"Shapiro!" Jade screeched, storming through the main doors. "Has anyone seen Shapiro?!" Her eyes were full of fury. She scanned the hallway, and she spotted Robbie cowering in a corner near his locker, trying to blend in.
"Shapiro!" She walked over and grabbed his collar, accidentally hitting Rex in the process.
"Hey scissor girl, no need to be that aggressive." Rex grumbled. "Shut your puppet up or I'll cut his mouth off!" Jade threatened, whipping a pair of scissors out of her pocket.
"He doesn't like being called a puppet!" Robbie whined exasperatedly from behind her. Jade raised an eyebrow and twirled the scissors around. Robbie obediently put Rex on the ground. "Okay, now what?
"Shapiro. You know what." She hissed through gritted teeth. "Who gave you permission to post that picture of me and Roger Davies on The Slap? With the caption Jade's new interest!?"
"I didnt! My blog was hacked!" Robbie protested. Jade slapped him.
"I am not cheating on Beck! Roger Davies is a play producer, and he was interested in the play I wrote! Besides, Beck was there too, just that you conveniently left him out of the picture." Jade accused.
"I-I'm telling the truth! My blog was hacked! I'm still trying to find the hacker but-" Robbie stammered.
"Stop giving lame excuses! Nobody can hack a computer nerd's blog, Shapiro. Now you watch out, because I'm gonna get you. I'm gonna get you real good." Jade glared at him and stormed off to class just as the bell rang.
Robbie cringed. He was in big trouble.
[sports hall]
"Warm ups! Two laps round the court, go!" Mike, the gym teacher yelled. Most of the students completed the two rounds quickly, except for Robbie, who was straggling behind – as always. Mike rolled his eyes. Robbie had only finished one round and was panting like a dog.
"Robbie. Robbie- just stop. Forget the two rounds, you're done now," Mike led Robbie to where the other students had gathered to wait.
"Okay, class, today we start our three-session volleyball module!" Mike introduced. "Today, we will be learning basic moves and playing a simple 2-on-2 game." He continued explaining the different volleyball moves. When he reached spiking, he asked for two volunteers to demonstrate.
"I'll do it!" Jade stepped forward confidently. "With Robbie." She smirked.
Robbie trembled in fear and followed Jade to the front of the class.
"Basically, a spike is an attacking move when you hit the ball over with one hand, like this." Jade spiked the volleyball violently over to Robbie's side, which would have nicely hit him in the groin if he hadn't scurried out of the way.
The rest of the lesson progressed with Jade hitting the volleyball and screaming at Robbie, and the rest of them trying their best to stay out of it.
[hallway]
"So why's Jade so mad at you?" Tori asked Robbie sympathetically, who was carefully nursing his sore arm. (Jade had repeatedly hit that arm with her volleyball spikes.) Cat giggled and played around with her pearphone. Rex was "resting at home" due to a "fever", according to Robbie.
"Well, my blog got hacked and someone posted this picture of Jade a play producer Roger Davies with the caption Jade's new interest and-"
"I like Roger Davies!" Cat interrupted. "He was the producer in one of the little plays I was in. One time, he walked in wearing blue and green and it soo funny!" Cat giggled, oblivious to her own clothes – a bright blue top and turquoise-y jeans.
Robbie ignored her and continued, "and anyway Jade's mad at me now because people think she and Beck are splitting up OH MY GOD ITS JADE HIDE ME" Robbie squealed and hid behind Tori's back as Jade and Beck walked through the hallway, heading to another class.
Tori waited until Jade had walked past then turned around. "So who do you think hacked your blog?"
"Well, only Sinjin or Burf would be smart enough to hack, and Burf doesn't really do anything if Sinjin doesn't tell him to, so Sinjin." Robbie concluded.
Cat giggled. "In the 1880's, 'pants' was a dirty word! Isn't that so funny?" She read off her pearphone, giggling and wandered off to class.
Tori raised an eyebrow, then turned back to Robbie. "Want me to talk to Sinjin for you?"
"Yeah, that'll be great, thanks."
[sikowitz's classroom]
"… And that is what makes Shakespeare so incredible." Sikowitz concluded, sipping from his coconut. "Any questions?"
Before anyone could ask anything, the door swung open. A young man, around his late 20s, strided in. "Excuse me, is Jade West here?" he asked politely.
