(The Vega family are eating dinner together)

David- So girls how was school?

Trina- I had my solo today in voice class.

Holly- How did you do?

Trina- I kicked ass naturally. My teacher says I have real potential.

David- That's our little superstar.

Tori- I got a B on my science test today.

Holly- Oh, that's nice Tori.

Trina- The school musical is coming up soon. Rumor has it we're doing Heathers. I hope so because I would be the perfect Veronica.

David- I'm sure you would Trina.

Trina- Did I tell you about the Big Showcase this year?

Tori- I'm thinking about joining the girl's tennis team at school.

Holly- I'm sorry Tori. What was that?

Tori- Oh it's not important. Just forget about it.

Holly- What were you saying Trina?

Trina- I got paired up with a sophomore for the Big Showcase, Andrew something. That reminds me I wanted to buy a new dress after dinner for my performance. Dad, can I use your credit card?

David- Of course Trina. I want you to look nice for your big performance.

(David hands Trina his credit card)

Trina-Thanks daddy. I almost forgot this Andrew boy is coming over tomorrow to figure out what we're doing so I need you to stay out of the house.

David- That won't problem Trina. I'm working late tomorrow night anyway.

Holly- And I have my cooking class tomorrow night so that should work out.

Tori- Don't worry Trina I'll make sure to stay out of your way.

Trina- You do that.

(The next night Trina is applying her makeup in the bathroom)

(Holly passes by the door)

Holly- Trina I'm going out now. Ink be later tonight.

Trina- Ok.

(Holly exits)

(Tori passed by and Trina turns to her)

Trina- Andrew's going to be here soon and I don't want any distractions so just stay in your room and keep quiet. Got that?

Tori- I'll just be in my room studying.

Trina- I can't emphasize how important the Big Showcase is. There are going to be agents and talent scouts and so many important people in Hollywood there.

Tori- I know, I know.

Trina- I need to be perfect. So just leave us alone.

(At the police station David at his desk filing paperwork)

Gary- I gotta get home good night Dave.

David- Good night Gary.

(Gary exits the police station and sits in his apartment)

(A knock is heard and he answers to reveal Holly standing there)

Gary- There you are.

(The two start kissing each other)

Gary- Doss Dave still think you've been taking cooking classes?

Holly- Don't worry he doesn't suspect a thing.

Gary- If he knew his partner and his wife were-

Holly- Let's not talk about this. Let's just make this quick.

(Holly pushes Gary onto his bed and both beginning to unbutton their shirts as they kiss)

(At Tori's house a knock is heard and Trina answers to reveal Andre)

Trina- You're late!

Andre- I'm sorry I-

Trina- Forget it. Let's just discuss what we're doing for the Big Showcase. I know I want to sing.

Andre- That's cool. I have a couple of new songs I've been working on. Maybe you can perform one of them.

Trina- Whatever.

Andre- I brought my keyboard.

(Andre begins playing a song on his keyboard)

Trina- You don't have to be afraid to put your dream in action, you're never going to fade, you'll be the main attraction. (sung)

(Tori peers from behind a corner listening)

Trina- Tori I told you to stay in your room!

Tori- I'm sorry I just wanted to hear that song. I liked it.

Andre- Thanks.

Trina- This is my little sister, Tori, Tori this is Andrew.

Andre- It's Andre.

Trina- Whatever. Just get out of here.

Andre- No let her stay. She won't bother me. It may be good for us to practice with an audience.

Trina- Fine stay and watch us but be quiet.

(Tori sits while Andre begins playing again and Trina sings)

Andre- I really need to get home. It's already ten o'clock.

Trina- Fine, but we are going to have to work until we get this right. Got that?

Tori- I'll walk you out.

(Tori walks with Andre to the driveway)

Tori- Listen I'm sorry about my sister. I know how she can be. Trust me I live with her.

Andre- Don't soured about it.

Tori- I never heard that song before. Did you write it?

Andre- Sure did. I've been playing music since I was seven.

Tori- Incredible.

Andre- Do you go to Hollywood Arts too?

Tori- Oh no. I don't perform. My sister is the talented one. I'm just me.

