Brittany's POV
I was in The Blackbox watching Andre and Cat doing a scene for acting class. Cat was acting as a woman who has a spider near her eyeball, threatening her life. Andre acting as a doctor who was trying to help her.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow. I'm so scared." Cat whimpered with her hand placed on her eye.
"Try to relax. Everything is going to be alright." Andre reassured.
"You have to get me to a doctor." Cat said.
"Shhh if that spider bites your eyeball you could die in minutes." Andre said.
"Oh man, please get it off my eye." Cat begged.
If this was real, shouldn't the spider have already bitten her eye?
"I'm going to try," Andre said. "Now shhhh. Don't move, and don't make a sound." He said as he put the tweezers closer to her.
Suddenly, a phone started ringing loudly, scaring everyone, including Sikowitz. Cat pushed Andre's hand away from her face. The sound nearly gave me a heart attack. I placed a hand on my chest, and felt my heart racing from the loud, unexpected noise.
"Oh, man, the ringing is back!" Sikowitz exclaimed.
"Sikowitz!" I said which got his attention after a few other people said his name.
"Yes?"
"That was a phone." Robbie said.
Sikowitz crossed his arms. "Whose?" He asked.
"Mines." Tori said as she awkwardly put her hand up.
"Tori!" Sikowitz said.
"I swear, I thought I had it on vibrate." She said.
"Class is no place for swearing or violating." Sikowitz said.
"Maybe we should start the scene over." Andre said in his foreign accent.
"Can we?" Cat asked.
"No, Cat, it's too late. By now, that spider would've bitten your characters eyeball and you'd be dying an spastic, painful, death." Sikowitz said as he gave Cat the props back.
"Thanks a lot, Tori." Cat said.
"Well, we have about 4 minutes left. Why don't we chat about our weekend plans? Robbie, I assume you have none." Sikowitz said.
Robbie studdered with his words. "I don't.'' He admitted.
"Rex...''
"I'm going to par-tay with a couple of girls from Northridge." He said.
"Northridge girls? That should be an adventure." Sikowitz said.
"Heh, heh, what can I say?" Rex laughed.
"Hey, guess what Jade, Brittany, and I are doing tonight," Cat said with a smile. No one said anything. "There's this new place in Los Feliz. It's called "Karaoke Dokie," and they singing competitions on the weekends do Jade, Brittany, and I are going to do a song." She said.
"I'm picking the song.'' Jade spoke up.
"Jade's picking the song." Cat repeated.
"Can Rex and I come sing too?" Robbie asked.
"Sure." Cat said.
"I told you I got the Northridge girls!" Rex protested.
"They can come watch." Robbie said.
"Aw, man, then, they're gonna want us to buy them food and beverages." Rex said.
I mean he has a point.
They're Northridge girls.
It's what they do.
Lucas used to go to Northridge, so I was always around Northridge girls who were always flirting with him. And because of this, we would have to dress in disguise so they wouldn't notice us.
"So?" Robbie asked.
"They're from Northridge. I don't wanna spend money on them." Rex said.
"Aw, I wish I could go to Karaoke Dokie.'' Tori said, disappointed.
"Why can't you?" Beck asked.
"Who cares why she can't?" Jade asked.
The jealousy is kicking in.
"I was wondering why she-" Beck started.
"What, you need Tori around to have a good time? Is that your point?" Jade asked, cutting Beck off.
"Dude-"
"What?"
"Jade! You're lucky to have Beck, don't be such a gank." Sikowitz said.
"So, why can't you come?" I asked.
"Aw, Trina's getting her dumb wisdom teeth out today, and guess who get to spend the entire weekend taking care of her?" Tori asked.
"Okay, um, is it someone famous?" Cat asked.
Tori gave her a look. "No. Me." She replied.
"Why can't your parents take care of her?" Andre asked.
"Cause they're gonna be in Santa Barbara."
"What for?" I asked.
"So they don't have to take care of Trina."
"Can't blame them." Beck shurgged.
"Shucks to be you." Jade added.
"Gank."
The bell rang and Sikowitz started screaming, and freaking out again.
"Now, who's phone is that?" He asked.
"That's the bell." Andre said.
"Oh, byeee."
