I let a breath escape my lips as I look upon the classroom in front of me. The usual sounds of Sikowitz float through the air as he begins teaching some kind of acting lesson. But to be honest, I wasn't really paying attention. It wasn't really important.
The only thing that was on my mind was what happened within the last fifteen minutes. Apparently before this whole bodyswap mindfuck Lane asked the girls to take part in a dating auction. And of course, Tori being the willing participant told him that she would be happy to help. I couldn't help but look at Tori as I thought about that. And seeing her, her eyes looking back at me, I couldn't get mad at her. This wasn't her fault, and she was just being her usual helpful self. An aspect of her that I can't help but admire. She always was willing to lend a hand, and this proved no different.
I shook my head, and let out a sigh. My fingers begin to roll a pencil back and forth as I try to make time go by. Hoping that somehow time would speed up, and we could get out of this mundane timekiller.
"Alright, my little bedbugs…" A voice said out of nowhere. "Today, we're…" After a momentary pause,
"Are we keeping you awake, Tori?"
When nothing was said, I heard another voice. "Tori. Sikowitz is talking to you."
When I heard that, I looked up. Only because ever since this 'Freaky Friday' crap happened, I tuned my ears to listen specifically anyone who was using the 'Robbie Shapiro' voice. I couldn't help but groan when I got the sudden memory of Jade impersonating Robbie's voice that time. From a person who always makes fun of Tori's voice, she can really nail down Robbie's voice too.
"Tori…"
This time I did look up. I first noticed Tori gesturing to Sikowitz with her head and then I looked at my teacher. "Sorry, Sikowitz. Rough night…"
"I see…" He said slowly. "Anyway, today we're going to learn about stage kissing."
"Stage kissing…" Tori said slowly. I looked at her, and I can tell something in her mind was going crazy.
"Yes stage kissing." Sikowitz clarified. "We're going to take two students. And learn through experience." He grinned. "So… Tori…" My throat went dry.
"… and…" He looked over the class. "Andre… c'mon on up."
"No problem." Andre said, with ease. He got to his feet and made his way to the front of the class.
"Um… you mind picking someone else." I told him, hoping I could get out of this. I was in no way going to kiss Andre. Don't get me wrong. He's my best bro, but I don't want his lips on mine.
Sikowitz looked at me, "Don't be such a baby, Tori. It's a stage kiss. As in not real."
I shook my head. "I can't…." Shaking my head again, I repeated. "I'm sorry. I can't."
"Ah, c'mon, Tori. I don't kiss that bad." Andre told me, trying to get me up there.
"I… I can't…" Getting to my feet, I backed closer to the door. "I'm sorry. I can't." I then squeaked and ran out of the room.
Making my way out of the room, I ran down the hall. I couldn't be here. There was no way I was going to kiss Andre. I'm not going to kiss a guy. No matter how much of a friend Andre is, I'm not going to kiss him.
I slow down as I get to my locker and quickly locked in the combination. Opening the door, I shove my head inside and let out a much needed breath. Then slammed my head on my books, closing my eyes, trying my best to drown out the thoughts of what just happened.
It wasn't another few minutes of complete silence until I heard a familiar voice. "You alright?"
I pulled my head out of my locker and looked at the one person who knew just how chizzed up this week has been so far.
"I'm not going back in there, Tori."
She gave me a look, "Aren't you a little bit overacting?"
"Overeract? Overeact? If anything, I'm under-reacting." I tell her. Shaking my head, "I had enough of this Tori. I'm done. I'm supposed to be going on a date auction tonight? And now I got to kiss Andre! Tori, it's me. This is got to be the worse situation I've ever been in."
"Robbie, it's alright." Tori told me. "I know this is allot to taken in, and I don't blame you for being wonked out by this, but it's only a kiss. You just have to lean in and kiss him. Then it will be over."
"Right. For a guy kissing a guy. But this is a guy kissing a guy who's in a hot girl's body. He's going to take his hands and do things. Very touchy things, and I don't like getting all touchy feely with Andre."
She reasoned, "It's all in your head, Robbie. Andre will just lean in, and kiss you."
I closed my locker and turned back to Tori. "This is not going to end well." Shaking my head, I added, "If Sikowitz wants me to add more 'passion' then I'm seriously going to want to hurl."
"Hey…" She said, her voice low. "I had to go on a 'date' with Jade, remember. I managed to pull out of that okay."
"Yeah, a 'date.'" I confirmed. "Not a moment when I'm kissing my best bud." I shivered slightly.
Tori leaned in and grasped my hands. "It's going to be alright, Robbie. I'll help you through this."
Giving her a strange look, I asked, "Just how are you going to do that?!"
Tori smiled and took her hands, caressing my cheeks, and kissed me. She pulled back a moment. "By giving something else to focus on. Just keep thinking about the kiss, and then your 'kiss' with Andre won't be so bad."
I looked at her, shocked by her actions. Tori grasped my hand loosely and said to me, "Now, just come back to class with me, and do the kiss, and then we'll worry about tonight later."
I just nodded slowly, still shocked by Tori's actions as she led me to back to the classroom.