Andre- Don't be so modest. I think just you is a nice girl.

Tori- Thanks. .

Andre- I hope you're coming to the Big Showcase.

Tori- Of course. I'm looking forward to hearing your song. I'm sure your parents will like it.

(Andre goes silent for a moment)

Tori- Is something wrong?

Andre- No. It's just my parents aren't coming to the Big Showcase.

Tori- Why not?

Andre- They can't. When I was little they get into this accident and I-

Tori- I'm gosh I am so sorry. I didn't know.

Andre- It's fine. You didn't know. My grandma will be there. She took care of me after I lost my parents. Now I take care of her. She's just been so confused and not herself lately. It breaks my heart seeing her this way. She's become so terrified of everything she never leaves the house, but she's coming to the Big Showcase just to see me.

Tori- I'm sorry to hear all that. I'm sure she'll enjoy your performance

Andre- Thanks. I look forward to seeing you there.

Tori- You too.

(At the Big Showcase Tori is entering with her parents)

David- So how's your cooking class been going?

Holly- My cooking class? Oh fine, fine.

David- What have you learned how to cook so far?

Holly- Oh, nothing much.

David- Ok then.

(The three sit down)

(Tori notices Andre helping his grandma to her seat and approaches them)

Tori- Hey Andre. This must be your grandma.

Andre- Yeah. This is my friend, Tori. Say hi grandma.

(Andre's grandma slowly waves at Tori)

Andre- Don't mind her, she's just shy.

Tori- I can't wait to see you and Trina perform. You've sounded great in rehearsal. Good luck.

Andre- Thanks, but you're not supposed to say good luck to a performer. You're supposed to say break a leg.

Tori- Oh, well break a leg then.

Andre- Thanks.

(Tori returns to her parents and watches the show)

(Robbie walks onto the stage with a ventriloquist dummy)

Robbie- Hi my name's Robbie and this is Rex. Say hi to the people Rex.

Rex- Yo. I see a lot of young honeys in the audience. I want to tap that ass.

Robbie- Rex, don't disrespect women like that.

Rex- Shut up you dick!

Robbie- That is just rude.

Rex- I don't know why I even hang out with you. I've had more action than you've had in your lifetime.

Robbie- That's enough!

(Robbie and Rex begin arguing)

(Montage of performances)

(Cat walks onto the stage)

Cat- Hi I'm Cat Valentine and I will be singing Break Free by Ariana Grande.

(Music starts)

Cat- If you want it, take it. I should have said it before. Tried to hide it, fake it. I can't pretend anymore. (sung)

(As Cat sings Mr. Eikner approaches David and Holly)

Holly- Mr. Eikner?

Mr. Eikner- Mr and Mrs. Vega there's been an incident.

David- What happened?

Mr. Eikner- You better come with me.

(Tori and her parents follow Mr. Eikner backstage where Trina and Andre are)

Holly- Trina is everything ok?

Trina- There's something wrong with my voice! I think I may have laryngitis! This can't be happening! Not now! (whisper)

David- Oh Trina.

Trina- I can't go on stage like this. What am I going to do? (whisper)

Mr. Eikner- Someone get her to the nurse.

(Two teenagers escort Trina away)

Andre- Well I guess I can't go on now. My grandma's going to be disappointed. She really wanted to see me perform tonight.

Mr. Eikner- Maybe we can find a replacement for Trina.

Andre- There's no one else who knows Trina's part. Except for her sister.

Tori- What?

Andre- You've seen us rehearse a thousand. You know the song and the choreography.

Tori- No I can't do it. I'm not a performer.

Andre- Tori please. I don't want to let my grandma down. Please do this for me.

Tori- Alright I'll do it.

Andre- Thank you!

(Sinjin enters)

Sinjin- Andre you're up next!

Andre- Are you ready?

Tori- Here goes nothing.

(Andre pulls Tori to the stage)

(Sinjin stands at the spotlight)

Sinjin- And spotlight!

