Here we go, this is the conclusion of Cat & her friend's first day with the Valclez's!

Chapter 5: The Cat & The Boy

"Hey guys, have you seen Matt anywhere," asked the bubbly red-head to a random couple who took her previous class with Matt.

"Matt," asked the girl, not remembering anyone by that name.

"Yeah, Matt Valclez, he's one of the new kids here. He took our last class," Cat replied, trying to get them to remember him. The couple then started to think amongst each other, attempting to remember the boy Cat was describing to them. After several seconds, the girls' face suddenly was overcome with a look of pure astonishment, as she was now remembering something.

"Oh wait, I remember now! You mean that new kid in our class right?" Cat simply nodded her head to her question.

"Oh yeah, I remember him now. He didn't say a word all class, and he didn't even react when anything happened. I swear, that kid's a freak," the boy said, slightly shuddering at the memory of Matt. Cat didn't know why, but when those words left the boys' mouth, a tiny pinch of pain struck her heart.

"Yeah, he was kinda creepy," his girlfriend added.

"So, did you guys see him," Cat asked, wanting to get the conversation off such a negative vibe.

"Nope, we haven't seen him," the boy answered.

"Not at all," his girlfriend added again.

"Okay, thanks," Cat said, running off to both find Matt, as well as to get away from the couple, as she was feeling a little offended by the couples' remarks towards Matt. Ever since she left the table to look for him, she had ran into five other people that took Matt's classes; all of which she took as well, yet none of them had seen even a trace of him.

Nevertheless, Cat pressed onward, determined to find the elusive boy and return him to their friends. However, as she was now seeing, that was easier said than done.

"Hey Cat," he heard the all too familiar voice call her. Cat turned her head to the left and saw Jade and Beck walking toward her.

"Oh hey Jade, hey Beck," Cat greeted them, her usually cheerful tone highlighting her words.

"What're you doing here, shouldn't you be at lunch," asked Beck, wondering why she wasn't with their friends at this moment.

"Oh, I'm looking for Matt; he didn't come to lunch with the others."

"Others," Jade asked her voice clearly labeling irritation.

"Yeah, Allen and the other new students all came to eat lunch with us."

"Uh, so she's there too!"

"Who," Cat asked, not knowing who Jade was referring to.

"Sarah, that's who, I swear that girl's like a tick!"

"Eew, Jade that's gross" Cat exclaimed, not enjoying the thought of Sarah as a tick.

"What," she asked, not understanding what her friend was so grossed out about.

"Ticks are gross; they're all plump and sucky." The last word to Cats' sentence is what stuck in the couples' mind, and not in a way they would have preferred.

"They're what," Beck asked, wanting to make sure if Cat was actually using it the way it sounded like she was trying to use it.

"Sucky, you know their always sucking peoples' blood." At hearing her say this, the two let out a small sigh of relief amongst themselves. "Anyway, can you guys help me look for Matt, I can't find him anywhere," Cat pleaded with the two.

"No," Jade replied, not in the mood to help out anyone that had anything to do with her new enemy.

"Please," Cat asked once more.

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No!"

"Please?"

"No!"

"Ple-."'

"Okay fine, we'll help you find him. I seriously hate it when you baby talk," Jade groaned, finally giving into Cats' pleads.

'Yay," Cat cheered, happy that she had more people to assist her. She then led the two further into the school, as she continued her pursuit to find Matt.

Approximately ten minutes after Jade and Beck had assisted her; Cat had been able to cover more ground thanks to them. However, even with this extra manpower on her side, Cat still couldn't find the slightest trace of him.

"I don't get it, we've looked everywhere but we can't find him," Cat sighed, clearly saddened by the apparent failure of her mission.

"Cat, why are you trying to find this guy anyway? I mean, we don't really know him, and for all we know, he may not even like this school so he could've left," implied Jade, as she was clearly bored by the search and was now attempting to get Cat to cease in said search.

"Jade's right Cat, if he doesn't want to be around people then we can't force him," Beck argued, agreeing with his girlfriend. For a moment, it appeared that their attempts at convincing her to quit were working, however-

"We still have to find him, even if he doesn't want to be around people."

"Cat-."

"People shouldn't be alone, no matter how strange they are, everyone should have someone who'll be there for them! If someone was always alone, then how could they be happy, thinking no one cared about them?" As Cat said this, there was evidence of what appeared to be hurt in her eyes.

Beck and Jade saw this and turned towards each other, silently knowing that they had to continue on with this, at least so Cat wouldn't feel so down.

