Jade and I are waiting for Trina and Beck to come back home. We've been waiting for an hour now I wonder what happened? Im worried sick. I shouldn't have let Trina go. I kept looking at my phone but im not receiving any text, calls, or any updates from beck.
"Calm down Vega they'll be back soon" that's right Jade's with me. I almost forgot because I was too busy worrying about Trina "What if something happened to her?" I walk back and fourth in the living room while placing both of my hands on my head. Trina can be hard-headed sometimes so Beck might not be able to stop her. What if she got hit with a car? What will our parents say?
"Beck can handle her don't worry just sit down" she's playing with her scissors on the couch while watching me walk around the living room "I told you I can go look for her but you don't want me too" she volunteered a while ago that she can go look for Trina and help Beck on finding her. But I don't want her to leave me here alone in the house or I'll go crazy. Besides it was Beck's fault for not stopping Trina.
"No way, I wouldn't want to be left alone here" I said glaring at her "Well im getting sick of seeing you getting worried and all"
Im kind of happy that Jade stayed with me and that she didn't leave me alone. At least I know that she cares for me and she's trying hard to be my friend. I tried to calm myself down before sitting beside her she looked at me and continued playing with her sharp scissors.
"How about we play a little game? So I can take my mind off of Trina till they get back here?" I suggested. She continued playing with her scissors "How about you stop talking and wait for your little sister?" I frowned. I can't take another minute waiting here while getting worried about Trina. I'll go insane.
"Oh Come on Jade im getting paranoid… Let's play a game!" I took both of her hands and forced her to sit down on the floor. I laughed a little because her expression became irritated and annoyed "Just one game I promised" I pout "You shouldn't promise Vega"
"Alright so what do you want to play?" I nudged her and she just scoffed "How about we play the shut up game starting now" I thought of a game while Jade continued playing with her sharp scissors. She's not really helping. 'That's because she doesn't want to play'
"How about 20 Questions?" I wiggled my eyebrows and then she looked at me, her expression was blank so im guessing it's not a good one "Can we play something else?"
"Alright what about… Truth or dare?" I suggested "Ugh not that game fine 20 Questions" she played her scissors again "Yay! You first?"
"Fine…" she became quiet for a while but it's taking too long "So? The question?" she looked at me with poker face "Oh right I thought the game was over. What are we doing again?" Is she serious? I thought she was thinking of a question "Just give this a shot Jade!"
She rolled her eyes, "Why did you go to Sherwood? that was my former school. Before I sang Trina's performance which is 'Make It Shine'
"Well I think Sherwood is the best school for me because im average and normal, I have no plans in auditioning in Hollywood arts with Trina. Mainly because the people there are crazy talented and smart. Unlike me…" I heard her chuckled "Don't pull yourself down Vega, im the only one who's supposed to do that to you"
I laughed and thought of another question. This is actually my chance of asking her about her parents and her mom "So what exactly is your relationship with your mom?" she didn't look at me but she stopped playing with her scissors for a while "What do you mean?" she looked at me for a second before playing with her scissors again "You know, um are you guys close to each other or-"
"My mom is as busy as my dad now so we don't talk to each other quite often. And that's why I don't talk about them. We used to be so close when I was a kid... But when she's with dad they always argue so what's the point of talking to them?" I feel bad now. I shouldn't have asked her that.
"So why did your dad became a cop?" she asked out of the blue. Oh that's right it's her turn now "He said he wanted to be a cop when he grows up so he become one. What about your dad? What's his dream job?" I heard her laugh it doesn't sound like a happy one.
"My dad doesn't have a dream job. Grandpa used to run the West Corporation and dad inherit it… I guess he wasn't allowed to have a dream job because he knew that he'll become the future CEO of the company someday" that's just sad does this mean that Jade is going to inherit the company too if he's dad is going to retire?
"That's one of the reasons why my dad doesn't like me being creative. We always argue about it. He wants me to stop going to Hollywood arts and pursue the world of business"
"So… What are you going to do if he forced you?" she smirked "I believe it is my turn to ask the question now" Oh right the game is still moving. Damn it I was so close. I nodded and waited for her next question.
"Why are you always friendly?" I laughed dang it I can see her glaring at me. I can't stop myself from laughing "three, two, one..." she started counting so I tried my best to suppress my laugh.
"Alright alright well… I think it's just my nature to be friendly and approachable" I smiled "What? That's stupid" she scoffed "Well not for me it isn't" she shook her head while looking at me "Whatever"
"Well what about you why are you mean towards people?" she dropped her scissors and looked at me "Well I think it's just my nature to be mean and talented" she used her western accent again, ugh when will she stop mocking me?
