Author's Note: Sorry I've been gone so long but I've been grounded lately. Here's my first Jori story. Well right now it's just Michael aggravating Jade.

Chapter 1

Tori walked up to her locker, ready to start the day. Of course like any other student, that meant guzzling down cups of coffee and putting on a 'I'm-ready-to-learn' face', while still trying hard to stay awake during the long and boring speeches about useless bullshit. She doesn't go to an acting school for anything. But she was also waiting for somebody; her cousin that came into town is now going to her school. So while getting rid of her third cup of coffee she was anxiously waiting for her cousin to appear, and give him a good welcome. While she was getting out her books for the day a teenage boy walked through the front door. He was a fairly tall guy with short brunette hair that was tussled and looked like he just woke up, he had dark brown eyes, tan skin, thin frame but had muscle; he wore a black shirt that said BITE ME and baggy jeans. He walked up to Tori and leaned into her ear.

"You single beautiful?" He whispered.

Tori whipped around and snarled before she realized who it was.

"Now is that a way to greet your favorite cousin?" He smirked.

"Michael!" she squealed and jumped into a hug.

"There's the response I'm looking for."

"How's it going?" Tori asked hesitantly. She knew why he suddenly moved from the quite town of Richmond, Kentucky to the noisy and sunny city of LA.

"I'm fine Tori." Michael assured. "Stop worrying about me."

As he said this Tori's friends came up to them. Tori finally let go of her cousin as Andre talked.

"Hey Tor." He said

"Hey guys." Tori replied

"Uh…who's the guy beside you?" Jade asked. "And more importantly why is he with you?"

Michael raised an eyebrow. "My name is Michael Vega."

"Vega?" Robbie asked.

Michael leaned over to Tori. "Can I say something?"

"No." Tori said sternly.

"Well going to anyway…" Michael received a glare from Tori as he said, "Yes, dip wad, Vega. As in I'm related to Tori."

"That's actually cleaner then what I thought you were going to say." Tori said surprised. "Yeah this is my cousin."

"Oh so who should I feel more sorry for?" Jade asked smirking.

"The guy beside you, he has to smell your horrible breath." Michael said.

Jade just stared at Michael while Tori elbowed him in the side while trying to fight back a laugh.

"Be nice." Tori said.

"No."

Tori rolled her eyes and Jade kept showing her death glare in means to hopefully burn a hole into Michael.

"Take a picture it lasts longer." Michael said.

"I like to keep my camera and not have it break thank you." Jade retorted.

Without blinking an eye Michael shot right back, "Yet you stare at your mirror."

Jade took a menacing step forward. "Better watch it."

"Hard to miss your face in a crowd."

"Hard to miss your smell."

"Your breath should be able to cover it up."

They were standing face to face. Michael was just enough taller than Jade that he could look down to meet her eyes. Beck grabbed Jade by the waist and Tori grabbed Michael's wrist and they tried to separate the two.

"Come on Jade." Beck said. "Michael shut up!" Tori said.

Michael ripped his arm from Tori's iron grip and stared at Jade.

"What are you looking at?" Jade asked.

Michael grinned. "I like you. What's your name?"

"Jade West." She said through gritted teeth.

"Jade….." His grin grew into a smile. "It was a pleasure meeting you Jade. Hope I have some classes with you."

He walked away and Tori followed him to direct him to his first class. Jade was still standing there fuming as Beck unwrapped his arms from her waist.

"You okay?" He asks.

"Yeah." She breathed. She was taking slow breathes to calm herself down.

"That was a great…meeting." Andre said.

"He made Jade squirm." Rex said.

Jade gave the puppet a death glare.

"REX!" Robbie said.

Meanwhile, Tori was trying to reason with Michael and find out the point in his attitude.

"Was there a point in all that joking?" Tori asked.

"Yes actually there was." Michael said.

"And it was?"

"To see how your friends react with a smartass." Michael grinned. "That hot goth, Jade, seemed to handle herself really good."

Tori just stared at her cousin biting down the bile that was building in her mouth. Even though she never will admit it Tori has always had a crush on Jade. And hearing her cousin call her hot unsettled her greatly. Michael seemed to notice nothing as he settled into his chair.

"Is it true one teacher likes coconuts?" Michael asked.

"Yeah." Tori said.

"Oh no!" A scream came from behind them. Tori looked over and saw Jade looking at her cousin with much hesitance and anger.

"Hey guys." Tori said.

"Why is he here?" Jade hissed.

"I'm here to get a pointless education." Michael replied. "How about you?"

Jade growled.

"Ooh scary." Michael smirked. "You'll probably scare a lot of rocks with that."

"Michael!" Tori groaned.

"I've never heard you say it like that." Michael said.

"Come on!" Tori huffed. "Try to not be an ass."

"Trying…." Michael sat still for a second. "Nope too boring. Now where's the wicked witch of the west?"

"Listen Michael…" Jade started.

"Good morning class." Their history teacher said.

"Morning." Evryone said.

"And let the torture begin." Michael muttered.

To be continued.

Authors Note: Hey people. This is my first uploaded Jori story. Though it comes later. For awhile Michael is just giving Jade hell. Michael has a past he wants to keep secret. That plays a big part later in the story. Sorry but a lot of times my stories take awhile to get started.