___
We were at Karaoke Dokie and Robbie and Rex was singing.
Not gonna lie, they were really good.
Robbie:
Move your body right next to mine
Rex:
Feel the beat and we're lost in time
Robbie:
I'm yours now you are mine
Rex:
Forever
Robbie:
Baby
Rex:
All I think of is what you do
Robbie:
Never gonna let go of you
Rex:
Ment for me and I'm ment for you
Robbie;
Forever
Rex:
Baayy-beeeee
Once they were done, the crowd clapped for them.
"Thank you, guys. Very much." Robbie said.
"That was for my two ladies from Northridge, Christy and Bella," Rex said. "Give em some love." He added. Everyone but Lucas and me clapped for them.
I hated Northridge girls.
"I'm gonna get a soda." Jade said.
"Get me one?" Andre asked.
"No." Jade replied, as she walked away.
"She can be a gank." Andre said.
"You have no idea." Beck said.
"Okay, what about Robbie and Rex huh? One of the most amazing ventriloquist acts I've ever seen." The DJ said.
Everyone clapped for them.
Rex wasn't the best thing to be around, but sometimes I think he's more than just a plastic doll. 3 girls walked up to us and sat down with smiles.
One with brown hair.
One with blonde hair.
And one with black hair.
The one with brown sat down where Jade was sitting and looked at Beck. "First time here?" She asked as she took his drink, and took a sip. Beck looked around him, either searching for Jade, or another person behind him. Then, he turned back to the girl.
"Um, yeah." Beck said.
"If you get nervous, I'll hold your hand." The girl said, while rubbing the back of his hand. Me and Cat looked at each other, and shrugged.
"I get nervous when my brother eats things that aren't food," Cat said randomly. She doesn't understand her brother's situation. "Seriously, I think he eat my charm bracelet." She added.
"What's your name?" The blonde girl asked.
"Andre." Andre replied.
"That's hot." She replied quickly.
"All right."
"What about you, cutie?" The black haired girl said to Lucas who looked super uncomfortable. I place his arm around my shoulders while glaring at her.
"His name is Lucas, and he is taken." I said. She hesitated, and backed off. She seemed almost annoyed, and it was funny to see her face switch from flirtatious to angry.
"You have insane hair." The brown-haired girl said.
"Yeah, uh, one day my hair was normal, and then one day it just went insane." Beck said and awkwardly removed her hand. "Sad story."
"I like your story." The girl said, as she started to stroke is hand again which made him move her hand away from his.
"Um, hi, miss?" Cat said.
"What?" The girl replied, annoyed.
"He has a girlfriend." Cat informed.
"I don't see her." The girl smiled.
"Turn around," Jade said, as she took a drink of her soda. The girl turned around, and looked at Jade. "Now you see her." She added.
"I don't see much." The girl said.
The girl stood up from her seat, so she would be face-to-face with Jade. Knowing Jade, me, Andre, Beck, and Cat stood up from our seat, and got involved before things got ugly.
"Okay, um..." Lucas started.
"Hey, did you know Karaoke comes to us from the Japanese?" Andre asked, trying to change the subject.
Beck smiled awkwardly. "Yeah, how great is Japan right?" He said.
"So great." I said awkwardly.
"Good people."
"Hey, check out dudes jacket." The blonde girl said, gesturing to Andre's "Hollywood Arts" letterman jacket.
The brown haired girl laughed. "Ooh, Hollywood Arts. The school for wannabes." She said, turning back to Jade.
"You know you might wanna be shutting your face there." Jade said.
"Really?"
"Really."
"Hey, look what they got on the menu. Buffalo nuggets. Well, that's good news," Andre laughed. "Not for the buffalo."
"So, Hollywood Arts, you girls gonna sing tonight?" The brown girl asked.
"Well, we didn't come for the buffalo nuggets." Jade said.
"But we are gonna get some right?" Beck asked.
"I don't care. And yeah, were singing tonight." Jade said.
"Awesome."
"So are we." The black haired girl replied.
"I like Japan," Cat said. "Except, my brother got stabbed there. It was an accident. He's better now," She said with a smile. She said. "Are buffoons nuggets spicy?" She asked.
