This is a story in my Victorious high school series. Junior year is proceded by Freshman Year and Sophomore Year. Senior Year is next. In my story Junior Year I once again use Jade's journal entries to explain Jade's perspective on the events of her life. Junior Year follows season three, more or less. I change the order of episodes, add events, and alter some plot lines to better fit my plot at large. My goal is that Jade's perspective is told and is in character. Another one of my goals is that I portray an average high school experience for our group of friends in Victorious. That accounts for why I alter some of the plot lines to make it more realistic. Here goes...

Junior Year

Chapter 1

Snow White or Ozzy Osborne August 2011

I dyed my hair black. I was bored. I had scissors in my hand as I was cutting up some paper and I was tempted to cut my hair. But that would be bad and I do have like an ounce of self control so I went to the store and got black hair dye. It really pissed off my dad when he saw it. He said it was unnessary and asked if I was going for a Snow White look because I failed and looked more like Ozzy Osborne. That pissed me off. I told him I was going out. He didn't care since he hates me anyway. I ended up at Beck's, of course. He could tell I was upset. I shouldn't let my father upset me but I can't help it so I was angry and sad at the same time, which is never a good combination. Beck made feel better and told me he liked it. He even said we could watch The Scissoring as long as I would cheer up.

First Day of Junior Year August 2011

Today was the first day of junior year. The best thing about junior year is that Trina Vega is a senior and next year I will be a senior and Trina will no longer torture the halls of Hollywood Arts with her talentless, excruciating, vain, and stupid self. Of course, Robbie kicked off the start of junior year in the creepy way that only Robbie can. The freak walked up to Beck and I and said, "Hello good lookin!" Beck assumed that Robbie was saying that to me and told Robbie, "Dude you know you shouldn't tell someone their good looking when their boyfriend is standing right next to them". I had assumed that Robbie was saying that to Beck and was about to give Robbie his first smack of junior year. However, Robbie explained that he was saying it to both of us. Like that makes it any less weird. Beck and I walked away in shame that we associate ourselves with the boy.

Helen Back Again August 2011

Hollywood Arts got a new principal, Ms. Helen. She wants us to all re audition. If we do not pass then we get kicked out of school. I chose to look at this tyrant's plan as a challenge. I gave the best audition. I wrote, directed, and stared in my own short horror film. It successfully scared and scarred everyone. I will forever cherish the look of terror on Sikowitz's face. I hope to one day bring that look of terror upon the faces of everyone that watches my horror films. That is my dream. My other dream is that Tori Vega gets kicked out of school and our lives. That dream was so close to happening. Tori Vega was kicked out of school. I was in shock. Then, everyone, including my boyfriend, decided that Tori Vega deserved to stay. They talked to our new tyrant and discovered that Tori Vega did not get kicked out. It was a mix up and Trina Vega was supposed to kicked out of school. I was disappointed that Tori got to stay but plenty satisfied that Trina got kicked out. Honestly, Tori is 100 times more talented than Trina. Trina no longer attending HA would be a blessing upon all of our ears. Everyone would win. So why did everyone lose? Tori decided to enact a plan that made Helen allow Trina to stay at Hollywood Arts. In conclusion, Tori must be half deaf and an idiot to form and carry out a plan to allow her deaf tone talentless annoying sister to stay at Hollywood Arts.