Jade stood up to face the man. "Oh my god, Roger! Why are you here?"
Roger grimaced. "Hey Jade. I kinda have bad news…"
Jade paled. (A/N: If you can actually imagine that, since Jade is already super pale) "Yeah…"
"Okay. So my manager came across this blog, on The Slap, and there was this piece of ridiculous gossip about me and you being – you know – romantically involved. And it's absurd. So my manager doesn't want me to produce your play because it'll just make more rumours appear."
Jade was shocked speechless.
"I'm sorry, Jade. I would still direct it, if I could. Maybe you could look for another producer. Your play's really good." Roger patted Jade on the shoulder sympathetically and left.
Jade slowly spun around to face Robbie, who was cowering in a corner. "Robbie…" Robbie squeaked and ran out of Sikowitz's classroom.
Jade started to chase after him, but Beck stopped her. He rubbed her back and stroked her hair, while she buried her face into his shoulder and sank to the floor.
"Come on Jade, it's not that bad… I mean, Roger's right, can't you just find another producer? Tori attempted to lighten the mood.
"It's not that easy to find a good producer and get him to work with you. Jade spent ages before she got a deal with Roger." Beck answered for Jade.
"Beck's right." Sikowitz put in, drinking from his coconut. "It does take quite a while to find a good producer. Anyway, class dismissed, you may all wander the halls!" He smiled loopily and sauntered out the class.
"I'm going to cut things up." Jade stood up and left the room abruptly. Beck followed her.
Tori sighed. She had to fix this, and fast.
[hallway]
"Sinjin!" Tori yelled as she spotted him. She grabbed his wrist and dragged him into the janitor's closet. Instead of him usual overexcited, eager expression, he looked afraid, like he was running from the police.
"Okay. Sinjin. Um, you're good with computers right?"
He nodded slowly.
"Right. Did you, you know, um – ah who am I kidding. Did you hack Robbie's blog or not!" She exclaimed.
"I-I, um-"
"You what?" Tori narrowed her eyes.
"TRINA PAID ME!" Sinjin automatically defended himself. "SHE PAID ME TEN DOLLARS AND GAVE ME A HUG I HAD TO DO IT!" He slapped a hand over his mouth immediately.
Tori was stunned. Trina!? "Why did she tell you to that? Do you know what happened because of it?"
Sinjin shook his head frantically, refusing to speak. Tori held out two dollars. Sinjin took it.
"Okay. She heard Jade was producing a play, and she was mad that 'the emo girl' could be more successful than her, so she got me to hide out at where Jade's meeting was taking place and snap a photo and hack Robbie's blog and post that picture and change the password."
"What? That's insane! Anyway, can you take it down? And change the password back to its original? Please?" Tori pleaded.
Sinjin smirked. "I could… if…"
Tori rolled her eyes. "If what."
"Kiss me."
"No!"
Sinjin grinned. "Well, I could always leave it there…"
Tori groaned. "Fine. But on the cheek."
Sinjin shrugged. "Sure."
Tori hesitated, then leaned forward and pecked Sinjin's cheek before wiping her mouth in disgust. "You better take it down by tonight. I know where you live." She glared at him and walked out of the closet.
[Tori's house]
"Trina!" Tori screamed as soon as she got home. "Where are you?! Trina!"
Trina stumbled down the stairs sleepily. "What."
"Why did you pay Sinjin to put up an incredibly ridiculous rumour about Jade on Robbie's blog?!" Tori came close to yelling.
Trina sighed, as if she had done nothing wrong. "It obvious that Jade doesn't have as much talent- and glamour- as me." She paused to flick her hair over her shoulders and bat her eyelashes. "So I did what was right. I stopped her from outshining me."
"By paying Sinjin?" Tori asked sarcastically. Trina smiled. "Duh! He's such a pushover, really." She sat herself down on the couch. "Hey, get me some food."
"No!" Tori refused. "Trina, success is about hard work and, you know, determination. Not money and jealousy."
"Wow you're so caught up in the past. You should be glad I'm here to guide you. Times are changing, Tori!" Trina insisted, before texting someone.
Tori rolled her eyes. "You know what? Trina, Trina. Trina!" Trina looked up. "I'm sick of your selfish actions, so do whatever you want. See if you can get to the top. Just don't mess around with my friends." (A/N I was so tempted to put "Or Jade." there but I decided Tori should be nicer than that.)
