Chapter 2

"Beat"

Annes heart started beating really fast. What is this feeling. Why do I feel this way. No. I'm straight. I am. I like boys. Yep. 100% straight. Anne walked out of the resturant to see Catherine a few steps away,smoking a cigar. Anne walked up to Cathy. "Hey! You do know smokings bad for you right?!" Cathy looked at Anne,"And what are you gonna do about it?" Anne looked frustrated. "I'll do this!" Anne took the cigar out of Catherines hand and stomped it on the floor,unflaming it. "Hey!" Catherine turned to Anne and lead her to a corner. Their faces were inches apart,Catherine staring into Anne's eyes and vise versa. Catherine eventually gave up and pulled another cigar out of her pocket. "Whatever." Catherine started walking away as she started lighting the cigar. "And stop smoking!" Anne yelled out. "Not a chance!" She heard faintly. Why does Catherine smoke? What is fun about getting lung cancer? Oh yes,the sweet taste of death. Maybe it's a coping mechanism? It's a bad one if it is. Why am I even thinking of this? It's not like I..whatever. Kat and Cleves are waiting for me.

------------------------

What the hell just happened there Parr! You've never had this much confidence in your life! This is crazy. Catherine entered the house and Aragon started screaming. "Catherine! What have I said about smoking!?" Catherine rolled her eyes. "I'm an adult,I can do what I want with my body." "Woah wait,who are you and what have you done to Catherine." "Oh haha funny." "No seriously,what happened to the doormat I know and love?" Catherine stopped for a second "Is that all you think of me?! A doormat?!" "It's just an expressio-" "No. No. I'm obviously just an object that people can step on to get what they want." "Catherine-" "shut it. I'll be in my room. Not like you care."

-----------------------

I walk to the steps of the house and knock the door because for some reason the door was locked and I forgot the keys. I could hear a faint "Hold on!" from Cleves and then a bunch of shuffles and footsteps. Did she have someone over? Cleves opened the door and Anne walked in. Nothing looked out of place,so what was Cleves doing then? "Hey Cleves." "Yeah?" "What was all the shuffling I heard earlier?" Cleves stopped walking like she was tryna to come up with excuses. "It was nothing. Just..dropped something. That's all." "Honey,you can't use my own tricks against me. Explain." "what do you mean?" "Explain what you were doing here while I was gone?!" "Oh speaking of while you were gone,how was your lunch date?" "Oh don't get me STARTED! This girl has the AUDACITY to show up late and then leave early!" "well what happened?" "I arrive and I wait at least five minutes and she walks in late as hell and she has the audacity to-.." Anne began to turn red. "Ooooo what did she do!?" "She kissed me.." "Woah,what?!" "But I..don't like her okay Cleves! I'm 100% straight!" "Yeah and I'm not in love with Zendaya." Anne glared at Cleves "I'm just sayin. You like the girl." "Wrong." "How can you say I'm wrong when it's so obvious." "What-?" "It's so obvious dude!" "Is it really tha- NOPE I AM STRAIGHT! END DISCUSSION!" Anne ran up the stairs. "Whatever you say Jelly bean." Anne went to Kats room to see that the door was also locked. Wait what? This door is never locked. "KAT!? YOU ALRIGHT!?" "yeah..uhm..hold on.." Anne could hear Kat close her makeup bag. Kat barely opened the door,"Yes..?" "I just came to check on you. Are you hiding something?" Kats eyes widdened "Nope..nope..not at a..all!" Kat slammed the door,almost pinching Annes fingers with the door. Is everyone keeping something from me? Anne went to her room and paced back and forth. This is so weird. This whole thing was weird.

--------------------

Catherine layed down and stared at the dark ceiling that was her room. She heard a knock at the door. "Catherine..?" "What is it Aragon." Aragon opened the door. "Just wanted to apologise. I didn't mean what I said before." "It's fine."

*****

Catherine woke up with a headache,which happened alot. "Morning Parr." Catherine was still half asleep and didn't hear Aragon. She sat down and started reading. "Oi Parr!" Catherine looked up at Aragon,gaining consciousness. "I heard you talking in your sleep." Catherines eyes widdened. What could she had been saying while she was asleep. "You don't seem like the type to have those types a dreams but you do you." Catherine began to to turn red. "Now,whose Anne Boleyn?" Catherine stopped looking at Aragon when she said that. "ooooo so you're dodging my question? fine,two could play at this game." Suddenly,Aragons phone began to ring,she rushed to answer it. "Hey uhm." "Yeah yeah. I know." "What?" "Tonight?" "Alright. See you then." Aragon hung up the phone and Catherine couldn't help but pay attention to the one sided conversation. "Who was that?" "Who is Anne Boleyn?" Catherine glared at Aragon. "Ugh. Fine whatever. Don't answer me." Catherine ran up to her room and got ready.

