It's Monday morning, weekend has gone by and Tori is rushing through school. She's holding her cellphone in her hand and is enthusiast about what she found out about the mystery guy last Friday and can't wait to tell Maya about it. After passing Maya's locker for the fourth time Tori stops for a second, she finally sees Maya standing in front of it and is running over to her.Z
Tori: Maya, Maya! I have to show you something! You won't believe what I discovered last Friday.
Maya is getting some books out of her locker
Maya: There you are, sorry I didn't answer any of your calls last weekend. My mom took away my phone since I was late home Friday and when I got my phone back, I saw you had something urgent to say, but first we have to talk.
Tori: The talk can wait because first I have to show you..
Maya: No, it can't. Look I should had said this sooner to you but I couldn't, about last Friday at school..
Tori: Maya wait, I..
Maya: Zig totally shouldn't had called you dumb and should had stand up for you as a good friend should've done.
Tori: Agree, but..
Maya: At least I should had gone after you when you stormed off. Because who cares if you lack intelligence for strategy's, it't not your fault, besides we're friend and I had to act like one sooner..
Tori: Maya listen I have to show., wait. Lacking intelligence?
Maya: Maybe that didn't came out that well.. but you know what I mean, right?
Tori: Right..
Maya locks her locker
Maya: Soooo.. friends?
Tori: Uhm yeah, sure. Best friends!
Maya: I'm glad I have your back Tor.
Maya hugs Tori, while hugging Tori looks at the picture she took Friday from Campbell's locker on her phone that she wanted to tell Maya, but decides to put it back in her pocket.
Maya: Soo, there was something you wanted to tell me?
Tori: Yes! I uhm.. just wanted to.. ask you if I could.. borrow your notes for french homework that we got on Wednesday? I.. forgot mine homework home. And I forgot to take me books home from my locker.
Tori fakes laugh a bit
Tori: Silly me!
Maya: Yeah sure, I have them right here. But that was the thing you spammed me for on my phone, for some notes? I expected something more important...
Maya hands over Tori her notes
Tori: Nope, just wanted to borrow your notes, thanks!
Maya: No problem? OH and hey, if you still want to join me and Zig in out search of that guy that was stalking me, you can always ask. To bad that Tristan chickened out, but we actually could use your help. At lunch we have a meeting to talk about our discoveries, and I'm sure Zig also wants your back.
Tori: I'm sure you two will..
Maya: What?
Tori: Never mind, but unfortunately I have to... focus more on school? You know, no homework.., lower grades.., especially for France?
Maya: France..? What are you talking about? Last week you scored a A+ on our last pop quiz?
Tori: Yeah.., but you know me, the higher, the better!
Maya: The higher, the better? You got an A+, how do you want to go higher then..
Tori looks back on her phone to the picture of the locker and has gotten an idea.
Tori: I know it!
Maya: .. know what?
Tori: oh, uhm nothing. I promised Mr Simpson to meet him in his office before school stars that's about to start in... 15 minutes.
Tori walks away from Maya and is on her way to Simpsons office
Maya: Simpson? Should I be worried..?
Tori: Nope, don't worry about me I'll be fine, I'll see you in class!
Maya: Okay!?
Maya looks confused to Tori until she walks away to her first class of the day.
Campbell walks at the parking lot of Degrassi towards school that's about to start in 10 minutes.
?: Campbell!
Campbell looks startled behind him until noticing it's Jenna, who's running over to him
Jenna: I was looking for you every...
Campbell fast hold his hand on Jenna's mouth until she stopped talking
Cam: SHHHHT. I told you, call me Noah not.. u know.
Jenna: Oh right, sorry. Well to cheer you up, I bought us coffee! Even know I wasn't sure if you would life Coffee, but I though hey,
Campbell stops listening and is focusing on a car that's slowly about to pas them. Campbell looks in the open window of the car, to the driver and when the driver makes eye contact with him, Campbell fast grabs Jenna and ducks behind a parked car in front of them while the coffee falls all over the ground.
Jenna: What the..!
Campbell keeps holding Jenna behind the car until he's sure the car passed them
Jenna: Look, if you didn't like coffee you also could told me instead of..
Campbell: No no, it wasn't the coffee really. It was just that car...
Jenna: .. You mean that black one?
Campbell: Yeah, I know it sounds odd but it was exact the same car that followed me everywhere back in Kapuskasing after I returned home.
Jenna: Your sure? Your hometown is far, far away. Maybe it was just a other car that looked like that one?
Campbell: Nope, I'm sure.. I recognize the face of the driver from it everywhere.
Cambell: By the way, is my wig still fine? How does it look?
Jenna: ..Lovely.
Jenna: But so.. you know him?
Campbell: Not personally. He was stalking me. My mom said I should stayed far a way from him since he could be a hitman that wants to take me down. But how the hell did he know that I'm moved back to Degrassi!? I though I lost him back in Kapuskasing!
Jenna: Well.. not to make you scare or anything, really, but.. you did said that your brother got shot, right?
Campbell: Yeah..?
