WORLD OF CHANCES

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

This story is written in Beck's POV.

We met in 9th grade, she was the new girl thrown into the cage of the lion. Going to a new school isn't easy and especially when it's a school like Hollywood Arts, she got pretty easy used to our way of living, the artsy type, but that wasn't the reason why I was attracted to her, she was totally different than my girlfriend, Jade West, Jade was mean and vicious to other people. She was completely different when she was around me, but Tori is always her sweet little self, with her cute smile and perfect cheekbones. She cheered me up when everyone failed.
But in 10th grade , I found out a secret about her. Her happy and cheery mood was just a cover up, and I found out why, but maybe I should haven't told her that I knew, because after it we stopped speaking to each other.
In 11th grade I managed to get closer to her, I wanted to rekindle our friendship but she didn't feel like it, I stood outside her house every night, trying to get closer to her but it didn't work.
In 12th grade we started to become friends again, but it was never like it was before. We didn't act crazy or stupid around each other like we used to, it was kind of awkward. It's like she felt that she HAD to become my friend again , so I would stop feeling bad. I didn't want that.
Graduation came: everyone was filled with excitement and so was Tori. ' We will now announce our graduating students and their further studies/universities.' Sikowitz said. ' Andre Harris, University of California Los Angeles , Music Scholarship- Beck Oliver, University of California Los Angeles , Drama department- Robbie Shapiro, University of California Los Angeles, Drama department, - Cat Valentine, University of California Los Angeles, music department- Tori Vega, University of Southern California, music and drama department- Jade West, University of California Los Angeles, drama department. Congratulations to our students and their parents! ' Sikowitz added.- they all applauded- My excitement left when I heard Tori wasn't going to the same university as us. Maybe that's why she didn't want to get closer to me, because the goodbye would've been harder. Tori was still in a good mood, in a very good mood. She hugged everybody, even me! Little did I know that it would be the last time.
In my first year of University I started school with lots of excitement but I still missed Tori. During the summer, I've been trying to get in touch with her but that was easier said than done. She left for New York, 3 days after graduation and came back 2 weeks ago. Cat told me all about their amazing trip in the big apple and how she was confused that NYC was just a regular city and not a giant apple with a city within. Oh, Silly Cat! ;). She showed me pictures of their trip and I didn't really look at them, only when I saw Tori on it. She was still the same. Beautiful and overwhelming as usual.
As the year passed by, I still hadn't seen Tori, I was absolutely positive that she hated me, and I hated myself for thinking like that. Summer started and still no Tori!
In my second year of University I got an offer to leave UCLA and get transferred to Julliard. An AMAZING university,… in NYC. I asked my friends whether I should go or not, they hesitated but all agreed on me going. Robbie had so much trouble not to cry. Cat and Jade told Tori, but she never called me to wish me luck or to stop me.
In my first year at Julliard, I was the new student thrown into the cage of the lion. But , like Tori did, I got used to their way of life. Time flew, but somewhere in April I got a worried phone call… from Tori.
I hesitated to call back, but there was a voice inside my head that said: call her! But my heart said: let her go. I sent her a letter.

The letter:

Dear Tori

Maybe you'll call me someday, here the operator say the number's no good and that I had a world of chances for you.

Love Beck
