AN: Here's the next chapter. Wohoo. Okay but seriously. It's still not very long but to be honest the story has barely started yet. I hope you stick with it anyway.

I parked my car outside the big house and looked up at the window which I knew led to Cat's room. I was starting to doubt whether or not this was a good idea. It had seemed to be a great one when I got it. But now it just felt stupid standing in the driveway, my bag heavy from everything that I was carrying.
I decided to go for it anyway and I took a deep breath before walking up the drive-way towards the door. I knocked three times and took a step back, waiting for someone to come open for me.
Suddenly the door creaked open and revealed a scruffy man looking to be in his twenty's. Cat's brother I assumed.
"Hi." I said trying to keep my voice steady.
He grunted a little looking at me.
"Is Cat home?" I asked.
He grunted again and walked back into the house, leaving me on the front porch, the door still open.
In a minute I saw Cat come skipping down the stairs, she was wearing a tank top and shorts, her hair pulled back in a long red pony-tail. She stopped abruptly when she saw me.
She immediately exchanged her usual smile with a frown and was just about to turn and walk back up the stairs.
"Cat, Wait!" I yelled out of pure instinct.
She stopped again and looked at me.
"Why are you mad?" I asked even though I was about 99% sure of the answer.
"Why didn't you invite me to your party?" She asked in her high-pitched voice, sounding aggravated.
I held back my smile, knowing that she was genuinely upset. "Cat, there was no party! I was just joking."
"Well it wasn't funny." She said, the frown still plastered across her face.
"But to make it up to you..." I said as I started rummaging around in my backpack. "I brought this." I picked up two cups and two bags of tea. Showing them to her and seeing her face light up slightly.
"Tea!" She smiled jumping down the last two steps and taking the cups from me.
"I'm sorry." I said, smiling insecurely. "So you want to have this tea party now or what?"
"Totally!" She giggled, leading the way into the kitchen positively beaming with joy. It was amazing how fast her mood could change.
"Shall we boil some water?" I asked as she put down the cups on the table.
She giggled again and nodded, filling the kettle with water and starting to heat it. We didn't speak until the water was finished and we filled our cups to the rim with it.
"We can go to my room." she said. "This isn't very cozy."
I agreed and followed her up the stairs to the pink, fluffy nest that was her room.
She pulled out a table to the middle of the room which we put down the cups on. Then she pulled out two beanbag-chairs for us to sit in.
"Sit down." She said, finishing off with her characteristic giggle whilst plopping down into a beanbag.
I sat down awkwardly and picked up my cup from the table, blowing on it to cool it off.
"Where is Rex?" Cat asked suddenly.
"I left him at home tonight." I answered. Cat wasn't really the one to back-talk someone. But I could tell she was happy I had chosen not to bring him.
"I love this tea." She said after taking another sip of it. "What is it?"
"I think it's called Orange Jaïpur." I answered.
"I didn't even know you liked tea, Robbie?"
I chuckled. "Well... I do."
"I do too!" She called out, giggling hysterically.
"Ah Cat, put down the cup before you do that!" I said as she spilled her tea all over herself in her giggle-attack.
She smiled and put down her cup before giggling again. I couldn't help but smile myself.

"Woah! It's already eleven!" I exclaimed as I checked my Pear phone a few hours later. Cat and I had completely lost track of time. Boiling more and more kettles of tea and talking about everything worth talking about.
"I really should go." I said, raising up.
"I'll see you tomorrow Robbie." Cat said as I walked out of her room.
"Yeah, bye." I smiled.
As I walked down to my car i felt satisfied. It had been a good evening and Cat wasn't mad at me anymore. We had so much fun just drinking tea and talking. It was definitely something I wanted to do again. Although I wasn't really sure on how to approach her with the question.
I tried to think of a good way to ask her and felt my phone buzz in my pocket. I picked it up to check the text. It was from Cat.
"Weshoulddothisagainsometime:D"
That problem was out of the way then.
And we did do it again sometime. Cat and I met only two days later for another tea-party. This time including biscuits. We had a great time and decided to keep doing it. Drink tea and hang out and we also decided on some rules.
I don't really know why we made rules. It's not like you usually need rules of any kind just for drinking tea. But we did it anyway, just for fun. By the end of the night we had come up with for of them.
1. The Tea-party was to be held at a different setting every time. It could never be in the same place twice and we would take turns in deciding where we should go.
2. The tea also had to be different from time to time, so that we both wouldn't get tired of it.
3. I wasn't aloud to bring Rex to the parties. it took a while for her to convince me on this one. But I gave in eventually.
4. Unless someone asked, we weren't to speak of our meetings in school. It was a weird rule. It wasn't like we wanted to sneak around with what we were doing, but at the same time we wanted this rule. Maybe only to fill out the list.
"So next time, we go somewhere else and we drink something else?" Cat said as she was about to leave. We had been at my house today.
"Yep." I replied. "So. I'll text you when I figure something out."
She giggled. "Kay."
"Bye Cat."
"Byee!"
I watched as the red-head bobbed away over my front lawn and then I turned back into my house. Time to think of a setting for our next tea party.
I wanted to pick somewhere I knew she would like. But where was that?
Oh well. I'd figure something out.
Yeahh… That was that. More coming shortly. Thanks again for reading, review if you so please.
