�Chapter 8�

�Beck Oliver’s POV�

I felt her arm around my neck and I held her waist.

I kissed her sore and disengaged then looked into her eyes.

She looked down

I chuckled

Me: is she shy?

She nodded

Someone cleared her throat and we looked to see Jade

Jade: now that wasn’t expected

Tori: oops

Jade : it’s a good thing I videoed it.

She brought her phone out

Me&Tori: what?

Jade : I could actually post it on The Slap. com . It would go viral

Me: you shouldn’t do that

Tori walked to her and Jade gave her the phone

Jade : I wont post it yet but I will

I guess five minutes is over. Because everyone is coming back in

Jade : I’ll leave you two alone. For now

She walked away

Me: everything about her scares me

Tori chuckled

Tori: she’s actually the best in the world. She can stand up for her friends, can beat up the president for their sake. Plus, she has a steady mind. Her yes is yes, and her no is no

Me: seems like she’s full of integrity

Tori : she is

Sichowitz : hey you two, come on here

We moved to him

Sichowitz : you two are going to do something for me

Tori: what is it?

Sichowitz : do you know my house?

Me: nope

Tori: no we don’t

Sichowitz : I’ll take you there

Tori: Ok…..aay but why?

Sichowitz : can you do clean up?

Tori: what? I hope you’re not taking us there for clean up

Sichowitz : I’m outta cash, I can’t hire a janitor

Tori: then do it yourself

Sikowitz : I’m very busy with writing scripts and composing dramas plus the ongoing Hollywood Arts auditions

Jade: and you had to choose Tori and Beck to clean up your filthy house

Sichowitz : Jade, I wasn’t talking to you

Jade wanted to say something else but Tori stopped her

Tori: we are not going to your house to do clean up. Find someone else

I tapped her and pulled her aside

Me: Tori, it’s not really bad to help a teacher

Tori: it’s not bad to help a teacher but it’s bad to help him clean his house. And it’s even worse for me to clean a dirty house

I chuckled

Me: you’re cute when you’re serious

Tori: don’t try to make me smile

Me: okay I won’t. But I think we should go to his house. At least see what it looks like. It would be fun for the two of us

She looked aside thinking

Tori: okay, but you’re going to be doing most of the work

Me: will you be watching me?

Tori: maybe

Me: if you’ll be watching, then I’ll gladly do all the work

I made her blush. �

We went back to Sichowitz who was already directing the students on stage

Me: we’ve agreed to go

Sichowitz : superb…

Tori: but don’t disclose it to anyone. I don’t want my reputation ruined

Sichowitz : sure, tomorrow is Wednesday right?

Me: yes

Sichowitz : you’re leaving on Saturday morning and coming back in the evening

Tori: it’s just like detention

Me: but it’s not

She smirked and I held her waist as we watched the students on stage

�Cat Valentine’s POV�

I smiled as I stroke my stuffed giraffe. I call him long neck and it’s a purple and white giraffe

I watched as Tori and Beck acted like real lovers on stage.

Someone tapped me from behind. I looked back and saw that freaky puppet guy again

I frowned

Me: what do you want from me?

He was looking around

Robbie: I’m…. I’m… I’m sorry. I just came to apologize for the other day, about Rex

Rex: yeah, he came to apologize but he’s peeing on his pants right now

Me: eww, that’s disgusting

Robbie : I’m not peeing on my pants. You’re a liar. Liar liar pants on fire

Me: if you came to apologize. You’re forgiven

I bowed like a fairytale princess would

Robbie: really? Thank you so much

He moved closer to me and I immediately went back

The puppet began to laugh

Robbie : I hate you so much

I gasped

Me: you hate me? You hate me so much? You’re so unbelievable!

I frowned and walked away

He screamed after me

Robbie : I’m sorry. I wasn’t talking to you!

But I still went outside and bumped into the black guy

Andre: be careful Cat

Me: my hair is red

Andre: yes I know

Me: I love food

Andre: me too

Me: hahahaha

Andre: why are you laughing?

