Thank you for the reviews, follows, and favorites.
We see the rest of the 'VicTORious' cast in this chapter, but remember it takes place before Tori first attends Hollywood Arts, so she doesn't meet anyone else yet, she just sees them in quick passing.
Disclaimer: I don't 'VicTORious' or 'iCarly', or the characters.
No POV
"You were amazing last night." Shelby tells Tori over the phone, the MMA fighter back in Seattle, getting ready for another pay-per-view fight in a few weeks.
"Thanks." Tori says, smiling over the phone from her room. "I gotta say, thanks to Trina for trying that Chinese herb gargle she told us she found." She says, laughing a bit.
"Yeah." Shelby says, taking a drink from her water bottle. "What happened after the performance? Dad had one his coworkers video tape it and sent it to me. That was all I saw though, just from when you were dragged on stage and up to when the curtain closed." She says, waving bye to her trainer.
"Well, I'm now a student at Hollywood Arts." Tori says, smiling. "The principle came over and talked to me. When he found out I wasn't a student, he offered me a spot. I accepted, and now I'm going to school with André." She says, her excitement noticable in her voice.
"Are you sure you and André aren't a couple?" Shelby asks, standing up and heading to the locker room to shower and change.
"For the last time, André and I aren't a couple. Only good friends." Tori says, sighing.
"Relax. I'm just messing with you." Shelby says, taking her change of clothes out of her bag. "When do you start Hollywood Arts?" She asks, grabbing her body wash and shampoo/conditioner.
"In two days, on Monday." Tori answers. "I got my schedule through e-mail earlier today. I just printed it out and looked up a map online of the school." She says.
"Trina can't show you around?" Shelby asks, closing the locker after grabbing her towel and putting her bag in the locker.
"It's Trina." Tori deadpans.
"Good point." Shelby says with a nod.
"So, what are you up to?" Tori asks, looking over the map and her schedule, trying to figure out the paths to her classes.
"Nothing much. Just about to take a shower. Juan put me through hell to get ready for the next bout." Shelby says, smiling. "Good news about it though. My speed has improved, according to Juan." She says with a shrug of her shoulders.
"That's good I guess." Tori says with an unsure tone. "Call me later. Trina's taking me to Hollywood Arts after lunch. There's a play going on and she's dragging me there." She says, shutting off her laptop and putting the printed out schedule in a folder by her laptop.
"Good luck. Call me when it's done so I know." Shelby says, placing her change of clothes and towel on the small table in the shower room, her shampoo/conditioner and body wash on the small rack in the shower.
"Will do." Tori says, putting her boots on. "Bye sis. Gotta go. Trina's getting impatient." She says, grabbing her house keys and heading out of her room.
"Got it. Love you sis. talk to you later." Shelby says, both girls hanging up.
"What took you so long?" Trina asks Tori when the youngest gets to the bottom of the stairs.
"I was talking to Shelby, and you only told me about the play a little over ten minutes ago. You didn't tell me when we were leaving, just that it was today." Tori says, rolling her eyes. "It's not even for another hour or so I thought?" She asks, staring at her older sister.
"It is. But I want to get there early to talk to Sikowitz." Trina says, grabbing her keys and walking to the door, Tori following.
"Who?" Tori asks, confused as she follows her sister.
"You'll see later." Trina says, unlocking her door. "Try not to get lost without me. I'm not waiting for you when we get there, so if you don't keep up, too bad." She says, starting the car as soon as Tori closes the passenger door.
The five minute drive is filled with Trina singing to a Taylor Swift song, if you can call it singing, and Tori trying to ignore the sounds coming from her sister.
"Wait up!" Tori yells as Trina opens the door and leaves before Tori can even touch the handle.
"I told you I wasn't waiting." Trina calls over her shoulder as she heads into the school.
"Dangit." Tori says, closing the door. "I hate her sometimes." She says, heading into the school.
Walking in, Tori tries to follow Trina, not really paying attention to the lockers and hallway around her. As she walks by, she sees a couple making out by some lockers, noting that the guy is taller than the girl by a head, his hair shoulder length and fluffy, where as the girl in a brunette like Tori, but a slightly lighter shade and with pink stripes in her hair, her clothing dark.
Walking past them, Tori doesn't notice the slight look the guy gives her, his eyes opening when he heard her footsteps. A moment later, Tori walks into the BlackBox theater, walking past the curly haired blonde boy from the Big Showcase the night before who was in charge of the curtain and lights, who doesn't seem to notice her as he's talking to a curly haired dark haired boy with a puppet.
"Took you long enough." Trina says when Tori catches up to her.
"I got lost trying to find this place. I only remembered where it was because of mom and dad mentioning it." Tori says, stopping to catch her breath.
"Hey chicas." André says, walking up to the Vega's with a smile on his face. "Where were you?" He asks Tori as he gives her a hug.
"Trina left me in the parking lot and didn't tell me how to get here." Tori says when she's released from the hug. "You in the play?" She asks the musician, a smile on her face.
"I'm working the music tonight. Not really much of an actor." André says, leading Tori to some of the chairs.
"Cool. I look forward to hearing the music." Tori says, smiling.
"Quit flirting. André, Lane needs to talk to you about something." Trina says, ignoring Andre's and Tori's attempts at saying they weren't flirting.
"See you later Tori." André says, standing up and heading backstage.
"Shelby was right. You two do act like a couple." Trina says, walking by and heading backstage as well.
"We do not!" Tori calls out, getting frustrated at both her sisters saying that.
"Hey Tori." Tori hears from behind her. Turning around, she sees Lane, the guidance counselor, the guy who told them about Trina's tongue last night.
"Hey." Tori says, a little confused. "I thought Trina said you wanted to talk to André?" She asks, using her thumb to point behind her, where Trina and André went backstage.
"No? I didn't say I needed to talk to him." Lane says, confused. "When did Trina say this?" He asks, looking at the curtain that blocks the backstage.
"Like, a minute ago?" Tori says, looking behind her. "That was weird, but then again, it's Trina." She says, rolling her eyes as she looks back at Lane.
"True." Lane says, nodding in agreement. "You staying for the play?" He asks, looking back at Tori.
"I guess. Trina dragged me here." Tori explains, shrugging her shoulders. "Where is Trina? She backstage with André?" He asks her, curious.
"Yeah. She said she had to talk to Sick o wid, or something?" Tori says, forgetting the name.
"Sikowitz?" Lane asks to clarify, smiling when she nods in agreement. "Yeah, she's been trying to get him to let her be the star of the plays. She keeps getting mad when he denies her." He says, laughing. "I gotta go. Hang out. There's plenty of time before the play. Feel free to walk around the school, get used to it." He says, smiling at her. "See you later." He says, walking backstage.
"Guess I'll explore the school." Tori says, shrugging her shoulders.
Hope you liked this chapter. Next chapter will take place between the pilot of 'VicTORious', and 'iParty With VicTORious'. After that, I'll either do the 'iParty With VicTORious' chapters, or a few more from before that. Since the crossover special was filmed between seasons one and two of 'VicTORious', that'll be when I do the chapters.
Has anyone heard about the rumored 'leaked' pics of Victoria Justice and Ariana Grande from over the weekend? Does anyone know if they're real or fake? I've heard a few different views about it, and some people are saying the topless Victoria pics are real, but I don't know. Not trying to be a perv, just curious about the news.
See you next time.
Blessed Be.
