"Good morning Tor, wakey wakey sleepy head :D

Hope you have a nice day don't forget out skype session tonight too many things to talk about. I miss you lots, say hi to everyone for me gotta go school is about to start, see you tonight!

Love Dre."

Tori looked once again at the e-mail she received that morning. It had been just hours and they kept on texting every minute of the day but for the Latina it wasn't enough.

"Hiiiiii, Tori" Cat bounced happily next to the brunette.

"Hey Cat how goes it?"

The red-haired girl giggled and shoved a little bag to Tori's face. "Bibble?" She asked.

Tori shook her head no, "Uh no thanks Cat. Where are Robbie, Beck and Jade?"

Cat stuffed her mouth with sweets "Fobi faid fey foul fake a fhile"

Tori chuckled "Okay let's go find somewhere to sit before they get here." The gang planned to have lunch together as every Friday.

The girls looked around for a place to sit; they were at the mall "Is something wrong Tori? You look sad."

The Latina shook her head, "I'm okay Cat don't worry. It's nothing" She tried to brush it off fortunately for her the rest of the gang showed up.

"Hey sweetie," Robbie greeted his girlfriend with a kiss on the cheek, and Tori with a brief hug. "Sup Toro?"

"Robbie, please stop calling me that" Tori rolled her eyes.

"Yes, please stop that you sound dorkier than usual Shapiro." Jade snapped and pushed Tori aside.

"Ouch" The Latina exclaimed to what Jade turned and smirked winking at her.

"So guys, how you been? Sometimes it feels like we don't hang out as much as we did." Beck asked before taking some fries.

"I was chosen to help with the wardrobe of the school's play, and will get to keep some of their outfits" Cat explained.

Robbie explained how he keept arguing with his dad about his career choice, Beck had landed another commercial role about a famous brand of clothes, and Jade sent the script to a writer Beck met from his last short role. "How about you Ms. Vega? Are you even paying attention to us?" The Goth snapped at Tori who up until then had been very busy staring at her phone.

"I, uh yeah good luck with your script" The Latina smiled, and then her phone started ringing. "Hey guys, I gotta take this. I'll be right back" without waiting for an answer she got up and left the table. "Did anyone else find that odd?" Robbie asked.

Beck and Cat looked at each other trying to understand Robbie's question, Jade smirked "Well little Ms. Vega had been really busy these past weeks with Joshua Thomas," She said casually, Beck looked surprised "The Joshua Thomas QB of the football team?" Jade struggled, "I saw Thomas walking out of Vega's house a couple of nights ago when I was on my way to Nozu" She looked to where Tori was talking animatedly on her phone.

"Is Tori dating that guy? I thought she liked Andre!" Robbie asked.

Everyone in the table got quiet at the mention of the young musician. Beck sighed, "Has she said anything to any of you about dating someone?" he asked, meeting a couple of no's, "Then I guess we have to wait until she tells someone. Then we'll break the news to Andre If she hasn't" Tori returned with a smile on her face.

"Sorry about that, so what were we talking about?" She asked putting her phone way, "Oh nothing, just you know wondering if you're dating anyone since little Ms. Vega had been do busy lately" Jade said with the fake southern accent she used to annoy Tori with.

"Hey I don't talk like that!" The Latina defended herself.

"So you are dating someone?" Jade inquired,

"I never said I was, and why are you all of the sudden so interested in my social life?" The brunette asked.

"Ahh, so you do have a social life! Who are you dating Vega?" The Goth smiled triumphantly.

"Jade come on stop it, I'm sure if Tori is dating someone, she'd tell us-" Beck started but was abruptly interrupted by Tori slamming her hand on the table.

"I don't know what's gotten into you guys, I am not dating anyone right now but if I was, its my life not yours so stop butting in!" She turned and left.

"Well that was unexpected" Robbie said after a minute of silence.

"Tori doesn't like Andre anymore?" Cat asked innocently.

Beck sighed and pulled out his phone dialing his best friend's number, "I guess not."

