Chapter 11: My Choice; Part 1
"And that, is why the spider has eight legs..." The HA student, Jacey Forns trailed off. The teacher of the Creative Writing class gives the teen girl a second glance before shaking his head and recording her assignment score. He motions for her to take a seat and for the class to clap; Reluctantly, one by one, they all break into a slow applause.
Beck Oliver roams his fingers through his hair and sighs, glancing to the left.
A blonde haired, gorgeous girl with a bright colored sweater, bringing out her fair skin tone, automatically smiles and starts waving at him. He flashes her a small grin and slowly turns his head, making sure that she does not see him roll his dark brown eyes.
Is every girl here looking to date me? He questions to himself, in his head. I know. I'll just talk to Nikki! He thinks before turning his head to the right.
Laying right before him is a sleeping, blue haired teen, with her head buried in her arms. Light and low snores are coming from her, signaling that she was in a deep sleep. His dark and slightly bushy eyebrows knit together, but his lips curve into a small smile. He glanced over Nikki, locking eyes with André Harris.
"She just knocked out." André whispered, loud enough for Beck to hear.
Nodding his head, Beck motions to Andre. They both stare at the board, and the student reading an essay.
The board read:
Oral Presentation on Topic of Your Choice.
(Worth 100 points)
Be prepared to present. No excuses!
André's sudden relaxed expression, quickly changed and he grabbed a piece of paper. Beck whispers, "What are you doing? Did you do it?" The boy nods his head once but presses a finger to his lips, silencing his friend and avoiding a second glance from the teacher. André rolled the piece of paper up into a ball and he threw it, hitting Nikki on the head. The paper bounced off the pastel purple, cupcake-design beanie that rested on Nikki's head, causing the teen girl to stir in her sleep.
André gave Beck a look that clearly read, wanna' have a go?
Beck snickers whole he rips out a piece of paper from his spiral notebook and balls it up, throwing it at the sleeping girl. This time it hits her on the arm and she lets out a yawn, finally waking up.
"H... Hey..." She groggily sighs, rubbing her eyes. She glances at Beck and André and the two lone, paper balls. Rolling her caramel brown eyes, Nikki murmurs, "Leave it to you two chuckle-heads to wake me up." The blue-haired teen girl leans back into the chair, letting out a heavy sigh.
"Why were you sleeping?" Beck asked her, looking up at the front of the classroom. Berf, Sinjin's weird friend was reciting a poem about bell peppers. From the many confused and bummed out expressions painted across the classroom, he thought that he might as well not listen or pay attention. His focus flickers back to the energy-deprived girl and his best friend, André.
"Last night I kept getting these new followers on The Slap and while I was trying to go to bed, the annoying little beeping sound kept making me jolt up in my sleep." She explains, using her finger tips to brush the thick, wavy bang from out of her right eye.
André shakes his head full of light brown, micro-twists. "Why not just silence ya' phone?" He points out. Nikki slowly turns her head to look at him.
"It is common sense..." Beck adds in. She turns her head to the opposite direction to look at him. She sinks lower in her seat. "Well, I... sorta didn't want to... miss any alerts... I also tried pulling an all-nighter with my boyfriend... and, I was expecting a call..."
"Did ya' receive the call and pull the all nighter with ya' boyfriend?"
Nikki pouts. "No..." She lets another yawn escape her lips and lays her head back on the desk. "I don't know about you two... But I am tired."
"What about the assignment?" Beck reminds her. The blue haired teen shrugs her shoulders. "It's not like Mr. Madden is gonna' call on me anytime soon." She trailed off, letting out another yawn. A few tears escapes her eye ducts and she quickly wipes them away. Nikki Radke was very tired. She probably hadn't been this tired ever since she started to attend Hollywood Arts.
Oh, well. She knew what she was getting herself into the moment she signed up and turned in those applications, not to mention, audition. Her eyes slowly started to close and her full, pink lips parted as her breaths became even and mellow. A light snore erupted from the back of her throat as she dozed off.
The class slowly clapped as Berf sat down. The teacher, scrolling down a list, called a random name.
"Nikki Radke."
The room silenced as the class waited for her to come up. Beck and André both glanced at each other and then Nikki, who was fast asleep. The two boys stood up, both lifting the sleeping Radke out of her seat. Beck holding her up on the left and André holding her up on the right.
"What's going on, Mr. Harris and Oliver?" The teacher questions, narrowing his thick eyebrows at the three.
The boys started making their way down the row, both supporting her from either side they were on.
"She, uh..." Beck started, pausing to think of a good excuse to come up with.
