I wasn't going to continue with where the last left off, but I thought it'd be fun to add on to it.
The Jori starts in this chapter. In a way at least.
Thank you for the follows, faves, and reviews.
A few random things. 1: Erik Lange, the actor who portrays Sikowitz, is in a new show on 'ABC'. I don't remember what it's called. All I remember is that it airs on Sundays. 2: In 'Tori Gets Stuck', Tori was wearing Sikowitz's clothes at the end when she fell from the blood loss and Jade stepping aside, making Cat fall with her. I'm re-watching the show, and I was watching that episode as I was typing this up. I've seen the episode multiple times, but I just realized it the last time. I always thought she was wearing her old clothes again, the ones she was wearing at the hospital. And 3: In 'Tori Tortures Teacher', when Sikowitz checks to see if he was wearing underpants after Tori pointed out what he said the second time in Spanish, Beck tried to look from his seat beside Jade.
I point out a lot of weird things, don't I?
Disclaimer: I don't own 'VicTORious', 'iCarly', or the characters.
Tori POV
"Panties!" Shelby yells suddenly while we're eating breakfast, making Trina and I laugh at her and our parents stare at them.
"You need new panties?" Mom asks, staring at Shelby.
"Oh, God." Dad says, looking away. "I don't need to hear this." He says, looking bored and nervous.
"No. Jade said something about hating the 'P' word yesterday before she left, but she wouldn't tell me what word." Shelby says, looking at us. "I've been trying to figure out what word since she left. I finally remembered how she tensed when I said 'panties' yesterday and it clicked." She says excitedly.
"I love you girls, but if I hear one more word about panties, I'm taking an earlier shift at the station." Dad says, rolling his eyes.
"Relax David. You'll be fine." Mom says, laughing. "Why is it such a success that you figured out what she meant?" She asks, looking at Shelby as Trina and I continue to laugh.
"Because she told me to ask Tori about it, and all my lovely twin did was laugh at me." Shelby says, looking at me.
"I thought it'd be funnier if you found out on your own, knowing you tend to freak out when you figure something out." I say, trying not to continue laugh.
"Too bad she didn't realize it during her training today." Trina says, finishing her breakfast.
"Why?" Dad asks cautiously, staring at Trina.
"Could you imagine Shelby yelling out 'panties' during her training? We all know Juan would probably freak out, and Rod would simply stare at her." Trina says, taking her plate, fork, and glass to the sink and putting them in the tub of soapy water.
"Oh, that would be awesome." I say in agreement, taking my plate, fork, and glass to the sink with Trina's. "If we got that on video, we could send it in to 'America's Funniest Home Videos' and win a thousand bucks." I say, making Trina and our parents laugh as Shelby stares at me.
"We should go before Shelby kicks your head off." Trina says, noting the glare on Shelby's face.
"Jade's are scarier." I note, grabbing my bag and following Trina out the door. "Bye mom. Bye dad. Bye Shelby." I say over my shoulder.
"You're just saying that because you love her." Trina says when we get to her car.
"Love who?" I ask as we get into her car, putting my seat belt on.
"Jade. You've been wanting to make out with her since before the party at Kenan's house." Trina says as she buckles her seat belt and puts the key in the ignition.
"What now?" I ask, staring at her as she pulls away.
"Please. It's as obvious as me being the better performer." Trina says, turning her radio on.
With the volume of the radio, she misses me saying 'So not obvious at all?'. Looking to the front, ignoring Trina attempting to sing to the random pop song on her PearPad, I can't help but think about what she said about it being obvious that I like Jade.
I've liked her for a while, since I helped her get back with Beck the first time to be honest, but I haven't realized it until a while ago.
I hope she was wrong about it being obvious. At least Jade doesn't know. I hope.
"Hey, pay attention." Trina tells me, turning the music down of the radio.
"What?" I ask, looking at her.
"How come you didn't tell me about Beck asking you out yesterday?" Trina asks, a hint of jealousy in her voice.
"You didn't ask." I respond, glad Shelby filled me in last night after I got home. "Besides, I turned him down in the name of our friendship." I say, remembering what Shelby told me she said as me when Beck was over.
"I know you want to recreate the lesbian porno version of 'The Scissoring' with Jade, but if someone as hot as Beck asks you out, you say yes. Even if it's just to talk Beck into asking me out when you fail." Trina says as we pull into the school's parking lot.
"I do not!" I yell, glaring at her as I unbuckle my seat belt and open the door.
"Your moaning a few nights ago tells a different story." Trina whispers to me before heading into school with a laugh.
"You were spying on me!?" I yell, chasing after her.
"You know I have to take a hot shower at six thirty every morning with your body scrub so my dry skin doesn't accumulate and my skin remains oil free." Trina says, walking past me.
"That body scrub cost me almost ten bucks." I say, walking up to her.
"Not my fault you keep it in the open." Trina says, opening the double doors leading to the locker hallway.
"I hide it in my closet in the box of pictures of you when you were seven and you fell into that bush of poison ivy and were red and bumpy for weeks." I say, following her.
"You need to burn those, by the way." Trina says, walking past me again and heading for her locker.
"What's up Tori?" Andre says, walking over to me.
"I want to kill Trina and hide her body in the desert." I say with a groan, heading for my locker.
"What'd she do this time?" Andre asks, amused, by my usual response when Trina does something to make me mad.
"You remember that body scrub I bought for myself when I made you go shopping with me because Cat couldn't make it and Jade would insult me every second?" I ask, opening my locker and grabbing my books.
