Ugh, what time is it? It's only 11 AM? I feel like I slept much longer than that. It's nice to be able to sleep in though, weekends are great. Especially since I don't have to see all the people I dislike at school. Except for today, because I told everyone I would go to the movies with them. I can't believe I agreed to do this.

I hear my phone beep next to me. I have two texts, one from Tori and one from Cat.

"Hi guys! Let's meet at the movie theater next to the record store. The one we got kicked out of last month because Rex was being inappropriate. Be there at six!"

I don't bother replying to Tori, I move on to Cat's text.

"Good morning sleepy head! Wake up!"

"Morning"

"You're awake, yay! Let's go get some food before we go to the movies with everyone."

"Isn't it a little early?"

"Well I didn't mean now and you take forever to get ready, by the time you finish we will be hungry." I wish I could get mad at her for saying that, but its true.

"Alright, I'll go get you in a bit."

"Okay :D"

I don't see a point in going to the movies with everyone today, the rest of the week was pretty normal and Beck and I haven't been that awkward anymore. Whatever, maybe this won't be so bad though and I don't have any other plans besides lunch with Cat.

A few hours later I get to Cat's house. I text her and let her know I'm here.

"I'm here."

"Will you come in? I have a problem. The doors unlocked."

"Okay."

I get out of my car, wondering what her problem could be. It's Cat so it could literally be anything.

I open the door to her house and walk towards her room. Her room is so pink and bright, its full of flowery things and vibrant colors. I always I feel like I should have worn sunglasses to go into her room. I see Cat in the corner of the room, with her pants at her ankles and a worried face on.

"Uh shit, sorry Cat!" I turn around facing the other direction. I don't think I've ever seen so much of her.

"No its okay! Jade help me, my mom put my jeans in the dryer too long and now I can't get them on!"

I let out a hearty laugh. "Maybe you should lay off the ice cream."

"WHATS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?" she yells offended.

"I'm just kidding! Here, let's try to pull them up."

I kneel down in front of her. It made me a little nervous to be near her in this way. Nervous isn't an emotion I feel often, but to see Cat with her pants down right in front of me was something I wasn't exactly mentally prepared for. I've never noticed how tan and nice her legs are. Okay, maybe I have noticed before but I've never seen them like this. Her underwear were almost lined up right with my face. I almost couldn't help staring, I hope she didn't notice. They have little ice cream cones all over them and an ice cream cone button, how appropriate. I snap out of it and grab hold of the jeans. I need to stop being such a pervert, It's Cat! I can't be perving around for a girl, and not just any girl! CAT!

I try to pull the pants up, which turns out to be harder than I thought.

"Jesus, what did your mom do to these? They're tiny!"

"The dryer was broken and my brother said he fixed it but I don't think it's fixed after all!"

"Okay, I'm going to stand up really fast and pull the pants up, ready?"

"Ready!"

I jerk up suddenly and pull the pants along with me, for a second I almost thought it worked but then..

...rriiiiiiiiiiipppppp...

"What was that!" Cat said nervously

"Um... They ripped...Your pants ripped."

She started giggling uncontrollably "Hah! Like in Spongebob!"

"Let's find you some other pants.."

We find her another pair of pants, ones which weren't shrunk to fit a five year old. Except this time I didn't help her get into them. I wasn't sure if that was a good or a bad thing for me.

"I'm hungry!" she says with a little frustration.

"Alright, let's go get something to eat. Where do you want to go?"

"Sandwich Shack!"

"Okay"

We get in my car and Cat turns on the radio, she plays some poppy song and starts singing along to it. Normally I would never let anyone touch or change my car radio but I don't mind if she does it, I love hearing her sing. It's no secret Cat has a beautiful singing voice, I usually sing right along with her even if I hate the song.

We finally get to the restaurant, getting food before the movie was a good idea. I'm actually starving. We sit in a booth and Cat takes a seat next to me. She grabs the menu and excitedly ponders over what sandwich she should choose.

"Oh I think I'll get a turkey avocado! No I want a veggie sandwich. No I want turkey avocado!"

"Cat you're gonna have to make up your mind before the waiter comes."

"I know what I want, I want turkey avocado."

