"Beck."
Silence.
"Beck."
Silence.
"BECK!"
Said boy snapped out of his trance, and looked up.
"What do you think of this dress?" Angelica asked while observing herself in the mirror.
"Oh… uh.. it's pretty."
The blonde roller her eyes and placed her manicured hands on her hips. "You said that the last four times."
"I spoke the truth."
Rolling eyes again. "Oh, whatever." She went back into her dressing room.
Ignoring the last remark, Beck leaned back into his chair, returning to his deep thinking.
That was, until a little red head spotted him.
"Hiii Beckkk!"
He looked up, "Oh hey, Cat. What brings you here?"
"Trying on clothes, of course. It's not like this is the bathroom, silly," She laughed.
"Haha, you're right." He leaned further into his chair, and returned to his thinking.
"So there was this one time, I really needed to go to the bathroom, 'cause I drank too many Groovy Smoothies. There was only one stall open, and when I ran up to open it, there was an old granny in there!"
"Uh-huh."
"She was like, 'Too much of dem Tacos on a Stick!' " She did an old woman impression then laughed.
"Uh-huh."
Cat puffed. "Beck, are you even listening?"
"Uh-huh."
The girl sighed again, then sat down in the chair next to him. "You must be bummed about Jade."
He snapped his attention back to the girl next to him. "No, no way. Why would you think that? Impossible."
"You're a pretty bad liar for an actor," she twirled the end of her hair around her finger, "but you know, I know how Jade is feeling. She tells me everything."
His eye brows raised in interest, "Oh really?"
"Yep."
Silence.
"Uhm, do you wanna tell me?"
Cat looked at him, "OH." She smiled obliviously. "No."
"Anddd why not?"
"Because I can't."
"Why not?"
"'Cause you shouldn't deserve to know, especially after what you did to her," her eyebrows furrowed, "you were a big meanie. Like the guy that ran over my dog, Fish, when I was Eight. " She sniffed and looked down. "And besides, you must have done something really bad to get her to start disliking you so much."
He raised his eyebrows. She gasped and put her hand over her mouth.
"I've said too much. I've got to go."
"Wai-"
"Beck! How about this- oh, hi Cat," Angelica emerged from the fitting room, then forced a smile at the girl next to Beck.
Cat waved quickly, frowned, then darted into the fitting room herself.
Beck sunk further in his chair. "I don't care, I really don't care if she's mad."
"Beck! What are you mumbling about? I can't hear you."
"I don't care, I really don't care," he continued under his breath, trying to convince himself.
"BECK!"
"I DON'T CARE!" He stood up and raised his voice, causing a couple people to look at him.
Angelica looked at him, surprised with the sudden outburst.
"Meet me at the car when you're done." He stormed off.
I don't care. I can't care. Jade nothing to me anymore.
