Chapter 10
Tori's POV
I was inside the barn and walk up the stairs to the loft and set my back down I was so upset with my dad. I mean I understand that he's trying to protect but he needs to trust me. I was just standing there looking at the sky then I remember Lana's necklace I went to my backpack and grab the box Lex gave me. I sat down on the couch that we have in the loft and opened up the small box and I start to get weak. I look at my hand and its weird looking and the meteor rock was hurting me and making me sick. I then quickly close the box and I felt a whole lot better and I looked at my hand and it was back to normal. Suddenly I hear someone coming up the stairs and I quickly threw the box back in my backpack. Then I waited for whoever was coming up the stairs and it was Lana "Huh I wonder why she's here?" I thought.
"Lana?" I said and I got up from the couch.
"Hey Tori you're mom said you were up here hope you don't mind." Lana said a bit nervous and she smiles at me.
"Uh no, no not at all Lana." I said with a smile and she nods her head. "You can come here any time."
"This place is amazing Tori." Lana said looking around and walking to my telescope looking through it.
"Thanks my dad built; he calls it my fortress of solitude." I said with a smile and Lana looks at me then walks up to me.
"Didn't know you were into astronomy Tori." Lana said pointing at the telescope.
"Oh yeah, that's sort of a hobby and it also calms me." I said looking at it then at Lana she just smiles. "So um why aren't with Jade and Cat? You usually are."
"Oh they had something to do but I might see then later." Lana said I just nod my head still kind of wondering why she's here.
"Hey Lana not trying to be rude or anything but we lived a mile apart are whole lives and you never come over?" I said looking at her serious she nods in understanding.
"And you're wondering what I'm doing here now." Lana said.
"Not that I don't enjoy the company, but yeah I kinda was." I said and it's true I like being with Lana but I'm also wondering what she's doing here.
"I found out about what Whitney did to you. The whole scarecrow thing…and I came here to apologize." Lana said looking at me seriously ok so that's why she's here.
"It's ok Lana it's not your fault just forget about it." I said and walk over to the couch and sat down.
"I can't he had no right to do that to you Tori." Lana said upset and she sits down next to me. "You've been nothing but nice to him and he just does this to you."
"It's ok Lana really I'm kinda use to it." I said looking at the floor it's true all my life I've been picked on and people always been mean to me especially Jade, but for some reason I just can't make myself to hate her. Lana feels bad but she kinda knows what my childhood was like then suddenly I feel warmth on my hand. I look and Lana's hand was on mine and I look at her.
"Tori I'm sorry." Lana said I just look at her.
"Look Lana I appreciate you coming over here but you're not the one who should be apologizing." I said to her serious she just looks at me and gets up off the couch and walks over to the huge window.
"I didn't come here to defend him. I came here to see you." Lana said and I just stare at her so then I also got up and walk to where she was.
"Who told you?" I ask her and she smiles at me.
"You might not believe me, but Jade did." Lana said I just look at her now confused and she giggles a little bit at my reaction.
"Um can you repeat that last part again." I said seriously Lana just smiles at me and shakes her head.
"Yes Tori Jade's the one that told me…well she left some clues and I figured out the rest." Lana explains and I just stand there taking in the information I just got. Jade is the one that told Lana but why I thought she hated me? "It proves that Jade cares about you Tori."
"Yeah, she's also the one that found me and help me when I was tied up in the field." I said and Lana just looks at me weird.
"Really?" Lana asks oops I guess Jade didn't mention that to her.
"Um yeah that's why she was kinda late to the dance." I explain and she nods her head and wait did I just see a bit of jealousy in her eyes maybe Lex is right. No Tori you just might be seeing things it was nothing. "So um what are you going to do about Whitney?" I ask changing the subject.
"I'm not sure, I thought I knew Whitney. Now I wonder what else I've been blind to in my life. He even lost my favorite necklace." Lana said upset I look at my backpack wondering if I should give it to her right now.
"Can't you replace it?" I ask she looks at me and begins to talk.
