6 days later at breakfast
"how you feeling Alexis" says Tori as Alexis, Quinn and Robbie pop over for breakfast before class
"really good, Robbie slipped yesterday but he apologized for it soooo" says Alexis
"what did he say" asks Tori intrigued
"he joked about my crazy height, I smacked him and he apologized" says Alexis
"I was out of line, she's sensitive about her height and I shouldn't have joked about it" says Robbie
"you learned that from me huh, you just can't seem to not insult people as a joke" says Jade
"unfortunately it's part of who I am" says Robbie
"hey but it makes you special" says Jade
"you really joking there Jade" asks Robbie
"I rarely joke" says Jade seriously
"it's true Robbie she's a very serious person, except when it comes to me then she's all jokes" says Tori
"your skin is so rough, you like it that way don't you babe" says Jade as she smirks
"I know she's a serious person Tori, her and I dated for two years, she's never called me special before, like ever" says Robbie
"I didn't say I wasn't joking Robbie, I can't believe Zoey and Nicole are still asleep" says Jade
"we did work them over last night in bed, we can be very exhausting people Jadey" says Cat as she pours herself a bowl of cereal
"that's very true, cuffs and everything, it's odd how adventurous they are" says Tori
"you guys use cuffs in bed, that's creepy" says Alexis
"we're adventurous geez, you make it sound like we're forcing them to stay in them, they're quick release, really easy to get out of" says Jade as Zoey walks out in her jammies
"oh good company and I'm wearing my ripped jammies, awesome, please keep your eyes off me please" says Zoey as Nicole walks out
"ooh company, what day is it again" says Nicole
"Friday Niccy, anyway Tori how are your eyes" says Cat
"I haven't been up long enough to tell but yesterday I was up near eight hours, yesterday was six, the day before that was down at four, it's on an upward trend now so I'm hopeful it continues" says Tori
"ya they did say it would probably fluctuate a bit as it returns to normal, I'll update them on your progress so they can give me an estimate" says Lola as she heads back up the ladder
during school 2 hours later
"Jade I'm hrony" says Tori
"mhm give me a minute to finish my math homework, you're hrony a lot lately" says Jade
"I mean you guys walk around half naked, how could I not be" says Tori licking her lips
"hey its actually kinda comfortable, we bought more comfortable panties and bras so why not be comfortable" says Jade removing her blanket
"God your skin is amazing" says Tori running her fingers along Jade's back and Jade shivers
"ooh stop that I'm ticklish, I like that Zoe and Niccy spend time alone together" says Jade as she finishes her homework and turns to Tori
"balance Jade, it's all about balance, if we forced them to stay naked with us only in bed and stopped them from being cute with each other then we only hurt them, and that's the last thing I want to do" says Tori as she cuddles Jade
"ooh you're warm, and ya balance is good" says Jade
At school
"God math is hard" says Dana
"I can help you" says Alexis
"huh" questions Dana
"oh do you not need help" says Alexis nervously
"oh no I do but I'm just not used to someone a grade lower than me in a class I'm part of" says Dana
"it was my teachers idea, she said I was doing better than any student in my class, and AP classes were full, I'll admit this class is hard even for me but not impossible and I love a challenge, I can always come by after school and help you" says Alexis
"could you really help me, even Lola struggles in this class" says Dana
"what's the hard part, the basics or the equations" asks Alexis
"uhhh the latter" says Dana
After school
"ok so you see this triangle, you see how it's missing one measurement" says Alexis
"ya the example in class had the long side and the area missing" says Dana
"we'll get there, so anyway what's the easiest way to measure this triangles longest side" says Alexis
"pi's theory of course" says Dana
"ok yes but let's think about it like a phone number, one part is useless without the other two parts, so given the numbers on this example what's the most likely number for the long side" says Alexis
"one hundred" says Dana confidently
"explain" asks Alexis
"well one side is six units long and the other is eight units long so you square them both and add them together right" says Dana
"yes which means the non square number for side c is what" asks Alexis
"ten" asks Dana nervously
"exactly, you're catching on" says Alexis
"yay" exclaims Dana excitedly
"what part got through to you" asks Alexis
"if I'm being honest the whole phone number thing, it showed me how things worked, it totally made sense to me" says Dana
"ya it was a long shot but still, I'm glad it worked" says Alexis as Lola walks over
"what's happening" asks Lola
"Alexis here just solved my math issue" says Dana
"how" asks Lola
"she said pi's theory was like a phone number or something" says Dana
"the ideas are quite similar yes, it's amazing that I've never thought about it like that before, and it really helped" asks Lola intrigued
"yeah, see this triangle here, what's side c's length" says Dana holding up the paper
"ten, it's easy" says Lola
