Vega residence

Tori walked in with the mail and, as she stepped inside, Trina literally tackled her to the couch.

-OWW! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?

-Bills, bills, brochures, YES! - The elder Vega yelled as she found an envelope among the rest

Tori got up and picked the remaining correspondence from the floor. After that she went after her.

-What are you so excited about? - Tori asked

Trina glared at her.

-Now now, don't be picky, you'll know in due time. - She said with a wink

Tori walked out intrigued and decided to find out what her older sister was after. Specially because as days went by Trina kept acting weird. And the most unexpected person took notice.

-Vega. -Jade said

-What?

The goth girl stood before her.

-Let me see your hand, -She coldly said

Tori extended her hand and the next second she found herself dragged to the janitor's closet. As the door closed Jade spoke.

-Not that I care but what in the blue blazes is wrong with you?

-Why?

-Sikowitz assigned you to do Romeo and Juliet with Sinijin and you didn't say a word.

-WHAT? Oh man!

-So again, what's wrong?

-I'm worried about Trina... She's up to something and I'm honestly worried.

-Have you asked her about it?

-Yes but she's been mysterious, I can't even get in her room.

-Come on. -Jade said

-Where what HEY!

In a matter of seconds she found herself in Beck's car.

-This is Beck's car -Tori said

-Thank you Captain obvious.

-Where are you taking me?

-To the dessert to leave you there.

-WHAT! -Tori replied in fear

-Oh dear God... We're going to your house to find out what is going on.

-WHAT? WHY?

-Trina is at school now, your Dad is in the precinct and since today is Tuesday your mom is at the Spa.

-Wait, how do you know all this? - Tori asked

-I do my research - Jade answered with an evil grin on her face

Minutes later they arrived to the Vega residence, Tori went up to Trina's room and began to search for clues. Jade arrived minutes later with a glass of soda and an devilish smile on her face.

-What? - Tori asked

-Your parents are very kinky... and your mom has very good taste in lingerie.. -Jade said with an evil grin

-Wait, what were you doing in my parents... EWW!

Jade laid on the bed laughing.

-So, found what you were looking for? -the goth girl asked

-I'm still looking... she must have it around here...

From the night table Tori went to check Trina's desk, when she opened a drawer she saw the envelope she remembered Trina taking from her a few days before.

-I found it...

-Great, and?

She handed Jade the envelope, the goth girl began to laugh.

-Oh... my... gosh... for real?

-IT'S NOT FUNNY! -Tori exploded

-It is for me - Jade replied with a grin

Tori glared at her and sunk in the desk chair, Jade sat on the bed.

-What is the big deal? She wants to be on American Idol, so?

-SO? TRINA CAN'T SING!

-Noooo... - Jade said sarcastically

Tori glared at her.

-Look, what's new about it? For the last two years that you have been in Hollywood Arts and the three I have known her it's no secret that she has not talent, and hadn't been for you she wouldn't even be in Hollywood Arts. - Jade said

-You think I don't know that?

-Then why are you making such a fuzz? -replied Jade

-Remember her musical?

-The one Robbie reviewed as a comedy?

-When she found out... she cried for days... she was very very depressed... you don't know Trina... she... she makes everyone think she's strong and all... but... she's as fragile as Cat... remember the day I sang and got into Hollywood Arts?

-She didn't sang so?

-Lance told me that he was relieved I came around...

-Why?

-Because they weren't going to let her sing...

-Wait what? - Jade sat up in shock

-Lance had already decided that because of the school directors that were in the audience they couldn't risk them hearing Trina... so... Lance was about to tell her when she wrecked her tongue and I ended up on stage in her place.

-So, that's why they gave you the scholarship, because you saved the night.

-Right... so the point is... Trina has never tried to sing in public again... if... if she does this... she'll be humiliated on National Television... Jade what do I do?

-If you really want to protect her... tell her the truth - Jade replied

-You think?

-Yes, now let's go back to school before Sikowitz starts asking questions.

As they drove back to Hollywood Arts Tori remained silent. Jade decided not to bother her. Two days later, as they were leaving class, Jade held Tori's hand.

-What?

-Did you told her? - she asked

-No... Not yet.

-What are you waiting for? I can tell her if you want -Jade said with grin

- NO! You think it's that simple? Just go and tell her "Hey Trina guess what, you're talentless and stupid, please don't go to American Idol, you'll embarrass yourself..."

Unbeknown to them, Trina was about to enter the classroom to pick Tori, upon hearing the argument she stopped and listened to every word uttered by her little sister...

-So... that's what you think about me... - the elder Vega said with tears in her eyes.