Begging On Your Knees August 2011

Tori started dating senior Ryder Daniels. I know just about everything that goes on at this school. I know that Ryder Daniels dates a lot of girls. Ryder Daniels dumps a lot of girls. He's considered the hottest most popular senior. Obviously there has to be a catch. He's hiding something. Naïve Vega didn't think there was a catch. Guess what? Ryder was hiding something. He only dates girls that can help him with a project. Once the project is over (and after a few trips to the back seat) he dumps the girl, claiming that they were a great team but that was all. They would be better off as friends. I warned Vega but she did not believe me. She claimed that I just don't want her to be happy, which is probably true. However, I know what I'm talking about. I am dating the hottest most popular junior. I always thought that Beck wanting to go out with me was strange. I thought that he must be hiding something. His transparent locker must be a sham. I turned out to be correct. He was hiding something, he's from Canada. Beck claims that he was never hiding his homeland, it had just not come up immediately in our relationship. I know I am exaggerating because Beck's secret is quite insignificant compared to Ryder's secret but I was still right. Tori was devastated that Ryder was a liar. I did not feel sorry for her because she should have listened to me. Before we went to Tori's house Beck told me to be on my best behavior. When we got there I made some sarcastic comments aimed at Tori. I know she was hurting and she has helped me when I was hurting, I just can't help myself sometimes. Beck put me in time out. He claimed that it was so that I wouldn't say anything else that would get me in trouble. I also listened to him and sat on the steps. Why do I listen to him? I don't know. Sometimes I really like when the calm Beck gets authoritative. Other times I know he is looking out for me. He just has an effect on me, not that I would ever tell him. In case you're wondering I gave Beck the silent treatment. We stopped for coffee and pie on the way home and this morning he gave me a cactus so I'll it go.

Venting Time August 2011

Time to vent! Beck took me out to dinner tonight. I told him to order for me since I had to go to the restroom and he ordered me a salad. You only order a salad if you think someone is fat. He assured me that he does not think I'm fat. He only ordered me a salad because I didn't tell him what I wanted and he thought that I ordered a salad last time we ate at this restaurant. Unbelievable, he should be able to read my mind by now. I wanted the chicken sandwich.

The Breakfast Bunch September 2011

We all got detention. It's all Robbie's fault but I'm sure that's not surprising. Juniors and seniors are allowed to go off of campus for lunch but you have to sign in and out at the office. It is a big hassle so we don't do it too often. It was Friday and since the school year hasn't been in session for long it is the last week we have to breathe before the chaos of auditions, projects, and plays begins so we all decided to reward ourselves with a lunch out. We went to Nozu down the street from HA. Robbie started chocking on his sushi roll so we were late getting back. Our punishment was detention with Vice Principal Vickers on Saturday. Vickers isn't really interested in the arts, he's interested in being an asshole. Rumor has it, and he will back it up, that the district brought him into HA so that he could shore up the academics and discipline on the artsy and eccentric students of HA. The district wants to ensure that HA is not only known for the arts but also for the rigorous academic standards. Those words are paraphrased from the first of the year assembly Vickers spoke at this August. I've gotten detention a few other times for my attitude. Since Vickers took over detention he calls your parents if you get detention so there is no chance to forge a signature. My mom was annoyed I got in trouble but did not further lay into me because at least this time it wasn't my attitude that got into trouble. Beck got grounded all weekend so I am sitting here and writing this instead of spending time with him. His parents took his phone and computer so that we can't communicate in any way. I bet his parents have him doing yard work and stuff right now. Once he was ten minutes late for curfew so his parents made him spend the rest of the weekend doing yard work, meticulously cleaning the house, and doing yard work for the elderly lady down the street. He also got stuck talking to the old lady for an hour and a half.

First, we have to pick up any litter from outside, which we finished in about five minutes. Then, Vickers makes us sit in the library. He sits in his office down the hall doing whatever. As long as we are quiet he only checks on us every 30 minutes. He hasn't figured out that we know his routine. We are supposed to write an essay about what we learned in detention. In the past we had to do some cleaning but that was stopped when the guitar players were caught sniffing the cleaning products. We were unbelievably bored. We used the phone in the library to call Trina so she could bring us tacos. An all day detention meant that the school had to feed us, unfortunately school food is often disgusting and the only thing on today's menu was reheated chunks of chicken floating in what was supposed to be gravy, peas, and a bruised apple. We snuck to Trina's locker, where Trina dropped off the tacos. Cat and Robbie were wimps and thought we were making a big mistake by leaving the library. We had to sneak around the slippery hallways avoiding Dickers, who was roaming the halls, stopping to dance every once in a while. At one point Dickers was headed back to the library so Tori created a distraction so that we could all get back to the library. We chose Tori to create a distraction because she was the least likely to get in trouble. She told Dickers that she was looking for him because she wanted to ask him a question. Vickers scolded her, without listening to her question and then sent her back to the library.

