Author's Note: I've had this idea for a few days. It will either be just one chapter or more than one if people like it. This has nothing to do with the sad book, Tuesdays with Morrie. The title just fit well with that because I had no idea what else to call it. I hope you enjoy! :D

Tuesdays with Lane

As soon as I was let out of Sikowitz's class, I rushed down the hall. I was given a yellow slip of paper that morning and told to arrive at the guidance counselor's office as soon as the lunch bell rang and being late to anything was nerve-racking for me. One time, I was late for school and I got so scared of my teacher yelling at me that I fainted outside of the door. No one knew until class was over and Andre had to carry me to the nurse's office. But I'm all better now.

"Hey Cat!" I heard Beck call from behind me. I spun around.

"Yeah?"

"You coming to lunch with us?"

"I can't. I have to go to the counselor!" I held out the yellow slip to him.

"Cool. Do you know why?" I shook my head, "Well, go ahead. You don't wanna be late." My eyes widened.

"You're right!" I turned from him and sped away, accidentally bumping into Jade in my haste, "Oh! Sorry Jade!" I apologized quickly.

"You're lucky I don't have any reasons to hate you, or else you would be dead meat right now." She muttered, beginning to gather the books that flew out of her hands when I collided with her.

"Yay! I'm lucky like a four leaf clover!" I exclaimed while I turned the corner, but then stopped short. "I wonder how lucky five leaf clovers are…" I said to myself, before remembering my goal and springing back into action.

When I made it to Lane's office, I still had three minutes before the bell rang. So I opened the door slowly and walked in casually with a smile on my face. Once, my brother told me that a squirrel died every time I smiled. I tried my best not to smile for a week, but all my friends got worried and planned an intervention because they thought I was depressed. Then while I was there, Robbie made me laugh, which then made me cry when I thought about the squirrel I had just killed. But then I found out that my brother was lying, so I told him that a bird lost its voice whenever he breathed. He held his breath for three minutes, and I was so impressed that I bought him a lollipop and admitted that it was just a joke. And then we were all a happy family again!

"Hi, Cat! How are you?" Lane greeted me from his hanging wicker chair where he was rubbing some lotion onto his hands. I wonder if it smelled fruity.

"What do you mean?" I asked, confused.

"How are you doing?"

"How am I doing what?"

"I mean…What's up?"

"The ceiling." I replied. Isn't that an obvious question?

"Never mind, Cat." He let his head fall into his hands and shook his head.

"So why did you ask me to come here?" I asked curiously.

"Because I just wanted to…get to know you a little better." He explained.

"Okay. I love getting to know people!"

"That's good. Now tell me…what has happened to you so far today?"

"Okay…well first I woke up and had breakfast."

"What did you eat?"

"Well, I almost had a bowl of cereal. But then my dog accidentally knocked it over and I didn't have time to make a new one. And then he started licking the milk off the floor. He kept getting in the way so I couldn't clean it up. And then, when I gave up and tried to leave the kitchen, I slipped on the mess and got a cut on my arm when I fell. But it's okay now because I put a rainbow bandage on it."

"Oh…well that's too bad. What's your dog's name?"

"Cat Jr. I named him after me!" I giggled.

"So you have a dog named Cat?"

"Cat Jr." I corrected him.

"Okay…so what happened next?"

"Then I started getting ready for school. I brushed my teeth, got dressed, combed my hair, put my makeup on, and then I helped my brother tie his shoes and left the house to get on the bus."

"Okay. And how was the bus ride?"

"It was alright. I sat next to Rex, but he kept making fun of my hair." I pouted.

"Does Rex do that a lot?"

"No. Normally he sits with Robbie and doesn't talk to me, but they got in a huge argument about something Rex posted on his blog about Robbie last night and they refused to sit together."

"Do you know what the blog said?"

"I think it was making fun of how Robbie was ditched by those Northridge girls…" Lane raised his eyebrows.

"That happened again?"

"Yeah. I don't think a lot of girls like Robbie. They always wanna hurt his feelings. It's kinda sad."

