-VEGA

"Holy chiz VEGA! Wake up!" what now? I opened one of my eyes only to see that Jade is freaking out like she saw something terrible for example make-ups, lip gloss, pink things and other beauty products. I was left with no choice but to sit up and see why the hell is she freaking out "What now Jade? Isn't it a little bit early for you to ruin my day?" I said but she paid no attention to me.

"There's a cockroach on my feet get it off me!" what? I removed the blanket that's covering us and yes there is a cockroach on her ankle "Relax it's just an insect for Robbie and I's science project" she's still freaking out and she's not moving, she's just staring at the cockroach waiting for its next move.

Since im enjoying what's happening to her right now "I'll deal with that cockroach after I finish washing my face" I looked at her and I was right, she's flaming up and she'll be yelling at me any time soon for not obeying what she just told me to do. Well Jade West, you're not always the boss of me I said while giggling on the back of my head.

"Vega come back here or I swear to god" this is the first time I see her freak out over an insect, "Relax Jade if you move your feet away from it, it might fly around the room" I was trying to sound like I was threatening her but that cockroach is really going to fly if she move her leg "So stay still" I smirked knowing Jade she wouldn't listen to me.

"Really now?" she kicked one of the pillows and the cockroach started flying across the room. I wasn't even bothered because it's just a little piece of bug "Vega I'll get you for this" whoops I guess it's time for me to bail. "See you in the kitchen Jade" I yelled before running out of the room. That's one point for me and zero points for Jade. Although I should be on the look out because im in for some serious chiz.

When I went down in the kitchen I saw Trina cooking pancakes and bacons "Wow Treen it's so nice of you to make us breakfast" I said while smiling ear to ear "Guess again Tori this is not for you. Dean is coming home today and I told him to have breakfast here" that Dean again? Im quit surprised that he's still dating Trina up to now... Maybe he hasn't heard her sing yet.

I heard Jade going down from the stairs she's stomping her feet so I assumed the cockroach pissed her off good time. I guess Robbie and I will have to go buy another one "So did you kill our cockroach Jade?" I asked her but she gave me a scowl "Yeah I used my scissors to cut its wings off" I gave her a disgusting look she can be really mean to anyone or to anything "Looks like somebody didn't sleep well last night" Trina said while preparing the sandwiches on the table "Whatever who asked you anyway" she's starting to have an argument with my sister already? It's not even nine yet Trina gave Jade a stern look "Aww come on Trina we're hungry" I pleaded but she mouthed 'no'

"Let's just go to this new café near Hollywood arts" Jade suggested, "Fix yourself up I wouldn't want to embarrass myself going out with you while you're wearing colorful pajamas" she went to the garage and started the engine of her car. "So…" Trina slowly said without looking at me "Have you figured out why you invited her for a sleepover?"

I ignored her and went upstairs. I decided to wear my favorite white v-neck shirt and my black jeans, together with my favorite pair of boots. Since jade is giving me ten minutes to prepare myself I didn't have enough time to dry my hair because she'll leave me here with Trina and I wouldn't like that because Dean and her would get mushy on the kitchen, eating breakfast while im starving and watching a stupid TV show in the living room "Vega, you have one minute left" I heard her say downstairs, "Alright I'll be there" I guess I'll just have to let my hair dry along the way.

"Took you long enough let's go" she's the one driving because I failed my driver's license. Don't get me started "Hurry up I don't want to drive while the sun is rising" she's becoming bossy again geez.

"So what's up with your annoying sister today?" she managed to ask while focusing her attention on the road, "She said that Dean is coming on the house today so they can have breakfast together" I lazily replied. "You look tired Vega"

"I actually had a good night sleep. But since you woke me up while screaming I lost my appetite to have a good morning" I reasoned out, but I guess I felt a little happy to know that she's afraid of cockroaches "But then again, I didn't know that you're afraid of cockroaches" I laughed.

"Not funny Vega and no I am not afraid of cockroaches, I just think they're very disgusting" she defensively said "No need to deny it West, im cool with it plus no one will ever know" I looked at her while smirking but she doesn't seem to care this may be a good morning after all "Unless," she stiffened "Unless what Vega? Unless I cut your throat or you'll shut up for good?" geez I thought I would run her over. Well that's one point for her.

She parked the car near the entrance because she said we won't be staying long. So this is the new café near Hollywood arts… It's classy, no wonder Jade like this place "Are you just gonna stand there?" she walked past me. Typical Jade.

"I'll have a black coffee, you?" she glanced at me before asking, "Umm are there any pancakes here?" she gave me a don't-be-an-idiot-vega look "Pancakes for this idiot" after the waiter gave her the check she grabbed my wrist and sat on the table near the window "So what's up?" I asked while shoving a piece of pancake in my mouth it's not that bad compared to Trina's cooking "Cat wants us to meet her" she said while sipping her coffee, I've never seen Jade look so peaceful and beautiful while texting and drinking at the same time. Maybe because this is the first time she took me with her in a café.

