Chapter 4
Tori's POV
I ran and ran and ran, and not to the now-predictable spot I usually retreat to when I am upset. Oh no, I ran down alleys and up hills. I was actually in really good shape. I finally stopped when I realized that I was completely lost. I sat on the ground and I refused to cry. Oh no, I was not going to cry. I was going to tough it out. i was alone, and I didn't need to act. I tried to call my mom but when beck took my phone he presssed my flashlight app and then my battery was drained.
I was sitting on the sidewalk leaning against a run down building when I decided to try and figure out why that girl Jade hated me so much. I mean, I spilled coffee on her boyfriend but it was not scalding hot, it was iced, and he wasn't even mad at me. I started to drift off to sleep, since this place obviously wasn't very public. I was tired after everyting that happened today, and the intense burning in my legs didn't help, either. I was in shape but not for a marathon!
I was deep into thought and relaxed, almost asleep, when a black Camaro showed up in front of me. I couldn't remember the car from anywhere, so I felt a little bit frightened. I decided to bury my face in my knees, so I could be alone for a moment more before I had to do any interacting of any sort.
I heard a farmiliar voice and smelled coffee, and not the coffee that was on top of my head. I decided to pretend to be sleeping, even though that would make me seem really stupid. I didn't care, though.
"Tori! I have been looking for you, are you okay?" I couldn't pretend to sleep, because I was already starting to get those hiccup type things you get after you cry. I just looked up at him, and I saw that look of sympathy in his eyes. I quickly looked away, whic was not a good idea because I looked so that my slapped cheek was facing up, and that look got worse.
"Oh, Tori, I am so sorry about Jade, she was being unreasonable and-"
"If this is unreasonable I would LOVE to see how she gets when she is angry."I said in my most bitter voice. I did not want his pity or apology. From him, it didn't mean anything. He didn't do anything wrong. But then again, neither did I.
I looked at him again and saw a cute grin on his face. At least someone was getting a kick out of this. He asked "Have you called anyone to come and get you?"
"No, because you took my phone and pressed buttons that drained my battery, and if I called for someone to get me don't you think they would have gotten here by now?" I replied, hoping for him to just go away already.
"Right, stupid question. Well, can I at least take you home? It is the least I could do after..."
"Yes, please."
"Okay, here, let me help you up." I really wish he hadn't, but my legs were feeling kinda wobbly from all of the running. He took me to his car and we drove in silence for approximately two minutes before the question was killing me and I had to ask.
"Why did Jade pour coffee on my head and slap me? I mean, What did I do to her to deserve this? We haven't really even seen eachother before." He pondered the question with a puzzled look on his face, clearly he was a bit confused also, and then answered with:
"Honestly, I don't know, Tori. I know that Jade has a jealous streak, but..."
"But all I did with you was accidentally spill coffee on you ..Oh, Beck, I am really sorry for that. I tried to get it out, but I couldn't. I wasn't watching where I was going, I was looking at my schedule and-"
"Chill out, it's okay, I have other shirts."
We were driving down a street that was beginning to feel farmiliar to me, and I told him to take a right at the next stopsign.
"Now let me ask you a question, why do you think that you shouldn;t go to this school? And why haven't you gone to school here before?"
" That's two questions."
"Well look who is being a smert alec now." he responded and we laughed. I decided to answer his questions, because it is not like we could be friends or anything with him dating the girl that hates me the most.
"Okay, I didn't go to school here before because I have terrible stage fright, will I guess not anymore, but it's still there, and I wish that I hadn't had to do the song in the Big Showcase because then this," I gestured all around me and then to him with my hand, " would have never happened.
"Oh, I get it, you think you are not good enough to go to school here because you never knew you had talent to begin with."
"Uh, I guess. Oh make a right here and I'll tell you when to stop."
"Ok." Soon we were at my house and I was about to get out of his car when he asked me "So I will see you tomorrow?" Was he crazy? I WAS NOT GOING TO SCHOOL THERE! I gave him a strange look that obviously brought amusement because he laughed.
"Oh come on, you are coming to school tomorrow, right?" He had a concerned look on his face.
I responded to his look with "I don't think so, I mean, I don't want to be on Jade's hit list any longer."I had turned around and when I looked back he was out of his car and walking with me to my door. How nice.
"You are coming to school tomorrow, whether you like it or not."
"Why?"
"Because you are not gonna let her win that easily. You will think of something. Do you want a ride tomorrow to school?" He asked while I unlocked my door.
I thought about it, because anything would be better than riding with Trina, but I declined and decided to go to school and show Jade she can't mess with me.
After he left I went and took a shower.
While washing my hair I suddenly had a bright idea.
I knew how to show Jade up.
Next day
Tori Vega: Feeling Shaky, but confident:)
Feeling: Confident
I strode into the school, nervous of what was about to do down. When I wanted, I could have a devious mind, but I rarely use it, and it is not as bad as Jade's.
When I walked to my locker, I immediately spotted Andre and Cat waiting near my locker.
"Tori! I didn't think you would come back!" Cat screamed while giving me a giant hug. I returned the hug and I heard Andre speak.
"Hey, girl, waht did you do to get on Jade's bad side so quickly?"
