Chapter 3: New Family On the Block
"Bye Mom," Cat exclaimed, as she exited her mothers' car.
"Bye sweetie, have a good day in school," her mother replied, giving her daughter a warm and comforting smile.
"Okay Mom, I will," she responded, giving her mother a sweet kiss goodbye, as she then ran towards the school.
Cat was back to her usual, unusually cheerful self. After waking up from her second dream, which turned out to be a peaceful one, she then enjoyed a perfect breakfast, in which her mom made her favorite, pancakes with strawberry and whipped cream. With all of these positive enforcements, Cat had completely forgotten the creepy dream, and was now skipping towards the school.
While skipping she found herself humming the tune to the wheels on the bus. As she was happily humming her favorite nursery rhyme tune, she forgot that the schools' parking lot was crowded with students, and as a result ended up bumping into someone, causing both of them to fall on their butts.
"Ow," she heard them wince.
"Oh my God, I'm so sorry," she exclaimed, about to help them up when they stopped her.
"No, it's alright, I should've watched where I was going," they informed her, holding their hand up, signaling her to stop. Cat then noticed that the person who she had knocked down was a teenage boy, one who she had never met before. She saw that this boy was only an inch shorter than Beck, had somewhat messy short black hair, and olive eyes. However, what really got her attention was that although his skin was light, it was also slightly pale.
"Hi I'm Cat, nice to m-," she attempted to say to the boy, yet he raced off before he even heard her start. "Who was that," Cat asked herself, as she stood there, completely perplexed by the mysterious boy she had just met. She was eventually brought back to reality by the sound of someone calling out to her.
"Cat...Hey Cat!" She turned her head to see that it was Tori who was calling her, and happily ran up to greet her.
"Hey Tori," she greeted, giving her a bear hug.
"Whoa, down girl, it's not like we haven't seen each other in years, right?"
"I know, but I'm just sooo happy to see you," she replied, increasing her grip.
"Why, and I'm starting to blackout now!"
"Oh sorry, and I really don't know," she replied, letting her go.
"You don't know?"
"Nope," she said simply.
"Yeah, that sounds about right," she exclaimed, remembering that this was Cat after all. Just then, the memory of the boy popped into Cats' head, so she decided to ask Tori about him.
"Hey Tori?"
"Yeah, what's up," she asked, curious as to what the little red-head wanted.
"Did you se-."
"Hey, Tori…Cat," they heard someone call them. They then turned towards the voice and saw Robbie running up to them. Once he had reached them, they saw that he was incredibly sweaty, panting rather hard, and in fact, looked as though he would faint at any minute.
"Robbie, what's wrong," asked a concern Tori, as both she and Cat held Robbie up, as he was about to fall over.
"I...homework...running…can't," he panted, barely able to get the words out.
"Hold on, I'll go get some water. Cat, stay here okay?"
"Kay Kay," Cat replied, as Tori sped off to find Robbie some water. As Cat remained with him, she began wondering what it was he wanted to tell them, and why was he running. However, her mind slowly but surely began to drift towards the subject of her past fixation; the mysterious boy from before. Just who was he, and was he a new student or something? Cat then wondered why she kept thinking about this boy. It wasn't like he was someone special or anything like that, at least not to Cat anyway. She just didn't know why, but she couldn't get her mind off the strange boy. Just then, she heard Robbie stir up a pretty nasty sounding cough. "Robbie, hang on, Tori's gonna be back soon," she pleaded with him, yet he continued to pant and sweat.
"What The Jell!" The sudden outburst nearly caused Cat to jump out of her pants, as she turned and saw a girl standing in front of her. Said girl was around the same height as Cat, she had long curly brown hair; which went down to her chest, as well as hazel eyes to match. Her physique was rather slender, and her skin was light as well; showing that she was Caucasian, and she appeared to be younger than Cat; but only by a year or so. However, despite all these seemingly ordinary features, Cat noticed that the girls' skin was slightly pale, just like the boy she met before. The girl then dropped her backpack and knelt down in front of Robbie, placing her hands on both sides of his face, in an almost comforting and motherly way. "What happened to him," she asked Cat, though her tone wasn't harsh or rash, but more on the line of concerned and caring.
