Chapter 1: Beautiful as You

Tori's POV

OMG OMG OMG. I can't believe I'm entering Hollywood Arts! I can't help but bounce on my seat as Trina parked the car in front of our school.

"Jeez Tori. Chill out." Trina said as she rolled her eyes and giving me an amused look. I just grinned at her and practically skipped out of her car. I was so excited to study here! I couldn't believe my luck when they asked me to enroll on this prestigious school for the arts. I sighed dreamily as I remembered how I ended up going here. It was my dream to be an artist, but it never occurred to me that I was actually that good to have been asked to enter HA.

Slap!

"Ow! Triiiinaaa!" I whined as I rubbed my arm. I can't believe she slapped me this early! "Stop zoning out baby sis. Keep your cool and try to focus on your activities." She told me with a pointed look, yet somehow her eyes are warm and full of happiness for me. I am so lucky to have her as a sister although at times she could be quite annoying. She's the only family I've got since mom and dad died a couple of years back. I smiled at my sister and hugged her. "Now let's go. I don't want you to be late on your first day." She smiled at me and I practically dragged her towards the school's door.

We went to the principal's office to get my schedule for today and my locker number before we headed towards the hallway full of lockers. Before I could even locate my locker the warning bell ran. "I gotta go Tori. See you after school! Good luck!" and then my sister was off. I sighed and browsed the lockers, amazed of their different colors and personalities. Wow. I didn't know lockers could have personalities. I stopped at the third row of lockers and looked up to see a plain gray locker which looks pretty out of place. "Aw biscuits. Why did I have to get the lamest locker?" I said to myself as I stared at my neighbor's keyboard locker. I spun around as I heard someone chuckle and saw a tall baby faced boy with fluffy hair smiling at me. "You have to decorate that yourself, you know. Oh, and welcome to Hollywood Arts!" he said as he extended his hand to me. "I'm Beck, by the way." he smiled once more. I shook his hand and smiled… no. Scratch that… grinned at him. He was cute and friendly, but that's just it. I could tell we would be good friends. "I'm Tori. Tori Vega." Recognition flashed across his eye and he beamed at me. "I thought I recognized you! You're the one who sang last week for Trina's part, right? You were really good!" I blushed at his compliment. "Yeah." I said shyly.

"Hi! Hey!" A bubbly redhead in a frilly bright pink dress skipped along the corridors towards us, giggling to her self. She's so adorable that I can't help but giggle as well. "Hi! I'm Tori." I said to her as I extended my hand. She pounced on me and hugged me making me fall backwards. I giggled with her. My golly. This girl is full of energy! "I'm Cat!" She said in a sing song voice and beamed at me. Beck was shaking his head in amazement as he helped her get up and she extended her hand to me. "Welcome to Hollywood Arts!" She sang with her hands held up high in the air. She's such a child and I love her already. "Hey there Tor!" a familiar voice interrupted Cat's giggling. "Andre!" I grinned at him and hugged him. I missed him already although we just met last week. He chuckled and patted my head. "Slow down muchacha! You're a big ball of energy today aren't ya?" I laughed along with my new friends.

"I guess Cat already rubbed off on her." An awkward looking boy with glasses holding a puppet said while smiling at me extending his free hand. "I'm Robbie and this..." he gestured to his puppet, "is Rex." I shook his hand. "Hey, I'm Tori! Nice to meet you." "Welcome to HA sweet thing. Let me show you around." said the puppet. I shuddered. The puppet creeps me out. "Uh… Thanks, but no thanks." Andre laughed at my reaction. The puppet was about to respond, when the bell rang. Robbie shot me an apologetic look and I smiled at him. "So where's your first class?" Beck asked me as we walked away from our lockers. "Uhmm… Improv?" I asked, unsure of what that class was. Andre placed his arms around my shoulder. "That's great! We have our first classes together!" which made Cat squeal in delight and tackled me. This time, I was prepared so we didn't fall on the floor. Wow. I'm starting to like this school more and more! People here are one of a kind.