"It's okay; we'll just take another look around the school. He has to be somewhere," Beck said, trying to reassure Cat. Cat simply turned to him and Jade and gave them both her usually bright smiles, showing that she was thanking them. "Okay, so I'll go check out the north of the school again and you guys check the south," Beck instructed, to which Cat and Jade willingly agreed, and all went off into their designated directions.

Upon departing from her boyfriend, Jade didn't want to admit it, but she felt somewhat guilty for Cat's pain back there. Cat was Jade's best friend, the two were like sisters, and Jade was very protective of the girl. She never forgave anyone who had ever made her cry, or had hurt her feelings in any way whatsoever. But now, it was she who had hurt Cat, maybe not intentionally, but she felt like the reason that pain came back was because of her. Needless to say, this was eating away at Jade's heart, even as they made it to the music wing on the second floor. The hall was simply flooded with the sound of different instruments being played in different rooms, all in their own rhythm and harmony.

"You think he could be up here," asked Cat, looking to Jade for answers, as she clearly had none.

"I don't know, maybe," she answered, clearly not sure herself. Seeing that her friend couldn't give her a clear answer to help them find him, Cat was about to go into one of the rooms when Jade stopped her by grabbing her arm. Cat turned around to question Jade; however, the latter beat her to it. "Cat, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine Jade, see," she replied, showing Jade that she was physically well. Jade simply shook her head and continued.

"No I mean are you okay," she asked once more, putting more emphasis on the last word.

"Yes, I'm okay," replied Cat once again, though uttering out a small giggle, as she also put additional emphasis on all her words.

"Seriously though Cat, are y-." Jade stopped mid-sentence, seeing Cats' almost clueless face, she really didn't know what she was talking about. Jade then decided to let the subject go, if Cat had indeed returned to her perky self then Jade wouldn't be the one to stop it. "Nothing Cat, it's nothing," she concluded giving the girl a warm smile.

Just then, the two girls then heard something, something that seemed to be overcastting the other sounds of the other instruments playing around them, yet at the same time seemed to almost lead them in an almost angelic chorus.

"Jade, you hear that," asked Cat, becoming somewhat entranced by the beautiful tune.

"Yeah, it's so…so sweet you know."

"Like the voice of an angel." Attempting to feed their curiosities, the girls listened in closer to the beautiful tune, attempting to find its source. After several failed attempts, and opening several wrong doors, the girls were finally able to locate its source, the last door in the hallway. Strangely enough, said door wasn't even the door to a classroom, but in fact a janitor's closet.

"What, this sound's coming from in here," exclaimed Jade, surprised that someone was making such a harmonious sound from such an unusual place. Being driven by the beautiful tune, Cat moved her hand towards the knob of the door and slowly turned it. Upon seeing that the door was unlocked, to not disturb whoever was playing, she then opened the door ever so slightly and once she had it opened enough poked her head inside. Due to the dimness of the room, it took her eyes awhile to adjust to the room, however, once she did, she noticed a figure standing ever so still in the middle of the room. Upon further examination, she saw that it wasn't standing still, but instead was gently rocking from side to side.

"Jade, come here," she whispered behind her, causing said girl to immediately come to her side.

"What is it," she asked, to which Cat simply jerked her head in the direction of the door, telling her that she wanted her to look inside. Jade did as she was instructed and looked inside, taking in the same image as Cat. "Who's that," she asked, unable to tell who the person was, as they had their back to them.

"I don't know, but they sound really pretty." Taking in that she was referring to their playing Jade simply continued to watch and listen to the unidentified person's symphony, becoming slightly entranced herself. After nearly three more minutes of this, the person finished with a final, somewhat sorrowful note and ceased, causing the girls to recover from their trance-like state. Upon seeing that the composer was finished, the two girls prepared to question them, as well as discover their identity, when the person suddenly spoke, startling them.

"Just how long do you plan on standing there?" Cat was now at full alert, as she recognized this voice.

"Matt," she asked, as the person didn't reply to her question, but simply let out a sigh and turned around, revealing that it was in fact Matt! Seeing that they had found their desired target, Cat could only help but smile, while Jade on the other hand was quite skeptical, as she was able to read the boy's actions, seeing that he was apparently agitated by their arrival.

"So this is where you've been hiding out huh," she asked, being the first one to break the silence. He didn't answer at first, but simply looked away from them with his head hung down.

"Yeah, I came here cuz I thought I'd be able to get some peace and quiet." As he said this, the two saw that he was attempting to cover something in his right hand by placing the side of his jacket over it. However, this effort proved useless, as Jade simply walked over to him and attempted to make a grab for whatever it was, yet Matt was faster and was able to move out of her reach before she could even notice. Upon her hand grasping nothing but air, Jade simply looked at Matt, her eyes brimming with slight surprise. However, her eyes slightly softened as she then gave him a somewhat menacing smile and asked-

"Whatcha got their?" Despite the effect Jade's glares usually have on people, Matt was surprisingly unaffected by it as he was able to let out the response of-

"None of your business." Unlike Jade's glare towards him, his remark was able to stimulate a reaction from its target, as Jade's eyes nearly doubled in size out of shock. Cat, being able to read her friend's actions better than anyone, made her way into the space between them, as she knew if these two continued, there would most likely be a bad conclusion.