(He shines it on Tori who stands there silent while Andre plays the music)

(She closes her eyes, takes a deep breath, and begins to sing)

Tori- Here I am, once again feeling lost but now and then I breathe it in to let it go and you don't know where you are now or what it would come to, if only somebody could hear. When you figure out how you're lost in the moment, you disappear. You don't have to be afraid to put your dream in action. You're never gonna fade, you'll be the main attraction. Not a fantasy, just remember me when it turns out right. Cause you know that if you live in your imagination tomorrow, you'll be everybody's fascination. In my victory, just remember me when I make it shine. (sung)

(The audience applauds for Tori)

(Tori and Andre walk off stage and Tori's parents hug her)

Tori- How bad was it?

Holly- What are you talking about? You did awesome.

David- I didn't know you could sing that good.

Tori- Neither did I.

Holly- Congratulations.

David- Looks like we have two talented daughters.

Andre- You did awesome.

Tori- Thanks. I'm sure your grandma liked it.

Mr. Eikner- Excuse me, would you come here for a moment.

(Tori approaches Mr. Eikner)

Mr. Eikner- What's your name?

Tori- Tori, Tori Vega. I'm Trina Vega's sister.

Mr. Eikner- Great performance you just gave.

Tori- Thank you.

Mr. Eikner- You don't attend Hollywood Arts?

Tori- Oh no. You see I just was filling in for my sister-

Mr. Eikner- How would you like to attend?

Tori- Excuse me?

Mr. Eikner- I believe you have true talent and potential and our school will help you reach that potential.

Tori- I appreciate the offer, but I can't go here.

Mr. Eikner- Why not?

Tori- I don't belong at a school like Hollywood Arts.

Andre- I think you do.

Mr. Eikner- Look you don't have to make the decision right now. Why don't you sleep on it and let me know in the morning.

(Mr. Eikner exits)

Andre- I don't understand. Why don't you want to go here?

Tori- I don't think I'm talented enough.

Andre- Mr. Eikner thinks you are and I think you are and everyone in the audience seems to think so.

Tori- It's just this school and performing has always been my sister's thing not mine and-

Andre- Forget about your sister. You're just as talented if not better as your sister. You deserve to shine. You can't let your fears stop you from expressing your talents. Please think about it.

(Andre walks away from Tori)

(Tori lays in bed tossing and turning thinking about her decision)

(Tori climbs downstairs where her family is eating breakfast)

Tori- Good morning. How are you feeling Trina?

Trina- My throat feels better, but my back is sore. Someone stabbed it there.

Tori- What are you talking about?

Trina- I saw a video on The Slap of you in the Big Showcase singing my song!

Tori- Look I didn't want to steal your act I was just doing a favor for Andre. His grandma came to see the show. I was waiting to tell you-

Trina- Whatever.

David- Let's just enjoy breakfast shall we.

Holly- Tori have you made a decision yet?

Trina- What decision?

Tori- Well last night after my performance Mr. Eikner offered me admission at Hollywood Arts. I told him I'd think about it.

Trina- You better not think about going.

Tori- Why not?

Trina- Hollywood Arts is my school. I don't want my little sister there.

Holly- Now Trina if Tori wants to go to Hollywood Arts it's her decision.

Trina- Tori trust me. Hollywood Arts is the most prestigious performing arts school in the state. It takes real persistence to make it there.

Tori- Are you saying I'm not cut out to go there?

Trina- All I'm saying is you should leave performing to the experts and stick to whatever you're suited for.

Tori- You're wrong. I can make it at Hollywood Arts. You'll see because I'm going.

Trina- Fine, let's see if you survive a single day there.

(Holly yells upstairs)

Holly- Girls are you ready?

(Tori and Trina come down the stairs)

Holly- First day at Hollywood Arts? Are you nervous?

Tori- A little.

Holly- Don't worry you'll have Trina there at least. Trina I want you to look out for your sister, ok? Help her get situated and show her around and introduce her to some people. Can you do that?

Trina- Sure mom. Let's go.

(Tori and Trina climb into Trina's car)

Trina- Ok it's bad enough I have to drive you so here are the rules. While we are at school you will not talk or socialize with me or make any contact with me at all. When we get there you're on your own and I am not your sister. Got that?

