Chapter 1
Tori POV
As I walked through the doorway of Hollywood Arts, I couldn't help but think about how lucky I was to make such good friends! I mean, Robbie and Rex were weird, but totally entertaining. Cat was hilarious but you couldn't help think what was really wrong with her. André was alway supportive. Jade could be a bitch but besides pouring coffee on me, she hadn't truly done anything horrible. Oh, and then there was Beck, the one I had been crushing on since I had gotten here. The one with stunning eyes and even an amazing body. He was also the one with Jade, the girl I could never compete with, with the guy she didn't deserve. Oh, speak of the devil
."Hey Beck" I said enthusiastically.
"Oh, hey Tori! How was your weekend"
"Terrible! I had to spend the whole weekend listening to Trina's rendition of 'Cats'.
"Did someone say my name" Shouted the joyful red-head."Oh hey Tori and Beck! Where's Jade?"
"Chasing Robbie" Beck said very nonchalantly.
"What? Why?" Me and Cat asked worriedly.
"Rex commented on her new haircut"
"What did she do to it?" I asked.
"She got bangs."
"Do they look good?"
"I don't know, I'm no women." Beck finished saying just as they bell rang."
"Oh, well I have to go to vocal lessons. Bye, Cat. Bye, Beck."
"Bye, Tori" they both responded.
~Class Ended. Lunch Began.~
I sat down at our usual table. Everyone was already there except for Jade and Beck. They were probably making out. So why did that make me so jealous? I don't have that strong of feelings for him. Do I? I shuddered and put that thought out of my mind for now.
"Hey y'all!" I said sitting down at the table with my lunch.
"Hey, Tori" they all responded.
"Where's Beck and Jade" I questioned.
"Fighting" said André"
"Again? What about?"
"Who knows. Their relationships bound to end soon anyways." Rex said.
I didn't know anyone thought that they weren't gonna last either. I heard Jade shouting and I looked over that way.
"No Jade" Beck tried to say quietly. But the quietness ended when Jade screamed...
"What did you just say to me?"
"You heard me Jade. I said No, I'm tired of the way you treat me. You think its okay to boss me around and expect me to listen. Well, I'm done Jade."
"Your done? You can't dump me. No ones ever dumped me!"
"Then I guess this is a new experience for you."
"Do you realize what you just said to me, Beck?"
"Yes, Jade! I'm saying we need to break up."
"Fine." And with that Jade stormed off and as if nothing had happened Beck sat down at the table. And I was completely and utterly speechless. I mean I was happy about the breakup but Beck looked so down about it. The next 20 minutes ticked by as slow as ever. No one (Not even Rex) dared to say a word. I'm sure everyone was relieved when the bell ringed for us to go to Sikowitz class. I was surprised when Beck said
"Hey, Tori" on our way to class.
"How are you doing" I asked.
"Not too good to tell you the truth" He said.
"I'm sorry" I said trying to console him even the slightest bit.
"What for Tori? You did nothing wrong. And I'm kind of glad it did happen"
"Why? You guys seemed like you were going strong."
"Nah. We were always fighting, I guess its better this way."
"I'm still sorry, though"
"Yeah, and that's why you're such a good friend." Beck said, while playfully messing up my hair. A good friend? I truly want to be something more now. But that would have to wait because Sikowitz had just walked in, and as usual he wasn't wearing any shoesand sipping out of a cocanut.
"Hello Class! To start off I would like you to get in pairs" I looked around and André and Cat were a pair, Jade had skipped class, and Robbie and Rex were with a girl he has had a crush on. Which left me to work with Beck. We met eye contact and shook our heads yes in a mutual agreement.
"Now that you have your partners you need to start writing a romance that is a minimum if 5 pages and that features a turtle" Great a romance. Well, that makes things interesting.
"Oh and I forgot to mention that you'll be performing these next week"And that makes things really interesting.
