My "brother" Luke

Had practice for Cinderella III today. Went okay. Had to sing. Luke Stradder came to watch, for once. I was surprised. Have I ever mentioned Luke before? He's my brother. Yeah, I know that my last name is Rae and his is Stradder, and no, I did not get married because I'm only thirteen and what kind of slut gets married at age thirteen? Apart from maybe in the olden days. But I wasn't there then! Plus, I'm pretty sure they were forced to get married back then. Anyway, I'm not talking in biological brother and sister, Luke is my other best friend apart from Elyz. After I was done with rehearsals, Luke came up to me.

"Nice act. Didn't think you would be that good." He said.

"What's that supposed to mean, huh Luke?" I questioned him.

"Nothing. Sorry." Luke grinned. 

"Oh, Luke." I sighed.

"I know what you're gonna say next." Luke smiled.

"What?" I said.

"Oh," Luke mimicked me in a totally false way. "Luke, you know I love you in the best friend way, not the BF GF way."

"I always say that, though." I told him.

"Exactly. We've known each other since we were four. I know you so well." Luke said.

"Yeah, you're like my brother."

"Am I?" Luke asked, amused.

"Yes. Yes, you are."

Oh yeah! I'm finally over Jase!

Jase has been avoiding me all day. No surprises there, seeing as if I were the one who had pulled that trick, I'd be avoiding Jase too.

Today I decided to leave Lialla "fan mail" by writing all over her locker. Yes, I know that's sinking low, but I couldn't help myself. Plus, her expression was totally worth it when she saw that an anonymous someone had written the word "Liar" all over her locker. Normally, to normal people like you and me, we would have just sighed and scraped it off. But since she's over dramatic Lialla she screamed in the middle of the hallway and went "FAN MAIL IS SUPPOSED TO BE NICE!!!! I HATE YOU PEOPLE SO MUCH AAAGH!" and a bunch of other words I can't be bothered writing. She probably also went into some sort of breakdown meltdown at lunch or something.

Meanwhile at lunch, I was telling Elyz about how stupid I was for falling for their trick. Believe it or not, Elyz just LAUGHED. Laughed and called me stupid for falling for something that suspicious.

She had said, "Pathetic. How could you..? Just stupid. And I thought you were the smart one!"

"But Elyz!" I pleaded. "It's not fair! You know how much I liked him!"

"Wait." Elyz stopped. "You don't like him anymore?"

"Duh, what do you think?" I asked her, dead serious.

"Oh. Well. I still like my crush." Elyz said.

That didn't make sense. Her crush changes all the time.

Chapter-what am I up to? Ugh, never mind about those. This is why I haven't written in a while.

Tuesday 21st August

So I haven't written for a while, because

1) I am mad at Jase
2) I am also mad at Lialla. I was actually starting to think she may be nice.
3) At school we are doing the school play on Cinderella III: A Twist in Time and everyone has to audition for a part, but not everyone is guaranteed to get a part.
4) I got the part of Cinderella for some odd reason (probably because Elyz made me audition for that part and that part only)

And yes, I do have to sing I Still Believe by Hayden Panettiere.

Chapter Four: Storms are brewing

Sunday, 12th August

I had this following conversation with Elyz on IM today

EpicElyz: OMG WHO M I 2 HOLD U BAK???? GO GIRL
CreamColouredCathy:  ur da best friend ever

EpicElyz: thx gtg

At noon, Jase's mom, Jase, his best friend Tyler and Tyler's girlfriend Shanika pulled up at my house. Jase came to the doorstep to greet me personally even though I was halfway down the driveway.
"Hey, Cathy." Jase smiled in a casual way, but it turned my insides into sugary sweet syrup.
"Hi...Jase..." I said
"Hey, you gonna get in the car?" He asks.
"Of course." I said.

We had a great time at the beach. Well mostly.
This is what happened, roughly.

