Chapter One
The Promise
Tori Vega sat on the bench with her friends. They all talked about what they planned to do over the summer. They were all sophomores, but two years could fly by so fast. It was proven with Trina, who now suddenly can't stop crying. It seemed like every week she was putting on a new one-man musical each week.
Tori was forced to go to at least one of them before the school year ended. "Promise me," She began. The group turned and looked at her. They smiled. "Yes, Tori?" Andre asked. He was always friendly with her. It made her feel special. "Promise me, we won't be like one of those people who say, oh we'll stay in touch then don't." She replied. I looked around the small group of people.
"Of course, Tori." Cat replied. "Yeah, we'll be together." Robbie pitched in. "There wouldn't be a fun day without you all here, plus you all are like the only friends I have!" The group smiled, giggling. "That's a shocker!" Rex piped in. "Hey!" Robbie replied. The gang could only smile.
The bell rang signaling lunch was over. Tori headed for her dreaded American History class. For homework, she had to complete an essay about pages 345- 346. Her eyes still stung from how late she was up, doing the assignment. She sat in the front, and Mr. Daniels skipped into the room happily. He placed the suit case, on his desk, and turned to face his class. The smile on his face, looked as if it would be impossibly hard to wipe off. Jade walked in, as usual, as the bell rung. "You late, Ms. West." Mr. Daniels replied. "Yeah, whatever." Jade sat, plumping herself in the seat at the back, and putting her feet on the desk.
"Class, I have an announcement to make." Mr. Daniels replied, ignoring the fact that Jade put her combat boots on the top of her desk. "Yes." They all chimed. "My girlfriend of ten years and I are getting married!" Mr. Daniels said. The class smiled, and cheered their congratulations. After five minutes, of cheering, he got the class to settle down. He began lecturing them on what they had to do for homework.
Beck couldn't believe that all the class could fall asleep to one documentary. Heck, he wondered why he didn't. Miss. Jenson was at her desk, doing paperwork, that needed to be completed. Beck sighed again, and looked at the TV. The video was about the environment.
But, he couldn't help but let his mind wonder. What was his friends doing right now? What was his girlfriend doing right now? He thought about all the things he was going to do in the summer. After school, the whole gang was going over to Tori's to do their project for Mr. Sikowitz's class.
He was thrown off his thoughts, when the credits began to play, and the lights came on. Beck's eyes were blinded, mostly because he wasn't used to it yet. "Alright class, now let's talk projects…"
