AN: Hey! First of all I just want to thank you all sooo much for all the lovely reviews I've been getting. Lately I've really been doubting whether this was as good as I thought in the beginning, but you kind of made me feel more confident about it. So thank you. Here's the next chapter.

It didn't help. Cat still wasn't talking to me. Though I caught her glancing at me from time to time over the next few days. Other than that, there was really no progress. For some reason it made me even angrier knowing that she wouldn't forgive me. It wasn't like Cat. It was her natural instinct to think the best of everyone, and to forgive them when they asked her too. This wasn't Cat. But honestly, I didn't think there was much I could do. I deserved it, didn't I?

The first time I saw them kiss was that Wednesday in the middle of March. She was standing on her tippy toes with her arms around his neck and he was smiling brightly as he pecked her on the lips. It made feel sick, and I think she saw me turn on my heels and walk the other way. Because she gave me a look that afternoon. I couldn't really figure out what the look meant. She just looked at me, and I looked back. And for the first time in forever I actually felt that we communicated on some weird level, even though she pretended that it never happened afterwards.

All the while I was starting to go see Maggie more and more often. This caused my friends to wonder where I disappeared to in the afternoons so they asked me.

"Seriously Robbie." Tori said. "Where are you going?"

"Nowhere!" I exclaimed, annoyed.

"Yes you are! Tell me!" Tori was known for her impatient personality, and I knew she wouldn't give up before I at least told her something.

"Fine! I'm going to meet with a friend."

Jade snorted and I gave her a look.

"Yeah, I do have friends other than you guys."

"Right." Jade said sarcastically and I scowled at her. "What's his name?"

"Her name is Maggie." I said with a cocky smile and Jade snorted again.

"You're meeting with a girl?" Tori said excitedly. "Why didn't you say so?"

"Uhm... I don't know. I just. I wanted to wait a while to... introduce you." The best thing probably would've been to tell them that Maggie was in fact a 70 year old woman. But I felt that Jade would only make too much fun of me, so I decided not to correct them.

Believe me when I say it was a huge mistake. Before I knew it everybody was asking me to meet Maggie. The girl I was seeing. And I didn't have the guts to tell them who she actually was in fear of getting picked on until the day I died. So I kept saying how Maggie was busy. Lying. Lying. Lying.

If you didn't know already, lying doesn't exactly make you feel good about yourself. In fact it makes you feel just about the opposite. But I felt obligated to continue. I mean, what would they say if I told them the truth at that point. It had been going on for too long.

Tori was getting more and more pushy on the whole Maggie thing and I honestly didn't know what to do. So I started searching for girls who could be willing to be my fake girlfriend. If only for a couple of hours. At first, I looked for someone good-looking. Someone who would take the others by storm, maybe even make Cat a little jealous. But I soon ruled out that option. I should've known there wasn't one single girl on the face of this planet who wanted to go out with me. Even less a good looking one.

But I kept searching, lowering the bar a little bit and suddenly I knew who I needed. Margareth Doyle.

In middle school we shared almost all of our classes, but she, talentless as she was, didn't make it into Hollywood arts. She was the perfect choice, giving that her name was the same as Maggie's, and if i didn't remember it wrong. She did actually have a crush on me when we were smaller.

It didn't take me long to find her, internet really could do anything these days, and I was surprised to see that she was willing to go on a date with me. I found it appropriate to at least meet the girl before I introduced her to my friends.

I didn't feel good about the whole thing. But you've got to do what you've got to do, right?

~~

My stomach twitched as I saw the skinny, sandy-blonde girl come walking towards me. She actually looked quite pretty, prettier than I remembered her to be, dressed in a purple dress and leggings. Her hair tied back in a ponytail. She still had braces, just like when we were kids. But they kind of fit her. She wasn't a 10. But she wasn't ugly.

"Hi Robbie." She smiled. Her voice was loud and squeaky and she looked more than happy to see me. It felt weird. I hadn't seen her in over three years. But she obviously didn't even find it awkward.

"Hi Maragareth." I said squirming a little. "Shall we go inside?"

I motioned towards the café at the side of the street. It was a modern café with colorful chairs and white sterile walls. The staff was young and dressed completely in black. It wasn't very cozy. But it was okay for a first, and in this case also a last date. We ordered and sat down at a table in the far corner. And then we started talking.

Maragareth was just as I remembered her. Pushy, needy, loud and annoying, she resembled Trina slightly except that Maragareth wasn't as full of herself as Tori's big sister. But I managed to bear with it. I really needed her to introduce to Tori and the others. I knew it was wrong in every way possible but when were my morals ever high enough for me to care?

Okay... I heard how that sounded. I was definitely changing and becoming a better person and all...

After this.

