Chapter 2

Part 1: Narrated by Andre

Tori and I walked into Nozu and walked over to Mrs. Lee at the Nozu sushi bar. Tori greeted her, "Hi Mrs. Lee!"

Mrs. Lee had seemed to not forget about the play Jade produced, because she replied, "Hello girl who tried to kill my daughter." Tori sheepishly looked away.

"Are you here for sushi?" Mrs. Lee had asked us.

I began to respond, "Actually…" when Mrs. Lee cut me off and told us to sit down and order sushi.

Tori replied, "Ok then."

"So, Mrs. Lee," I began to ask, "Tori and I were wondering if we could ever have another person perform on Saturdays? And when will our hours be?"

Tori interrupted, "Ha-ha. Our hours! … Go on."

Mrs. Lee replied, "Other people can sing too, but I must know first, and they won't be paid. And you can perform anytime you'd like!"

"Thanks again, Mrs. Lee," I said.

Then Mrs. Lee pointed at Tori and stated sharply, "I am still getting my revenge!"

Tori replied with a simple, "Oh."

Part 2: Narrated by Cat

As I walked into Nozu, I saw Robbie waiting at a booth. YAY! "Hi Robbie!" I screamed across the tables. I ran up to him and sat down.

Robbie responded in his quirky way, "Hey Cat! What do you want to order?" I decided to get my flirtatious side on.

I replied, "How about a hot bowl of Robbie?" and I leaned in to kiss him.

-20 Minutes Later-

Robbie and I both ordered the sushi of the day, and it was delicious! "Yummy! I love this sushi!" I said very pleased. Robbie added, "Yeah! What do you think they put in this sushi?"

I jokingly told him, "Fish and seaweed?"

Robbie, after a few seconds, replied, "Yeah!" Sometimes Robbie wasn't the smartest knife in my brother's closet.

I checked my phone and saw that it was already 9:30. "Aw! Sorry Robbie, I have to go watch I Married My Mom re-runs with my brother before he starts screaming."

Robbie looked sad that our date was over, but pleased. "That's okay. I'll see you tomorrow!" He leaned in for a kiss. I kissed him back for almost 10 seconds when I let go and said, "Bye, boyfriend!" Then I skipped out to my brother's car. He was already screaming at buses as they drove by.

Part 3: Narrated by Beck

Jade texted me saying she would be practicing Sikowitz play in the Blackbox, but a dance class was going on when I walked in. And there was no sign of Jade. I saw Trina over in the corner by herself.

I got her attention, "Hey Trina."

See seemed surprised. "Hey Beck. What's going on? We're in the middle of a dance class."

"Have you seen Jade? She said she would be here."

"Oh. You were looking for Jade. Not me… I haven't seen her. Sorry."

Trina seemed sad. I hoped that I didn't upset her. "Well, bye."

She replied glumly as I walked out, "bye."

As I walked out, I saw Jade at her locker. "Jade!" I yelled.

"Oh hey," she responded ever so casually.

Now my pressure had begun to boil. "Why weren't you in the Blackbox?"

Still casually, Jade simply replied, "Well… I was in the Blackbox. But then, get this. I wasn't in the Blackbox. Crazy, right?"

Confused, I replied, "Which means…"

Jade, obviously not wanting to talk, said, "Just forget it," and walked away. I thought to myself, "I'm done trying to get her back now."
