Mrs Oliver’s POV
I sat down in the second row of the theatre and watched Beck acting like a pro. I felt really proud
He sometimes smiled at me from the stage and I couldn’t help but smile back.
When the play came to an end, every one of us stood up and loudly gave an applause It was really emotional and interesting.
Afterwards, the vote of thanks by the principal was performed and the dignitaries amongst us were applauded.
The last person who was the most important was called upon.
I didn’t hear the name they called properly but I looked forward to seeing his face
He climbed the stage and turned. My eyes widened as my brain came to recognition. Everyone was clapping except me. I lowered my face so he wouldn’t see me
What the heck is Mark doing here?
I thought he was in Washington DC
Why do I have to meet him again?
Gosh!
I lifted my face and he was already climbing down the stage. I looked away before he sat down on the first row
The show came to an end. I searched for Beck but couldn’t see him. I wonder if I’m allowed backstage
I walked towards the stage when a girl mistakenly hit my hand while hurrying towards the stage. My hand bag fell to the floor and I frowned at her angrily
Girl: old lady, can’t you be more careful while walking? This is a school not an elderly home
She smirked, kicked my bag a little further and left.
I frowned
Well if I was introduced as a dignitary earlier, she wouldn’t be so rude to me
I bent down and took my bag. When I looked up, I saw a group of girls surrounding Beck and visibly flirting with him.
I giggled
He is just like his father
I moved towards them. They didn’t even care about my presence, they kept flirting with my son and asking him for different favours
Girl: hey everyone move away!
The girls looked at the other girl who was rude to me earlier. They laughed at her and faced Beck again That was when he saw me
Beck: mom
He pushed them aside and hugged me. I hugged him tight and felt emotional
Beck: I’m happy you came
Me: you’re just like your dad, perfect in every way
He chuckled and I squished his cheek.
The mean girl just stared at us looking somewhat ashamed
Beck : hi Trina
Me: you know her?
Beck: not really, I saw her just once
Trina: uhm, hi Beck’s mom
I stared at her slightly and looked at Beck
Me: are you coming home now or you still have unfinished business?
Beck: I still have unfinished business
Me: good, don’t get stressed out okay. I love you
Beck : I love you too mom
He bent down and kissed my cheek
I smiled and left
I am feeling so proud

Trina Vega’s POV
And I’m so stupid.
How could I have messed up like this?
Why didn’t I realize that it was his mother?
Their noses are very similar. I would have just guessed it and wouldn’t have been so rude to her.
Just imagine if I was actually nice to her, maybe we would have gotten along well and I could have a chance with Beck but I ruined it.
Nevertheless, I’ll keep trying.
I like Beck and nothing is going to stop me from getting him. Not his mother or my sister can
She has never stopped me and she won’t stop me now

Tori Vega’s POV
Where the heck is that awesome kisser?
What is he doing?
I want him to meet my dad
I’ve been feeling so great since he asked me out
And I love this new feeling. Beck is my Dream Come True
I looked through the curtains to see if he was in the theatre. He wasn’t there.
I sighed sadly and turned back.
Me: whoaa
I almost fell back because I was frightened but he held me up
Beck: I’ve been looking for you
Me: I think I’m the one who’s supposed to say that
He chuckled and squeezed my left hand softly. Chills ran down my spine and I felt goose bumps on my skin
Me: uhm, are you tired
Beck: maybe
He was staring intently at my eyes making me feel all woozy
I turned him around and we walked towards the dressing room
Beck: how’s tomorrow gonna be? I’m picking you up right?
I nodded.
He brought out his phone and held my shoulder
Beck: selfie time
I chuckled and looked up at the camera
It clicked about two times before he brought the phone down. We checked the two pictures
Me: wow, you’re so photogenic Beck
Beck: you can say that again
We laughed and walked further until we met Sichowitz
Sichowitz : there’s my two favorite students
Beck and I looked at each other with a puzzled look
when did we become his favorite students?
Sichowitz : here is the key to my apartment and in this paper is the address written.
Beck collected it
Beck: do you have security cameras in your room?
Sichowitz : yes I don’t
Me: wait… Yes you do, or no you don’t
Sichowitz : no I do
Beck: you’re making us confused
He laughed
Sichowitz : I don’t have security cameras in my room
Me: that’s better. Let’s go Beck
We walked hand in hand through the empty hallway
Beck: where are the students?
Me: they’ve all gone. Today’s a Friday and we performed a play today, so everyone is allowed to go home after the play
Beck: they’re security cameras here right.
He was looking at the corners of the room where the cameras were
Me: yeah, but they’re no cameras in the closet
He looked at the door of the closet in the hallway. Took my hand and pulled me in then locked the door
Me: what was that for?
Beck : this
He pulled me and kissed my lips
I chuckled and hit him playfully.
He pulled me closer and began to kiss me again. He kissed me so softly that I even felt like sleeping with his lips on mine
Where did he learn to kiss this way?
He disengaged and packed my hair aside
Beck: I like it this way
I smiled as he tucked my hair behind my ear.
Beck: let’s go out today, after school
Me: where?
Beck: you choose
Me: hmmm, can you afford the place I wanna go
Beck: maybe. But don’t drain me too much
Me: hahahaha, I wont even drain you at all. Let’s just go to a sushi restaurant . You like sushi right?
Beck: I love sushi
He kissed my nose and opened the door. We got out and went to the classroom to get our bags

