I was sitting in 7th period and my friend Illiana was talking to me, trying to pass the time.
"So are you excited about the showcase? You got the third biggest role in the play, you gotta be." She told me, trying to pump me up for the show that starts on Friday, only two days from now.
"Oh yeah, of course I am! It's a big thing, I love having the big roles in the plays, I get to show off how well I can act, compared to what everyone else thinks of me as just a singer." I told her, trying to distract myself from the real issue. "I am a little jealous though that Jade got the lead role, I was really gunning for it, but I guess it wasn't in the cards." I finished telling her.
It sounded rational coming out of my mouth, but in my head I was still fuming over not having the role, and it wasn't so much and I lost it and Jade won it, it's the way Jade's been acting about it. Even though that seems like typical Jade, she's not like that to me, we're best friends, like the sister I never had, she understands me, and I understand her, we're the ultimate Yin and Yang.
We kept talking until the the seventh period bell rang. We walked out together and finished the conversation. After Illiana and I split for the day, I walked towards my locker and dropped my stuff off. I took out all my books from my bag and took all the stuff I needed for dress rehearsal today. Before I was about to close my locker, a pair of hands clamped over my eyes and I heard the person ask.
"Guess who?" He asked, clearly being a guy's voice.
"Ummm, the Easter Bunny?" I asked giggling.
It was the first Cat moment I've had in a few days, it's a lot more fun being my normal self rather than depressed Cat. I turned around to see who had surprised me.
"David! What what are you doing here? I told you we were going to see each other this weekend! What if Danny comes here too?" I scolded him.
I like surprises just as much as the next girl, especially from my boyfriend, but when I'm trying to juggle two at once, surprises can be a lot more dangerous.
"David, it's great to see you and all, but you got to go, I have dress rehearsal, my friends are around, and Danny could be here to watch." I told him.
"I know you've told me before babe, but I needed to see you. It's been too long since I've seen that beautiful face of yours." He told me, sweet talking me, and I'm a huge sucker for sweet talk. "Even if it's for a few minutes, I just wanted to see you." He told me as he leaned in for a kiss. I went with it for a few seconds until my head and David's fell into my locker that was still open. "Oh shit, I'm sorry about that Cat." He told me as he picked up the books that fell from the mess and put them back in my locker.
"Thanks babe for helping me out, but I gotta go, and I don't want the other people at school to start getting suspicious about me. I'll see you this weekend." I told him with a quick kiss. "I'll talk to you after the play is over." I said to him as he walked away.
After David left I took my clothes back out and walked to the theater hoping no one saw David and I together, I looked over my shoulders a few times and walked into the theater cool, calm and collected. I may not have the leading role, but I'm going to kill the performance I have to show why I should have gotten it. I walked past all the people who were already dressed when I heard Sikowiz. "Ah Cat, you're finally here, go and get dressed we're starting in ten minutes!" He told me as I passed him. I hurried a bit more onto backstage and the girls changing room.
As I was changing I heard the door open, but I didn't check who it was cause I needed to get ready, and I don't think a guy would walk into the girls changing room, not even Sinjin would do something that creepy! I continued putting on my costume when I heard a voice from behind me.
"So who was that guy you were making out with, Cat?" She asked. I froze and nearly fell over, catching myself on the railing I was near. I turned around and looked over the curtain and saw Jade and sighed a breath of relief. I thought it was someone else and I was going to have to explain.
"Oh hey Jade, you scared me!" I screeched at her still a bit shaken. "Oh David surprised me with a visit after school. I talked to him for a bit, but told him he had to go cause I was busy. How'd you see us anyway? I didn't see anyone in the hallway." I told her, a bit confused while I finished getting dressed.
"Oh I was near the stairs when you guys talking and I guess you didn't notice me, I was on my way here anyway so I just kept walking when I noticed you two were kissing and that it wasn't Danny, so I was just curious. Don't worry, I'm not going to tell anyone, we're best friends aren't we? Why would I want to rat out my best friend?" She asked me. I felt relieved after that, I knew she wouldn't but I was still a little spooked. Though she did give me a smile that was evil, but that's just Jade.
"Oh no, of course not I didn't think that at all, I was just a little spooked someone called me out on it, I thought it was another girl and I had to explain it, and I really didn't want to. Thanks for having my back Jadey, have fun out there, break a leg." I giggled as she walked away. I came out from the curtain, satisfied with what I was wearing and walked back onto the stage to meet up with everyone else who was already ready.
"Ah Cat, great of you to finally join us! Now get in your places everyone, we have a play to practice!" Sikowitz yelled through his megaphone.
Three hours later, we got through the whole play with very few mistakes, most of the time was spent on us redoing whole scenes that we barely messed up, but overall it went really well. Everyone did a really good job. Beck and Jade had great chemistry together as the two leads, but that was only natural, though she didn't do as good as a job as I would have done.
We all walked out as a group from the theater and all went to our lockers to get the last of our stuff. "You did a great job up there lil' Red, I think you were the only one to not mess up their lines the whole time." Andre pointed out as he closed his locker and played a few notes on his keyboard that was on his locker.
"She was alright." Jade said in her usual tone. She smirked at me before she closed her locker and walked over to Beck.
"WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?" I shrieked at her, obviously pretty pissed at her comment.
"Oh nothing, don't worry about it Cat, it wasn't as good as you making out with your boyfriend earlier today." She said to me stone faced, like she didn't care. At least she didn't say it was David, I don't wanna tell everyone what's going on.
"Danny was here? I haven't seen him." Tori said leaning on Andre.
"Oh, yeah ahaha, he came here to say good luck on the dress rehearsal, and then left right after, he said that he was working on a project at school and couldn't make it today." I told Tori, lying trough my teeth, trying to catch the grenade that Jade threw my way just now. I picked up all my stuff from my locker and slammed it shut and shot Jade a death glare before I left.
I could hear Rex say something before I left. "What's her problem?" He said, I didn't bother to respond, I just kept walking to my car. I opened it and threw my stuff in and drove home. After I got home I saw that dinner was already on the table for me. I went up stairs and put my stuff away and came back down to eat. I saw my mom and dad cleaning up together.
"Mommy, Daddy, are you two going to be there Friday night for the play?" I asked between bites of my meal.
"Of course cupcake, we wouldn't miss it for the world." My dad said, drying off a pan. "I made sure to not work then so you won't have to worry about me."
"Of course, you don't even need to ask that, we'll be there on time. Don't worry about us sweetie." My mom told, me it made me a little happier.
I finished my dinner, cleaned my plate and headed up the stairs to get ready for sleep.
I looked at my bed and saw my phone flashing with two texts, one from both Danny and David. They both said the same thing. Good luck Friday beautiful, can't wait to see you. They said, which made me laugh, but also think how weird it is they said the exact same thing. I forgot about and went in to brush my teeth and take off my make up. I was still pissed at Jade, she almost blabbed to everyone about David, she's been really weird since she got the role, she's being a lot bitchier than normal. I thought about it for a second more pushed it to the back of my mind. I had other things to worry about.
I went to plop down on the bed to go to bed when I see a text from Jade. After party at my house to celebrate the play. I smiled a bit, that should be fun. I put my head on the pillow and fell asleep instantly, waiting for Friday to come.
AN: I know the play happened really quickly, but I didn't want to skip a bunch of days so, just imagine it being like 3 months later. Also sorry about the long time in between updates, I've kinda been distracted with everything that has been going on at home. Next chapter is going to go right to Friday, so basically the play and the party, and next chapter, I'm pretty sure none of y'all are gonna expect what happens. Leave me more reviews so the next chapter comes faster.