I mean even though she makes my life miserable in Hollywood arts, I can't deny the fact that she's also one of the most beautiful girls that I've ever met. And im not being gay here, even if she only wears black clothes (most of the time) she never goes out of style. Wait maybe I am being gay.

"Are you done checking me out? Come on finish your food and let's go" I blushed. I didn't know I was already staring at her. So I ate my pancake as fast as I could because Jade doesn't like waiting. She pretty much hate everything.

"Do you know where she is?" she nodded, "She's still staying at her mom's boss" she started the engine of her beautiful car (which looks like a hearse) and silenced filled the whole atmosphere "Why does she want to see us?" I wanted to break the silence because it's killing me "You can't last a minute without talking, can you?"

"Well im sorry I just feel awkward and uneasy" I defended myself, "I don't know either. That's why we're driving to see her" she said in a logical manner. She zoned me out again.

-WEST

After snapping back at her she didn't say anything else. That's what you wanted right? I said to myself. But the thing is I feel like something's missing when Vega is not talking. It's like having a burger without a patty in it. Jade West hates annoying people like Tori Vega that's what I thought. But right now, I want her to tell me stories like how her sister Trina irritates her or how weird but nice Sinjin can be or even just asking me some stupid questions like why-are-you-always-mean phrases.

I almost felt like I was the only one in the car because of Vega being quiet the whole time. So when we finally reached Cat's destination I looked at her and she's peacefully sleeping. Cheesus Crust I opened the door beside me and went to her side. But before I wake her up I took the moment to look at her beautiful yet innocent looking face.

Vega has a nice pointy nose and I didn't notice how long her eyelashes is, not to mention her pink curly lips... I bet they're smooth and soft when you kiss her after realizing what I just said I snapped myself back and decided to wake her "Vega we're here wake up" I patted her shoulders, "Hhmmmhhm…" she moaned while slowly opening her eyes.

Don't look at me like that I said to myself, she looks so hot while tugging her hair around her ears. Yes im admitting that she's hot she'll never know it anyway "Are you ok? You look like you fought a gorilla, oppps you already did" she glared at me.

"Let's just go" she rang the doorbell but nobody answered "Hello? Cat? This is Tori and Jade… Open up?" we heard the perky little red head yell "Come on in!" Tori opened the door and went inside first.

"Whoa this house is huge" can't argue with that. Cat's mom is working in a huge company "There she is" I entered the living room and I saw Cat playing with a puppy, "Hey Cat" Tori greeted her, "So why'd you texted me?" she was too busy playing with the puppy that she didn't even said hi back to Tori.

"No reason" what? "No reason? It was a one hour drive and you have no reasons?" I snapped at her I was stuck with Tori and she's just going to say no reasons "Calm down Jade I just wanted to ask how the sleepover went" she turned to look at Tori "So how was it?"

-VEGA

"How was it? Hahaha it was hilarious! I didn't know Jade was afraid of cockroaches" I wish I can just say this out loud but I fear for Jade's sharp scissors, "It was…" I looked at Jade "… fun" I tried not to laugh and Jade rolled her eyes "Oh yay! Really? You know I invited Jade for a sleepover a couple of times but she just-"

"Alright so what did you do last night?" that was Jade cutting Cat during our conversation God! she's so polite. "I spent most of my time thinking how do zebra's poop and why it was easy for them to give birth… Do you guys know why?" she looked at me and I shrugged. "You didn't sleep, did you?" Jade asked not minding the perky little red head's question, she crossed her arms on her chest making her look more relevant when she's saying something.

"No why?" Jade smirked, "No reasons have you eaten?" did I hear it right? Jade west is being concern. I looked at her and she just gave me a what-the-hell-are-you-looking-at face. "Someone's being-"

"No one cares Vega" I frowned why can't she be caring and nice to me the way she is to Cat? "Yes I already ate but I called you guys because I need a ride home" Cat replied. "Where's your mom's boss?" I don't really see him anywhere "Oh he's upstairs looking for his car keys. He said I can go home and tell my mom that he said thanks."

"Let's get you home then" Jade went out of the house leaving me and Cat alone in the living room, "Tori wait for me im just going to say goodbye to my mom's boss" she went upstairs. Guess I'll be staying here…

Ring Ring that's my pear phone, "What's up" Beck's calling. "Hey Tori, how did your Saturday go?" why is he asking? "It was good, why?" he paused. "Oh nothing, um listen can we hook up this afternoon? At karaoke dokie?" he's not asking me out right? "As in hang out?" I replied. "Yeah, like hang, you and me at karaoke" he made it sound so simple. "Just the two of us?"

"Yeah… why?" no no no, "Listen um Beck that feels like we're actually dating." I heard him cough on the other line. "But what if we did?"

"Tori im back!" I heard Cat coming down from the stairs "Listen Beck, Cat is here… Im just going to call you later boop bye" I hang up. "Who called you?" Cat asked "Oh well it's just Beck let's go… Jade might kill us."