"see my first answer was twelve, my next was nine, once she gave me the phone number analogy I got it right away, I've never gotten the answer right that quick" says Dana
"how about this one the square of a is sixteen, the square of b is ten, and the square of c is twenty-five point nine, what are the original numbers" asks Lola as Dana tries to figure it out
"a is four, b is three point one six and c is five point zero nine" says Dana
"ok wow that's right, how did you do that, it took me two minutes to figure that out" says Lola shocked
"it's all thanks to Alexis" says Dana
With Tori
"wow my eyes haven't stopped the color yet, it's been nearly eight hours, it should stop soon" says Tori
"you don't sound hopeful" says Cat
"I'm plenty hopeful, you know full well I get this way when there is an increase" says Tori as Jade walks over
"bikini time Tori" says Jade
"ooh ok" says Tori
4 hours later
"ok my color is still here, which makes twelve hours, this can't be real, it just can't be" says Tori as Zoey walks in
"Lola wants to know if you still got color baby" asks Zoey as she comes to cuddle Tori
"ya I still got color and its confusing me, I mean it's not as distracting now but still, I'm not sure I'll be able to get back in class at all, sounds come and go, it's like my senses are all out of wack" says Tori shivering at the warmth of Zoey's body
"you cold" asks Zoey
"ya a bit, like I said my senses are all out of wack, I was hot most of the day so we had the a/c on all day, now I'm so freaking cold" says Tori as everyone comes to cuddle Tori
"she cold again" asks Jade as they cuddle around Tori
"ya she said she's really cold" says Zoey
"ya her body is going a bit nuts, Lola said it's normal, she might actually get a full day unfortunately it's time for the blindfold nakedness" says Jade as everyone strips down to panties and bras
"you know I love this right guys, even when I feel down you guys are always here to make me feel better, I don't know what I did to deserve your guys' love" says Tori as she puts on the blindfold
"you exist, love is love, you're compassionate and caring, not to mention irresistible, plus your eyes are captivating" says Nicole
"you can't see my eyes right now niccy" says Tori
"we don't need to darling, it's burned in our minds how beautiful they are, when I first saw you I could already tell I was getting turned on, I hadn't even talked to you yet and I was already captivated" says Zoey
"really, but you had Nicole already" says Tori confused
"the heart wants what it wants Victoria, there is little use in denying it, besides I felt the same way, once we realized we both wanted you nobody was gonna stop us from trying, not everyone believes polyamorous relationships are ok, we were afraid that you didn't believe it was ok" says Nicole
"while it's true not everyone believes polyamorous relationships are ok, I'm probably one of the most open minded teens in the world" says Tori as Gold by Tori Vega plays on the radio
"wait isn't that you, how the hell did you get radio time" asks Zoey shocked
"ya that's me, I didn't, my dad did, it's for a fundraiser, every local non corporate radio station that plays it gets ten grand every time it's played, it's an effort to save local radio stations, there is an attempted buyout of local community funded radio stations by a Japanese company, so a bunch of layers, my dad included got together to help build a wall so the stations don't fall to the as my dad calls it poison water" says Tori
"wait a Japanese company is trying to buy out local Cali radio stations" asks Jade
"yeah, and the lawyers aren't confident that the courts will take action soon enough so they're taking action themselves, especially because its not one company buying out another, it's one company buying out a bunch of smaller businesses which always seemed a little sketchy to me" says Tori
"ya it is, Japan shouldn't have a say in what Cali listens to as long as it's not rasist towards them" says Nicole
"ya I mean I filled a grievance against the company but I don't expect it to go anywhere, and even if it does I don't expect to win, what that company is doing is bullying the small radio stations into caving to their requests and I won't stand for it" says Tori nostrils flaring
"you were bullied weren't you" asks Zoey
"ya a lot, by almost any boy I tried to be friends with, Robbie is the one of the only ones to stand by me, and even then he's scared to death of me" says Tori upset
"why is Robbie so scared of you" asks Zoey
"because I stand up for what's right and he often makes mistakes, he knows I won't or err wouldn't hesitate to rough him up if he cheated on someone or kissed someone he shouldn't have, that's whether he dated a boy or girl, you do someone wrong and I'm right there to kick butt back into line" says Tori
"you're a hardline anti bully type person, how can you justify scaring people like that" asks Jade
"it's better they be scared to break someone's heart or trust than to feel like they don't have to worry about consequences, besides a little fear is healthy, if you don't have fear then you're more than likely to do illegal/harmful stuff and put people at risk, my dad always said a little fear is good, but too much is bad, the same could be said for confidence, you get too much and you get cocky, the important thing is balancing fear and confidence" says Tori
