Chapter 1: Never Ends
Being in a performing arts school, you may think that everything would be so fun. Probably even better than a regular high school. That could be the case, but it really depends on the people attending there; it could make your experiences rather debatable if it's good or not.
Tori Vega, a now senior at Hollywood Arts, the school of the performing arts. Still, there's no difference with her and her so called enemy. Who? Jadelyn West. Jade for short, of course.
Whether it would be Jade trying to embarrass the living life out of her, mocking how she talks in an accent, doing anything to get things to go her way, and lots more to add to the list as well.
There were days where Jade would actually talk to Tori like a normal human being, but that's rare. Tori still had no idea why Jade would be so mean to her ever since her first day there. Sure, she kissed Beck, but that was for revenge. For treating her like a piece of lint.
It was another school day. Not to any surprise, Tori and Jade? They were getting on each other's nerves, and even raised their voices at some points.
"Ugh, seriously Vega? For the last time, no I don't want to try your stupid soup you made in culinary!" Jade said, having her eyes wide open. Giving Tori the nasty glare. Tori held the bowl of soup she made while whining.
"Please? Just one taste then I'll leave you alone? Why won't you try it?! C'mon, it's for my grade!" Tori literally took a spoonful, placing it near Jade's lips.
"Why? Well, one it looks gross. Two, it's green. I don't like green soup, it looks like snot! Three, it's made by you. And four, take that fucking spoon away from my mouth! Okay?!" Jade had a stern look upon her face. She was about to walk away, but Sikowitz came by to interrupt between them.
Tori sighed loudly, now dropping the spoon back in the bowl. "Sikowitz, would you mind trying my soup? It's for my grade." Sikowitz opened his mouth. "Oh, I would love to!"
"It's good." He said, simply. Tori pointed the spoon at Jade. "See, how easy that was? Jade, you're only making things harder for yourself by yelling so much!" The Latina said while their acting teacher got in the middle of it.
"I'm only yelling cause I don't fucking like you and you're getting all up in my business!"
"Ladies! Ladies! Calm down, both of you." Sikowitz had an idea, which made him smirk. The two girls knew exactly what that face meant. "Oh no.." Jade started. "What is it now?" Tori hoped that this wouldn't be too bad.
Knowing Sikowitz, he's probably gonna force them to do something for an assignment. Usually for better grade opportunities too. That's what sucks them in to doing the challenges.
"I want you two to become roommates for a whole week, cause I'm so sick and tired of you two fighting so much!" Already, they didn't like the idea.
"Not gonna happen!" The raven haired girl chuckled out of pure shock. "Uh, Sikowitz? A week together with her?! You've got to be kidding me!" It made Tori shake to the point to where she spilled some of the soup on the floor.
"Yes, a whole week. I bet you two wouldn't even last a day.. heck, let alone five minutes with each other in the same room." Sikowitz crossed his arms as his smirk grew even wider. "I'll give you both A's for the whole semester if you succeed. After all, it is your last year attending here. You need those grades more than ever." Got a point.
Tori looked over at Jade. She sighed. "Let's just get over this, okay? I won't talk if that means it won't bother you as much." She suggested. With that thought in mind, Jade agreed. "Fine!"
Sikowitz clapped, he couldn't wait. "Great! I know a person who would be willing to lend you two her apartment room in the time being. I'll text the details. Good luck!" He walked away.
Jade got close to Tori. "Look, this is only for the grade. Got it? Just think of it like characters on a play that we'll be playing. Cause I so wouldn't enjoy your company as Vega. Okay?" The bell rang. School now being over, they got the details to the challenge. Sikowitz sent a text through a group chat.
Sikowitz: Yo, Sikowitz in the hizzhouse!
Jade: Don't ever say that again.
Tori: Stop. Just tell us how this is gonna work, please?
Sikowitz told them all they need to bring, where they'll be meeting, and also the time.
Sikowitz: 8 PM, sharp
Jade: Whatever.
Tori: Okay..
Tori has arrived at the apartment complex right on time. Seeing Sikowitz by the door of the building. "Ah, Tori you made it on time! Where's Jade?" Sikowitz asked, looking around the area.
"I didn't come with her. She obviously doesn't care so.. either she's coming late, or she ain't coming at all." The brunette said as she shrugged a bit. "Ah, we shall wait for her then!"
Ten minutes of waiting. Jade was seen taking a crosswalk; made her way to the two. "What took you so long to be late, hm?" Sikowitz tilted his head to the side, waiting for an answer.
"Well, for starters? I don't care. I also had to deal with my brother who wouldn't stop bothering me at home when I told him that I had somewhere to be." Jade sighed, already opening the entrance door to go in.
Tori followed along with Sikowitz. The elevator ride up to the right floor, heading to the room. He handed Tori the key. Another copy for Jade. "Now, don't think that I won't know you'll leave or fake this whole thing." He opened the door.
"Thanks to Sinjin, he made this thing. He put a sensor by the door that turns on with my control. If any of you leave, this will go off and will alert me."
"Yeah, forgot to mention that you have to be here and just here for the whole week." He added, without even realizing it.
Tori raised her eyebrow with confusion. "But what about school?" Sikowitz nodded, he did plan everything out. "Oh, I told Helen about this. She just said that she'll put you on vacation in the time being, so you're good."
"Yeah, okay. Leave." Jade wasn't having any of this. "We got all we needed to know." She continued. "Alright, fine! Good luck, and don't leave!" He chuckled. Switching the sensor on as soon as he left.
Jade walked over to the couch to sit down. Groaning while covering her face. Tori sat down on a bean bag chair around the same area. "You being so grouchy about this isn't gonna make this go by any faster, you know?" Tori mentioned.
Jade removed the hands from her face. "And you told me that you'd shut up if I wanted to make it better, so please? Shut up." Just the thought of being stuck with Tori for so long sickened her right to the core. "As you wish." Tori closed her eyes to relax.
This should be great. Everything will go fine and smoothly.
"You know I-"
"I just said to shut up, Vega!" Jade yelled at the top of her lungs. Tori remained silent for the rest of the night. The two just slept where they were sitting. Little did they know? They'd be sleeping in the same room, on the same bed together. They didn't discover the whole room yet but the living room and the kitchen.
Maybe things won't go well, who knows? Two complete opposites in the same room. Usually isn't the best idea.
A/N: So sorry. I had a lot going on. It's pretty much a long story.