We all stood in silence. She has a lot of things going on in her head.
___
Later on, the three girls finally walked away, leaving us alone. Me, Cat, and Jade sat down in our seats, and waited for our turn.
"I like your purse." Cat said as she felt Jade's purse.
"Thanks."
"What is this?" Cat asked.
"Monkey fur." Jade replied making Cat sat the purse down.
"All right, peepers, we have a singing contest going on here. Next up are a couple Karaoke Dokie regulars, Haley Ferguson, Tara Ganz, and Jessica Parker!" The DJ announced.
Everyone clapped for them as they got up to the stage. They smiled at us like they would win. I highly doubt they will.
"Enjoy us." Jessica said.
"Enjoy my monkey fur!" Jade snapped.
"Okay, girls, choose your poison." The DJ said.
"We're gonna sing "Number One." Haley said.
"Ooh, the hit by Ginger Fox. All right, here it comes." The DJ said as the music started.
Once they started singing, I had to plug my ears because they were so bad. Don't get me wrong they're pretty girls, but they don't have any talent.
Like Trina.
Just not as annoying and loud.
___
Finally, they were done, and I was able to unplug my ears. I don't know why people were clapping for them. They were horrible. They stopped singing, and put the microphones back.
"Yeah, we're clapping because it's over." Jade said.
"That was torture." I added.
"I know." Lucas said, as he kissed my forehead.
"All right, all right. Next up in this singing competition we got Jade West, Brittany Oliver, and Cat Valentine!"
Like with Haley, Jessica, and Tyra everyone clapped for us, as we went on stage.
"Okay, girls, what you gonna throw down?" He asked.
"We wanna sing "Give It Up." I said.
"All right, a little R&B action tonight."
"Yeah, just play it." Jade said as she turned around. Me and Cat were facing the crowd.
Jade:
Someday I'll let you in
Treat you right
Drive you outta your mind, ooh
Cat:
You never met a chick like me
Burn so bright, I'm gonna make you blind
All:
Always want what you can't have
Is it so bad if you don't get what you wanted?
Make you feel good, as I whip you into shape
Yeah, boy, let's get it started
Give it up
You can't win
'Cause I know where you've been
Such a shame you don't put up a fight
That's a game that we play at the end of the night
It's the same old story but you never get it right
Give it up
Come a little closer, baby, baby
Brittany:
So stop trying to walk away
No you won't ever leave me behind
Cat:
No, you better believe that I'm here to stay
Jade and Brittany:
(That's right)
Cat:
'Cause you're the shade and I'm the sunshine, ooh
All:
Look at me boy
'Cause I got you where I want you
Isn't it so exciting?
Wanna shake you, wanna break you
Take the back seat, boy, 'cause now I'm driving
Give it up
You can't win
'Cause I know where you've been
Such a shame you don't put up a fight
That's a game that we play at the end of the night
It's the same old story but you never get it right
Give it up
Cat:
Hey-e-e Hey-e-e Hey-e-e
All:
Come a little closer
Come a little closer, baby, baby
Come a little closer
Come a little closer, baby, baby
Come a little closer
Come a little closer, baby
Yeah, you are my baby, and I'll make you crazy tonight
Look at me boy
'Cause I got you where I want you
Isn't it so exciting?
Wanna shake you, wanna break you
Take the back seat, boy, 'cause now I'm driving
Give it up
You can't win
'Cause I know where you've been
Such a shame you don't put up a fight
That's a game that we play at the end of the night
It's the same old story but you never get it right
Give it up
We finished, and the crowd went crazy, clapping, and cheering for us. We walked off stage, and I walked over to Lucas, kissing him on his lips, and Jade did the same to Beck.
"Yeah, yeah, baby, what about that, right?" The DJ said as he walked onto the stage. Everyone clapped, and we smiled at the 3 girls who think they can just steal our boyfriends away.
"Okay, that's everybody on the list, so now to announce tonight's Karaoke Dokie winner, here's the owner of the joint, the man who signed my checks... Joey Ferguson!" The Dj said.
A man came out from the side of the stage and took the microphone from the DJ. ''Thanks everyone, lot of great singers here tonight," He said making everyone cheer and clap. "But I think 3 girls REALLY stood out."
