Camping with Sikowitz - Jori

Chapter 3 : Tori's POV

"Okay so Tori will be ..." she paused a few second "Me!" she ended proud of her

"What?" I asked, not knowing if I heard right

"Don't play the dumb girl with me Vega, I know you're not!" she exclaimed

Wait, did she really say that? Did she really admitted that she doesn't think I'm a dumb girl? I cannot believe it! Jade West said something nice (or at least not mean) to me?!

"I mean, you're not deaf! You heard me!" she quickly corrected herself

"To be clear, you'll have to be a heartless bitch" I heard Rex say

Robbie quickly apologized for him, saying that he didn't mean it but Rex's arm was already far away in the bushes

"Reeeeex!" Robbie shouted, running into the bushes

We all laughed, except Jade of course, but I could see a grin on her face. She was apparently proud of her which was not a big surprise for me

"Okay so while Robbie is looking for Rex's arm, why don't we begin to eat?" Sikowitz asked

"Yeah!" Cat shouted "Tori, Jade and I made you delicious lasagna!"

"Yeah, Jade was very helpful" I added on an ironic ton

"I know, you cannot do anything if I'm not around, I understand!" she said with a smirk

This girl is definitely impossible! She always finds a way to say that she's amazing and thousands of other qualities. I'm not saying that she's not amazing, I have to admit that she's extremely talented: she is an incredible actress, a dancer and her voice is just wonderful! Plus, she's also beautiful with her long dark hair and her blue flashes. I'll never say all of that to her of course because I don't want to die, but she doesn't leave me unaffected. I know that behind the aggressive and impulsive girl, there is a sensitive and vulnerable one. I saw that girl when Jade came to me after she broke up with Beck, but Jade will never show this other girl. It'll ruin the reputation of the big bad girl she made for herself.

Robbie joined us about 15 minutes after the beginning of the dinner. He had found Rex's arm but couldn't put it back so Rex was going to stay armless for the rest of the holiday! We finished the dinner pretty quickly, talking about things and others. We hadn't begun Sikowitz's exercise yet so Sikowitz did the washing up, knowing that this was the only time he would do it.

We decided to play Truth or Dare before going back to our respective tents. So we took chairs, sat in a circle and Cat began the game on her PearPhone

"Okay so, Beck! Truth or Dare?"

"Hmm Truth"

We waited a few seconds for Cat's phone to ask the question

"Are you actually dating someone?" Cat read

"Yes" he mumbled

Why did he mumble? Everybody know that he's dating Jade, it's not a secret.

"I don't think I heard right!" Jade exclaimed "Did you forget that you dumped me a week ago and said that this time was the last? Did you already forget that?!"

Wait, what?! They broke up? The famous Hollywood Arts' couple broke up for good?

"I know, I wasn't talking about you!" he answered louder, interrupting my thoughts

"You're already dating someone else? I hope you're kidding me!" Jade continued

"Yeah Jade, I am dating someone else and before you ask, no I didn't broke up with you to be with her"

"So who is this girl?" she asked angrily

"None of your business!" he shouted

Wow, I never saw Beck that angry, especially towards his girlfriend (now ex-girlfriend I guess)

Jade didn't insist, it was a waste of her time because apparently, Beck wasn't even thinking of telling us who his new girlfriend was.

"Hmm so, Andre Truth or Dare?" Cat asked shyly

"Dare!"

"Sing your favourite song" Cat read on her PearPhone

"Easy! Tori will you sing it with me?" He asked, looking at me

"Sure" I simply answered, knowing what he wanted to sing

All my attention baby
My extra time
There's nothin' I won't give you
Girl if you were mine

Six million times I'm thinkin'
About your face
You know I'm crazy for you
Let me count the ways

Too many girls I'm chasin'
I've had my fun
But all the time was wasted
Girl you know that you're the one

It's a countdown to your love
You're my number one girl
It's a countdown fallin' faster
Don't think I'm gon' last now

Wait a minute
I said wait a minute, wait a minute
Ooh Ooh

10, you're beautiful
9, you're amazing
8, you're contagious
Every time I look at you
6, you're a star
5, who you are
4, 3 know you want me
Don't you know that I want you too
You're the one (Yeah)

It's a countdown to your love
You're my number one girl
It's a countdown fallin' faster
Don't think I'm gon' last now

It's a countdown!

We ended our song and resumed playing.

Robbie danced like a robot and Cat told us one of her brother's story

"Tori truth or dare?" Cat asked

"Truth" I answered

"Who is the most attractive person here?" she read

Oh god, I can't say Jade, she will kill me and everybody will know that I'm into girls... It isn't such a big deal, I'm sure none of them are going to judge me but still, I don't want them to know for now

"So Tori? Your answer? And we don't want a lie!" Andre called me

"Jade?" I said shyly, more like a question

Nobody said anything, not even Jade. I saw something in her eyes but curiously it was not the anger I thought I would see. No, it was something else but I couldn't tell what. It quickly disappeared and the game continued. Nothing special happened because we were playing on the soft mode for this time.

We stopped the game at around 11 pm and we prepared ourselves  bed. The tent was just big enough for the three of us to stand up and sleep without touching each others. We slipped in our pyjamas and 10 minutes later, everybody was asleep. Everybody except for me, I felt tired but the sleep just wouldn't come! I was too preoccupied thinking about what I saw in Jade eyes, she wasn't angry when I said her I found her attractive, the thing I saw in her eyes looked like fear but that's not possible. Jade West isn't afraid of me or whatever I can say. It took one more hour for me to fall asleep. The last thing I saw was Jade's peaceful and sleeping face next to me