"So what took you both so long? Do you have any plans on cleaning the entire house and keep me waiting here?" grumpy Jade is so adorable I want to choke her in a good way "Cat said goodbye to her mom's boss that's why it took us a long time to get here. Don't be such a gank" I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever hope in" Cat went in the back of the car, "Hey wait you can just sit on the passenger's seat" I don't want to be with Jade I need to catch a break "But I want to be in the back" it's too late she already opened the door and went inside. "Hurry Vega" so help me God.

"Thanks for driving me home Jade" Cat said while giggling. I waved my hand to her and Jade gave her a smirk "See you in school Cat" then we drove off… "Can you drop me at the karaoke dokie? Im meeting a friend" I don't know if she's going to say yes but… at least I tried? "Who?" she asked.

"Beck" I casually said, "Beck? Who else" she looked at me "Just Beck" I don't want her to think that something's going on between the two of us. I just want her to know that it's not a big deal, that im just going to hang with Beck (her ex-boyfriend) as friends… Cause I only like Beck as a friend.

"Whoa Whoa Whoa… Are you going out with Beck?" I knew it she'll freak out "No we're just hanging out" her expression became soft "Fine" she replied.

"Thanks Jade" I said as I walk out of the car. But as soon as I stepped out of it she closed the door and left me I sure hope she's not mad. I entered the karaoke dokie and I saw Beck sitting on a stool "What's up?" I asked while sitting in one of the stool beside him "Nothing much, you?"

"Same so why do you want to hang out? Where's Robbie and Andre?" It's just us Jade will kill me "Not here obviously" he's drinking… Is this about jade? "Why are you drinking?" It's too early for him to drink im just concerned as a friend "I thought you weren't coming" well that's a lame excuse.

"Well you don't really have to drink I told you I'll call you but you're not answering… So I came here instead" that's true I dialed his phone for a couple of times but he's not answering "I didn't bring my phone" Aahh so that's why.

"Listen about the hooking up thing I think-" he cut me off just like his ex-girlfriend Jade "I just want to try it Tori It's been over a month now… I know Jade won't mind because she doesn't treat you as a friend" Well ouch I think Jade treating me like im not one of her friends hurts more than Beck not asking me out or something.

"But I already like you the first time I met you… Im not cheating on Jade but when I first saw you and you're rubbing off the coffee that you spilled on my shirt… you're the first lady that got dorky around me… And I think it's cute" he continued… "Look Beck I think you're just drunk. Let's get you home" he's leaning closer to me, wait what? "Beck?" he's leaning even closer, "Beck no!" I lift him up and took him inside his car, "Alright, I'll call Robbie and ask him to take you home" oh wait that was stupid, "Never mind I'll call Andre" It took me three attempts to call him before he finally answered.

"Ey Tori? What's going on?" I can hear his grandma on the background, "Listen Andre, Beck is drunk and I can't drive him home because I don't have a driver's license… Can you do it?"

"Sure, sure… I'll be there" that's all I have to hear… I hang up and positioned Beck on the passenger's seat, "God you're heavy" I whispered… It took Andre five minutes to get here, "Thanks Andre I owe one" he smirked… "Anything for you guys hey wait why are you and Beck together?" he asked before opening the driver's seat. "He said he wants to talk to me about something so I meet him up and im quite surprised to see that he's already drunk" I explained "Alright see you on Monday" then he drove off. What's happening to Beck? He shouldn't be asking me out.

He knows that I want to be friends with Jade even though I feel like we're already friends… I want Jade to admit to herself that we are instead of denying it. Besides im always having fun when im with her that night at Nozu is one of the weirdest yet essential days of my life. Because during that night she said something nice about me, the things that she usually keeps to herself.

And everything that I said to her during that night is true, she is pretty, talented and not afraid to speak what she wants to say. That's because you like her so much oh god no, I am just admiring her that's all. I mean there are plenty of guys who like her even though she can be a gank sometimes and makes everyone's lives miserable… But you're not a guy so what? I only wanted to be her friend.

I wonder what will Jade say in front of our friends… Did she like the sleepover? I mean I feel like she did but since she saw the cockroach for Robbie and I's science project she might have hated it.

Her opinion means a lot to me. I don't want her to snap back at me again because she didn't like what happened in my room. I blushed when I remember what happened last night. I can't believe I said that she doesn't need to wear anything if she doesn't want too. Feeling pretty stupid Tori? I asked myself. No wonder jade doesn't like me… like me as a friend… What was I thinking?

I walked ten blocks away from home, because I don't have enough money to ride a bus and because I was thinking of Jade… and Beck… of course.

"So where's Dean?" I said when I saw Trina in the living room "Well he admitted that it was you who he really likes and not me..." what? I don't even know him "That's impossible I haven't even met him yet" she looks so sad I feel bad for her "I know..." She replied in a low tone "Want me to get back to him?" I heard her sigh "No let him go I can just look for some other guys anyway" she said, "Besides I kinda knew already" then she went upstairs.