Me: because you’re so funny

Andre : but I didn’t do anything funny

Me: ohh….

Andre: please, excuse me

He hurriedly walked away

Me: what a weird guy

�Tori Vega’s POV�

Beck and I walked down the hallway. School was already over.

Normally, I would be hurrying out with my friends but today I’m walking out with Beck

I just wish we could talk about the kiss and maybe start something up but he isn’t saying anything about it

Me: Beck, are you going to work today?

Beck: yes. Since today is Tuesday, I’m not going to take my boss out

Me: so it’s just the restaurant today?

Beck: yes

Me: okay

I looked at my shoes as I walked

Beck: your friends are waiting for you. I’m sure you’re supposed to be with them now

I looked up and saw Jade and Cat waiting close to the principal’s office

Me: can we text tonight?

Beck: sure. Bye

Me : bye..

I walked towards them. I was hoping he would call me back and kiss me or hug me before I go but he didn’t

I looked back and he wasn’t there anymore. I sighed sadly and hastened my steps towards my friends

✂Jade West’s POV✂

Cat is bothering me with questions that aren’t even making sense

I’ve warned her to stop but she wouldn’t stop

The only way she’s going to stop is if she’s crying

Cat : Jade, do you think my hair will look better on me if it’s black or maybe brown. Wait… What if it’s blue

I turned to her

Me: what if you don’t even have your hair on your head. And you’re bald headed. It would look so good on you

I brought out my scissors and she gasped and moved back

Me: if you know what’s good for you. Bring your butt down on the floor

She whined

Cat: but it’s cold

Me: I thought you like winter

She jumped up happily

Cat: I love winter. Especially the snowman ⛄ and the fun. I love winter

Me: I like winter because I like to roll rocks into snowballs and throw it at people’s windows or car windows

Cat: why?

Me: because the glass will chatter into many pieces. Many many pieces

Cat: you’re so evil

Me: now sit

Cat: I’m not sitting down here

Me: I said sit!

She screamed and tried to run but I grabbed her hand and shoved my scissors into her middle hair and she screamed loudly when she saw her hair falling

She sat down and began to cry holding the hair that was on the floor

Cat: my hair… my hair…. How could you do this to me? I thought you were my friend

I videoed her as she cried and I was laughing

She looked hilarious

Maybe I should cut her hair more often

I looked up and saw Beck and Tori coming down the hallway. They were a bit far off so they couldn’t hear Cat’s cries

I bent down and patted her hair

Me: I can take you for a haircut if you want

Cat: leave me alone you evil friend

I raised the scissors

She stopped crying

Me: if I was an evil friend, I would have cut your hair from its roots. But I only cut the middle. Your hair can even still be styled

Cat: one day, I’ll cut your hair

Me: that day is yesterday

Cat: but I didn’t cut your hair yesterday

Me: yes you didn’t but you can go to yesterday and cut it

Cat: that’s not possible

Me: good.

I stood and crossed my arms

Me: it’s impossible for you to cut my hair

I looked at Tori, she was now alone but she was looking sad

She walked towards us

Tori: hey! Cat why are you crying?

Cat: Jade did this to my hair!

Tori: what? Jade! Why?

Me: she was bothering me

Tori bent down and arranged Cat’s hair.

Tori: it’s not that bad. We can fix it

She helped her to stand up and they arranged the hair and threw it in the trashcan

Tori held on to Cat and we walked to my car.

They didn’t bring their car today because I went to pick them up

Cat: can we get ice-cream cake?

Me: no!

Tori: yes

Me: Tori, we need to talk

Tori: about what?

I didn’t answer

But Tori and I need to talk

�Andre Harris’ POV�

I sat over my piano in my room, working on my new song when Beck called me

�hey man

�are you at home already?

�yeah. What about you?

�yes I’m at home. I don’t think I can go to work today Andre

�why? Are you sick?

