Tori, Andre', Cat, and Robbie were having lunch together that Friday.
"Ooh!" Cat announced, looking through the same advertisement magazine for the past few weeks.
"Cat?" Andre' said.
"Yes?"
"You're OBSSESSED with the magazine thing."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"He's right you know." Tori muttered, defending her best guyfriend.
"Thanks, Tori." He got out his portable keyboard and began toying with it. Cat looked over at Robbie.
"Hey!"
"What?" Robbie asked suspiciously.
"Where's Rex?"
"Got rid of him."
"WHAT?" Tori, Andre, and Cat said at the same time.
"Well…he's gotten annoying so I sold him. No more questions." He took a sip of his apple juice.
"Fine by me." Tori said, looking at Andre's keyboard.
He noticed.
"Tor? Tori?"
"Huh?"
"Wat'cha lookin' at?"
"Nothing, nothing. Just thinking."
He nodded. "About…?"
"Things."
"Like…?"
She rolled her eyes, giggling softly. "NOTHING, Andre."
He laughed too. "Whatever, white girl."
"Didn't I already tell you I'm half Latina?"
"Whoa, whoa okay mu cha cha!"
Tori smiled in approval.
Later on that night in her bedroom…
A sleeping Tori slept very peacefully until her phone buzzed. Sleepily, she got it from under her pillow and saw 2 text messages. One was from Cat that read:
Tor, i hope u don't mind but i'm comin over for a sleepova. B sides i need 2 tlk 2 u. it's important!
She texted back:
K
Then she saw the other was from Andre' and sat up quickly. She was wide awake now.
Hey Tor. u wake?
She smiled.
just now. any reason y ur textin' me dis late on a FRIDAY?
She got his text back about 20 seconds later.
2 rezonz 1 im bored and 2 ur the only one I wanna tlk to right now
Tori blushed.
:D
Then she began singing softly to herself…
"How can I decide what's right?
When you're clouding up my mind
Can't win your losing fight all the time
Not gonna ever own what's mine
When you're always taking sides
You won't take away my pride
No not this time
Not this time
"How did we get here?
I use to know you so well
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know
"The truth is hiding in your eyes
And its hanging on your tongue
Just boiling in my blood,
But you think that I can't see
What kind of man that you are
If you're a man at all
Well, I will figure this one out on my own
(I'm screaming "I love you so..." But my thoughts you can't decode)
"How did we get here?
I use to know you so well
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know
"Do you see what we've done?
We're gonna make such fools of ourselves
Do you see what we've done?
We're gonna make such fools of ourselves…-"
She heard someone knocking on the door and got up. It was Cat.
"Hey, Cat." She greeted. "Um, how did you get in the front door?"
"The key under the eave." She smiled, as usual.
"Ah. Come on let's hang out in the living room."
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes

Cat interrupted her thoughts as they sat down on the couch.
"So what's up?"
"Hmm?" Her phone buzzed. She checked it.
:P vry funny u r
She smiled a little.
Thanx dude
"Who was that from?"
"Who was what?"
"Who texted you?"
"Andre'."
"What did he say?"
"Nothing really."
Yeah
I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
To go back to a place much simpler than this
Cause after all the partyin' and smashin' and crashin'
And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion
And all the pandemonium and all the madness
There comes a time where you fade to the blackness
And when you're staring at that phone in your lap
And you hoping but them people never call you back
But that's just how the story unfolds
You get another hand soon after you fold
And when your plans unravel
And they sayin' what would you wish for
If you had one chance
So airplane airplane sorry I'm late
I'm on my way so don't close that gate
If I don't make that then I'll switch my flight
And I'll be right back at it by the end of the night…
"Uh, huh." Cat smiled. "Lemme see."
"Why?"
"Or better yet…can I ask you something?"
"Sure, what is it?" Tori began to get nervous as she looked out the window.
