She ran home without looking back. She went straight to her room and into her bathroom, sobbing, splashing water in her face. She looked at her reflection.

I've got a tight grip on reality,
but I can't

let go of what's part of me here.
I know you're leaving in the morning, when you wake up
leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.

Whooa..

She looked horrible. Her eye shadow was smeared, her hair was a mess, and her face was wet with tears. She turned around, locked the door, and took a shower, washing her hair thoroughly.

How can I be so stupid? She scowled to herself. Andre's probably hooking up with her right now. He doesn't even care!

After she finished, she put on her pajamas-a navy t-shirt and navy night pants with sky blue polka dots. She was watching TV when someone knocked on the door. She got up to answer it.

It was Andre'.

"Tori I'm…" He was lost for words.

"What do you want?" She walked away from him as he closed the door.

"I want to talk to you." He sat down on the couch next to her.

"About what?" Her arms were crossed.

"What happened back there."

"I don't wanna talk about it." She got back up and he followed her.

"Look, I know she hurt your feelings! She does that to everyone!"

"To every girl you ask out?" Tori felt herself snap.

"YOU said it wasn't a date let me finish!" Andre felt himself nearly snap back. "She likes to humiliate people. And as soon as you left she began flirting with me and I turned her down."

"Why?"

"Because I told her I wasn't into her. I told her…that I was into someone else."

Her heart sank. "Huh…tell me about her."

"She's talented…smart…" He looked dead in her eyes. "beautiful…outgoing…and a great friend."

"Anything else?" Her stern mood cracked slightly.

"She goes to Hollywood Arts."

"W-what does she look like?"

"She has big…beautiful brown eyes…brown hair…"

She backed away as he walked forward. Then they were inches apart. That's when it hit her.

"It's not Trina…is it?" She smiled a little.

"Nope." He smiled back at her.

Tori wrapped her arms around his neck. "So what's her name?"

Andre wrapped his arms around her waist. "Tori Vega."

Then their lips met.
