Tori's performance was a big hit despite the fact she was forced onstage. Tori was so good that she was offered to join the school Hollywood Arts. It took the whole crowd to convince her to go, but she eventually agreed. And today happened to be her first day at Hollywood Arts.Althea was honestly excited to have Tori going to Hollywood Arts. Tori seemed really nice and she was looking forward to getting to know Tori more and befriend her. Althea was with Delia at her locker that morning when she overheard Tori trying to ask people to help show her where Mr. Sikowitz' classroom is.

"Lia," Althea speaks, gaining her friend's attention. Delia glances at her with raised eyebrows and a small smile. "I think Tori needs help finding Mr. S' classroom." She called Mr. Sikowitz Mr. S since she had trouble saying his last name and the teacher never mind her calling him that so she keeps on using that name. She was grateful he never minded because she always got frustrated and upset when she had trouble saying a word or a name because of her speech impediment.

Delia glances at Tori, noticing the brunette looking down at her schedule. She nods. "Yeah, seems like it."

Althea rolls her eyes when Delia turned her attention back to getting books out of her locker, not making any move to go help Tori. She closes Delia's locker for her and pulls on her arm. "Come on, we should go help her." Delia sighs, not really caring about helping Tori. She didn't hate her, but she didn't know her very well so she wasn't too interested in helping her. However, her best friend wanted to help Tori so she couldn't say no to that. "Alright, alright. Let's go."

Althea smiles, letting go of her friend's arm. Delia sends her a smile before they walked over to where Tori was. Tori's head perks up, her eyes lighting up when she noticed Althea and Delia walking towards her. "Althea, Delia, thank goodness. Do you two know where Mr. Sikowitz' class is?"

"He's our first class too." Delia replies, translating what Althea was signing to Tori. "We're heading there now so you can follow us there if you want."

Tori nods immediately, looking relieved. "Yeah, that'd be great. Thank you." Althea nodded and smiled, gesturing for Tori to follow. She turned around and began walking down the hallway with Delia beside her and Tori followed them.

"You guys did amazing at the showcase, by the way." Tori commented on the way to the classroom.

Althea and Delia smiles at her. "Thanks." Delia said. "So did you, Vega. I thought you weren't a singer." She raised her eyebrow at Tori.

Tori chuckles nervously, shrugging. "I guess I am, huh? It's kind of weird, I never thought I'd ever be a singer, but I also didn't mind being on stage...After I stopped freaking out at first, anyways." She admitted and they laughed.

"Well, we're glad you joined the school." Delia told her after sharing a look with Althea.Tori's face brightened and her eyes lit up, smiling brightly at her and looking relieved. "Yeah?" Her smile turns into a grin when Althea nods in response, smiling reassuringly at her. "That's great, I'm glad. This school seems pretty cool, but I was worried I wouldn't make any friends since everyone already knows each other."

Delia waves a dismissive hand. "Don't worry about that, everyone here is friendly and easy to get along with....For the most part," She adds after a few seconds of thinking. "Just don't piss off the wrong people and you'll be fine."

Tori's brows furrows and she looks a little worried. "That's...Reassuring." She muttered.

Althea lightly pushes Delia's shoulder and the brunette gives her a look. "She's exaggerating. Don't listen to her, you'll be fine." Delia translates what Althea's signs, rolling her eyes as she translates. "I wasn't exaggerating. Just being honest." She defended.

Althea rolls her eyes, scoffing. She looks at Tori, signing to her and Delia translated. "Ignore her. She's just trying to scare you. You'll be fine."

"Hey." Delia pouted, looking offended and Althea and Tori laughed a little. Delia shook her head, her lips twitching up into a small smile. She looks at Tori. "Okay, so, just a heads up in this class the kids in the back don't really talk. They just sit back there and do their own thing. Kinda weird in my opinion, but they're mostly harmless. Don't really know why they don't talk, but it's better than them being complete jerks."

Tori nods. "Noted." She said and she looks curious. "Can I ask what's up with that? With you translating what Althea says for me, I mean. If you don't mind, of course." She quickly added, glancing at Althea.

