I feel the need to apologise for this chapter. I wrote it while my sister was watching a TV show in the same room and I couldn't concentrate at all. I'm really sorry!

Enjoy ❤ (and comment!)

♥ Catherine's P.O.V ♥

The next day at school, everything went smoothly.

Alexa, Tyler's cousin, started going to our school too and I was really excited to get to know her.

At lunch, I sat with Hayden, and the rest of the crew. The girls still weren't talking to me, but this time, neither were the boys. Apart from Hayden, of course.

"Hayden, they don't talk to me," I whispered to his ear.

Hayden looked up and noticed that everyone was ignoring my presence.

"What are you doing?" he asked and I hit his leg from under the table.

"Are you talking to us?" Lucy asked confused.

"Yeah. Are you ignoring Cat?"

"We are not ignoring her... We just..." Bella said without finishing her sentence.

"Don't talk to her," Lucy added.

I couldn't believe it. I had finally done something with my life and my friends didn't support me at all.

I stood up and left. I walked outside of the building, towards the little garden that was behind my school.

I sat down on a bench and crossed my legs.

"Boo!" someone said from behind me.

"Oh my freaking goodness!" I jumped, scared.

"That was hilarious," Alexa said, sitting down next to me.

"If I wasn't grateful for your presence, I would have killed you," I rolled my eyes, making her laugh.

"What happened to you?" she asked squeezing my shoulder.

"Nothing," I shook my head.

"Oh, come on! I'm a girl too. I know when something's wrong."

I sighed. "My friends don't talk to me because I am with Tyler... Well, I'm not even with him... I mean he hasn't asked me to be his girlfriend." I sighed again. "Anyway, you get the point."

"I think that if they were your real friends, they would be happy for you, even if they didn't like your choices," she said smiling.

"I don't kno-"

"Boo!" someone shouted again.

"I swear, if anybody does this again, I will have them taken to the hospital with broken bones," I warned before turning around.

Tyler was standing there, laughing his great *ss off.

"Laugh all you want, but I'm never going out with you again," I frowned and sat down.

"Hey! Not fair!" he whined, coming in front of me and kneeling on the floor. He took my hands and kissed the back of them, making me smile.

"I made her smile," he cheered. "Take lessons," he winked at his friends, who I had just acknowledged.

"Hey guys," I waved at them.

"Hey," they both said and sat down next to Tyler.

"You don't have to sit on the ground, there's another bench over there," I told them, chuckling.

"Yeah, but there aren't any hot girls there," Ryan winked at Alexa. She raised an eyebrow, making Ryan smirk.

"Anyway," Tyler said rolling his eyes. "Why are you here alone?" he asked me.

"I'm here too!" Alexa said confused.

Tyler glared at her and turned to me.

"The girls turned the boys against me and now nobody talks to me."

"Not even Hayden?" he asked surprised.

"Hayden does," I smiled.

"Then don't worry," he shrugged. "They will soon realise what they are losing and come back to you," he smiled and kissed my hand.

"Yeah," I said shrugging.

"Do you want to go somewhere after school?" he asked me.

"I can't, it's my turn to cook. But you can come to my house if you want," I offered.

"Things are getting dirty in here, Ryan," Tyler's other friend said. "Let's go," he laughed.

They both stood up and walked towards the parking lot.

"Boys," Alexa muttered and stood up too.

"Where are you going?" I asked her.

"Inside. I need to get something from my locker. I'll see you soon," she waved and left skipping.

"So, is the invitation still open?" Tyler asked smirking.
