Chapter 4: Karaoke Dokey, Friday Night
Trina's POV:
"Well I think we should toast our non-alcoholic beverages to the beginning of Winter Break," André exclaimed.
"Okay! A toast," Beck began, "to a wonderful break!"
"Cheers," we all shouted in unison as we banged our cups together and cheered.
Then, we all sat down and started slurping our drinks generous. Everyone seemed to be having a good time, except Jade. I'm not sure why she's here if she doesn't want to see girls flirting with Beck. Anyway, everyone knows that I'm perfect for Beck!
I'm perfect, I thought happily.
"So, what's Tori got an appointment for?" Beck asked as I was interrupted from my thinking.
"Oh, I have no idea," I said blowing off the question, "probably the doctor."
Beck raised his eyebrows and gave me a sad look, but looked back to the rest of our friends and started a new conversation. Everyone was talking about what we would do over break and then Jade started glaring at me.
She's probably just jealous of my beauty, I thought vainly.
"Why are you here?" she snarled.
"Because we're all friends. Duh," I replied casually.
"Nobody likes you!" she snapped back.
"Hey, everyone here likes me, besides you of course," I replied back and looked at all of my friends for defense, but nobody offered so I just let it go.
Stupid Tori's friends, I thought.
Karaoke Dokey, Friday Night
Jade's POV:
"It's kind of lonely without Tori," Cat whimpered.
"I second that," André interrupted.
"Me too," Beck joined in.
I gave him a death stare before I began to yell at Beck, "Why?"
Everyone turned to me before Beck gave me and confused look and asked me what I was talking about.
"You know what. Why do you and everyone else miss Tori so much?" I asked cruelly.
"Because she's a fun person," Beck told me.
"You're all lame. I hate it here. I'm leaving," I hissed as I stormed out of the building and went to my car.
Stupid jerks that'd rather defend Tori than me, even though they've known me longer, I thought to myself.
Tori's House, Friday Night
Tori's POV:
"Hey mom, can you make me some dinner?" I asked my mom.
"Sure, what do you want? Peanut butter?" she laughed.
"I'm not actually pregnant," I told her as I was a bit irritated.
"I know, but you gotta act like it baby," she said sadly.
I rolled my eyes and my mother kept talking, "So, just for you, I am sending Trina away on vacation for the break, so nothing gets sketchy."
I raised my eyebrow, "Where are you sending her?"
"I don't know. Your father brought the ticket," my mom replied nonchalantly, "but, for you, no video chatting, no writing on the Slap, just act like you've disappeared."
I opened my mouth, "Mom, I don't want to fully disappear from the world."
"Hon, that's what you signed up for. You have to commit to this," she told me as she went to get food out of our fridge.
I sighed, but made my way to laptop as I logged myself out of the Slap, video chatting, and all of my social networks.
Suddenly, a very bubbly Trina entered our house acting very happy.
"Hey sister!" she cheered as she gave me a hug.
"Hi Trina. You sound happy," I replied.
"Yeah, we had a great time tonight! Well, some of us did. Not Jade," she smirked. I felt kind of upset that everyone had fun without me, but I would have to get used to it because I don't know if I would ever hang out with them again after this stunt.
"That's cool," I responded sadly.
"Anyway, mom texted me saying she had something urgent to tell me," she continued.
"Yeah, she's in the kitchen."
"Okay sister" she said as she rushed into our kitchen.
Tori's House, Friday Night
Trina's POV:
"Hey momma!" I exclaimed.
"Hi Trina. So, I have a surprise for you," she told me happily.
"Is it for me?" I questioned her.
"Of course! You and you only," she told me as she put her hand on my shoulder for a quick moment.
"So what is it?" I asked her after a minute of staring at her.
"Oh! You're getting a free trip to the Bahamas!" she exclaimed.
"Really? Thank you so much mom! AH! When am I going?" I squealed.
"Tomorrow morning! So, go pack," she yelled. I gasped and immediately ran upstairs to pack everything I needed for my trip.
Suddenly the doorbell rang as I was going upstairs, "Trina, get it please."
I rolled my eyes, but I still opened the door anyway. A girl about twenty-five was standing there in a UPS uniform with a big brown box.
"Hi," she gave me a warm smile, "I have a package for Miss Victoria Vega."
"What is it?" I asked. I didn't like it when Tori got a package and I didn't.
The girl observed the label on the tag and replied, "It's from a Mr. Squires and it seems to be a makeup kit."
"What? Mom!" I exclaimed.
"Trina, go pack!" she yelled as she ran over to the door. Then she signed off the mysterious box, picked it up, waved the UPS girl goodbye.
Tori looked concerned for some reason, but it wasn't fair that she got a makeup kit and I didn't. So, I asked my mom about it, "Mom, how come I get a makeup box and I don't?"
Mom had an odd look on her face, before she responded, "Well, you're going to the Bahamas and she isn't, so I decided to buy it for her because she really wanted it."
"I guess that's fair," I answered her obnoxiously.
"Thank you for understanding," she told me as giving me a quick hug.
"Yeah, whatever," I said pouting.
"Now, go pack! You have a flight at seven in the morning," she yelled at me.
This is going to be the best break ever, I thought to myself as I quickly ran up the stairs to go put all my clothes and stuff in a suitcase.
Tori's House, Friday Night
Tori's POV:
I gave my mother a look and then said, "Good save."
She pretended to wipe her forehead and then responded, "Well, we can't have Trina knowing about your challenge before it happens."
"Can I open it?" I asked hesitantly.
"Of course. This is your challenge," my mom shrugged.
I looked at the box, "I'm going to open it in my room incase Trina comes back downstairs or something.
She waved goodbye as I took the box up to my room. I entered my room cautiously to make sure that no one else, besides me, was inside my room. Carefully, I took a scissor from my desk and started to cut the tape off of the box.
I opened it excitedly to see what they included for my "transformation". I pulled out tons of bubble wrap before I got to the actual product. There was a set of make up with lots of dark colors to put under my eyes to look tired. There was also makeup to make my face appear thinner by contouring it. Finally, there was what looked like a compressed pillow. It wrapped around my back and had clips in the back to keep it from falling off. On the front was a pillow with a few different buttons.
At first, I wasn't sure how to work it. Then I realized that each button had a number on it. My eyes traced the numbers and I realized that they were stages of pregnancy: 1 month, 2 months, and all the way up to 9 months. Inside the bottom of the note was an envelope that said Tori Vega on the front of it.
I quickly picked it up and opened the envelope quickly. It said:
Dear Tori,
Hope that you know how to work this. If you don't, please call me. Please start with the four month setting when you go back to school. I will call you when I want you to progress to the next level.
Sincerely,
Dale Squires
I kept the pregnancy thing around my stomach and pressed nine months. Quickly, I began to blow up like a balloon. I pulled my shirt down as far as it would go over the pillow like contraction.
I'm going to need new clothes, I scowled to myself. I observed my appearance in the mirror and just kept attempting to keep positive thoughts.
Keep it together Tori, I thought modestly.
