I have closed the OC contest as I decided I didn't need the extra boy. Plus, if I feel the story needs it I may eventually introduce one of the rejected OCs.

Thank you for all your OCs and I will introduce them as I go, and as I can't possibly find out every little detail about the OCs from you I might have to take a few liberties. Tell me if there is anything wrong with how I am making your character act or think.

Disclaimer: I do not own Victorious or any OC apart from Jazz, and the first bit of lyrics for rainy day.

Jazz's POV

"I want to lock you away, for a rainy day.

I want it to be, just you and me.

And I want you… to kiss me."

Ryan sang, doing a perfect diminuendo as she finished the note, and I found myself swaying along to her soprano voice. This was why I was I was so glad I had her as a partner, it sounded so much better when she sang it then when I was recording it, despite the fact that I had written it. Oh, well, it still filled me with joy to see Ryan rocking it.

"How was that?" she asked, "Did I do your song justice?"

"Are you kidding me? You killed it!" I said. It wasn't like her to get nervous.

"Oh My God! Your songs dead!" She said sarcastically, this was more like Ryan. I whacked her with my sheet music and smiled.

"We should probably get out of here. Doesn't somebody else have the black box booked for right after us?" And with that Jade stormed into the room, dragging Jamie behind her.

"Out!" She screamed at me.

"But…" I stammered out, Jade scared me.

"Jade, don't be mean." No doubt that was Beck, Jade's voice of reason, and long-time boyfriend. Although from the way Jade treated him, it was a bit iffy if that would last. But it did look like she really did love him sometimes, even if she didn't always show it. What she did show however, was how over protective she was of him.

"So what, you like her not me then!" She yelled pointing at me and Ryan. I turned to look at Ryan.

"Hey don't look at me." Ryan replied, and I pointed to myself. Jade nodded slowly like I was an idiot.

"Yeah, you! Limey!" Limey?

"Another name for British." Ryan whispered in my ear. Okay, Jade obviously had a larger vocabulary than I did. But Jamie started to try and defend me, or so I thought.

"She's not a complete slut, you know." Wow Jamie, big help. Apparently he was in one of his good days, but didn't feel like spreading the love.

"Well, bye bye." I said, grabbing Ryan and pulling her out the door. Did I just say bye bye? Wow! The moment we were out the door Ryan burst out with laughter.

"Seriously? Bye Bye! Lol." She giggled, if you can use giggled to describe Ryan without sounding totally ridiculous. "How did Jamie end up with Jade anyways?"

"Shapiro's with Cat, Beck's leaving for Canada in the evening, and Andre is stuck with Trina Vega," Both me and Ryan winced, no one deserved to be stuck with Trina Vega in a singing competition, "So she grabbed Jamie, saying, 'You're the last one left in the room with any talent.'" Ryan looked at me, curious; there were quite a lot of talented people in our class.

"Only Jamie, Sinjiin, Aphrodite and I were in the room." I explained.

"Stuck in a room with Sinjiin! Ugh..." We both winced again, "Lucky you had me."

I nodded in agreement and said "Yes, and Aprodite got stuck with Sinjiin. Anyway, are you ready for the big showcase tonight. That was our last rehearsal."

"Don't remind me," She groaned, "Anyway, see you there."

"Later" I said as I headed off to my next class, music.

We had rehearsed rainy day more times than I could count but still neither of us felt ready. Maybe we never would, even when we were performing it tomorrow.

Aspen's POV

I nudged Jamie, who was sitting next to me in the audience for the big showcase, wearing more make-up than I was. He and Jade had had their scream medley earlier this night, which was in sharp contrast to my look at the moment. I had performed with a bit of a mix between ballet and street so I was currently in a leotard and baggy tracksuits.

"Who's up next?" I asked.

"Well, Ryan and Jazz just came off, so it's… Andre and Trina." Oh, this was going to be good. It was a shame I was going to miss it but I promised Jazz I'd meet her after her performance. However as soon as I got anywhere near I could hear cries ringing out.

"Her tongue's engorged!" Well, that's not something you hear every day. But the cries of "TRINA!" explained everything. In that moment I felt sorry for Andre, he had worked really hard on 'Make It Shine' and now Trina was going to completely ruin it. I would volunteer to perform but I don't really sing. Then again Trina can't so it couldn't hurt. I was about to give it a shot, Andre had played the song for me enough. But Andre pulled up a girl's hand and yelled.

"Her sister knows the part!" ignoring her protests that she did not in the slightest. Trina Vega's sister? That was going to be good, but who knows; maybe she did have some talent.

I felt a tap on my shoulder, and spun around to see Jazz engulf me in a hug.

"Woah, woah, not a hugger." I said, pulling her off me, only to be engulfed again by Ryan. Who I can only assume nerves had got to as it was so out of character for her. "Okay that's enough. There's enough of Aspen to go round." I said, slightly sarcastically. "Come on; let's go see if the other Vega sister shares Trina's… talent."

We raced back to our seats as quickly as possible and pushed down the lane, causing quite a lot of disruption. Typically it was only Jazz saying sorry every half a second. Me and Ryan didn't care that much… although, I could have sworn that Ryan blushed as Jamie's hand accidentally brushed past her arm. But I'm not going to try and get inside the inner workings if Ryan's mind. You never know, I might just get stuck down there. Isn't that a terrifying thought?

I looked up as a voice filled the room.

"Here I am, once again

Feeling lost but now and then"

Wow, this chick could actually sing. That was a shock for Trina's sister. The music sped up and I could almost feel myself humming along.

"When you figure out how,

You're lost in the moment,

You dis-a-p-e-a-r."

AS the song went on, I realised I'd probably rather listen to Jade and Jamie again, or Ryan singing then this girl, Tori. She had a good voice but there was nothing really unique about it. I found myself glancing around the stage for someone I recognised.

Connor glanced up from his guitar and winked at me, bringing a smile to my face. But it was short lived as I heard him mess up a chord. Not that anyone noticed off course. My phone letting off a huge beep in middle of the song was harder to cover, though. I glanced down and my phone, setting it on to vibrate, as I probably should have done at the beginning of the showcase. It was Nikki, of course, checking how it was all going. She was already pissed that she had to miss the showcase because Derek's parents wanted to dinner, and tonight was the only night in a fortnight they were free. She would get even crosser if I ignored her. So I texted her back quickly and suddenly there was uproar on stage as a huge crowd of arguing people was unveiled.

"This girl doesn't think she's good enough to go to school here. What do you think?" I gave my friends a look and we all burst out cheering. It the heat of the moment you can't really do anything but cheer. Looks like there was a new student at Hollywood Arts.