Me, Jade, and Cat smiled at each other.
He's talking about us.
"So, tonight's winners are... Haley, Jessica, and Tara!" Mr. Ferguson announced, making the 3 girls smile, and clap as they got up from their seats.
Our mouths fell open in shock.
He's not serious.
"Hey! Are you wazzing me?!" Rex said in disbelief.
"Rex..." Robbie started.
"Those grunches can't sing!" Rex yelled.
Beck spoke up. "Come on, man!" He said
"These girls got 10x more applause then them." Andre said, gesturing to us.
"Yeah, these girls deserve to win." Lucas said.
"Just sit down." Jessica ordered.
"I'll sit you down!" Lucas threatened.
"Hey, hey. I own the club, so I decide who wins." Joey said.
"Thank you, dad." Haley thanked.
"Dad?" I ask in disbelief making her smile at me.
"Dad." We said in realization.
No wonder why those untalented grunches won. The girl is obviously a daddy's girl who gets whatever she wants because her daddy is rich.
"Wait. Why would you him dad unless..." Cat gasped. "I bet he's her father!" She said, hitting my arm. I sighed, and placed my fingers on the bridge of my nose.
"Fix! Fix!" Rex yelled, and everyone started booing at the 3 girls.
"Hey, hey. We won, cause we rock." Haley said, pointing to herself, and her friends.
"Yeah, don't believe everything your daddy says." Cat said.
"Like when he tells you you're pretty." Jade said.
"Or talented." I added.
"Whoo! Testify!" Rex cheered.
"Okay, that's it! You guys are banned from signing here ever again!" Haley said.
"Yeah, like we care!" Jade said.
"Come on, let's out of here." Beck said.
"Let's bail." Andre added.
Just then, a waiter came over to us, and sat our food down. "Okay, I have your nachos, your sliders, and the buffalo nuggets." She listed, and then left.
"I say we get out of here... After we finish this food!" Andre said, and we all took our seats, and started digging in, and man, those buffalo nuggets were good.
___
"You wanna stay here, and take care of Trina's bleeding mouth?" Jade asked.
We came to Tori because she was the only one who wasn't there with us, and she could definitely out sing the 3 ganks. Tori put down her frozen yogurt, and opened the front door. I could hear Beck, Robbie, Andre, and Lucas struggling with Trina.
"So, the plan?"
___
We entered Karaoke Dokie, and saw Jessica, Haley, and Tara singing. God, they sounded worse then last night.
I plugged my ears again until they stopped.
"Alright-tay, that was our reigning champions, Haley, Tara, and Jessica," The DJ said, as the girls walked off stage. "Ok we're gonna take a little fiber, so your MC can go pee," He said. No one laughed or said anything. "That joke never gets a laugh."
We walked up to the 3 girls.
"Ooh, looks who's back. I thought I smelled failure." Jessica said.
"Then you must be sniffing yourself." Cat said.
Not bad. I smirked, holding back my laughter.
"Good right?" Cat asked.
"For you."
"You know you can't sing here." Haley said.
"Why would we want to?'' Cat asked.
"So your daddy can let you win again?" I questioned.
"He picked us because we sang the best." Tyra said.
"Oh my god." Jade said.
"Kill me." I said.
"That is so tight." Cat said.
"Tight means good." I said.
"That is so not tight." Cat corrected herself.
"And guess what? If the audience picked the winners here any person in this place would beat you morons." Jade said.
"Morons." Cat repeated.
''But you'd be to scared to do that right?'' Jade asked.
"We're not scared to let the audience pick the best singer." Jessica said.
"Nope." Haley said.
"Not at all." Tara added.
"Then do it." Jade said.
"And if we when?" Haley asked.
"You can make out with Jade and Brittany's boyfriends." Cat said.
"What?!" Jade said in disbelief.
"Yeah, what?!" I repeated.
"She likes Back's hair." Cat said.
"So do I." Jade protested.
"And I like Lucas's hair." I added.
"Worried?" Haley asked.
"No. And if you lose?" Jade asked.
"You have to babysit a girl we know." I said.
"Pfft, Fine."
"Good."
"Pick someone to sing against you." Jade said.