"She has jelly legs!" André announces. The tan teen boy rolls his dark brown eyes at André's response but regardless, they escort the sleeping girl to the front. "She sure is a heavy sleeper..." Beck whispered.
"Tell me about it..." André retorts. "And, dang! What does she eat?!"
André leans her against the board. Her head slightly tilts to the side and more light snores comes from her.
"Is... Ms. Radke sleeping?"
André and Beck quickly exchange glances.
"... New acting exercise for Sikowitz's class." Beck's quick to say,while readjusting Nikki's head.
The teacher cocked his head to the side but then let out a sigh. "You know... Sikowitz was always a weird acting teacher..."
Everyone agrees to this, nodding their heads and begins to chat before being shut off by a waiting and expectant Mr. Madden. "Regardless, let's have Nikki present her oral presentation." - "Have a seat, boys."
Beck and André without having a choice, take a seat, fearing for the indeed, sleeping teenage girl.
The class was silent.
Light snores started to come from Nikki, before she slouched over.
Either everyone figures that she was that great of an actor or that she was sleeping for real.
All of a sudden, a loud Beep! was heard from a pear phone in particular.
Mr. Madden's face twisted up in expressions of annoyance and disdain. He turned around to face the number of students that filled the classroom. "Alright. Who's phone was that? I thought we all understood the classroom rule of cell phones on silent mode."
Before anyone could respond, the blue haired teen jolted up, pulling out her pear-phone. "Ooh! Yes!" She exclaims, oblivious to the different pairs of eyes staring at her. "I got a new follower on The Slap!"
Nikki confirmed the follower and slid her pear-phone back into her jeans' pocket. When she looked up, she was greeted by the whole classroom staring at her and Mr. Madden shaking his
Nikki shifted uncomfortably before blushing in embarrassment and trailing off, "Mr. Madden... class... Why are you all looking at me...?"
.
.
.
"Ugh!" Tori groaned in annoyance as she kept scrolling down the catalog on her pear-phone. Cat, playing with a lock of her fiery red hair giggled before mocking Tori. "Ugh!"
The brunette's eyes stalked off of her phone and she looked at Cat. The fiery red haired teen started giggling, covering her eyes with one of her hands.
Shaking her head, Tori let out a sigh before continuing her previous activity. She let out a groan, knocking her head back and slammed her phone down on the table. Coming to realization of what she just did, she quickly picked up her pear-phone checking for any cracks.
"Tori, why are you all ugh-ie today?" Cat questioned, feeling a bit concerned for her friend. Tori furrowed her eyebrows. "What did you say, Cat?"
The red-head shrugged her shoulders, humming to herself before Tori stopped her. "What is it, Cat?"
Cat started laughing a bit before letting out a sigh. "My brother asked his therapist a weird question, last night. And it wasn't Alfonso, the Spanish one. He got a new therapist who looks like Jonah Hill with funny and curly mustache..."
Tori's face showed expressions of confusion and slight annoyance. "What does that have to do with anythin-"
"He asked the therapist, Have you ever considered eating your own intestines? and the therapist man said This session is for me, not for you, so might I ask, where did that thought come from? What are you thinking at the moment?, ha-ha... And my brother smiled and said You know all those funny bolts that are screwed, keeping the school buses together? I am thinking that if I loosened all of the bolts when a bus driver wasn't looking, then snuck right off, when the people got on the bus and they started driving, what would happen? Would it fall apart or what? Tee-hee, my brother is so messed up..." Cat trailed off, chuckling to herself, while playing with some strands of her hair.
Tori glanced at Cat before closing her eyes for a second and sighing heavily. "That's good to hear, Cat..." She said.
The red head's chocolate brown eyes widened, as she obviously asked, "What's good to hear?" Cat started to look around, in confusion.
Tori shook her head once again.
"Look! There's Nikki!" Cat pointed to the fast-walking blue haired teen.
Nikki approached the table, slamming down a white paper, written in black print. On top of the page read in bold letters, TEACHER-PARENT CONFERENCE.
"Can you believe Mr. Madden scheduled a conference with my parents?" She scowled, rolling her eyes.
"Well, you did fall asleep in his class..." Tori mentioned, cocking her head to the side and shrugging her shoulders. "I heard from Beck and André. They could have warned you to never fall asleep in his class." She adds, looking over the form.
Nikki sighed, "Well, thanks for telling me that now!" She reached in her bag, taking out a bottle of Minute Maid apple-juice and a straw. "And, you know, I thought they didn't do conferences anymore! What is this? Elementary school?!"