"It really is. I'll have to meet with Robbie and Rex again so I can talk to them about all that. So anyway, what happened when you got off the bus?"

"I got into school, and while I was talking to Tori about a flower I drew on the back of my homework, Sinjin came up to me and handed me the yellow slip that told me to come here."

"Okay. And then did you go to class?"

"Yeah. First I went to make up class and made my partner look like a clown. Everyone laughed, but she was upset. I don't know why."

"Do you think maybe she didn't want to look like a clown?"

"But why not? Clowns are so fun! They're really neat because they can fit into small cars and walk in those huge shoes without tripping!"

"Some people are afraid of clowns."

"Do you wanna know what I'm scared of?"

"What?"

"Chandeliers."

"Why?"

"Because they're so heavy but they're only hanging by a single chain or wire. I'm afraid that they'll fall on me. I had a dream one time where I was in a fancy room full of chandeliers and I have to watch as they fell one by one on all of my friends and family." I whimpered at the memory.

"Cat. It's okay. It's just a dream. Why don't you just tell me about your next class?"

"Then I had chorus class. It was fun because I love to sing."

"Why do you love to sing?" I opened my mouth to answer him, but then closed it, thinking. I wondered for a few moments, and then I gasped.

"I have no idea! Haha! A mystery!"

"Interesting. What songs did you sing?"

"'The Lion Sleeps Tonight'. It was really cool because I got to sing about cats. And my name is Cat! So I got really into it and started dancing along to the music, and everyone looked at me funny and the teacher yelled at me."

"Maybe you shouldn't dance during class."

"But I like to dance! That's too bad." I sighed.

"So anyway, what did you have next?"

"I had Mr. Sikowitz! My favorite class!"

"Why?"

"All my friends are in that class!"

"I see. Did anything interesting happen in that class?"

"Mr. Sikowitz made us get in a big circle and throw a ball to each other. The person who threw the ball had to describe a made up person and the person who caught it had to act like that person for one minute and then throw the ball to someone else. It was really fun. I got to act like a zookeeper who was trying to get some escaped rocks back into their exhibits and a wheat farmer who was allergic to bread. But then Sikowitz added another ball and it was really hard to keep up. And then Jade threw the ball really hard and it hit Tori in the face. And Jade didn't sound very sincere when she apologized. Don't tell anyone I said this, but I think she did it on purpose."

"Why?"

"Because Jade doesn't like Tori."

"And why is that?"

"I don't know. I think everyone should just get along."

"Okay…and then what happened?"

"Then the bell rang and I came here."

"Alright. Lunch is almost over and I have to tell you something important."

"What?"

"It's been…interesting…getting to know you today, Cat. And I'd like to…get to know you…some more. So how about this? Why don't we meet every Tuesday during lunch so that we can talk about how your days are going? Is that alright?"

"It sounds like fun!" I clapped my hands.

"Good. You can go and grab something for lunch. If the bell rings and you're not done eating, come back here and I'll give you a pass for your next class."

"Okay."

"So I guess we're done here. It was nice talking to you." He reached his hand out and I shook it. It was really soft and a little slimy from the lotion. That's when I noticed that he had papers in his other hand.

"What did you write on those papers?"

"Ummm…" he hesitated, "I just wrote down some of the things you said."

"Why?" I asked suspiciously.

"Because…I didn't want to forget them."

"Oh…okay. Bye!" I got up and waved as I exited his room. Then I ran down the hallway again so I could get some paninis at the Asphalt Café before they ran out. Trina said they were really good, and I was really hungry. And I also really wanted to show everyone my rainbow band-aid. It also had sparkles on it, which always make me happy. Actually…a lot of things make me happy. Except for chandeliers. Those are the worst.

Author's Note: I'll continue this if I know that people like it. If I continued it, it would just be the different meetings that Cat has with Lane every week. So we can try to discover what exactly is going on in Cat's brain. Because I've always been curious. I tried to use simple language because I don't think that Cat thinks articulate thoughts. I also think she gets side tracked easily, which is why that happened a lot. So anyway, I hope you liked this! It's supposed to be pretty silly. Review if you wanna pet Cat Jr.! :D
