Switching Sides
"Sikowitz' Special Exercise"
"NO, NO, NO," Sikowitz began yelling suddenly, "STOP."
"What?!" Jade snapped, clearly upset; it was a miracle if she was anything but.
"Jade, you're supposed to be Cat's best friend in the scene," the teacher said, sighing, "yet you're acting as if you hate her..."
"Who says I'm acting?" She glanced at the redhead, sneer in place, "I really hate her."
"You're so mean," Cat said, sounding sad and pouting for good measure.
"Jade," Sikowitz began, narrowing his eyes on the pale teen, "you'll be an actress or a singer, I dunno, but out there, you'll find people that you don't like, but if you want to succeeded," he looked at the class, "you'll have to work with them, whether you want to or not."
"Yes," Tori intervened; the teacher rolled his eyes, that last part was for all of them. Kids! "You don't have to be a gank with everyone."
"You don't have to be a gank with everyone." Jade mimicked in that southern belle accent reserved for the Latina.
"I don't talk that way!" Tori was getting a tad mad...
"Enough!" Sikowitz interrupted, clearly upset. "Jade, Cat, sit down; I need you to understand what I'm talking about."
"But I was acting like Jade's friend," the redhead whined on her way back to her seat.
"You always act as if you were friends with everyone, Lil' Red," Andre said.
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Cat demanded, clearly upset.
"Uh, nothing!" He replied, a little weirded out, "what I mean is that you're nice with everyone..."
"Thanks!" And just like that, she became bubbly again.
"Not like that wicked witch of the west, she only wants to make human soup," Rex said, proud of his input; the ventriloquist covered the puppet's mouth, clearly not willing to inquire in said female's wrath.
"Alright, alright!" Sikowitz began, mildly upset that the class was getting out of hand, so to apace himself he took a coconut from behind a bookcase, bendy straw already in place, "enough talk, I need to show you how a real actor must do their job, even if they hate their co-star. I need a new pair..."
His gaze skimmed the prospects, stopping to look at the Latina, then his eyes continue looking at the other prospects, but right then, someone knocked on the door and suddenly, Trina was inside.
"Hey, Sikowitz!" She called, "principal Helen wants-"
"Trina!" The teacher interrupted her, "just the one I was looking for! Please, come over with your much more talented sister Tori..."
"But Helen asked me to-" She froze, as did her sister; the youngest Vega had no death wish, and her teacher was sending her to the slaughter house... "Hey! Did you say-"
"I'll handle Helen later, just do as told," he replied, waving his free hand as though he really didn't care why the eldest Vega was there and taking a sip from his coconut; the girls did as told as everyone stared at their nutty teacher, extremely confused. "Now then, I want you two to do the scene Cat and Jade failed."
"But I don't even know what it was about", Trina said, inclining her head in puzzlement.
"Just act together!" He replied, exasperated. "Action!"
"Uh..." Tori began, clearly not knowing how or where. "What's up, Angela?"
"Who?" Replied her sister, more puzzled than before.
"You're supposed to be Angela!" Tori whispered, feeling a blush of shame creep, "and my name is Lindsay and you're my best friend."
"Oh, I get it," Trina said, "let's start again".
"Okay!" The youngest Vega began, even more embarrassed, "so, what's up, Angela?"
"Nothing Lindsay," the eldest replied in her usual uppity tone, "I'm fabulous, as always."
"Trina!" Tori couldn't believe this was happening; what did they expect though? "You're supposed to say you're very sad!"
"Well, nobody told me that," was the snapped response, "how do you expect me to know?"
"Ugh, you're amazing!" Tori replied, sarcasm evident, as well as her mild anger.
"I know." Of course, the eldest would take it another way.
"This didn't end as you expected," Beck began, obviously speaking to their teacher, who kept watching the exchange with mild interest, sipping from his usual drink, "did it?"
"No, not really," he replied with a sigh, covering his eyes with his free hand, "but... It does give me an idea. Tori, Trina, take a seat please."
"But I must return to my class," the tanned female began, puzzled.
"It will only take a minute," Sikowitz said with a strained smile, "please take a seat."
She sat besides her sister, oblivious at how upset said girl was with her for ruining the scene. The teacher didn't pay any mind to it either, far to focused on his vision for the moment.
"Well," he began, taking another sip, "since no one seems to understand what I'm trying to explain, I'll have to work on it.
"Tori, you'll be Trina, Trina, you'll be Tori, Jade, you'll be Cat and Cat, you'll be Jade."
"Yay!" The redhead cheered. "I get to be mean all day!"
"Wait," Tori began as the other two stared at the insane man, "you want us to act as the other?"
"Nope," he replied mysteriously.
"Then what do you mean, Sikowitz?" Jade demanded, her voice still sounding as bored as ever.
"Oh you'll see," he replied, sporting a very strange and terrifying smile that made the Latinas squirm; Cat was too lost to see and Jade was impervious to it all, craning an elegant eyebrow.
"I think your drink finally made you cross the line", Trina replied, getting up slowly, her eyes never leaving the insane man, clearly terrified, "whatever, I got to go. If I get in trouble..."
"I'll talk with your teacher," the man replied, nonchalant, waving a hand to dismiss her.
Just then, the bell rang and it was clear that no one wanted to be left behind. Most were scared, specially over his last remark, while others were confused. The redhead was slightly scared, since she caught the last comment.
