Monday. 21st December.
It was the middle of the day, and Tori was heading to her locker. Walking down the stairs, she passed the corridor, turning her head she saw Michael. He was at his locker, packing stuff into his back. Tori sighed as she shook her head. Debating with herself to actually give him the time of day, and go over to him. At the same time, she wanted to know his problem.
Tori looked at her feet before looking at Michael again, he looked around before looking at Tori locking eye contact. The both of them stared, before Tori walked off. Yep, this was turning into a fucked up situation.
Tori stood at her locker, packing notebooks into her bag, and taking not needed stuff from her bag and putting them into her locker. She looked at herself in her small mirror. Grabbing her earphones from her locker, she plugged them into her phone. Unwinding them, she stood looking before something made her turn. Movement at the side of her eye.
"So is it true?" Michael bellowed out slightly. "What?!" Tori asked, before looking around the empty corridor. "Is it true, that...the other night you tongue tied with my best friend?" He asked her.
Shiiit.
"Uh..." Tori began. "Oh my god, i cant believe it" Michael scoffed and laughed. "And whats it got to do with you?!" Tori then asked him, as result to his pissed off tone. "You made out with my best friend Tori!" He told her. "Yeah...well he started it, and also...oh yeah its fuck all to do with you! Your not my boss...my puppet master!" She told him. "So you just make it a habit to sleep with someone, then tongue his friends?" He asked her.
"First of all .... friend. Second of all .... why are you so pissed off? This, is nothing. No strings attached!" She told him, pointing to herself then him. "So thats give you the right to pull the slut card?!" He scoffed turning away. "Its nothing to do with you! Nothing! You dont nor cant control me!" Tori shouted a little. Realising, she stood staring at him. "The slut card?" She repeated.
"That came out wrong..." Michael looked at her. "No. You called me a slut, because your friend and I kissed. Im sorry, that because we're whatever the fuck this is...i cant do anything with anyone" Tori nodded. "Your over reacting" Michael sighed. "Am i?! You just called me a slut, you havent been talking with me for weeks....what the fuck is going on? Suddenly after everything, the silent treatment, the dirty looks..im the bad person?!" Tori pointed to herself.
"I was...that....no!" Michael denfended himself. "No, i get it. Thanks Michael...i cant believe i was actually stupid enough to fall for your bullshit games. I thought i was so much smarter...i really did!" Tori folded her arms. "No, you dont get it" Michael shook his head. "I get it ...perfectly" Tori nodded as she grabbed her bag.
"Oh...here! Have a good holiday!" Tori snatched a small wrapped gift from her locket and pushed her, forcefully into Michael before slamming her locker shut. "See you around..." She told him sarcastically before walking off.

Tori walked down the corriodor. "Tori?" A voice disturbed her. "Oh shit" She sighed as she shook her head. Could she just run?
Turning, she saw Ashton walk towards her. Jeans, boots, band shirt with holes cut out and a leather jacket. His hair, was pushed over to one side of his head as he walked towards her, his jaw line prominent. Looking slightly irritated. Another person, she's apprently pissed off?
"Hey?" Tori nodded. "Hey" He then smiled stopping in front of her. "Whats up...?" Tori asked him. "Uh, Mikey" He nodded. "Whats he done?" She asked him, sighing. "Well, he's uh...not talking with me. I dont know why, but he seems rather pissed that...we I kissed ya the other night" He nodded. "It was the alcohol, and its nothing to do with him" Tori shrugged.
"Well....try telling him that!" He nodded, wide eyed. "Tell him to grow up!" Tori tutted as she turned. "Has something happened with you two...it seems weird and confusing" Ashton asked her, walking beside her. "No." Tori forefully told him. "So...?" He asked. "What?" Tori stopped and sighed looking up at him. "Calm...down, are you okay?" He asked.
Sighing Tori shook her head. "No. Mikey, spoke with me too. I dont know what his problem is...but its nothing to do with me, and im staying out of it. I didnt do shit to him!" She told Ash. "So why he is so...butt hurt about the other night?" Ashton asked. "I dont know! It doesnt matter anyway. You didnt mean it right?" Tori asked him as she walked on.
"Uh...actually I did" He told her. Tori stopped again and looked at him, quite shocked. "What?" She asked. "Well yeah. Your a cool girl, i like you" He nodded.
Aw...fuck!
"Ash...." She trailed off. "Look, i know..thats a lot to drop on you. And yes, you may not like me...like thay but...i had to at least try and figure out if i really liked you" He shrugged. Tori stood, staring at him rather speechless. "Oh..." Was all she could try and say. "Look...i'll try talk with Mike. I dont know, if he'll calm down but hopefully. I'll uh, text you tonight? And we can...talk rather than dragging this sorta thing out" He smiled.
"Because...thats kinda...weird" He admitted. "And it may turn into something bigger" Tori nodded looking at him. "Yeah, exactly. Ill talk later then." He smiled and patted her shoulder. "Oh Ashton?" Tori asked. "hmm?" He turned. "Who...how did Michael know?" She asked him. "Oh, my cousin. Filled him in about the parrty...turns out, we werent exactly alone. He saw us from in the kitchen" He shrugged and smiled.
Tori nodded and smiled. "Oh" She then shrugged a little. He liked her? Like, properly liked her? "See ya" He smiled, widely before winking and walking off.
Tori put her head to her hands and took a heavy sigh. "Fucking, shit!" She spoke to herself, rather pissed off. This was just great.
