AN: There is so many spoilers of TFB&J just tempting me to watch them. I'm trying to hide from them to avoid watching the videos and looking at pictures because I've already lost control and looked at way too many.

Sin 1: Envy – Trina Vega

If there was one person in Hollywood Arts that made Jade jealous, it was Vega, Trina Vega. But there was no way that Jade would admit it, she would sooner use her private parts as piranha bait, well that's a bad example because being piranha bait seems quite fascinating to Jade.

She didn't want Trina's life, but she did want a certain quality that Trina had, the ability not to care about what anyone else thought. Everyone else thought Jade didn't care about anyone's opinion because of her snide remarks, violent methods, and distorted thoughts and interests. She seemed to be the epitome of being true to who she was. But she did care because her reputation was everything to her. Who was she if she wasn't terrifying and heartless? So she didn't let very many people into her life. She didn't want them to find out that there was a secret part of her that could love, and hurt, and care.

Trina on the other hand was usually summed up in one word: desperate. She seemed to crave other people's approval and wanted everyone to like her. But in reality, she didn't. She knew everyone's opinion about her and had gotten past caring long ago.

Like the rest of Hollywood Arts, Jade thought Trina was stupid and oblivious. Could she really not see that she was talentless and unwanted? She was just like all of those dumb bitches that always pranced around Beck, imagining that she would one day be the lead of every play, sing in big performances, hold hands down the hall with Beck, and have everyone worship her, instead of being the dull girl that tried too hard and lacked necessary talent. But Trina wasn't like all of those other girls. There was something different about Trina. Trina was bolder, and sometimes even seemed fearless. But Jade couldn't figure out what it was that made Trina seem different.

So Jade made it her mission, well one of her missions, to make sure that Trina learned how unloved she was. And by mission, she meant that she did everything she possibly could to make Trina's life miserable. Unlike with the other students she tormented, Beck, Tori, and Andre all approved of her treatment towards Trina. Trina deserved it they all said, while they tried to protect all the other idiot females, telling Jade to be nice.

If Jade knew Trina was at that house party she walked in one night, she would have walked right back out minutes after she arrived. Most of the people there were college students, some of which were Jade's friends. They were part of another group of Jade's friends, a group that Jade kept separate from Beck, Cat, Andre, Robbie, and Tori. Jade usually went with Ryder to these parties, but Ryder was too busy having a fever and puking his guts out to come with her so Jade went alone this time.

Being a college party, there was an overabundant supply of alcohol lying around everywhere. Many of the partying college students were already drunk by the time Jade arrived. She made her way through the disoriented and puking partygoers, the groping boys trying to lure her into a room, and the ditzy girls squealing at her arrival. But she couldn't find any of her friends. Not a lot of them were at this party and the ones that were probably all drunk or high she decided. She grabbed one of the only unopened bottles of alcohol left. Not bothering to look at it, she opened it and drank some of the liquid straight from the bottle.

She didn't drink too much, just enough that she was hazy and the world was a little disoriented. She never got dead drunk without Ryder with her because she didn't trust anyone else to protect her, not even Beck, when they were a couple, because Beck never knew when she was at these parties. She had stopped telling him since Beck Oliver didn't approve of her going to these parties when they were still together.

A little drunk, she walked out to the backyard to get away from all the annoying partying teens. Already sitting on one of the lawn chairs was a slightly drunk Trina, holding a cup of something in her hand. Jade couldn't tell what it was but it was safe to assume it was alcoholic. Not completely clear in the head, Jade walked over to Trina and knocked her drink all over her shirt.

"What was that for?" [AN: Imagine them both slurring. I tried to type it as if they were slurring, but it didn't work]

"For being stupid."

"I'm not stupid."

Both were standing at the time, but neither could really stand still. Instead they swayed a little as if they were constantly losing their balance, which they were. They were also slightly slurring from the alcohol, so their words were less harsh than they had intended.

"Yes you are. You don't know that everyone hates you." Jade tried to point at Trina, but dramatically missed.

"I know everyone hates me."

"Then why are you so annoying?"

"What else can I do?"

"What do you mean?"

"I know that no one likes me or wants to associate with me, not even my parents."

"Then why do you keep acting so annoying?"

"I'm way past caring. I just do what I want. I chase after what I want."

"What is that?"

"Someone willing to give me a chance."

"To do what? Sing? Act?"

"To be a friend."

Jade had a newfound respect for Trina and spent the rest of the night outside, talking to Trina. Trina was much more likable than Jade expected. They talked about everything they could possibly come up with in their slightly drunk state. And Jade found that she would much rather hang out with Trina than Tori or the majority of the student population at Hollywood Arts.

The next day, the two girls woke up lying on the lawn chairs in strange positions. Their hands seemed to be touching, as if they were holding hands before but let go sometime during the night. They had spent the all night outside.

Though she was a little drunk at the time, Jade remembered the conversation she had with Trina last night. She felt bad for her and for judging her, because God knows how much Jade suffered from other people's judgments. Maybe she should try to be Trina's friend, her only friend. Maybe she could convince Trina to stop being so over the top, and then people would start liking her more.

But Jade still couldn't overcome everyone else's opinion. What would everyone think of her if they learned that she was friends with Trina Vega, a girl that even her own family did not want to be around? People would think that she pitied Trina; that she was friends with her because she felt bad. They would think that she was going soft, which would ruin her reputation.

It was true that Jade had a lot of power in the school; partly because she was absolutely hot and a teenage boy's fantasy, partly because she scared the crap out of almost all of them, and partly because she was respected for not caring about how anyone viewed her. Jade was ashamed to say that she actually did care and was merely acting like she didn't. If they knew she was nice to Trina, something that Tori – Miss I'm-so-nice-to-everyone-therefore-I-am-the-best-thing-that-happened-to-Hollywood-Arts, couldn't even do. What would happen to Jade's reputation?

Worst of all, Trina understood. When Jade murmured something along the lines of "we can't be friends," Trina immediately nodded and told her that she completely understood. She reassured Jade that she knew she was someone people were ashamed to be friends with so Jade shouldn't worry about it. Jade wasn't afraid of the association, but she was afraid that being friends with Trina would make her seem too nice. But Trina's pitiful smile made the frozen glaciers Jade called eyes want to melt and drip water down her cheeks. She wanted to tell Trina that they should try to be friends. But she refrained from either action.

Instead she told Trina, "So when we see each other in the future, we keep acting like we hate each other."

After that, whenever they crossed paths, Jade would tell Trina that no one liked her and Trina would roll her eyes and call Jade a gank. But occasionally, their eyes would meet and for a second, they would see the emotion in the other's eyes. And on those days, they would sneak a text to the other when no one else was looking, asking "Are you okay? I'm here for you."

The answer would always be "Yeah, don't worry" because they both knew that neither of them would ever truly be there for the other.

Next sin: Lust

AN: I had to put Ryder in it because after reading a few stories, I've started to ship Ryde (Jayder?) and really like him as a childhood friend figure for of Jade. There's an author's note within the text, which I usually hate that, but I felt it was needed. Also, I referenced to my favorite part of Dumb Ways to Die.