Tori- Fine.

(Tori and Trina drove off)

(The two pull up the school and enter)

Trina- This is where the two of us go our separate ways.

(Trina exits)

(Tori wanders the crowd in halls lost and confused)

Andre- Tori! I was hoping I'd see you here. Welcome to Hollywood Arts.

Tori- Thanks Andre. At least I have one friend so far.

Andre- Where's your sister? Shouldn't she be showing you around?

Tori- What sister?

Andre- Don't worry I'll help you. Come with me.

Tori- Where are we going?

Andre- To the Black Box Theater. They're going to make the announcement.

Tori- What announcement?

Andre- For the next school musical. Come on, we don't want to miss it.

(Tori follows Andre to the Black Box Theater where a crowd of kids are gathered)

Sikowitz- You all here? Good. It's that time again. I know you're all waiting to see what our new show will be and I won't keep you waiting. I am proud to announce that Hollywood Arts will be presenting Heathers the musical!

(The crowd reacts to the news)

Sikowitz- All right, all right, I know you're all excited. I will be holding auditions tomorrow after school. If you are interested, sign up here.

(Sikowitz posts a clipboard and exits while students line up to sign it)

(Trina signs her name on the list)

Trina- The part of Veronica is so mine.

Tori- So what's Heathers about?

Andre- It's a musical about a boy and a girl who murder their classmates and frame it as sucides.

Tori- Oh.

Andre- Are you going to audition?

Tori- Me? No. I couldn't.

Andre- Come on. I think you'd be great.

Tori- But I just got here.

Andre- This will be a great chance for you to meet some new people. Come on.

Tori- All right I'll do it.

(Tori signs her name on the sheet)

Andre- Have you ever been to Nozu?

Tori- I've heard of it but I've never been there. It's that sushi place right?

Andre- Yeah. I work there after school to help me and my grandma. A lot of people at Hollywood Arts hang out there. Why don't you stop by after school.

Tori- I think I will.

(Tori enters Nozu and sits at a counter)

(Andre and Beck approach Tori)

Andre- Hey Tori. This is Beck. He goes to Hollywood Arts too and works here with me. Beck, this is my friend Tori.

Beck- Hey.

Tori- Hey.

(Tori nervously smiles and waves at Beck)

(Jade and Cat enter and sit at the counter)

Jade- Who is this?

Beck- Jade this is Tori. Tori, this is my girlfriend, Jade, and her friend, Cat.

Tori- Hi nice to meet you.

Cat- Oh hey didn't you perform in the Big Showcase?

Tori- That was me.

Beck- Didn't you sing Andre's song? You were awesome.

Tori- Thank you.

Jade- I was in the show too. I performed a scene from The Scissoring.

Beck- And you too were excellent.

(Robbie approaches Cat)
Robbie- Hey Cat.

Cat- Oh hi Robbie.

Robbie- How are you?

Cat- Fine. Why do you ask? Did I do something? Do I not seem fine to you because I'm perfectly fine I promise.

Robbie- No, no, no, I was just curious.

Cat- Oh thank you.

Robbie- I'm going to go now.

Andre- Robbie can I talk to you.

(Andre pulls Robbie aside)

Andre- Why don't you ask Cat out already.

Robbie- I want to, but you know I can't talk to girls. Whenever I dry I clam up.

Andre- You better make your move before someone else does.

Tori- So are any of you guys doing Heathers.

Beck- I'm doing it. I'm hoping to get the part of J.D.

Jade- I want to be Heather Chandler. It's one of my dream roles.

Tori- Well good luck or break a leg to you both.

Jade- Whatever.

Beck- Are you auditioning?

Tori- I was planning on it. I've never been in a musical before though.

Beck- Don't worry it's a little scary the first time, but it's a great experience.

Tori- Thanks.

Jade- Can I please have some sushi?

Beck- Sure, your usual spicy tuna, with the boyfriend discount.

(Beck exits)

(Sikowitz is mediating)

Sikowitz- Now that I have achieved perfect tranquility we can begin auditions. When I call your name you will step on to the stage and sing me a short song. Got that?

