Originally, this was going to be based on 'Who Did It To Trina?', but I couldn't really think of a way to make it a decent Jori. So, I went with 'Beggin' On Your Knees'. This one is going to be a lead onto more Jori moment of the fic so far. The next one will be the last of season two, as well as the last of the ones based on episodes. That is until I decide to do 'Tori & Jade's Playdate'. I won't do too much more other episodes, but the ones from season four will be 'Cell Block', 'Three Girls And A Moose', and 'Tori Fixes Beck And Jade'. I have plans for all of them, with 'Three Girls And A Moose' and 'Tori Fixes Beck And Jade' being Jori relationship, no Bade or Tori/Moose or Jade/Moose, or anything else.
Sorry for the kinda long explanation for upcoming chapters.
Before you read this chapter, a reviewer pointed out that the last chapter was unfinished. I went back and added the rest, so those who read it first, before I added the rest of Tori and Andre in the closet, I recommend you go back and read it now. For those that have read it after I fixed it, continue on.
Also, since I have most of the season two chapters written, I'll be posting once or twice a week. I have one left to write, but I don't know if I will write it or not, so I'm leaving it up to you guys. Do you think I should write a chapter for 'Terror On Cupcake Street'?
Disclaimer: I don't own 'VicTORious' or any characters.
No POV
"I don't trust that Ryder guy." Jade says, leaning against the locker beside Tori's after the half-Latina told them about her dinner date at her house with the handsome boy a year older than them later that night.
"You don't like anything good happening to me." Tori says, closing her locker.
"Usually, I'd agree." Jade says, shrugging her shoulders. "But we're friends now, and I don't like him." She says, sipping her coffee.
"Aw, told you we were friends." Tori jokes, poking Jade's shoulder.
"Would you stop touching me?" Jade asks, pushing Tori away, a small smile on her face. "What are your plans for your 'date'?" She asks as Cat and Andre make their way over to them from the doors.
"Dinner and hang out, maybe watch a movie?" Tori asks, shrugging her shoulders.
"I kinda figured dinner when you said it was a dinner date." Jade says sarcastically. "I meant what are you eating?" She asks, knowing of Tori's not-so-good cooking skills.
"Spicy Tuna rolls." Tori says, glancing over Jade's shoulder. "I looked up the recipe earlier. Hey Cat, hey Andre." She says as the other two walk up to them.
"Hey Jade. Hey Tori." "Sup chicas?" Cat and Andre say, making their way to the Goth and half-Latina.
"Jade's being mean because I have a date and she doesn't like him." Tori says, smiling as Jade glares at her.
"Who is he?" Cat asks as Andre gives the two girls a curious glance.
"Ryder Daniels." Tori says, grabbing her phone.
"The senior?" Andre asks, this time sharing a confused look with Cat. "I don't know about him, Tori. I've heard he's dated a lot of girls, but it never lasts more than a couple of weeks." He tells his best friend as they stare at each other.
"What do you mean?" Tori asks, looking up the directions to make spicy tuna rolls.
"I don't know, just a bad feeling about him." Andre says.
"If he hurts you, I'll cut his balls off." Jade says with a smirk as the bell rings to get to first period. "I'll use the dull, rusty scissors with chipped blades." She says, smirking wider when she hears a high pitched squeak from Andre.
"Oh, God. That sounds painful." Andre whispers as he follows behind the Goth, his hands going to protect his groin.
"That's the idea." Jade says, leading the four to Sikowitz's class.
Later that day, Tori stands in the kitchen, looking over the directions for spicy tuna rolls from her PearPad, as she makes her dinner for her date with Ryder.
"What are you doing?" Trina asks as she stretches out her new jeans, seeing her sister at the kitchen counter.
"I'm making spicy tuna rolls." Tori says, glancing up at her sister before going back to making dinner.
"You're making sushi?" Trina asks, stretching her legs as she glances at Tori again.
"Yeah." Tori says, looking over the directions.
"But why make sushi?" Trina asks, not getting it.
"It's for my date. With Ryder Daniels." Tori says, a hint of smugness in her voice at the name.
"Ryder Daniels? Senior? Super hot?" Trina asks, pausing her stretching.
"Yeah." Tori says with a hint of pride.
"I don't know. He dates a lot of girls." Trina says, standing straight. "You remember my friend Lindsay?" She asks, concern in her voice.
"Little feet, big thighs?" Tori asks, looking at her sister.
"Yeah. He asked her out and a week later, boom, kicked her to the curb." Trina says, walking to her sister.
"I'm sure he had a reason." Tori says, trying to defend her date.
"Just be careful." Trina says, hugging Tori. "Want me to stay here in case he tries anything?" She asks, releasing her from the hug.
"I'll be fine." Tori says, giving her sister a grateful smile.
"Okay." Trina says, heading away.
An hour later, Tori finds herself sitting beside Ryder as they eat the spicy tuna rolls, or tuna balls considering they're more than twice the size they're supposed to be, on the couch as they make small talk.
"So, how are you enjoying your spicy tuna ball?" Tori asks, saying the name of the food with some hesitance.
"I've never had anything like this before." Ryder admits, holding the small ball of sushi with his chopsticks, taking a cautious bite.
A minute later, as Ryder heads to the bathroom by the garage, Trina jogs out from the downstairs hallway under the stairs, stopping behind Tori. "Look through his phone." She says, grabbing Ryder's phone from the table in front of the couches.
"What? Where did you…" Tori asks, looking at her sister.
"Trust me. Boys pee fast." Trina says, pushing the phone into Tori's hands.
