Average Boy – Episode 19

Chapter 19

 

◾Beck Oliver’s POV ◾

 

Me: aren’t we supposed to go up now? I mean, up the stage

 

Brittany : there’s a change in the activities. That’s why the teacher wants to see us

 

 

 

Me: okay

 

I removed my hand from her and she stopped moving

 

Brittany : why that?

 

Me: nothing

 

 

 

Brittany : you’re so overprotective of yourself

 

Me: it’s supposed to be so

 

 

 

I began to move towards the class. She followed me but stopped when her phone beeped.

 

 

 

Brittany : Beck wait

 

I stopped and looked at her. She raised her face from her phone and stood in front of me

 

 

 

Me: what?

 

She dropped her phone in her purse and bent down then kept the purse on the ground. Before I could ask her why she did that, she stood up and immediately held onto my face and began to kiss me, I was taken aback and tried to remove my face which led to her kissing my cheek roughly. Her fingers sliced my face. She was so strong in me. I became angered and tried to push her with my arms. I held her waist and just as I was about pushing her, I heard my name in an angry tone. She left me immediately

 

 

 

Me: oh no! Tori

 

She looked at me then the girl and turned and walked away hurriedly

 

I took after her but didn’t see her when I got outside. This is not gonna go smoothly

 

 

 

◾Brittany David’s POV◾

 

I chuckled as he ran after her. I picked my purse and brought out my phone then texted Trina

 

 

 

mission accomplished

 

 

 

I waited few seconds before the alert of my balance came in. I smiled and tucked the phone back in then I ran outside. I looked around but didn’t see Beck. I smirked and walked to the two girls who sent me the text that they directed Tori to the dance class

 

 

 

◾Tori Vega’s POV◾

 

 

 

I stopped the car and leaned on the staring. My tears dropped slowly and my breathe hooked in my throat. I took a sad breathe in and rested my head on the seat

 

 

 

Me: I wasn’t expecting this from you. You’re so good to be true

 

 

 

My phone rang and it was Jade. I picked it up

 

Tori where are you?

 

 

 

Jade…

 

Tori ,are you crying?

 

Jade it’s Beck..

 

where are you? I’m coming there now

 

 

 

I’m… ..I’m at..

 

don’t worry, I’ll use GPS

 

 

 

She hung up. I wiped my tears and took a napkin then got out of the car. I puked into the grass and wiped my mouth. I took a bottle water and rinsed it too. I rested on my car and felt the rising temperature on my forehead. A terrible headache was also forming

 

A car’s headlight flashed on me and I covered my eyes. Jade got down and hurried towards me

 

 

 

Jade: Tori what happened?

 

Because of the question, I began to cry again. I hugged her though she didn’t hug me back. She never does. But I still feel soothed when I hug her

 

 

 

Jade: what happened with Beck?

 

Me: he cheated on me

 

 

 

Jade: WHAT!

 

Me: he was kissing a girl

 

Jade: I’ll kill him

 

Me: please do…

 

 

 

Jade: let’s leave here. I’ll take you home

 

Me: will you spend the night with me?

 

 

 

Jade: don’t use that pitiful tone with me cause it won’t work. Let’s go

 

 

 

She pulled me into her car and made me sit

 

Me: how about my car

 

She didn’t answer, she just started her car and zoomed off

 

 

 

◾Jade West’s POV◾

 

I drove into the environ and parked. Tori and I got out and we entered inside

 

 

 

Trina was laying on the chair with her eyes sticking into her phone. She didn’t look up at us

 

 

 

 

Trina: hey Tori, aren’t you supposed to be at your prom night? Why are you here?

 

 

 

She kept typing on her phone

 

Me: do you have a problem with that?

 

She quickly looked up

 

 

 

Trina : what? Jade?

 

Me: I asked you a question. Do you have a problem with Tori being here?

 

 

 

She blinked her eyes repeatedly with her mouth open. I rolled my eyes and held Tori’s arm

 

 

 

Me: let’s go upstairs.

 

We left the living room and went to Tori’s room.

 

 

 

Tori dropped her bag and entered the bathroom. I began to think, why would Beck kiss another girl? He doesn’t look like a playboy because of his character. And I think someone framed him up.

 

Trina has eyes for him, she was flirting with him earlier. And how did she know that it was Tori who came inside even though she didn’t look at us. Was she expecting her to come home?

 

Also, the look on her face clearly spelt mockery. Trina might be the mastermind behind this. But I’ll get my facts first, I’ll just ask Beck when we get to school on Monday

 

 

 

◾Beck Oliver’s POV◾

 

 

 

I walked to Andre

 

Me: please have you seen Tori?

 

Andre: whoa, what happened to your face? It’s bleeding

 

 

 

I touched the place where I was feeling the pain from. It was bleeding because of Brittany’s nails

 

 

 

Andre: you’re injured in like three places

 

Me: I need to see Tori now

 

Andre: have you called her?