"I honestly don't know, but she really hates me now, doesn't she?" I asked.
"Yeah, she does. Hey, we gotta get to class early, so I'll see you later." Andre said.
"Ya bye Tori!"Cat said and again gave me a hug.
"See ya," and then they left.
When I walked into class, I immediately searched for Andre and Cat, but first I spotted Beck sitting next to Jade. Then I found Andre and Cat. One one hand, there was an open seat between the two, and I was sure it was saved for me. On the other hand, Jade and Beck were sitting right in front of them. I found my seat between my two friends, being extra careful to not disturb anyone else to bring attention to me being here. I didn't feel up to Jade lashing out on my again. Unfortuantely, Beck turned around and saw me sitting there, and then he looked away and smiled. I started a conversation with Andre.
"So, do we know what we are doing today?" I asked Andre.
Beck overheard and answered my question for him, "We are doing alphabet Improv. It is the same thing as what we did yesterday, but each person's like has to start alphabetically."
"Oh, I get it, the first word would begin with A, then B, and so on?"
Cat answered, "Yeah."
Jade remarked with, "No one likes you."
Beck shot back with "I do." He winked and turned around as Sikowitz tumbled in through the window.
"Hello, everyone, today we will- Tori, you're back."
I replied with, "Yes, I am."
"Have you ever tried coming in through the window?"
"Uh, no."
"Think about it. And you will lead the first acting exercise. Pick your cast and get going."
" Uh, everyone that was up here yesterday come back up." everyone came up except for Jade. I accidentally bumped into Beck, but thank goodness that there was no coffee though. Then, Jade decided to come up and make out with Beck. I rolled my eyes, it was getting old even though I was only here for two interrupted their make out session with:
"Jade, kiss your boyfriend on your own time."
Jade: "Oh, I will."
Sikowitz: "Tori, start with the letter P."
Tori: Please go take a shower.
Jade: Quit telling me what to do.
Beck: Relax, girls. Let's all try to get along.
Cat: Totally!
Sikowitz: [makes a buzzing noise] Cat, your line had to start with the letter S.
Cat: Oh, my life's the worse!
Sikowitz: Here's a piece of candy.
Cat: Yay! I love candy! [gets off stage, takes the candy and sits next to Robby]
Sikowitz: All right. André, letter "S" to you.
André: Uh, something just bit my toe!
Tori: Turtle! That turtle just bit his toe!
Jade: Unbelievable that you're even here.
Beck: Very immature of you to say that.
André: Uh-
Sikowitz: Come on, André! W!
André: What if the turtle bit my toe bone?
Tori: X-rays are the only way to find out.
Jade: You should shut up.
Beck: Zap! I just healed your toe with my magic finger.
André: Thanks.
Sikowitz: [makes a buzzing noise] André, your line had to start with a letter A. Get out!
André: [gets off stage] Aw, I just got my toe bone fixed. [sits down]
Sikowitz: Tori, letter "A" to you.
Tori: Aliens are the ones that can heal toes by finger zapping.
Jade: By the way, [blows a raspberry at Tori].
Tori: [rolls her eyes]
Beck: Correct, I am an alien.
Tori: [gasps]
Sikowitz: Ooh, a twist!
Tori: Don't hurt me! Please?
Jade: Even though she's extremely annoying!
Beck: Fainting...'cause I can't breathe...your Earth's air. [falls dramatically on the ground]
Tori: Gosh, it fainted!
Sikowitz: Excellent! Tori and Jade, keep going! The next letter's H!
Jade: Hey why don't you jump over that cliff over there?
Tori: I think you should.
Jade: Just where did you come from?
Tori: Kangaroos.
Jade: Lousy animals, kangaroos. They're awkward and dirty.
Tori: Maybe they've learned from you.
Everyone gasps, but I am just getting started.
Jade: [shocked] No one talks to me like that.
Tori: Obviously someone should.
Jade: Please run in front of a bus!
Tori: Quite obnoxious of you to say.
Jade: Really?
Tori: Sure was.
Jade: Thanks!
Tori: Up your nose I see boogers.
Jade: Very clever.
Tori: Wish you thought of that?
Jade: X marks the spot I'd like to punch! [points her finger at Tori]
Tori: Your finger smells weird!
Jade: Zero is what you are on a scale from one to ten.
Sikowitz: And back to the letter A!
Tori: As if I care what you think!
Jade: Better watch yourself.
Tori: Can't take it?
Jade: Don't push me!
Tori: Eat your pants!
Jade: No you eat your pants! [realizes what she said] Wait!
Sikowitz: [makes a buzzing noise] Sorry Jade! The next letter was-
Jade: F! I KNOW! [turns angrily at Tori then walks off and sits down]
Beck: [beginning to wake up]
André: Hey, the alien's moving!
Sikowitz: Keep this thing going!
Tori: Get up alien! [helps Beck up]
Beck: Head feels dizzy.
Tori: I know what will make you feel better.
Jade: [raises her eyebrows]
Beck: Jumping jacks?
Tori: Kiss me.
Jade: [sits up]
Beck: Let's do it!
We kissed and I knew that Jade would think twice before messing with me again. At least I hope. Class ended and we left class.
Tori Vega: I feel...VICTORIOUS!
Mood: Victorious