"Mr. Madden's the only teacher who we know that still does it." Cat told her. "I had his class last year and he scheduled a conference with my parents. But it was okay. Ha-ha, after my brother was released from the hospital, I made him go as my dad." The red head shrugged her shoulders, content with that.
"Eh, it's no big deal. I can just get my father to go for me. He'll get me off the hook with Madden..." Nikki trailed off, taking a long gulp of her apple juice.
Cat's eyes widened and she gasped, causing Tori to frown and Nikki to nearly choke. "You have a father, Nikki? Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!" Cat chimed in her high, soprano voice.
The blue haired teen, glanced around at all of the other HA students in the outside food court, and shrugged her shoulders, idly. "Yeah, I got a dad. What? Did you think I had two moms or something," She joked, shaking her head at her friend's logic. Cat started to giggle.
"If you like, had two moms... That'd be impossible! I thought in order to have a baby, you needed a man and a woman and then the man need a pe-"
"So, Nikki? Are you and Jay going to The Girl's Choice dance?" Tori quickly changed the subject, stopping Cat from finishing her thought.
The blue haired teen rolled her caramel brown eyes in annoyance, sipping up the last bit of her apple juice with the straw. "I dunno'..." She murmured, adding, "And don't call him Jay, Tori." - "Only I can do that..."
"My brother had a personal nickname before." Cat blurted out, looking oblivious and nodding her head, while playing with a lock of her hair.
Tori and Nikki both glanced at Cat before continuing their conversation.
"But, Nikki, it'll be fun!" Tori exclaimed, beaming a bright smile that showed off her cheekbones. "You can ride in a limo, get a cute dress, take pictures and dance the night away!" Tori started fist pumping, dancing to herself.
The blue haired teen just stared at the brunette. "Or, I could stay home, drink apple juice, eat lasagna and indulge in horror movies and jam to my favorite music..." She countered, raising her hands and letting them fall back down to her sides. Tori frowned a bit before letting out a sigh.
"Well you should come!" She whined, picking up her pear-phone and starting to browse through the catalogs again. "I am having a really hard time deciding what kind of dress to get, you know?"
Nikki was about to respond, but Tori continued talking. "I was going to get this purple, short and frilly dress... But Trina saw it and oozed all over it..." Tori narrowed her eyes. "Then there was this cute peach colored dress with lacy trimmings but peach doesn't really go with my skin tone..."
Tori was about to show Nikki another dress, but was interrupted. "Tori, looking at dresses are nice, sometimes, but I just am not into any of this stuff... Plus, me and Jason... I don't think he'd want to go, so my answer is no. And that's final, okay?"
Tori sighed and nodded her head. "Anyways, I have to get going to my next class. "See you later." Nikki waved to Tori and have Cat a pat on the head, before walking off, inside the building.
*Nikki's House*
"So! Guess who got a raise at the office?" Agetha chimed to her daughter, son and husband. Winston gave her a goofy smile and chirped, "Was it the Vega neighbors next door? I really think they have a balanced fam-" The middle aged man was interrupted by his now fuming wife.
"No you idiot! I did! Agetha Collins got a raise! Humph!" She dropped her fork near her plate and crossed her arms across her chest. Winston pushed his glasses up to his face because they drooped off of his nose and he scratched the nape of his neck. "Sorry Sexy-Dear. I didn't realize." He apologized. Agetha's pout faded and she flashed him a crooked smile.
Nikki and Joey exchanged grimaces and he blurted out, "Okay if you two cheese-balls are going to call each other your little pet names, I'm going back to Dad's." He pointed to the door with a disgusted look on his face. "And I think Big Brother will take me along with him." Nikki added in. Agetha rolled her eyes and she sassed, "Shut up, Joey! You aren't even supposed to be here in California! What I goes don't understand is how the hell do you board a plane that is supposed to be going to Florida, and end up in California?!"
Joey cleared his throat before saying, "Well, mom... You see what had happened was-"
Agetha rolled her eyes in annoyance. "I don't need any of your excuses! But sure, go back to your dead-beat father and leave the comfort of your home; your beautiful home!" He rolled his eyes and started to eat the food that was laid out before him.
"Does your father cook amazing food like Winston does?" His mother teased. Nikki rolled her eyes and ate a piece of the broccoli that rested on her plate.
She then took her napkin and spit the vegetable into it. "Well at least Dad's food is not cold..." She muttered. Her brother reached under the table and gave his little sister a high-five.
"Say Joey, can you pass the salt?" Winston asked, pointing to the slat shaker on the other side of the table.
Joey ignored his question and picked at the food. Agetha gave him a small smack on the arm and sighed, "You heard Winston ask you to pass the salt. Why not do it?"
