Tori Vega and Andre Harris sat in Tori's house after school rehearsing a scene they had to do for Sikowitz, their crazy drama teacher's class. Tori and Andre had been best friends ever since Andre was paired with Trina, Tori's awful and untalented sister for the big Hollywood Arts showcase. The night of the showcase Trina had an allergic reaction and Tori had to perform in her place. Tori performed so well she was offered immediate admission into Hollywood Arts and the rest is history.-

Tori loved being best friends with Andre. She loved how he was crazy talented, how he had and amazing voice and how he could write songs like nobody's business. She loved how he showed up at her house with frozen yogurt at random times and how when

He knew she was tired he brought her coffee with the perfect amount of cream and just the right amount of sugar. She loved spending time with him and just hanging out. Although lots of people thought they were a couple or dating, Tori never saw Andre in that way. He was always just a really good friend.

"Don't tell me what to do! You're not my father!" Tori read from the script.

"Can't you see Elaine that I am just trying to protect you?" Andre counteracted

"Why do you care so much anyway?" Tori asked. Andre took a step towards her. Tori knew there was a kiss in this scene, so she was prepared. He was so close she could feel his breath on the bridge of her nose as he looked down on her. Tori closed her eyes as he gently cupped her chin and softly pressed his lips against hers. It was the softest, sweetest kiss Tori had ever experienced. When he pulled away she kept her eyes closed and tried to savor and remember the moment.

"Um… Tori?" Andre asked, concern laced in his voice.

"Hm?" she replied, her eyes still closed.

"Was that okay?"

"Perfect."

After Tori said that her eyes snapped open in realization. Was she seriously gushing over that kiss? A totally platonic, stage kiss. A kiss that meant absolutely nothing. But she felt something. She just wasn't sure what. Instantly, feeling self conscious, she said "It was great. We'll definitely get an A on this one."

"Cool." Andre relaxed and smiled at her. "Do you want to do it again?"

"Um, no. Let's just watch TV."

They settled on watching a movie about some lady who had killed a bunch of people and was on the LAM.

"Don't you think it would've been smarter for her to check into that hotel with a fake name instead of her real one? She's a stupid criminal." Andre commented. But Tori wasn't paying attention to the movie in the slightest. She was busy noticing cute, quirky things about Andre she had never noticed before. Like how when he laughed his smile went all the way up to his eyes where they crinkled at the edges or how when he was anxious he pretended to play piano on his lap. All of it was adorable.

"Tori? Hello? TORI!"

"Huh?"

"You were staring at me and really freaking me out…"

"Oh. Sorry." Tori ducked her head in embarrassment.

"Is everything okay?"

"Yup, peachy." Tori but on her best smile.

Andre still looked skeptical. "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely. Everything is perfect."

"Okay, if you say so." Andre said but still looked at her.

Just then, Cobra Starship's Make Me Feel was playing throughout the Vega's living room. It was Andre's phone.

"Hello?" Although Tori was glad he was concerned about her, she was grateful for the distraction. If he would've pushed the issue more, she might've told him. But told him what exactly, she didn't know. She had no idea what she felt. The thing she felt most was confused.

"That was Grandma again. She freaking out about the vacuum. I gotta go. I'll call you later Tor."

"Kay." He grabbed his jacket and keys off the couch. She flushed briefly as he hugged her goodbye. She walked him to the door. After he left she shut the door and flopped down on the couch to watch the remainder of the movie.

"Andre Harris, what are you doing to me?"
