It took me a while, but it couldn't be helped. This chapter is a bit on the short side, but I promise to make the next one longer. Thank you for reading!

In the parking lot, Tori watched as Andre entwined his fingers with Jade's and leaned in to give her a swift kiss on the lips. It was impossible to find them apart anymore. They were glued to each other every single minute of every single day. Sighing slightly, Tori turned Cat's way and decided to actually pay attention to whatever the redhead was talking about. She felt a bit guilty to have tuned her out once again, but Tori had a bunch of things on her mind. It turned out that there was no need for her to feel that way after all since Cat was just staring into space, a rare frown on her face. Curious as to what had caused it, Tori waved a hand in front of Cat's face in order to get her attention.
"Cat!" The readhead's eyes focused on Tori after blinking a couple of times and she smiled a small smile that didn't reach her eyes.
"Oh, hey Tori!" she waved back. "When did you get here?" Tori just rolled her eyes.
"What were you thinking about?" she asked.
"Nothing." Cat replied, while twirling a strand of hair in her fingers. For some reason Tori was sure that whatever it was that Cat was thinking must have been of some kind of importance. Getting Cat to frown was not an easy thing to do.
She was about to ask further when she heard Jade's voice coming form right behind her.
"Did you by any chance see my history book?"
Taking a breath, Tori turned around, averting her gaze when it landed on Andre's arm where it was resting on Jade's waist.
"How are we supposed to tell the apart?" she asked, rolling her eyes. "They are all black!" Tori pointed out, causing Andre to chuckle. Jade smiled slightly, shrugging her shoulders.
"I guess you are right." She said and appeared to be about to walk away when Andre whispered something in her ear.
"See you at the Noshu tonight?" asked Jade, her eyes mainly focused on Tori. The latter fidgeted uncomfortably, not sure whether that was a good idea or not.
"I don't know." She mumbled, playing with a bracelet on her wrist.
"You should come." Came Andre's calm voice, as he smiled at her. Sighing in defeat, Tori nodded her head, earning another smile from the boy.
"Hey, Cat! Have you told Beck and Robbie to stop by as well?" he asked. Cat, who was lost once again, appeared to be awaken by the mention of the names and something flickered in her eyes.
"Kay. Bye!" Jade called out, before tugging on Andre's arm, pulling him towards his car. He waved at them, before tightening his grip around his new girlfriend. Tori frowned as that particular word crossed her mind and left her arm drop to her side, after waving their way. She followed the two figures with her eyes for a while longer and then proceeded to turn Cat's way again, only to realize that the redhead was no longer standing beside her. She was walking towards the school entrance, a determined expression plastered on her face.
"Cat, where are you going?" asked Tori, a few steps behind.
"Robbie." Cat replied simply. She was now walking faster. Why does she want to reach Robbie so desperately? Wondered Tori
Cat finally spotted the boy she was looking for by his locker. Robbie was putting some books inside while muttering to himself. He might have been humming a song. It didn't matter. As soon as he closed the locker, he noticed Cat making her way towards him and a smile made its way to his lips.
Robbie waited for her to stop in front of him Cat was practically running his way by then. His eyes widened in realization just a second before Cat collided with him, crashing her lips on his, making them bang into a nearby locker in the process. Robbie was shocked, but soon got himself together and kissed Cat back; bringing her even closer to him, if that was even possible. One could hear the whistles and giggles coming from all around but the two of them just kept going at it.
When they finally pulled apart, Robbie was grinning like a maniac and Cat was blushing a bit , realizing what she had just done. Still in an embrace, she lifted her eyes to look into his and asked in a low voice.
"Will you go out with me?"
"Of course!" replied Robbie, still looking a bit phased, before twirling her around a couple of times, making her giggle furiously.
Four hours later, Cat was laying on her bed, with her computer on her lap, going through new mentions on The . She couldn't keep the smile off of her face. She was more than happy that she and Robbie had gotten together and had already shared her happiness with Jade who had told her that it was about time, before congratulating her on managing the courage to finally get her feelings out there. She had been feeling bad about constantly hurting Robbie, whose feelings towards her had been obvious for quite a while. It was hard to miss it. Even for her.
Cat paused a video that she had been watching, hearing her ringtone from across the room.
My heart's a stereo,
It beats for you so listen close.
Hear my thoughts with every note.
Make me your radio –
Picking it up, she saw Tori's name on the caller ID and smiled hugely. Tori already knew about her and Robbie, since she had entered the school in search for her a few minutes later.
"Hello Tori!" Cat greeted her friend in a cheery tone of voice.
"Hey Cat. Listen, can you come over?" she asked, her voice strained.
"Won't you come to the Noshu later?" Cat asked curious.
"I will. Maybe we can go together from my place. Just come over earlier. It is just that..." Tori hesitated for a second before going on. "I need someone to talk to" her voice cracked slightly.
Cat agreed and started getting dressed. She had a bad feeling about this.
I hope you liked the Cabbie scene. What do you think Tori wants to talk to Cat about?
Oh, IMPORTANT QUESTION.
Do you want Cat to tell the truth to either Tori or Beck? Would you like one of them to find out?
Let me know what you think of this chapter!
Review!
