled and relieved that my best friend doesn't have any romantic feelings for me, but I'm not. I feel very dejected. My heart feels like it's being torn apart into tiny little pieces because the kiss that made me feel so wonderful, didn't mean anything to Cat.
It was only the alcohol talking. Cat didn't kiss me because she liked me. She kissed me because she was drunk and high. She even said it herself, that kiss only happened because she was drunk. It didn't mean anything to her, it was just a meaningless action inspired by alcohol.