He answered, "Huh? Oh, sorry! I didn't hear you; ya' know my mind has been foggy and the smell of grease back at work gets to my mind, enabling it to lose track and not make me pay attention, Mommy." The middle aged woman rolled her eyes and she yelled, "Well just pass the salt!"
Nikki gasped and pointed her index finger at her mother who sat at the other end of the table, "Ooooh! Mommy-Dearest raised her voice! Shame on you mommy!" The two teenagers exchanged glances and burst out laughing. "Haha, very funny." Agetha said. "Now finish your food." She ordered.
Winston rose up from the table and rushed into the kitchen. "Desert time!" He yelled from the other room.
"More food poisoning for us to gobble down?" Joey joked.
His mother rolled her eyes and then came Winston holding a couple of China Plates in his left hand and a cake in the other. "Oh no! Honey not my china plates! Get the regular plates." His wife warned. Winston gave her a 'pssshh' and sighed, "Oh Darling, what's the worst that could happen?"
"That." Nikki and Joey said at the same time. Just then Winston tripped over his own two legs, fell to the floor and dropped the China plates and cake. The plates shattered and Agetha slapped her cheeks and screamed, "Oh, no!"
Nikki and Joey watched Winston scramble up to his feet, twiddling his thumbs together like a nervous five year old. "H-Honey... I-I am sorry..." He sniffles.
Agetha was silent.
"Joey... I think I am gonna head up stairs... Mom is too silent... Something is going to happen..." Nikki whispered to her older brother. He nodded his head and pointed towards the front door.
Nikki slowly emerged from the table, racing up stairs, while Joey slowly exited the front door, leaving the Collins' residence.
Nikki sighed as she opened her bedroom door, shutting and locking it behind her. She looked up, scratching her head but letting out a gasp. Her eyes widened as she stared at her boyfriend, Jason, sitting with his hands in his laps, on her bed.
She slowly approached him, rubbing her eyes, and blinking twice.
Jason rolled his green eyes and retorted to her sudden confusion, "Yes, Nikkster, I am really here. I been up here for about ten minutes."
Nikki scratched her head and shrugged her shoulders, brushing it off. "Jay, just what are you doing here?" She questioned, taking a seat next to him on her bed.
Jason turned his head to gaze into her eyes. "Remember what you promised, Nikkster?" He touched her cheek and planted a kiss on her lips, before she could respond.
Nikki's cheeks turned colors of light pink, as she looked down at the blue gym-shorts that she wore. Jason smiled, tilting her face back to his and kissing her more softly than the last. His tongue slowly traced her bottom lip, gently, wanting an entrance.
Nikki reluctantly parted her lips, sighing when their tongues brushed up against each other. Jason grabbed Nikki, placing her on his lap, caressing her by the small of her back.
Their lips slowly move up and down, molding softly into each other. Nikki snakes her hands around Jason's neck, leaning closer into him. Jason's hands are roaming all over her back, and slowly, grabbing the black tank top, he lifts it over her head, and tosses it to the floor.
He eyes his girlfriend's lacy, teal bra and her breasts poking out before him. Nikki immediately breaks the kiss, and covers up her cheat, looking down in embarrassment.
Rolling his green eyes, Jason lets out a short sigh. "Come on, Nikki. Stop acting so scared..." He shifts her to lay on the bed with him lowering over her. Jason is about to take off his t-shirt as well, but he is stopped by his girlfriend.
"Jay... I-I can't do this with you right, now..." She murmurs, quickly wiping a tear from her eye.
"What?!" He scoffs, sitting back on the bed.
Nikki props herself up, using her elbows to look at him. His eyes are narrowed and he is clenching a fist.
The blue haired teen bit her lip, nervous as to what was about to happen. She rose up, touching his shoulder, only to be shrugged off by him.
"Jay..." She whispered. "I am sorry..."
He closed his eyes sighing a bit. "Okay, Nikki." He grabbed his slides, putting them back on and walked towards her window. "I'll just see you later, I guess..." He lowly said, with a bit of uneasiness in his tone.
Nikki followed him towards the window. He was about to climb out, but she grasped his arm. He stopped, glancing up at her with expectant eyes.
"Jason... I love you..." She murmured, kissing him on the lips. He nodded his head, climbing out the window. "I know."
Nikki watched as he slid down the roof, turning around and letting himself fall. He grasped the water spout, hanging on and then letting his hands go, landing firmly on the ground.
