Just tell us where the girl is." Andre said. We were watching Beck, Cat, and Andre do a performance in class. "I told you. I don't know!" Beck yelled. "Ok. If you don't know you don't know." Cat said.Then she slapped him. ''Now, do you know?" Cat asked. I laughed. "Hey, man, get your partner off of me." "You better tell her what she wants to know." Andre said, putting a red lollipop in his mouth. "You got three seconds to talk." " I don't...I.." Cat slapped him again. "She's in my basement!" Beck cried. "She's in my basement." Beck fake cried.
"Boring." Sikowitz said. "That was boring?" Andre asked. "Yeah, It was too predictable. There were no...Ahh!...Surprises." Skiowitz said, pretending to fall. "I enjoyed the slapping." Jade said. "Yeah, it was pretty funny." I said. I grabbed Jade's hand.
Nothing weird. We used to hold hands when we were younger. "The entertainment is so much more entertaining when the characters do things that the audience doesn't expect." "I don't get what you're trying to say here." Robbie said. "You bewildered everybody." I understood what he meant. "Alright, ok. Maybe I'm wrong. Let's move on to something else. Let's talk about hopes and Dreams. Tori?" "Sikowitz!" Andre sat down next to me as Beck sat next to Jade. I placed my head on Andre's shoulder. And he rested his head on mine.
"What's your biggest hope and or dream?" Sikowitz asked Tori. "Uh... probably to be a pop star. A really successful singer." Sikowitz started laughing. I thought about it at first and decided not to laugh at this one. "What?" "Well, maybe you could sing at weddings. For the hearing impaired." I stood up off of Andre's shoulder and grabbed the lollipop out of his mouth, putting it in mine.
"Ok, This is the most fun class ever." Jade said. "You really don't think I can make it as a singer?" "Nope." "Tori, don't listen to him." I said. "Ha!" Sikowitz said. "I missed the joke." I said standing up. Andre pulled me back down. But it still wasn't funny. I'm not afraid to fight a teacher, only me and Jade are able to hurt Tori's feelings.
"You see? You're all staring at me with rapt attention. Why? Because as a teacher, you expect me to encourage my students, not puke on their dreams. Right?" "Right." I said. "This is what I was trying to explain. When characters do the unexpected..oh.." Sikowitz fell. And I chuckled. "Audiences pay attention." "Oh, I have a headache." Tori said. The bell ranged.
"That's lunchtime. Get out!" SIkowitz said. " Hey, jade, That's a nice new sweater." Rex said "Thanks. It's made out of puppet hair." Jade said. "Dang woman." We all walked out to go to Lunch. Andre and I were eating at the table with Beck when Cat walked up to me. "Look at the new costume I made. Can you guess who I am?" Cat asked.
"No." Beck said. "You're, uh, Little boy poo." Andre said. I laughed. "Little bo peep." I said. "All right, can I just tell you guys how much I'm loving my new custom design class?" "No." "And my teacher says I have a gift for knowing people's exact measurements." Cat said ignoring my comment. "Hey, Peopleys." Robbie said walking with Jade. "I'm not with him." Jade said, sitting down. " Hey, Robbie, want me to tell you what size your pants are?' Cat asked Robbie. "I already know. They're a size four." I looked at Robbie as if he was just kidding.
"Size four?' I asked him confused. "That's how they measure Girls' pants." Cat explained to him. "What? Rex, you promised me these were boys' jeans." Robbie said."You really need to stop listening to Rex." "You've been Rex'd." "Hey." Tori said. "Will you guys take a look at my headshot and resume?" Tori passed out some papers.
"Sure, what for?" Andre asked. "Sikowitz got me an audition for a movie." "Oh, That's awesome." I said sarcastically. "I don't care." Jade said. "You look 12 in this pic." Andre said. "Well, that was the last time I was shot by a professional photographer." "My brother got shot by a clown." Cat said.
"Yeah, and Apollo shot Avy." Jade said. Andre looked at me. "Jade." "Wait, when did you get shot by...." "Cat, why did a clown shoot your brother?" I asked, I was trying to change the subject. "Because my brother kept poking him and saying, "What you gonna do about it, clown, huh?" Cat said, poking Andre's shoulder. "It happened on the bus." Cat said. "Cat, color the tiger." Jade said, giving Cat a coloring book. "Yay, Crayons!" Cat exclaimed. "Well. Now I have to find a professional photographer." Tori said. "Did someone say she needs a professional photographer?" Jasmine asked.
