I'm back with more unoriginal content! Did you miss me? :3

Catherine Lawrence

Hi! My name is Catherine Lawrence, but you probably know me better as Top Cat. That nickname is a play on words you see, although I'd doubt you understand that since I'm the only one clever enough to get it. Let me explain it to you, so you can get your inferior little minds around it. The cat comes from my name CATherine and the top comes from the fact that I'm always top in everything. I'm top of the class (or at least I would be if the teachers could understand that I'm a genius despite what I get in tests), I have the top amount of boyfriends, I'm the top hottest and – most importantly – I'm top of the social ladder. You name it, I'm top at it. That's just the sort of person I am.

When it comes to being top of the social ladder, I don't really have much competition. In my opinion, everybody in this school is either one of my minions or not worth thinking about. But there is this one girl who messes up this system a bit. Her name is Katie Green and ever since she moved her, she's been slowly ruining my life.

When she mysteriously transferred here in the middle of the year, she took our school by storm. With her gorgeous brown hair that never seemed to be styled but still looked good, her forest green eyes and the fact that nobody knew anything about her past, she soon became an almost bigger catch than me. Fortunately, the brat had no idea how popularity worked. She turned down all attempts to ask her out (saying that she was already in a relationship) and declined my once in a lifetime offer to be part of my group of "friends". She seemed so desperate to stay away from me and my people that I would call her a loner, but as soon as she got the go ahead to attend clubs she joined the gardening club, a place that was infamous for only being attended by weirdoes.

Despite the fact that she's totally inept in all aspects of popular culture, the Katie-brat is still a threat to my spot at the top of the social ladder. She always seems to have a group of friends with her – who she seems to actually care about – and I can already feel my followings foundations shuddering. Thankfully, I have a foolproof plan to eliminate the Katie-brat from my competition.

Every week, without fail, the Katie-brat's so-called boyfriend calls her during second period English and she excuses herself from class. The teacher always lets her since she only ever takes a few minutes and I think he finds it "romantic". As if he would have a clue about what romance was! Anyways, I've decided to pull a few strings. A couple of months back, I caught said English teacher cheating on his wife with the maths teacher and got photographic evidence, so I was able to use this to blackmail him into enforcing a few new rules. The rules read as follows:

1. Nail polish is now allowed in class (he always told me that nail polishing was an inappropriate way to spend a lesson but now he can't anymore!)

2. The dress code has been abolished (now I can wear my cute new crop top!)

And most importantly:

3. Any student who receives a call in class must put his/her phone on speakerphone and carry out his/her conversation in front of the class without alerting the person on the other end as to what was happening

It's the perfect plan; you could even say it's the top plan! The Katie-brat will be forced to either carry out a really embarrassing conversation out with her boyfriend in front of the entire class, or explain that it wasn't really her boyfriend calling her and she just made him up so she could reject boys. All I need to do is to wait until English begins and watch the magic unfold.

After a boring first period of tormenting the maths teacher by subtly reminding her of the pictures I took, it's finally English. Just like clockwork, the Katie-brat's so-called boyfriend has called up, but this time the teacher intervenes. "Sorry Katie," he says "but I'm going to have to remind you of the new rule. You do remember what it is, don't you?"

"Yes sir," replies the Katie-brat "I remember. I put the call on speaker phone and I don't let my boyfriend know that everybody is listening in. May I ask why I have to do this again?"

"I have no idea why this rule was made," he sighs, looking pointedly at me "I really don't." The Katie-brat follows his gaze and her eyes falls briefly on me. Then she turns away and nods to the teacher.

She put the phone on speaker mode and we all leaned eagerly in, nobody making a sound so as to not give away the game. I noticed that her phone was a brand that I'd never seen before. At first all we could hear was a burst of static, which was kinda weird, because whose phones actually make static anymore?

K: Hi Travis!

T?: Hi katie kit kat!

I guess she wasn't lying when she said she had a boyfriend. The voice on the other end of the line sounds cute, although I get the feeling that he doesn't take much seriously.

K: Stop calling me that! You know that it drives me up the wall.