She stuck her head out the window, hesitant for a second before blurting out, "J-Jason... Go to The Girl's Choice dance with me!" He stopped and looked up at her. "At your school? With you?" he questioned, half surprised.
Nikki slowly nodded.
She watched her boyfriend's lips curve into a small smile. "Alright, Nikkster. Alright."
And with that, he started walking down the street, on his way home.
Next Day
Nikki paced back and forth in front of a locker in particular, hands held behind her back, in deep thought. Tori, humming the tune of a new song that she was working on and taking a sip of her coffee, stopped dead in her tracks at the sight of the blue haired teen, in denial.
"Uh, Nikki...?" She questioned, slowly approaching the teenage girl.
Nikki stopped pacing and placed a hand on Tori's shoulder. "Tori, I should hit you with a hammer but... I need your help! Jay and I are going to the dance and you... need to help me pick out all of the girly things to wear for the night..." She shrieked, shaking a bit. "I am not good with these sorts of events... So, I am asking you as a friend... -ish... to help me with this. You can even get Cat and the others, you know?"
Tori was silent for a moment before poking Nikki on the arm. "I knew you'd need me with this and I knew you'd be going!" She teased.
The blue haired teen rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest. "Don't tease me like that... Geez..."
Tori smugly smiled, grabbing Nikki's hand. "Let's go to class now!"
*Sikowitz's Class*
"I thought you loved me!" Jade screeched at a high pitch, glaring daggers at Rex. He was silent.
"Answer me!" She kneeled down to his level, shaking him by his skinny shoulders. "So help me I will-" Jade abruptly stopped, and glanced at the class and a focus Sikowitz. She stood up, ruffling her black, mini skirt. "Sikowitz, how am I supposed to act with Rex?" She questioned, sassiness laced on her tone and with furrowed eyebrows.
"Well... As it may be that Rex is..." He glanced at Robbie, idly playing sitting and watching them up at the stage. He turned to Jade, blocking his mouth with a hand and mouthed the word 'puppet'. "He is a student of the class and I need a grade for him."
Sikowitz turned to the class, frowning at the dull students. "You know what, class? Since you all are dull and quiet today, we shall discuss pantomimes! This is also a field of acting that should be good enough for Rex to compete in." He took a glance at Rex, who was now with Robbie and talking slickly to Tori, to which she frowned. Sikowitz clapped his hands together, leaping on the stage and motioning for Jade to take a seat. She rolled her icy-blue eyes and sat next to her boyfriend Beck.
While Sikowitz grasped a black marker and started to write on the board about emotions and pantomime, Jade glanced at Nikki and smirked, snatching her apple juice out her hands. Nikki silently gasped, narrowing her eyes. She reached for her apple juice, causing Jade to hold it up high in the air, silently, teasing her with it. Nikki stood up, trying her best not to alert Sikowitz of the actions going on behind him as he babbled on and wrote on the board.
Some of the class snickered at the scene laid out before them which was Jade and Nikki silently wrestling over the apple juice. Beck did nothing but smiled at his girlfriend and his friends actions.
The blue haired teen frowned, silently fuming to herself when she saw Jade lick the bottle of apple juice and the cap. Nikki sat down with her hands crossed over her chest and a pout engraved in the features of her face. Jade smugly smirked, laughing silently at the pouting Nikki and continued to drink the apple juice.
Sikowitz turned around, smiling at the students. "Thank you, Jade and Nikki for acting out that amazing pantomime. Except you wouldn't have an actual apple juice bottle. You would act like you were holding one."
Sikowitz glanced at the clock and let out a quick sigh. "The bell will ring in about three minutes, so let me give you your next assignment. You will have a pantomime to perform in front of class, next week on Monday."
Some of the students groaned and others nodded their heads in anticipation.
RING!
With the sound of the bell, everyone grabbed their belonging and head out the door, to their next class.
"Tori, we have to meet up after school, for... you know..." Nikki whispered to the walking brunette. She didn't really want students or other people hearing about her wanting advice on girly things like that. Tori nodded her head. "Sure, no problem. My house? After school?"
Nikki grimaced. "Will Trina aka Reject Vega be there?"
Tori shrugged her shoulders. "I don't think so. Usually she stays after school or something..."
Nikki shook her head in disapproval. "On second thought, nevermind..."
Tori was about to reach her next class, so she quickly suggested with a smile, "I can lock her in the bathroom if she comes home after school!"
Nikki stopped, thinking for a moment, cupping her chin. "Eh, good enough for me. Alright, see you then."
"Yeah." Tori nodded, going into her classroom.
Hopefully this girly mess doesn't kill me... She thought to herself, before getting to her next class.