Althea and Delia shared a glance, Delia silently asking her if it was okay for her to tell Tori about her condition. When Althea nodded, she looks at Tori. "Althea has a speech impediment, she's shy and introverted and her speech impediment makes it even harder for her to speak with strangers or just in general. There are some words and letters she can't really pronounce because of her impediment. So she decided to go with sign language to help her communicate more comfortably. I learned sign language at an early age to communicate with her and I translate for her the best I can. Andre and our other friends do the same with those who don't know sign language. It's a lot easier when people know sign language, but not everyone cares enough to learn it." She explained to Tori.

Tori looks surprised and then she frowns before she gives Althea a sympathetic look. "Oh, I'm sorry. That sounds really tough, and I'm sure it must get frustrating, huh?" She looks thoughtful. "I'm going to learn sign language though. That way I can communicate with her without you having to translate everything for me."

Delia's lips spread into a small smile and Althea's eyes widen, smiling widely and feeling surprised yet happy at the same time. She nods and signs. "I'd really appreciate that, Tori. Thank you."

"Yeah, no problem." Tori smiles, happy that she was able to help Althea feel a little more comfortable and happy. Plus she wanted to make things easier and less awkward for her new friends. "I'll do some research later and start learning. Maybe you could teach me a few basic things sometime, though?"

Althea and Delia share a look and then they smile and nod at Tori. "Yeah, of course." Delia responds. "We'll help you learn. We'll have you signing like a pro in no time." She reassured Tori, and the three girls smile.

"Alright, come on, we're here." Delia spoke up after the trio reached the classroom. Delia walked into the classroom first, leaving the door open for Althea and Tori. Althea walked to the right side, sitting in the front row while Delia sat beside her. Althea honestly didn't mind sitting in the front row. In some other classes she would prefer to sit in the middle row or the back row, but not this one. It was usually a surprise she didn't mind being in the front row or middle row in this class and that she wouldn't have picked acting class of all classes, but here she was and she was actually enjoying herself in that class.

The students were sitting around, chatting and waiting for the class to start. After Tori sat her bag down, she turned around and happened to bump into Beck, who had just walked into the classroom. Tori gasped and Beck's eyes widened as his coffee was spilt on him. "Oh my gosh." Tori said worriedly.

"Ah, it's cool-" Beck reassured her, but Tori interrupted him and began trying to clean off the coffee stain by rubbing her sleeve on his shirt.

"No, here-I think it's coming out." 

Delia raises her eyebrows and she glances at Althea with disbelief. "How is a coffee stain gonna come out by someone rubbing it?" She muttered to Althea, who chuckled and shrugged her shoulders in response. Althea watched Tori's and Beck's interaction with a grimaced, knowing Jade wouldn't be happy about what was going on. Jade was Beck's girlfriend and the meanest girl in school. Almost everyone was afraid of her. Althea and Delia weren't afraid of her though. Sure they didn't want to be on her bad side, but they weren't scared of her. And to be honest, they were close with Jade. 

They knew Jade wouldn't willingly admit it, but she did care about them. She especially had a soft spot for Althea and always stood up for her and made bullies back off whenever they bothered her. Jade and Delia used to be enemies, but they got over their differences and became friends after a while Beck tried to get Tori to stop, but she kept on insisting she was cleaning the stain out of his shirt. Jade walks into the classroom, looking at the scene. Her eyes narrowed as she looks between Beck and Tori, not happy that her boyfriend was standing close to some random girl. 

Althea and Delia's eyes widened and they winced as they looked at Jade. "Should we interfere before Jade kills Tori?" Althea asked her friend quietly, her brows furrowed.

Delia was watching Beck and Tori, her lips pressed into a tight line. "Yeah," She sighs. "I guess we should. We can't just stand by and let her kill Tori on her first day here." But before either one could stand up and head over to them, Jade spoke up in an angry and frustrated voice.

Jade glares at Tori. "Dude, why are you rubbing my boyfriend?"

Tori takes a step back and stutters out a response, her eyes wide with panic. "I-I just-I spilled coffee on-" 

"Get away from him." Jade demanded, gesturing for her to move.