Then she paused for a moment and whispered something in a really small whisper. I couldn't make out much but it sounded like it was in a different language, although it wasn't any language that I could recognise.

T: I understand

I get the feeling that the boy Travis understood what she said. Maybe she told him that we were listening in! I'm not going to interrupt now, but as soon as this call is over I'm telling the teacher that the Katie-brat broke the rules.

K: So, whats the news back at camp, Hermes Junior?

That's a really weird nickname. Who the hell is Hermes and why is she calling him that? From the small grunt on the other side I can tell that her boyfriend is annoyed so why would she do that? If they're calling each other names then they must be about to break up. This will definitely be a useful bit of gossip for later.

T: OK, so here's the important stuff: Piper, Jason and Leo are off on another... backpacking trip, the... heart cabin has got into a fight with the... sun cabin over who has the best parent WAIT NO it was over who had the best mentor and Festus kind of, ever so slightly set  fire to your flower bed.

At this, the Katie-brat suddenly became very angry. Her cheeks flushed red, her hands clenched into fists and the poor boy on the phone looked as good as dead. This is going to be great.

K: DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD I WORKED ON THAT FLOWER BED?! I SPENT HOURS GETTING THE PETALS JUST RIGHT! AND NOW YOU DARE TELL ME THAT YOU LET SOME STUPID MECHANICAL DRAGON JUST SENT IT ALL UP IN FLAMES!? YOU'D BETTER START DRIVING RIGHT NOW BECAUSE AS SOON AS SCHOOL FINISHES YOU'RE TAKING ME TO CAMP AND, I SWEAR, I WILL DISMANTLE THAT STUPID DRAGON, NO MATTER WHAT ANYBODY SAYS! NOW GET IN THE CAR AND DRIVE!

Wow. That was infinitely better than I expected. After hearing about this outburst, the Katie-brat's reputation as a calm, quiet girl is going to be torn to shreds. I can't wait until the end of school so I can watch her breakup with her boyfriend.

---

It seemed to take hours to get here, but now it has come. The end of the day. All of the lessons  to take twice as long as they usually did and the Katie-brat spent the whole day as tense as a coiled spring. This breakup is going to be pure drama, and I'm going to use my phone to record the entire thing.

At the moment, almost the entire school is gathered outside, glancing through the corners of their eyes at the Katie-brat and her group of friends. Almost the entire school knows that she's about to break up with her boyfriend thanks to a clever bit of rumour spreading done by yours truly. Suddenly, a bright red car pull up. For someone our age, he must have saved up his entire life or have had really generous parents to get such a nice one. As people slowly start to realise that this car doesn't belong to anybody from this neighbourhood, the crown begins to turn and face it.

Quickly, a boy steps out. He has browns, curly hair, blue eyes and an elfish smile. Something about the way he looks around the crowd makes me want to hold onto me wallet, but I resist. After all, its not as if he's some master thief.

The boy Travis suddenly seems to spot the Katie-brat. Oddly, he starts running towards her. As he passes me he bumps into me. "Watch where you're going!" I yell, but he just ignores me. Rude. 

When he gets to TKB (I cant be bothered to type the whole thing anymore) instead of slapping him or beginning to yell at him, like I hoped she would, TKB just said "You came." She seemed genuinely happy that he'd driven all the way from wherever the hell her camp was to our school. I guess it was a pretty nice thing to do, but she was supposed to be mad at him! Suddenly, TKB got up on her tiptoes and pecked him on the lips. It didn't seem to be a very good kiss to me, but the boy Travis acted like she'd just given him a sack full of gold. Stupid boy. "Let's go dismantle that stupid dragon" she said with a small smile as she linked his hand with hers. All her anger seemed to have disappeared as soon as that stupid boy arrived.

This isn't what was supposed to happen. As the couple drove off, still holding hands, the crowd slowly turned towards me. I had promised them a dramatic breakup, and all they had got was a lovestruck couple. I tried to dig myself out of this hole I had created for myself and yelled "So long losers!" towards the back of the retreating car, hoping that everybody else would start jeering at them as they left, but all that happened was my backstabbing group of cronies stepping carefully away from me. I get the feeling that I'm not quite the topcat anymore.
