(note: sorry the chapter is a bit on the short side, but since the first one is pretty long you can forgive me right? I plan on making the next ones longer so don't worry.)

You know what? Fuck it, I don't care if its going to be awkward or not they're still my friends... Well, besides Vega over there. In fact, lets add Robbie and Trina to the not my friends list.

Cat glances over at me "I'm going to get a soda, do you want one?"

"Yeah sure, get me whatever you get."

"Okay!"

Crap, why did she have to make me go and sit down alone? Not that I can't handle it, but it might help. I walk over to the table and set my burrito down. Andre, Tori and Beck try to avoid eye contact with me. Okay, this can't stay like this, it's too weird.

"So can we all act normal without it being awkward, or am I gonna have to find a new clique of idiots?"

Andre slips out a laugh. I like Andre, he's one of the few people I can tolerate, and it doesn't hurt he laughs at my comments.

Robbie suddenly joins the table. Appearing almost magically out of nowhere, holding his stupid puppet as usual and adds "Hey! I'm not an idiot!"

"Alright, a new clique of idiots and a freak." I tell him.

"Hey come over here and I'll show you freaky, girl." Says Robbie's stupid puppet with an attitude. Gross, even Tori cringes at "Rex's" comment. I swear if I didn't think Robbie was mentally challenged, I would have socked him in his stupid face a long time ago. Even then it would be like kicking a kitten though.

Beck sighs, "She's right though, let's just get over it and move on. Besides, this has nothing to do with anyone else." I'm glad I was right about him being mature, this could have gone much worse. Tori agrees with him and sends me a smile across the table, even though I couldn't care less for her approval.

"Yes, let's all get over it." I tell them.

Cat comes running over at the seemingly perfect moment to break the silence and yells "OH MY GOD! They sell grape juice in the soda machines now!" and squeaks out some shrill noise I can only decipher as pure bliss from her. She hands me one of the cans of grape juice and sits down next to me, looking joyously at all of us. She wasn't even worried about the problems between Beck and I. She must have known everything would be okay, sometimes I think she has a sixth sense for feelings. Either that, or she completely forgot about the break-up with all the excitement about the grape juice and all.

"Hey, I have an idea. Why don't we all go to the movies together this weekend! I think it's what we all need so we can all move on and be friends again." says Tori, acting like she just figured out world peace. Everyone starts agreeing with her.

"Really? Do I have to do this?" I tell them agitated.

"Aww come on Jade, It's gonna be so fun!" says Cat with pleading eyes. God, why does she have to look at me like that?

"Fine." I tell them.

Shit, this is gonna be so lame. I really don't want to spend more time than I have to with these people, but Cat and Andre are going too so it should be bearable. Plus, maybe it WILL help to make things normal again.

Tori cuts in and enthusiastically says "Cool, I'll text you all on Saturday so we can meet up. "

Usually after school I take Cat home. Today is no different except for the fact that once I got to her house she didn't just tell me thanks and that she would text me later.

"Jade, are you okay?"

"Why wouldn't I be? I told you I'm fine not being with Beck."

"No not about Beck, you just seem.. spacey lately."

Of all people, Cat calling ME spacey. What is she noticing though? Also, why did she assume I was fine about Beck? Is it her keen eye for feelings again or does she just not care?

"I'm fine Cat."

"Why have you been so nice?"

"I'm not nicer!"

"Well nicer to me!"

"I don't know.. you're my friend, I like you why shouldn't I be nice?"

"Okay." she reached over from her seat in the car and gave me a hug. I was surprised by it, I was a little stiff while I wrapped my arms around her. It felt good though, Cat is a great hugger. I've never been hugged the way Cat hugs me. She puts all her being into her hugs, she fully immerses herself into you. She pulled back and gave me one of her smiles. This smile was different though, her eyes and her smirk seemed to tell me she knew something I didn't.