"Okay."

The waitress comes with a friendly smile on her face. "Hi can I take your drink orders?"

"Can I have lemonade?" Cat asks.

"Sure, one lemonade. For you?"

"I'll take some water." I told her.

"Alright I'll be back in a few with your drinks and to take your orders."

"What do you think we're gonna watch tonight?" Cat curiously asks.

"I don't know hopefully not something terrible."

"I wanna watch Romance Beach 2." Oh no, anything but that seriously id rather watch anything but that.

"Cat that movie looks terrible."

"It's so romantic though!"

"It's sappy and cliché, none of those things happen in real life."

"Aww, come on Jade. Don't you like a little romance?" she cuddled up to my shoulder and rested her head on it, holding my arm with her hand. My heart jumped up to my throat at that moment, feeling her that close to me sent a heat wave through my whole body.

"You guys are an adorable couple! Anyway, what can I get you guys?" the waitress asked with a friendly smile.

Did she just- what?

"Haha oh Jade you're blushing! Can I have an avocado turkey sandwich?"

The waitress thinks we're a couple?

"Okay what about you?"

Why would she say that? Oh my god, do I look like a lesbian? Wait, how does someone look like a lesbian? Oh my god why would she say that? What the fuck?

"Jaaaaade? Hello? She asked you what you want."

"I uh, that I want that too."

"Alright... I'll be right back with those sandwiches." The waitress says a little confused.

Who is she to assume anything anyway! What's her problem!

"Jade? Whats wrong? Did it really bother you that much that she thought we were a couple?"

"N-no it was just weird"

"It was funny!" she said it as she giggled.

"Yeah hilarious."

"Maybe if we tell her its our anniversary we can get free dessert!" she says jokingly.

She sat there and smiled at me for a while. The waitress' comments didn't even phase her, why? I think...I think the comments bothered me because... I...

"Hey ladies! Here are your sandwiches! Enjoy your food!" cuts in the waitress.

"Thanks!" Cat squeaks, immediately taking a bite from her sandwich.

I like Cat. There, I'm admitting it. I like Cat. I would very much like that girl's assumption to be true. God damn it.

"Yum! Jade aren't you gonna eat?"

"I..Yeah."

I take a bite of my sandwich, I don't feel as hungry as I was before. How could this happen? When did I start liking Cat? When did I start liking girls? I don't think you just start liking girls. Is this why I couldn't be with Beck anymore? Was it because I like girls or because I like Cat? I'm asking myself questions I can't even answer! I thought being gay was something that happened to other people, I never thought I'd be gay. I always thought I was normal looking at girl's this way. Maybe I should be wondering why It's Cat I have a crush on, but that's the one thing I understand. She makes me feel good, she makes me feel like I have no worries when I'm with her. She's more than everyone sees, like what a great conversationalist she is, or how kind she is. I don't think its weird that I like Cat, I think its weird I like a girl. I can't believe I realized I might be gay through a dumb waitress' comments while eating a sandwich, that's the dumbest way to discover anything about yourself. Maybe it's the small things that make you realize the big things though.

Cat finishes her sandwich hurriedly.

"Let's not be late!" she says frantically. Maybe I should have eaten slower to be late.

"Alright, let's go then" I tell her dreading it.

"Okay, I'll let Tori know we're on our way."

We pay for our food and I leave the waitress a bigger tip than id usually leave, I guess I have to thank her for making me realize I'm a big fat homo. Even if she is a presumptuous bitch.

We arrive at the theater where everyone is waiting for us at the front.

"Hi Tori, hi Beck, hi Andre, hi Robbie!...and Rex!" Cat greets everyone as she hugs them.

"Hi" I say to everyone dryly.

"Hey Jade, hey little red! You guys ready for the movie?" Asks Andre.

"Yeah it's been the highlight of my whole life." I tell Andre.

"What are we gonna watch?" Asks Tori looking at all of us.

"Don't look at me, I'm not choosing." Beck tells her.

"Oh! Rex and I have been wanting to watch the live action Boogie Bear movie!" Robbie spurts out.

Almost simultaneously everyone yells "NO!"

