It was around 7:45 when Tori heard the doorbell ring. She got up and went to the door. She ajusted the straps of her blue dress and opened the door with a smile, expecting to see Dil. She stopped as she saw Blake.

"Blake...Hey." She said. Blake looked at her.

"Uh. Hey." He smiled. "You look...uh..Nice." He said.

"Thanks." She smiled. Blake opened his mouth to begin to ask her out when he heard a car park outside Tori's house. He turned to see a guy dressed in a white button down shirt and khaki slacks step out of the car. He smiled over to Tori. Blake blinked as his heart began to fill with a horrible feeling. The guy heled a bouquet of roses as he walked over to them. He smiled at her.

"Hey." He said. Tori looked at him.

"Hi." She said. He handed her the flowers.

"You look beautiful." He smiled. "These are for you." He said.

"Oh, wow, thanks." She smiled. Blake stood there, dumbfounded. Tori looked at him. "Oh, Blake, this is Dil. Dil this is my friend, Blake." Dil smiled politely at Blake and the two shook hands. He looked at Tori.

"Ready to go?" He asked.

"Sure, let me just go put these in water." She left them. Blake looked at Dil.

"So, uh...How do you know Tori?" He asked.

"Oh, we met a few months ago. I saw her surfing on the beach one day, and was just totally taken by her." Dil smiled. Blake nodded.

"Right." Blake said, trying to resist the urge to beat this guy to a pulp.

"Her friends kind of helped me out in meeting her." Dil added. Tori came back. She looked at Blake.

"Oh, Blake, was there something you needed to tell me?" She asked as she pulled a light button down sweater on. Blake looked at her and paused.

"Uh...yeah...But you know what, it's nothing...We'll talk later." He said, giving a forced smile. He looked at them. "Have fun."

"Thanks dude." Dil replied.

"All right." She grabbed her purse and shut the door. She looked at Dil and smiled. Dil reached down and took her hand in his as he lead her to his car. Blake stood back and watched as he opened the door for her and everything. He felt his heart break in two as he watched Dil drive off with the girl he loved.

() Blake walked into his house and slammed the door shut. He didn't even notice Hunter, Shane, Dustin and Cam all sitting in the livingroom playing video games. Hunter paused the game and looked at his brother.

"Uh, hey." He said. Blake looked at him. Hunter took in his brother's expression. "I take it asking Tori didn't exactly work out." Blake narrowed his eyes.

"I don't know, why don't you ask 'Dil'." He seethed. Dustin looked at Shane.

"Dil.....Why does that name sound familiar?" He asked. Shane thought for a second and his eyes widened.

"Dil! That guy who we had Tori help that time at Storm Chargers." Shane said. Dustin stopped. He looked at Blake.

"Uh. So, wait, what happened?" Dustin asked.

"I went to Tori's place, ready to bare my soul, and he showed up for their date!" Blake yelled. He stormed away and went to his room. The four guys looked at one another.

"Bummer." Dustin muttered.

() Blake laid on his bed, staring at the ceiling. There was a knock on the door.

" Who is it?" He asked.

"It's me." Came Cam's voice. Blake sighed and sat up.

"Come in." Cam opened the door and walked into the room. He looked at Blake.

"You ok?" He asked. Blake gave him a look as if to say 'what do you think?' Cam sighed. "Sorry, stupid question." He said. The two had become somewhat close friends since the whole love spell incident. Perhaps trying to beat the stuffing out of one another whilst under a spell forms a certain bond between guys. Who knows. Cam, and well, everyone, knew how Blake felt about Tori. It was obvious in the way he looked at her whenever she walked into a room. The thing was, the love spell they had been under really affected Cam the most. But for Blake, all the spell did was let him be able to express his feelings. Tori was Cam's friend. Nothing else. Blake had been worried that Cam did have feelings for her, but Cam made it clear that Tori was just a friend in his eyes, nothing more. "This guy really got to you, huh?" Cam commented. Blake looked up and sighed.

"He was like a damn Cassanova." Blake said. "Shows up dressed nicely, flowers, tells her she looks beautiful, the works. Me, I stutter while just saying she looks nice." Cam cast a sympathedic look at his friend.

"Well, maybe it's just one date..I bet she doesn't even like him."

"Doubtful." Blake said. Cam looked at him.

"Why does it sound like you're giving up?" Cam asked. Blake stayed silent. "Hey, come on. You stayed with it all till the end when you and I where fighting over her. Don't tell me you're just going to throw in the towel just because there's a tiny obstacle."

"Cam, me getting a zit right before I go on a date with her is a tiny obstacle...Her going out with someone else, isn't." Blake sighed. Cam looked at him. He thought for a second and smirked as an idea struck him.

"Well, I guess if you're a chicken..." Cam said, his voice trailing off. Blake looked at him, raising an eyebrow.

"Excuse me?"

"Oh nothing." Cam said cooly. "Just that you're a big ole chicken who gives up when something comes in your way." Blake stood up.

"I do not." He said.

"Coulda fooled me." Blake glared at him. "But, I guess, maybe you're right. I mean, it looks like Dil has enough guts to ask out the girl he likes. Unlike some chickens I know."

"I am not a chicken." Blake said. "And I do have enough guts to ask out the girl I like."

"Really?" Cam asked. "Doesn't look like ya do."

"I do, and I'll prove it." Blake swore.

"Yeah yeah, sure sure." Cam said, waving his hand dissmisingly. "You talk the talk, but it looks like only Dil can walk the walk." Cam said, leaving the room. He walked back out to the living room smirking. The other three looked at him. Hunter was about to ask what happened when he saw Blake leave the house.

"Uh...What was that?" Dustin asked.

"Reverse pshycology." Cam boasted. "Works everytime."

() Dil parked by Tori's house. He looked at her.

"I had a really great time tonight." He said. Tori smiled.

"Me too." Dil looked into her eyes. He got closer to her. Tori looked at him.

"Uh.." She said, leaning away slightly. Dil stopped.

"Everything ok?" He asked. Tori paused. 'Don't do it.' Part of her yelled.

'Do it.' Another part of her yelled. Tori shook her head.

"Uh, yeah, everything's cool." She said. She leaned in and kissed him.

Blake stood by Tori's door, holding a small bunch of daises he had bought. He had seen them pull up and saw Dil lean in to kiss her. His heart stopped, and he nearly leaped for joy as he saw Tori shy away, that is, until he saw Tori lean in and kiss him.

Tori smiled at Dil as the kiss ended. She reached for the door.

"Call me later." She said as she walked out the car. Dil smiled.

"Absolutly." Tori stood on the sidewalk and watched him drive away. She bit her lip and turned around. She jumped when she saw Blake.

"Blake..Hey." She said. "Ya scared me." Blake looked at her coldly. She walked over to him. "Everything OK?" She asked. Blake tightened his jaw.

"Yeah..Everything's peachy." He replied. He thrust the daisies into her arms.

"Just wanted to tell you that I'm in love with you." He said. Tori's eyes widened. She opened her mouth to say something but Blake cut her off.

"That's what I meant when I said you should know the truth that day." He said. "I was afraid that telling you the truth would just result in someone getting hurt or something. Well, I was wrong...Someone got hurt before it was even said." And with that, he walked away. "Have fun with your boyfriend." He said bitterly over his shoulder.
