Chapter 4 Friday Night Fight
Friday Night
Karaoke Dokie
Tori and the rest of the gang are sitting at a small table in the corner of the room talking while they wait for Brent to show up.
"Well it looks like Brent isn't going to show after all." Jade says a smug grin on her face as she scans the room for signs of the young country boy
"Jade he's gonna show up he's probably stuck in traffic or something." Tori says defending her new friend from the young Goth's verbal attack
"Hey somebody mention my name." Brent says walking up to the small group wearing a black t-shirt leather jacket jeans and black cowboy boots his sister Kasey in tow behind him
"Hey Brent" Tori says turning and hugging her new friend followed by Cat who lingers slightly longer than Tori causing Robbie to glare over at the young red-head and her new friend
"So you actually decided to show up." Jade says sarcastically
"Oh trust me Jade I wouldn't have missed tonight for anything." Brent says smirking at the young Goth
"So who's the little girl?" Andre asks curiously trying to defuse the situation
"Oh guys this is my little sister Kasey." Brent says pointing to his little sister who is still standing beside him
"Kasey these are my new friends." He says pointing to everyone but jade causing the young goth to flip him off in a gesture of defiance
"So Brent which one is Tori?" Kasey asks curiously looking over the small group of friends
"I'm Tori" The young Latina pop star answers cheerfully
"Oh I can see why you like her she's pretty." Kasey says smiling at the young pop star causing Brent to rub the back of his head nervously while Tori just giggles nervously
"Hey Kasey can you do me a favor and go give this to the DJ." Brent says quickly scribbling something on a nearby napkin and handing it to the little girl
"OK" Kasey says taking the napkin and walk over towards the DJ booth
Kasey walks over and hands the DJ the napkin and points to her brother the DJ nods and flips on his mic.
"Alright looks like we got ourselves a new performer please welcome to the stage Dylan Calloway." He says as Dylan walks over and hops up on stag glad that a possibly awkward moment had been avoided
Dylan takes the mic off the small stand in front of him smiles over at his friends and then begins to speak.
"How y'all doing tonight?" He is meet with the sound of applause and clapping
"So I just moved here from Tennessee and I kinda miss it but I have to say I now realize that their ain't nothing like a California girl so this song goes out to all you California girls." He says winking over at Tori as the music begins to play
She's a warm summer breeze with long brunette hair
Like a fine red wine she can take you there
She's a walk in the sand at sunset
She's the top pulled down on the 405
She'll take you higher than Humboldt sky
She's an earthquake
And you're the fault line
So, when you feel the ground start movin' around
Hold on tight you're in for a ride
'Cause she's so California
She's a wild fire out of control headed for ya
So, when you get burned, don't say I didn't warn ya
'Cause she's so California
As Brent looks out into the audience he can see his sister and all his Hollywood Arts friends clapping along with the music Tori smiling back at him.
Finally the song ends and he is meet with thunderous applause from all around the room.
He thanks everyone and then hops down off stag and joins his friends sitting down between Kasey and Tori
"So Jade am I as good as I claim to be?" Brent asks causing the young Goth to scowl at him a cold irritated expression across her face
"Wow man that was pretty good." Andre says before biting into a Buffalo nugget
"Yeah you did awesome big brother." Kasey says smiling over at her older brother
"Thanks little sis but you know I ain't nothing without my lucky charm with me." Brent says brushing his hand through his little sister's hair
A few minutes later Jade Cat and Tori have finished up their performance and are walking of the stage when they are stopped by 2 guys in their mid-20's one with short buzz cut black hair the other with long blonde hair and lots of tattoos
Brent and Beck instinctively get up from the table and walk up to the girls Andre and Robbie falling in behind them.
