Robbie should have been ecstatic. Not only was he getting girls attention, but he also got THE girl's attention he had been trying to get since she had arrived at Hollywood Arts, Tori Vega. Why wasn't Robbie happy? Simple, he missed Rex. He knew it would take some getting used to, but he hadn't expected it to happen so quick.
So what did Robbie do to keep his mind off of Rex? He hung out with friends all afternoon, deciding he wasn't going to be at his house unless he had to. Beck invited Andre over to his RV, and Robbie, hearing about it, again managed to play it cool.
"So you invite Dre to hang out at your RV and not me? Gee, I feel loved," Said Robbie smiling.
"Uhm, you can come over if you want, it's cool." Replied Beck.
"Alright, you guys going over there right after school?" Asked Robbie.
"Yeah," Said Andre.
"Alright, you wanna meet up after school and head down from there?" Asked Robbie.
"Yeah, you cool with that Dre?" Asked Beck.
"Yeah, sounds pretty cool to me." Andre replied
"Hey text me and let me know where we're gonna meet up," Said Robbie.
"Will do," Beck replied.
The rest of the day came and went for the group. Tori and Jade constantly fought, with Jade usually making sad attempts at comebacks.
"She's so cute when she tries to make a comeback" Thought Robbie
Cat was her usual bubbly self, saying things that didn't make sense, proving that she probably wasn't right in the head. Beck and Jade were, well, for lack of a better term, the inseperable couple.
"Hey, how come Jade isn't gonna be over there?" Robbie had asked at lunch.
"Because she has to stay late for a play rehearsal."
Since Andre was having trouble writing a new song, he was the most distant member of the group, not even sitting with them for lunch. He carried a pen and paper around all day, hoping he would figure out the lyrics to a new song.
"Stupid diddley bops song," He thought, "Ever since that whole 3 minutes of hell I've been having trouble writing a song."
As the final bell for the end of school let out, Robbie checked his phone.
"No text yet," Thought Robbie, "Maybe I'll just go talk to Tori until he texts me."
As he walked towards the lockers, he found Tori talking to another guy.
"Maybe I should just get out of here," He thought.
"I said no Mark!" Yelled Tori.
"Nobody turns me down Tori!" Shouted Mark.
"Well I just did," Tori countered back
Mark grabbed Tori's wrists and forcefully shoved her against the lockers. Since it was about 8 minutes after school had let out, the hallway was fairly clear. The remaining people in the halls either didn't care what was happening, or were too scared to do anything about it. Robbie, who was scared to death, gathered his confidence and walked over to the scene.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Questioned Robbie in a threatening tone.
"Stay out of this Shapiro!" Mark yelled.
"I think she said no," Said Robbie.
"If you know what's good for you, you will stay out of this," Replied Mark.
"And if you know whats good for you, you'll shut the hell up, and get the hell away from Tori, before I kick your ass," Robbie said confidently, looking Mark in the eye, even though he was scared to death inside.
"Bring it bitch!" Said Mark his face inches from Robbie's.
At this point, Robbie lost it, he spit in Mark's eye and socked him right across the face, hitting him in the face. Mark sputtered back shocked.
"Run Tori!" Said Robbie, not wanting it to involve her.
Tori did as she was told, running away toward where she knew Beck and Andre would be.
"Andre! Beck!" Tori yelled, "Andre! Beck!"
"Torii!" Yelled Andre.
"Over here!" Beck added.
"Guys, guys!" Yelled Tori.
"Hey do you know where Robbie is cause he sa..." Started Beck.
"Robbie's in a fight with this guy who wouldn't stop hitting on me, Come on!" Tori said impatiently, running in front of the others.
Beck and Andre broke into a run towards the area where the fight was happening. When they entered the building, they saw Robbie and Mark, being broken up by the school couseler, Lane.
"He's a pussy!" Shouted Mark.
Robbie didn't say anything and remained silent. He looked rough, bruises all over his face, and a bloody lip. Mark had a black eye, but other than that, he didn't look too bad.
"We will discuss punishments tomorrow, I can't even look at you kids right now," Said Lane.
"All right," Said Mark.
"Yes sir," Said Robbie respectfully, showing that while he was learning the cool image, he wasn't the ideal 'bad boy' who was an automatic jackass to everyone he met.
"Come on, let's go Robbie," Said Tori, grabbing his arm.
Beck and Andre their eyebrows as they walked behind Tori and Robbie.
"Why don't you come over to my house and I'll get you cleaned up," Said Tori sweetly.
"Uhm, but I was going over to Beck's RV with those two," Replied Robbie, not wanting to break a commitment.
"It's cool," Said Beck, "Why don't you just come over tomorrow, Jade isn't coming over 'til 8, and we are going to a move then, so it'll be cool if you come over then."
"Okay, thanks you guys," Replied Robbie, as Tori pulled him away. Andre winked at him as he walked by. Robbie made a mental note to talk to Andre and ask him what that he was insinuating. However, Robbie didn't have time to think for long as Tori pulled him out the door and towards a bathroom.
"Here Robbie," She said, handing him a cloth, "Put that on your lip."
Tori continued to help get Robbie cleaned up, getting ice for his face. When they finished they walked out of the door and towards Robbie's car.
"I assume I'm driving you over there," Said Robbie.
"If you don't mind," She asked sweetly, batting her eyelashes flirtasiously.
"Of course not," Said Robbie.
As they got to Robbie's car, he slipped into thought mode, thinking of Tori, how badly she wanted to be with her, but also how different she'd been acting toward him. She hadn't fought off any of her advances.
"Could Tori Vega actually like me?" Thought Robbie as he turned on the car.