Beck doesn't seem fazed by his angry girlfriend and walks over to her with a reassuring smile on his face. "Relax." He then kissed her cheek and walked over to sit down. Althea noticed Jade visibly relaxed slightly after that, but she still was glaring daggers at Tori. Althea and Delia glanced at each other. They both knew it was going to be a long year with Tori around.

Mr. Sikowitz opens the back door with a panicked look. "There's a huge fire!" That sentence brought everyone into a state of panic and screaming as they all began to get ready to run out of the classroom. Mr. Sikowitz laughs. "Kidding, kidding." Everyone stops running and grew quiet, staring at him with disbelief. He grins. "Just wanted to get your blood pumping, which I did-" He fist bumps the air with both hands and laughs. "Ha!"

"More like you gave us a heart attack." Delia muttered with a and over her fast beating heart as she sat back down. Althea nodded in agreement and sat back down.

"Alright!" Mr. Sikowitz closes the door while everyone else sit down. "Now, let's get started-Rumps in chairs." When he got on the stage, he threw his bag to the other side.

Tori glances at André with disbelief. "He's our teacher?" She asked him and he nodded in response with a smile.

"Okay, first, I'd like to introduce our new student, Tori." Mr. Sikowitz said, smiling as he points at Tori. Tori smiles and waves at everyone. "And I'd like to thank Tori for her generous gift of two dollars which she handed me outside this morning." He gets out two dollars from his pocket to show the class. "Not necessary, but much appreciated."

Delia chuckles, glancing at Tori with an amused smile. "You gave him two dollars?"

"I thought he was homeless." Tori defended herself.

Althea nods in understanding. "He does look homeless." She signed and her friends nodded in agreement.

"You're right, Thea." André comments with a small chuckle. "He does look homeless." Althea smiled a little, happy that they agreed with her.

"Now, today, we're going to continue our study in group improv." Mr. Sikowitz explains. He looks at Tori. "Tori, I assume you're familiar with improv."

Tori shakes her head. "No."

"Okay, crash course." Mr. Sikowitz stands by the white board, putting his hand on the board by the word 'improv'. "Improv-Acting without a script, which means the actors must make up their own actions and dialogue as they perform the scene. Understood?" Tori was about to ask him a question, but stays quiet when Mr. Sikowitz continues. "Excellent!" Mr. Sikowitz points at Jade. "Jade, you will capitan the first group of the day." He claps before he picks up a marker. "Choose your actors."

"Cat, Eli, Beck...And Tori." Jade smiled.

Tori looks at Andre and then at Althea and Delia nervously. Andre smiles encouragingly at her and gestured her to go up tot he stage. Althea smiles encouragingly at Tori while Delia gave the girl two thumbs up. "Okay, let's give 'em a place." Mr. Sikowitz said once the actors Jade picked were on stage.

Robbie raises his hand. "Home."

Mr. Sikowitz points at him. "Home." He then wrote it down on the white board. 

"Ooh, real creative." Rex sarcastically commented.

Robbie points at the puppet and glares. "You be quiet." Althea and Delia chuckles quietly when Robbie was slapped by Rex. "Ow!" Robbie brought his hand up to his cheek, glaring at Rex. 

The two best friends never understood why Robbie had a puppet and always brought him around, but they had gave up on questioning about it a long time ago.

"And now we need a situation." Mr. Sikowitz added.

"Big news." André suggested.

"André, nobody wants to see big nudes." Mr. Sikowitz spoke.

"He said news." Delia corrected him.

"Ah," Mr. SIkowitz's eyes widen in realization. "Well, that's different." He goes to write it on the board. "Big news."

Jade steps over to Tori. "Uh, why don't you go wait in the hall?"

Tori shrugs. "Uh, okay." As she goes out to the hall, Mr. Sikowitz gets off the stage and moves to stand at the back of the class. "Okay, at home, big news-And action!" Cat and Eli got on their knees, acting as if they were kids playing with toys.

"Hey, babe, how was work today?" Jade asked Beck. 

"Uh, I got fired." Beck replied with a sheepish expression.

"Oh." Jade sighed sadly

.Cat and Eli stand up. While Cat looks shocked, Eli frowns. "Again?"

