CHAPTER 4:The Suspicious Gang

The gang arrived at the lunch table where they usually sat. They saw that Robbie didn't look happy at all.

"Hey. What's up dude?", Andre asked, concern in his tone

"Where's Cat?", Tori added

"I tried to get her to sign up for this contest and she just ran away! Crying!", Robbie stated, confused

"You made Cat cry?!", Jade exclaimed angrily

"I-I didn't mean to!", Robbie stuttered, hunching

"See what happens when you pressure people into doing things they don't want to do?!", Jade said furiously, grabbing a pair of scissors from her pocket

"Jade!", Tori exclaimed

"You are not hurting Robbie with a pair of your scissors!", Beck said, sternly

"Whatever! I'm going to find Cat!", Jade said, storming off with her scissors

Jade went to where students usually hid when they were experiencing problems; the Janitors Closet. She found Cat seated on the floor sobbing.

"Cat"

"Hi", she managed to reply through her sobs

"What's the matter?", Jade asked, kneeling down to Cat

"I don't want to sing in the contest"

"Why not, Cat?"

"I-I can't do it. It's too much stress"

"You've handled all performances beautifully so far. How is this different?"

Cat continued sobbing.

"Cat?"

"What? Where am I again?", Cat asked, confused

"We're in the Janitors Closet. Now I know you may be nervous about such professionals judging your performance, but just try your best and have fun, okay? It's just like any other performance you've ever done."

"No it's not! This is serious Jade! I might become famous!", Cat exclaimed hysterically

"Woah! And that's a bad thing?", Jade asked, confused

"Yes! I don't want to be famous! I just love to perform, okay?!", Cat exclaimed, losing her breath

And with that, Cat stormed out of the Janitors Closet.

Jade felt guilty for pushing Cat over the rails, especially after how she treated Robbie when he probably had good intentions too. They both wanted to help Cat, but to do that, they had to find out what was really going on. Cat wouldn't get that upset about becoming famous when she had chosen not to be in the ballgame in the first place.

Jade was going to find out what really pushed Cat over the edge...
