I was sitting eating lunch with Jade, Cat, Beck, and Andre.

"You guys know there's this germ called... That you can get from a spider. Crawling into your mouth when you're sleeping, then your uvula swells up really big so you can't breathe, and they have to cut a hole right here to drain the pus from your throat," Jade said.

"I'll just eat this pudding cup later," Andre said.

"So does anybody want some candy?" Cat asked. We all said yes. Cat handed us all a gumdrop from her bra. Trina was walking around making some weird noises.

"Wow. She is just awful," Beck said.

"The worst thing I've ever heard," Jade said running her hand through my hair.

"That's right," Andre said.

"Hey, I have a question," Cat said.

"What?" Andre asked.

"Every kid has to audition to get into Hollywood arts, right?" Cat asked.

"Mm-hmm," The boys said.

"Yup," Jade said.

"And Trina has no talent, right?" Cat asked.

"None whatsoever," Beck said.

"No," Jade said.

"Then how did she pass her audition and get to go to school here?" Cat asked.

"You haven't heard the story?" Jade asked.

"No, but I love stories!" Cat said. 

"I'll tell it," Andre said. I zoned out cuddling into Jade's side. I was brought out of my thoughts by Jade poking my side. 

"We've got to get to class," Jade said.

"Please tell me! Please tell me now! I'll give you a gummy bear! Jelly Bean? A pinto Bean? What are you into?!" Cat yelled after us as we walked to our lockers.

"Mads, are you okay?" Beck asked.

"I'm totally fine," I said.

"She's been killing herself between football, work and school," Jade said. Cat, Andre, Jade and I sat on the steps while Beck stood up. I sat on Jade's lap as Sikowitz walked over.

"Fyi, I'm gonna be late for class," Sikowitz said.

"Why?" Cat asked.

"What's up?" Beck asked.

"Again?" Jade asked.

"I got a call from my housekeeper. Apparently there's an odd smell coming from under my bed," Sikowitz said.

"What do you think it is?" I asked.

"Oh, I know what it is," Sikowitz said leaving.

"Okay, looks like we got some time," Andre said.

"Yay, so tell me how Trina really got into Hollywood arts," Cat said.

"All right. Here's the real story..." Jade was about to start when Cat pulled candy out of her bra and ate it. "So, four years ago. Trina did her audition, and it was like torture but not the good kind," Jade said before she continued to tell us that Trina knocked out the staff with some sort of gas and signed yes on all the forms. "And when they woke up, they had no memory of what happened, and that is how Trina got into Hollywood arts," 

"Well, that is a fantastic story... that never happened," Beck said.

"That's how I heard it," Jade said.

"Well, anyone want some licorice?" Cat asked. 

"I'll take some," Andre said. Cat started pulling licorice from her bra.

"Jade?" Cat asked. Jade pulled a pair of scissors from her boot and cut the licorice. Cat handed us all some licorice.

We all moved to sit in Sikowitz's classroom. I was laying on the floor while the others sat on chairs.

"Trina did not get into this school by using knock-out gas," Beck said.

"That's the story I've always heard," Jade said.

"I don't think it's true," Andre said.

"I dunnooo Trina is kinda kooky in the head. A little nutty in the ol' noggin. Some girls are like that, y'know," Cat said. We all agreed. "Right?" 

"Okay. Do you wanna know how Trina really got into Hollywood arts?" Beck asked.

"Oh, yes. Tell us, oh great Beck who knows everything except how to keep a girlfriend happy," Jade said.

"You hate being happy," Beck said. "And Mads was always happy," 

"Mads is the easiest person to make happy," Jade said. I smiled.

"Just

"All right! Four years ago, Trina came here to audition..." Beck was cut off by Cat.

"What are you doing?" Cat asked Andre.

"While Beck tells the story, I'm gonna try and visualize it, as it happened," Andre said.

"Oooo, me too!" Cat said starting to rub Andre's temples.

"Okay. So Trina was auditioning..." Beck said. He told us how Trina fought all 5 teachers and won so they let her into Hollywood Arts. "And that's what happened," 

"Oh, and I'm "crazy" to think that the knock-out gas story is true," Jade said.

"You seriously think Trina got into this school by ninja-whackin' five teachers?" Andre asked.

"It's the story I heard," Beck said.

"Wait. Sikowitz had hair?" Cat asked.

Sikowitz came back to school and we were sat listening to him explain what the smell under his bed was.

"So here's my bedroom at home and see, underneath the bed that's where I keep the extra sandwiches. So apparently, the smell was coming from a tuna melt that I made last..." Sikowitz was cut off by Tori bursting in.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry I'm late," Tori said.

"It's cool," Beck said.

"Yeah. We're just listenin' to a very long story. About the smell coming from under Sikowitz's bed," Andre said.

"What?" Tori asked.

"Not as long as Beck's long story about how Trina got into this school," Jade said.

"Yeah, um, how did your sister get into this school?" Andre asked Tori and I.

"Not my sister," I said.

"Uhhh, I don't know. I guess she just auditioned and got in," Tori said.

"But she's untalented," Cat said.

"Cat, that's mean. And true. How did she get in?" Tori asked sending the entire class into a discussion as to how Trina got in.

"Children...Kids... Eh, eh, eh... I can tell you how Trina got into Hollywood arts," Sikowitz said. I zoned out again.

"Hey... Does anyone smell Sushi?" I asked.

"Yeah... It smells kinda like salmon," Andre said.

"No. No, I think it's... It's yellowtail," Beck said.

"No. Wait, maybe it's..." Cat started.

"It's squid! All right, it's squid! It's squid!" Tori outburst.

"Wait. Where's Robbie?" Sikowitz asked.