"I don't talk like that!" I playfully punched her right shoulder and she just chuckled "So how do you tolerate Trina?" she asked. "I guess I got used to it" she laughed and I gave her a stern look "Ha it's not like you have any choice" I rolled my eyes, "Ugh tell me about it, so why do you love the scissoring?"
"Because it's the best horror movie ever. What a stupid question" I glared at her she just laughed. I can never get tired of her laugh. Not that I mentioned it she has been laughing for a long time now. I thought something was wrong with her but I guess she's just really happy. I just find it odd that Jade West is actually laughing in front of me.
"Why do you still have your cuddle-me-cathy doll?" I can see that she's suppressing her laugh, ugh why did she even remembered that? "Because I always have her ever since I was a child… So I can't sleep without her anymore"
"Really?" I nodded. "Yeah… I guess. Anyways what type of guys do you like?" she gave me a 'seriously?' look so I giggled. It hurts a little to know that she might answer my question. And the fact that I really like her is torture. 'Well why did you asked her about it?' well I was out of questions.
"I don't really know I mean I went out with Beck because he's not that bad. Then I started to like him throughout the years that were together. Even though we always fight and scream at each other… So yeah" she casually replied.
"Are you serious? You only think Beck wasn't that bad? That's why you dated him?" wow this girl is unbelievable. Every girl in Hollywood Arts dreamed of dating Beckett Oliver including my sister but she just dated Beck because he wasn't that bad.
"Yeah I mean he's not like the other losers out there who wanted to go out with me cause im hard to get" that's true. Beck is a nice guy and let's be honest here. If Jade and Beck weren't together on the first day of class… I might have had a slight crush on him.
"When we were at the Nozu's because of Sikowitz, did you really mean what you said to me that I was pretty or you're just being nice?" she wasn't looking at me when she asked me that question and she's playing with her scissors again. But I can see that she's blushing a little so I smiled.
"I mean it. You're really pretty and you're talented as well. You know if you weren't such a gank… Lots of guys would want to go out with you. I mean even thought you're such a gank there are still guys who wants to go out with you, I-I just th-think that you should—"
"Thanks Vega…" I think I just felt my heart skipped a beat… She was looking at me as she says those words and she was smiling… a smile of appreciation "Well… You're welcome" I looked away there was a moment of silence between us. So I have to break the ice. It's my turn to ask a question.
"Why do you want to be a writer someday?" this time I looked at her "Because it's what I've always wanted, just like your dad. Maybe I just suddenly woke up and thought to myself that I wanted to be a writer" I smiled, that's pretty cute…
I saw her smirked. Not the good kind of smirk... Oh no what is she up too? "Who's your first boyfriend?" she asked "Well it's…It's actually Steven..." I confessed "Why did you dump him?" she's still smirking there's no way I'll answer that question… She'll just make fun of me.
"It's my turn to ask!" she laughed and I have to clear my throat before I started talking again "What about you? Who's your first boyfriend? I asked "Actually he's not a boy, it's a girl and she's not from Hollywood arts..." Holy chiz. HOLY CHIZ does this mean that she's gay? It means I actually have a chance on her?
"That's right Vega, im bi… and no one knows about it so you better keep this as a secret" she opened up to me I wanted to ask more questions but it's her turn to ask already. Aww gravy "So who's your first kiss?" I blushed again dang it why is she asking this kind of questions? "Can we please stop asking this kind of questions?" I frowned. "Just answer it Vega, come on I asked" she chuckled.
"Well don't be mad but it was actually Beck… Yes the stage play part… it was my first kiss" I saw her mouth form the letter 'o' I know it's shocking but come on! "No way" she faked a gasp "Yes way don't be mad ok?" I gave her a peace sign and she just crossed her arms on her chest.
"So anyway who's your-" I was about to ask her something when she suddenly cuts me off "Wait a minute… if Beck was your first kiss then…" what is she trying to say? "You're a virgin?!" alright I think if anyone could see me right now they would think that im sick or something because im as red as a tomato… Does she have to ask that? Really?
I heard her laugh even more, oh god please make her stop I don't really know what to do "Alright hahaha It's alright Vega, your secret's safe with me" she winked. I blushed even more. She's still laughing. Urgh why does it have to be this way? "Stop it ugh I don't want to play this game anymore"
I stood up and went straight to the kitchen I need some water. I can feel myself burning from the embarrassment. God how will I even face her? This is too much I don't think I can trust her. She might spoil it 'This is all your fault Tori! If you didn't play that game this wouldn't have happen.' But look on the bright side. At least she opened up to me for a couple of times.

