Average Boy – Episode 8
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
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 wasn’t in it either
for my phone. It wasn’t in it. I checked my bag and it
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