"It's okay. I have great news that'll cheer up this whole family." Jade smiled, walking over to the door as Cat and Eli chimed in.

"What is it?" 

"Tell us!" 

Jade brings Tori inside the classroom. "I went to the animal shelter and got us," Grabbing Tori's arm, she drags Tori on stage. "...A dog." 

"Uh oh." Althea muttered. She knew this was going to end badly. She had a feeling Jade was going to get back at Tori for the coffee incident by doing something mean in this scene.

Tori looks at Jade with wide eyes. She then looks at the class and nervously chuckles. "Uh, yep. I'm the new family dog. Woof." 

"Sikowitz," Jade glances at the teacher in the back. "Will you please tell this amateur that dogs can't talk," Jade glares at Tori. "And that they don't walk on two legs?" When Sikowitz didn't reply, she looks at Sikowitz and yells, "Sikowitz!" 

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was sucking the milk out of this coconut." Sikowitz explains, showing the coconut he held. Althea furrows her eyebrows and tilts her head to the side, wondering where he got the coconut. "But it's true, Tori, if you're going to play a dog, be a dog."

With her hands on her hips, Jade glances over at Tori with a smug expression. Rolling her eyes, Tori gets on all fours. "Woof."

"And action." Mr. Sikowitz spoke.

"Uh, I went to the animal shelter and got us a dog." Jade continued.

"Wow!" Cat smiled, kneeling beside Tori along with Eli.

"Awesome!" Eli commented excitedly.

"Uh oh, looks like this dog has bugs in her fur." Jade pretended to notice, acting sad.

Tori raises her eyebrows. "Uh, woof?"

Cat and Eli immediately stand up and back away. "Ew!" 

"Gross!"

"Oh, it's okay." Jade walks off the stage and takes a boy's coffee before she got back on stage. "I read on the internet that coffee works great for getting rid of fur bugs." 

"Wait, Jade-" Althea chimed in, looking at the dark-haired girl with a worried expression.

Beck looks at Jade nervously as he tried to stop Jade as well. "Maybe you shouldn't, um-"

"Jade-" André started to warn her, but she ignored each of them. Jade poured the coffee on top of Tori, making her yelp in pain. 

Tori's eyes widen and her mouths open in shock as she stands. Everyone watched with shocked or grimaced expressions. Jade, however, looks like she didn't care. "What's the prob, dog?" With an upset expression on her face, Tori runs out of the classroom. 

After exchanging a glance, Althea and Delia leave the classroom. They both got some towels from the girl's bathroom and then found Tori in the hallway, talking with Andre. "Here." Althea said, smiling sympathetically at Tori and handed her the towels. Tori glances at her with wide eyes, surprised that Althea spoke to her for the first time. Her voice sounded sweet and gentle, but she did notice a hint of shyness in her tone and concern for Tori's well-being. 

"Thank you." Tori said softly, taking the towels and dabbing at the coffee stain on her clothes.

"No problem," Althea says quietly with a small smile. She couldn't believe she still felt confident enough to speak to Tori. She hadn't known Tori that long yet she was already warming up to her. Delia smiles a little at this. Althea wasn't the type to make new friends easily and usually took a while to warm up to new people before she started talking to them. But so far, Tori seemed like a good person and Althea wanted to befriend her. She was also glad that Tori wasn't freaked out that she could speak and that she didn't make any rude comments at her different voice. She was honestly surprised by that, but pleased. "I'm sorry about what happened in there. Jade can be...Well, Jade."

"Yeah, I kind of got that impression." Tori mumbles, looking slightly annoyed and frustrated. She had just met Jade and already she didn't like her. She was mean and Tori had a feeling it was only going to get worse from here. "But thanks."

"Yeah, no problem." Delia steps forward, offering Tori a reassuring smile. "Don't worry about it too much. Jade's just mad that you spilled coffee on her boyfriend and she's probably trying to get back at you by doing this. She can be mean, but honestly once you get past her tough exterior, she's not that bad."

Tori wasn't too convinced, but she smiles gratefully at the girls. "Thanks. I hope you're right. I wouldn't want to get on her bad side."

