Jade walked into music class
The teacher was already teaching and the seats were occupied
Tori and Cat sat at the front alone, then all the students stayed behind them
Jade looked at one boy who was busy listening to the teacher
She took him by the ear and threw him on the floor.
He winced and held his ear
She took the chair to the front and sat beside Tori
Teacher: Jade West, why did you do that?
Jade: because I wanted to use the chair
Teacher: you should have just told him to stand up politely
Jade: those words are not in my vocabulary
She brought out her phone
Boy: Mister, he’s bleeding
Students: whattt
They all looked back, except Jade
Teacher: ugh, follow me to the clinic
He held the boy’s arm and led him out
Cat: you’re the biggest bully I’ve ever seen. You’re so mean
Jade glared at her
Jade: Cat, do you like your ears?
Cat gasped and covered her ears
She screamed and ran away without her giraffe stuffed animal
Tori: she’ll come back
Immediately Cat ran back and took the giraffe then ran away
Tori: Jade why are you late for class?
Jade: I was with Beck. Why do you care?
Tori : who’s Beck?
Jade: a handsome new student
Tori: why were you bullying a new student? Can’t you at least allow him to be a full member
Jade: I wasn’t bullying him, I was bullying the girls who wouldn’t let him be
Tori: you know what? I don’t care
Jade: neither do I
Tori rolled her eyes and looked away
She was actually having a bad day because of Trina
__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^ Beck looked through his wallet, it was almost empty
He needed cash and was hoping he could get some tips from his customers
He turned and saw Robbie coming his way with his puppet in his hand
He smiled as they got closer
Beck: hey man
Robbie: Beck, I need your help
Rex: don’t listen to him
Robbie : shut up Rex
Beck chuckled
Beck: what do you need my help with?
Robbie: I really need some money. Just five bucks would do. I have to get something for my grandma or she’ll kill me
Beck: ughh… I really wish I could….
Robbie : please lend it to me. I know you have enough
Rex: yeah, you’re a rich dude man
Beck: what? No I’m.. I’m not….
Robbie : I know rich guys don’t usually agree that they’re rich. So are you giving me the money?
Beck: uhm, okay
He opened his wallet and brought out his last cash and gave it to Robbie
Robbie : thank you so much Beck. You’re awesome
He left and Beck sighed
His wallet was now empty
He leaned on the wall and stared at the other wall
He began to hear cheers
He walked forward and it was Victorious.
They were sharing something
He saw students distributing drinks and pizza boxes from the Victorious side
His stomach grumbled
Andre: hey man, have this
He was stretching forth a soda bottle
Beck : whoa thanks. I really need this
He opened it and began to gulp it down
Andre: why does Jade look happy and Tori looks sad?
Beck: I don’t care
He covered the empty bottle and threw it into a trashcan
Beck: the only thing I care about now is how to get that pizza
Andre: haha, I see you’re very hungry
Beck: and broke
Andre: oops sorry…
Jade sighted them and began to walk towards them
Andre: oh my goodness, is Jade coming here?
Beck: no no no, that girl scares the living daylights outta me
Andre: and she thinks you’re rich
Beck: they all think I’m rich
Jade was getting closer
Beck: bye
He hurried away before Andre could even comprehend
Jade: out of my way
He immediately shifted but she stood still glaring at him
Jade: where is Beck?
Andre: pardon?
Jade: you heard me right
Andre didn’t hear her because he was lost
Jade : forget it
She walked away and he breathed in heavily
Andre: thank you God for saving my life
^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^__^ It was already lunch time.
Victorious sat at their regular table eating
Their cafeteria was outside and the breeze was blowing their hair about
Jade: I’m finally getting a boyfriend
Tori choked on her food and Cat covered her mouth in order not to reveal her laughter
Tori was wearing a purple shirt and black pants with two shiny bracelets on her left hand
Cat, as beautiful as always was wearing a pink off-shouldered shirt and a red mini skirt Her red hair was in a pony tail
Jade was wearing a black sleeveless shirt and black pants
Her hair was having blue highlights
And her nails were black
Jade : why are you two acting like morons?
Tori drank water and Cat began to eat again
No one answered her
Jade: I’m talking to you two
Tori: sorry..
Cat: sorry
She scoffed
Jade: like I was saying earlier, I’m getting a new boyfriend soon
Tori: remember to invite me to his funeral
Cat : that’s if you’re not in jail by then
Jade: what’s that supposed to mean?
She was a bit pissed off
Tori: well Tyson got crippled
Cat: and Moses lost his tooth
Tori: ohhh, and Justin spent six months in a hospital
Cat: Tori, do you remember Edward?
Tori: OMG, yes. He broke up with Jade after she ruined his hair with her scissors while he was asleep
Cat: then he ran out of the country because Jade was after his life
The two girls began to laugh hysterically
Jade : ENOUGH!
They stopped immediately
Jade : those guys were the reason for their misfortune
Tori: how are we sure this new guy isn’t going to be the reason for his misfortune?
Cat: I hope he’s rich
Jade: of course he’s rich. I don’t date broke guys
Tori: but you end up breaking their bodies
Jade glared at her
Cat: so tell me, is he handsome?
Jade: yes, very handsome
Cat: did he ask you out already?
