Okay, okay; I'm gonna sound like the biggest dork when talking about Cat, but I don't care! š
So...Cat was dating another guy when we first met, and this other guy just so happened to be a former friend of mine. It didn't work out, and let's just say Cat got the short end of the stick the entirety of their relationship. Due to this association, Cat was reluctant to trust me right away, but that's okay; all things considered, I had to give her some time and also put in the effort to make us work - trust me, itās a ton of work.
When it's just me and her...I can be the dashing prince of her dreams or the wackiest clown in the circus; she's happy either way when I put a smile on her face. At least, that's how it is for her on the surface. Her eyes hold much sadness behind them given her past and what she currently deals with regularly. She knows things about other people, especially those who are close to her, and whether they like it or not she can expose their true colors and that can be a real game changer. Cat can be self-conscious at times - be it comparing herself to others or blaming herself for others' mistakes, things outside of her control. Sheās something of a perfectionist and can be extremely hard on herself. It's hard for me to watch her shut down mentally and emotionally, mainly due to stress and the fact she is mildly autistic. I think because I know these things about her I take it upon myself to preserve her sensitive nature and see this relationship as something more than average. Cat is extraordinary in ways she doesn't even realize. You'd think she's another princess that needs rescuing, but in truth she can hold her own. As someone who's experienced her 'own little world' if you will, her imagination is rich and vivid. She doesn't need anyone telling her what she is supposed to feel and think; she can do that for herself and if anyone has a problem with that they should mind their own business elsewhere. Whenever she puts her mind to something, she'll see it through to the end. I like to sit back and watch her shine in this way because I believe in her; I'm literally rooting for her.
Cat's a writer, artist, and a musician - something of a renaissance lady. She's an ambitious storyteller in her writing, a visionary in her art, and a spiritual healer in her music. I heard she doesn't like her own singing, but from my perspective she's like an ethereal songstress; her song choices often range from soft lullabies, soulful laments, and almost prophetic and thematic selections - things from anime, video games, movies, and everything else in between. Her voice is so soothing no matter what she sings; how can anyone be bored by it? Anyway, I do my part and take her out of the house every once in a while; let's face it, nobody wants to be cooped inside forever even if she's content with that.
I feel like I wrote an entire essay on why Cat is the love of my life. I hope I didn't give too much away, but I'm just giving my honest thoughts and feelings about her. I know I'm far from perfect, but having Cat in my life feels like it's perfect.
I get red in the face whenever I think about Sunny. I can take any possible adjective used to describe him in the English language and multiply that by a million. To think this is Zani's brother we're talking about! He's like my fairytale knight in shining armor, or perhaps a charming swashbuckler sailing the seven seas is more his style.
I was dating someone else by the time I met Sunny but that relationship didn't work out; I rather not go into details although some of my friends know what had transpired. Anyway, I was at my darkest hour just being in that last relationship and breaking it off was difficult especially the guy I was dating at the time was my childhood crush, but he manipulated me into thinking we still loved each other even though he was seeing other girls. By college, my ex made things worse...he almost had his way with me, but Sunny and his friends chased him away. That was all I could remember from that night.
Moving away from my previous yet rather dark love life, it gets better with Sunny. He's wonderful at water sports like wakeboarding, jet-skiing, and especially surfing. He also takes me sailing in the summertime; oh, he's like a dashing captain at the helm of his ship! Aside from water sports, I heard he does tai chi but I try not to bother him while he's focused on that. I may have caught a glimpse of Sunny doing tai chi here and there; he looked so calm and graceful doing it and I didn't want to disturb his peace (though I have gotten the pleasure of watching his shirtless tai chi sessions from a safe distance - donāt tell him I do this!). His pet capuchin monkey, Niki, is an extension of himself; even though I love animals I can't let him overshadow Sunny. Hmm...this sounds all too familiar. Am I dating Aladdin or something? Just joking! š
What's he like around me? He's witty and has the best sense of humor; I could have the worst day ever and he'll still be able to crack a smile on my face. Sometimes just sitting around him doing nothing gets me laughing and I donāt know why. Even the best of guys have their flaws, though; he tends to put things off at the last minute and gets bored pretty easily. He has something of a wild streak but I can look past all that. In fact; that wild streak adds excitement in my life. I...just hope I'm not boring to him now that I think about it. We do have our rather serious moments but that's just between us. Iāll admit that I tend to push others away because Iām stubbornly independent when it comes to dealing with my own problems. Nevertheless, he's very understanding and caring. He has a strong sense of justice. No matter what life may throw at us, I can be assured he'll be by my side.
