The play went well after Jade and I closed the awkward atmosphere between us. Of course we're still not friends (according to her) but I've always treated her like one. As of now, I think that she's one of my friends even though she's rough towards me and all she does is make my life miserable.
"Hey Vega quit standing there like an idiot im hungry" there she goes again but this time she's with Beck and the rest of our friends including Cat, Robbie and - "Hey where's Andre?" I don't see him around in fact I haven't seen him after the play.
"Oh well maybe he's just with his grandma" Robbie said but he wasn't really paying any attention to me "One time my brother helped our grandma crossed the street but he hates the sound of the cars so he left our grandma alone and he went straight back home" that was Cat. I saw her whimper at the thought of her brother being careless about their grandma. Also she just told another "epic" tale about her psychotic brother which we haven't even met yet. And I never dreamed of meeting him as well.
"So what's the menu for lunch?" I ignored her and asked Robbie. Since Beck and Jade have their own food. Cat, Robbie, and I are the only ones who buys lunch. "Oh im not buying lunch mom made me a huge burrito and guess what? She added tons of pickles in it" He said excitingly, "No one cares about your stupid burrito" Rex said before laughing like a bully. "REX! you're a demon!" after saying those words to his puppet they went back to our table while arguing like they're little kids. I guess that leaves me and Cat.
After waiting for several minutes I ordered a salad and Cat bought herself a pizza. We went back to our table and I sat beside Robbie while the perky little redhead sat beside Jade. "So do you guys have any plans for this upcoming weekend?" Cat asked while taking out her purple stuffed animal.
"Rex and I will be playing golf this Saturday" surprisingly Rex didn't say anything mean towards Robbie and he just nods his head meanwhile Cat clapped her hands, "That's nice what about you Beck?" she turned to look at Beck. "Well I am going to watch a movie with my friend" Cat nodded and then she looked at me "What?" I was chewing one of the vegetables of my salad so my voice is a bit crumbly "So what are you doing this Saturday Tori?" She gave me her precious-innocent-looking smile. "Well I-"
"Tori and I will be having a sleepover at her house this Saturday" Jade said while looking straight into my eyes… Wait what?
"We are?" I asked with knitted eyebrows, "Oooooh a sleepover! Can I come?" Cat looks so excited while tapping both of her feet on the ground. "NO!" but the smile on her face faded when Jade turned her down. Wait we're talking about my house here
"Aww its ok I wouldn't be able to go with you guys anyway. My mom wants me to babysit her supervisor's dog so I'll be staying up all night at my mom's boss" Then she continued eating her pizza. I feel bad for her because she loves having sleepover so much. She told me that she doesn't like sleeping at her house because her brother always shouts in the middle of the night making her squeal in terror. Poor Cat.
"Andre where have you been?" Beck spoke and we all noticed that Andre is coming this way, "I had to take my grandmother home before she freaks everyone out of this school" he sat down beside Beck while unpacking the lunch that he brought with him. "How's everyone doing?" he asked.
"I was just asking everyone if they have any plans for this upcoming weekend" Cat giggled while holding her purple giraffe on her left arm. Maybe this is the reason why she bought a pizza. So that she can bring her precious giraffe with her while eating. "Do you want some pizza?" she asked her purple stuffed animal and then she laughed because of her silliness. It was one of her signature laugh. You know the laugh of a little kid who sounds like he or she is drowning…. Might as well choking or begging for help.
"Oh well that's nice I'll just be spending my whole Saturday with my grandma because she might go nuts if she finds out that im not in the house" Andre replied to Cat. "She might think someone kidnap me." He added.
"Anyways, what time are you going to my house this saturday Jade? Lucky you my parents are out of town for about two weeks" I asked but im not looking at her because im too busy enjoying the salad in front me. She did say that she's going to have a sleepover at my house but im not sure if she's serious about it. At least im asking her so that I would know if she's coming or not, right?
"Eat your food Vega. I'll be there when I get there" the nerve, why do I even consider her as my friend?

