After a long morning and almost strangling Trina when she tried to leave me at the house. I was finally at the school.
"You didn't have to throw that bagel at me." Trina whined from beside me.
Holding my hand out, Trina rolled her eyes and huffed. Taking the keys out of the ignition she dropped them in my open hand.
"And yes. I did. You would have left me otherwise."
Getting out of the car at the same time, we both slammed the doors shut. I clicked the lock button and pocketed the keys.
"Well you were taking too long."
"I was heating up your bagel." I yelled out.
I got a few odd looks from the students around us. I walked faster towards the school doors.
"Yea," Trina started. "and now I'm hungry since you threw the bagel at my face."
Opening the doors I stepped through the threshold of Hollywood Arts.
"You could have caught it with your mouth."
"Could not! You throw like a baseball player!"
I stomped over to my locker to try to get away from her. Unfortunately Trina decided to follow. I spun around to face her.
"You act like a five year old!"
Trina walked away yelling over her shoulder "Well sorry for wanting to get to school on time!"
Turning around I come face to face with Andre.
He looked at me with a small smile.
"Do I want to know?" He asked curiously.
I shook my head.
"Not really."
Andre moved out of the way so I could get to my locker. Putting in the combination I opened the door.
As I gathered my things I stopped and looked at Andre.
"So. How've you been?"
He hooked his thumbs around the book bag straps. "I've been pretty good."
"I meant about…" I trailed off hoping he'd get that I was talking about the Jade problem.
He opened his mouth and gave a small "ohhh."
"Umm…" He fidgeted around.
"It's been good. Another umm…dream."
I scrunched my face in disgust.
"But other than that it's fine. Nothing I can't handle." Giving me a reassuring smile he then looked at something behind me.
"Umm…I gotta go. I'll see you in class."
He quickly went off and around the corner behind him.
"That was weird." I mumbled to myself.
"Vega."
Spinning around I saw Jade behind me.
"Oh. Hi Jade."
"Did you do that math homework?"
Standing there for a moment I had to think about whether I actually did it or not.
'Did I?' I thought to myself. 'I can't remember. Maybe I did it in class but I'm not-'
I was ripped from my thoughts when Jade shouted "Vega!"
I looked back at her to see her staring at me expectantly.
"Oh. I don't remember."
Rolling her eyes she let out a groan.
"You're worthless to me."
Crossing my arms over my chest I let out a huff of annoyance.
"I'm sorry I'm not able to help you cheat on the homework that you could have easily done yourself."
Glaring at me she responded with "I was too busy making out with Beck. I didn't have time for the lousy homework." Smirking she walked past me making sure to rough bump my shoulder with hers. To make it worse she slammed my locker shut.
Groaning I turned back to my locker.
Messing with the locker I heard someone call out my name. Looking to my right I saw Beck walking towards me.
"Hey Beck."
"Hey Tori. Have you seen Andre?" He looked past my shoulder.
Nodding my head I pointed behind me with my thumb.
"Yea. He went that way. Why?" I began to worry.
'Does Beck know? He can't know can he? Andre didn't tell him. Did he?'
Beck looked down at me.
"He sent me a text saying he needed to talk to me and that it was important."
"Oh."
My heart started to beat against my chest heavily. 'Andre isn't going to tell him is he?'
"Well, yea. He went that way."
Giving me a quick thanks Beck quickly walked around the corner.
"That can't be good. But maybe Andre had something else to tell him…."
Shaking the thought away I decided to give up on my locker before I was late to class.
Heading to Sikowitz class I got in as soon as the bell rang. I looked to the left to see Beck talking privately to Andre in the corner. Beck said something to Andre to which he nodded his head solemnly.
Taking a seat in the front I continued to watch them until Sikowitz came in a moment later.
"Everyone take your seats!" He yelled out.
Beck walked past me to take his seat next to Jade and Andre took the empty seat next to me.
"Everything alright?" I whispered as Sikowitz had his back to us.
"Yea, everything's cool."
Andre continued to look forward as I gave him a skeptical look. Everything was not alright. I could tell from the tone of his voice. Something was wrong.
'Did he actually tell Beck?'
I wasn't able to think further on it when our teacher started talking.
The rest of the class went fairly well. Well, except when Sikowitz called up Cat and Robbie to perform an over dramatic version of the last fight they had. Turns out the last fight they had was about whether Cats socks matched her shirt or not.
They didn't.
After class ended we continued onto our next few classes like normally. When Andre and I shared a class together I would sneak glances at him. He still seemed bothered by something.
'I'll talk to him during lunch.'
By the time lunch came around I once again couldn't find him.
'What is up with him and vanishing?'
Walking out to the Asphalt Café I walked to our usual table to see Cat and Robbie already sitting there. I set my things down at our usual table. And greeted them.
"Hi Tori!" Cat yelled out enthusiastically.
Smiling I asked the red head "Have you seen Andre?"
Nodding her head she pointed back at the school.
"Him and Beck went in a little while ago."
"Said they had to talk." Robbie added.
Eyes growing wide I said thanks and ran back towards the school.
'I need to find Andre and stop him from saying anything.'
