Yerbanian Spies

Chapter 2

At Hollywood Arts, later that day, Tori found Andre, Robbie, Jade and Cat in the hallway.

"I don't want to go back to Yerba." Cat pouted. "What if there are spies in Hollywood Arts, right now?"

"Stop saying that, Cat," Tori said. She felt a shiver run up her spine just thinking about going back to that horrible place.

"Starting to see eyes in the shadows, Vega?" Jade asked with a smirk.

"It's not funny or even the slightest bit amusing," Tori said, crossing her arms.

"I don't want to go back," Cat repeated, twirling her hair nervously.

"Cat, we won't," Jade said, irritated.

"Andre, what do you think?" Tori asked.

"Honestly, I don't know what to think," Andre said. "If there are spies, I'm not waiting until I get captured and sent back to Yerba."

"How do we know there aren't spies here already?" Cat asked as she looked around the room. "Anybody could be a spy. See that boy over there?" She pointed. "He could be a spy!"

"Right," Jade said with a chuckle.

"If it makes you guys feel any better, we could meet up for pizza and a movie after classes," Tori suggested desperately.

"That would only make you feel better," Jade said.

"Yes, it would!" Tori pleaded. "Please, you guys?"

"Sure, I'm in," Andre said casually, and Tori smiled.

"Sounds like fun," Robbie admitted.

"Count me in as well," Beck added.

Jade glanced at her boyfriend. "Fine, whatever," she added in a small voice. "The movie better be good."

Later that evening, everyone was enjoying the movie at Tori's house. As usual, they were gathered in her living room, lounging on the sofas. Not everyone was paying attention to the movie, though. Jade couldn't stop thinking about the possibility of Yerabian spies being in LA.

"You guys up for eating?" Jade asked during a break in the movie.

"Pizza?" Beck guessed.

"Spot on," Jade said.

"Okay." Tori sighed, not feeling in the mood for food. "What do you guys want on it?"

"Pepperoni?" Andre, Robbie, and Beck said all in unison.

"I'll have a veggie pizza," Jade suggested.

"Sure," Tori answered. She she picked up her phone and ordered the pizzas."Yes, I'd like to order two large pizzas: One pepperoni, one veggie," she said into the phone...And then 30 minutes later, the doorbell rang and Cat answered it.

"Tori, pizza's here," Cat said.

"It's one pepperoni and a veggie pizza, right?" the delivery man asked, with a very strange accent.

"Yes, that's right," Cat muttered. Then she paused, thinking. "That accent's very familiar."

"Is it?" the delivery man asked. "I am not from America."

Cat squealed, and without hesitation, she slammed the door.

"Cat!" Jade said angrily. "What are you doing?"

"That guy," Cat started, a bit out of breath. "That guy's from..." – she lowered her voice – "Yerba!"

"What?" Tori asked her. "He's from Yerba? How do you know?"

"The accent!" Cat said defiantly. "And he says he's not from America."

"That doesn't mean he has to come from Yerba, right?" Andre asked. "He could be from anywhere."

"Wait, why would they choose a foreign man to deliver our pizza?" Cat asked.

"Cat, we live in Los Angeles. Lots of people here have foreign accents," Tori clarified.

"And you just slammed the door on the delivery man and now our pizza's getting cold!" Jade said irritatedly as she stood up. She walked towards the door and then opened it.

"Sorry about that," Jade said, snatching the money from Cat's hand and paying the delivery man. She saw Cat fidgeting around nervously and it was driving her crazy. "Hey, would you mind if I ask you where you are from?" she asked the delivery man before he departed.

"I am from Bulgaria," the man said, then left.. Jade closed the door and looked at Cat with an I-told-you-so look.

"Oh...but if they were from Yerba, they wouldn't exactly admit it would they?" Cat spoke bluntly.

"Ughh," Jade groaned. "Cat, just get it through that pretty little head of yours! There's no Yerbanian spies. And even if there were, they wouldn't be looking for us."

Cat opened her mouth to speak.

"No," Jade interrupted her.

Cat attempted it again.

"Don't think about it!"

Cat pouted.

After settling Cat down, they enjoyed the pizza and the rest of the movie.

"Well, we still have some left over," Beck said with a sigh.

"Mom, can you put the leftovers in the fridge?" Tori asked. Her mom agreed, grabbing the leftover pizza slices to be put in the fridge.

After the leftovers were put away, the gang breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that there wasn't anyone after them.... or was there?

THE END!
