AN: Hey guys, I'm back with another story. The whole story will be in Jade's point of view. Cat might be a little OOC due to being a player. Hope you guys like it and hope there's still some Cade fans out there. Let me know what you think.
Disclaimer: I do not own Victorious.
He takes off my shirt and kisses me roughly. I kiss back eagerly but suddenly hear an annoying beeping sound. I wake up and throw my alarm clock at the wall. It shatters into pieces. This is my seventh broken alarm clock this month. Can you blame me? It interrupts me from my Taylor Lautner sex dreams.
Damn it, I have to go to school. At least Rent auditions are today. This musical should be fun and Sikowitz is running it so it'll be awesome. I am so getting Mimi.
I take a quick shower and put on a short black skirt with red netted-tights and a tight black shirt. I do my hair and makeup in my normal style but without any different colored extensions today. I grab my bag and keys. I walk downstairs and put on my boots. I lock the door and go to my car.
I stop at Starbucks to get my usual coffee and then go to school. School doesn't start for another half an hour so I go to the music room to practice my song. Once I feel satisfied with it I leave and go to our group's spot in front of the auditorium. Beck and Cat hug me while the rest of them just say hi.
Beck tries to feel me up as always and Cat flirts with hot girls that walk by. She's the girl everyone wants a chance with but she just likes making out with people. She's bi but says she likes girls better than guys.
Nobody in this school knows I'm bi. I guess I'm just good at hiding it. All I have to do is only focus my attention on guys. It helps that I'm an actor.
The bell rings. I go to my guitar class and play the song I'm singing later for the auditions. It's actually my favorite song and it definitely fits Rent. Guitar class flies by and the rest of the day is a blur since I just stay in my own head and don't pay attention to anything or anyone.
The bell rings signaling the end of school. I threaten some guy that asks me out and head to the auditorium.
I sign up and am number 15. Beck comes to hug me. I hug back and join him and the rest of our group in front of the doors to the auditorium.
"I hope you get Mimi. I'm auditioning for Roger." Beck says to me.
"I guess it's your lucky day because I actually am auditioning for Mimi."
"Yes!" Beck says, fist pounding Andre and Robbie.
I roll my eyes. " Neither of us got the part yet so it's not the time to celebrate."
I glance at Cat and see she's wearing black leather pants and a white wife beater with a black leather jacket over it. She looks really hot but I quickly put my feelings aside.
"You're auditioning for Maureen?" I ask Cat.
"Yeah. I can definitely pull it off." She comes close to me. She flutters her eyelashes and whispers in my ear. "Plus, I feel sexy in this outfit. What do you think?"
Before I can respond, I am saved by my name being called. Everyone wishes me good luck and Cat looks disappointed. She is going to make keeping my secret extremely difficult. I push aside my thoughts and go into the auditorium.
I step on the stage and take a deep breath. "Hi, I'm Jade West. I'm auditioning for the role of Mimi. I will be singing The A Team by Ed Sheeran." At least it's only Sikowitz and the student assistant director. Of course it has to be Sinjin.
I give the sheet music to the piano player and he starts to play. I sing.
"White lips, pale face
Breathing in snowflakes
Burnt lungs, sour taste
Lights gone, days end
Struggling to pay rent
Long nights, strange men
And they say she's in the class A team
Stuck in her daydreams
Been this way since eighteen but lately
Her face seems slowly sinking wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream the worst things in life come free to us
'Cause we're just under the upper hand
She's going mad for a couple grams
And she don't want to go outside, tonight
And in a pipe she flies yo the mother land
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly
And angels to die."
I finish to Sikowitz and Sinjin clapping. I see a few tears in their eyes. That's definitely a good sign.
"That was wonderful, Jade. Callbacks are tomorrow after school. Your names will be posted tomorrow before school. Make sure you stay for the dance portion of the audition.
I thank Sikowitz and leave the auditorium. Beck goes in and I wish him luck. Cat is next, then Andre, then Tori, then Robbie. Luckily, Trina's annoying presence isn't here. She is out of town for singing lessons.
I go back to my friends. Cat is whispering to Tori but suddenly notices I'm back.
"How was it?" She asks me.
"Great, Sikowitz even cried. I'm confident I got Mimi."
"Sing to me?" Cat asks me.
I nod and sing what I just sang a few minutes ago. When I finish, she hugs me tightly. She's so strong for someone so tiny.
She lets go after a minute. " You ready for your audition?" I ask her.
"Yeah, I'm singing Barracuda. I'm just worried I won't get the part because of my hair." She says.
"Keep it that way. It looks great." I whisper to her. She beams.
Her name is called. She kisses my cheek and walks into the auditorium.
Tori raises her eyebrow at me but says nothing. It appears she's the only one that noticed what just happened between Cat and me.
Robbie's best friend Victor comes and starts talking to him. Beck also comes back over.
"How'd your audition go?" I ask Victor.
"Okay but Sikowitz wants me to play Angel." He sighs.
"I told you you're perfect for Angel." I say.
"I get that a lot. It just sucks since I'm straight."
"Whatever you say." I say and before he can protest Beck cuts him off.
"I'm almost positive I got Roger." Beck says.
"Oh joy. Today might be your lucky day." I say. He smirks at me and hugs me. He grabs my ass without warning just as Cat comes out.
Cat glares at his back. I smack his hand away and push him off me. Cat smiles at this and comes back over just as Andre goes in for his turn.
We all make small talk. I talk to Beck the whole time. He's my closest guy friend and I trust him with my life. I feel a little bad for him because he has a huge crush on me and I've rejected him so many times I've lost count. Too bad he never gives up.
Tori goes in as Andre comes back out. Beck then talks to Andre as Cat makes small talk with me. We talk about our fetishes. I tell her mine are dimples, teeth, muscles, tan skin, and accents. She tells me hers are boobs, dimples, gray eyes, and pale skin.
Robbie is called in as Tori comes out. I go back to Beck as Tori and Cat go back to whispering to each other. They suddenly peck each other's lips and glance at me as if to see my reaction.
I'm extremely jealous but I put it aside and continue talking to Beck. I quickly glance back to see Cat looking disappointed. Does she like me? It seems too good to be true. She probably just wants to fuck me.
Robbie comes back out and everyone is called in to dance.
"Everyone pick a partner, you're going to dance to Tango Maureen." Sikowitz announces.
Cat is walking over to me. Beck taps my shoulder and asks me to be his partner. I accept. Cat frowns and turns around. Tori taps her and now they're partners.
I already know this dance so I tune out the instructions. Beck and I dance effortlessly. I notice Cat and Tori are the only partners dancing just as effortlessly as Beck and me.
The dance is finally over. We all go to leave.
"Beck, Jade, Cat, Tori, Robbie, Andre, Victor, and Joe. You all must come here."
We all walk nervously toward Sikowitz.
"There will be no callbacks tomorrow. You guys are exactly who I'm looking for. The cast list will be posted tomorrow."
We all smile and thank Sikowitz. We leave the auditorium and hug each other. I walk to my car and drive home listening to my Rent CD. I get home and do my normal routine. I go to bed looking forward to tomorrow.