When she went to the kitchen I can't stop laughing about it. Well yeah I was a bit mad that beck was her first kiss but the realization that she was still untouched is hilarious. I think I liked her even more now who knows? She wasn't that bad for a girlfriend. I had fun throughout the game even though I have to open up to her for a couple of times. Especially about my parents it was worth it. Knowing that I won the game.
After I finished laughing I followed her in the kitchen and she's drinking a lot of water "Whoa Vega take it easy are you trying to drown yourself?" she glared at me but she looked away and blushed. Dang it. "Don't worry Vega I won't tell anybody. It's not a big deal" I chuckled. "Is this another part of your trick?" she gave me a death glare before handing me a glass of water "No… now get over it"
Knock knock Knock
We heard three loud knocks on the door. Let me guess it's Beck and Trina. Tori hurriedly went towards the door and opened it. We saw Beck carrying Trina. Well Beck saw me so he got curious why. But he didn't say anything "Is she ok? Where did you found her?" Tori asked while letting Beck inside.
"Well she was running to the bar and before she fainted I already caught her. It's a good thing there weren't many people" he replied "Lay her on the couch" he did what Tori told him to do and im still looking at him. You know that if looks can kill he'd be in the hospital by now. I hate the fact that he disturbed us and now he's trying to get close to Tori. I know what he's up too. He also likes Tori and he's trying his chances.
"Thanks for bringing her home even though she disturbed you tonight. Im sorry" What? Why is she apologizing? "It's not your fault that you have a hard-headed sister so why are you apologizing?" I asked. Beck gave me a glare and I returned him the same intensity. I won't let him go far. Not with Tori "I know that but I shouldn't have let her go so none of this would have happened. Anyways, thanks Beck for bringing my sister home you can go home as well she's safe now" she smiled at the canadian "It was nothing, I know that you're worried sick… And I should be the one apologizing because-"
"Alright im going home since you found your sister and it's getting late I better get going" I can't take it. I hate what's happening right now I know that I don't have any right to be upset or be jealous. But… wait… Im actually jealous? Because of Vega? No chiz… This shouldn't be happening.
I heard Tori calling my name but I ignored her and went inside my car. I can't deal with her right now im tired and my emotions are filling me up again. This wouldn't be the right time to talk to her and tell her why im upset and annoyed at the moment. I might spill some beans.

"So what happened?" Beck asked when I went inside the house "Well she went to her car and drove off. Maybe she is tired" he was sitting on the couch. I told him to put Trina to bed and he did. So I went out to look for Jade but she ignored me when I was calling her. Could it be that she was jealous of me and Beck? Damn it the dinner was going well but then this thing happened.
She might get mad at me again and be mean to me. I hope she wouldn't. I can tell that she had fun in our little game plus, I got to know her even more.
"Well I should get going… It's getting late and you look like you're also tired. I know how worried you are and im really sorry for putting you a lot of trouble" he's really nice "No it's not your fault. Trina's really hard-headed and we both know that no one can deal with her" I laughed a little and he did the same. "Listen I didn't know that Jade was here if she was then I wouldn't have called. I'll explain everything to her so she won't get mad at-"
"Hey it's not your fault either, none of us know that Trina's going to get drunk and that you'll be calling so it's nobody's fault. And besides I think Jade's just tired because I annoyed her for a couple of times" I cut him off. I wouldn't want him to think that this was entirely his fault cause it was nobody's fault in the first place.
"You're so understanding I just…" he blushed. Oh no here we go again im trying to avoid this topic because It'll get awkward. I think he sensed it too so he cleared his throat before speaking "Well I should, I should get going now"
"Yeah it's getting late and I think Trina worn you off" he just smiled. I went with him till he reaches his car. He went inside it and said goodbye to me. I did the same thing "Tori im serious about you. Please consider it. Good night" he drove off while leaving me speechless in the driveway. Dear God why does this have to happen? I went inside the house and proceeded to Trina's room. She's now sleeping peacefully as if nothing happened at all.
Well at least nothing bad happened to her. She needs a lot of rest. Good luck with her hangover tomorrow. I giggled. Before heading to my room I washed the dishes first and heated the last two piece of fried octopus in the microwave. I don't know if Trina would eat this. Im guessing that she won't.
I texted Jade afterwards. 'Why did you go off like that? Are you ok? I sure hope that you're just tired… I'll see you tomorrow? – Tori' Im getting paranoid is she mad? I hope not. It's just a simple matter. It's not a big deal. Isn't it?
I waited for her reply but I got nothing. Maybe she's already sleeping. So I decided to wash myself, change into my pajamas, and went to my bed. 'You messed it up Tori' I said to myself before drifting to sleep.
