Authors note 1: Thanks for you're patience guys and gals, it means a lot! :) Here is you're next chapter.
HeavenlyAngel34: Glad you loved it :) This is what happens next...
Nekoopa: Glad you think it's awesome :)
CrushTatia1512:Glad you like it, it's addictive eh? That's quite the compliment! Just don't let it control you XP :)
laury13: I'm happy that you love it! :) Wow, I have a reader in Columbia? That's awesome!
Jazzgirl123: My, that zoo play thing was harder to write than you would think! Paparazzi are annoying, and you're right only bad things happen when Jade's mad!
Sharpay Evans 11: I'm glad you love this story! I love Cat and Bori too!
"What was that for?" Cat exclaimed as she picked up the pieces of her now broken pear phone.
"Cat, did you even read the headline?" Jade replied angrily.
"No," Cat said softly. "What did it say?"
"It said that Beck was dating that Kelly Vashti brat! He's cheating on me, Tori knows it, and she's helping him get away with!" Jade nearly shouted.
"Oh no!" Cat exclaimed. "But Beck loves you! I heard him say so just yesterday!"
"Apparently he was lying, Cat."
"What do we do?" Cat asked.
"You get Robbie and Andre. Meet me in the janitor's closet. We're telling them what's going on, and I'll get my revenge on Beck and Vega."
"Okay," Cat glanced around and then ran off.
~.~.~.~
Ten minutes later, the foursome were in the closet. Cat was very excited to be in the closet belonging to the Janitor.
"Jade, why are we here?" Andre asked.
"Yeah, were missing class," Robbie chimed in.
"Beck is cheating on Jade," Cat said.
"You said what?" Andre asked.
"Beck is cheat-" Cat started.
"No, Cat, I heard you, I was just surprised by it, that's all"
"Oh, okay," The red head said with a smile.
"So, what are we supposed to do about it?" Robbie asked.
"You know that play coming up? The Shakespeare one?" Jade asked.
"Yeah, of course," Robbie answered.
"Vashti's going to be in that right? So we get the press to come, and then we rat her out to the whole world," Jade said with an evil look.
"So what do we do in the meantime?" Andre asked.
"Try to avoid Beck and Vega, but don't be to suspicious about it," Jade said with a shrug.
~.~.~.~
After school that day, Tori got a text from Kelly. "Hey Beck n I r going 2 the beach 2marow. Wanna come?" Tori texted back.
"Ya, sure. Where should I meet U 2?
"Come by r house 2morow 10. well order pizza 4 lunch."
"Sounds cool btw tell beck we r not bringing the RV this time."
"KK. C U 2morrow :)" was the last message from Kelly that evening. Trina waltzed past where Tori sat on the couch.
"Hey, Trina," Tori said.
"Well hello, lil' sista," Trina called over her shoulder.
"Why are you in such a good mood today?" Tori asked suspiciously.
"Oh, no huge reason, except that I get to be a queen in the upcoming school play!" Trina sang out.
"Cool. You know I'm one of the leads in that, right?" Tori asked conversationally.
"Pssht, yeah. But everyone always goes nuts over the queen." Trina retorted, than slipped up the stairs to her bedroom. Tori rolled her eyes, then opened her laptop to go to TheSlap. There were some new status updates.
"Beck Oliver: I just found a pair of size 7 shoes in my RV. I haven't worn 7s in three years. Guess it's time to clean... MOOD: Cleaning-ish"
"Jade West: I hate Fridays. Today is Friday. I hate today. MOOD: hateful"
"Robbie Shapiro: My grandma got me a pack of Hannah Montana undies. I haven't watched that show since I was fourteen! Oi Vey, Grandma, Keep Up! MOOD: Annoyed" There were a few comments under that post.
"Beck Oliver: I Thought they only made Hannah Montana underwear for little girls...
Robbie Shapiro: Well, Grandma got them because I used to wear girls underwear when I was a little kid because they fit better. She thinks I still wear them."
Beck Oliver:...
Andre Harris: You watched Hannah Montana when you were fourteen?
Robbie Shapiro: Yeah, didn't you?
Andre Harris:..." Tori raised an eyebrow. "More than I wanted to know..." she muttered t herself, and continued reading profile updates.
"Andre Harris: Remixing 'What You Want' by Evanescence. MOOD: Musical"
Jade West: Don't you butcher my favorite song!"
"Cat Valentine: I got a letter from my brother today! Yay! MOOD: happy"
"Trina Vega: Ugh, theres an enormous zit on my back! MOOD: disgusted
Sinjin Van Cleef: Can I pop it for you?
Trina Vega: CREEP!" Tori shook her head. "Why don't I have any 'normal' friends?" she said aloud.
~.~.~.~
Tori walked up the steps to Beck's RV, and knocked on the door. He opened it.
"Hello, Miss Vega," he greeted.
"Hello, Mr. Oliver. Where is Miss Vashti?" Tori asked.
"In the house, I think. Will you please go get her?" Beck requested. "Tell her to meet us in the car." Twenty minutes later, they were approaching the beach with arm loads of stuff: Towels, sunscreen, a beach ball, a cooler of drinks and snacks, bathing suits, a blanket to sit on, and a portable speaker to plug their Pear Phones into. Soon, they had everything set up, and had changed into bathing suits. Tori wore a yellow bikini, and Kelly wore a one piece patterned with think, bold hot pink and black stripes and a pair of black short shorts over it. The beach was pretty much deserted for whatever reason. It was beautiful out.
"So it is ten thirty right now. What time do we have to leave, Kel?" Beck asked as he looked at his watch.
"I have to be at the venue at five."
"Venue?" Tori asked.
"Yeah, I'm playing a show tonight. Wanna come? I can get you a back stage pass" Kelly asked.
"That sounds amazing! What other bands are playing?"
"Cuddle fish, and a few local bands," Kelly answered. "We should leave here around three so we can shower and change."
"Sounds good. Anyone up for swimming?" Beck asked. The girls agreed, and they finally dragged themselves out of the water close to noon. Beck ordered a pizza ad they all plopped down on the blanket. Tori plugged her phone into the speaker and played the album, "All Things Bright and Beautiful" by Owl City. The pizza didn't take long, and soon arrived.
"So, what are you guys going to do about that article?" Tori asked after her first slice of pizza.
"Nothing," Kelly said. "The press comes out with rumors like that all the time. It'll smooth over." Tori shrugged and went back to her pizza. Nobody noticed the cameraman behind a sand dune, taking countless photos. Eventually, they left and went to Kelly's gig. While they were there, the journalist called in a favor and had the Police identify the two mysterious Teens accompanying the Star. A new article popped up:
"Meet Kelly Vashti's New Man."
by Angela Merchant
This young rock star seems to have it all: an amazing voice, a band full of cute guys, she herself is beautiful, sweet, and successful. But now, she's got something to add to that list: an amazingly hot boyfriend! He looked a little familiar, and we figured out he played a waiter in the movie, Misfire, and has been spotted hanging out with Alyssa Vaughn. Otherwise, he doesn't really have much claim to fame. He goes to a prestigious performing arts high school called Hollywood Arts in Hollywood, California...
And then, the wholeworld knew how to track down Beck Oliver, and lots of reporters began to make plans to visit the school on Monday.
Author's note 2: So this chapter was shorter than the others, I know. I'm thinking this story is going to be relatively short in general, like 5-10 chapters. So not too short, but not very long either. Writing TheSlap updates for people was A LOT of fun hahaha!
Rock on, Dudes and Dudettes!
L3VE,
Bethany :)