"Sounds kind of weird but it was made of a fragment of the meteor that killed my parents. Nell had it made gave it to me the day she officially adopted me." Lana said smiling a bit then continues on "She told me that life is about change sometimes it's painful…sometimes it's beautiful but most of the time it's both." Lana said and looks at me then she walks up to me and what she does next kinda surprise me. She kisses me on my cheek and leans back and smiles at me I just stand there like an idiot. "I better go." Lana then walks to the stairs and I just watch her and she stops then looks at me. "I'm glad you're ok Tori." I just nod my head at her and she smiles then she leaves.
I then look at the time and it was 7:36 pm I remember I had to go meet up with Chloe and Robbie at the café shop so I grab my jacket and went to got meet them. I start to super speed to town and stop when I see Chloe and Robbie and they were walking and talking. I ran up to them and I caught up with them and they look at me smiling.
"Hey guys what were you guys talking about?" I ask them as we kept on walking our way to the café store.
"Hey Tori we were just talking about what happen with Principal Wong." Robbie explains and smiles and I realized Rex wasn't with him.
"Hey where's Rex?" I ask him.
"Oh he had a date with some cheerleaders." Robbie said and I just look at him weird then I hear Chloe talking to us.
"Hello guys are you listening it doesn't make since cars just don't catch on fire." Chloe said sounding very obsessed with what happen to Principal Wong. I just look at her weird then I look at Robbie.
"Cops say it's a faulted wiring." Robbie said and I just nod my head now understanding a bit.
"Already got my head flying farm girl saves principal from burning car." Chloe said for the torch at the high school I just smile at what she says and so does she.
"Farm girl really Chloe could you have come up with something a little better." Robbie said I mean I don't mind that's all the school knows me by.
"I think it's fine I mean I don't really do anything at school Robbie except help Andre with his music." I said as we walk into the café store.
"Well you should try something at school." Lana said as she walks by us so that's why she left kind of early.
"I'm guessing that's why left early huh you work here." I said and Lana nods her head as she picks up a serving plate with two cups on it.
"Uh what is this some sort of like cheerleading charity thing like being a waitress for a night sort of thing?" Chloe asks as she follows Lana so did Robbie and me.
"Yes it is expected for the cheerleading and the charity parts and tips are always appreciated." Lana said as she gives the cups to the people who order.
"So you are a waitress for real huh." I said smiling at her Lana nods her head and returns my smile.
"I even got the prekee name tag to prove it." Lana said pointing at it.
"I'm guessing this is your first day." Chloe said looking at her.
"Yep." Was all Lana said while she was serving to people?
"Hey Lana where's your necklace that you always have on?" Robbie asks noticing that she's not wearing it. Lana looks a bit sad because Whitney lost her necklace.
"Dress code no jewelry and no open toes shoes." Lana explains but leaves out that her boyfriend lost her necklace."
"You're very waitress like." I said to her smiling try to make her a bit happy. Lana chuckles and smiles back at me so it worked.
"Now if only I can tell the difference between a half café decafe and a nonfat lo tea." Lana said while walking back over to the counter.
"In that case I'll just have a regular coffee." Chloe said to Lana and she nods her head.
"Same here thanks Lana." Robbie said as Chloe and him find a seat and start talking about what happen to the principal again. I notice that Lana left the serving plate and so I grab it and take it to her.
"Hey Lana you forgot this." I said and she turns to me and I handed the plate to her she smiles a bit embarrassed.
"Thanks Tori that's been happening a lot today." Lana and grabs the serving plate and I laugh a little bit and she smacks my arm. "It's not funny."
"Sorry Lana first days are always rough." I said and I pull out a stool and sat on it. "So you just quit cheerleading?"
"Yea, you sound surprised?" Lana said looking at me.
"Well yea kinda I mean it's not like you broke any state laws or anything but you always seemed so happy doing it." I said explaining to her she nods in understanding.
"My mom was a cheerleader so was my aunt. I figured it was time to break cycle." Lana said I started to laugh a bit she just smiles at me. Then I see Jade and Cat coming in through the door
"Hey Lana, hey Kent." Jade said walking over to Lana and so does Cat Lana says hi to them I just nod my head.
"How's work going Lana?" Cat asks hugging her then letting go.
"Good just a lot of things to remember and do thanks again Jade for getting me this job." Lana said a bit happy so Jade got Lana a job that's cool Jade just smiles at her.
"Lana table three has been waiting for their drinks for five minutes if it goes cold its coming out of your tips." Some girl said behind the counter I'm assuming that's her boss or the manger.
