The morning after the Cow Wow Tori woke up by Trina's scream. Groaning she turned to the other side, but when she was almost falling asleep again, her sister screamed a second time. This time it was her name. "Toriii!"

Tori groaned louder and looked at her clock. It was nine in the morning. Couldn't her silly sister at least let her have some time to rest on a Sunday? Grumpily she got up and changed her clothes.

When she went down the stairs into the living room, Trina was sitting on the couch and staring at her phone. Typing, staring. Typing, staring. "What the hell are you doing, Trina? Don't you know it's only nine in the morning?", she asked and added almost screaming: "On a Sunday?"

Her sister turned around to her with a face that caused Tori grimace disgustedly. Trina noticed it and thanked her for it ironically.

Tori went into the kitchen to get some orange juice. Sometimes it helped her to calm down. "You won't believe what happend!", Trina screamed, standing up from the couch and coming towards Tori, who was just opening the fridge and taking the bottle of orange juice.

"Why do you think I'd care?", Tori asked in a more grumpy way than she had intended. "Why? Because this is unbelievable!" Trina pointed at her phone, the screen turned to herself.

"And what is it?" Why could her sister not finally get to the point? Trina moaned loudly. "Remember Sinjin hacked TheSlap to get me more followers?" Tori nodded sighing. "Of course, I'm still angry with you two because of that. We could have gotten an A for our short film, but no! You had to come and hold your huge amount of followers into my face!"

"Oh my God, you really think you could top the B plus I had last semester, don't you?", Trina gibed, what made Tori groan again. "It was your group who got the B plus, you were only sitting there and coloring your nails", she shot back.

Trina looked at her in an ashamed way, but covered it making an irritated grimace right away. "Who told you that?" Tori grimaced even more irritatedly. "Umm... you did! You proudly told me that your group was only nerds, who got you a B plus, the best mark you had ever gotten in this class, and you hadn't even done anything for it but only sat around and colored your nails."

Trina looked unhappy, because her younger sister had confronted her with the truth, but she continued. "Anyway..." Tori smiled amusedly and took a huge mouthful of orange juice out of the bottle. "Sinjin must have returned the amount of my followers to only 50." She looked at Tori angrily.

Tori swallowed the juice and then just shook her head still smiling. She was pretty glad that Trina finally had gotten the amount of followers she deserved.

"So?" Trina was still waiting for a response. Tori shook her shoulders. "What?" "Won't you tell me anything?" Trina stared into Tori's eyes as if she was going to kill her. "What, do you think I returned your amount of followers?" She couldn't believe her own sister reproached her for this.

"For sure not." Tori sighed in relief and looked away. "You're not smart enough to do that. I think you asked Sinjin to return it", Trina finally said.

Tori stared back at her with an open mouth. "Seriously?", she asked calmly, raising her eyebrows. "Yeah." Trina looked and sounded very serious. Why wasn't Tori surprised? Her popularity meant the most to Trina. But she was still her sister!

"Trina, you know I'd never do this to you. No matter what you had done!" Tori meant it, she really loved her sister. Even though she was kind of insane. Trina didn't look very convinced, but she let go of it.

Tori took another huge mouthful of orange juice and had to control herself very well not to spit it all out or choke on it when Trina continued. "I don't care why Sinjin did this, but I'm gonna visit him today!" Tori tried to calm herself down to swallow the juice before she responded: "You? You wanna visit Sinjin at home?"

She stared at Trina in the greatest disbelief she had ever felt, but Trina just sighed and shook her head. "Do you never look at his slap page?" Tori kept staring at her. "Not really... You do?", she asked calmly and grimacing.

"Well... sometimes", Trina answered a little ashamed. "Almost everyday he tweets that he's watching Jade through her window, so I'm gonna drive to her house and meet him there." "So everyday means sometimes lately?", Tori gibed Trina, putting the orange juice back into the fridge. Trina gave her a mad look.

"Why didn't you ever tell Jade?", Tori eventually wanted to know. "She could just look at Sinjin's slap page, but she doesn't." "Yeah, for reasons!" "Well, it's not my problem!", Trina just contered. "And don't expect me to tell you if he ever tweets something about you again."

She was just about to turn around, but Tori held her back at her shoulder. "Again? He tweeted about me?" "Maybe", Trina simply replied turning around and walked to the stairs to go into her room.

"What did he tweet?", Tori screamed after her. "Go to his slap page and you'll see", Trina almost sang. Tori sighed and went through her hair with her hand. Of course she wouldn't. Probably Trina was just bluffing anyway.

Instead, she decided to call Andre and ask him if he wanted to hang out. There was no more homework for tomorrow and no tests were going to be written. She was glad to hear his voice after Trina had annoyed her early in the morning already. As if she wasn't used to it.

"Hey Tori, what's up?", Andre greeted her on the phone. "Hey Andre. I just wanted to ask you if you'd like to come over today." "Oh... I'm really sorry Tori, but today I won't be able to make it."

Tori was surprised. "Why not?" "Cause I gotta care for my grandma today. She almost died last night, so she needs someone to look after her." Andre sounded very frightened while saying this and Tori was shocked.

"Oh my God, what happened?" Andre responded something to his grandma, but Tori couldn't understand it. Then she heard his grandma scream: "Well, then I guess you have to get much butter!"

Tori widened her eyes and Andre was loud enough to hear him at the phone again. "Sorry, my grandma just squeezed under her bed again. Looks like I'll have to buy a lil butter." That was an understatement of course. To get the elder lady out of there it needed a lot and not only butter but also power and patience, because she wouldn't even think of coming out voluntarily. "If you want to, you can help me get her out."

Tori was just about to tell him, that she'd rather care for Trina, when her sister came running down. "Tori, I'm gonna go to Jade's house now and I need you for my plan." "What plan?", Tori asked carefully. "What do you think? You're gonna distract Jade while I'm talking to Sinjin."

"Why do you want me to distract Jade?" "So she won't notice me through the window?", Trina sighed as if it was the most obvious thing. "Just wear camouflage clothing", Tori simply suggested. She wasn't happy about Trina's plan at all. "Oh God, no! That looks gross!", Trina screamed.

Tori thought about what was less terrible and decided to help Andre. "Sorry Tri, but I already promised Andre to help him care for his grandma", she replied. "I'm already on my way Andre, see you!" With these words she quit the call and put on her coat.

"But Tori, I'm your sister!", Trina argued. "Yeah, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna distract Jade for you." "Why not?" "You're insane, Trina. Does popularity really mean so much to you?" Trina looked at Tori in disbelief. "Is this a serious question?"

Tori sighed. "Just ask him tomorrow at school.", she suggested, already opening the front door of the Vega house. "I need my followers today, don't you get it?" Tori wished Trina good luck, before she eventually left the house and walked to Andre.