Jenna: Maybe, and just maybe, they figured out that you're not dead after all..?
Campbell's face turns pale and starts to look more worried that he already was
Jenna: ..But hey, how big are the odds, right..? Let's just forget about him, and the coffee, and head back to school, okay!
Jenna continues walking toward school and after a worried look at his back, Campbell decides to follow Jenna.
Someone knocks on a door
?: Come in.
It's Tori who came to Mr. Simpsons office to see him
Tori: Mr. Simpson, can I talk to you for a second?
Mr. Simpson: Victoria, of course take a seat, what can I do for you? You didn't do anything bad, did you?
Tori is sitting in front of Simpson
Tori: What..? Oh no. I just uhm.. lost my locker combination.
Mr. Simpson: You lost your locker combination, after 8 months, nearly at the end of the school year?
Tori: Yeah, I guess the stress for the exams made my forget it or something, silly me. So I was wondering if I could take a look in that binder what we had to sign to receive our locker combination at the beginning of this school year... Do you know where I can find it?
Mr Simpson: It's save and well hidden in the lowest drawer of my desk.
Tori: Great! So can I look in it?
Simpson laughs a bit
Mr. Simpson: No need to search through all those pages. Degrassi is all digital now, which means I can look it up at my computer in a matter of seconds. I just have to search for your last name.. Santamaria..
Tori: But Mr. Simpson..
Mr. Simpson: 31, 16, 25
Tori: I eh..
Mr. Simpson: Your locker combination. That was where you were looking for, right?
Tori: Uh.. yes! Thank you very much sir.
Tori stands up
Mr. Simpson: No problem now get back to your class before you get too late. Oh and Tori,
Tori: Yes Mr. Simpson..?
Mr. Simpson: Don't forget your locker combination anymore okay? And good luck with your exams.
Tori: I wont, and tanks sir..
Mr. Simpson: Have a nice day.
Tori: You to..
Tori walks out of Mr. Simpsons office, figuring out what to do next..
The school bell rings, it's 12:00, lunchtime at Degrassi. Tori just bought her food and is heading over to the table where Maya and Zig are sitting, discussing and eating lunch.
Maya: Okay so, what you've got?
Zig: Well.. not much. I talked to those goth kids where that guy used to hang out with, or whatever you called talking. They were very quiet and looked at me and each other like if I were crazy or something.
Maya: So you got nothing?
Zig: They did said that they barely hang out with him anymore but when they did he was very silence. Oh and they said that if he did said a world that it was most likely about sports where they didn't gave a crap about. How about you?
Maya: Literally nobody knows his name. So it was impossible to search him online, and I checked like every Facerange profile of the school, I saw nobody has him as a friend so I guess he doesn't has Facerange. I only know from a Muslim girl that Jenna hangs out with that beneath the guys sunglasses he has brown eyes which swhe noticed when he bumped in to her apparently. Sure you don't know anything more about him Zig?
Zig: Nope.
Maya: Great, so we know that he has brown eyes and loves sports. That only leaves like 2 billion people on this world left.
Zig: Who said that he comes from this world?
Maya: Funny.
Tori: Hey guys!
Zig: Hey baby.
Maya: Hi.
Tori: Soo where are you guys talking about, and where is Tristan?
Zig: Oh nothing.
Maya: We we're just discussing about our former plan about that mystery guy, that completely failed by the way. Oh and Tristan stayed with the English teacher for some question or something. But about the mystery guy we need a new plan.
Tori: Ohw.. bummer
Zig: I know! How about we interrogate that Jenna girl? She seems quit close with that guy.
Maya: Nah, already tried it. She lied to me that they were relatives, remember?
Zig: Oh.. right.
Maya: How about we follow him like he followed me and see if we can find any information about him. Track down where he lives, maybe even break in his house if we need to.
Tori: Break in, that's it!
Maya: That's it what..?
Tori: Oh, nothing. I ehh.. have to go to the restroom. Could you watch my lunch?
Maya: Wait I could go with y..
Tori: Thanks!
Tori runs away
Maya: Or not..?
Zig: Hey Maya?
Maya: ?
Zig: Is it like.. rude to think that your girlfriend acts weird..?
Maya: You mean Tori? I don't know I kinda agree with you.. This morning at my locker she act so strange..
Zig: To me all the weekend! She hasn't said a word or text, or anything! Am I doing something wrong Maya?
Maya: What? No Zig! I just think she has something on her mind or something, like the exams?
Zig: Or another guy...
Maya: Zig! You know Tori isn't like that.
Zig: Yeah.. I guess your right.
Maya: But so, your joining me after school to follow that guy?
Zig: Sure..
Maya: Great!
Maya and Zig continue eating their lunch together while Zig is thinking about what's up with Tori..
Tori is talking to Tristan in front of the English classroom after pulling him out of class
Tori: Come on Trist!
Tristan: No Tori! I'm not breaking in into Mr. SImpson's office. Do you know what he would do with us if we get caught? I don't want to get expelled. Plus I already told Maya I don't want get any involved in this Mystery Guy nonsense. Acting for the school musical goes for gothic guys.