"Right sorry." Lana said.
"Don't be sorry just be faster." Said the girl man she has an altitude its Lana's first day not her fault.
"Hey cut her some slack it's her first day on the job alright." Jade shouted at the girl mad she just left huffed and left them. I started laughing a bit Jade always like to make people mad doesn't she.
"Thanks Jade well I better get back to work I'll see you later." Lana said and left to serve some more people.
"So did Lana go to your house Kent?" Jade asks right after Lana left.
"Yea she came by to see me and we talked about what happen the worst part is that Whitney lost Lana's necklace." I said looking at her and her face went from blank to angry I mean really angry.
"What!" Jade yelled and everyone heard and looked at her and she notice. "What are you guys staring at?" Jade said angry and everyone went back to their business then Jade looks at me again. "You serious Kent?"
"Yes Jade." I said.
"I'm going to fucken kill him." Jade said and gritted her teeth, Cat came up to her and put her hand on her shoulder.
"Jade no Lana might be really mad at you if you do that." Cat said trying to calm her down but it was working.
"I don't fucken care he lost the most important thing that belonged to Lana." Jade said somewhat shouting at Cat and she looked a bit scared.
"Whoa Jade calm down alright." I said as I got up and grab Jade by the shoulders trying to calm her down and she does as her eyes met mine. "Yelling at your sister isn't going to help find Lana's necklace." Jade just nods her head and I look at Cat she mouths me a thank you I just nod my head.
"Alright I'm going to the field to find Lana's necklace Cat you're coming with me later Kent." Jade said as she grabs Cat and drags her to her car. Cat says goodbye to me and I wave at her as they left.
No one's POV
"Lana's a waitress?" Chloe said still surprised.
"What's the matter with that?" Robbie asks her confused.
"Nothing I just want to click my heels and get back to reality." Chloe responded Robbie just nods his head. He and Chloe then notice a football player and walks up to the other football players. The guy says that the couch wants to see them at the football field right now and they all get up and left the café shop.
"What's up with the football jocks I wonder why they are in a hurry?" Chloe said looking where the jocks just left.
"Beats me so how should we start this project Chloe?" Robbie asks her as he pulls out his lab top.
"I'll see you tomorrow." Chloe said as she gets up quickly and grabs her jacket and her bag.
"Wait Chloe we have to do our project." Robbie said confused as Chloe left quickly.
Tori's POV
After I saw Cat and Jade left I started walking back to where Robbie and Chloe are sitting. Then I saw Chloe walk by me and she seems in a bit of a hurry, but why.
"Chloe where are you going?" I said as I saw her leave.
"Relax I'll see you tomorrow." Chloe said to me I just stare at her confused, but I paid no mind to it. Then I see Lana walking by with a serving plate and a few cups on it. Suddenly somebody runs and accidently runs into Lana and she drops the plate and she loses her footing and starts fall. She was about to hit the floor until I grab her by the waist and pull her up before she fell. She looks at me a bit surprised then she smiles.
"Thanks." Lana said I was still holding her and I noticed and quickly let her go. She seems a bit upset about that, but I pay no mind to it.
"Your welcome." I said and went and sat down next to Robbie while Lana began to pick up the mess. I felt Robbie staring at me so I look at him and he was smiling at me.
"What?" I ask him.
"Nothing." Robbie said and went back to whatever he was doing on his lab-top. God I hope he's not thinking that I like Lana or something because I don't…I think.
No one's POV
At the football field the sprinklers were on and Coach Walt starts yelling at the football players who were at the café shop. The reason why he's yelling at them is because he wants to know who told the principal that he supplied them with those test.
"Coach no colleges are going to even look at us with cheating on are records." The kid Trevor said to the coach. Coach Walt realized that it was him who told and he walks up to him.
"So it was you huh Trevor now why that doesn't surprise me." Coach Walt said angrily and back hand slaps him in the face the suddenly the water on the sprinkler turned into fire. All the football players look at the sprinklers very confused and scared.
"Nothing, Nothing! Is going to stand between me and my legacy and now you go home and keep your mouths shout understand." Coach Walt said angrily and all the football players nod their heads scared and they watch coach left. In the distance Chloe was behind some benches and saw the whole thing and she took some pictures.
