A/N: Last little bit before I reach back in my archives... dang I have written a lot of unposted stuff.

Tori plays it straight

I agonized for a long time for a gift for Trina's birth week. Shelby gave her this outfit that only Shelby could afford. I had bought the Fazzini boots, and Trina had bought herself the exact same pair. So when Andre had given me the idea for the song, it was just the most perfect thing. I loved Trina so much, but of course, she was a little self-possessed and why does she need the gift to cost money?

"I think the song was great," Shelby said sitting next to me later that evening.

"Thanks, Shelby, but it's whatever. Now I need to come up with something for the Full Moon Jam coming up in a couple of weeks."

"So… Andre's really cute," Shelby said I smirked.

"Oooh… too bad you are never here to get a piece of that," I answered.

She stuck her tongue out at me. And placed her head on my shoulder.

Later that week there was a party at Hollywood Arts. and Cat brought her new Boyfriend. Daniel… from Sherwood. I lost it. I was afraid he was going to out me to my friends. I am not comfortable enough with these people to be out yet. So I did the next logical thing… I dumped hot cheese all over Cat.

I apologized profusely. I didn't know what came over me. But Jade thought it was hilarious and again I was tongue-tied. What was it about this girl that just drives me insane?

Maybe I needed to Just try with boys. That Ryder Daniels seemed to be into me and I thought, why not. But my friends and my sisters both didn't think it was right. Turned out he was trying to use me for a grade. So all of my friends including Jade if you could call her my friend, helped me get rid of him.

Oh and then there was Steven. I met him at the farmer's market. He was in town visiting his father for the month, and he convinced me that I was lovable. And I thought maybe with him I could be happy.

After three months of dating, we were still going strong. And Andre came to us excited. He met Keenan Thompson and he told him he could throw a party at his house!

When we walked into the humongous house, Steven said. "Come on, let's go find somewhere for our hundred-day Kiss." and we disappeared. We found our closet and were making out. And I kinda needed to know if Sex with a boy was something I wanted to do often. So we did it… Maybe I needed to try again.

At any rate, we emerged from the closet and he gave me this cute Charm bracelet. It was sweet. Then Carly from iCarly was there. She Knows my sister Shelby, but she didn't say anything. So I didn't mention it at all. But what she did tell me was that Steven was a cheater.

So we lured him into the closet we had just fucked in, and exposed him for the cheater he was. I am never dating a boy again.

The next day I just planted myself on the couch after taking all the vigorous showers I could take in a day. I needed to scrub the Steven off of me. I just binged some Drake and Josh. Shelby walked into the house just then and she looked at me.

"Carly told me what happened." She said and sat down.

"You mean you didn't see us humiliate Steven online like a million other people?"

"I thought you didn't like guys." She said

"I don't…" I answered. "Not anymore."