"And I have some extra clothes in my locker if you want to change your shirt. I think we're the same size." Delia offered, earning a surprised look from Tori.

"You have clothes in your locker?" Tori questioned, arching an eyebrow.

"Well, yeah." Delia replies in an obvious tone. "Who knows when a crisis will happen and you'll need extra clothes?" She was a fashionista after all. She liked to have a lot of clothes to choose from and was always prepared for fashion crises.

"Right..." Tori trailed off, giving Delia a strange look.

Delia laughs and Althea shakes her head, smiling at her best friend's antics. "Don't mind her, she's crazy when it comes to fashion. She's the type who's always prepared and has clothes in case of an emergency."

"Oh." Tori nodded in understanding.

"I'll go get the shirt for you." Delia reassures her. "That is if you still want to borrow one?" She waited for Tori's answer, not wanting to leave until she got her answer.

"Yes," Tori smiles at her gratefully. "I would appreciate it."

Delia grins and gives her a two finger salute. "You got it, does it matter which shirt? Do you have a favorite color or anything?"

"I don't really care. You look like you have great fashion taste so I'll trust your judgment." Tori answered, earning a pleased grin from Delia.

"You betcha." Delia grinned, running off to go grab the shirt from her locker. Althea smiled a little at this, finding it funny how Tori was right about Delia having a great fashion sense. Delia always looked amazing no matter what she wore and she had great fashion advice too.

"You guys need to convince her not to leave this school." André commented with a pleading expression, gaining a surprised one from Althea.

"You're leaving?" She asks, looking at Tori with a frown. "Why?"

"I don't belong here." Tori shakes her head. "I'm not as talented as everyone is in this school." She sighs. "At least at my old school I didn't have black coffee poured on me and I didn't have to act like a dog." 

Robbie then runs over to them. "Uh, you guys-"

"Sikowitz wants you guys back in class." Rex interrupted.

Robbie glances at him with offense. "He asked me to tell them!"

Putting one hand on her hip, Tori gestures to Robbie and Rex. "See? This doesn't happen at my old school."

"Will you guys be cool?" André sighed heavily, slightly annoyed.

"Him? Be cool?" Rex questioned in disbelief and laughed.

"You're a demon!" Robbie insulted him, glaring at Rex.

"You guys," Cat calls out as she walks over to the group. "Sikowitz really wants everybody back in class."

"And you really wanted a date to the prom last year, but you didn't get one, did ya?" Rex inquired.

"Okay, that was rude." Althea frowned at Rex, shaking her head.

"Rex!" Robbie scolded.

Cat looks at Robbie with a frown. "Tell your puppet to quit being mean to me!"

"Don't call him a puppet!" Robbie exclaims. "That's an offensive term!

"Tori rolls her eyes, patting Andre's shoulder. "Yeah, this school's pretty normal."

"Just please go back to class and tell Sikowitz we'll be there in a minute?" André asked Cat. "You better hurry." Cat spoke before she turned and walked back to class.

"Yeah." Rex agreed and then Robbie walked back to class as he argued with Rex. 

Delia came back after picking a new shirt for Tori. The girls and André gave her a short explanation of what happened and Delia gasps, eyes widening as she looks at Tori with disbelief. "Vega, you're not seriously thinking about transferring out of here are you? Even after I offered to lend you a shirt." She huffed.

"Sorry," Tori smiled, sheepishly at Delia.

"You better hurry." Cat spoke before she turned and walked back to class.

"Yeah." Rex agreed and then Robbie walked back to class as he argued with Rex.

Althea glances at André with slight concern and hope in her eyes. "You got this?" She asked, referring to him convincing Tori to stay at school. She hoped that André would be able to talk Tori out of this. Tori didn't seem like a bad person and Althea would hate for Tori to leave. She really hoped that André could change her mind.

Nodding, Andrè gives her a reassuring smile. "Of course. You two get to class. I'll be there in a few minutes." He told her, reaching over to put his hand on her arm and give it a reassuring squeeze.