My baby sister!! As her one and only big brother, I've experienced Zani's growth from this sassy child into a beautiful, sophisticated woman. She's strong-willed and passionate that sometimes it's hard to keep up. I know she wants to make a big name for herself...I just hope she doesn't forget herself along the way.
Having a big brother is both exciting and challenging, especially if it's Sunny we're talking about! There's never a boring moment with him. Growing up was...interesting, for the most part. He's something of a clown - you know, being the silly but bright one, but as for me I had my own goals to accomplish. He can be overbearing at times but what big brother isn't, y'know? I'd probably go insane if I didn't have a sibling to talk with - ha ha!
Catās best friend and my violin frenemy. We often start violin showdowns at parties which usually turn into old-fashioned hoedowns since everyone has fun whenever we play.
As a fellow violinist, we sometimes have our bouts on who plays better. Cat likes us both, but every now and then we tend to settle this through a violin duel of sorts. š
Heās an awesome chef, but a lot of the things he makes needs more flavors which is why I add pineapples to most everything. I donāt understand why he gets so worked up about that. His loss! š
Catās better half with a pineapple obsession Iāll never quite understand. I sometimes catch him adding pineapples to my recipes. Itās okay on some things but not on everything! Itās not that I donāt like pineapples; I like the flavor but sometimes the acidity can be too much!
I take it youāve probably read Catās bio or her link box about Kian by now, but in case you havenāt yet go check it out before coming back here. I have a lot more to say about Kian. A lot of things, all of the things.
I canāt even believe that I was friends with this guy! š”
To start, we went to different elementary schools in the same district but we met over the summer before we started high school. We even formed a band with two other guys - who you may know as Marco and Blaze later on. We were a solid band with Kian on lead vocals - he had a nice set of pipes, Iāll admit. We were pretty popular then, playing at school talent shows and other school sanctioned events. It wasnāt until some time between our junior and senior year was when I noticed Kian acting hella shadyā¦
Kian was something of a ladyās man, sometimes cutting classes just to hang out with the girls. However, there was one girl he had his sights set on: Cat. Apparently, she and Kian knew each other since they were kids. Then, she and Kian started dating for about a year (maybe less than that; the details are fuzzy to me). I had some classes with Cat, but I didnāt really talk to her outside of those classes. However; the longer she was dating Kian, the more I noticed Cat looking more worse for wear each day. She would often come to class looking like she hadnāt slept in days and she often felt so lightheaded that she couldnāt stand for more than ten seconds. I often volunteered to take her to the nurseās office just so I could learn more about what was happening. What I found out at the time was shocking: Cat was slaving away just to earn a sliver of Kianās affections; she followed an insanely strict schedule that Kian had set for her, which included doing his homework on top of hers, working out until she was exhausted, and eating so little just to fast for prolonged periods of time and lose the necessary weight to squeeze into the tight but designer clothes that Kian would buy her (I heard this bit from my sister). Cat couldāve died of malnutrition if she kept this up, according to the nurse. Then, I find out heād been dating multiple girls at a time from different schools to āset an example for Catā. If this was how Kian was treating the women around him, especially the one who was so close to him, then I had to be the one who calls him out. Unfortunately, things escalated quickly in the cafeteria which caused the teachers and faculty to intervene. Long story short: we took āfood fightā to a whole other level. I called Marco and Blaze during my off-campus suspension to tell them everything. After the suspension was over, there was the matter of our disbandment. Kian would only agree to let us go our separate ways on one condition: one last band performance, and he would take Cat to senior prom. No surprise, he stood her up. You probably already know who got to take her in his place by now.