"What the…?" Tori asks as Trina jogs away to hide.
Giving into curiosity, Tori opens Ryder's phone, somewhat surprised that he didn't have it locked, and looks through his texts, only seeing some texts from his friends, nothing suspicious.
"Having fun there?" Ryder asks with a hint of disbelief.
"Whoa!" Tori says, jumping as she looks over her shoulder at Ryder. "You boys do pee fast." She says, staring at Ryder nervously.
"I can't believe you're looking through my phone." Ryder says, looking at Tori.
"What? I wasn't looking through your phone." Tori says, staring at Ryder. Before Ryder says anything, his phone goes off in a text and Tori looks down, seeing one of his friend's names appear on the screen with '1 new text' under his name.
"Really?" Ryder asks, grabbing his phone out of her hands.
"I'm really sorry." Tori says as Ryder grabs his stuff and heads for the door to leave.
Not saying anything, Ryder leaves the Vega house, sending Tori a quick glance before shaking his head and leaving.
The next morning, as Tori's wandering through the halls looking for Ryder, she bumps into Jade by the corner between Andre's locker and Tori's.
"Oh, sorry." Tori says, keeping her grip on her donut and coffee.
"Why're you looking for Ryder?" Jade asks, leaning against a locker behind her, raising an eyebrow at the half-Latina.
"I looked through his phone last night and he caught me." Tori admits, taking a bite of her donut.
"Why'd you look through his phone?" Jade asks, surprised that Tori would do something like that.
"Trina put the idea in my head." Tori admits, sighing.
"I thought you were smarter than that?" Jade asks with a joking smile. "Why are you looking for Ryder? You never exactly answered." She asks again, pushing off the wall as Tori heads for her locker to follow her.
"To apologize for looking through his phone." Tori says with a sigh as she opens her locker.
"Find anything interesting?" Jade asks, leaning against the locker designed with a gravestone at night.
"What?" Tori asks, glancing at Jade.
"In Ryder's phone. Find anything interesting?" Jade asks again.
"All I saw were texts from his friends." Tori says, staring at Jade with a raided eyebrow.
"Oh." Jade says, sounding disappointed.
As Tori grabs her morning books, she doesn't see Ryder walking up behind her. "Daniels." Jade says, staring at the tall boy. "What are you doing here?" She asks, crossing her arms.
"Uh, wanted to talk to Tori. Can we talk?" Ryder asks Tori. "In private?" He adds when Jade stays where she's standing.
"Why? Afraid I'll ruin anything?" Jade asks, smirking.
"I'll be fine." Tori tells Jade, giving the Goth a small smile.
"Fine. I'll be in Sikowitz's." Jade says, walking away as she sends Ryder a quick glare.
"Look, I'm sorry about yesterday." Tori says, closing her locker.
"Why did you do it?" Ryder asks, sending Tori a curious look.
"I don't know." Tori says, sighing again. "Trina…" She goes to say, getting interrupted by Cat.
"Hey, do you guys think it's possible to give yourself CPR?" Cat asks, her hand over the mouthpiece of her phone.
"No." "I doubt it." Ryder and Tori says, glancing at each other before looking back at Cat.
"That's what I thought." Cat says, putting her phone back to her ear. "Sorry for the delay. But my supervisor tells me you can't give yourself CPR." She says into the phone, glancing at Tori as she puts emphasis on 'supervisor'. "Hello?" She asks into the phone. "Hello?" She asks, walking away.
"That was different." Tori says, still not fully used to Cat's behavior. "Again, I'm really sorry about looking through your phone." She says, turning to face Ryder.
"It's fine." Ryder says, sending her a small smile. "I got to go. I have to get started on picking a song to sing, the music." He says with a sigh, turning around. What Tori doesn't see is the small smirk on his face, knowing full well that Tori's a helpful person.
"Well, maybe we could do a duet?" Tori suggest as Ryder walks a few feet away.
"You sure?" Ryder asks, dropping his smirk and replacing it with a slight frown as he turns to face Tori. "I thought you said you were going to do a solo?" He asks, facing her fully.
"Why not?" Tori says, shrugging her shoulders. "Meet me in the music room after school and we'll go over a song." She says, giving him a small smile and heading towards class before the late bell rings. "See you later." She says with a wave.
"I'm sitting in with you." Jade says, hidden by the corner past Tori's locker, scaring the half-Latina.
"Don't do that!" Tori says, jumping from Jade's unexpected arrival, placing her right hand over her heart. "Sit in with me on what?" She asks, panting as she tries to catch her breath.
"Your song session with Ryder. I don't like him, and there's no way I'm letting you be alone with him." Jade says, grabbing Tori's arm and dragging her to class.
"Do you have to drag me?" Tori asks, trying not to slip as she's lead/dragged to class, still freaked out a bit from Jade scaring her.
"Yep." Jade says simply.
I decided to turn this into a two-part chapter instead of one. Next, we'll see the rest of the episode, I guess we can say.
To answer any questions about why Tori's going out with Ryder after her conversation with Andre last chapter, two reasons. One, he's kind of a male version of Jade, with how he dresses and acts in a way, so Tori's able to sort of see Jade in him. And two, she doesn't want anyone, other than Andre who already knows, to know she likes Jade, so she dates a guy to hide it, not knowing Jade already knows.
As for Jade, she heard that Tori doesn't want it known, so she's playing along so as not to alert Tori or anyone else. Hope that helps clear things up.
Sorry that this didn't have a lot of Tori/Jade. We'll see more of it next chapter.
Blessed Be.
