Hey guys! I really enjoy writing this, and I hope you enjoy reading it. I can't be the only one missing Victorious.
Tori opened her front door to see Trina watching a scary movie. Resisting the urge to scare Trina, she headed upstairs into her bedroom. Brainstorming with Cat wasn't that bad. Then again, Tori sat there half the time watching Cat. Out of the corner of her eye, of course. Cat looked cute when she was thinking. Okay, where did that come from? "These thoughts are driving me crazy!" Tori groaned, burying her face in her pillow. She had to talk to someone.
This is a bad idea. Of all people, I chose her. Jade looked at Tori with a raised eyebrow. "You're coming to me for help? You must be desperate, Vega." Tori groaned. "Not help! Just to talk." Jade rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Now say whatever it is you want to say." Tori mentally prepared herself. "What does it feel like when you're with Beck? Alone?" Jade blinked. "What? You want to know about Beck and I?" Tori groaned again. Yep, bad idea. "Not exactly. I just….ugh…do you ever get these weird feelings? Like butterflies in your stomach and random thoughts you wouldn't normally think?"
Jade stared at Tori then started laughing. "Oh my God…..Vega's in love!" Tori face-palmed. "Jade! I'm not in love!" Jade shook her head. "I can't believe I'm having this conversation." Neither can I, Tori thought. "Tori, those feelings mean you really, really like someone. If they stay after a certain period of time, you're in love. Now excuse me, I have to find Beck."
Tori leaned against her locker and thought about what Jade had said. Was she falling for Cat? "Jade said if the feelings stay, it means you're in love." Tori figured she'd give it a week. Feelings or not, she still had to kiss Cat. Why can't anything about this be easy?
Cat pulled the picture of her and Tori out of her back pack and studied it for a moment. She remembered the moment when she realized she liked Tori more than a best friend. It was when Tori and her had their first fight. Cat hadn't understood why Tori was kissing Danny. But as Tori had explained herself and hugged her, Cat realized Tori made her feel something in a way Danny didn't.
Cat sighed, putting the picture back inside her bag. Truth be told, Sikowitz's assignment was making her just as nervous as Tori. At least she had an excuse to kiss Tori. The only problem was her feelings being exposed. Cat didn't want to lose Tori. "Oh Tori, if only you knew what you did to me..."
Cat and Tori decided to go to Tori's house to work on the assignment. Tori's parents were on a business trip and Trina was at some audition, so they were alone. "Cat, I—I had an idea for the scene." Great, Tori. You're stuttering. Smooth move. "Alright, let's hear it." Cat said, excitement starting to build up inside her. Tori gave a small smile. "What do you think of one character liking the other but is too afraid to act on their feelings, so they decide let the other one know through a song?"
Cat tilted her head in thought. Tori tried to ignore the tingles at the cuteness—And there I go again…Cat finally nodded. "I like that idea." Tori mentally sighed in relief. Little did she know just how real that would become.
Cat's phone buzzed and she pulled it out. When she read the message, she frowned. "Phooey." Tori frowned. "What's wrong Cat?" Cat sighed, putting her phone back in her pocket. "My parents are taking my brother back to the mental hospital for a check-up for the weekend, which means I'm home alone."
Cat's eyes looked sad, which Tori only saw a few times. "You hate being home alone." Cat nodded. "You can stay here over the weekend." Tori, who knows what's going to happen?! What are you getting yourself into? Cat's eyes lit up. "You mean it? You'll let me stay here?" Tori nodded, smiling. "Sure, it'll be fun! Besides, I'm home alone too. Apparently Trina got a ticket and has to spend the weekend in South LA." Cat squealed happily and tackle-hugged Tori.
"Yay! This is so awesome! A whole weekend with my best friend!" Tori laughed and sat up, still hugging Cat. "Something tells me you're excited." Cat giggled. Tori chuckled. "We still have to work on our assignment, it's due Monday." Maybe it was her imagination, but Tori thought she saw Cat tense for a moment. But then it was gone. "Kay kay!" Suddenly Cat frowned. "All my stuff is at my house."
Tori waved her hand dismissively. "We can go get it now." "We'd have to walk." Cat pointed out. Tori shrugged. "You don't live that far away." Cat jumped up. "Then let's go!" Tori shook her head fondly. No wonder I've fallen for her.
After Cat got her stuff and they went back, Tori found herself explaining the difference between cupcakes and cake. "Cat, cupcakes are just smaller cakes. It's a tinier version." Cat still looked confused. "But cakes aren't made in cups! So why are they called cupcakes if they're tiny cakes?" Tori blinked, mind going blank.
"…That's a good question. I guess the person who invented cupcakes thought it was cute." Cat shrugged. "Kay kay. So what should we do?" Tori sighed. "We kinda need to work on our scene." I'm not crazy, Cat just tensed again. "Cat are you okay? You just…froze." Cat nodded quickly. "Yeah, I thought I heard a bird so I was trying to listen for it." That was a really bad excuse. If I'm not careful, Tori will get suspicious. Tori blinked, and then shrugged. Cat mentally sighed in relief.
Tori knew something was going on with Cat, but decided to ask about it later. "So, what should call our characters?" Cat thought for a moment. "How about I'm Kasey and you're Jamie?" Tori nodded. "Okay, I like that. Should Jamie sing the song?" Cat nodded. "Kasey could be the one that thinks that her feelings are one-sided until Jamie sings the song." Kinda like me, Cat thought.
Tori smiled. "That's a good idea." The two spent the rest of the evening writing their scene, Tori deciding to work on the song later, preferably when Cat was asleep. It had only been half a week, but Tori figured the feelings wouldn't go away. I'm in love with Cat. I could use Jamie's song to tell her.
Plus, with Cat being more…emotional lately, she's definitely hiding something. Suddenly, an idea struck Tori. What if Kasey is Cat's outlet for what she's hiding?
So, what did you think? Leave a review? :)