(Tori stands on stage)

Tori- The demon queen of high school has decreed it. She says Monday eight AM I'll be deleted. (sung)

(Cut to Trina on stage)

Trina- She'll hunt me down in study hall. Stuff and mount me on the wall. Thirty hours to live how shall I spend them? (sung)

(Cut to Jade on stage)

Jade- I don't have to stay and die like cattle. I could change my name and ride up to Seattle, but I don't own a motorbike. Wait, here's an option that I like: spend these thirty hours getting freaky. (sung)

Tori- I need it hard, I'm a dead girl walking. (sung)

Trina- I'm in your yard I'm a dead girl walking. (sung)

Jade- Before they punch my clock. (sung)

Tori- I'm snapping off your window lock. (sung)

Trina- Got no time to knock. (sung)

Jade- I'm a dead girl walking. (sung)

Sikowitz- Great job everyone. I will be posting the cast list as soon as possible. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go outside and get in touch with my vibes.

(Sikowitz pulls out a joint and exits)

Tori- Great audition sis.

Trina- Thanks, but remember you're new here so don't get too disappointed if you don't get in the show.

Tori- I'll keep that in mind.

(Tori and Andre are walking down the hall)

Andre- So how do you think your audition went the other day?

Tori- I think I did well. I'm not sure if I was great or anything-

(Sinjin enters)

Sinjin- Hey everyone Sikowitz is posting the Heathers cast list!

(A crowd watches Sikowtiz who tacts a piece of a paper to the wall)

(The crowd swarms around the cast list)

Jade- I got Heather Chandler!

Beck- Cool I got J.D.

(Trina fights against the crowd until she reaches the cast list)

Trina- What the hell!

Tori- What's going on?

Trina- I'm not Veronica!

Andre- Then who is?

(Tori approaches the cast list and reads it)

Tori- Me.

Trina- I cannot believe my little sister got cast in the starring role and I am playing the understudy!

Tori- Listen Trina I'm sorry about this. Trust me I didn't mean to take the part from you.

Trina- If you're really sorry then drop out of the show and let me play Veronica.

Tori- Are you seriously asking me to quit the play?

Trina- We both know I should be Veronica.

Tori- You know what no! I'm not dropping out! I auditioned and I got the part and I'm sorry that upsets you, but I'm not quitting.

Trina- I knew you'd make trouble for me here. I wish you never came to this school!

(Trina storms off)

Tori- Trina is really mad at me now. Maybe I should let her play Veronica.

Andre- No. It's not your fault you were chosen over her. You should be proud you got the part and you shouldn't let your sister ruin it for you.

Tori- You're right. I really want to play this role and I'm not going to let what Trina says bother me.

Andre- Atta girl.

(Beck and Jade approach Tori)

Beck- Hey Tori congratulations on getting the part of Veronica.

Tori- Thanks. Congratulations on getting the part of J.D.

Beck- We should practice our lines together sometime.

Tori- Good idea. Maybe I could come over to your place.

Beck- Actually would it be ok if I came over to your place instead?

Tori- Why?

Beck- I would just rather come over to your place if you don't mind.

Tori- Sure that sounds good.

(Beck exits)

Jade- Just remember new girl you and Beck might be playing opposite of each other, but he is my boyfriend understand? You just back off.

Tori- Ok.

Jade- I mean it. I'm watching you.

(Jade exits)

(Beck enters his RV home and flops down on the bed)

(Beck's pear phone rings and he answers)

Beck- Hey Jade. Sure you can come over.

(Beck and Jade are lying together in bed both naked under the sheets)

Beck- You ok? What's wrong?

Jade- I was just thinking about that Tori girl.

Beck- Tori? We're just friends.

Jade- I'm not sure if I trust her. I think she might be into you.

Beck- Come on Jade you say that about every girl. Why can't you just trust me?

Jade- I trust you, it's all the other girls I don't trust. I don't know how I feel about you and Tori playing romantic leads.

Beck- Come one it's just acting. I've done it before. Jade, you know I love you.

Jade- I know.

Beck- You're the only one that's been there for me.

