André

"André, please just tell me."

"Bu-"

"Come on" The urgency in Tori's tone cut me off.

"Don't you think it might change things?" The question seemed to come out as a plea for the answer I desired.

"Everything changes… but this time it might be for the better." A smile snuck across my face as she stepped toward me.

"For real?" I couldn't help myself. This was too good to be true.

"Gosh you are such a boy!" she exclaimed in mock frustration, hitting me on the arm.

"Help me out" I muttered.

"I love you." As soon as the words left her lips, my jaw dropped through the floor and left me struggling to recover.

"W-what?"

"ENHH!" Sikowitz's loud buzzer noise snapped me out of Tori's trance. "Sorry, André, Tori's sentence started with an 'i', so yours should have begun with a 'g'."

"Don't you mean 'j'?" Robbie interjected from the back of the room, the forehead under his thick curls creased in thought.

"That's what I said," Sikowitz replied. "Drive-by acting exercise! You're talking dogs with your heads out of the car window for the first time. Go!" Immediately the class sprung into action. Nice save, I thought with a wry smile before joining my peers.

The sound of the bell was still ringing in my ears when Jade yelled "Dude! What's the assignment?" Sikowitz had promised to give us our next assignment today. After my ABC improv flub, I had completely forgotten.

"Ah, yes! Your assignment." Sikowitz exclaimed. The class sat with bated breath, as he stared back at us. The only noise in the room was Cat's soft giggling.

The wait was stretching into awkwardness when Rex yelled, "Just say it man!"

"Is going to be a cover. You can choose either a duet or a solo."

"A song? But you're our drama teacher." Tori laughed.

"Fine then, sing a … dramatic song."

"This one time, my brother..." Cat began, but was promptly cut off by Jade.

"Save it," She hissed, just as Cat began to cry. "Ugh," Jade groaned, "Here, have a kitty." She snapped, throwing a plush toy in Cat's general direction.

"But-"

"Pretty. Kitty." Jade steamrolled over her yet again, as she led an apologetic Beck out of the room.

Searching across the classroom, I felt a sense of relief wash over me as I caught Tori's eye and she gave a small nod to indicate that we would do a duet together. I walked out of the room to the sound of Cat making her new 'pretty kitty' meow.

André Harris: Have you ever wondered what a cat making cat noises for another cat sounds like? Drama room. Now.