We were about to enter a classroom with wide windows when Beck's phone went off. He picked it up and shook his head smiling a bit. "Who's that?" Cat asked, still unbelievably hyper. "Jade." He said with an amused smile. "She said she'll be late. She's arguing with the barista at Starbucks about something." "Who's Jade?" I asked, curious about the unknown girl their talking about. "She's Beck's ex-girlfriend and his best friend." Andre supplied. "Oh…" is all I could get out before I shrieked in horror. A crazy old man with balding curly hair in orange suspenders over a Hawaiian shirt jumped inside our classroom through the window. Everyone seemed unfazed by his appearance; instead, they all had their eyes on me. Some were amused and smug, others were apologetic. Andre was trying not to laugh and Beck was shaking his head smiling at the crazy man. Cat had a pout on her face looking at that psycho who came out from the window. He was now holding a coconut and drinking it through a straw. I was so confused, but before I could ask anyone anything, the crazy old man screamed at me. "Welcome to Hollywood Arts! I'm your improv teacher, Sikowitz!" Oh my god. My ear hurts and is this for real? He's our teacher? I glanced at my classmates with a confused look and they all seem to nod their head in agreement. I laughed nervously as I looked at Andre, Beck, Robbie, and Cat for support. They just shrugged and then the puppet spoke. "He may seem like a total lunatic, but he's everyone's favorite teacher. Don't look so surprised girl! This is an art school!" I frowned, shook my head and looked at my feet. No kidding. It's real! "I'm sorry Tori. Rex doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut." Robbie told me. It was clear that he felt bad and looking at me apologetically. All my friends looked worried at me. I was confused and then I remembered that I was frowning. Whoa. What's happening to me? I got overloaded 'cause of our teacher's craziness. Then, I beamed at them. "Best. School. Ever!" I said and they all breathe a sigh of relief. "At least now we know she could act." Rex pointed out as everyone chuckled, making their way on their seats. I sat in front of Andre and on the left side of Cat. On my right are an aisle, then an empty chair, then Beck. He smiled at me and offered a thumbs up before turning his attention to our crazy teacher.

Sikowitz was going on and on about the importance of improvising and making my classmates do scenes in front while he drinks more coconut. I couldn't even remember how many he already drank as the class was coming to a close. Only 10 minutes left on this class and I smiled to myself as I got giddy to experience a whole lot of different classes on this school. Bam! I nearly jumped out of my seat as the door opened. Everyone looked back to see who it was, then resumed to what they were doing. It seems that they've experienced this disruption before, but not me.

There, on the door, wearing a black skirt and a black tank top with a black leather jacket over her porcelain colored skin, with her wavy jet black hair with hints of blue highlights falling perfectly over one side of her shoulder, with her pink lips which are thin and full at the same time that forms a scowl on her beautiful face and those eyes. Piercing electric blue eyes in whirlpool of different other colors. I gasp as my eyes stayed glued to her. I can't seem to breathe and at the rate my heart is going, I might as well have a heart attack any minute, but I can't seem to care, because I was so enchanted by this beautiful angel, this goddess who entered our classroom. I think I felt everything in me melt as her eyes met mine for a brief second, but it was enough for me to feel my cheeks burn and avert my gaze. I shook my head to snap out of what just happened and checked if someone saw me gawking at the girl who entered. I must know her name. I have to get to know her! I mentally kicked myself for having thought of that. I was so sure that no one saw me gawking until my eyes landed on Beck whose eyebrow is raised as if daring me to tell him what just happened, before the black haired angel sat beside him. Wait. What? I froze. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. That must be Jade! Andre chuckled behind me and I sent him a half glare, half confused look. He looked at me knowingly and looked at the girl beside Beck. I blushed beet red as I realized that two people saw me gawking at that girl. I groaned inwardly which 'caused Cat to look at me in confusion. I just shook my head and avoided looking at anyone else.

I tried to get her out of my mind, but it's hard. Especially when I'm only a few feet away from her. I keep on restraining my self to sneak a peak at her 'because from the corner of my eye, I saw Beck staring at me, seemingly amused by my determination not to look at the girl beside her. I closed my eyes and let our psycho teacher go on and on about whatever he was talking about and let my thoughts wonder, which, to no surprise, led to the angel in black.

I didn't know how long I zoned out, but I was brought back to reality when the bell rang and although I don't understand what just happened, I am sure of only one thing; that nothing, not even the wonders and beauty of nature, can compare to the dark haired beauty that just happened to walk past me. Someone coughed, snapping me out of my trance and I blushed once more, as I realized that Andre and Beck are looking at me knowingly with smirks on their faces and I groaned out loud knowing that they would never let this go. Oh Jade. What have you done to me?
