The banging on the bathroom door snapped her out of her thoughts as the bloody blade clattered to the floor. In a rush she grabbed a paper towel and wet it a little bit then pressed it to the bloody cuts on her wrist. Wrapping it around her wrist, she pulled a jacket out of her bad and pushed her raw arms through the openings. Zipping up the bright pink jacket, she plastered her cheery grin on her face and unlocked the door.

An airy giggle escaped her lips as she walked passed a dark haired girl dressed in black who oddly seemed familiar. Not thinking anything about it, she started skipping in a random direction. Waving at the people she was passing, she disregarded their strange looks. This Cat didn't care what people thought of her. She just wanted them to not ask personal questions.

A familiar face came into view as her grin grew bigger. It was her child hood best friend Beck Oliver. "Beck! Beck! Beck!" she exclaimed coming to a hault in front of the fluffy haired boy.

His dark brown eyes growing wide as he noticed her red velvet hair, he pulled the tiny girl into a hug. "Hey, KittyCat," he said as a chuckle slipped out. "What'd you do to you're hair?"

Another airy giggle escaped as she smiled up at him. "I dyed it! Isn't it pretty! You could almost eat it!" she exclaimed excitedly. She hadn't seen him in a few months, seeing as he had moved across Hollywood three months before the end of their eighth grade year.

Leaning against the locker behind him, he crossed his arms, an amused grin plastered on his face. "Well, it's certainly... unique. Just like you KittyCat," He said as the dark haired girl from earlier walked up to the duo.

"Cat? I think you dropped this in the bathroom," she said holding up the now clean blade.

Eyes wide, smile faltering, she frantically shook her head. "N-no! That's not mine. Nope. Not mine. Why would I have a blade? Blades are bad!" she rambled not knowing what to say.

The dark haired girl narrowed her eyes, but let it go anyways. Walking to the trash can by the corner locker, she through the blade into the trash. Walking back to the duo, she looked back and forth between the two. "Beck, why didn't you come find me this morning?" she questioned in an angry tone.

Shrugging he turned back to the locker and put the combination in. Opening it he shoved his backpack into it. "Jade, I didn't know I was supposed to. You know I can't read your mind," he said dully.

As he said the name Jade, Cat's eyes widened as he remembered her from the park that day she went to meet up with him and his new friends.

~~FlashBack~~

Beck had been gone for only a few weeks, and she already missed him like crazy. Before, she would sneak over to his house so she wouldn't have to face her mother's wrath. Though he never knew why, he always welcomed her into his room with open arms.

Using the bus pass he had gotten her, she walked to the nearest bus stop and waited for the bus that would take her across the city to the park nearest Beck's new house. He had told her he wanted her to meet some people today.

The bus ride took around 30 minutes as it finally stopped at her stop. Giving the bus driver a smile, she stepped off and walked across the street to the park. Spotting her childhood best friend, a huge smile broke out on her face as she ran over. Stopping a few feet away from him, she noticed all the people around him.

His arm was around a brunette's shoulders, as they were laughing at what seemed like a joke told by a dark skinned boy, Beck's eyes flickered up to catch her own chocolate brown ones. Grinning, he motioned her over to join them. "Come on KittyCat! I want you to meet some people," he called over to her.

Taking a big gulp, she plastered a smile on her face and walked the rest of the way to the group. Taking his arm from the brunette girl's shoulder, he stood up and grabbed her wrist. "Everyone, I want you to meet the girl who I've spent the last ten years annoying. This is Cat Valentine," he introduced the shy little girl to the group. Pointing first to the Brunette girl, then the dark skinned boy, next the curly hair geeky boy, then a blonde girl, and a dark skinned girl. "This is Jade, Andre, Robbie, Hilari, and Megan."

Earning Hi's from the group, they went back to talking amongst their selves. The girl he pointed at called Jade just staring at her. Looking around, she sat in the only available seat as Beck walked back to Jade. Looking to her left and right, she noticed that the guys called Andre and Robbie were on either side of her talking over her.

Biting the inside of her lip she looked down at the ground, feeling uncomfortable with all these new people. Jumping slightly as someone touched her shoulder, she looked up into the dark eyes of Andre. "Hmm?" she asked not hearing what he had said.

"I asked you if you were going to be auditioning for H.A," he repeated flashing a smile.

"Oh, um, what is that?" she asked not knowing what he was talking about. She then sat there listening to what he what he had to say, eyes flashing over to where Beck and Jade were sitting every once and a while.

~~End FlashBack~~

Totally tuned out from their argument, she didn't notice the two boys and a puppet walk up beside her. A touch on her should caused her eyes to widen with fear before she realized it was just Andre.

"They at this again?" he asked quietly not even fazed by her change in hair color.

Nodding, she let out a small sigh before turning away from Beck and Jade. "Yeah. They are. I can't believe they are always fighting," she said softly. Andre and Robbie following her, she went in search of her locker.

"Hey Cat," Robbie finally worked up the courage to say. It was no secret that the geeky boy had a crush on her. They had become close friend during this past summer. But she simply did not feel anything but friendship towards the boy.

"Oh hey Robbie," she said as she turned her combination lock. The two boys had already visited their lockers before going in search of their friends. Leaning on either side of her locker she put her things up.

Bell ringing, she looked at the boys as they headed to their first class together. Andre leaned down and whispered in her ear," You'll be glad you decided to audition here. I know it."
