Tori's POV:

Its the first day of junior year at Hollywood Arts. Nina and I are eating breakfast as Trina rushes around the house to get ready.

"Why couldn't you get ready the night before?" I ask.

"Because I was too busy picking out an outfit!" She replies.

"Surprise, surprise." Nina mutters. I'm the only one that here her so I chuckle.

"Okay, kids! Time for school!" Mom claps her hands.

"Okay!" Us three say.

"Hey, are you guys sure you don't want me to take you?" Trina asks.

"I am not making that mistake again." I put my dish in the sink and grabbed my bag.

"And I'm not going to make that mistake. Besides, I'm taking my drivers test this weekend, remember? Dad already gave me his old pick-up truck for my 16th birthday." Nina points out.

She grabs her bag and we link arms. "Bye, Mom!"

Then we leave for school.

"So, can I see your schedule?" I ask.

"Yeah, here." Nina hand me the folded paper from her pocket.

I look at it and see we have all classes together except for dance.

"We have all classes together except for after lunch which is dance." I smile.

"Sweet!"

I hand Neens her paper back and she puts it back in her pocket. Then my phone buzzes. I take out my blue pear phone that says Tori on the back cover and unlock it. It's a text from Andre.

Andre: Hey, Tori! My grandma decided to stay home with my aunt so I can drive to school alone for the next month! Need a lift?

Me: Yeah sure! We're just a block away from your house.

I hit send and look at Nina. "Andre is finally able to drive alone since his aunt is visiting. He's gonna give us a ride."

She nods and we hear a car honk.

"Hey Tori, Nina!" I hear Andre call.

And right there in the road, in his grey car, is Andre. He is a great artist and we have sung songs.

"Hey, Andre!" Nina says before she gets into the back seat.

"Hey, Ninny!"

Then her smile disappears into a frown as she puts on her seatbelt. I get into gunshot, trying to forget. Then we are off.

Nina's POV:

I open my plain, gray locker, which is next to Cat's, and put my stuff inside.

"So, do you like it here so far?" She asks.

"Of course I do! The only history I need to learn about is the arts which I love!" I reply.

I take my books for the first few periods before lunch.

"What are you gonna decorate your locker?" Cat asks as we make our way to Tori's locker.

"Its a surprise." I smile. "Come on, Tori! We gotta get to class. Sikowitz to be exact."

Tori chuckles and closes her locker. "Yeah, okay. But, what was that in Andre's car when he called you Ninny?"

Great. Now I have to explain. It sounds kind of weird.

"Because, he reminded me of Eddie. He used to all me Ninny before I moved in with you guys and he left for England." I answer. "But that's only when boys say that."

"Okay. Well, lets go!" Tori shuts her locker and us three girls go to Sikowitz's class.

We reach Sikowitz's room and sit in our seats.

"Hey, Nina." Jade greets.

"Hey, Jade." I smile.

What's weird about Jade and I is that we're actually friends. It was probably because I've kinda picked up on Patricia's attitude. Then a hippi with barely any hair and no shoes walks in.

"Hello and welcome back to Hollywoos Arts! My name is Sikowitz and I'm going to be your acting teacher for the year."

He's our teacher? Cool!

"I spy a new student sitting in between Tori and Cat with my little thigh." He looks at me.

"Thigh?" I ask.

"Yes. I see with my thighs. New student?"

I nod. Sikowitz motions me up on stage and I follow.

"Students this is...um..."

"Nina Martin." I finish.

"Yes. Nina Martin. Most of you seem to know her by the way my usual suspects are smiling. Even Jade."

He's right. Beck, Tori, Robbie, Cat, Andre, and Jade are smiling. I smild back and sit back down. My smile hasn't faded through the whole class. I love it here!

Eddie's POV:

I hate it here! Its so boring and sappy and depressing now that everyone knows about Nina. Its the first day of school. Which means, Amber will be questioning the break up. Yeah, no more Peddie. Its over. After Patricia left America and broke it off, Nina was there for me and I kinda started to have feelings for her but she's dating Fabian. Well, not anymore. Nina told me she broke up with Fabian in a letter she told me to give him and I might...have...lost it. But, in the meantime, I printed out a fake one.

Anyway, I got ready for school and head for the dining room. Everyone is already there and so glum. Especially Amber. Oh yeah! Its her birthday and we're pretending we forgot. Though, I believe that Alfie actually did forget. I sit down at the head of the table and get myself some cereal.

"How can you eat?" Fabian mutters.

I look up with my mouth full of Cheerios.

"What?"

He shakes his head. "Nothing."

I look around and see everyone looking at me. I put my spoon down, grab my bag, and leave for school.
