Chapter 1
Part 1: Narrated by Tori
As I sat on my couch, I heard a soft knock on my door. I could recognize that knock any day. "Come in, Andre!" I yelled.
"Hey Tori!" Andre replied in the sweet, friendly way he always does. "I got some good news! Remember Karaoke Dokie?"
Wow. I hadn't been there in so long. "Yeah. Why? Is it closing?"
"Kind of. Mrs. Lee, ya know, from Nozu. She's buying it and turning it into a Mini-Nozu with Karaoke!"
"No way! But… what about those girls. Hayley and…" I stumbled on the annoying blonde's name.
Andre reminded me, "Tara. Yeah, they're not too happy. But who cares? Now Mrs. Lee says when it opens, we can perform there Saturday nights for 30 bucks a night!"
I was in shock. "Shut up!"
"True chizz!" Andre remarked in his comedic ways.
All of the sudden a loud slam of a door was heard from upstairs. Trina came running down the steps very quickly. "WHAT! Mrs. Lee didn't want me to sing too!" Trina hollered. "Well, I can perform too, right?"
Andre stuttered, "Er…"
I helped him out, "Probably not."
Trina's mood changed from anxiousness to despair. "Oh," she responded. "I'll be upstairs if you need me." Trina walked slowly up the steps. I could tell she was let down, as usual. I
I broke the awkward silence that had followed. "How about we meet up with Mrs. Lee and get some more deats tomorrow at lunch?"
Andre replied, "Sounds good. See you at school."
"Bye."
Later that day, we all met up in Sikowitz's class. Once again, Sikowitz had some strange lesson planned out to teach us. "Today, we are going to learn about oh look at that bird out there!"
Our class looked out the window when Sikowitz continued with his lesson. "We are learning about distracting! Ha! I got you all!"
Beck spoke up, "Distracting what? Your class from learning?" Beck had that slightly teasing yet nice voice that only a Beck could have.
Sikowitz came back at him, "Very funny. No. In theater, or live filming, actors must stay in character no matter their surroundings."
Jade spoke her first insult of the day. "That's stupid."
Sikowitz surprisingly got fired up, "Well distracting things is a part of life! So get over it!"
Jade responded in her ever so memorable way, "Oh," in a deep, long tone.
After that the bell had rang, even though we hadn't even learned anything yet. That seemed to happen often in Sikowitz's class. Sikowitz, still upset, told us to, "Just get out." But hey, that's Sikowitz for you.
Part 2: Narrator
After the bell rang, the gang left Sikowitz class. As Robbie went to get some Wahoo Punch, Cat came up from behind him. "Hey Robbie!" Cat exclaimed in her sweet but excited voice. It was like she had read his mind and knew he wanted to talk to her.
Robbie replied, "Hey, little lady!"
Cat flirtatiously hit his chest and sweetly said, "You're so funny!" That was when he decided to ask her.
"Hey. Cat. Do you… want to go have d-dinner at Nozu tonight?" Robbie was obviously a little nervous, hoping she wouldn't reject him. Luckily, Cat did the opposite.
"Of course I will!" She responded excitedly. "See you at 7!" Then she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and walked off.
Meanwhile, Jade was at her locker when Sinjin walked up to her.
"So, Jade," Sinjin said as seductively as Sinjin could. "Are you still single and ready to mingle?"
Jade didn't even look back when she told him to walk away.
"Okay," Sinjin glumly replied. Then he walked off to add more undigested food to his locker.
Before Jade was done at her locker, Beck walked up to her, much to Jade's annoyance. "Jade. Can we please talk?"
Jade replied, "I don't think we have anything to talk about." Beck would not give up though.
"Come on, Jade. Just because we broke up doesn't mean we can't still be friends," Beck argued.
Jade, who got annoyed very quickly, began to shout. "Fine! Let's just start fresh and pretend that we never dated and never broke up. Deal?"
Beck, surprised by Jade's outburst, quickly agreed. "Yes."
Jade let her temper drop out and quietly said, "Fine," and walked off.
Beck thought to himself, "Well, at least she's nicer now."
