:) Jasmine Forever
Tori had a sore throat about a week later. The previous night, she had been arguing with Trina and she was the only one that had effects after that. Trina went to school while Tori stayed home, laying down on the couch. Her hair was straight, her throat was dry and throbbing, and a few tears ran down her face. She was listening to her iPod.
Meanwhile at school…
"Hey, Andre," Cat chirped, coming in Sikowitz's class.
"Wassup lil red?" He answered.
"The sky!" She clapped.
Andre rolled his eyes as Beck came in with Jade on his arm.
"Hey, guys." He greeted.
"Hey."
"Hi, Beck! Hi Jade!"
"Hey Cat." Jade said coolly. "Andre." She wasn't even paying attention-she was on her phone. Beck and Jade sat down silently. Robbie walked in. Cat blushed.
"Hi, Robbie." She said, looking at the floor.
"Hey, Cat." He replied, not looking at her.
"I wonder where's Tori."
"I don't know…you wanna sit with me?"
"Sure."
Cat and Robbie sat next to each other, still avoiding each other's gazes.
Throughout the day Andre wondered silently where she was. At lunch, when everyone except Trina sat together, he decided to call her.
"Hello..?" Tori croaked.
"Tori? Is that you?"
"Yeah…"
"What's wrong?"
"My throat…is sore."
"Okay, okay, don't talk-just listen alright. I'm going to drop by as soon as school is over."
"B-bu-"
"Shh. Don't worry. I'll be there in a couple hours."
He hung up.
"Who was that?" Cat asked.
"Tori."
"OMG, is she okay?"
"Her throat is sore."
"Aww, I feel bad for her."
"Yeah, but don't call her. She sounds really bad."
"Okay. Ooh, carrots!"
"You just noticed they were on your plate?" Jade muttered.
Andre knocked rapidly on her door. Tori got up to answer it.
"Hi." Her voice cracked painfully. He had already hugged her, sweeping her off her feet, closing the door.
"Are you okay?"
She shrugged, sitting back down. Andre sat down next to her, feeling her forehead and her neck.
"You don't feel okay. You have a fever."
Tori's eyes went wide, covering her throat.
"Calm down. Have you been taking medicine?"
She nodded, pointing to the counter. She winced at her throat when she took a deep breath.
"Aww, man." Andre wrapped his arms around her as she buried her face in his chest. "I'm sorry you feel so bad."
Something about what he just said made her start to sob. He rubbed her back as she did so for the next hour. She got out her cell phone and updated to TheSlap-
TORI VEGA: Sick :(
Mood: Weak
Cat texted her when she saw her update.
Hey, you ok?

Does Andre like u?
Ohh... Tori thought. No one knows about me and Andre yet...
Oh well. She's my best friend. So I'll tell her...
Yes
I mean more than a friend.
Cat, we've been more than friends for about a week.
Y didn't u tell me? :D
Srry! It sort of slipped my mind.
When?
We hung out, some girl pushed me into a punch bowl, I ran home, he followed me and told me how he felt. And things sort of took off from there.
That's it?
That's it basically.
Aww I'm so happy for you!
Thanxx...

Nothing really. We're watching TV and Andre's holding me.
So romantic...*tear*

Chatting with Robbie.
Oh? What r u guyz talking about?
Nothing much. He's bored.
Wait-omg...
What?
Robbie just asked me if I wanted to come over his grandma's house to see him this Saturday. I told him I didn't like his grandma, becuz she's mean to me :(, but he said sometime around 7 or 8.
When she's asleep. He said maybe we could talk the way we used to.
The way you used to?
Before you came at Hollywood Arts, me and Robbie used to talk all the time because no one talked to us.
Cute :P
