Tori's P.O.V.I know Soda told me to meet him at the DX this morning, but seeing a group of girls fawning over him is not my cup of tea. I'm only about 6 feet away from the door and I can already see his two fangirls from here.
I know Soda would have a better shot at love being with a Soc, but in the back of my head I can hear Toni telling me how we fit together well. But frankly, I am not a firm believer of opposites attract. If I am being honest to myself, me and Dally would probably be a better match. As much as I hate that guy, I am not good enough for someone like Soda.
The bell on the door rings as I swing it open, attracting the attention of everyone at the counter.
The two girls at the counter stop their conversation with Soda and their smiles drop from their face. Have I mentioned the uptight girls don't enjoy my presence as much as I don't enjoy theirs?
I smile at Soda as he throws me a wave. The girls continue to stare me up and down,
"Have you girls found something that caught your attention?" I ask them.
"No, we were just leaving." The blonde replies, still scowling at me.
She drags her brunette head friend behind her. But before she leaves out the door she turns to Soda, "Bye Soda, I hope to see you again soon," she then smirks at me, "hope we can continue our conversation without any interruptions."
I roll my eyes at her and Soda continues to stat silent, ignoring her comments. After she leaves I make my way to the counter taking a seat right on top of it.
"Did that one not catch your eyes?" I chuckle at Soda.
He frowns at me, "Actually no, none of them do. I don't really like when they come in here to just see me, when they don't even buy anything."
"Oh, stop it. I know you like the attention from all the pretty girls. You have so many to choose from, I'm surprised you haven't asked one out on a date yet," I smirk at him.
To be honest, I don't know why those words came out of my mouth. Maybe it's just me trying to push my feelings away and lying to myself.
Soda shakes his head at me and whispers something under his breath.
"I can't hear you when you mumble Soda."
"That's because I didn't want you to hear it." Soda laughs. He comes around the counter to where I'm sitting and picks me off the counter to place me down. "I told you that you can't sit up there, you're going to get me in trouble."
"Maybe I just do it so you can come and take me off yourself," I smile.
Soda puts his hands on his hips and blinks at me, "you're very confusing Tori."
"What, why?"
Soda ignores my question, "okay, I have to get back to work and you're distracting me."
"Soda, you're the one who asked me to come here, and now you're kicking me out?" I pout.
"I changed my mind, you're very distracting today." Soda answers.
"What are you talking about, I'm doing the same thing I always do." I say.
Soda stares at me and laughs to himself, "I know," he simply says.
I eye him carefully, "Fine then I'll leave since you don't want me around." I say turning around.
But before I can leave, Soda grabs my arm and and pulls me into his chest hugging me. He then whispers into my hair, "The only girl I like coming in here giving me attention is you, but you need to stop giving me mixed signals talking about other girls."
I pull away from him shocked, "what are you talking about?"
Soda leans on the counter removing his arms from around me, "It's not just a schoolgirl crush and you know it."
My mouth opens slightly as I am standing so confused.
Soda smiles gently at me, "I heard your conversation with Toni this morning," he pauses, "and I do like you back Tori."
My eyes widen, and my mouth is still slightly open but I still have nothing to say.
Soda laughs, "Stop being so dramatic, even if I didn't hear your conversation it's obvious."
"What?! No it's not." I say, trying to defend myself.
Soda puts his hand on top of my head, "I'll see you tonight. Make sure you come by for dinner."
I huff and storm out, and I can hear Soda laughing to himself.
Maybe I'm the only one with common sense that me and Soda don't belong with each other.

After leaving the DX, I made my way to my own house being able to see my mother before she left for her night shift at the hospital. Before she left of course she asked where Toni was. She was surprised to find out that I didn't know either.
"You and your brother are always together, what happened? Did you guys get into a fight?" She asks while fixing her uniform. I don't know why she cares so much when people only see her through a window to get checked in.
"No it's not that, I think lately Toni wants to do his own thing." I reply.
"And you're okay with that?" My mother asked glancing at me through the mirror.
I'm not going to tell her that I am not okay with it, because I think he's up to no good and I'm worried about him. That would only make her worry as well, "I do miss him, but eventually he needs to do his own thing."
My mother gives me a warm smile, "you're right, but I hope you two keep your bond. Theres none out there like what twins have."
I smile back at my mother and giving her a nod, showing her that I understand.
"Okay, well I have to head out, I will see you tomorrow. And tell both of your brothers that I love them and to stay safe."
"Okay Mom, I will."
She grabs the top of my head giving it a kiss, "I love you as well, take care of yourself, and don't stay out too late please. And next time you two decide to stay at the Curtis's, please give a call. I don't know how many time I have to tell you."
"Why doesn't Keith have to call?" I ask.
"Because he is already eighteen years old young lady, but you two are not." She replies. She gives me one last hug before she heads out the door.
Tonight I am going to find out what Toni has been up to.