When we'd been talking for almost an hour, and I'd considered shooting myself a couple of times we decided to go. I told her I would call her. And that wasn't a lie. I was going to call her, introduce her to my friends and then I was going to let her down easily and tell her why we couldn't work out. And try not to make her feel too bad. Because I sure did feel bad.

~~

"So do you want to meet Maggie or..?" I asked the group. We were waiting for Sikowitz to come and teach us, but he was late.

Tori clapped her hands.

"Yes! When?" She squealed, the other ones murmured a little, implying they didn't care that much about this.

"I don't know." I shrugged.

"Tell you what." Tori said. "We're having a small party at my house this Saturday. You should bring her."

"Why are you having a party again?" Beck turned to Tori.

"Oh Trina just wants an opportunity to hit on guys." Tori sighed. "But you're all invited."

"I love parties!" Cat exclaimed and Sky smiled and put her arm around her waist.

Ugh… would he stop that.

"We'll be there." Beck smiled as Jade rolled her eyes.

"Me too." Andre winked at Tori.

"Yeah Sure. And I'll bring Maggie."

"You sure will!" Tori wiggled her eyebrows just as Sikowitz entered the room.

"Good morning class!"

~~

"So... Everybody. This is Maggie."

We were at Tori's party. There were actually quite a few people there. I guessed you should give most of the cred for that to Tori. I really doubted Trina was the flame that drew the moths. I was just introducing Maggie to my friends. They all greeted her politely, but after that only Tori and Andre cared to stay and chat with her.

"So how long have you to been going out?" Tori asked.

I cut in before Maggie could do so and ruin everything. "Uhm… A while."

"Okay..." Tori said, looking a little taken a back my eagerness to answer her question.

We chatted for a while. I was basically the only one answering questions, because I was scared Maggie would say anything that would blow my covers. All the while I was trying to keep an eye on what Sky and Cat were doing. Up to this point they had only been chatting casually on the couch. She was laughing and looking so happy.

As I looked over at them I remembered the last time Cat and I had been on that couch. Christmas. When she gave me the cup. The cup I threw at the wall. The cup that lay broken in a box under my bed.

Tori snapped me back to reality with another question and I found myself wanting to get out of there.

The party rolled along. Me and Maggie danced and talked. At one or two occasions I found myself actually enjoying it, but then I just looked over and saw Cat and Sky at the other side of the room, kissing and I was back to being moody and wishing this party would end soon.

About two hours or so into the party Maggie and I were sitting on the stairs. We weren't talking, which I found a lot more comfortable than having to listen to her whiny voice. But after a while she grabbed my wrist and pulled me up off the stairs.

"Maggie what are you doing?" I asked. But she kept quiet and dragged me across the room and out the back door to the little patio. A few people were standing out there, talking or kissing and Maggie dragged me right passed them.

"Maggie…what?"

She still didn't answer, but she stopped abruptly. We had gone behind a couple of bushes. We weren't far from the patio, but it still felt as though this was a more private place. Suddenly a feeling of panic struck me. What was she doing? Was she going to kiss me now? Was that why she had dragged me out here? I really didn't want to kiss her. I couldn't kiss her. I had to tell her.

"Look Maggie I..."

She interrupted me with a light peck on the lips and I felt my insides twitch. This wasn't right.

"Maggie I have to tell you something." I said.

"In know." she smirked.

"You... what?" That little smile was seriously confusing. Why did she look like that?

"I know you like Cat."

"How... How did you...How?" I couldn't even speak properly. Was it that obvious? If she could see it, could the other ones see it too? Did Cat know? If she did I was so screwed.

"You've been looking at her all evening. I see these kind of things."

I sighed.

"I don't like Cat..." I said and when she gave me a disapproving look I knew she wasn't going to be fooled.

"I love her."

Yeah. There it was. I loved Cat Valentine. And no matter how hard I tried I couldn't stop myself.

Margareth smiled.

"Is it really that easy to tell?" I asked.

She shook her head. "No... I guess I just have a gift for seeing stuff like that."

"Oh..." I felt guilty. "I'm really sorry Maggie. I didn't want it to be like this. I just. I messed up real bad."

"Robbie." She looked me in the eyes. "Don't worry. I actually knew from the beginning this wasn't going to work out. And to be honest. I think you're kind of annoying."

I laughed. "Right back at you."

I don't know why we found it funny. We had just insulted each other. If it had been a normal conversation we probably would've gotten angry and started screaming at each other by now. But we were just laughing.

"Do me a favor Robbie." Maggie said, suddenly serious.

I nodded.

"Don't ruin it for Cat. If you really love her then you should just be happy she's happy." She smiled again and stroked my arm slowly.

"It'll be alright."

And at that moment, I actually didn't think Maggie was that bad anymore.

AN: Believe it or not. This story is coming to its end. Hope you liked this chapter. Review if you like. But as you know; They make me awfully happy.
