Chapter 4: Cat's POV Tuesday
The next morning starts out the same as the previous day. It's not until I'm walking to school that I remember my mystery singer. I decide that I would go to the band room during lunch again and see if I can find him. Just before I walk into school I notice Josh leaning against the wall smoking. I watch as he exhales the smoke and notice that his tongue is pierced. I head over to talk to him.
"Hey Josh," I half-smile at him.
He looks up surprised and quickly puts the cigarette out. "Oh hey Cat," he smiles at me.
"You didn't have to put that out," I say walking over to lean next to him. I pull out my own pack of cigarettes and offer one to him. I look up to see him smirking at me.
"I didn't expect you to be a smoker," he replied quietly. I just smiled at him and lit both of our cigarettes. We spent the rest of the time before school just talking. I really liked Josh; he was the only person at this school I felt comfortable around. When the bell rang, Josh walked me to class just like yesterday. The rest of the morning was pretty boring.
As soon as the bell rang for lunch I walked to the band room, but I didn't hear any music. I waited outside the door the entire period, but my mystery singer never showed up.
Josh POV Tuesday
I walk to school in the morning, not wanting to deal with the assholes on the bus. I get there early so I stay outside to smoke. I lean back against the wall and gently breathe out the smoke. I'm lost in thought so I don't notice Cat walking over.
"Hey Josh." I look up surprised and quickly put out my cigarette.
"Oh hey Cat," I smile at her. I hope she won't say anything about my smoking.
"You didn't have to put that out," she says walking over to lean next to me. She pulls out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket and offers me one. I just smirk at her.
"I didn't expect you to be a smoker," I replied quietly. She just smiled at me and lit both of our cigarettes. We spent the rest of the time before school just talking. I really liked Cat; it was nice to have one person at this school who didn't judge me. When the bell rang, I walked her to class just like yesterday. The rest of the morning was pretty boring. I spent lunch that day just sitting in the band room writing songs.
