"Decatur seems like she dosen't like me." Tori thought. "WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Beck screamed in victory from upstairs. Andre had a feeling Robbie had lost on purpose to avoid playing against Cat. Andre was determined to beat Cat today. "He cares more about that stupid game than me." Tori mumbled. "Watcha say Tori?" asked Andre. "Nothing Andre." 67 - 22 was the score when Tori returned up stairs. The B.o.B. posters and bedsheets in Andre's room gave Tori an idea. She would get him tickets to a B.o.B. concert and he would fall in love with her. "That's way to cliche" said Tori's conscience. "You're right." Tori said aloud. "Who's right?" Cat asked as Beck threw the controller onto the ground. The score was a dissapointing 109 - 27. " "I really have to stop saying the wrong things out loud." Tori thought. "Ain't that the truth." Her conscience replied. Tori was starting to fell like Robbie, and her conscience was Rex. Cat was patiently wating for Andre while Robbie and Beck were meeting Andre's family. He returned upstairs into his room with the dlc pack. "What were you going to ask me Tori?" asked Andre. "Nothing." she replied "look would you just ask him out." said Tori's conscience "I'm wating for the right moment." Tori replied. "You mean when he's making out with some blonde chick in his bedroom shirtless." her conscience replied. "WILL YOU SHUT UP!" Tori screamed out loud. Luckily no one was paying attention because Cat was losing! she was down 60 - 63 at halftime. "Enjoy it while it last." warned Cat. "I most certantly will." Andre responded. Decatur was spying on Andre, Cat, and Tori while Beck went to Jade's house and Robbie went home to get Rex to entertain Derrick. "If she is his girlfriend than he is a terrible boyfriend. He's not even acknowledging the fact that she's there." Tori sighed and looked at the scoreboard Andre was up 102 - 106. "Carmelo is draning em' from long distance." Andre remarked. "Kobe Bryant has not made a shot in over 12 minuets." the announcer said. "I'm aware of that Chris Collinsworth." said Cat with a rare touch of annoyance in her voice. "He's not even acknowledging the fact that I'm here." Tori thought. "Maybe if you said something to him he would respond." said Tori's conscience. "I must be going crazy. I'm having conversations with my conscience." Tori thought. "Yes you are." said her conscience.
"Really, A traffic jam." said Jerome. The traffic then started moving very quickly and he was home within 20 minuets. "I'm home." He said as he looked at an unfamiliar kid downstairs playing with Derrick. "DADDY!" Derrick exclaimed as he hugged Jerome. "My name is Robbie. I'm a friend of Andre's, he's upstairs." said Robbie. "Thanks." He replied. "ANDRE!" Jerome exclaimed seeing his son awake for the first time in months. Andre didn't even turn around or respond. His father wasn't there for Andre's sweet 16 or when he had his piano recital last week. Come to think of it, Tori has been there for him in the past year more than his father has in the past 4 years. "Hey ." Cat and Tori said in unison. Jerome felt dissapointed as he left the room. "THE LAKERS WIN IN AN MIRICALE COMEBACK!" Chris Collinsworth yelled. Andre noticed Tori looked very upset. He took her into the guest bedroom. "What's wrong Tori?" "What are you talking about Andre." "You know exactly what I'm talking about." Andre said sternly. "Look I have to go home I'm gonna miss dinner." Tori got up to leave the room. "NO!" Tori heard the fire in Andre's voice, he seemed very angry so she sat back down. "Now what's bothering you?" Andre said much more gently. "Nothing." Tori lied for the second time. She hated lying to Andre. Andre didn't believe Tori's lie for one second, but he didn't want Tori to miss dinner and get in trouble because him. "Okay but call me as soon as you finish eating." Andre said. "Okay see ya later." Tori said as she left the room. When Andre returned to his room Cat was crushing Robbie in a 45 - 28 lead. "So are you guys spending the night?" Andre asked. Cat thought about that question. "I'll check with my parents." Cat replied. "I'm staying." Robbie chimed in. Robbie has stayed at Andre's house multiple times but never with Cat. He had a huge crush on Cat, and he was almost sure she felt the same way.
Jerome and his wife Rebbeca were in their bedroom. Derrick was fast asleep. "Becky, he acted like I wasn't even there." "Well in the past couple of years you haven't been there for him." Rebbeca responded. "But I saw him a few months ago." "Romey you're not understanding. The last birthday of Andre's that you were there for was his 12th one. You weren't here for his first day of high school, or to teach him how to drive, or to have the talk with him." "What talk?" "The talk about girls." "Look if I take of work my assistants would ruin Swine Floo's career. They couldn't make instrumentals to save their lives." "Well look you have to make a desicion what's more important, Swine Floo's career, or your children. I'm going to bed." Rebbeca said as she turned out the light.
"You should've told him." said Tori's conscience. "Look if you're gonna keep talking to me then I'm gonna have to name you. Is Steve okay." Tori was starting to treat her conscience like a real person. She was feeling more like Robbie by the second. "Has it ever occured to you that I might be a girl." "Well are you?" "No." "Than Steve it is." Tori was confused about how Andre felt about her. "Only one way to find out. Ask him." Steve replied. "I just don't have enough courage." Tori whined in her head. "This coming from the girl who performed in the big showcase in front of the whole school." "Andre gave me the confidence to do that." "Man I wish I was Drake's conscience. He seems like a cool guy. And he would give me a better name than Steve." Tori began snoring. "I know this girl didn't just fall asleep in the middle of my rant. WAKE UP FOOL." "AAAAAAA!" Tori screamed. " Don't scare me like that." Tori said aloud. "Aren't you supposed to call Andre?" "It's too late." "You're just scared." "Good night Steve." "Whatever." She looked down she had a text from a anonymous number. "want 2 win andre's heart meet me at inside out burger at exactly 4:00 PM" Tori was scared but her conscience wouldn't let her sleep unless she responded. "ok" Tori unwillingly texted back.