"You were amazing, I didn't think anyone could play that good," she complimented him, yet he just gave her a rather blank glance and looked away from her.

"I still need to practice though," he muttered to himself.

"But you sounded great though, could you play a little more for us?"

"I don't take requests, sorry," he replied, yet his tone suggested that he was anything but.

"Then we'll listen while you practice," she exclaimed happily, hoping he'd let them listen to his symphony once more.

"No thanks, I've done enough practicing for today," he informed her, much to her disappointment as he then moved around her and then Jade as he made his way to the door. Yet, just as he was about to leave the two, he was stopped by something grabbing the sleeve of his jacket. He turned to see that it was none other than Jade who had grabbed him, another menacing smile laminating her face. "Could you be so kind to let me go," he asked her, moving his eyes down from her face to his jacket sleeve, which she still had in her grip.

"I don't take requests, sorry," she replied, still smiling. As she said this, she made sure she played with each and every word, intending to make sure that he realizes she was mocking the very remark he had only recently given Cat. "Besides, you still didn't answer my question, whatcha got there?"

"If I answer, will you let me go?"

"Hmm…maybe, depends if I like it." Seeing that this may be his only chance of escaping, Matt simply moved his arm out from underneath his jacket and showed to them the violin he was carrying in his hand. Upon first glance, the violin didn't really spark much of an interest in either girl, however, upon closer examination; the two girls were able to see very elaborate and decorative details on the violin. Not only that, but they also saw that it wasn't your typical brown violin either, but instead, it was black, and not like the black you see from an amateur with spray-paint, but it was almost like the violin was painted with the night itself. Being taken aback by the unusually beautiful instrument before them, they failed to notice that Matt had escaped Jade's clutches.

"Judging by your expressions, I take it that you like what you see. So, I'll be on my way now." With that, he then made his way out the door, but again was stopped by someone grabbing the sleeve of his jacket. This time however, it was Cat, her brown eyes looking into his black pools once more.

"Wait, we came to get you."

"Get me, why?"

"Because, I told Brianna and the others I'd bring you back to eat lunch with us."

"Y-you know Brianna!" This sudden outburst took Cat and Jade aback. This was the first time either one of him had heard his voice come out so clearly, yet there appeared to be something rather obvious in his tone, whether it was fear or surprise they couldn't tell. Due to pure curiosity and interest, Cat decided to press on with this.

"You know Brianna," she asked innocently.

"N-no, not really," he replied, though it was obvious he was lying.

"Liar," she stated, slightly poking him.

"I'm not lying. Damn it, why did she have to meet a girl like this," he retorted, however, saying the second sentence much lower so she wouldn't hear him.

"Liar liar pants on fire!"

"Again, not lying, now let me go." Cat simply shook her head, as her grip actually tightened on his sleeve.

"Come on, let's go eat lunch!"

"I don't eat school food."

"Why, does it taste bad?"

"I wouldn't know, I don't eat it."

"Well, let's start now," she said as she started to pull him away.

"What-no! Just leave me alone alright? I don't want to eat lunch, if I did, I wouldn't be here being forced by you two."

"What's that suppose to mean," she screamed, stating her catchphrase as she then let him go. However, he found himself unable to move, as the sudden exclamation had startled him.

"What the hell," he muttered as he looked for a possible answer. "I meant that if I wanted to eat lunch then I would have come myself."

"Oh," Cat said, now understanding the meaning behind his words.

"Just leave him Cat," Jade finally spoken, as she then came up to her friend. "If he wants to stay here and play his little violin than let him, besides, this guy's starting to piss me off." Even though she was saying this, Jade still had her previously menacing smile on her once more. Before Cat could even say anything back, Jade had already grabbed her arm and was pulling her out of the hallway.

"Jade, why'd you do that," she exclaimed once Jade had stopped pulling, though by then, they had returned to the first floor of the school.

"Dunno, but there's something I don't like about that guy," she replied, though mentally, something inside her head was slightly disagreeing with her. Cat childishly puffed out her cheeks, as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"I wanted him to come and eat with us too," she sighed, finally letting the air out of her cheeks.

"Don't worry about him, guys like that are lost causes anyway." Jade then took out her phone and began to press a series of buttons on it.

