"Is it Really Just Acting?": A Jortini Fanfiction

Secrets Revealed

(Tini and Jorge are laughing and talking in the kitchen.)

Jorge: Oops, I almost forgot to go check the mail.

Tini: The mail?

Jorge: Yep, be right back..

Tini: I'll come with you

(They both go outside in Jorge's front yard. Tini waits for Jorge to get the mail. She sits on a chair swing in their front porch. Jorge opens the mailbox and pulls out a stack of magazines and packages)

Tini: Woah.

Jorge: Yeah it's a lot isn't it? (He says setting them down next to Tini on the chair swing.)

Tini: It is a lot...

Jorge: Most of them are Stephie's fashion magazines... She orders a lot of beauty and makeup magazines but doesn't even read them!

Tini: What's this? (She says picking up a letter)

Jorge: I don't know...

(He sits next to her on the swing)

Jorge: This is kinda old... I never got the chance to open it.

(Jorge begins opening the letter but Tini interrupts by slapping her forehead!)

Tini: Oh no! I totally forgot!

Jorge: What?

Tini: ugh... I have to watch Lodo... She's being really sneaky lately!

Jorge: What has she done?

Tini: just the weirdest things.. I don't want her to tear your house apart... I should go find her...

Jorge: What is she looking for?

Tini (thinking to herself): i don't know if I should tell Jorge that Lodo is trying to reveal Stephie's secret so I just say:

Tini: I don't know

Jorge: Hm...

Tini: But I have to go find her-

Jorge: No it's okay...stay with me (she tries to get up but takes her hand and she slowly sits back down)

Tini: erm... Okay

(Lodo is searching in every drawer for clues upstairs...)

Lodo (thinking to herself): Ugh there's no clues here!

(Lodo starts walking downstairs but sees Stephie looking for Jorge)

Lodo: Uh oh...

(She hides upstairs in their bedroom)

Jorge: Tini... I need to tell you something....

Tini: Yeah?

Jorge: I...

(Tini looks into Jorge's eyes)

Jorge: I have feelings for you...

Tini: You do?

Jorge: Yeah...

Tini: But...

Jorge: I know you don't feel the same way but-

Tini: I do.

Jorge: huh?

Tini: I feel the same way...

Tini(thinking to herself): of course I like Jorge! But he is with Stephie! Why is he telling me he likes me now?

Jorge: You do?

(Tini nods her head and smiles slightly. For a second they just stare at each other, then Jorge places his hand under Tini's chin and pulls her in close to his face. Tini's eyes widen as she realizes what he is about to do but then closes them and relaxes.)

Stephie (calling from a distance): Jorge! Are you on the porch?!

(Jorge kisses Tini softly for a second and then hears Stephie's voice.)

Jorge: Stephie? (He says turning around)

(Stephie opens the front door and sees Jorge looking at her)

Stephie: Oh there you are Jorge! (She says smiling wide)

(Her smile fades as she notices Tini next to him)

Stephie: What are you two doing here? The party is in the backyard?!

Jorge: Um... We were just...

Tini: Going through the mail?

Stephie: Hey! This is my stuff!

(She takes the magazines and then stares at the letter with her eyes wide open)

Jorge: What's wrong?

Stephie: N-nothing!

(She quickly grabs the letter.)

Tini: I should go check on Lodo now...

Stephie: where is she?

Tini: She's rummaging through your bedroom.

(Stephie eyes fill with rage and she quickly runs inside the house upstairs)

Tini(thinking to herself): Maybe she is hiding something... I'm gonna follow her...

(Lodo tries to sneak out the door but Stephie barges in!)

Stephie: What are you doing here?! Get out!

Lodo: I'm sorry I was looking for the bathroom...

Stephie: It's over here (she puts down all the stacks off magazines, including the letter, on her dresser and pushes Lodo out the door)

(Tini watches from a distance but is not seen. She walks inside the bedroom and opens the letter.)

---

Lodo: Okay listen Stephie!

(Stephie tries to guide her to the bathroom but Lodo turns around)

Lodo: I-I don't actually have to go to the bathroom...

Stephie: I knew it! Why were you in my room?!

Lodo: I just-

(She looks into the distance and sees Martina in the bedroom through a crack in the door)

Lodo: Hey! Tini!

Stephie (turning around to Tini): Hey! Get out of there!

(Stephie tries to push Tini out but freezes when she sees the letter, opened, in Tini's hand)

Tini: I can't believe this...

(Tini's eyes widen)

Stephie: I can explain...

Lodo: What does it say?!

Stephie: It's none of your business!

Tini: You have been keeping this from all of us... Why?

Stephie: I-I... Um...

Lodo: What is going on?! What secret have you been keeping from everyone?

(Stephie gulps and looks down)

Stephie: I... went to the doctors to check up on my sickness... and...

Tini: You're...

Stephie: Pregnant...
