I heard another shot, and suddenly the room was alive with light, and fire.

Jade's POV

"What's in a name?" he screamed at me! "Would not a rose by any other name smell as sweet?"

"Done to death by slanderous tongue."

"How now, a rat!"

"OFF WITH HIS HEAD!"

Beck leaned in, "If I had no head I couldn't do this." He kissed me, long and hard.

I let out a little giggle, which was very unlike me. I'm glad no one heard.

"Beeeep, Beck, you're out! Unless that was a Shakespeare quote." Sikowitz announced to the class.

Beck winked at me as he returned to his seat and smiled.

"Congratulations, Jade!" I smiled and bowed to what I imagined to be my adoring audience and then turned to glare at Beck.

I hated it when he let me win. It drove me nuts! If he threw the match that meant he didn't really lose. For me to win, someone always had to lose. Oh well, at least I got to beat Tori. She went so quickly. This was part of the reason I loved Sikowitz's class, apart from the freedom, to express yourself however the hell you want, I got to prove my seniority of acting, over suck ups like Vega.

"Jade, you can take your seat now." Sikowitz's voice pulled me back to the present. I quickly hurried to my seat.

"Nice giggle." Rex remarked. I glared at him.

"Tell anyone and you're dead, puppet." I replied, staring at Robbie.

Man, it really freaked me out how Robbie carried that thing around all day. I had no clue why Cat liked him so much. When he asked her to prom she was freaking out about if she should still go with Tug. It almost made me feel sad about how I was going to ruin it. No that that turned out how I planned.

Speaking, (or thinking I suppose) of Cat, it was already third period and I hadn't seen her all day. We normally met up before school.

"Hiiiiii!" there was only one person who could say hello that loud.

"It's November 15th!" This made perfect sense to me, but I knew Cat well. Her brother came home for his un-birthday every November 15th, (don't ask me Cat's family is weird,) and her brother always did something stupid, so it made sense that she's be late. Sometimes she didn't show up until lunch. But the lesser mortals on this planet did not understand Cat like I did, so I expected some pretty strange reactions. But what surprised me was Beck's. He was normally a pretty relaxed guy. Calm, cool and collected. He's my total opposite, that's why I love him.

But not today.

"No! It November 14th!" He jumped up, panicked.

"No, it's not! My brother stuck a peanut up his nose." See what I mean about Cat's family?

"No, no, no, no, no!" Beck was totally freaking out now.

"Beck?" I asked standing up. "You okay?"

He took one look at me and ran from the room.
