Cat's POV:
I walked out of the beach house, running down to the water in my dark purple sunglasses and neon orange bikini. I turned around, the wind whipping at my hair and ankles. I smiled and waved to everyone, as they were just getting out the door. They all smiled back, and ran down to meet me. They were all in such a good mood, even Jade seemed pleased. I giggled giddily, as Robbie started splashing around. This of course made everyone else start splashing too, and soon we had water flying everywhere. I covered my eyes with my hands and squealed.
This is going to be an amazing summer.
2 weeks ago, at lunch:
"Hey guys!" I said, sitting down beside Robbie and Jade.
"Hey Cat." Said everyone else, except for Rex. I think he might be mad at me, because he never talks to me anymore.
"I can't believe school's ending tomorrow." Tori said, obviously sad about it.
"Thank god." Said Jade, stabbing her salad. I flinched just looking at her, pouting a little.
"Why are you sad, Jade?" I asked, worried.
"I'm not sad, I'm anxious. I just want this year to end already." Jade replied, dropping her fork.
"I don't!" Tori said.
"Why not?" Andre asked.
"Because, I'm going to have nothing to do. And Trina probably won't be busy either, so it's a whole 3 months stuck with her."
"Aww." I said, pouting again.
"Then fly to Cuba." Jade said, stabbing her salad again.
Tori looked like she was about to start arguing, but stopped herself.
Everyone exchanged glances, and Jade looked up, wide-eyed.
"It was a joke. Besides, what are we gonna do, spend a hundred thousand dollars to stay at a hotel in Cuba for three months?" Jade said, getting a little anxious.
It was silent, and Tori looked disappointed. I sighed, and drank some of my water.
"My parents have a beach house on Las Brujas." Beck said, shrugging.
"Where's that?" Rex asked, looking around. I giggled. I think Rex thinks it's here. That's so silly.
"It's in Villa Clara, Cuba. I'm sure my parents would let us crash there for the summer." Beck said, as if it was the most normal thing in the whole universe.
Everyone smiled, and cheered.
"Wait, so were really going to Cuba?" Robbie said, smiling wide. Rex was jiggling up and down on his leg.
"Whoa whoa whoa, hold up guys. This is insane, we can't just jump on a plane and fly to Cuba. I mean, how are we going to get the money for it? I'm sure our parents won't be very cool with all of us leaving the country to some beach house without supervision." Jade said. I pouted at her salad, which looked like soup now. I didn't even think that was possible.
"Well, maybe we could tell them it's a school trip." Tori said.
"You really think they would buy that?" Robbie asked.
"Well, sure. I mean, if we come up with a good enough plan." Tori replied.
"Wait, one problem. If we tell them it'll be a school trip, they might expect Trina to go. And if we don't warn Trina about the plan, she will tell them there is no such thing." Beck said. Pooey.
Everyone sat there, staring at the table. I started to play with my hair, not really sure why everyone was so quiet.
"Well I'm not going if that freak of a.." Jade started to say, but got interrupted by Trina herself. I laughed at Jade's face. She's so funny when she pouts. I tried to imitate her pout, but ended up giggling too much. Jade just looked at me weird, which made me giggle even more.
"Tori and friends! Look at this top. Is this top not the most adorable thing you've ever seen?" Trina asked, posing around for us. I giggled, not really getting how a shirt can be adorable, but nodding anyways.
Everyone else just mumbled along with things like, 'Yea sure..' or Jade's 'Nobody likes you..'.
"So, what are you all talking about?" Trina asked, getting closer.
"Oh just, stuff." Tori said, smiling kind of weird. I wondered why she didn't tell Trina our plan. Oh well, I guess I can tell her.
"Were all going to Cuba for the summer. But were going to pretend it's a school trip so our parents will let us go." I said, smiling widely.
Everyone groaned and said my name, and I just pouted.
"What?" I asked. They are all so mean sometimes..
"Cuba? I wanna come. Oh, I'll have to get a new bathing suit. I wonder how hot it is there.." Trina said, while walking off.
"Nice going Cat." Rex said. I gasped, and looked at everyone, only to see a group of sad faces.
"What did I do?" I asked, a little scared.
