Tuesday
It was a normal day at Hollywood Arts or so Jade thought as she shut her locker and made her way to Sikowitz's classroom. Today would be the day she met Tori Vega, no big deal right?
Wrong.
Tori Vega was special and Jade didn't know why but she had a feeling she was going to find out and soon.
For the first time since she'd joined Hollywood Arts she was early. As she barged into the classroom she knocked into someone, spilling her coffee all over them.
"Watch where you're going!" She growled dangerously before tearing her eyes away from the damage done to her shirt to send a glare to the idiot and possibly offend them in one way or the other only to have her words get caught in the back of her throat. The 'idiot' she had bumped into was no other than the new girl, Tori Vega.
Tori looked up at the girl who she had just crashed into and her eyes widened the slightest bit.
She was dangerously beautiful.
Her black hair and pale skin reminded her slightly of Snow White. Her face was unreadable other then the curiosity that swimmed in her blue-green eyes.
"I'm so sorry." Tori mumbled out an apology as she began to rub Jade's shirt in a vain attempt to fix the damage done.
"Don't worry about it." She assured the brunette, shocking herself at being nice to someone, she wasn't even nice to her own boyfriend.
"But your shirt is ruined." Tori pointed out.
Jade shrugged "I have spares in my trunk."
The new girl merely nodded as she looked into Jade's eyes; both getting lost in each other's body heat at their proximity when a voice startled them back to reality.
"Jade, what's going on?" Beck asked, an odd feeling coursing through him as he saw the way his girlfriend and this stranger looked at each-other.
Jade rolled her eyes, "Nothing. We knocked into each other and I spilt my coffee over both of us." She gestured to the coffee stained shirts.
Beck's eyes narrowed, Jade still hadn't looked away. 'Something is wrong with this…' His thoughts trailed off as Sikowitz climbed through the window.
He rested his hand on Jade's shoulder, gaining her attention, before trailing his hand down her arm and took a hold of her hand, lacing their fingers together. He led her to their usual seats and sat down, Jade, almost zombie like, took the seat next to him.
Tori was still standing in the middle of the room when the teacher spoke up.
"We have a new student… Tori Vega" He spoke in his usual manner.
She sat down next to Andre and she asked him if the teacher always came through the window. He nodded just as the teacher began to speak addressing the class.
"Beck, Jade, Cat, Andre and..." Sikowitz looked around his classroom before setting his eyes on Tori "Tori. Come on stage, you'll be doing an improv exercise."
"Somebody give me a setting." The odd teacher asked his students.
"House!" Robbie/Rex exclaimed.
The group got on stage and preformed; Beck and Jade were married with Andre and Cat as their kids and Tori was the new family dog; which made her want to show just how different from a dog she was.
The performance was going off without a hitch until Rex made a comment concerning what he could see under Tori's shirt.
"Rex!" Robbie chastised his puppet, a blush staining his cheeks.
A low growl erupted from the back of Tori's throat as she stood up and glared at the crude piece of wood and felt.
"What did you just say?" Her tone of voice advised the puppet and his master to choose their next words carefully.
"How about you get back on your hands and knees and let me have another peek?"
Tori, using every ounce of self-control she possessed, walked out of the classroom, her eyes changing and her fists clenching, keeping her wolf at bay.
By the time Tori arrived at her locker she had calmed down enough and her eyes were back to her normal chocolate brown colour instead of the black and blue belonging to her animal.
"Vega?" Her name felt sweet rolling off her tongue.
Tori spun around, her hand over her heart.
"Jade," She gasped "you startled me. What are you doing here?"
The thought that Jade came after her sent a thrill through her veins.
The goth smirked, holding up her hand which was in possession of a, unfortunately, familiar puppet.
Their gazes held for a few seconds before Jade made her way to the scissors covered locked, twisted the combination and opened her locked, throwing the detached head inside.
"Ignore Rex, he's a-" She began, turning to face Tori after shutting her locker.
"Hey girl, you okay there?" Andre appeared out of nowhere cutting Jade off mid-sentence.
"Yeah but I don't think I fit in at this school. Everyone seems so unique and…" She trailed off with a defeated sigh.
Jade and Andre looked at each other for a few seconds before simultaneously saying with as much conviction as they cloud muster "Yeah, you do"
"You know why?" Andre asked.
Tori shook her head and sighed "Why?"
"Because you are special and anyway normal is overrated."
The half-Latina chuckled; she was definitely not normal. If only they knew how special she really was.
"Come on, let's go back to class." Jade suggested, wrapping her fingers around the other girl's wrist. Jade's hand was ice-cold while Tori's wrist was burning, the contrast in temperatures making both girls gasp.
The Goth girl released the tanned girl's wrist quickly, almost as if she was afraid she could be burnt and pushing the odd moment out of their minds the three students made their way back to class.
"Ah, nice of you to come back to class." Sikowitz exclaimed as the door closed behind the three young adults "Beck, Jade, Tori, Cat and Andre on stage again."
Beck smiled as he took Jade's hand in his and led her to the stage. Tori ignored the twinge in her heart at the sight and with the rest of the group followed up on stage.
"You'll be doing an alphabetical improv exercise" He told Jade to explain it to Tori and after a few minutes they were ready to start.
"Alright we need a letter."
"N as in New." A guy from the back called out.
It got confusing pretty quickly and before anyone had time to react Tori had her arms around Jade's waist and her lips pressed hard against hers. The Goth girl stiffened but quickly relaxed and her hands were quick to tangle in Vega's hair. Jade slid her tongue shyly along the other girl's lip and was granted entrance almost immediately. As the kiss deepened Tori pulled Jade flush against her own body.
Only when the need to breathe clawed its way to the girls' lungs did the girls pulled apart, putting some distance between their heated bodies.
The whole room was silent, the only sounds were Jade's and Tori's rapid breathing.
"This is a very interesting class." Sikowitz remarked.
Both girls' eyes widen as they realised what had just happened. Tori ran a hand through her hair as Jade looked over to Beck; he looked conflicted.
He opened his mouth to say something when the bell rung. Tori couldn't move, couldn't speak and she definitely couldn't think about anything other than that kiss. Jade, on the other hand, seemed to be working on overdrive. She dashed out of the door as fast as she could while trying to suppress the need to touch her still tingling lips.
The rest of the day went by uneventfully as Jade and Tori kept their distance and attempted to put the morning's events out of their minds. Unsuccessfully of course but no-one noticed and if they did no one brought it up.
