Where's Johnny?

It was early the next morning and all that was heard outside the Brooke's residence as the screeching of tires and the frantic cries of Kim. She stopped when Dustin stroked her head and then he zipped down the road.

Brooke stood, waiting for the bus to open up and let them on; they were already ten minutes off schedule due to a councilor who couldn't get into his car. Brooke personally had found it funny but no one else was laughing. The doors to the bus finally opened and just as she was about to step on, Dustin called her name and ran towards her.

"Come on." He said.

"Where?" She asked.

"Home, come on." Dustin grabbed her hand.

"I'm kind of leaving." Brooke replied, confused.

"No, there's an emergency, Tori's...burnt." Dustin threw out at her.

"Okay, let's go."

Tori was in fact not burnt but he was sleeping. Sleeping on the floor seeing as had fallen off the bed a few minutes earlier and didn't feel like standing up. It was only five and she was quite tired in fact. She decided to get up and completely sit on Hunter when she flopped down.

"It wasn't me." She lied.

"Mihasknf."

She laughed at his use of words. They weren't English or French or anything at all. She closed her eyes and went back to sleep and the phone rang a couple hours later.

"Hello?" She whined.

"Hey Tor, uh, are you guys busy today?" Dustin asked.

"Hold on...Hey buddy, you working today? No? Okay...No, why?"

"Can you meet me in the park at noon?"

"Picnic?"

"Yeah, bring Shane too and Katie."

"Okay, park noon. See you later." Tori replied and hung up.

"Who was that?" Hunter asked.

"Guess you'll find out at noon." Tori replied.

He pushed her a bit and she fell off the bed. She burst out laughing and stood back up.

Dustin stood in the park at noon with Brooke and Kim in the car, waiting for someone out of the ordinary. She climbed out of the car when the other four pulled up. She ran over to the car and leaped at Tori when she opened her door.

"I thought you were-"

"Dustin came and got me this morning." Brooke smiled.

"Early morning?" Shane asked and patted Dustin on the back.

"How early?" Hunter questioned.

"Four, five between there." Dustin answered with a yawn.

"Hey, I was up then too." Tori laughed.

"No comment." Hunter added.

"Yeah so, I have to go to bathroom." Dustin announced.

"Me too." Shane added.

"You probably want to have a girls minute so I'll pretend I have to." Hunter joked.

"Yeah thanks." Tori replied sarcastically.

The three guys walked away towards the concession booth and disappeared behind the wall. Brooke carried Kim over to a bench and Tori followed suit. She sat on the table and Brooke sat on the bench part. They were going to talk about girl stuff but before either one could get a word, a few other girls walked past.

"Hey look, it's Blake's cheater." One snarled.

"Not good enough for you?" A second added.

"Tor, ignore them." Brooke whispered, sensing her uneasiness. "Hey, got a hold of yourself."

"Come on, don't like to roughed up?" The first one added one again.

"I'll show you roughed up." Tori muttered and turned around.

"Where's you ex's brother, he not good enough either?" The first one started it again.

"Hey, wait!" Brooke yelled. "TOR!"

Tori stormed over to them and stared the first girl in the eye. She stared back then sucker-punched Tori. She reached up and slapped the girls face, causing her to stumble backwards. She threw another punch then grabbed her shoulders and tried to force her down. Tori succeeded and the first girl was on the ground on her back. She darted upright and stood up. She threw a punch at Tori and gave he a bloody lip.

"He's not around to save you now is he?" She taunted.

Tori threw everything she had at the girl and she ended up sitting on her beating on her face. She was pulled backwards and she growled at Shane and Hunter. Dustin stood in front of the other girl and helped her up. Dustin apologized and the girl accepted.

"Oh look, he came." She laughed as the two girls walked away.

"What was that about?" Shane asked.

Tori fidgeted with her bleeding lip. She pushed on it and wiped the blood on her shirt.

"Yeah, should I know something?" Hunter asked.

Tori just stared at the empty path.

"She was bagging on you." Brooke answered.

"Me?" Hunter asked.

"I could've had her." Tori blurted out. "Why can't men take as long in the bathroom as we do?"

"Said something like uh, wait to cheat with his brother and stuff." Brooke ran towards Tori with a paper towel and dabbed at her lip.

"Who was that?" Shane asked.

"How should I know?" Tori retorted.

"You were beating up some girl you don't even know for him?" Shane questioned.

"Something wrong with that?" She asked with a glare. "You're next."

"I'm sorry." Shane mumbled.

Brooke was still fixing up her lip and she hit it in the wrong place and in return received a whimper.

"Maybe we should go." Hunter suggested.