Line Break

It was a Sunday morning Tori was lying in bed, staring at the ceiling just like she did last Friday when she snapped at her friends. Her homework finished, clothes already picked for next Monday, yeah she was dying of boredom. Holding on her phone with the hope of a call, maybe Cat needed help to model one of the outfits she had worked so hard on, or maybe Robbie wanted to teach her how to play one of the newest games online he found. Perhaps Beck needed help with one of his commercial lines, or Jade... No, Jade would never call her.

She already tried calling and texting Andre but her best friend replied a "Sorry sunshine, I'm buried in homework call you later" her parents were out on a dinner date and Trina was doing whatever Trina's do in their free time, since Andre left she felt as if some part of herself was gone too.

During their last year at HA, Tori and the young musician became closer (more if so possible), Tori would go to Andre's after school to help him take care of his grandma, or to write songs together (even when Tori was awful at it), or they would simply go out to the movies or for dinner, she never thought different until one afternoon.

School was over; Tori and Andre had been ditched by their friends, and they were lonely and hungry so Andre offered to cook for the Latina. "Are you sure you know how to cook? I mean I've seen you eat but never cook" The brunette asked her friend, she was sitting at the table right next to the kitchen were the young musician was dancing and cooking.

"Yes, I do. These hands can do more things besides music" he winked making Tori blush.

After a couple of minutes, Andre asked Tori to help with dinner. "Why do I have to make the salad? I can do more you know?" The brunette whined while chopping tomatoes.

"You wanted to help didn't you?" Andre chuckled at the pout on Tori's face. For the next twenty minutes they worked in silence, the only sound was Andre's humming. Tori would occasionally look back to Andre with a smile, he looked so content and that made her happy.

"Ow!" The Latina yelled and threw the knife to the floor; Andre was next to her in a second.

"What happened? Are you okay?" He asked. Tori held her bleeding finger away from the table and made her way to the sink "Oh my chizz that's too much blood!" Andre yelled and tried to get a hold of Tori's hand but the Latina keep on moving it away from his reach. "Okay Tor, don't move. I need to see your finger."

A couple of minutes passed by with Tori crying and jumping around until Andre got tired and lifted her to his shoulder "Okay we need to clean that wound up, let's go chica the first aid kit must be upstairs." Tori squirmed but couldn't escape from her friend's gasp. "Okay Tor, we are here" Andre opened the bathroom door with his foot and put Tori down. "Sit, I'll find the kit and bandage you up." The brunette did as she was told and sat on the toilet her finger wasn't bleeding anymore but it was still hurting. "Now I have to clean you up, this might hurt a little bit." Tori nodded and bit her lip. Andre worked delicately on the Latina's finger.

"Okay now just try not to chop your finger off" he chuckled looking up to Tori's eyes.

The Latina felt her cheeks turning red, 'Did Andre's eyes always have that beautiful color?' The brunette thought,

"Feel better Tor?" Andre asked leaning closer to the Latina.

"Uh huh" her eyes flutter closed, just a couple of centimeter...

"Toooooorii...!" Trina called making Tori stand pushing Andre down.

"Oh my god I am so sorry Andre" She helped the young musician stand up.

"Uh yeah no problem Tor," the bathroom door's opened wide open and Trina stepped in.

"I'm going with Antonio to a party don't expect me to come home early toodles." The older Vega sister looked at the teenagers getting up the floor and raised an eyebrow in Andre's direction. "Am I interrupting something?" both, Tori and Andre got up really quick blushing madly.

"What are you talking about Treen? We're not doing anything." Tori answered defensively.

"Yeah, Tori cut her finger and I was just putting a bandage on it" Andre added.

The older Vega sister shrugged and took off, "Whatever," she said before disappearing completely.

"I think food's ready!" Tori exclaimed and pushed Andre out and to the kitchen.

After that almost kiss, Tori started feeling different around her best friend. She would always blush when Andre looked at her, or whenever Andre sang a song he would direct a look to the Latina making Tori feel her insides melt. The brunette sighed and locked her phone before putting it away on her bedside table.

"I wish I knew what these feelings are" Were her last words before sleep took her away.

So what you guys think? I know, I know too short ._. sorry about that on a happy note I'm currently working on chapter 5 and it is a continuation of chapter 3, you know after Jade and Andre talked in the park... :D