Trina shrugged and turned on the TV with a nonchalant "whatever."
[hallway]
"Hey. Vega." Tori turned around the next morning to see Jade walking towards her.
"Oh. Hey Jade!" Tori smiled.
"Hey. Okay um, so this whole Roger thing-"
"It really isn't Robbie's fault, you know. He really did get hacked." Tori tried to convince Jade.
"I know. I heard your whole conversation with Sinjin. Did you really kiss him?" Jade asked, curious.
Tori nodded. "It was disgusting."
"Ew."
"It's worse than you think."
"So I wanted to say thanks for everything and I owe you one." Jade hesitated. "And, um, I have this idea to get back at Trina and I'm not sure if you mind."
Tori shrugged. "Depends on what you're gonna do to her."
Jade smirked and whispered her plan into Tori's ear. Tori laughed and agreed, and they headed for gym class together.
[sports hall]
"Okay, class, this is your third and final lesson of the volleyball module, and today we are going to play with your seniors!" Mike was met with silence. He sighed and carried on.
"Before the seniors come in later, you guys get into pairs and practice a while first." Mike threw his spare volleyball to Beck and walked around the hall, correcting people's moves.
"What if I break a nail! I don't wanna- no- put me down!" Trina's shrill screams were heard as she walked (or dragged, both works) down the hallway into the sports hall.
Jade rolled her eyes and turned to Tori. "You ready?" Tori nodded.
"Hey Vega." Jade walked up to Trina. "We're playing with you."
"No you're not!" Trina looked disgusted. "I am not playing volleyball with my sister."
"Yes you are." Jade glared at her. Trina shrunk away, with a squeal of agreement.
They got into position on different sides of the net, after Trina had convinced some hot guy to be her partner. The game went on for a while, before Jade nodded at Tori and winked.
Tori served the ball and passed to Jade, who spiked it over. It hit Trina squarely on the shoulder.
"Ow!" She whined, clutching her shoulder. "What was that for?"
"Oh, you know, ruining my play." Jade said casually. Tori passed Jade another ball and she spiked it over, hitting Trina's other shoulder. "And that was for spreading rumours about Roger and I." The hot guy chuckled.
"I could hit other places, so be thankful your sister here is nice enough to stop me." Jade snapped, before stalking off.
Trina stared at Tori disbelievingly. "You just gonna let her to do this to me?"
Tori shrugged. "Pretty much, yeah." She smiled and went to play volleyball with Jade.
[sikowitz's classroom]
"Today we're going to practice our alphabetical improv again!" Sikowitz announced. "This time in pairs. Who would like to go first?"
"Me." Jade stood up. "With Robbie." Robbie squeaked and got up, leaving Rex on his chair.
"Someone give a letter to start with. And a situation!" Sikowitz said.
"H!" Andre suggested. Sikowitz nodded. "An apology!" Tori called out, winking at Jade, who (sort-of) smiled back at her.
"Right. Anddd… action!" Sikowitz yelled.
"Hey Robbie!" Jade started off.
"Um… I didn't see you there! Hi Jade." He replied. Jade rolled her eyes.
"Just saying, do you remember that time your blog got hacked?"
"Uh, koalas! Yes I do."
"Lets just say I found out the truth."
"Magic Mike!" Robbie blurted out.
"Not the key issue here! Look all I wanted to say was sorry for wrongly accusing you of posting that stupid post it's not your fault and you are never hearing that form me again cut we're done here." Jade apologized in one breath and walked off the stage. Beck smiled and put one arm around her proudly.
"Uh, thanks?" Robbie was at a loss for words. Jade had just apologized to him.
"Nope! Robbie, the next letter was O!" Sikowitz grinned from the back of the class, sipping a coconut. "Anyway, next team, let's go!"
Robbie went back to his seat. "So, you were saying?" He whispered to Jade.
"Don't push it, Shapiro." Jade muttered, shooting him a glare. Robbie chuckled. Everything was back to normal.
Well, most things, anyway. Luther, the janitor, walked into the janitor's closet to get some cleaning supplies, only to stop when he saw his trash bin all cut up and a pair of scissors lying next to it.
He sighed. That Jade kid had been at it again. When will these teenagers learn? He dragged the pieces out of the janitor's closet resignedly and dumped them in the dumpster outside.
Okay. Now everything was back to normal.