"So I guess it's official now," Robbie began, frowning a bit. "Sikowitz lost it."
"You ever doubted his madness?" Andre asked, a little freaked out.
"That was terrifying," Tori added, clearly worried; unlike the boys, she was in the midst of it all.
"Yeah, that was odd," Cat added, "even for him..."
"Look who's talking about odd behavior," Rex began, tone thick with irony, "teakettle calling the pot black?"
"Rex!" Exclaimed the ventriloquist, clearly upset, "if you don't stop insulting Cat, I'll backpack you!"
"Fine!" The puppet snapped, "I'll keep my trap shut..."
"I agree with Cat," said Beck, looking pensive and worried at the same time, "Sikowitz has always been strange, but today, he was terrifying..."
"Ugh, you're making too much of it," Jade began, rolling her eyes as she went to her locker, "he's only trying to scare us just so that we act as he wants."
"Well, it's working," Tori said, still worried, not minding the Goth's scoff, "what do you think, Trina?"
Just then, the eldest Vega sibling was walking down the hall, drinking some coffee, as if she hadn't been scared out of her wits a few moments ago. "What about?"
"What Sikowitz told us?" Asked the redhead, uncertain.
"Oh, that... Yes well, I always knew he was mad, but I owe him my entrance to Hollywood Arts, so I respect him some way." She began walking away, waving a bit, leaving her sister confused in her wake. "Adieu!"
"Well, I think Jade's right," André began, shrugging at the inquiring eyes, "he just acted like that so you would get scared and act better together."
"I hope you're right..." Tori said with a sigh, still unconvinced.
Afterwards, they all had a normal Monday, or as normal as it could get in Hollywood Arts. Jade and Tori, arguing, Cat as bizarre as always, and Trina being as exasperating as always.
The day continued, with the Vega siblings going home together, having a usual afternoon. But once dinner time arrived, things began getting strange.
The family sat around the table, enjoying the company and presence of the other, when Mr. Vega said he had an announcement to make.
"Wait," Tori said, looking around and noticing only she and her sister had plates, "you guys aren't eating dinner with us?"
"No," he replied; nothing in his tone or his facial expression gave away what was about to happen, "something happened."
"What?" Asked their youngest, clearly worried; Trina ate happily, clearly not minding whatever news would be.
"Your mother needs to go see your aunt Sonya," he replied, still far too stoic, "she's sick and we need to leave as soon as possible. Neither of you can come, since you both got school tomorrow."
"Oh," both teens replied, but Tori, of course, had to add, "hope she's fine."
"She will be," their mother assured them, "it's just flu, but since today she'll be alone, I want to take care of her for the night."
"Okay mom," Tori replied softly, then looked at her father, "what about you dad?"
"Crime never rests," he replied, his mask leaving and revealing a rather tired police officer, "we have a rather thick case in our hands..."
"Go take care of the city," Trina said fondly, then waved at them both, "and aunt Sonya; we'll be okay for one night."
"Okay, call us if anything happen," Holly instructed them seriously as she picked her purse and walking towards the door besides her husband.
"We will," Trina promised.
"Please, don't make a disaster;" David was begging them with his eyes, then these became serious as he finished, "you know the drill, no parties, and no boys."
"Say hi to aunt Sonya from my part," Tori added weakly a second before the door closed, meanwhile her sister scowled at their father's parting words.
They sat in silence, eating their dinner dinner slowly. Suddenly, the youngest gasped and dropped a spoon full of mashed potatoes. Wincing, she took hold of her head and, as usually happened during those rare occasions, the eldest looked at her so concern.
"What's wrong Tori?" She asked softly; the girl in question wasn't sure if it was because she was actually worried for her, or because she was the eldest, and was afraid of taking such responsibility.
"Just," another wince and the skinny sibling had to take a breath, "feeling a tad bit dizzy..."
"Oh," asked the older sister a little worried do you want me call mom or dad?
"No, no" said the skinny girl with another wince and taking a deep breath before keep going "I just... need to rest"
"Oh..." That was her best reply? "Why don't you go to bed?" Huh? Maybe Trina wasn't feeling good either. "I'll take care of the dishes."
"Are you okay?" Tori asked as confused as her sister; she never liked to wash the dishes, so it was really weird to hear the offer coming from her.
"Duh!" The eldest sneered at the other mildly, but her confusion was obvious; clearly, she had no idea why she had offered, "if my little sister's feeling sick, the least I can do for her is to wash the dishes," a mild glare just had to be given, "you'll owe me one."
"Um, thanks Treen," but the offer made was worrisome; since when did Trina-
As soon as she stood, she felt the world tilting and all thought process was muted as she did her best not to fall. Wincing and a gasp later, she managed to leave the table, as well as Trina, behind. She was hardly able to walk, let alone go up the stairs. She felt sick, really sick, far too dizzy for it to be normal, and felt the need to empty her belly from her barely eaten dinner.
Barely able, the youngest Vega managed to enter her room, changed to her pjs, and not even bothering with the covers, she fell on her mattress and covered her face. She thought she heard plates breaking, but she was too tired and too sick to be able to do something about it. She was certain that, if she even tried to stand, she would faint; everything was spinning around her, and before she could do anything, even think, she fell asleep. Most likely, she blacked out.
