A Victorious Reunion

High School Reunion?!

Today was a beautiful day, and with nowhere to go Tori had decided today was the perfect day to finally unpack some boxes from a few months ago. She had finally found a place for herself out of her parents house. She's never had the time to unpack these boxes of nonessentials, always working 60+ hours a week, she definitely was a busy girl. With two jobs and still finishing college. It has been forever since she's had a weekend off and it's also been forever since she's seen her older sister Trina, so she decided to give her a call for some help with the boxes. She didn't even get to finish her sentence before Trina agreed to come over. And in less then 30 minutes she was there! Trina was so excited to finally see her sister after so long she repeatedly rang the bell like there was no tomorrow. Tori, in the middle of cleaning and not wanting to get up shouted from her room " IT'S OPEN!" And wasting no time the door flew open and Trina ran in to give her little sister a huge hug, knocking her over.

Tori wasn't even annoyed. It had been so long since she saw her sister, she was just happy she could come over. After getting back up and picking up what was also knocked over Trina could not wait to tell her everything on her mind. "I've missed you so much since you finally left mom and dads! Y'know since after I moved out I go over almost every weekend and now every weekend I don't get to see you. You work way too much! You really need to give yourself a day off, you're gonna burn yourself out." Trina has definitely toned down her selfishness, after going to college and getting engaged. Although it still seeps through every once in a while. But she genuinely does believe Tori deserves a day off. She was never able to come to events or even family dinners. "Believe me. I already am! I haven't had a full day off in forever. I'm just glad I can finally get these few boxes unpacked. You know...I haven't even touched them since I moved in. I wonder what's inside?" She cuts it open with a box cutter and the first thing she sees is a Hollywood Arts yearbook.

"So...? What's in it?" Trina looks over Tori's shoulder, realizing what it was she was ecstatic. "Oh my god!!! You still have this?! We have to look through it!" Tori huffed and threw it to the side, Trina's jaw dropped. Tori loved Hollywood Arts, why would she reject an opportunity to look back? "I don't want to waste time looking back on the past. I need to get this stuff unpacked...I work tomorrow." She frowned as she took out more Hollywood Arts related things. Trina sighed. "Oh c'mon you can't just look past all this." She picked up the yearbook and sat next to Tori. "C'monnn I know you miss these days. I know you wanna look!" She shoved the book in Tori's face. Annoying her enough to agree to look through it. "Ok fine! I will. But we NEED to get these boxes unpacked right after." Trina nodded in agreement. "Only for a bit." She hopped onto Tori's bed and patted the spot next to her. Tori lazily climbed onto the bed.

The first few pages of the book were just honoring class leaders and stuff like that. Y'know, all the smart kids. But after turning a few pages they had made it to things such as plays and performances. "Tori look!" Trina pointed to a picture of Tori and her old group of friends, all posing on stage together. "You all look so cute." Tori nodded and sighed. "Yeah. Those days sure were fun..." Trina smirked. The silence made Tori look up to see if Trina was ok. But she knew, Trina had an idea. "No Trina! I'm not going to set anything up, I literally have no time for that!" Trina pouted. "Why not?!" Tori laughs. "Trina...I'm working two jobs! And I'm still in school. I really don't have time for a break." Trina was honestly feeling overwhelmed for her little sister. "I just think it would be fun to throw something together you know? I'm thinking about you. You need a break before you crack. Just request a few days off of work and just skip school!" Tori laughed hysterically. "That's easy for you to say." Trina stayed silent for a few seconds. "You know. When I was in school I skipped all the time and it didn't effect me getting my bachelors." Tori was shocked. According to Trina years ago, she never skipped a day of college. "You're just saying that so I agree." Trina sighed. "No I'm serious! I only said I never skipped because mom and dad were always there! Everyone needs a break Tori. Especially you. And it's be great if that break was spent with people you miss." Tori looked back in the book, staring hard at the picture. She really did miss them. And she wondered what they were up to now. "I guess. But first let's do some social media snooping. You know just to see if they've changed in anyway." Trina got excited and pulled out her phone.
