Tori gets to school first the next day, she makes her way down to see Sikowizt. 'Might as well get this over and done with.' She thinks as she steps into the classroom. She finds Sikowizt laying on the stage with a coconut in hand.
"Oh gosh Sikowizt! Are you ok?" Tori rushes up to him.
Sikowizt turns to her slightly surprised "Why wouldn't I be?"
"You're laying on the floor?"
"Yes I am! I am indeed!" He replies rather airily.
Tori raises her eyebrows "Ah ok! Well, here!" She hands him sheet music.
Sikowizt sits up and takes the music. He reads it carefully.
"Hmmm, interesting." He says thoughtfully.
"Do you think she'll kill me?" She says anxiously.
He stares at her intently for a few seconds "Possibly! You never can tell with Jade! She is a fierce storm sometimes."
Tori looks like she may cry at the thought. Sikowizt seeing her distressed continues "Tori, I've know Jade for many years and as scary as she may seems, she still surprises me with her good natured soul."
Tori looked surprised.
"Ok maybe not with you per se! But she has a heart, believe me. And if all else fails, I'll have the police on stand by!"
Tori laughed "Thanks Sikowizt!"
"Don't worry Tori, I have a feeling this will all work itself out." He says "Now, get out!"
He motions her to leave then lays back down, sighing contentedly.
Tori turns and leaves, once in the hallway "God that man is weird!" She chuckles to herself.
She makes her way out into the main hall, where she goes and sit on the floor with her back against the janitors closet door. Holding her sheet music, she starts to read the words.
"Am I making the right decision? Or am I just making myself a death sentence?" She says too herself. Unknown to her, there was someone sitting on the other side of that door.
Jade sat in the janitors closest with her back against the door and her ear phones in, listening to her song of choice for what seemed like the hundredth time.
'This could possibly be the worst or best decision of my life.' She thinks bringing her knees up to her chest and resting her chin on top. Both girls sitting mere inches away from each other, not even realising how much they mean to other.
Later that day
"Alright children, you're all dismissed!" Sikowizt yells.
"But we still have 20 minutes left" Robbie says.
"Yeah, well, I don't care. Go wander the halls!" He says with a smile.
Everybody gets up and starts to leave "Not you Jade!"
Jade groans and sits back down. Once the room has emptied, Sikowizt sits in front of her.
"Well?" He starts.
"Well what?" She replies
He gives her a look, she groans again "Fine, here!" She pulls out her sheet music and hands it to him.
"Oh goody!" He grabs it and runs up onto the stage, she rolls her eyes.
He reads it with great interest, before looking up "Wow, this is very direct!"
Jade remains silent, opting to look out the window.
"All this time, why couldn't you have just told her?" He questions.
"It's not that simply Sikowizt, it's not like I have feelings for women all the time! And besides, this is your fault."
"Come again?" Looking confused.
"You sent the two of us out on a date, remember? This is how all of this started." She says looking rather cross.
"Oh, I'm sorry Jade. But sometimes I see things that others don't see"
"You should stop drinking those coconuts then!" She's with a smirk.
He replies by wacking her in the head with the sheet music.
"Sorry!" She giggles.
"But seriously Jade, are you sure this is what you want to say?" He asks her.
She ponders his question for a second, she sighs "If I don't get this out then I may explode. And as much as I'd love that, I don't feel like doing it just yet!"
"I've known you for a very long time Jade, and all I can say is I've never been more proud of you. You've come a long way from that mean little goth girl I met five years ago!" He beams down at her.
Jade smiles inspire of herself. Nobody had ever said that to her before.
"Thanks Sikowizt!"
"Ok, now out!" He yelled.
