To say I'm bored is an understatement. I'm just; I give up on life lol Idk what to do with anything anymore. I'm depressed to an extent. (No I'm not emo and chiz.) But I feel like my life is over lol. Anyway, instead of being a Debby downer, I give you the fourth chapter of Made in Japan. :)
Jade couldn't believe what she was seeing; Tori imitating her, and being surprisingly good at it. "Is that Tori?" Beck gawked. Jade rolled her eyes. Leave it to her ex boyfriend to clearly state the obvious.
Tori sat down next to Cat, and flashed that demonic smile at Jade. Keeping her facial emotions platonic, Jade studies Tori while keeping eye contact with the girl.
Her hair was curlier that it usually was, and had a certain bounce to it, and her gaze was just as sensual as Jade's. It was scaring her, how much Tori could pull off being her without even trying. What's even worse is that she didn't know or remember what caused her change in behavior.
Thinking back to the day before, Jade pictured Tori the way she remembered her. Always smiling, always happy, and being her preppy little self. This didn't make any sense. Unless, unless she did something that somehow triggered the hypnosis.
She thought internally for a while, before it finally clicked. The trigger word! The trigger word was 'go change' and she had said it unintentionally to Tori! Now she was left with a very convincing clone of herself.
"Hey, Jade." Tori's was icy and smooth, and it made Jade shiver. She cursed herself for it. Why would Tori ever make her shiver? This was getting out of hand. "Vega." She nodded towards her, taking a sip of her now cold coffee. The copycat smile got dangerously wider, and Tori leaned back in the chair looking pleased. Way too pleased. Jade knew this was a situation that needed to be handed carefully with care. She didn't know the words to break her out the spell, and thanks to a cold, Sinjin wasn't on the trip. She was doing this by herself, and it was killing her. She was beginning to think none of this was worth messing with the younger Vega.
Before she could say anything else to her, Yumi showed up and whisked everyone away so that they could get to Wagashima Towers before eight. Great now she had the task of watching this new Tori and doing whatever she would be assigned to do. She was not looking forward to the rest of the day.
Jade didn't have a chance to talk to Tori all morning, thanks to the commercials they had to film and the songs they had to perform. But by lunch time, she had finally caught up to her. "Vega." She called. Tori turned around and raised a brow. "What?" Jade stopped in her tracks. She hadn't thought of what to say if she had gotten this far. She didn't believe she would. "Ah, um," She sputtered. She didn't like this feeling she was getting. "Spit it out, West!" Tori snapped. Jade growled. Why was this so difficult?
"Why are you acting like me?" She finally asked, even though she already knew the answer. She just wanted to hear it straight from the girl's mouth. Not like she would get a straight answer though. Tori crossed her arms. "Wouldn't you like to know?" It scared Jade how much Tori was acting like her. No, scratch that- becoming her. Tori stepped closer to her, closing the space between them. For a minute, Jade almost thinks the Latina is going to kiss her. With their lips just centimeters apart, it was quite possible too.
But Tori pulled away and laughed, poking Jade in the chest. "Guess you will never find out, huh?" she giggled, then strode off to join in a conversation Beck and Andre were animatedly having. That was probably about her in the first place. She hadn't seen Cat or Robbie since this morning, and thought they were probably off doing God knows what.
"Jade!" Cat called, materializing out of nowhere as if her thoughts beckoned her to come. She turned to look down at the bouncy redhead and smiled. At least she had one ball of sunshine in her life at the moment. Not that she enjoyed Tori's company. Ok, maybe she did. But not enough that it replaced Cat. "Hey, baby girl. Where's Robbie?" Not that she cared, she just wanted to keep herself busy with the buzzing little songstress, or else she would tail Tori all day and they others would think something was up. Something was up, but that didn't mean she wanted them to know.
"Oh, he's with Yumi. We were helping her with some techy stuff. That's why you didn't see us earlier." Well that explained it. She didn't know why she thought they were doing something else. Cat was too naïve and childish and Robbie was well, Robbie. Cat smiled knowingly at her. "What?"
"You like Tori." She giggled. Jade's eyes popped open. She didn't ask! She stated it as if she already knew! "No, no, Kitty Cat I don't think-"
"It's ok, Jadey. Your secret's safe with me." Cat giggled then skipped off to continue to work with Robbie. Jade didn't know what to think. Was Cat right? Did she like Tori? Better yet, was she falling for her? Maybe; her heart was still beating out of her chest from their earlier encounter. So yeah, maybe she was falling for Tori. The new one, and possibly the old one. She shook her head. That, among other things will be decided later. Right now she had a commercial to finish.
Back at the hotel, Jade was trying to find a way to reach Sinjin. She didn't have his cell phone number for a non ending list of reasons, and he wasn't online when she logged into TheSlap. So she decided to ask the person she least wanted to ask for help- Robbie.
"Shapiro! Open this door!" She called, banging on the door. It flung open, and she found herself getting pulled into the room by the awkward yet surprisingly strong young boy. "Shush!" he reprimanded her. Jade raised a brow. "And you're risking your life to shush me because…?" He slammed the door closed and leaned against it, checking the peephole to make sure no one was on the other side of the door.
"I'm hiding from Cat!" he said rather quickly, and then made sure he absolutely locked the door. Andre and Beck were down stairs grabbing a bite to eat, and he had been up her by himself the whole time, claiming he wasn't feeling well; when he really was just trying to avoid a certain redhead. "Why are you hiding from Cat?" Jade asked, the question was as just as preposterous as the answer she was going to get. Cat wasn't someone that anyone should be afraid of, let alone Robbie. "She wants to play pirates!" he said exasperatedly. Of course she was right. She raised two neatly manicured black painted finger nails to her temple and said, "Okay, why are you afraid to play pirates with Cat?"
He looked at her like she had five heads. "Because! I think, I think-"
"Spit it out, Shapiro!"
"I think she likes me!"
Jade didn't know if she should smack the puppeteer senseless or laugh. Either way was he serious? "I thought you liked Cat. You're the one who was singing to her about how you thought she was swell and other chiz. So why so shy now?" She asked, choosing not to hit her for lack of a better word, friend.
"Because! She looks at me in this weird way sometimes… it's like she wants to eat me alive or something! I'm scared!" Robbie whined, throwing himself on to his bed and squeezing a pillow over his face. Jade tentatively sat next to him, still trying not to laugh. Cat looking at anyone like that is something she could never take seriously.
"Look, Robbie, you said it yourself. Any guy would be lucky as cheese to have Cat. And lucky for you, you're that guy." She poked his rib. "What I'm trying to say is, just because you're a little nervous doesn't mean that you should shut out Cat. You know how sensitive she is. It'll make her feel like you don't like her anymore and she will move on to someone else. Then you'll never know what could have been."
Robbie sat up. "Wow, Jade. That was deep." He smiled. She punched his arm hard. "Yeah, tell anyone and ill burn Rex alive." He quickly nodded.
Jade smiled and remembered what she came here for before their sickeningly sweet moment. "Now that that's over, there is something I need you to help me with..."