�no, but my boss needs me to come over for some errands to run

�then I’ll work your shift for you

�thanks man. I knew I could count on you

�yeah you can but you owe me ten bucks for it

�ten bucks is little you know

�oh wow, I see Tori’s been spoiling you with some cash

�hahaha, I’m the one who’s supposed to be spoiling her with cash

�but dude. Tell me, do you like that girl?

�maybe

�come-on, admit it

�okay, I like her a lot �

�we’ve got lots of things to talk about man

�we’ll talk in school

�okay, bye

I hung up and dropped my phone

Beck has always been lucky with ladies. He’s the ladies man. I just hope the almighty Tori Vega falls for him

________________________________________

�Trina Vega’s POV�

It’s already time for Tori to come home. I have to get Beck’s phone number from her phone

I need to gain access to her phone and take his number. But how?

She doesn’t keep her phone recklessly anymore.

What I’m I going to do?

I stood up and walked outside, then I came back inside

I was restless. Dad has gone for a contract signing and he’s not back yet. I hope Tori comes home first, so that I can have my way

I heard a car drive in and I ran outside

I groaned in frustration when I saw that it was dad.

I wanted to go back inside but he already saw me

I went to him and helped him with his briefcase �

Me: so dad, how did it go?

Dad: it went well. Where’s Tori?

Me: she’s not yet back

We went inside and I gave him back his briefcase. He raced upstairs and just then, another car drove in. I looked through the window and Tori stepped down, she waved at some people in the car and watched as the car drove off

Thank God the person in the car didn’t come inside.

I hate her but not as much as she hates me

I sat down and acted as if I wasn’t up to something

Tori walked in

Tori: hi, is dad back?

I looked at her and looked back at the TV

Me: yes he’s back. He’s in the kitchen

She strolled towards the kitchen and then she dropped her school bag on the dinning table

I jerked up and ran there, I stealthily opened it and took her phone then ran upstairs to my room.

I closed my door then sat on my bed.

Scrolled through her contact list and saw his name

I quickly texted him using her number

✉I want to see you tonight, by 8pm beside the amusement park along Hollywood street. It’s urgent

The message was sent and I deleted it then transferred his number to my phone.

I did some other things too before I pocketed her phone and went downstairs and dropped the phone on the dinning table then went out

_______________________________________

�Tori Vega’s POV�

I sat on my bed after greeting dad in his room. He wasn’t in the kitchen like Trina said. I guess she just tricked me again

I don’t know why she derives pleasure in doing things like that to me

I laid down on my bed and opened my purse � for my phone. It wasn’t in it. I checked my bag and it wasn’t in it either

Me: where did I keep that phone?

I checked the bed and my drawers. I also checked my dressing table

Me: did I leave it in Jade’s car?

I took my maxi pearpad to track it down.

It was in the house

Me: maybe it’s downstairs

I went down and checked the livingroom and the dinning room

I saw it on the dinning table. I sighed and took it then sat down

I told a housemaid to get me something to drink

I stared at my phone, wanting to call Beck

Me: what if he’s already at work? I’ll be disturbing him

I dropped the phone and took a glass of milk

The maid who brought it had already left but I didn’t take notice

I smiled when my mind took me back to what happened in � school today

Me: Beck kissed me

I saw the mental image and couldn’t help but smile.

I began to imagine us being a couple

We fit each other right?

I really don’t care about his status. I still wish he could be mine in a way

Me: I’m going crazy…..

I laughed happily and took my phone again

Me: maybe I should just hear his voice

I shook my head

Me: I’ll just text him instead

I dropped the glass and sighed deeply, not knowing what to write

I decided to just ask about his work. I searched for his contact but couldn’t find it

I typed BECK but it didn’t appear. I began to wonder if I didn’t save his number with his name

Then I went to check my messages, I scrolled through but couldn’t find the messages we texted each other the previous day

Me: what’s happening?

I began to wonder if something was wrong with my phone

I was really craving to text Beck and now his contact is missing

Me: stupid phone!

I screamed and threw the phone against the wall and it shattered