After watching the scissoring for a couple of times I began to take a bath and prepare myself for my upcoming visit at Tori's house. Actually my original plan is to finish the new play that im directing for Mr. Hamilton's activity tonight but I don't want to look like a total loser in front of my so-called-friends since they are having special plans of going out this weekend… I have no other choice but to drag Vega with me. But im a bit surprised that she didn't ask me why I want to have a sleepover at her house (knowing that I sort of hate her) but not that much anymore.
Ever since Beck and I broke up. I realized that im better off without him. Yes I loved him in some way but I felt so much better without having to yell and fight with him every single day. Whether it occurs in text messages or when we're together it doesn't matter now because we're not a thing anymore and we won't have anything to argue about.
It sucks because he's the type of guy who would tolerate me no matter how much of a gank I am towards people. Now that I think about it I think he's only with me because he doesn't have any choice. It's like he has to put up with me because im his girlfriend and that he's stuck with me or something that's why he is tolerating my attitude. Well not anymore since we're already off.
I texted Tori using my pear phone and told her that I'll be there in a couple of minutes. I went outside to see if my father is busy in his office before going out of the window. I forgot to tell you that my dad is home and he doesn't want me to go out of the house because it's past my curfew but thanks to my window I can go out whenever I want and he wouldn't even know because he never checks my room.

"Why are you ordering a pizza?" Trina asked. I thought I already told her "I told you that one of my friends are coming tonight for a sleepover" I didn't look at her and continued changing the TV's channel because I doubt if Jade watches reality shows or even talk shows… The fact that she doesn't watch the news says a lot already. She said she doesn't care about the world's problems as long as it has nothing to do with her.
"Alright and who is this friend of yours?" she's prepping up for her so-called date with Casper Dean which she met when Hope, Andre's ex-girlfriend kicked her out of the birthday party. "Jade... Jade West" yes she knows how much Jade hates me, like hate hates me.
"You're inviting that Goth inside our house? and the worse part is, she's going to have a sleepover tonight. Well lucky you our parents are out of town for about two weeks" there she goes again mumbling and mumbling while walking around the living room.
"That's what I said to her but-" ding dong I bet that's Jade. "Tori open the door" Trina said while putting powder on her face. "That must be Dean" she went beside me while grinning like an idiot.
"Well let's go find out" when I opened the door, I saw jade with a guy who must be Dean because I saw his picture on my sister's bedside table once. "Hi Dean" he just waved his hand to Trina and he turned to me while giving me a charming smile I smiled back.
"So Tori, I'll be leaving you with Jade. Don't do anything stupid ok? Bye" then she closed the door. "Who was that guy?" Jade asked as she walk inside the living room "Trina's date, Casper" I motioned her to sit down on the couch and she gladly did. "Wow someone actually asked her on a date? What a miracle" she chuckled. I know what she meant and I laughed a little. "The pizza hasn't arrived yet so it might take a while" I placed two paper plates and forks on the coffee table. "You can go pick the show" she gladly took the remote of the TV and search along the channels. "God all of this sucks" she said while continuing to search for a better show to watch. "Well unless you brought any CD's with you we can watch that"
"As a matter of fact I did, thank god I brought them" she took out a pile of CD's from her bag and from what I see they're all about the series of 'the scissoring'
"I was re-watching most of them but since we're having a sleepover I figured out I'll bring some of them here" she placed one of the CD's on the DVD while grinning like she's about to do something bad. "Turn off the lights" she ordered. I did what she told me to do and sat on the left side of the couch since she's sitting on the right side already.
"This is gonna be fun" she smirked as she press the play button. The movie is quite boring because they do most of the talking and less on the killing (not that I want them to kill each other already) it's just that im not thrilled in the first part. But when we reached half of the movie most of the characters are getting interesting and scary so I am starting to like it now.
Then suddenly we heard the doorbell rang and both of us were taken aback because of the noise that it made. "I'll go get it" I stood up from my seat and went to the door that must be the pizza guy.