"That day was horrifying. No man should walk into a lingerie store and have his best friend ask him his advice." Andre says with a groan, looking down.
"Says the man who got the number of every female employee and some of the customers for being the best friend a girl could have?" I ask sarcastically as I put my books in my locker.
"Shut up." He says with a proud smile, remembering the numbers, which I'm sure he still has, of all the pretty women who gave him their number that day. "Anyway, what about the body scrub?" He says, shaking his head a bit.
"She's been using it and hiding it back in the pile of pics she hates without me knowing, knowing I won't use it until I finish the body wash I have now." I say, closing my locker, seeing Jade and Cat walk in from over Andre's shoulder. "She knows I hate when she does that." I say, leaning against the locker beside mine as I talk to him, the position letting me see Jade at her locker while looking like I'm focused on Andre. Yes, I've got it bad.
"I told you to put it in a lock box behind the clothes Trina hates." Andre says with a laugh.
"Put what in a lock box?" We hear from behind me. Turning around, I stop momentarily when I see Beck looking at us with curiosity.
"You don't want to know. I beg of you, don't ask." Andre says, shaking his head.
"It can't be worse than Jade making me buy her tampons because 'it's my duty as the boyfriend'." Beck says, staring at Andre.
"She actually made you do that? How embarrassing was that?" I ask, the supposed awkwardness I was supposed to be feeling from him asking 'me' out temporarily gone.
"Very." Beck says, slowly looking to me. "What made it worse was she knew the lady who worked at the story she always sent me and would tell her to embarrass me every time." He says, shaking his head side to side. "Can't say I'll miss it." He chuckles.
"What's with you two?" Andre asks when I remember how I'm supposed to ask a moment after Beck told us the story.
"Nothing." I say, using my acting skills to pretend I'd be awkward around Beck, my voice raising a bit and my body jerking the way I usually do.
"Tell me or I tell Sikowitz about your crush and have him pair you two up more." Andre threatens, crossing his arms.
"Tell and I tell every girl in school you like Trina." I counter, staring at him.
"That's cold, Tori." Beck says while trying not to laugh as Andre looks at me with fear in his eyes.
"Someone's been learning to be Jade." Andre mumbles as he walks away.
"So, about last night." Beck starts nervously when we hear Andre play a few keys on his piano locker to open it.
"It's fine." I say quickly, turning to face him. "Don't mention it." I say with a small, nervous smile.
"I am sorry." Beck says, combing his hair back with his hand. "I didn't mean to assume you like me, and I'm sorry if me asking you out makes things awkward between us." He says, repeating himself from last night by what Shelby told me.
"I already told you, we'll be fine." I say, shifting nervously. "Let's just forget about it, okay?" I ask, staring at him.
"Okay." Beck says with a small smile. "Did you hear that Sikowitz has everything ready for the play and wants us to start getting everything set up already?" He asks, changing the subject.
"Already? That was fast." I say, shrugging my shoulders.
"Apparently, he started working on it after he told us he'd get the script edited and finished." Beck says, looking over me, his body tensing slightly. "He forgot because of all the coconut milk he drinks. I got to go, see you in class." He says quickly, walking past me and going towards his locker.
"That was weird." I note, turning around as he walks past. "Oh, hey Jade." I say nervously when I see the glare in her eyes.
"I thought you turned him down last night? Why were you talking to him just now?" Jade asks, going along with what she witnessed last night and going under the assumption Shelby filled me in.
"I did turn him down last night, and we were just talking. Nothing else." I say, trying to soothe her.
"What were you talking about?" Jade asks with a glare.
"Uh, why do you care? You broke up, and I turned him down and I don't intend to say yes to a date with Beck." I say, staring at her.
"None of you damn business Vega." Jade says, walking away.
'Why are my friends acting weird today? I'm half expecting Cat to be the most intelligent person in Hollywood Arts and Robbie to be more of a ladies man than Beck and Andre combined or something.' I think to myself as I head to Sikowitz's class.
Walking towards Sikowitz's, I look around the corner when I hear Cat talking the way she usually does.
"My brother once got bit by a snake and his best friend had to suck the venom out." Cat says, bouncing in her spot outside of Sikowitz's door in front of Robbie.
"Where did he get bit by a snake?" Robbie asks, staring at the energetic redhead.
"It bit him in the butt." Cat whispers with a giggle.
'Well, at least they're still normal.' I think to myself, heading over. "Morning Cat, Robbie." I say as I near them.
"Hi Tori." Cat says, hugging me tightly as Robbie stares at the spot Cat was standing in, a shocked look on his face, most likely by the story Cat just told him. "My brother got bit by a snake and his best friend had to suck the venom out." She says, releasing me from the hug. "It was awkward, he got bit in the butt." She says, whispering the last word.
"That's some friend." I say with a small smile, glad I never met her crazy brother.
"Yeah." Cat says with a giggle, heading into class.
"How did the snake bite his butt?" Robbie asks as I head into class, ignoring the way Rex groans.
That's it for this. To make it clear, I said the Jori started because of not only Tori admitting that she likes Jade and admitting she has for a while but not exactly accepting it, but also Jade getting jealous of Tori and Beck talking to each other, especially after knowing what happened the night before.
To explain Cat telling the story about her brother twice, it's because she didn't know Tori overheard her telling Robbie.
Thank you for reading, and please review.
Blessed Be.