"Hey Cathy I got us ice cream." Jase offered.
"You really are too nice, Jase." I said.
"Just take one, I'm not gonna stand here eating one of them while watching the other one melt into the sand." Jase holds them out to me. "I got one strawberry, one chocolate."
"Um, OK, strawberry, please." I took the cone.
"So...um."

"Hey, where's Kassi? I kinda thought she'd be here." I asked.

"Kassi? Oh yeah, I broke up with her."

"Oh."

Skip to a few hours later...

"Ahem, hello babe!" A mean voice said from behind me and Jase. We were sitting on a bench looking out to the ocean. We decided not to swim because a thundercloud was peering around the horizon.

"Uhm." Me and Jase spun around zippy quick.

"Jase, are you seeing this girl behind my back?" Kassi sniffed.

"Kassi, what are you-"

"Doing here? Let's just say I always have a sixth sense when it comes to your location." She smirked.

"Is that called a stalker's GPS?" I asked.

Jase laughed. 

The thundercloud tore and released a light rain.

"Baby, you're with me, not this RAT GIRL." Kassi sneered. "Aren't you?" She gave him no time to answer. Instead, she simply walked up to him and smushed her mouth on Jase's. I think she gave him a tongue-in-the-mouth as well, but Jase appeared to be doing nothing about it. The thundercloud ripped some more and broke into a heavy rain. Great. It's a book. The Romantic Rain Kiss: Kassi and Jase.

"Jase!" I shrieked. "How could you? You lied!" I shouted.

"Catherine! It's not what you think!" Jase cried.

" 'Said every single guy in the history of cheaters!' " I finished for him. "Face it. You're a cheater." Apparently, the thundercloud wanted to shout too, and screamed in stormy rain.

I stomped away. Not only was there a storm going on out here, but there was a storm going on in my heart as well.

And that, my people, concludes my "happy happy day" with Jase "The Cheater" Fexenburg.

Chapter Three: The Jase Excitement

Saturday, 11th August

This entry also takes place in school, also by the lockers. This happened before lunch on Friday.

Oh, and I know I made a mistake on my first entry calling Lialla Johnson Liala Thompason, but it's not my fault, ok. I have better things to do than master the art of correctly typing out Lialla's name.

Anyways, back to the entry.

So, I was just putting my books away before lunch, when all of a sudden, Lialla comes up next to me from out of nowhere. 

"Can I tell Jase you like him?" she asked. Seriously. Those were her exact words.

"What? NO!" I slammed my locker door shut. "What makes you think that'd be O-Kaaaaay with me, even in a million years?"

"Oh, nothing. It's just that, you know, he likes you too. You know that, right? See, he wanted to talk to you." Lialla said. "If you need me to explain it to you like you were less that 0 years old, please...don't...hesitate...

to...come...and...talk...to...me...at...the...elite...table...at...lunch...OK...Catherine?"

"Um, yeah" I said dumbly.

"Well, I'ma go now, I need to meet up with Jennica." Lialla tells me.