Smiling slightly, Althea nods. Andrè takes his hand off her arm as Althea looks at Tori with a an encouraging smile. "You do belong here, Tori. You're talented and I think you'll be able to make it here if you give the school a chance. If you really feel like leaving, then that's up to you, but I don't know about the others, but I would be really sad if you left. So I hope you decide to stay." Her friends looked at her with surprise that she talked that much to someone she barely knew, but they were also touched and proud.

"Thanks, Althea." Tori smiled, genuinely touched by Althea's words. She was really surprised that the girl even talked to her, let alone spoke a whole lot to her. She found out a lot more why Althea would be self conscious of her voice and she understood what the speech impediment was now, but she didn't think Althea should be self conscious. The way her voice sounded was unique and Tori liked it. It was a part of who Althea was and she liked that about her.

"Come on," Delia links her arm through Althea's, glancing at the dark-haired girl with an amused expression. "Let's leave them to talk and get to class." She pauses, turning to Tori with a smile. "Here, you can keep the shirt even if you don't stay. Though I really hope you do stay, because if not then I wasted my time picking a cute shirt." She joked.

"Thank you." Tori chuckled, smiling at Delia as she took the shirt Delia picked for her. Althea and Delia walk back to class, both girls hoping that André could convince Tori to stay.

(delia's outfit for this part of the chapter)

The next day of school, everyone turns to face the door when it opened and Althea smiles widely upon seeing Tori walk in. She was relieved André convinced Tori to stay. She would've missed her if she left. "Tori, you're back." Mr. Sikowitz notices. He sets down the marker he held and turns to face Tori. "Have you ever thought about coming in through the window?"

Tori looks at him weirdly. "No."

Mr. Sikowitz nods. "Thank about it." He gestures for her to sit down. "Now, sit, sit." Tori sits down while Mr. Sikowitz continues. "Today we're going to do some alphabetical improv. Now," He raises his hand. "'What is alphabetical improv?' You ask. So I answer. It's when we give a letter to the first actor who speaks in the scene. If we used the letter 'a' as an example, then the actor must make his first word start with the letter 'a'. Which might go something like..." He pointed at Beck.

Beck points at him. "Apples are falling out of my butt."

"Lovely." Mr. Sikowitz comments. "Now, the next actor who speaks must start his line with the next letter in the alphabet," He began walking throughout the classroom. "In this case, 'b', so he might say..." He stood behind Andre, putting his hands on Andre's shoulders.

"Bring those apples, so that we may all enjoy the fresh fruit from Beck's butt." Andrè replied.

From their place sitting in the front row on the right side beside Andrè, Althea and Delia giggled and shared an amused expression. Something they loved about this class was that it was unpredictable and you never knew what was going to happen. 

"Charming." Mr. Sikowitz pats his shoulders and walks to the front of the classroom. "Now, who wants to lead the first group?"

Tori raises her hand and everyone glances at her. "I do!"

"Alright, Tori." Mr. Sikowitz stands off to the side. "Choose your actors." 

"Okay." Tori stands on stage. "Andrè, Cat, Beck," The others get on stage after she called on them and she smirks at Jade. "...And Jade." Jade raises her eyebrows at her as if she was silently asking if Tori meant her. Tori nods. "Yeah, you." Jade shrugged and got on stage, but not before she kissed her boyfriend, earning an eye roll from Tori. 

"Jade, kiss your boyfriend on your own time." Mr. Sikowitz remarked, walking towards the back of the classroom.

Jade smirks. "Oh, I will."

"Okay, if you start your line with the wrong letter-" Mr. Sikowitz makes a buzzing sound. "You're out." He stomps his foot on the empty chair by Robbie, startling the curly-haired boy. "Robbie," He crosses his arms. "Give us a letter.""

'P'." Rex spoke before Robbie could.MR. Sikowitz points at him. "'P'."

Robbie groans. "Oh, I was going to say 'P'!"

"Okay, the scene can be about anything you want." Mr. Sikowitz explains. "The first letter of the first line is 'P'. Tori, action."

Tori faces Jade. "Please go take a shower."

Jade puts her hands on her hips. "Quit telling me what to do."

Beck walks over to them. "Relax, girls. Let's try to get along."

"Totally!" Cat chimes in and then Sikowitz made a buzzing sound. 