Tori: That's exactly why I asked you, You're not helping Maya and Zig, I kinda don't want them to know about this. Come on Trist, do it for me!
Tristan: No Tori! I have to go back now in class before lunch is over. But however I do know something that might can help you..
Tori: ..who?
A guy is weightlifting at the schools gym with his back at Tori
?: You've came to the right address
The guy stops and turns around to get a towel, the guy is Tristan's brother Owen.
Owen: But the question is, how much are you prepared to pay for it?
Tori: Uuuhm.. ten bucks?
Owen: fifty
Tori: Twenty!
Owen: Deal, Twenty it is. I already would've done it for five. But so, what's the full plan?
Tori: You don't even want to know about the reason behind it?
Owen: Nope, I don't care about the reason, just about the plan you want to accomplish.
Tori: Okay, well.. My plan was to break in at Mr. Simpson's office at night to get some information about..
Owen: Okay stop there.
Tori: ?
Owen: We're not breaking in at Simpson's office at night.
Tori: What? If you want to get pay you..
Owen: INSTEAD we will break in daytime, during school times.
Tori: Do you really think that..
Owen: MY POINT IS, we don't need to break in at night, it will leave evidence if we break a window or something, all we need is a divergent.
Tori: A divergent?
Owen: Yeah you know, distraction? At the middle of the day that will give you enough time to get what you need?
Tori: Okay.. I see. But what will that distraction be?
Owen: Just leave that to me. Just meet me in front of his office after lunch when nobody's in the hallway at 12:35. Trust me.
Tori: Uuh.. okay..? Thanks!?
Tori walks away
Owen: Oh, and don't forget my money!
While it's lunchtime at Degrassi and most of the students are enjoying their lunch outside or in the cafeteria, Campbell didn't felt hungry at all and decided to practice hockey at the second gym of Degrassi. After a formidable goal Campbell goes wild without noticing coach Armstrong behind him.
Armstrong: You've got quit some skills son.
Campbell startled and immediately puts his hockey stick on the ground and stops playing
Campbell: I... I'm so sorry.. I'll go now.
While Campbell is planing on walking out, Armstrong stopped him from doing so
Armstrong: It's okay, you don't have to apologize for practicing? I like to see my students putting their effort in sports, however I don't think I have you as a student? What's your name?
Campbell: Uuuhm.. Noah! Noah Newman sir.
Armstrong: Well Noah, I like what I saw. You've got some seriously talent what our hockey team really could need at this time. So if you like to you could join the tryouts?
Campbell: I ehhh.. that's very kind of you, but ehh.. I can't.
Campbell walks away
Armstrong: Can I ask you why exactly you can't?
Campbell stops
Campbell: uh.. personal issues.
Armstrong: Oh.. well, if you change your mind, feel free to join us tomorrow at the ice rink for the tryouts before school. 7 AM. We really could use somebody like you.
Campbell stand still and thinks for a moment but continues walking
Tori waits anxious in front of Simpson's office. She looks at her phone, it's 12:34. She all around her before seeing Owen and Dallas walking by
Tori: There you are, where the hell have you been? And why is he here..?
Dallas: Also hello?
Owen: Because we need him, oh and I promised him you would've paid him 10 bucks afterwards, or is that a problem?
Tori: No, I don;t care, so what's the plan?
Owen: Just get ready to sneak in and do what you have to do, okay honey?
Tori: I'm not your honey, an how do you think your supposed to..
Owen pushes Dallas against the office door
Owen: That's for what you did at hockey practice this morning!
Dallas pushes Owen against the lockers behind them
Dallas: And that's for being ugly? It's not my fault the coach thinks I'm better then you.
The two are in a struggle while Mr. Simpsons stroms out of his office
Mr. Simpson: What's wrong with you two!? There is a 0% intolerance policy at Degarssi.
Owen and Dallas are running after eatch other with Mr. Simpson following them
Mr. Simpson: Stop! Don't you dare to running away fr..
Tori takes he chance and storms in Mr. Simpson's office. She kneels behind his desk and throws the binder with information about the lockers out of the drawer on the desk and goes trough it.
Tori: 1-28, 1-37, 1-49, come on, come on...
Tori keeps looking at the office door, she knows Simpson can come back any second
Tori: 1-66, 1-67, BINGO! Locker 1-68!
Tori: And the owner of Cams old locker is... a guy called Noah Newman, got ya!
Tori looks further in the binder
Tori: That's weird, he has the same birthday as Cam? And the same place of staying he had!?
Tori hears Simpson heading back to his office. With out hesitation she makes a photo of the page with her cellphone and puts it back in the drawer. She runs on time out of Simpsons office seconds before he walks in holding Owen and Dallas at their shoulders.
Mr. Simpson: You two got a lot of nerf for act like that, just wait till I call your parents.
Tori: Mr. Simpson closes the door.
Tori stands at the corner of the hallway looking at the picture she took, until she realized that she's late for class and runs towards her classroom.
To be continue..