*******

Catherine and Aragon walked to class because they lived on campus. Catherine saw Anne at the cafe and stopped in her tracks. She stared at the beautiful girl and couldn't stop. "Hey Parr!" Catherine didn't answer. "Parr!" Catherine came back to reality and saw that Anne was staring back at her. Anne waved hi and Catherine turned red. She ran up to Aragon and,"SOoooo~ That's Anne Boleyn?" Catherine didn't answer. "SO IT IS!" Catherine looked at Aragon and told her to shut up. They walked to class until they had to split because Aragon was a teaching major.

---------------

Kat and I always end up in the cafe before class starts. We never know how,we just always do. Kat went to order some coffee. I had to study some things I had for my minor,which was mechanical engineering. My dad only agreed for me to major in drama if I had a backup plan. I looked up from my book and saw Cathy staring at me. I waved hi but she ran off. It was weird. Kat came back with the coffees,it always took a while for Kat to get the coffees because she would stutter alot and then start to have a panic attack and Anne had to step in,so whenever Kat was able to order it by herself,Anne congratulated her. "Woah you did it yourself!" "Y..yep" "Nice job Kat! I'm proud of you." Kat smiled at Anne as they began drinking their coffees. "S..so w..who was that girl who was..looking at you..?" Annes pupils got smaller with fear. "It was..it was no one." Kat could notice a change in Annes tone. "Well..if you don't wanna..talk about it..i..i'm sorry for bringing it up.." "No no Kitty. It's fine. It's just some girl I went to lunch with." "oh.." "Anyways,I have to go. Will you be fine without me?" Kat looked down "M..maybe.." "If anything goes wrong,just call." "Ok.." Anne patted Kats head and went on her way. Anne made it a few steps before Kat called her. "What is it?" "Well...I feel safe when I'm..talking to you so.." "Kat what happened?" "Nothing..yet.." "Kitty-" "I know..I know..not to call you unless something happened.." "I'll talk to you later Kitty." "alright." Anne hung up the phone and continued walking. Anne was following the path that she saw Cathrine taking. She eventually caught up to Catherine and purposely bumped into her. "oh sorry!" "No no it's fine Anne." "So,Cathy,how's your day been." "It's been fine. You?" "It's been cool" "Well that's. Cool"

Anne could see Catherine shuffling in her pockets,looking frustrated. "What are you looking for?" "Ugh. My friend took out all of my cigarrettes from my jacket." "Well that's good,because smoking is bad." Catherine scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Whatever you say Bo Bo." Annes pupils got larger. "Bo Bo?" "Well,you call me Cathy,so I just thought-" "No no,it's fine." Anne smiled and they kept on talkin "Hey Anne." "Yeah?" "Why are you out this early anyways? Doesn't drama start at noon?" "Yes it does,but I have classes for my minor." "You have a minor?" "Yeah,did I not mention that?" "No,no you didn't." Anne laughed "Oops." "So what is your minor?" "Mechanical Engineering" "Oh so you're a nerd." Anne jokely punched Catherines shoulder. "I'm not a nerd." "Right." "You should talk,English major." "Ugh. I'm sorry I like english." Anne laughed. "Why mechanical engineering though?" "I don't know. I just like building stuff and stuff." "Alright." Anne noticed that Catherine had a weird tattoo close to her neck. "Hey what's that?" "Oh it's just my tattoo." "What is it about?" "It's very geeky." "What is it aboutttt" "Fine. It's just an Erudite symbol" "A what?" "It's from one of the first books I've read. It got me into writting fiction and writing in general." "Oh that's cool! "It is?" "Well yeah! It means alot to you and it's cool!" Catherine started to turn red. No one cared enough to talk to her,let alone about her tattoos. Anne noticed this and began rambling on how she also wants a tattoo. Eventually Catherine said,"I've got to go so.." Anne was sad that she had to leave but she got it. Anne waved bye and Catherine went on her marry way.