"I don't know, he was running up to us, and when he caught up, we saw he was like that," Cat answered truthfully.
"We," she asked curiously, only seeing Cat.
"Oh, me and my friend Tori, she went to go get him some water."
"How long has she been gone?"
'Umm, about two minutes, I think."
"Oh boy, this is gonna be tricky," Cat heard the girl mutter, but didn't say anything. Just then the girl beamed a sweet smile at Robbie and began to softly rub the sides she was holding. "There there, it's gonna be okay Robbie, you don't have to worry. Your friends Tori and…," she stopped in her tenderness to turn to Cat. Cat apparently knew what she wanted, as she nodded and said her name.
"Cat, Cat Valentine."
"Your friends Tori and Cat have been taking care of you; you really are a lucky boy, aren't you?" To this, Robbie simply nodded tiredly, as she continued. "Now Robbie, I know you don't know me, but I'm your friend too, I'm gonna help take care of you. Now I want you to calm down and think of a time when you were really really happy." Robbie simply nodded again, and closed his eyes, think back to a time when he was at leant remotely happy. Once he found the right memory, he then smiled, and surprisingly, so did the girl. "I see, that's a nice memory isn't it? Now just keep that memory in your head, and don't leave it until Tori gets back." She then slowly and gently laid him back against the wall, and stood up, smiling. "There, he should be okay now. You're a sweet girl to take care of your friends like that." She then retrieved her backpack and was about to leave, when Cat stopped her.
"Thank you; I don't know what would've happened to him if you didn't show up."
"Aww, you're too modest, he wouldn't even be as stable as he was if it wasn't for you," she complemented.
"My name's Cat, what's yours?"
"I'm Brianna, but you can call me Bree for short. Oh, and you already introduced yourself when I was calming down your friend," Bree admitted. At realizing this, Cat immediately began to blush a bright pink from sheer embarrassment.
"I-I'm sorry," she apologized.
"Why, you didn't do anything wrong, so don't apologize. Anyway, see ya," she said, leaving the scene. No sooner than she left did Tori return with a bottle of water.
"Here, I got the water," she panted, handing the water to Cat, who opened it and poured it into Robbie's mouth. The second she did so, Robbie grabbed the bottle and lifted his head up, breathing heavily.
"Robbie," Cat screamed, hugging him, happy that he was okay.
"W-what happened," he asked, clearly ditzy from the exhaustion.
"You were running up to us when you nearly passed out. So me and Cat got you some water, and here we are" explained Tori. "Why were you running anyway," she then asked, curious as to why Robbie wanted them in the first place.
"Oh yeah, you know that assignment Sikowitz gave us?"
"You mean where we have to do a Luck Charms commercial as a dolphin," Tori asked, causing Cat to laugh.
"Dolphin leprechauns are funny," she simply said, catching their stares.
"Yeah, that one, so I couldn't get it, so I went around the school seeing if anyone knew how to do it." Suddenly, a familiar voice entered the conversation.
"Couldn't, you were never gonna get that man!"
"Is that Rex," Tori asked not seeing the obnoxious puppet.
"Yes, he's in here," Robbie replied, motioning to his backpack.
"Wait, you put him in there, why?"
"Because, he kept picking on me, and I told him to stop or else."
"So, I bit his face," spoke Rex from within the backpack.
"He bit you," asked a shocked Tori.
"Yes, right on my nose," he answered, rubbing his nose.
"Bad Rex, bad bad Rex," exclaimed Cat.
"Ah shuddup," Rex retorted.
"Rex, cut it out, or I'm locking you inside my locker.
"No, don't do that man; you know I'm closet phobic!"
