About a week passes and Tori seemed to finally be settling in at HA. Things still hadn't smoothed over with her and Jade, but she had found a friend in Cat Valentine. She was Jade's perky red headed best friend who seemed to be Jade's complete opposite. They talked at school and even spent time together outside of it. Normally they were at Tori's house or at the mall, but today Cat wanted to go somewhere different. A small coffee shop towards the cheaper side of town. Tori wasn't very sure why Cat wanted to go here because Cat didn't really care for coffee, but she didn't object when the perky girl begged and pouted her lip. She walks inside and meets Cat at the back table, sitting her bag down. Three drinks were on the table perfectly arranged to make a triangle. Cat had a huge cup of hot chocolate with extra whipped cream, then Tori's mocha latte, and a third dark cup of coffee sat in front of an empty chair. "Who's is that?"Tori asks as she sits down and takes her coffee with a smile sipping it. Perfect, just the way she liked it. Just sweet enough to drown out the bitter of the coffee, but not sweet enough to drown out the strong taste of the arabica beans.
"Hi Vega,"says a familiar voice as she sits down in the empty chair and takes her dark cup of coffee, sipping it, shuddering in delight. Tori doesn't even have to look up to know it's Jade. That distinct perfume she wore had already alerted Tori's senses, the thud of her combat boots another dead give away. Tori brings her eyes up to meet Jade's and she puts up her usual giant smile,"Hi! I wasn't aware that you were coming to meet us. I would have brought more brownies..." Cat smiles,"It's okay I'll share mine with Jadey! She was already here when I showed up. This is her favorite place in town!"Cat giggles. Tori nods and hands the two girls the brownies,"It's okay she can have mine. I'm not very hungry to be honest." Jade smirks as she sits back and sips her coffee again, crossing one leg over the other,"So..what are you two good girls doing out on a day like this? I'd expect you to be at home doing homework, or trying to teach your sister how to-" "Shut up,"Tori huffs. She glares at Jade, a cold atmosphere settling between the two girls. "Can't you two get along? For one day? For me!?"Cat pouts with a whine. Tori can't help but smile and she takes Cat's hand,"You're right. I'm sorry. I'll be good if she will." "No chance. Good is boring,"Jade sighs looking at Cat. "We're going to get tattoos!"Cat giggles looking between the two. Tori's eyes widen,"Wait, what?"she asks leaning on the table. "What's the matter Vega? Scared?"Jade teases as she unwraps the brownie and breaks off a piece. "Not scared, just broke,"she lies and looks away. "Go ahead and get a tattoo, I'll pay for it,"She says with a forced half smile, trying desperately to hide her smirk. Cat giggles loudly,"Aww, see you two can get along!"