"Yeah. Do you guys know one?" Tori asked. "Yeah, Me." Jasmine said, offended. I laughed. "Sure." Tori said. Andre grabbed my face and kissed me and jasmine took a picture. Andre tends to just kiss me whenever he gets the chance to. It's really cute to me. When I don't have to ask because he just does it.
"Yeah, I don't seem so weird anymore, do i?' Robbie asked as Jasmine ran off. "What did you say, Girl pants?" I asked. "All right, You've got to work on this resume." Andre said, handing it to me. "Wha? What's wrong with it?" "You only have one play on here." Robbie said. "Well, That's all I've been in." " So?" "Just say you've acted in more stuff." "Lie?" "Yes." "It's not really lying." "It's exaggerating." "Did I mention the clown was my cousin Jessie?" "Color the pretty tiger." Jade said angrily. "So, back to my resume."
"You've got to add more stuff under "special skills." "Yeah, you put bike riding as a special skill. Who can't ride a bike?" "Take a guess." Rex said. "Can you keep any secret?" Robbie asked, covering his mouth. "So what special skills should I add?" "Gymnastics. " "Tori won't be able to do that." "Martial arts." "Skydiving." "Flirtatious hair-flipping."
"Guys think about this. Telling Tori to lie will not end well." I said. "Tori, lie." Jade said. "Jade I do not flip my hair." "Oh, really? This doesn't look familiar? "Why, Hello, Boys. My name is Tori Vega. buy me some licorice and I'll give you a kiss." Jade said in a Southern accent. "I talk, nothing like that. Seriously, Do I talk like that?" We all started imitating Tori's voice in a southern accent. And adding the hair flipping.
*Time skip*
Tori was explaining to us how she is going to be a stunt double. "So I said ok." I wasn't really listening. I was helping Andre with his camera. "Really? I had no idea you did stunt work." "I don't. I'm not a stunt double." "Then why did you accept the Job?" " I don't know, because I'm stupid." "Got that right."
"I've been telling you people she's stupid, But did anyone believe me?" Jade said. "All right, wait. Why'd they even offer you a job as a stunt double?" Andre asked. "Because she lied and said she could do stuff that stunt doubles do." I said. "You guys told her too. See you should never lie on your resume." I said. "Well, that's not a pretty face." Jade said, looking at Tori. "Will you please just call your casting director friend and get me out of this?" Tori asked. " "Mm, you might not want to do that."
"Why not?" " You wanna get blackballed in hollywood?" Jade asked. "What do you mean blackballed?" "In this town, everybody knows everybody." "You make people mad, word gets around." "And then no one will hire you." "Great. So what do I do, Get blackballed or do a stunt and get my face smashed?" "I think... you should do both." I said.
"You know.." "Stunt doubles rarely get injured." I said. "Yeah, but..." "And you told them you'd do it." "Which is a commitment. And making a commitment is like...Well, take a look at this coc.." I kind of faded out of Sikowitz's voice. " I think that goes in there." I said to Andre as he was trying to put the memory card in the camera.
He looked at me and kissed me. "Thank you but I know what I'm doing." I smiled. "So what's this stunt you're supposed to do anyway?" Beck asked Tori. " Fall off a chair." Tori said. "Are you afraid to break a nail?" I asked. "Fall off a chair?" Andre asked."That's the big stunt you're bugging about?" Jade asked.
"Ha. You big baby." Sikowitz said. I looked at Beck and he had a pen in his mouth. I grabbed the pen and handed it back to him. He could get ink in his mouth. "Well, It could be dangerous. I'm not a professional stunt girl. I don't know how to fall off a chair and make it look real. And what if..Ah.." Jade kicked Tori off the chair. Andre tensed up. As if he was going to help her. "Looks good to me." I said. " Andre, calm down. Tori's fine." I said, hoping he would calm down. He wasn't angry but his expression looked worried.