Where's Tori? I said to myself. She is taking too long and the movie is ending. I don't want her to miss this part because I saw how interested she is when the movie speed up. She's hasn't been back for more than five minutes so I decided to look for her.
I turned the lights on so it'll be easier for me to find her "Vega? What's taking you so long?" I yelled but she didn't answer. I approached the front door and there she is talking to that young, weird pizza guy.
"I don't want to go out with you I just want our pizza" I heard her say to the pizza guy, "I won't give you the pizza unless you agree to meet me at the karaoke dokie next Saturday Night" the pizza guy replied, he's so stupid and over achieving that he actually thinks Tori would go out on a date with him. Let's get this done.
"Babe? What's taking you so long? I was waiting for you" I kissed her on the cheek, "Y-you were?" she blushed and I think it was cute. So I look at her lips before smiling at her but she's still in a state of shock which made me chuckled. She's acting stupid so I gave her a mild look on the face, I think she got what I meant and decided to play along.
"O-oh yeah, im so sorry baby. But this pizza guy won't let me go unless I say yes to him and meet him on the karaoke dokie next Saturday" she explained while looking away from me and hiding the blush on her cheeks right now. Aww Vega.
"Listen up you dingbat. My girlfriend and I," I placed my right arm on Tori's shoulder "are watching a movie tonight and you're ruining it. Give us the pizza if you don't want to see my scissors on your throat" I smirked because he turned pale. Tori was shocked to hear me say that but I don't care. He gave us the pizza and I payed him of course but he was shaking when he took the bill.
"Hurry Vega, I need to pause the movie for you because it's ending" I left her standing there and went back to my seat. She followed and placed the pizza on the coffee table. She hasn't been saying anything after the pizza guy left. Don't tell me she likes that pizza guy.

After Jade's great acting about me and her as "a thing or two" in front of the pizza guy. I haven't said anything to her nor focused my attention in the movie. What are you doing Tori? I said to myself, she kissed me in the cheek omygod I was arguing with myself. So? It's a normal thing to do. She was acting for Pete's sake I am trying to convince myself that's it's only an act but when she threatened the pizza guy like she was a jealous girlfriend I couldn't help it. Maybe she likes me just a little?
"Vega are you ok?" get a grip of yourself Tori, you're acting like a love struck teenager who got noticed by her crush I know im so gay right now like who cares? She just kissed me in the cheek anyway.
No big deal or anything, "VEGA?" yeah now snap out of it because Jade is calling you right now Jade is what? "TORI VEGA! Are you there?" I went back to reality when I heard Jade's loud voice yelling at me.
"Yeah what? What?" I repeated, "I said are you ok? You look like you're about to go inside the television and be a part of the movie or something" she looked at me as if something's wrong with me "Anyways, the movie is finished and I almost finished half of the pizza while you're still eating yours. You haven't eaten half of it yet" she sounds pissed but I can sense that she's worried about me. Nonsense! Jade West doesn't know the meaning of that word "I just spaced out" I replied.
"Well it's time to call it a night im tired. Where's the shower?" she asked, "It's upstairs beside Trina's bedroom" I stood up and went all the way to my room. I fix Jade's bed on the floor since Trina's coming home soon so she can't sleep in Trina's bedroom.
She came inside my room and I saw her wearing nothing but a towel. Cheesus Crust? She didn't bring any clothes? "I forgot to bring my pajamas with me because I am in a hurry and I have to jumped out of the window instead of using our stairs because dad won't let me go out of the house when it's past my curfew" she explained.
She placed her clothes inside her bag and opened my closet to find a clean pair of pajamas, "Omygod most of your clothes are colorful and mushy" she turned to look at me, "I hate it" she added. "If you don't like my clothes then why are you still looking at it?" she's tossing more of my clothes on the floor. I rolled my eyes, I know what she's up too. She wants me to clean it later "I am only looking because I want too" she replied. That doesn't even make any sense. She's just making a huge pile of mess.
