My nerves have been fairly racked ever since the Robbie incident. Especially since Beck and Andre have been keeping such a close eye on both him and me lately. every time we have a class together, the two of them always make sure Robbie is sitting way off in the corner or something. Also, Jade always stays an arm's length away from me at all times. I feel like I have some sort of twenty-four hour bodyguard system like the president does. Though, I think I'd be safe enough with just Jade guarding me; Beck and Andre are just the intimidation factor. Well, more Andre than Beck. I don't know if you've noticed, but Beck is kind of scrawny. Don't tell him I said that!

You know how I said that Beck and Andre keep putting distance between me and Robbie? Well, as we're sitting in Sikowitz's class, Robbie stands up and walks over to me from his little corner, leaving Rex on the chair he had been sitting in. Beck was helping Sikowitz with something and Andre had went to the bathroom.

"Hey there Cat." he said as he sat down, giving me a welcoming smile.

"Hey hey."

A slight awkward silence filled the air, leaving me kind of uncomfortable with the situation. You know, know that I think of it… I don't understand what the big deal is. I mean, yeah, he had a slight moment of anger. So? don't we all? Just look back on Robbie's history, he's never gotten into any sort of fights at school or anything like that. In fact, for as long as I've known Robbie, he's one of the sweetest kids I know. Aren't we all entitled to at least one outburst?

I mean, I think I've had an outburst once. Given I was five years old and my friend had pushed me off the trampoline. So, I'm pretty sure I was allowed to be mad at her. I got over it though.

"So what have you been doing lately?" he asked.

I told him about a pony ride that Jade had taken me on a few days ago and how we played Baby Golf afterwards. He didn't seem very interested in the story, but I told him anyway. As I told him about how Jade hit the manager of the Baby Golf course over the head with the golf club, Beck walked up to us. Arms crossed and scowl set, he didn't look all that pleased with the situation at hand. Andre soon came in after him.

"Dude… Haven't we talked about this?"

As soon as the words left Beck's mouth, Robbie started stuttering. I looked over to him to see trembling hands and nervous eyes. I swear, I've never seen anything so pitiful in my entire life.

"Guys…" All eyes turned towards me. Jade walked up behind the two boys and glared at Robbie as she saw him. "Well, can't we just forgive him."

I sigh of relief came from Robbie as groans came from the others. Jade, Beck, and Andre looked at me as if I had lost my mind. I don't understand why they can't see the situation like I can.

"Cat, do you seriously think we could forgive him?" Jade asked me. "I mean, I'm not even sure how you are."

"Think about it, Cat. Imagine if you were us. How would you handle this?"

"Yeah, Lil' Red. Seeing as how he hasn't even given you a legit apology."

"Actually," Robbie started "That's kind of what I wanted to do. I wanted to apologize. I know you guys might be kind of reluctant, well, because of how things blew over last time, but…"

"Now what makes you think we can trust you?" Andre asked.

"Well… I don't know. Sometimes… you just have to take a chance on people, I guess. You have to trust them."

"Stop being such a mushball!" Rex shouted from across the room.

I'm not sure if the others heard it, but Robbie was sounding pretty sincere to me. Now, of course, it could've just been him acting like he was sincere, but he's not all that good of an actor. No offense to him or anything.

With a few conversational glances, it seemed that my three friends had come to a conclusion. A little half smile rose on Beck's face as he reached a hand out to Robbie. An even bigger smile spread across Robbie's lips as he took the hand and shook it, feeling accepted once again. Jade let out a soft scoff and walked away from our small group. Andre seemed a bit unsure about the whole thing, seemingly not wanting to give into Robbie all that easily. But, if I knew Andre, he would get over it soon enough. He always does.

"You got one more chance." Andre told him. "But just one!"

With an understanding smile, Robbie grabbed his hand and shook it, just as he did with Beck's. Andre gave him a small smile back and reciprocated the handshake.

"Alright class, let's do some acting!" Sikowitz shouted from the front of the room, making the whole class jump.

And with that, Robbie went back to his seat in the corner with Rex, letting Andre take the one he had been in. The class went on as it usually does, as did the rest of the day. Robbie went back to sitting with us at lunch, even though Jade and Tori didn't seem to like it all that much. During the whole entire lunch period, they both kept glaring over at Robbie, as if to make sure he didn't do anything. All the icey glares Robbie had been receiving were making him sit with a stiff posture, always seeming to be watching his back. Making sure no one came up behind him or anything, he kept turning around, just to make sure. Even though I shouldn't be thinking that his discomfort was funny, I couldn't stop myself from giggling every time he flinched at the sound of his name being called.

AN I hope you liked this! Did you have any favorite parts? What do you think will happen next? Tell me what you thought :]

I feel the need to explain my writing process… You see, I have three notebooks, each one acts like a filter. The first one is where I write down the first draft of each story/chapter, then that get's copied down into the next notebook, where I add a little bit of flare and extra description. Then, after it's down in the second notebook, I put it in the third one, which is where I check for spelling mistakes. And last, but not least, I type it into the computer. Now, you have to bare with my keyboard, though, because I have this extremely old laptop and the keys are all junky, causing me to skip letters sometimes. Meaning, I might have some typos here and there.