Emily Brown’s POV
Karie and I are at the mall shopping for our sleepover. We’re buying snacks and drinks and new pyjamas. We are also buying magazines
Karie: I hope Beck is actually gonna come?
Me: of course he would. Dad already said so.
Karie: better, I really wanna see the guy you’ve been talking about since the beginning of this week
I laughed and we went to the jewelry section. I saw a sparkling wristwatch
Me: wow, Karie look
Karie : I like it. But isn’t it too manly for a girl
Me: coward, I’m not buying it for myself. It’s going to be for Beck
Karie: all right moron, whatever you say
I giggled and dropped the watch in the basket

Robbie Shapiro’s POV
Rex says he found someone who could help me out already. I don’t know how he found someone but I’m glad he did. At least he helped me out
I walked to the living room and saw a girl that got me awestruck
I got paralyzed as I stared blankly at the hottie standing before me
Girl : uh hi, I’m Laura
Rex: he’s Robbie. Robbie meet Laura
I walked to her and gave her a handshake
Me: nice to meet you Laura
Laura: I see you need help with your assignment
Me: uhh yeah…. Yeah I… I… Do
I heard Rex chuckling evilly
Laura: let’s go to your room then.
She smiled and took her handbag .
I’m definitely not in my right mind
This girl is too sexy

Beck Oliver’s POV
I kissed Tori for the last time and winked at her.
Tori: remember, you’re picking me up tomorrow by 8am
Beck: I wont forget
Tori: but what about your job at that restaurant?
Me: oh, I resigned. I can’t combine school, plus the driving stuff with that one
Tori: okay then
I opened the car door for her. She sat in and I bent down
Me: why do I have a feeling that I’m gonna miss you?
Tori: haha, I don’t know. Maybe you will
Me: I’m sure I will. Won’t you miss me?
Tori: no
I frowned and stood up then closed her door
Me: bye
She winded the glass down and laughed
Tori: I miss you already
I smiled and pecked her nose through the window.
Me: see you tomorrow
I went back and watched as she drove out. I wanted to say I Love You but I feel it’s too early for that. Besides, the feeling isn’t so intense yet. When it goes really deep, I’ll tell her I love her

Tori Vega’s POV
These are the last days of summer. Winter would begin in a month or two
It’s really hot today so I’m in the pool.
Swimming is like my hobby, apart from singing and watching Barbie cartoons.
I think watching Barbie is the reason why Cat and I became close friends. And it’s the reason why Jade hates coming to my house with Cat.
I dived into the pool and swam underneath before busting out at the other side. I took a deep breath and relaxed over the floor.
I feel refreshed now
I can’t wait for dad to come back so that I can tell him about Beck and I.
He’s going to be so happy for me

Beck Oliver’s POV
I parked the car and got out with the keys dangling in my hand.
I went into the house and as usual I was directed upstairs.
I opened the door and closed it. Emily and one other girl were watching TV and didn’t see me coming in
Me: hello
They turned and Emily smiled and stood up. The other girl was looking at me with widened eyes
Emily: hi Beck. You came quite early today
She was smiling brightly and shoving her hair around
Me: yeah, I got a text from your dad that I should come by 7pm today
Emily: you’re welcome. Come and sit down
She held my hand and pulled me to the cushion
Emily: Karie, meet my friend Beck. Beck meet my best friend Karie
The girl stood up and shook my hand. She hesitated a little before withdrawing.
Flirting
And when did Emily and I become friends?
Me: it’s nice to meet you Karie
Karie : it’s so awesome meeting you
She smiled and kept staring at me
Emily nudged her and she looked away from me
Emily: Karie, why don’t you get something for Beck to drink
Karie: yeah.. Uhm.. Well.. I.. I’ll go get it
She walked away and Emily chuckled
Me: where’s your dad?
Emily: he’s bathing
I nodded and she smiled
Me: thanks for the phone. Your dad told me you asked him to buy it
Emily: oh it’s nothing. I actually have something else for you
She stood up
Me: really
Emily : yeah, wait here
She ran upstairs and just then, Karie came back with drinks. She handed me a glass and sat down beside me
Karie: which school do you attend Beck?
Me: Hollywood Arts High School
Karie: wow. So do you sing or dance?
Me: I dance
Karie: please dance for me
Me: whaat
Emily came down with a box in her hand
Karie: Emily, do you know that Beck is a dancer and he attends Hollywood Arts
Emily: really, that’s awesome. Why don’t you dance for us?
Karie: I already asked him too. Come on Emily, turn the music on
She did and I had no other choice but to please the ladies.
I danced for them or rather with them for over thirty minutes. It was actually fun that I even forgot I was in my boss’ house
We sat down looking exhausted. Emily fell on me, panting heavily
Karie winked at her secretly but I saw it.
These girls are up to something
I gently shoved her aside and checked the time
Me: what? It’s seven minutes to 8 o clock? Where’s your dad?
Emily: oh that reminds me. I got this for you
She gave me the box.
Me: what’s in it?
Emily: open it. It’s yours
I opened it and it was a diamond laid wristwatch. The light of the room struck it and it glistened
Me: whoaaa
Emily: do you like it?
Me: I love it. Thanks Emily
I hugged her and Karie chuckled
Just then, her dad came down the stairs
Mr Brown: wow, Beck you’re here so early today
Me: good evening sir
Mr Brown : how are you doing?
Me: I’m fine sir
Mr Brown : I thought I told you to come by 8:30
I raised my eyebrows
Me: but I later saw a text that I….
Emily: dad your bag is torn!
I looked at her
Did she just caught me shut?
Mr Brown : oh, I’ll go and change it. I’ll be right back Beck
I nodded and he went upstairs.
Emily heaved a sigh of relief
Me: Emily? Did you use your dad’s phone to text me?
Her eyes widened
Emily: I. .i. no I. Didn’t….
I frowned
It’s obvious she just lied
