Disclaimer: Surprisingly, I don't own Victorious

Once again the two girls were arguing. Every day they fought about something, big or small, as they walked through the halls of Hollywood Arts to their second period math class. Tori heavily doubted the other girl would even be walking with her if any of her other friends had the same first period class as them. She would probably walk with her ex, Beck, over her. Honestly, she didn't even know if Jade would consider her her friend. She did tell Tori she hated her often, but then again, it was Jade, and for her that may as well have been a term of endearment.

"I can't believe this Vega," Jade said, shaking her head while sipping from her cup of coffee. "I always knew you were a wuss, but I never thought you'd be too scared to ride on the Tornado." The Tornado, with its many high altitude drops, loops, and corkscrews, was Jade's favorite amusement park ride in all of California, and she strongly believed that if you had never ridden on it, you hadn't lived.

"I am NOT a wuss!" Tori huffed indignantly, glaring at the slightly taller girl. Jade just rolled her eyes and took another drink from her cup. "Seriously! I'm not a wuss! It's not my fault I don't go to amusement parks often. Anyways, you need at least two people in each car and I don't want to ride with some stranger, like, what if they vomit on me? Maybe all my friends are too scared!" Tori knew she was rambling on now and making excuses.

"Great, so now I know you're scared of amusement parks and strangers too," Jade taunted. "And all your friends are too lame to go with you."

"Hey!" Tori exclaimed. "Take that back. They're your friends too you know."

The other girl continued to focus on the cup in her hand, smirking. "Sorry, too busy drinking my coffee to keep talking to you." She looked like she was enjoying this way more than she should.

Tori was fed up, and acted in the only way she knew how to to get her friends to stop paying too much attention to their food. She ripped Jade's coffee cup away from her, and licked the opening of the lid. "VEGA, NO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Jade screamed at her. Now Tori was the one smirking. Normally Jade didn't react when she did this, and would just keep drinking like normal when her drink was returned to her. Tori guessed that she finally got to her.

"You aren't too busy drinking your coffee now to take what you said back, are you?" Tori asked sweetly before taking a sip of the coffee. She nearly spit it out at its bitter flavor. She forgot Jade always drank her coffee black.

Jade snatched her drink back. "You MORON!" Unsurprisingly, none of the other students in the hall were paying any attention to them, since scenes like these occurred frequently.

"What, you think I got cooties?"

"No, I think you're a complete idiot." She fidgeted at the black choker around her neck with her free hand, and her eyes darted to look at the ground. "Remember when I was out of school for a while a couple weeks ago?"

Tori just stared blankly at her companion.

"With mono?" Jade added, trying to help the uncomprehending girl. "It spreads through saliva and can stay active in a person's body for a few weeks, even after the symptoms are gone, and you just took a huge sip from the coffee cup I've been drinking all morning."

"Oh, shit," Tori muttered while wiping furiously at her tongue. "Uh, do you think I'll get it?"

"I don't know. I guess you'll see in a few weeks. Even for you, that was a really stupid thing to do. For your sake I hope you don't get it."

"Really? I thought you liked seeing me sick. And sad."

"Okay well, seeing you suffer through a cold is kind of funny, but mono really fucking sucks," Jade said, scrunching up her face. She let out an exasperated sigh and shook her head again.

The two girls walked the rest of the way to math in silence, and by the time they got there, Tori swore she could already feel herself starting to get sick.