As we ate we sat around looking for conversation or something to break up the boredom. Tori showed us some weird foot trick with an arrow, Cat drew us each a picture (they look like the artist is five, it concerned us all), Robbie and Rex tried to do stand up until we threatened to lock him in the library bathroom, Andre started run dancing like a crazy person, Beck fell asleep, and I used by scissoring skills to do paper crafts. At one point we got so bored that we started talking about personal things. Andre confessed that he was scared he would never make it as a musician and felt pressure to make it so he wouldn't let down his family. Cat confessed that her brother is really weird and not mentally sane. We already knew that. She then confessed that she knew something about Beck and didn't know if Beck knew it. He confusingly asked her what and she confessed that Beck is adopted. He already knew that as did all of us, it's not exactly a secret. I mean his parents are older white people. She really doesn't get how this works. Tori confessed that her mom turns into an idiot flirt when her dad's partner is near. Finally, Vega has a bump in the perfect path that is her life. Robbie confessed something about crying. I wasn't paying attention him. He also thinks his dad doesn't like to take him out in public because he is embarrassed of him and Rex. Even I confessed something. My dad's probably embarking on his second divorce and my mom's probably getting ready to remarry, he's a nice guy but I don't want her to remarry, I like it just being the two of us. Beck confessed that he's not getting along with his parents very well and their pressuring him to look into all kinds of colleges, even in Canada. They want him to apply to an all boys acting camp in Maine for this summer. I know that is all because of me.

We all agreed that we don't want to end up like our parents. Beck and I ended up splitting away for a bit and talking about his parents plans. He claimed that we're only starting junior year so we still have some time before we have to worry. We both admitted that we hoped to go to college together, which made us blush to be talking about the future. I told him the acting camp sounded like a great opportunity and I would really miss him over the summer. But we could be old fashioned and write letters and have awesome "I'm so glad to see you, It's been so long sex". We didn't vocalize that we both knew the reason his parents wanted to send him to an expensive all boys summer acting camp across the country, they didn't want us spending the entire summer together. They want Beck to see all of the opportunities out there for a young man, opportunities he may miss out on being in a serious relationship. We both tried to awkwardly change the subject; we're not very good at such intimate talk. We ended up making out in the philosophy section of the library. We can't really make out anymore without it turning into more so we had sex. What, we were in the philosophy section, no one ever goes there so it's rather discreet, and we had eleven minutes before Vickers checked on us again. We've never done it in such a public place before and it was pretty exciting. Beck tried to say we couldn't do it there but his protest didn't last long. His defense was weak since he really has a problem with only looking and not touching. Beck was in shock after so I gave him a little slap back into reality. We rejoined the others with a few moments to spare before Vickers came to check on us. No one suspected anything, well maybe Andre did because he is the only one that is not a naive idiot and when he saw us come back a bit out of breathe he was grinning like an idiot. He avoided a swift kick to the shin by me for not saying anything.

Thanks to Cat and Vega's insistence we played truth or hot sauce. If you didn't want to pick truth you had to swallow hot sauce, and could not drink any water after. They didn't want to play truth or dare because they knew I would assign them with dangerous or humiliating dares. Cat couldn't handle the hot sauce so she stuck to truth. Everyone but Andre and I chose really lame and safe questions for truth, so what was even the point of playing? Cat giggled, Tori looked apprehensive, and Robbie looked nervous. Here is a little dialogue to prove how lame the game was;

Cat to Beck: Do you want to marry Jade when you grow up?