"I think he means claustrophobic," corrected Tori. "But anyway, you were running all over the school, nearly pass out, and put Rex in your backpack for a school assignment!"
"Yeah, wouldn't you," he asked not seeing why she was acting so strangely.
"No, I don't think anybody would," she exclaimed. Just then, the bell rung, signaling the beginning of class. "Come on, let's get going, we don't wanna be late."
"Kay kay," Cat replied, as she and Tori began walking to class, leaving Robbie behind.
"W-wait up! Tori...Cat," he called, trying to catch up with them.
By the time the second bell had rung; signaling the beginning of class, the three had arrived to the classroom and were greeted by another of their friends, Andre Harris.
"Yo guys, sup," he greeted them, happy to see his friends.
"Hey," Tori replied happily, giving him a sweet smile.
"Hi hi," replied Cat, bouncing to her seat.
"Hey," Robbie replied, though his tone was admittingly dead in both volume and life.
"What's wrong with him," Andre asked Tori, to which she replied-
"It's a long story," hoping to satisfy his curiousity, to which she apparently did, as he nodded his head and took a seat next to her.
Cat, being the uncontrollable hyper girl she was couldn't simply just stay still in her seat. so she scanned the room, looking for something to amuse her. it was by doing this that shee noticed Jade and Beck cuddeled together near the back of the class. Upon seeing them, Cat had an idea pop into her head and said-
"Hey Jade, you know that assignment Sikowitz gave us?"
"The leprechaun dolphin,"Jade asked, to which Cat nodded her head.
"Yeah, Robbie couldn't do it, so could you help him with it?"
"Sure," she replied again. The second she said this, Robbie sprung up from his seat and ran up to Jade and hugged her.
"Thank you Jade! Thank you thank you thank you thank you, thaaank you!" However, he would soon wish to take back his thank yous', as Jade quickly feed herself from his grasp, and kicked him in the gut, causing him to immediately fall to the floor.
"And I thought Cat was the hyper one. What the heck's your problem Shapiro?"
"Nothing, I'm just happy someone's gonna help me with this thing!"
"Really, who," Jade asked, wanting to know the identity of the Samaritan.
"You, you said you were going to help me!"
"No I didn't."
"But you said-."
"Cat asked if I could, and I can. She didn't ask me if I would, and I won't." Realization of what had just occurred had just dropped onto Robbie like a three ton sack of bricks, as he then fell back to the floor, and crawled back into his seat.
"You didn't have to do that to him Jade," defended Tori.
"You didn't have to do that to him Jade," mocked Jade, in the voice she always used to imitate Tori.
"I do not sound like that!"
"Jade, come on be nice," Beck pleaded with his girlfriend.
"Why, being nice's no fun."
"Jade," he repeated, sounding almost like a parent about to scold a child.
"Fine, I'm sorry Vega," she sighed. However, this wasn't what Beck wanted to hear, as he said-
"And," to which Jade let out another sigh.
"And, I'm sorry for crushing your hopes, Shapiro. There, happy now," she asked Beck.
"Well, it's a start," he admitted, as Jade brought his lips down to hers' for a quick kiss.
"Gank," Tori snapped, causing Jade to shoot her a glare. Just then, Sikowitz entered the room, and rather cheerfully too.
"Hello my wonderful students," he exclaimed, using a more dramatic tone then he usually used, to which startled the class.
"Uh, Sikowitz, are you feeling okay," asked Tori, wondering if there was something wrong with her teacher.
"Yes, I feel simply electrified," he replied, this time gleefully, further startling the class.
"Electrified," Beck asked nervously.
"Yes, well that may be because I stepped into a puddle this morning while listening to my favorite Fruit Boot album." At saying this, he noticed the class' expressions change from startled to shoked, and some even had a look of confusion drapped over their faces.
"Fruit Boot," asked Andre, not remembering the name anywhere in his mind.
