When Beck went back to school he attracted a great deal of attention. He was getting smiles from everyone that he me, not the "Hi how are you, beautiful day isn't it" type smile but more of the "how was it" or "you lucky dog" smiles. Obviously Trina had spread the word of her exploits with Beck.

Jade was amused at first, then found that a well placed snarl on her part was enough to change the situation, at least while she was looking...In the end though, no real harm was done. Trina's reputation was enhanced some, Beck's could not be any higher, Trina just being another notch on his belt, the only really interesting speculation was why Jade allowed Beck to stray one night. There was all sorts of speculation on that one, but knowing Jade not one person had the courage to ask her about it.

Beck noticed, however that one particular pair of brown eyes were staring at him more often these days, and this concerned him. He was fairly sure that these eyes were not congratulating him on his exploits or questioning his choice of partners. He was going to have to find out what was going on, and do it the old fashioned way, ask.

His opportunity came when he was between classes one day and this person stayed behind in an empty room writing in her notebook. Beck slipped in and locked the door behind him so they would not be disturbed.

He sat down in one of the chairs and waiting to be noticed.

Cat: If you need the room I will be done in a moment.

Beck: That's all right, take your time.

Cat looked up from her work at beck and blushed bright red.

Cat: What are you doing here?

Beck: You have been staring at me the last few days like you want to ask me something, so I thought I would give you the chance.

Cat: I don't know if I can.

Beck: Cat we are friends, you can ask me anything.

Cat: Would I have to be wet and in a bathrobe for you to have sex with me?

Beck: Cat! Where did that come from?

Cat: From right here.

Beck: No I mean why would you ask me something like that?

Cat: Because no one has ever wanted to have sex with me and I wondered why.

Beck: First of all Cat that cannot be true that no one wants to have sex with you. I mean look at you, you have a very pretty face a cute figure, and beautiful legs. Guys have wanted to have sex with much less desirable girls.

Cat: Then why hasn't anyone asked me?

Beck: Robbie has never asked you to make out with him?

Cat: Well yes but that is not the same thing.

Beck: It's a start.

Cat: But Robbie is just Robbie. Beck you are every girl's dream, and to have my first time be done with you would be so fantastic….

Beck: Ok, Cat, Jade is your best friend right?

Cat: I think so.

Beck: So I want you to talk to Jade. If she says it is ok, then I will be happy to have sex with you.

Cat ran off to find Jade.

Beck watched her go, she is so cute, he thought, I really hope Jade says no.

Jade was at the asphalt café sipping on a coffee when a little red bolt of lightning struck.

Jadeee Cat was yelling as she jumped into a seat next to her dark friend.

Jade: Cat, I told you not to call me that in public.

Cat: Sorry.

Jade looked up at her little friend and knew she could never stay mad at her. She loved Cat like a little sister and felt very protective of her.

Cat: I was just talking with Beck and I asked him to do something and he said I needed to get you ok first.

Jade: Ok what is it, that Beck feels is so important he can't handle himself?

Cat: I asked him to have sex with me.

Jade's coffee flew out of her mouth and nose simultaneously.

Jade: You want what!

Cat was now on the verge of tears, she realized she really upset Jade.

Jade grabbed Cat and was hugging her little friend tightly.

Jade: You listen to me Cat Valentine; you are my best friend and the only one that is still pure and sweet. I don't want you throwing yourself at just any guy, I want you to save yourself for someone special who is worthy of you.

Cat: I was thinking of Beck.

Jade: Absolutely not!

Cat, but why not, you let Trina have him.

Jade: Ok, first, Beck is not a virgin, he has nothing to lose. Second, Trina may or may not be a virgin but it doesn't matter because I don't really like her, so I don't care about her. You I care about. I am not going to let you throw yourself away just for fun with Beck.

Cat: What about Robbie?

Jade: Robbie is harmless, not too bright but he really does like you. If you want to date someone, date Robbie, but please Cat don't throw yourself at him. If he cares about you he will wait.

Cat gives Jade a big hug.

Cat: Thanks Jadey,

Jade: Don't call me …never mind, you're welcome. I know you are going to do what you want, but just be careful.

Cat: I will Jadey.

The next day at school Cat made her move. She found Robbie in the hallway and casually strode up to him.

Cat: Hi Robbie

Robbie: Oh hi Cat, how are you?

Cat: Fine, you heard about Trina and Beck right?

Robbie: Yes, that was something, who knew that Beck had a thing for wet girls in bathrobes?

Cat: So you wouldn't have been interested?

Robbie: It depends on the girl.

Cat: Well it just so happens that I bought a new bathrobe and I am going to try it out after my bath tonight, if you want to come over.

Robbie: Sure Cat, I will be there.

Cat: About seven o'clock don't be late.

Robbie: I'll be there.

When Cat got home that afternoon, she prepared a nice warm bathe for herself and had a great time. She got out, applied her makeup and some perfume and then tried on her new bathrobe. I was pink, like everything else in her room an stopped about mid thigh, tying closed in the front with a simple sash and was low cut enough to add some intrigue. Cat felt good about herself and excited and sat down and waited for Robbie.

At exactly seven Robbie showed up at Cat's doorstep. He had stopped at the Florist and had a dozen long stemmed pink roses because he knew pink was Cat's favorite color. He rang the bell and his eyes bugged out when he saw Cat standing there.

Cat: Hi Robbie.

Robbie: Hi Cat, you look gorgeous in that!

Cat: Coquettishly, Thank you kind sir. The nice thing about it is that if you pull right here, (she indicates the sash knot) the whole thing opens and falls off.

Robbie: Oh I will have to try that. Robbie steps forward to untie the sash, it is a little tighter than he expects and as he pulls on it Cat comes with it and they bump heads. Cat falls back on her chair while Robbie starts falling toward the floor. He puts out his hand to try to grab something to stop his fall and knocks over the lamp which hits the floor before him and shatters. Robbie lands hard cutting himself on the pieces of the lamp and his arm folds under him and the bone gives way.

Cat: Oh my god Robbie, are you alright?

Robbie: Not really, I think you need to call an ambulance...

Cat grabs the phone and calls and within moments Robbie is being loaded into an ambulance and is on his way to the hospital.

Cat dials her friend Jade:

Jade: Cat; is the big date all over already? What happened?

Cat: Jade, Robbie is hurt; he is on his way to the hospital!

Jade: Stay calm, cat, Beck and I are on the way.

Cat sits back down to wait for Beck and Jade, as she does she notices that a teen magazine has been knocked off the table and is lying open on the floor. The article it is opened to is call," Safe Sex for Everyone". I guess I should have read that first, Cat thought.
