Friday, October 26, 2012 10:00 am

Hollywood Arts, Science Class

(Andre, Cat)

Sitting together in their second period class silently reading from their text books, Cat whispered to Andre about the kind of clothes she wanted to wear for Darrius's party tonight. He whispered back what ideas he liked and the ones he didn't, she giggled and wrote down clothes combinations in her notebook. The teacher sensed that Andre's table wasn't doing their work, he sat up from his chair and walked out around from his desk to confront Cat who was texting on her phone.

The teacher walked up and took Cat's phone away from her, something Cat was quick to react to.

"Hey! Give me back my phone you butt!"

"I'm sorry Cat but you know the school rules, no using personal phones unless you're outside in the hallways, in the cafeteria or have special permission from a teacher. And I don't plan on giving you or anyone else here that kind of permission, this is a classroom not a social club. I'll return this to you at the end of the class period, until then do your work and you wont get detention."

"No…my phone…I want my phone back." Cat said all sad like, Andre placed an around her and rubbed her back.

"He said he would give it back at the end of the period, c'mon don't get mad and just finish your work ok." he tried telling her so she wouldn't start crying or whining.

"I'll get mad later when my own period comes, and It might be soon."

"Alright Cat I think that was to much info, just try to focus on getting these questions about the human immune system done."

Cat giggled and poked Andre In his face and sides, getting chuckles from him.


Outside Cafeteria, Lunch Period

(Tori, Beck, Alex, Jade)

Sitting on a table with friends eating some lunch, Alex looked over at another table where Darrius sat with another black student who wasn't Andre. he could tell he was looking not at him or Jade but at Beck and Tori. He turned his head to see what Beck and Tori were doing that could have made Darrius give them the stink eye. They were just smiling at each other and eating their food, nothing else besides the usual small kisses. He knew that he and Jade had history from the picture that she burned and that she also had something special with Beck.

But all that was history now, Jade rested her head on Alex's shoulder. She bit into an apple and looked over at mail in her phone, she looked up and saw Alex scanning the Area. He looked like a radar antenna that moved his head left and right constantly and repetitively, she smiled and turned her attention back to her phone.

Alex took his book bag off and pulled out a drawing he drew up and colored on a special all plain white pages book in Improv class. He flipped through pages and showed Jade what he wanted her to see, she turned her phone off and took a hold of the book by it's spine. What Alex drew up for her was a knight, one who was donned in armor like his when he went to fight Fumiko. His character was knelt down on one knee holding a large sword that looked like a scissor blade, it was a glimering silver with blood on the blade. He had on a blue poncho, African beads and a necklace that provided light for him while surrounded by darkness.

"Wow Alex…did you make this?" Jade asked him.

"Yeah, It's something I want you to have. Think of it as your guardian…cuz one seems to have finally left us [winks at her]"

Jade smiled and kissed him on his lips and cheek, Tori asked if she could see the drawing. She couldn't tell what it was at first so she stepped out of her seat to go into the sunlight, Alex stood up as well to describe what it was she was seeing. With only Jade and Beck at the table…they paused at first, feeling nervous about talking to each other. But Beck being the cool guy broke the ice,

"How goes things Jade? You had fun last night here?"

"Yeah…a lot of fun, you work hard you play hard; you know how it is."

"I sure do." he answered.

"Hey Tori…why is that Darrius giving you the big stink eye?" Alex asked her, he took his drawing book back and closed it.

"It's a long story Alex, I promise to tell you what it's about before I graduate."

"Graduate…that word scares me Tori." he told her.

"why? Oh wait…Jade right?"

"she has one more year here and I still have two more…I don't want her to go Tori, I guess that sounds selfish of me."

"No Alex that's not true, if anything it means that you love her and no one else has shown her more love than you. If I was…I don't into someone younger than me…you would be at the top of my list."

"Then that means…that you like me then…do you like me Tori?" he asked with a stupid grin on his face.

"You're funny, and that's good cuz girls like to laugh. But uh, I think we're better off staying friends."

"Fair enough" Alex responded, the two went back to their table and finished eating. Darrius stood up from his table and went back inside of the school before the bell rung, there were more important matters to attend to and glaring at Beck and Jade was getting old and boring.


Author's Speed Card

Walking out of her home looking sexy and drop dead gorgeous in her pink one shoulder lace dress, pink pumps with black bow and holding a pink handbag, Cat was ready to shake her booty some more. Andre was waiting by his Acura ILX Compact sedan wearing all black. black jeans, shiny dress shows, a black belt. on his torso he wore a black polo shirt and a black blazer over that. He held the passenger door open for her, she stepped inside and placed her seat belt on.

Over at a different part of town, Trina waited outside of Robbie's home in front of her own car. She wore a red and black scuba dress with black pumps, she wore a beautiful necklace that had the word "Blur" on it. She checked her black handbag and pulled out the gold pocket watch to check the time. It was still early in the night, Robbie came walking out of his home looking sexy in jeans w/pocket chain and dress shoes and a solid black long sleeve shirt.

Trina winked at him and allowed Robbie to open her door, she sat in and open the passenger door for him from the inside. He went in and placed his seat belt on, Robbie combed his gelled up hair back some more and kissed Trina.


Royal Blue Night Club, Hollywood 9:30pm

Arriving to the club that belonged to Darrius's father, Trina and Robbie stepped out of the car and walked to the front of the club that was being guarded by big buff guards in black muscle shirts. They asked the couple to get in line and wait like the rest, Robbie tried to act cool in front of everyone and in front of Trina.

"Listen boys, my name is Robbie Shapiro, if you look inside your clipboard I'm sure you'll find the names Robbie and Trina. Please don't keep us waiting out here in the cold."

"We don't uses clipboards little man, if you want in then you had to have been invited by the owner or anyone related to him."

"We were, Darrius invited us here." The guard looked at each other, one of them walked in while the other told Robbie and Trina to wait where they stood. As they waited, Andre and Cat came walking around from the corner and met up with them.

"Hey you two you look amazing, what are ya doing just standing here?" Andre asked Robbie.

"A bouncer went inside to get Darrius I guess, but while we wait let me be the one to say that Andre you look good and Cat…wow you look amazing."

"[giggles] gross Robbie"

"What? What I do?"

"These are the ones who told us that you said you invited them" out came saying the bouncer who went in, Darrius was in similar clothing as Andre was, except it was all dark blue and not black.

"Oh shit my man Andre is here, and you must be Robbie, Trina told me a lot about you Ma dude. And we have the cute and beautiful Cat valentine and sexy Trina Vega, come in, come in. I hope all of you brought your VIP cards…just fucking with ya'll, I'm your VIP card so don't sweat it. Drink as much as ya want and dance as much as ya want."

Cat and Trina went running inside of the club to begin some dancing when R Kelly's "Bump n' Grind" started to play.