Beck:Sure.

Cat giggled and batted her eyelashes while Beck and I snuck a glance at each other and then blushed.

Cat to Tori: How many boys have you kissed?

Tori: Three. (She better not have included Beck!)

Andre to Robbie: How many girls have you kissed?

Robbie: Well, my first kiss was at Hebrew school when I was nine. Rachael Cohen kissed me on the slide. Then, Andy came by with ice cream and she never talked to me again. Trina and Cat kissed me. Thank you, ladies. Last week I gave a lady at my nana's nursing home mouth to mouth. (Mouth to mouth counts as kissing in Robbie's mind…..disturbing.) Rex: You're leaving out one kiss. Robbie: No I'm not Rex, leave me alone. (They argued for about two minutes until Robbie finally gave in).

Robbie: Ok! I did leave out one kiss. One time at summer camp this kid, Kurt, kissed me on the dock of the lake. He drowned the next day. (Cat and Tori expressed how sad that was until they erupted into laughter joining the rest of us.) Oh my goodness! I've never even been the one to initiate the kiss and I don't really want to count the mouth to mouth experience. I've always been so taken by surprise I've never even got to put my hands on their waist or stand on one leg and raise the other in an acute angle like in the movies.

Beck: Man, boys don't do that leg thing in the movies or real life. But, I'm sure one day you'll get a chance to go for it, the kiss not the leg thing.

Me to Cat: Cat do you think a non stage kiss from Robbie would be disgusting? Cat: No. (Insert blushing and giggling). (You're welcome Robbie).

Tori to Beck: Do you ever feel like you don't fit in with your family since your adopted?

Beck: Yeah, sometimes. (Thanks, Tori for bringing up what bums out my freakishly calm boyfriend). Tori: Do know anything about your birth parents and do you ever think about finding them?

Beck: All I know is my birth mother was Indian, my father was white, and they lived in Canada. I don't know if I ever want to meet either of them. I feel like if I did and it didn't go well I'd never be able to undo it. It might be like opening up a can of worms. If I went looking for them I know my parents would be supportive but I know it would hurt their feelings. I know they've given me a good life so maybe some things are left better unexplored.

Andre to Jade: When did you and Beck do the deed for the first time? (That is how Andre, your typical perverted teenage boy got to gloat and embarrass me and Beck for knowing our dirty little secret about what happened in the philosophy section an hour ago). Jade: Let's just say allegedly it occurred when you were busy calling out bingo numbers at your grandma's senior center instead of hanging out at the beach with Zoë Miller like you were planning. You spent a month cozying up to her and laying that ground work so you could spend the summer spreading lotion on those sun kissed shoulders and dating her but you ended up calling bingo numbers and she ended up in a cabana with Derrick Washington. Now you're a lonely boy. (I knew Beck wasn't thrilled that I basically admitted we were having sex but I know he was pleased that I got back at Andre by telling everyone about Zoe Miller because Andre was still super bitter about it).

Beck to Andre: So, how far did you get with the girl that you took to prom? (I was so proud of my boyfriend for that question. I totally wanted to take him to the philosophy section again.I must be rubbing off of him). Tori: It was a prome. Jade: Shut up and let Andre talk.

Andre: Well, she was crazy but I'm a hormonal teenage boy so I couldn't resist the temptation. She wanted to do something to me. I was dropping her off so we were in my car. Her dad came out. He was furious and thought it was my entire fault. Luckily my doors automatically lock so he couldn't get in the car, but he wanted to so he could beat me. I sped off and crazy was still in the car. A few blocks away I kicked her out of the car and sped home. She kept calling me until like June and I told her to lose my number. She finally stopped calling me. I heard she's pregnant and a Northridge dude is the baby daddy. I really dodged a bullet on that one.

The game was then over and we sat in silence for the last twenty minutes of detention. We were all slightly embarrassed and uncomfortable.
