Why Rex must die!
Disclaimer: I do not own Victorious or Mr. Laritate.
"Cat." "We are not really going to a hospital. It's a puppet." "Not to Robbie." "You know what? Maybe we should take Rex to the hospital." Jade had an idea. "Why?" "So he can DIE there." "Jaade." "It's not good for a sixteen year old guy to go through his life with his hand shoved up a..that. Maybe this happend for a reason." "But if Rex dies, Robbie is gonna..." "... get over it and become a normal person? Yeah, that be tragic."
Jade knew that she was looking heartless and cruel. And that was good, since that was her image and the others have to see her that way, even when she really felt concerned about Robbie. Naturally she would never offical admit it, but she liked him. As a friend obviously, since she had Beck, but as a friend she really cared about him. Ever since they met she looked after him in her own way and wanted to help. Hopefully nobody will ever find out, that she out of all people cared about that lonely nerd. It was always hard for her to make herself understood to someone and to become friends with someone, that's why she reverted to venoms, which most of the times meant no offense. She was complicated, so what? But when it comes down to Rex, she easily lost all her temper. It is not like his constant remarks tick her off. Most of the time it is exactly the opposite, but at the long sight he was bad for Robbie and she couldn't let that be. Especially since it is more personally to her, for she is the very reason that Rex exists in the first place.
- Flashback -
Her parents just moved to Hollywood. Her dad got a new job and so they decided that she has to leave her old life and her friends, again (despite the fact that they promised her last time that it will never happen again), to start all over at a new school. Today would be the first day in third grade and she was not that much nervous than pissed off to start from scratch. In the most common way she stood beside the teachers table in front of the blackboard and introduced herself. What an idiocy. It is the first day of the term for all of them, but none of the others have to do this silly stuff. Just because i just moved here. While she was telling her name she let her gaze run over the faces of her new schoolmates for the first time. Her eyes cling to a single boy in particular. He had dark curly hair and wore glasses. There wasn't anything special at him, but he seemed sympathetic. Maybe the reason for that was for him to be sitting alone, whereas all the others where sitting two abreast on a table. Well, at least everyone around him. There were a few more vacancy spots, but when she was finally allowed to take a seat she chose the spot right beside him. "What's your name?", she asked brusque. "Robbie, Robbie Shapiro." "Shapiro, huh? I'm Jade." "I know, you just introduced yourself." He barely looked at her and also seemed to be very shy, since he was sliding back and forth in his stool as if it was displeasing for him for her to sit on the same school desk. Now that can become interesting by all means.For the rest of the day she lounged back in her chair, crossed her arms over her belly and tried not to latch on to much of the lessons.
The first month was quite uneventful. There where a lot of homework and the classes were dreary. She wasn't dumb, so therefore she mastered most of the tuitional contents, at least if she looked it up at home once again, but she really didn't wanted to pay attention at school. Instead she started watching that Robbie-boy a bit. She really couldn't tell why, but she took a fancy on him, she liked him right away, even though up until now they hardly ever chatted. Just from time to time they conversed with each other, mostly about school and those obnoxious teachers, which let them again, with way to many tasks and homeworks, almost no free time. But then again he happend to make her laugh now and then and make her smile even more often. And that was truly not an easy task to fulfil, since she was still ill-tempered and mad at her rents and life in the whole. It was just that he was really funny and nice. "Hey Shapiro, from now on we are friends." Not a question, a declaration. Wheather he wanted to or not he was friends with her, so just don't dare to contradict. "All right, West."
Since there was really not that much to do in classes and she really didn't care to listen to Mr. Laritate's complaining about all the wrong homeworks the pupils gave to him, she started to ook at her pal out of the corners of her eyes. It has already been two month since she started this school and she didn't make any more friends. Her social abilities were bad, she was aware of that, but she had absolute no interest to make friends with most of these idiots in her class as well. Robbie was all she needed, because with him you could have a ball. And all the others showed respect for her at any rate. At least after she beat up that boy who tried to mess with her. Now nobody wanted to provoke (piss off) Jade West. But for her pal it was differently. He didn't made any more friends besides her as well which in her opinion should have been sufficient, but he really seemed to be eager to have other friends as well. It is unfortunate she he was a real underdog. And his shyness wasn't the least beneficial. He suffered because of it, she knew it, but he didn't say anything about it to her, although the two of them had become close friends. She really wanted to help him willingly, but she didn't had the first clue about what to do. A few of the others even picked on him. One of them had been extremly cruel and evil, until she tackled that dumbass about it, only then he had once again a little rest. Like mentioned before, nobody wanted to piss off Jade. "Hey Shapiro, is everything ok?" "Yes Jade, as always." He definitly didn't complained enough and let it all happen to him.
Beginnig of the third month at that boring dead-alive school there was finally some diversification. A field trip. At first they visited a theatre and afterwards they got to a shop next-door. The shop offered all kinds of goods you need as an artist, in the theatre and a lot more cool stuff. They all head off to penetrate the secrets of the shop. Jade strayed around aimlessly, until she found a particular shelf. It was full of puppets, with different clothes and appearances. There was an alien, a female opera singer and a Robbie. She just had to smile at this sight. The resemblance was just to accurate, he had dark curly hair, was casual dressed and stared right at her. Ventriloquist dummys. Robbie just had to see that one.
She set off to search for Robbie and eventually found him just two shelfs away. Surrounded by three youngsters. "What's up curly head? You jostled me, so apologise to me already." Boys are such idiots.But Robbie was just standing there doing nothing und didn't knew what to say. That silly lad who was talking jogged him to the floor and all three of them went away. "Why didn't you say anything, Shapiro?" "Just because, West." "Come on, i want to show you something." She led the way back to the puppet and showed him proudly her discovery. "So, what do you think?" He looked at the dummy and smiled as well. "It's like i'm looking into a mirror. Except the missing glasses." But his voice sounded depressed. "Robbie, you can't let that happen to you." It was the first time she called hin by his firstname. Normally she restricted herself to surnames and didn't even knew why. But now it happend and she felt some sort of tingle in her stomach. Must be because it was unfamiliar. "Jade, i am nothing like you. I can't do anything." He had a constrained look in his eyes and just a moment later she had an idea, which at that time seemed to her to be a brilliant idea. She grabbed the Robbie-puppet and pushed it into his arms. "Let it out." "Jade..." "I know, you can't say anything, but i'm not talking to you Shapiro, i want to listen to him." Robbie seemed highly irritated, but eventually he understood. "Come on man, what was their problem anyway? He bumped into you, Robbie. What a jerk." "So, how is it now?" "Weird, somehow i feel better now. Thanks." He smiled at her, a wonderful smile, if you ask for her opinion. "And i kinda like it, maybe i should become a ventriloquist." In her personal opinion he should have done everything that makes him happy. Maybe than he would have had this bewitching smiles more often. " Sure. You do know that you are not allowed to move your lips, right?" A severe remark was more like her.