"All right... We'll pick..." Jessica trailed off, and spotted Tori in her disguise, reading a book in a corner of the room. "Her."
We looked to where she was pointing, and saw she had picked Tori.
"Oh, come on, not her." Cat said.
"Yeah.'' I agreed.
"At least pick someone who has a chance." Jade said.
"You said pick someone who's in the place." Haley said.
"And, um, I think she's in the place," Jessica said. "Hey! Ugly, Betty!" She yelled to Tori. Tori looked up, and noticed the girls. "Time to sing."
"Me?" Toria asked making the girls nod.
___
"Okay, we're doing something a little special here tonight, you just heard the melodious voices of our champions, Haley, Tara, and Jessica..." Everyone clapped for them. For some reason. "Well, they've picked a challenger to sing next, and you, the audience, are going to pick a winner by your own applause. Are you guys down?" The DJ asked. The crowd clapped, and cheered telling him they were ready.
"All right, what's your name up at the mic there?" The DJ asked.
"Louise Nordoff." Tori replied.
"Wow, that's a name. What do you want to sing tonight, Louise?" He asked.
"Um, I would like to sing... Freak The Freak Out." Tori replied.
The DJ chuckled. "Really? Are you sure? That's a pretty intense tune." He said.
"I'd like to sing it now please." Tori snapped.
The DJ held his hands up, and gave in. "All right, here comes Louise singing "Freak The Freak Out." The DJ said.
The music started, and Tori was already dancing weirdly.
"Don't make that face." Jade said.
Are you listening? Hear me talk, hear me sing
Open up the door, easy less, easy more
When you tell me to beware, are you here? Are you there?
Is it something I should know? Easy come, easy go
Nodding your head, don't hear a word I said
Can't communicate, when you wait, don't relate
I try to talk to you but you never even knew
So what's it gonna be, tell me, can you hear me?
I'm so sick of it, your attention deficit
Never listen, you never listen
I'm so sick of it, so I'll throw another fit
Never listen, you never listen
I scream your name, it always stays the same
I scream and shout
So what I'm gonna do now is freak the freak out,
Tori looked at the two girls, before jumping onto their table. It's a wonder why it didn't break.
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
She let us come up on stage, and dance for a bit, before she got back to the song. We danced off stage, and back to our seats.
Patience running thin, running thin, come again
Tell me what I get opposite, opposite
Show me what is real, if it breaks does it heal?
Open up your ear, why you think that I'm here?
Keep me in the dark are you even thinking of me?
And someone else above me gotta know, gotta know
What am I gonna do? 'Cause I can't get through to you
So what's it gonna be
Tell me, can you hear me?
I'm so sick of it, your attention deficit
Never listen, you never listen
I'm so sick of it so I'll throw another fit
Never listen, you never listen
I scream your name, it always stays the same
I scream and shout
So what I'm gonna do now is freak the freak out.
Tori finished the song, and the crowd went wild. We came up and hugged her as everyone countied to cheer for her.
Joey came on stage and took the microphone from Tori. "Whoa, whoa, wait, wait."
"Wait for what?'' Jade asked.
"The crowd hasn't voted yet." Jessica said.
"Yeah. Okay, all those for Haley, Tara, and Jessica!" Joey said.
The 3 girls clapped, but stopped when nobody clapped realized nobody was going to vote for them.
"All those for Louise Nordoff."
The crowd went wild for Tori, and her performance. Joey, Jessica, Tara, and Hailey left, and we were left on stage with everyone cheering for Tori, and dancing around.
But there was still one more person singing tonight.
___
Sikowitz:
Hello is everybody watching?
Before I get the party started
You know you wanna be invited
Step right up and get a little bite of Sikowitz
Feel the grove when we move, I'm the center
Get it right every night like were ment ta

You're gonna tell me that your ready to go
I'm already there, up in the air
Cause I'm the star of the show
I'm number one baby always number one baby
So forget what you heard this is my world
He sat in a chair, and I saw he had shoes on for the first time ever. He pulled a chain, and water dumped all over him. Everyone cheered for him. We ran over to him and gave him a group hug. He was probably the best one so far.
I sure hope the girls are having fun with Trina.
___
