Jade and Tori sit in Jade's car in the parking lot of their high school. Jade has long ago turned off the car and Tori is frightened of what she is thinking. She had lost a bet to Jade the night before and she had to do whatever Jade told her to do for the next two days. It was a terrible bet to make.
"Put this on." Jade tosses a leather collar onto Tori's lap.
"What?" Tori lifts the heavy ring into her hands and looks at it suspiciously.
"Go ahead, it's just a like a dog collar, not too difficult for you to figure out, is it?" Jade scoffs. Tori glares at Jade.
"I am not wearing a collar at school." She tries to push it back at Jade.
"Yes, you are. That is the first thing I want you to do, and you lost the bet, so you have to do it." She bobs her head forward motioning for Tori to do as she says. Tori sighs heavily and drops the offending article back onto her legs. She ties up her hair quickly before fastening the thick band around her neck.
"Wow, this is uncomfortable." She twists her head side to side experimentally. Jade chuckles and hooks a leash to the metal ring on the collar.
"Sit girl." She smirks. Tori looks around the cramped car confused.
"Stay." Jade commands as she opens her door. Tori's brow furrows as she watches Jade walk around the front of the car and open her door. Once her door is opened she swings her legs to the side and puts her feet on the ground. She stands and Jade hits her on the nose.
"Bad girl!" She admonishes. "No!" She says. By now people are looking at the two girls and Tori turns a furious shade of pink. Jade grabs the leash and gives it a tug as she kicks the car door closed.
"Come." She says simply and pulls Tori along by the neck into their school. Tori has no other option except to follow after Jade, so she does.
They walk into Sikowitz's class and Jade drops her bag onto a chair and lands in the one beside it. She points to the floor next to her chair.
"Sit." She smiles. Tori's mouth drops open. She shakes her head and Jade's smile slips off of her face.
"I said sit." She yanks roughly on Tori's collar and the girl lands on her hands and knees in front of Jade.
"This wasn't part of the bet!" Tori snaps. Jade glances over at her.
"It wasn't not part of it either." She says smugly. Tori looks down at the ground as she deciphers Jade's double negative. Just as she is about to retort Sikowitz bursts into the room. He runs up the isle and turns around to face the class.
"Acting exercise!" He shouts. "You are all underwa – why are you on the floor?" He finally spots Tori sitting beside Jade.
"I don't know." Tori answers and glares at Jade.
"Well, then, get up and put your caboose in a seat!" Sikowitz yells with a flourish.
"No." Jade holds tightly to Tori's leash. "I told her to sit on the floor." She spoke up.
"Jade, I don't care about your silly little bet, I got you a pass to let her wear a collar in school without getting in trouble, but having her sit on the floor is degrading. She isn't a dog." Sikowitz sips at his coconut as he speaks in a moment of clarity. Tori stands happily.
"Wait! You know about the bet? You're letting her do this to me?" Tori suddenly faces Sikowitz and wraps her fingers around the leather on her neck.
"Oh yes, don't get angry at me." He waves her off. "I didn't force you to make a bet with Jade. This is your own fault." He points to the chair beside Jade.
"Now sit down." He orders. Tori grumbles as Jade cockily sets her bag on the ground to make room for Tori beside her.
"What a good girl." Jade smirks in her face. Tori sticks out her tongue.

Jade walks into Tori's house with Tori following her. She still wears the collar and she looks utterly exhausted. She drops both her and Jade's bags onto the floor beside her door and groans. She trudges over to her couch and falls face first onto the red material.
"Ah, ah, ah" Jade pulls her up by the collar.
"We're not done yet." She pulls a length of rope out of her bag.
"Jade, it has been two days, you kept me up last night watching horror movies, I am so tired." She groans as Jade turns her around.
"Forty-eight hours was the deal, Vega. I've still got thirty minutes." She tells her as she pulls Tori's arms behind her back. She ties her wrists together with the rope and jerks on it to make sure it holds.
"Come on." Jade loops her finger through the ring on Tori's collar and pulls her up the stairs. Tori follows behind Jade uncomfortably. Her arms are strained behind her back and she can already feel the rope digging into her tender flesh. Jade opens Tori's bedroom door and guides her in. She sits her on her bed. Jade then begins to pull off her jacket and grins at Tori with an animalistic twinkle in her eye.
"Uh, what are you doing?" Tori asks.
"Keep your mouth shut." Jade orders slowly. Tori's mouth snaps shut. Listening to Jade has become second nature. Jade walks forward and places her hands on Tori's shoulders. She leans forward and brushes her lips across Tori's.
"Uhm." Tori's eyes drift close as her lips part.
"Shhhhh," Jade smiles before kissing her again. Tori goes to touch Jade and realizes that her arms are tied behind her. She grunts as she pulls on her restraints and Jade chuckles against her lips.
"Oh, would you look at that." She murmurs. Tori is frustrated as Jade straddles her lap and continues to kiss her. After getting Tori very tense and aggravated she slips off of her legs and reaches for the leather band around her neck. She unfastens the clip and pulls it away from her skin.
"I'll keep this around." Jade grins and leaves the room. Tori expects her to return but finds that she doesn't. Her disappointment turns into anger as she tugs at her restrained arms and groans.
"Jade!" She exclaims and falls over on her side.
How will she ever explain this to her family?