"You don't have to wear any clothes if you don't want too" I frowned, she looked at me with amusement in her eyes… Then it hit me but it was too late for me to take back what I said because I can already feel both of my cheeks burning. "Really? I don't have too?" she's smirking while moving closer to me.
Think Tori, think I stood up and pick all of my clothes that is lying on the floor, "You don't need to wear one because I have black pajamas on the cabinet" nice save I thought to myself as I put my clothes inside the closet. "Ok let me see them" she sat on edge of the bed as she waits for me to finish what im doing.
"Im sleeping on the bed" she must have noticed the blankets and pillows on the floor, "What? No im the one who's sleeping on the bed. MY BED" I emphasized the last two words to make it clear. I know that we're going to argue about this. I just thought that maybe she'll let this pass but im so wrong to think she'll let it go "Are you kidding me? the last time I checked I never sleep on the floor" she said.
"Really now?" I turn around to face her and I was right. She is frowning while both of her arms are crossed on her chest "Guess what? I, Victoria Vega will be sleeping on the bed and not on the floor tonight. And the last time I checked you're inside of my house… And my house my rules" I snapped back at her. She gave me her signature smirk "Who told you that you'll be sleeping on the floor tonight? As much as I hate the fact that you'll be sleeping right next to me, I wouldn't want to appear like a heartless demon just because I prefer you sleeping on the floor" She said. "So we'll both sleep on the bed" I sigh in relief, I thought she'll push the argument because I feel like giving up anytime soon.
"But in one condition I'll be sleeping on the right side" I frowned, I like sleeping on the right side "But I want to sleep on the right side" I pout, she gave me a stern look "No you'll sleep on the right side or else you'll be sleeping on the floor there is no in between" wow what an attitude, "But this is my house-"
"I don't care if this is your house im sleeping wherever the heck I want" I gave her a death glare. She's so bossy I hate her when she's like that. Now im starting to question myself why I allowed her to have a sleepover here "Fine. I'll sleep on the left side" I gave up. I didn't pay any more attention to her since im still busy putting and arranging my clothes in the closet.
"So where's the pajamas? Are you still going to give them to me? Or you're enjoying the fact that im wearing nothing but a towel. YOUR TOWEL" oh yeah right I forgot, she's still on my towel the thought of that made me somehow blush but since im facing my closet she wouldn't be able to see me "Im still looking for them can you at least be patient" I said sounding a little bit pissed.
"Here you go" I handed her a pair of black pajamas that I found, "I'll be back in ten" she headed to the bathroom. I sigh and I pick up all the pillows and the blankets on the floor. She's so persistent I don't feel the need of arguing so I let her go.

"Turn off the lights im going to bed" I told her and as usual she gave me a death glare, "Can't you do it yourself?" she said without looking at me. One of the things that makes me happy is when I annoy or irritate Vega. To be honest my day won't be complete if I don't put up an argument with her or piss her day off. Seeing Vega getting all messed up and frowning with my actions just makes me really happy.
After picking up the pillows and blankets that she placed on the floor she started to make herself comfortable on the left side of the bed "Vega lights out" I said but only a little bit louder this time.
"Happy now?" she rolled her eyes after doing what I just told her to do "Much better now sleep and you better not snore or I'll kick you out of the bed" I turned my back against her and pretended to fall asleep but in reality I can't because this is the first time that I went on a sleepover. I mean Cat tried to invite me plenty of times to stay the night at her house but I just rejected all them because it's out of my league. I only agreed to do this because I love torturing Vega in her own house.
After a couple of minutes I decided to turn my head to Vega and I saw how peaceful she is when she's sleeping. I mean of course this is also the first time I saw her sleep because I don't sleep with anyone else. Not even when Beck and I are still a thing.
I just noticed how cute she is when she's sleeping I whispered to myself. I know that deep inside there's something about Vega that makes me want to push her and pull her out of my life at the same time. She may not know it but Im actually glad that she treats me as her friend.