"Yes, it's a group of people who dress up as fruits and sing classical polka music," Sikowitz answered, only further adding to the class' confusion. "But that's not important right now, what is, is that I have a suprise for you all."
"A suprise? Yay I love suprises," Cat exclaimed gleefully. "Well except the one time my brother got a suprise gift for me on my birthday, and it was a dead skunk." Upon her saying this, the class fell somewhat silent, as they didn't excpect someone to give someone the cared about a dead animal for their birthday.
"Cat," called Jade, to which Cat immediately turned her head to see what she wanted.
"Yeah?"
"Your brother needs professional help."
"Indeed he does," agreed Sikowitz, much to Cats' shock. "Anyway, onto the suprise! Can anyone guess what it is?" At this, the class began guessing random topics as to what the suprise could be, all to which he informed them that they answered incorrectly.
"What is it then," asked Tori, wanting know what the suprise was.
"Alright, since you children are so terrible at guessing I'll tell you. We're going to have three new students join our class. Now, I've talked to them, and they all say that they want to introduce themselves to everyone, so everyone enjoy. Alright, you can begin now," he called out, and the second he did, a boy popped out of the door at the back of the class. The boy was considerabally tall, at least an inch taller than Beck, had a light skin tone, though it was slightly pale, short dark-brown hair; which was slightly messy. He also had black eyes and was somewhat muscular.
"Yo, what's up everyone," he shouted, turning to the class, an excited look plastered his face. The class was then taken aback by his actions, as they didn't see why he was so excited. "Now I know what you're all thinking, who am I, right? Well, the name's Allen...Allen Valclez, and I'm happy to say that I'll be attending this school from now on! So get ready to have the biggest party of your life!" Once he had said this, he then jumped off the class' stage and fell to the ground right infront of the class.
"Uum, is he gonna be okay," asked Tori, wondering if the boy was injured.
"I'm just peachy, thank you," he exclaimed, shooting back to his feet. Before the class could even register what had just happened, they heard a voice call from the same door the boy had come from.
"Allen, you always have to make a flashy entrance, huh." Then turned to the voice to see a teenage girl standing in the door. The girl was aroiund average height and had a well developed physique. She had coc brown skin, almond brown eyes, and had long black hair, which seemed to appear as if it was a waterfall running down from her head.
"Ah c'mon Sarah, if I don't make a good entrance, how can I make some good friends," he complained, to which the girl returned with a heart-warming smile.
"I'm sorry sweetie, I forgot how much you like to make people happy," she replid, making her way over to him and rubbing his cheek tenderly. Allen then held said hand and then kissed it.
"It's alright. I have to remember that even though I can make all the friends in the world, my best friend is always by my side." The second those words slipped from his mouth, he then gave the girl a tender kiss to her cheek, causing nearly every girl in the room to utter out an aww.
"That's so sweet," one girl exclaimed.
"I wish my boyfriend was like that," another one let out.
"Don't get any ideas girls, he's mine," the girl suddenly snapped at the class, cathcing everyone off guard.
"Easy sweetie, down girl," Allen instructed Allen, to which she did.
"Ah, would you care to intoduce yourself," Sikowitz suddenly piped up.
"Sure, my name's Sarah, Sarah Washington. It's nice to meet you all," Sarah informed them, as she then wrapped an arm around Allens'. Allen then suddenly turned his head and called to the door-
"Hey, we've intorduced ourselves, now it's your turn," to which there was no response. Then, they all suddenly heared footsteps approaching, and within seconds saw a boy appear from it.
"Ah yes, and last but not least, here's our final recruit!" Cat could have sworn she recognized this boy from somewhere, but just didn't know from where.
"Hello, my name's Matt, Matt Valclez. I'm happy to be a part of this class," the boy said to the class, though his tone seemed to contradict what he was saying. It was then and there that Cat remembered what was so familiar about this boy, he was the mysterious boy she had met earlier!
