Trust Issues

Tori Vega growled as she slammed her locker shut. It was her first day at Hollywood Arts, and this is how she made an appearance? She had absolutely rocked the Make it Shine song, and everyone in the school had already seen her at her best. Now? It was all thanks to dumb old Andre and his dumb old ideas.

After the performance at the showcase, Andre rushed her out to a club to celebrate. They got drunk, and he tried to get with her. She pushed him away and automatically made a gagging noise. How could she have forgotten to mention that she was a lesbian?

That was the embedding of the idea. The terrible awful idiotic idea. Naturally Andre had a few questions; most people did. His question was just a little bit more… blunt. "So you get horny like a guy?" In her intoxicated state, that was perfectly logical. Every girl she saw that she found attractive caused at least some reaction down there. That's what happened to guys right? So Tori nodded.

"I practically am one," she commented, a large burp following. The two burst into giggles.

Andre mumbled after their laughing subsided, "You should come to school as a guy."

Tori chuckled. "I could, but I don't know how I could sneak out of the house without anyone knowing."

Andre pondered this dilemma. "I could drive you to school. You could get ready on the way there."

Tori took a sip of some beer from her bottle. "I would need to cut my hair. My parents should be cool with that."

The two were actually considering this happening, and now, here Tori was. She was not Victoria Vega the awesome girl that rocked the Showcase, but she was Toren Vega, a mysterious boy that was new at the school. Of course to the principal she was just a girl in baggy boy clothes that had requested her name be Tori on the roll. It wasn't a big deal to him. Lots of students dressed outside of their typical gender roles, and they were welcome to express themselves. That was kinda the philosophy behind Hollywood Arts.

Andre walked up to her with a smirk. "You made it, man!" He congratulated before giving her a friendly bro-hug. Tori gave him an unamused scowl and scratched at her fake side burns. "Nice face job, by the way," he commented, noticing her facial features were muted by neutral tones, and her lips were much less defined.

Suddenly a boy with a puppet walked up to the duo. "Hey Andre!" He offered. Tori briefly remembered seeing him at the showcase. "Who's your friend?" the boy asked with an inflection on 'friend.'
"Why are you so lame?" the puppet exclaimed with an urban accent.
Andre gave Tori a look to prepare herself. "This is my friend Toren. He's new. Toren, this is Robbie and Rex."
Tori gave a nonchalant nod. "You can call me Tori." Internally she gave herself props. Her man voice sounded spot on. Saved from further explaining, the bell rang. "Nice meetin' you," Tori raised an arm to wave before trekking with Andre into Sikowitz' classroom.
She walked in first, looking toward Andre in mid conversation before walking face first into a girl with black boots and black coffee. Needless to say, the coffee spilt all over and Tori was flabbergasted. Great, the first hot girl she sees, and she's already ruined her chances. Okay, man voice ready. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry." The girl stood there frozen, covered in coffee, a pierced eyebrow raised in expectation. "Here, let me help clean up," Tori reached into her backpack and took out some tissue paper. She began rubbing at the ground in front of her and offered some tissue to the girl, who still just stood there glaring. Tori rolled her eyes, "Oh, come on. You can't just stand there covered in coffee." Impulsively Tori reached out to wipe the coffee out of the girl's shirt, but she grabbed Tori's wrist before it made contact.
"Don't you dare touch me," the girl hissed before storming out of the classroom.
Andre let out a shiver and lead Tori to a seat. "Who was that?" she asked, still using her man voice seeing as many people were staring at her in amazement.
Andre glanced around as if expecting a monster to pop out. "That's Jade West. She's super scary, and she's been out for blood since her boyfriend Beck broke up with her."
Tori rolled her eyes. "Oh please," she responded. Girls did not get that hung up over guys, and if Jade was so terrifying on her own, she had to be strong enough to get over some boy.
"Alright, class! Please take your seats and set your butts in them," a strange looking man danced into the room barefoot holding a coconut. "Where's Jade?" Oh, he must be the teacher… sort of?
A girl with red hair squeaked out a response, "That cute new boy spilt coffee on her, and she ran away!" Tori looked back at the girl who squealed and ducked her head. She thought Tori was cute?
The teacher, Sikowitz, nodded, "Thank you, Cat." He then looked at Tori. "Okay, newbie, since you made her leave, I'm going to send you on a mission to go find her. Consider it a way to get to know your way around the school. Also, don't be afraid to check places that say 'keep out.' I wouldn't put it past Jade." Tori was about to nod and stand up when the teacher suddenly asked, "Oh yeah, you have a name don't you?"
Tori cleared her throat before responding, "I'm Toren, but you can call me Tori."
"Hi Tori!" Cat shouted from behind before ducking her head again. Tori smiled before standing up and leaving the classroom.