 

I shook my head

 

 

 

Andre: you should call her

 

I brought my phone and called her but she didn’t pick, I called three more times and when I called the fourth time, her phone was already switched off

 

 

 

Andre: did something happen?

 

Me: do you remember what happened with me and Samantha?

 

Andre: back in Canada?

 

Me: yes

 

 

 

Andre: yeah, she tricked you into following her somewhere then she tried to force you to make out with her. I remember it was Caleb who saw you both and pushed her away from you.

 

 

 

Me: good. That same scene repeated itself just now. And Tori saw it. She misinterpreted it

 

 

 

Andre : Holy Jesus! Tori saw you and a girl? She’s definitely not going to take that likely

 

 

 

Me: I know. She stormed out and now she’s not picking my calls

 

 

 

Andre: you better work things out with her before Jade…

 

 

 

Me: that’s what scares me most dude. Jade..

 

Andre: let’s go home. Why don’t you spend the night at my house?

 

Me: no, mom would be alone. I’ll just go home

 

 

 

Andre: all right then, I’ll just wait till the prom is over

 

Me: please meet the dance teacher and tell him I had to go home so Dave should just act as my backup

 

 

 

Andre: no probs man

 

I smiled and walked away

 

 

 

◾Emily Brown’s POV◾

 

I feel so guilty. And I feel like I’m forcing myself on Beck.

 

What if he’s actually a playboy? I don’t wanna get hurt

 

 

 

Maybe I should just be ordinary friends with him. I won’t force him to date me

 

 

 

I took my phone and texted him

 

Beck, I’m sorry for the inconvenience today. I didn’t know you already had a girlfriend, I wouldn’t have crossed the boundaries. Please forgive me for flirting with you and let’s just be normal friends from now on

 

 

 

The message delivered and I sighed and stood up to change

 

 

 

◾Tori Vega’s POV◾

 

When I woke up, I didn’t see Jade. Did she leave last night?

 

I brushed and went downstairs, I didn’t see Dad but Trina was already at the dinning table

 

 

 

Me: good morning, where’s Dad?

 

Trina: he took the first flight to London

 

Me: why?

 

Trina : I’m I his business partner?

 

 

 

I glared at her and shook my head. I’m too pained to throw words with irrelevant people. I turned to go outside

 

 

 

Trina: how’s Beck?

 

I stopped walking but didn’t look back at her. I scoffed and walked out

 

 

 

I saw my car parked in the garage. My face puzzled up and I went back upstairs. I saw Jade lying down on the bed, with her phone in her hand

 

 

 

Me: Jade? You’ve been here?

 

Jade: no, I went to the balcony

 

Me: okay

 

Jade: so what really happened yesterday?

 

Me: I don’t wanna talk about it

 

Jade: I won’t force you now, but I’ll make you talk later

 

 

 

Me: why is my car here?

 

Jade: Cat brought it and I made her take a taxi home

 

 

 

Me: where was I when she brought it?

 

Jade: you were having your head over the toilet bowl

 

 

 

Me: oh

 

I really cried last night and I threw up so badly. Jade didn’t console me. She was listening to music

 

 

 

I’m still so angry with that play boy. I wish I could break up with him but I can’t. I won’t even talk to him

 

 

 

He doesn’t deserve me

 

 

 

My phone beeped and a message from Sichowitz came in. It was about a literary textbook that we are to buy unfailing this Monday. I dropped the phone and stood, getting ready to take a shower

 

 

 

 

Jade: Sichowitz wants us to buy another bulky and lame textbook again?

 

She was glaring at her phone

 

 

 

Me: you got the text too?

 

Jade: he sent it to all his students and I’m his student so why won’t I get the text?

 

 

 

Me: don’t yell at me. I’m the heartbroken girl here, don’t add salt to my injury

 

 

 

She rolled her eyes and left the room.

 

 

 

Me: stupid girl

 

She came back in immediately, with eyes that could kill

 

 

 

Jade: what!

 

Me: not… you… Me..

 

She glared at me and walked out again

 

 

 

Phew

 

That was close

 

 

 

My phone began to ring and it was Beck again. I scoffed and declined the call

 

 

 

◾Beck Oliver’s POV◾

 

 

 

I sighed as I dropped my empty wallet. I collapsed on the bed and closed my eyes.

 

How would I be able to buy that textbook now?

 

I’m out of money

 

 

 

Emily’s dad is out of the country and Tori doesn’t want to speak with me. I’ve got no other job for now and I’m so broke

 

 

 

Me: what I’m I gonna do?

 

 

 

I can’t tell mom because she doesn’t even have enough. I promised to take care of myself and not to bug her with my school issues.

 

 

 

I took my phone and tried to call Sichowitz but I was out of airtime. I stood up and walked downstairs with the phone, I went to the telephone and hoped it would be able to make a call

 

I imputed Sichowitz’ number and dialed it. Luckily it went through

 

 

 

hello, Sichowitz speaking

 

hello this is Beck

 

oh my demigod, how are you?