I would have suggested we go see that new horror movie everyone's been talking about, but I know Cat doesn't like horror movies. They scare her and I wouldn't want her to stay up all night because she's still terrified from the movie.

"I wanna see Romance Beach 2!" Cat yells at everyone.

"If I wanted to see that much drama I'd just hang out with you people more often" Says Robbie's puppet.

"Oh come on I think it looks cute!" says Tori.

"Let's just watch it then" I cut in.

"Wow Jade, I never thought you'd wanna see that kinda movie." says Beck looking at me confused.

"Yeah, has someone gotten into romance lately?" says Tori laughing.

"Shut up let's just get the tickets." I tell them annoyed.

"Yay! Romance Beach 2!" squeals Cat.

We buy the tickets and everyone walks toward the room where the movie is playing.

"Jade, can we buy some candy?" Cat asks me shyly.

"Yeah sure."

We tell everyone we would meet them in the theater. Cat interlocks her arm with mine and pulls me toward the concessions.

"Ooh, everything looks so good. Can I have twizzlers and... and sour patch kids?"

The guy wearing a stupid uniform hands her the candy. Before Cat is able to pull her money out I had already given the guy cash.

"Aw thanks Jade!"

"Yeah no problem." What a fucking romantic I am. But seriously Cat eats so much candy that it must burn a hole in her pocket, so I figured I'd help her out.

We walk into the theater, we see Andre waving to us from a seat in the back. We go up the dimly lit stairs and squeeze in between the seats to reach our destination.

"S'cuse me! Sorry! S'cuse me!" Says Cat to all the people we pass. I see guy she passes staring at her ass. I quickly glare at him and "accidentally" step on his foot with my heel.

"Oh Sorry! Silly me!" I tell him as he grabs his foot in pain.

We reach the seats where everyone's sitting. I take a seat next to Andre and Cat sits on the other side of me. Tori is sitting between Andre and Beck whilst Robbie and his toy are next to Beck. Of course Vega is sitting next to Beck.

Andre turns his head towards me and whispers. "This is gonna be terrible." I nod my head in solidarity with his statement. "Why did you agree to watch this anyway?" He asks.

"Cat wanted to see it" I whisper back.

"I see..." He says raising an eyebrow. What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Whatever.

"Oh oh! The movie's starting!" Says Cat, popping one of her twizzlers in her mouth as she offers everyone some of the candy.

The movie begins on some beach with two idiots who met at that same beach a year ago and miraculously meet again. This is going to be awful.

"John! You can never leave me again! We can move to this beach if we have to, but our love can never be torn once again. I won't allow it!" I gag at the opening line and Andre begins to giggle.

Cat turns around and grabs hold of my hand as she whispers "That's so sweet! They're gonna live on the beach, how romantic." Normally I think nothing of her grabbing me like that, I know she gets swept up in emotions often. Even though I'm used to her touching me I'm not used to how it makes me feel. I get shivers all over my body and the contact with her drives me crazy. I never stop her, it feels too good and too right. I love that she wanted to take hold of me while watching some romance film, I could imagine in my head that she wanted me to be that person in the movie for her. Feeling her touch me like I realize, I have to tell Cat about all of this. Even if she rejects me, it's better than acting like a scared middle schooler with a crush. No one else can know though, Andre looked at me looking at Cat's hand grasp mine and raised his eyebrow again with a smile.

"What?" I whisper to him.

"Mhhhm." he says in a sassy tone. What up with that? What is with him? Does he know I like Cat? How could he possibly know. He's probably just joking around.

We get to the end of the movie finally, with Cat cuddling up to me and grabbing me at every cheesy moment and Andre smiling at me when she does. The movie was terrible as I expected, I think it made me lose my gag reflex. At least Cat held my hand through most of it, which helped me miss a lot of the movie. We all leave the theater and say bye to each other, Beck and Tori leaving together of course. Andre is still talking with Cat and I though. I sense this as the perfect opportunity to have my talk with Cat.

"Cat, do you wanna spend the night?"

"Yeah!" she answers vividly.

"Heh heh, you two have fun now. Bye little red, bye Jade." Andre says, winking at me. What was that wink? Stupid Andre.