Jade: no, no boy asks me out. I ask them out
Cat: weird, I thought it was the girl that gets asked out
Tori: enough with the boy talk okay? I’m getting sick of it
Cat: should I get you some drugs?
Tori: no, why?
Cat: because you’re sick
Tori: no I’m not
Cat: but you just said so
Tori: Cat, I was just…. Ugh, forget it…
Jade: do you know he is a student here?
Cat&Tori: whaaat!
Tori: is the student blind?
Cat: everyone here knows you’re a monster
Jade: yeah I am
She twirled her hair with her index finger
Tori hung her bag and stood up
Tori: guys I really have to practice my solo. I’ll see you guys later
Cat: bye Tori, I love you
Tori: I love your dimples
Cat blushed as Tori left
She turned to Jade
Cat: Tori loves my dimples
Jade: I don’t
Cat: you don’t like anything about me
Jade: it’s a good thing you know
Cat frowned and pouted her lips
Jade: whoa, Beck is here
Cat: who’s Beck?
Jade: the guy we just talked about
Cat: where is he?
Jade pointed to his direction
Cat: Robbie?
Jade: no, not the freaky puppet moron. The guy beside him
Cat: Andre?
Jade: no! Ugh, the handsome guy beside him
Immediately Cat saw Beck, she placed her palms on her cheek and began to scream Everyone looked at her direction
Jade frowned deeply as if she was going to blow up
Cat ran up still screaming
She ran all the way to Beck and hugged him
Jade: what the heck!!
Beck: whoaa
Cat: oh my gosh you’re so handsome!
Beck pulled her away
Cat: I’m Cat Valentine what’s your name?
Beck: Beck… Beck Oliver
Cat: awesome
She jumped up
Robbie : hi Cat I’m….
Cat: don’t come close to me
Rex began to laugh at Robbie
Cat screamed and punched Rex’s face
Andre began to laugh at Rex
Jade came there
Jade: Cat, quit embarrassing Beck!!
Cat: stop yelling at me Jade, you’re so mean to me
She began to cry and ran away
Beck felt bad for Cat
He looked around and Andre and Robbie had already disappeared
Beck: hi.. Hi Jade
Jade: how are you?
Beck: I’m fine. You?
Jade: great
She folded her arms and stared at him
Beck felt as if he was looking at a witch
Beck: uhm, I’ll see you later. We’ll talk
He smiled and left
Immediately he got into the school building, he sighed softly
Beck: she’s the only reason why I don’t wanna come to school
He kept walking, looking for a suitable class to stay
He passed through the hallway and his eyes caught someone in the music class through the door’s windscreen
He decided to check it out
He pushed the door and got in
Just behind the piano was Tori Vega, trying to sing
He stood still with his hands folded as he watched her
here I am
once again
feeling lost both now and then
I breathed in, to let it go
Tori: ahhhhh, this song sucks!!!
She kicked her hands against the piano keys roughly
She was having a hard time singing properly because she wasn’t in the right mood
Beck: can I help??
She looked up to see a handsome god
Her eyes widened as she stared at him with her mouth agape
He moved closer
Beck: hi, I’m Beck
Tori: hi… I’m… Tori
Beck: I know. I’ve heard about you
She smirked and looked at her piano
Beck: I see you’re having a tough time singing
Tori: yeah
Beck sat beside her
Beck: you have a beautiful voice. I wish I could sing like that
She laughed sweetly and he smiled at her beautiful laughter
Beck: now breathe in…
She closed her eyes and breathed in
Beck: then think of something that makes you happy
She closed her eyes again then opened it
Beck: tell me what makes you happy
Tori: singing
Beck: then sing for me
She smiled and rested her fingers on the piano keys
She sighed then began to play
here I am
once again
Feeling lost, both now and then
I breathed in, to let it go
And you don’t know where you are now
Or what it’ll come to if only somebody could hear
And you figured out how
You’re lost in the moment you dis….appear…
You don’t have to be afraid to put your dream in action
You’re never gonna fade
You’ll be the main attraction
Not a fantasy
Just remember me
When it turns alright
Cause you know that if you live in your imagination
Tomorrow you might be everybody’s fascination
In my victory
Just remember me
When I MAKE IT SHINE….
Beck: whoaaa, bravo!!
He began to clap for her
She started to laugh happily
Tori: you liked it?
Beck: I loved it
Tori: thanks for helping me
Beck: I think the only mistake I did was that I didn’t record it
They both laughed
Her hair covered her left eye and he quickly shoved it behind her ear gently
Tori: thanks again
Beck: do you have any other song that you can sing for me?
Tori: I have lots of them but I’ll sing them only on one condition
Beck: which is?
Tori: you’ll sing with me
Beck: oops, can’t sing
Tori: dance?
Beck: yep
Tori: then you’ll dance for me
Beck didn’t answer
She ruffled his hair
Tori: answer me
He stood up to run and she began to pursue him round the music room
He stopped abruptly and she hit him and almost fell but he held her and ruffled her hair too They began to laugh
Tori: come on, dance for me
Beck: okay, I will….
Tori: good, but let’s get something to drink first
Beck nodded and they both moved towards the door
He opened it for her
Beck: after you mi lady
He bowed
She chuckled and passed
Tori: graçias amigo
They chuckled and unknowingly held hands as they walked away