Jade- Well I don't have the best relationship with my parents either. They don't understand me at all. My dad doesn't support my passions and mom criticizes everything I do.

Beck- At least your mom is still alive.

Jade- I know.

Beck- My dad was never the same after my mom died. I don't think I can ever go back home. I never want to see that drunken asshole again.

Jade- It's ok, it's ok.

(Beck begins to sob while Jade comforts him)

Beck- Thanks for not telling anyone at school that I live in an RV.

Jade- You know I wouldn't tell anyone. But I don't want you to be ashamed. It took a lot of courage to leave your dad's place like that.

Beck- Thanks. I'm glad I have you.

Jade- Me too.

(The two start kissing)

(The Vega family is eating dinner)

Holly- So Tori how are rehearsals going for Heathers?

Tori- Great, thanks for asking.

(Trina angrily stares at Tori)

Holly- Well I have my cooking class again tonight, so I'll be out.

David- And I have my drug bust tonight, so you girls will be on your own.

Trina- Actually I'm going out tonight.

Tori- Beck was going to come over and we were going practice together for the show.

Holly- Well you two have a great time then.

(Holly exits the house and makes a call on her pear phone)

Holly- Hey Gary it's me. I'll meet you later tonight.

(Holly exits)

Tori- Trina.

(Trina ignores Tori and walks away)

Tori- Trina, Trina! Please say something to me! This has gone on long enough! You haven't talked to me in days! When are you going to get over this?

Trina- You want me to say something fine! I was at Hollywood Arts before you came! It was my place! My territory until you came along and just had to show me up.

Tori- I get what this is about. You're jealous! You just can't stand that someone else is in the spotlight instead of you!

Trina- What are you saying?

Tori- My whole life it's all been about Trina. Trina this Trina that! It's always been about Trina's play or Trina's recital. You've always been the star of the family while I've been treated second to you! Well now it's my turn! It's my time to be in the spotlight for once! It's time I got the attention I deserved! I don't want to be Trian's sister anymore, I want to be Tori!

Trina- That's it I'm out of here. I don't even want to be in the same house as you right now.

(Trina opens the door to see Beck there)

Beck- Hi, is Tori home?

Trina- Tori it's for you!

(Trina storms out of the house)

Tori- Sorry about that. That was just my sister Trina.

Beck- No problem. Ready to rehearse?

Tori- Sure make yourself comfortable.

(Beck and Tori sit on the couch)

Beck- So how do you like it at Hollywood Arts so far?

Tori- It's fine for the most part.

Beck- What do you mean?

Tori- It's nothing.

Beck- Come on, tell me.

Tori- Well it's Jade. I don't think she likes me very much.

Beck- Don't take it personally. She always gets paranoid with me and other girls. She wasn't really too happy with us playing boyfriend and girlfriend in this show.

Tori- I get it.

Beck- I know Jade can seem intimidating, but deep down she really is a sweet girl.

Tori- How long have you been together?

Beck- About a year or so. We really bonded when we were both in Rent together. I played Roger and she was Mimi.

Tori- That's nice. She must be something special.

Beck- She is. I just wish she'd trust me more. I don't know why she thinks I'm interested in anyone else. I'm sorry. It's just it can be frustrating with her sometimes. You know what I mean.

Tori- I guess. I've only had one boyfriend. He goes to my old school. His name was Danny, but I had to break things off with me.

Beck- Why?

Tori- It's a long story. Why don't we get to rehearsing.

Beck- Good idea. Should we practice Seventeen?

Tori- Good idea.

Beck- I got the music on my pear phone.