*Time skip*
"Guys." Tori said. "What?" Tori explained how she has to fall 40 feet down the ground onto an air sack. "Wai, who got bit by monkeys?" Rex asked. "The director's kid." "Did he taunt the monkey?" "I don't think you should do the stunt." Andre said. "Why?" "Because she might hurt herself." "And why do you care?" "Because Tori's my friend. It's like if Jade gets in trouble you will always be there for her." I couldn't argue with that. I hate to say it but he's right.
"Whatever." I said. "Either way I have to. I'll get blackballed in Hollywood if I back out. I don't want to get Blackballed." " Then just do it." Robbie said. "And what if I end up in the hospital?" "Well, maybe you'll meet a handsome young doctor, get married, and share a soda pop." Jade said in a southern accent.
"I don't talk like a movie star from the 1940s!" Tori yelled. "Oh, My God, I love your dress." Cat said. "Thanks, it's what I wear in the movie. When I die." Tori said. "Um, Cat, what's up with the crazy costume?" "I'm sikowitz.." Cat said giggling. "That's a great costume. Maybe you can dress me for my funeral." Tori said. "I could so do that." "Come on now, there's not going to be a funeral." "Aw." Cat said. Beck, Jade, and I smiled. "We're all going to come down on set, keep you cool, watch you land safe and sound, right on that air sack."
"Unless you miss it." I said laughing. "I don't think you'll miss it." Andre said. Sikowitz soon passed by us. Cat and Sikowitz both copied each other and Sikowitz ran out.
*Time skip*
"I have never been treated so disrespectfully." Rex said. "Will you just calm down?" "No. I'm outraged." "You don't need a visitor's pass." "You and Robbie got visitor's passes. The two wicked witches got a visitor's pass." "Here." I said, clipping my name tag to his part. Rex screamed. "Now shut up. Tori's here." I said. "Hi." Cat said." "Yay, Cat made another costume." "Look, I'm Cat, International spy."
Cat started imitating gun fires." It's not real. So when does Tori do her fall?" "All right, let's do one." "Oh, here we go." We gave Tori a thumbs up. "Positions, everyone." Tori sat down." Andre's phone started ringing. "Hey, Tori." "I don't care what you do, just get me out of this." "Don't worry, you're going to land right on that big comfy sack." "Cell phone off please." Andre hung up the phone. "Ready Tori?" "Yeah." "All right. And action!" Tori picked up the teapot. "Now read the note." "And spill the coffee and fall." Tori fell but fell on the wrong side. "Cut!" The director said.
"Tori, what happened?" "I fell the other way. I think it worked pretty well." "No, it didn't. You need to fall this way, through the railing." "Right." "Ok." "Resting." I sent Tori a message. And went backstage. "Avy?" "Yes?" I asked in a high pitched tone. I was wearing the same dress as her and a wig. "Avy?" "I'm not Avy, I'm you." "Wait, but..but how did you..? Where did you get that dress?"
"Cat made it. Are you sweating?" I asked. "Yeah. I think I'm having an anxiety attack. I don't want to do the stunt. I'm scared." "It's ok. I got this." "Is Andre okay with this?" "Andre doesn't need to know." I took Tori shades. "Wait.. What are you..." "Shh. Wait here." I ran out to the set. "There goes Tori." Andre said. "Yeah. She's so cute when she's running away." Robbie said.
I sat down on the chair. "All right, we're back. Tori you set?" "Ready!" I yelled trying to sound like Tori. I did what I was supposed to do and fell. I quickly got up and ran to the back and changed and then went to Andre. "Where were you? You missed it." Andre said. "Darn. I had to use the bathroom." I said. " Whoo! Did everyone enjoy my stunt? I know I did." Tori said. We all hugged her. "See, it wasn't so bad, was it?" "No! It was fun." "You want to do another take?" "No, I do not."
*Time skip*
Jade found out it was me. Well she knew the whole time. Tori felt guilty so she told everyone. And Andre won't get off my back about what I did. He encouraged Tori but is mad I did something like that. So we went back to the set. "Avy, I can't believe you did something like that." "Andre, I'm sorry. I didn't think you would freak." "Of course if I lost you it would be like losing my heart." "But Andre, you didn't lose me." He kissed me. We all cheered on Tori. Tori keeped stopping so me and Jade walked up there. We looked at eachother and pushed her. She landed safely on the sack. "You're ever so welcome." Jade said in a southern accent. "I don't talk like that."