"Hey girl I was just asking if you'd go out to dinner with me." The blonde hair guy says grabbing Tori by the arm causing Tori to pull away while Jade is busy having a heated conversation with the one with short black hair
"It would be in your best interest not to grab at her again." Brent says gently pulling Tori behind him before steeping up in the older guys face
"Oh what are you her boyfriend." The older blonde asks a mean sneer plastered across his face
"Well if I am then I guess that means you'd better just walk away." Brent says getting even closer coming almost nose to nose with the blonde
"Besides aren't you guys a little old to be flirting with 17 year old girls." Beck adds as he attempts to pull Jade back and out of her "discussion" with the blonde guys friend
"Hey why don't you guys go back to your table and mind your own business." The black-haired counterpart says the same mean scowl on his face
"When you start messing with our friends it becomes our business." Andre says steeping up beside Beck and Brent
"Fine let's go Mark these girls look like sluts anyway." The young black-haired guy says grabbing his friend's arm and leading him away
"Well I'm glad that's over." Cat says speaking up for the first time since the conflict started
"Not yet it isn't" Brent says walking past everyone and over to where the 2 guys have taken a seat in the corner of the room
"Hey" Brent shouts as he nears the table
"What do you want now kid?" Mark asks getting up from his seat and onto his feet before being floored by Brent with one big punch to the face
Mark's friend jumps up in an attempt to help his friend only to be kicked onto the floor beside his unfortunate friend
Before long an older man with short grey hair and glasses runs over and asks Brent to leave and take his friends with him
So Brent and his friends fill out the door and into the cool Los Angeles Fall air.
Moments Later
Karaoke Dokie Parking lot
"Wow and I thought that Jade was the only one with anger issues." Robbie says leaning up against his car
" Look Robbie I don't know how y'all handle things here in L.A but back in Tennessee we don't just let guys talk crap about girls or act the way those two idiots were acting in their." Brent says sitting on his the tailgate of his truck parked right beside all the other Hollywood Art's kid's cars
"Well we didn't need your help I was handling the situation just fine." Jade says staring daggers at Brent a look of contempt in her eyes
"Jade be nice Brent was just trying to help those guys were really big and you probably couldn't have taken them both by yourself." Tori says looking sternly at her friend from her spot beside Brent
"Yeah Jade he was just being nice trying to protect us." Cat says from her spot on Brent's other side sliding closer and wrapping her arm around his
"Hey doesn't anyone want to know what I think?" Kasey says leaning forward from her spot on the roof of Brent's truck
"Sure little sis just as long as you get off of the roof of the truck before you fall off and Melissa blames me." Brent says gently sliding his arm out of Cats while Robbie stands beside Andre glaring at them
"Ok" Kasey says hoping down from the roof and taking a seat on Brent's lap
"So I agree with Cat and Tori I think it was really good of you like one of those princes in a Disney movie." Kasey says as Tori and Brent try to cover their faces that are now extremely Red from blushing while Cat sits their smiling absent-mindedly
"So what do we do now that we've been kicked out?" Beck asks trying to shift the focus away from his 2 embarrassed friends
"Well we could go to the beach." Cat suggest cheerfully
"Cat its 8:00 at night and we don't even have any swimming clothes." Tori says looking at her red-headed friend likes she's nuts
"Oh come on guys it'll be fun." Cat pleads giving each of her friend's puppy dog eyes
"Hey Cat's right come on guys it might be fun." Robbie says backing his friend and secret crush up
"Ok I'm in" Brent says setting Kasey down on the pavement and then hoping down helping Cat and Tori down
"Me to" Tori says her smile glowing in the dim parking lot lights
"Andre Beck you guys in?" Tori says smiling at her other 2 guy friends
"Sure why not." Beck says Andre nods in agreement
"Jade you're last one what do ya say?" Brent asks nudging the young Goth with his words
"Fine it's gotta be better than just sitting in this parking lot all night." Jade says giving in to her cheerful friend
"Well let's go then." Cats says excitedly running over to Becks car and hopping in
"Well you heard Lil Red let's go." Andre says walking over to his car
"Hey Tori you riding with me?" Andre asks Tori who is still standing beside Brent and Kasey
"Nah I think I'm gonna ride with Brent." Tori says walking over to the passenger door of Brent's truck where Brent opens it and helps her in before hoisting Kasey in
So after everyone gets situated they start their cars and pull out of the parking lot a long parade of cars headed towards the beach