"We didn't want Trina to come." Tori said, with an annoyed face.
"Oh." I said. Why don't they want Trina along?
"Well, I'm not going." Jade said.
"Come on Jade. You don't have to be near her. All you have to do is have fun. It's a pretty big beach." Beck said.
"No. Absolutely not. I've had enough of her. Besides, I was going to spend my summer away from all of you anyways." Jade said, getting up and heading for her car.
Everyone just looked at each other. Then they all broke out into smiles. I giggled, not really understanding.
We all spent the next few days planning stuff. Then we started packing and such, and in 2 weeks into summer we were at the beach house.
Present time:
I looked at Beck. He was laughing and splashing around. I've never seen him so happy before. I thought he would be sad here, without Jade around. I wonder how he's going to take it, being away from his girlfriend for 3 months.
That night I changed into gray shorts and a dark blue shirt with 'Hollywood Arts' on the front. Everyone else was asleep, and I decided to go around the house, finding where everything was ahead of time. I tiptoed out of my room, careful not to wake Tori up.
I looked into the room beside the one I was staying in. Robbie, Andre, Beck and Rex were all sharing that room. I saw Rex, Robbie and Andre asleep, but Beck wasn't there. I got a little worried, but didn't think too much about it.
As I walked along I saw 2 bathrooms, the kitchen, a really expensive looking room and a mini-living room. After that I came to the back door. The lights outside were on, so I stepped out. Beck was on a hammock, tapping at his leg with a pair of drum sticks. His plaid black and white pants and gray v-neck 'Hollywood Arts' T-shirt made me giggle. I've never seen him dress like that before. He turned around then, but quickly looked back at his hands again.
"Cat, what are you doing here?" Beck asked.
"I was looking around the house. It's beautiful." I said, smiling.
"Thanks." He said. He stopped tapping and looked up.
"Is something wrong?" I asked, stepping a bit closer but keeping my distance.
"It's nothing, don't worry about it." He said.
"No, I wanna know." I said, starting to get worried.
A long time passed by until he just sighed, and held out his phone.
"Here." He said.
I took the phone and what appeared on the screen was a text conversation between him and Jade.
Jade: I can't believe you left without me
Beck: You told me you didn't wanna go. Besides, that comment you made at the lunch table was pretty mean.
Jade: What comment?
Beck: The one where you said that you wanted to spend your summer away from everyone. So, whatever. You got what you wanted.
Jade: Yea, everyone but you. Or so I thought. But you know what, I don't need you. Were done.
Beck: Jade, your over exaggerating.
Jade: Am I? Because your the one who left. So were done. Bye.
I looked at Beck, slowly giving his phone back.
"I'm sorry." I said, feeling sad now.
"It's okay. I mean, I'm a little sad, but it will probably be okay. I'm not going to let her ruin my summer." He said, smiling a little at me.
I giggled back, and just stood there. The air was warm and musky. I looked around, clapping my hands together lightly.
"Do you, wanna sit down?" He asked, not meeting my gaze.
"Um.." I said, looking around. I didn't see a chair anywhere."Where? Is there a chair around somewhere?"
"No, I meant, on the hammock." He said, tapping away at his leg again.
"Oh.." I said, a little uncomfortable. But I shrugged it off. It wasn't that big of a deal.
"Sure." I replied, going over and laying on the spot he cleared for me.
I looked up at the stars. He had put his drumsticks in his pocket and was looking at the stars too.
"Look, it's the little dipper." He said, pointing at the sky.
I saw it and squealed silently, and laughed a little.
"I see it! And ooh, there's the big one!" I said, feeling a warm feeling spreading through me as I heard him laugh.
We spend the rest of the night like that, pointing out constellations and having a great time. It must have been 2 a.m. until I finally fell asleep, smiling.
Hey guys. So, this is my new series. For all of you who read my old series, Red Velvet Cupcakes, you know that I quit in the middle of that series. I feel really bad about that. But I was going through some hard times then, but those times are over and it's summer, so hey, why not write a new story? I have a really good feeling about this story. Also, my old name was CstArx, but I changed it to CookieeDough. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this series! The next chapter should be coming up soon. Also, reviews are extremely appreciated.