"Oh, my life's the worst!" Cat whined as Mr. Sikowtiz holds up a piece of candy. 

"Here's a piece of candy." Cat smiled widely and quickly ran over to him.

 "Yay, I love candy!" She took the candy from him and sat down. Althea chuckled lightly, looking at her friend with amusement.

"Alright, Andrè, letter 'S' to you." Mr. Sikowitz said.

"Uh," Andrè is nervous for a few seconds before he points at his right foot. "Somethin' just bit my toe."

"Turtle." Tori points at a random direction. "That turtle just bit his toe."

"Unbelievable that you're even here." Jade commented.

Beck looks at Jade with disbelief. "Very immature of you to say that."

Andrè eyes widen slightly as he looks around nervously, not really sure what to say next. "Uh..."

"C'mon, Andrè, 'W'!" Mr. Sikowitz encouraged, making a 'w' with his hands.

"What if the turtle bite broke my toe bone?" Andrè asked.

"X-Rays are the only way to find out." Tori answered.

With a smile, Jade points at her. "You should shut up."

Beck points at Andrè's foot. "Zap! I just healed your toe with my magic finger."

"Thanks!" Andrè responded with a smile. 

Mr. Sikowitz makes a buzzing sound. "Andrè, your line had to start with an 'A'. Sit down.""

Awe," Andrè frowns, walking over to sit down. "And I just got my toe bone fixed." Althea giggled slightly and reached over to pat his arm to comfort him when he sat down, earning a small smile from him.

"Tori, letter 'A' to you." Mr. Sikowitz pointed out.

"Aliens are the only people who can heal toes by finger zapping." Tori explained, pointing at Beck.

"By the way..." Jade rolled her eyes, putting one hand on her hip. She glared at Tori and made a raspberry sound.

"Correct," Beck points at himself. "I am an alien." He confirmed and Tori gasped.

"Oh, a twist." Mr. Sikowitz commented, his voice laced with surprise and curiosity.

Tori pretends to look nervous. "Don't hurt me, please."

Even though she's extremely annoying." Jade chimed in.

"Fainting because I can't breathe your Earth's air." Beck pretended to faint on the ground.

Tori's eyes widen, looking at Jade as she points at Beck. "Gosh, it fainted!"

"Excellent!" Mr. Sikowitz grins. "Tori and Jade, keep going. The next letter's 'H'."

"Hey, why don't you go jump off that cliff over there?" Jade questioned.

"I think you should." Tori argued.

"Just where did you come from?" Jade asked her, looking at her with annoyance.

"Kangaroos." Tori smiled.

"Lousy animals, kangaroos." Jade walks to the other side of the stage with both hands on her hips. "They're awkward and dirty."

Tori smirks, putting both hands on her hips. "Maybe they learned from you."

Althea's eyes widen with surprised and she said 'ooh' along with the rest of the class. Jade glares at Tori. "No one talks to me like that."

"Obviously someone should." Tori crossed her arms, not backing down.

"Please run in front of a bus." Jade pleaded, looking annoyed and frustrated with Tori.

"Quite obnoxious of you to say." Tori voiced.

Jade and Tori continued to go back and forth until Jade messed up which meant she had to go sit down. "Keep this thing going, letter 'G'." Mr. Sikowitz spoke.

"Get up, alien." Tori helped Beck get up.

"Head-feels dizzy." Beck admitted, pretending to act dizzy.

Tori smiles. "I know what'll make you feel better." 

Beck glances at her with confusion. "Jumping jacks?"

"Kiss me." Tori responded, continuing to smile. Althea grimaced, glancing back at her friend to see if she was alright. Jade sat up straighter, staring at Tori with disbelief. Althea could see the anger and frustration flash in Jade's eyes.

"Let's do it." Beck said and the two teens kissed each other. Mr. Sikowitz was now sitting down and he had a proud look on his face as he began to clap and most of the class joined him on clapping. Jade, however, had an angry look on her face and if looks could kill, Tori would be ten feet under ground now. 

When Tori and Beck pulled away from the kiss, Tori is grinning from ear to ear. "Man, I love this school."

A/N i already love althea & andre so much