(Beck pulls out his pear phone and plays music)

Tori- Fine we're damaged, really damaged, but that does not make us wise. We're not special, we're not different, we don't choose who lives or dies. Let's be normal, see bad movies. Sneak a beer and watch TV. We'll bake brownies or go bowling don't you want a life with me? Can't we be seventeen? That's all I want to do. If you could let me in I could be good with you. People hurt us. (sung)

Beck- Or they vanish? (sung)

Tori- And you're right that really blows, but we let go. (sung)

Beck- Take a deep breath. (sung)

Tori- And go buy some summer clothes. We'll go camping. (sung)

Beck- Play some poker. (sung)

Tori- And we'll eat some chili fries. Maybe prom night. (sung)

Beck- Maybe dancing. (sung)

Tori- Don't stop looking in my eyes. (sung)

Beck- Your eyes. (sung)

Tori and Beck- Can't we be seventeen. If we still got the right. (sung)

Tori- So what's it gonna be? I wanna be with. (sung)

Beck- I wanna be with you. (sung)

Tori- Wanna be with you. (sung)

Tori and Beck- Tonight. (sung)

Tori- Yeah we're damaged. (sung)

Beck- Badly damaged. (sung)

Tori and Beck- But your love's too good to lose. (sung)

Tori- Hold me together. (sung)

Beck- Even closer. (sung)

Tori- I'll stay if I'm what you choose. (sung)

Beck- Can we be seventeen? (sung)

Tori- If I am what you choose. (sung)

Beck- If we've still got the right. (sung)

Tori- Cause you're the one I choose. (sung)

Beck- You're the one I choose. (sung)

Tori and Beck- You're the one I choose. (sung)

(Tori and Beck lean towards each other and kiss)

Beck- I, I have to go.

(Beck runs out of the house)

(Tori and Andre are walking down the hall)

Andre- Tori are you ok?

Tori- Sure why do you ask that?

Andre- You haven't said much today. Is something wrong?

Tori- Of course not.

Andre- Oh there's Beck.

Beck- Hey Tori.

Tori- Hey.

Andre- Ok I'm just going to go now.

(Andre exits)

Tori- Hey listen about last night-

Beck- You're right that was just-

Tori- I think we just got caught up in the moment with the scene and the song and everything.

Beck- Look I shouldn't have kissed you.

Tori- I shouldn't have let you.

Beck- That can never happen again.

Tori- Agreed.

Beck- I love Jade and I can't do that to her. I can't believe I did that.

Tori- It's ok, I'm guilty too.

Beck- Maybe we just shouldn't tell Jade about this.

Tori- Good idea.

Beck- Let's just pretend it never happened.

Tori- Yeah, good idea.

Beck- I'll see you later.

Tori- You too.

(The two exit while Cat appears from behind the wall having heard everything)

Robbie- Hey Cat. How's it going?

Cat- I'm sorry I can't talk right now.

(Cat exits)

Andre- You really need to tell her how you feel.

Robbie- What about you?

Andre- Excuse me?

Robbie- I know you have feelings for Tori.

Andre- I don't like that that way. I just like her as a friend.

Robbie- Oh come on I see the way you look at her. You're totally into her.

Andre- No I'm not.

Robbie- Whatever you say.

Jade- Hey Cat how are you?

Cat- Oh hey Jade.

Jade- What's the matter?

Cat- What do you mean?

Jade- Why won't you look at me?

Cat- No reason.

Jade- Cat look at me.

(Jade turns Cat's face towards herself)

Jade- What's going on?

Cat- I sort of found out something and I don't know if I should say it or not.

Jade- Is this about me?

Cat- Maybe.

Jade- Cat tell me!

Cat- I can't.

Jade- Cat I'm your best friend. Whatever it is, tell me.

Cat- You're not going to like it.

Jade- Tell me.

Cat- Ok, well I was listening to Tori and Beck in the hall.

Jade- What did they say?

Cat- Well-

Jade- What did they say?

Cat- Tori and Beck kissed.

Jade- What?

Cat- I'm sorry-

Jade- That bitch! I know I couldn't trust her. She is dead. She is so dead. Just wait until I get my hands on her!

(Jade storms through the halls where she runs into Trina)

Jade- Oh hey.

Trina- What do you want?

Jade- Ok listen I know you're upset that Tori got cast as Veronica instead of you.

Trina- So what?

Jade- I think you and I can help each other.

Trina- What are you saying?

Jade- I propose the two of us find a way to get back at Tori.

Trina- I don't know.

Jade- Come on, we both know she has it coming to her.

Trina- Ok I'm in.

Jade- Better watch out Tori Vega. You're a dead girl walking.