Jennica is Lialla's best friend, She's the meaner one of them. Lialla is pretty nice for a member of the Elite Crew or whatever. Jennica, however, is just a sassy brat.
"Okay, bye, Lialla." I leaned against my locker, just thinking. About lots of things. Like, was Lialla lying? She seemed so nice when she told me the news about Jase. But she is a really good actress. Lead in the school play a countless number of times. Then again, I never really saw Jase hanging out with Kassi anymore. But then I never really saw Kassi anymore, because of the fact that her and Jase acting all stupid and fluttery with each other makes we want to puke inside each and every locker in Western Throneston High. And then fry them up like pancakes and eat them. It's just that gross.
Somebody cleared their throat behind me.
"Why does it have to be that gross?" They asked me.
"Um." I froze. I knew that voice. And the owner of the voice heard me think aloud. That voice. Why that voice? I knew it and it knew me! Not that I was a stalker or anything. I just knew it. Slowly, I spun on my heel to face them.
"Hi, Catherine."
"Jase. Hi. What a lovely surprise! I'm Ca-thy not Cath-er-ine, just so you know. Nice to meet you by the way." I said stiffly, plastering a smile on my face. My greeting was so fake I considered adding a "Come on in and make yourself at home." But he would just think I'm crazy. Also it would just be awkward standing in a squished locker together.
"Hey, Cathy." Jase greets me for the second time.
"Hi, Jase." Again. What, is thins going to be like, "Hi, Cathy!" "Hi, Jase," "Hi, Cathy," "Hi, Jase!"
"So, um" Jase leaned against the locker next to mine, which happened to be my best friend Elyz Zereichovich's locker. "I was wondering..."
"...Yeah...?"
"Well, my mom's taking some people to the beach on Sunday and I wanted to know if you'd want to come." Jase offered.
"Um, yeah, well, sure." I said. "What time?"
"I dunno, maybe around noon or so, and then you can go back at like, 3-5 pm."
"Sure, sounds great."
And then the bell, who had been my friend for many years due to saving me from awkward situations decided to turn tables and ring in this nice moment with Jase.
"Well," he said. "See ya then." And walked down the corridor.
"Bye." I called after him, but I'm pretty sure he didn't hear.

Friday 10th August, chapter two: My Pathetic Day, ft. Lialla Johnson.

Friday, 10th August

Uhmwhat just happened? This has to be a quick post cuz I have to get off in like, nine minutes.
Anyways, today at school I was just totally being me at my locker, when all of a sudden, Lialla Johnson of the Elite Crew comes up to me and goes "Girrrl, you're like so lucky."
Lialla Johnson is one of those people who have to bring a bottle of Spritzer to school so they can clean off all the fan mail that her followers throughout the school have left her in dry-wipe marker form on her locker. She's the type of girl who barely even gives any love heart cards a second glance anymore. Yeah, that type of person.
Of course I knew nothing about what she was talking about so I was like "What are you even talking about?"
"Oh, you loser, I know you've had a crush on Jase Fexenburg since like, forever and now he broke up with Kassi Madden." Lialla said.
"He did?" I asked, puzzled.
"Oh," Lialla saw this as an opportunity to mess with my head. "Well. That's just what I heard, anyways. I'm not so sure how very true this is, you see, Cath-er-ine..." She liked to stretch my name into many loooooong syllables. "But it never hurts to try..." She took a red paper heart from her locker. "Apart from, you know, right here..." Lialla slowly ripped the paper heart down the middle, and dropped it. We both watched the two broken halves as they delicately floated to the floor.
"Lialla!" I shrieked, causing a few people of the nearby land to stop and stare.
"What?" She replied innocently. "It was only a love heart from a freak too shy to even talk to me in person. No way would I date that."
"Whatever." I said, knowing that she had a point. "About this stuff on Jase?"
"Oh, yeah. Want to know why he broke up with Kassi?" She asked.
"I don't know. Do I?" I said uncertainly.
"He wanted you instead. He realized that so he dumped Kassi."
"Yeah, right. Good one."
"No, really. I'm serious." Lialla tried to explain, as if her little 'story' was desperately clutching at straws.
"Listen I have to get to class. Tell me the rest at lunch if you absolutely have to." I told her. I knew she was lying. Trying to mess with my head. But a little part of me couldn't help but hope it was true.

Chapter One: Introducing Catherine Bel Rae

Hey! I'm Catherine Bel Rae!
This is a blog about me, even though nobody will read it probably.

Things about me that you never knew but you do now...

• I really like singing. But only to Mr Shampoo and Ms Conditioner and Dr Soap in the shower.
• Don't call me Catherine. Cathy is my name.
• OK everyone knew this but Elyz Zereichovich is my best friend and not yours, Liala Thompason.

That's it for now anyways. I just wanna try out the HTML code for a comment box.