 

I’m fine sir. Please that textbook you were talking about, can someone pay in installment?

 

oh no you can’t. The school board is involved and it requires immediate payment

 

okay thanks

 

you’re welcome

 

 

 

I dropped the phone and slumped into the couch then closed my eyes

 

 

 

This is so hard. What I’m I going to do? I really need this book for tomorrow. And I can’t ask Emily. I can’t bring myself to ask her for money

 

 

 

What is killing me most Now is Tori. I want my Tori, I need my baby in my arms

 

I feel incomplete without her

 

 

 

Me: Tori I miss you

 

I opened my eyes and looked at the ceiling. Why can’t we just talk things over? Why is she being so immature? Her attitude is getting on my nerves

 

My phone rang and I picked it up

 

what’s up Emily

 

 

 

Beck I’m missing you please let me come over. Please,i already have your address

 

 

 

Emily… I..

 

Beck please. I promise I won’t flirt with ya

 

 

 

haha, only on one condition will you come over

 

 

 

tell me anything. I’ll do it. I’ll give you my credit card

 

 

 

you can give me your credit card?

 

yes

 

 

 

good girl. You can come over

 

 

 

yay ! Thanks sweetie. I love you

 

 

 

don’t say that!

 

 

 

She chuckled and hung up. I stood to my feet and began to dance. I hope Emily brings her credit card because I really need that textbook. And I need to fuel the car, maybe I’ll be able to do something to get me money

 

 

 

****************************************

 

(Fast Forward)

 

 

It’s already Monday, thanks to Emily I already have the textbook. The number one thing on my mind now is how to explain things to Tori.

 

I haven’t seen her today, she didn’t attend class. But I’m sure she’s in school

 

 

 

I walked towards their special class and saw two hefty black men by the door

 

 

 

The first man spoke up

 

1st Man: you’re not allowed in here

 

Me: please, I need to see Tori. Tell her it’s Beck, I’m here to apologize

 

 

 

2nd man: she mentioned your name. Beck Oliver. You’re not allowed to enter this room on any condition. Leave now

 

 

 

Me: please, I really gotta…

 

1st man: don’t get us angry. Leave now

 

 

 

I sighed sadly and turned. I left but I met Jade on the way

 

My heart dropped off

 

 

 

Jade: Tori doesn’t want to tell me what happened. So you tell me

 

 

 

I looked down then looked up

 

Me: she caught me kissing another girl but I didn’t kiss her. The girl did it on her own. She said a teacher wanted to see us and while we were going there, she suddenly began to kiss me. It was at that instant that Tori came in. She didn’t even let me explain to her

 

 

 

Jade : what’s the girl’s name?

 

Me: Brittany David

 

She nodded

 

Jade: follow me

 

We walked back to the men

 

Jade: he’s going in now

 

They paved way and I walked inside. Tori was seated and her head was over the table

 

 

 

I looked back and Jade didn’t come in.

 

Me: baby

 

She looked up and her face was pink and soft

 

 

 

Tori: how did you get in here? Please get out now

 

 

 

I moved closer to her and she stood up

 

Tori: just leave me alone

 

Me: no, here me out please

 

Tori: I don’t have anything to hear from you. You deceived me and I hate you for that

 

 

 

Me: I love you Tori. I can never cheat on you. I didn’t kiss that girl. She was a psycho who wanted to force herself on me.

 

 

 

Tori: liar. You kissed her. You were even holding her waist

 

Me: I was trying to push her away. She kept struggling to keep kissing me, that’s why her fingers injured my face

 

 

 

She looked at my face then looked away. I took her hand and drew her close Me: I can’t ever kiss anyone else while you’re still in my life. Please believe me

 

 

She broke down and began to cry again. I hugged her and stroke her hair. She hugged me too and I could feel that she was really pained

 

 

 

 

◾Jade West’s POV◾

 

I walked outside angrily and I saw her under a tree with her friends

 

 

 

Me: hey Brittany!

 

She looked up with surprise

 

 

 

Brittany : are…are you talking to me?

 

I scoffed and pulled her up with her arm. She squealed as I tightened my grip on her skin. I pulled her into the building, to a corner and threw her to the wall

 

 

 

Brittany : please Jade, what did I do to you?

 

Me: you slag! Why did you kiss Beck?

 

Brittany : what?

 

Me: don’t let me repeat myself

 

 

 

I pinned her to the wall

 

Me: you kissed Beck!

 

Brittany : I’m sorry..

 

Her tears began to well up

 

 

 

Me: why did you kiss Tori’s boyfriend?

 

Brittany : I was payed for it. I’m so sorry. Please don’t hurt me please

 

 

 

Me: who paid you?

 

She didn’t answer. I kicked her legs and she fell down

 

I brought out my scissors

 

 

 

Me: you have a nice hair

 

Brittany : no no no, please… It was Trina… Tori’s sister

 

I smirked

 

Me: good girl. I’ll be back for you

 

 

 

I returned my scissors and left the pathetic girl