"Whatcha doing?"

"Texting Beck to stop looking and to go to his next class."

"Why?"

"Cuz, lunch's almost over." Shocked by the news she had just received, Cat quickly took out her own phone and looked to see that Jade was correct, as there were only six minutes until lunch would be over. Deciding that it wouldn't be of much use to return to the table, Cat decided to stay with Jade, as the two then decided to start a brief conversation on the first thing that came to their minds, mutated broccoli. Six minutes after the conversation began, the bell rung, signaling them to proceed on to their next class.

"Bye bye," Cat said to Jade, as the two parted ways to their classes. Jade simply waved to her friend as she left in the opposite direction. As Cat skipped to her class, she couldn't help but think about her and Matt's brief conversation. He was so different than anyone she had met before. He was so quiet and he hardly showed any emotions whatsoever. He was indeed as the couple she earlier encountered said he was, weird. Yet Cat had to admit that even though he was somewhat weird, he was still an interesting person in her eyes. The way he played his violin was so heavenly; Cat was completely captivated by its song. And he even stood up to Jade, something many people would never be brave enough, or stupid enough to do! All in all, Cat thought he was someone she wanted to befriend.

Upon reaching her class, Cat noticed that someone was sitting in theusuallyempty seat next to her own, and the second he saw her, his eyes enlarged, as he then turned and apparently let out a sigh. Cat giggled at their reaction, as she was truly glad they were taking another of her classes. She then quickly walked over to her seat and sat beside them, slightly poking them.

"Why God, why," they muttered, causing her to giggle once more.

"Hi, Matt."

Upon the end of the day, the entire school of Hollywood Arts had been thrown off its edge by the unusual bunch that had appeared to it. None more so than Cat and her friends, who all took half the classes of at least one of the newbies. Albeit Cat was the only one who took all of Matt's classes. The six new students were certainly talented individuals, each having their own unique skill that they would excel Allen excelling in athletics, to Matt excelling in playing his violin, these children where truly unique individuals.

"Time to go, time to go, time to go home," cheered Cat, as she skipped to the parking lot where her mother was surely waiting for her. As much fun as she had today, she was happy to finally be able to go home.

However, just as she was waiting in the area where her mother would usually pick her up, the sudden honking of a horn caught her attention. She turned to her right to see a black Mercedes. Just when Cat was about to turn away from the car, as she didn't recognize it at all, a familiar voice called out to her.

"Cat!" Hearing the voice, Cat immediately turned around to see Brianna sticking her head out of the passenger window.

"Hey Bri, what's up," she greeted her friend as she then noticed Jason sitting in the driver's seat.

"Nothing, I just wanted to make sure you were doing alright."

"Oh I'm fine, I'm just waiting for my Mom to come and pick me up," she replied, smiling, happy that her new friend was so caring.

"Yo Bri, let's get going! Mom's making spaghetti tacos tonight," cried another familiar voice. cat looked past the Mercedes and saw both Allen and Sarah inside a white BMW. Catching her look as well, Allen smiled and waved back at her, while Sarah simply smiled.

"Alright, see ya tommorow Cat," she said, as she sat back down in the car and the group drove off. Just then, once Jason and Brianna passed by her, Cat noticed Matt sitting quietly in the backseat of the car. She was about to say something to him, yet the moment he saw her, he quickly turned away, leaving Cat to simply stand there for a few seconds before she heard her mother call to her.

As the three drove off, Brianna looked back at Cat who was getting into her mother's car, smiling at her newfound friend.

"She's such a sweet girl, I can't believe ones like her are still around. What do you think of her Jason," she asked, looking at her husband.

"If she's alright with you, then I have no complaints." His response had apparently pleased her, as she then leaned over and gave him a swift peck on the cheek.

"So Matt, what do you think of Cat," she asked the boy, looking back at him to see his reaction.

"She's an annoyingly perky little red-head who should be locked away in a mental institution." His words were calm and without any emotion, and they almost came out automatically. Brianna simply looked back at the boy for a few seconds before smiling and then breaking into a fit of laughter. "What," he asked, not understanding her actions.

"You totally like her," she exclaimed, causing for the first time that day some color to appear on the boy's face, red.

"N-no I don't, didn't you hear a word I just said," he exclaimed back at her.

"Relax, I'm just kidding," she replied as he then readjusted himself in his seat. Brianna simply gave the boy one more smile before turning to Jason, who also had an amused smile on his face.

AN: Hope you guys enjoyed my OCs, trust me, they'll all play a big role in the story, especially Matt. By the way, Cat's little blow up when Jade and Beck treid to stop her will be explained later in the story. Next Chap, the supernaturals will come out. Anyway, let me know what you think.