Prom was the one night where I saw Cat at her happiest. She didnāt have to worry about Kian anymore. Things were pretty peaceful after Kian transferred schools to finish up senior year, and I thought that was the last time I saw himā¦that is, until he came back with a vengeance in college, bringing in a new crew to face me and the boys. It was a rather short lived vengeance as he didnāt get far with the attempted assault on Cat at a campus party. Me and the boys fought hard to protect Cat, along with a newcomer who you may know as Atti. Now, that was the last time we saw Kian.
Iām certain that Kian is lurking around somewhere plotting to seek more revenge on me for stealing his girl and some other delusional BS. Iām not intimidated in the slightest! The guy is whack! Heās the biggest egotistical narcissist Iāve had the displeasure to know! I sometimes watch the movies heās in just to laugh at his bad acting! š Oh, and you know the magazines that have him on the cover? I photoshop a new cover, write more crap about him like genuine articles, print them out, and place them back on the rack to see how people react to it when they find out the truth about him. People get a kick out of reading my āarticlesā - donāt worry, I go under an assumed name so nobody knows itās me. Yeah, I can be petty. Youāre only in trouble if you get caught! š
Is this clown finished? š
Sunny has been my utmost annoyance ever since we met. Where does he get off being so damn happy all the time? Has he not a care in the world, let alone a single brain cell? It was fun at first, but afterwards it just gave me massive headaches putting up with his shenanigans. To think we were once friendsā¦I cringe at the very thought of it. š
My former friend has pretty much covered the basics, but Iām here to share my version of events.
Sunny and I met the summer before we started high school, that much is true. We went to different elementary schools in the district. However, we came from different upbringings. How was I to bring myself to befriend some waterlogged beach bum as heir to the family estate and one of the largest film studios in town? I was already taking acting lessons at the time so we couldnāt hang out as often. Despite this, we were quite chummy, much so that we later formed a band with two other guys. We rose through the social ladder performing at school sanctioned talent shows, earning much female fervor.
However, I know something that Sunny doesnātā¦his aunt is my agent, which is where most of his family finances comes from! If he did anything to expose me, heād be ruining his familyās livelihoods! How else could his wh0re of a sister afford her luxury wardrobe!? How else could his b!tch of a mother keep her job as one of the most successful writers at the studio?! Her own sister got her that job! Oh, what a small world we truly live in!
Iāll also never forget how Sunny betrayed me for stealing my precious kitty away from meā¦Cat loved me first! I would never hurt her! She wanted to be the perfect girlfriend, so I told her what she could do to achieve her goal. However, she always fell short of my expectations and I had to give her some incentive, if you will. In other words, set an example using one of my special ladies each time Cat wished to improve herself. My relationship with Cat was none of Sunnyās business! I donāt know what kind of spell he casted on her to get her away from me, but that was the last straw that broke the camelās back! I naturally confronted Sunny. Unfortunately, that did not go as planned and we ended up getting an off-campus suspensionā¦tarnishing my permanent record! After the suspension was over, we had to disband our group on one condition: we hold one last performance, and I take kitty to prom. The last performance was a success, but sadly I couldnāt take kitty to prom on account of being asked to a better prom with an even better date. Hey, I never said which prom I would take her to. I let Sunny win, for now.
By some twist of fate, our paths would cross again in college. I formed a new crew which included my twin brother and some better friends who share my passion for the arts. We arrived at a campus party until I ran into Cat, whose beauty was certainly glowing. I had to let her know how much Iāve changed, and how my love for her hasnāt. Before I could have my way with her, Sunny and his lackeys - my former bandmates plus one other person I didnāt know - duked it out until campus security showed up. Fate played a cruel hand that night as I was escorted off campus.
Iām flourishing in my modeling and acting careers, thanks to the dirty little secret I kept from Sunny all these years. Iām just waiting for the right moment to strike. š
