Red is my favorite color

Welcome

Cats POV

I didn't think I'd see her again, this school was huge, so I thought I could be brave. Brave enough to do something I'd never do in my life. I just counted to three and kissed her. Just an innocent kiss on the cheek it didn't have to mean anything and it was a thank you for helping me with Sikowitzs' drive by exercise, but I couldn't deny how my heart beat rose and my lips tingled. Her blue eyes fluttered open, a blush creeping onto her cheeks, and her cute dazed expression.

I let it slip that we had met before but she probably doesn't even remember. It's not like we held a conversation or even met officially. Why do I have to be so dumb?

Fast forwarding to class I was almost late coming in but I quickly took my seat when I noticed Sikowitz wasn't even here yet. I tried to calm my heart rate as I bit down onto my lower lip.

"Cat stop doing that." Looking to my side I could see my best friend giving me a concerned look. "What did Robbie do now? You're never like this unless Robbie does something weird." She sounded angry and it was understandable she always felt like Robbie would take advantage of me at times.

"It's nothing bad...I-I kissed someone Jadey, and I think I liked it..." Jade's eyes seemed to be burrowing into the side of my skull. I could see her shocked expression, her eyebrow raised, and mouth slightly open. She stood up quickly getting impatient at my silence, pulling me up, and dragging me out of the classroom. Jade started to pace with her coffee in her hands and when she'd stop she'd look up at me and take a sip of her coffee and continue. It was an endless loop, and it was driving me insane as if I wasn't nervous already.

"Who was it Cat?" Jade yelled, throwing her coffee cup into a trash can nearby. "Do you know them at least?" I couldn't tell if she was angry or just curious, Jade could be hard to read at times, and she was usually in a bad mood but I know she cared about me a lot.

Twirling my hair between my fingers I glanced at her not wanting to fully make eye contact. "Sikowitz did a drive by scene and I well... kind of got a little too excited...they're new here..."

"Cat, I want a name NOW" Jade took her time dragging out each word as she walked towards me making me back up with every step she took. I let out a squeak when I felt the wall behind me.

"Jade! Leave Cat alone, I swear you treat her like a child." Beck showed up at just the right time. I didn't know how much more of Jade I could take without spilling everything, and I didn't think I was ready to say just yet. He combed his hand through his perfect dark locks and gave me a reassuring smile.

"One, this is none of your business. Two, why are you always on her side? And Three, I just want to know who this person is so just in case they turn into a psychotic stalker at least we know about it before things escalate." I hated watching Jade and Beck fight and recently they had been fighting all the time.

"I don't want to get into another argument right now. I'm exhausted from doing this every day, sometimes I even wonder if it's even-" Beck caught himself and stopped before he said anything more. "Shit that's not what I-"

"If it's even what? Finish it...come on I'm a big girl I can handle it." Jade turned her gaze and attention towards Beck giving me the opportunity to move further away and closer to the door. "You know what? You don't even have to answer that because I'm done. For real this time." Jade rushed off down the hall and Beck just let out a sigh.

"B-beck? Are you okay?" I loved them both so much but I had a feeling what Jade had said might've been for real this time. They've been wavering recently and I think they were ready to take a break.

"Yeah, I'm alright kid." Patting my head he walked past me opening the door to the classroom. "Go ahead, sorry for doing that in front of you." His forehead was creased and his lips tugged down into a frown. He was probably trying so hard not to show anymore of his emotions as he held the door open for me. It broke my heart seeing him so down and I could only imagine what Jade must be feeling like right now.

The late bell rang throughout the school as I took my seat again. It seemed empty in class without Jade, and Tori wasn't here to distract me either. Snuggling more into my seat I felt like someone was staring at me. I just wanted this day to be over with.

"Okay class as some of you may have experienced I'm starting this year off with some drive by exercises to gauge your ability to improvise and do on the spot acting." Sikowitz walked around sipping his coconut as he lectured on the importance of being in character and feeling confident while acting.

I couldn't shake the feeling of being stared at and I decided to look around a little more scanning the room. The only suspicious thing I could see was Robbie turning away when we made eye contact. The door swung open quickly and my attention went from Robbie to the people walking through the door. A girl with dark long hair walked through letting Sikowitz know that Tori was taking care of Jade and that they'd be back to class shortly. It didn't take me long to realize who these new people were. They were famous all over for their web-show Carly, followed by Freddie as he walked through the door, and finally her. My stomach flipped and I turned back around so fast hoping she didn't see me.

I wish that my chair would just swallow me whole making me disappear. Just my luck she'd be in my class after our drive by scene this morning and even more our short little cheek kiss.

I was probably making it a bigger thing than it was. Sam probably didn't even care, maybe she just thought I had been acting still. Why did I have to over analyze everything I did?

"Welcome to the class! Come on up and introduce yourselves." Great now there's no way I can hide. They walked up onto the stage standing awkwardly in front of everyone. Like they even needed to introduce themselves if you ever watched their show you'd know. Sam's eyes scanned the classroom and students and as she worked her way to where I was sitting I was hoping she'd just scan right over me. I tried looking everywhere except at her but my eyes refused to look away. As she looked back at me, I could see her cheeks darken to a pink. I was too hopeful that she would forget so soon after it had happened. "Go ahead and take your seats and we will start the next lesson."

A/N
I thought it'd be nice to get some of Cat's P.O.V in this story so I'm going to be doing both hopefully there will be a pattern but for right now I think I'll switch for important events so I can cover both of their perspectives.
