Chapter 1

It's the morning of the start of the second semester at Hollywood Arts. Beck and Jade have just gotten back together after an eight month break up, but their relationship is already back to the way it was. It was almost as if they had never broken up. As they walk through the double doors they can see Cat, Robbie, and Andre all talking around Tori's locker. They join their friends to see what all the commotion is about. When they reach the locker, they can see that something is going on. All of them are talking over each other and they seem stressed.

Beck attempts to greet them, but as they are all yelling, they don't hear him. Jade finally screams "HEY!" at the top of her lungs to get their attention. Everyone immediately stops talking and greets Jade and Beck.

"What was all that yelling bout?" questioned Beck

"Yeah, you idiots were causing a scene" said Jade

"It's second semester of our senior year here at Hollywood Arts. That means it's time to start figuring out what we want to do for the rest of our lives and time to start filling out college applications" Explained Tori

"It's pretty stressful to know that we only have a few more months until the rest of our lives start" Said Andre.

Beck and Jade soon started questioning what would happen next year. Would they go to the same school? Be in the same city? Be forced to be in a long-distance relationship? Or have to call it quits…again?

Their thoughts were interrupted by the bell. Soon they were all gathered in Sikowitz's class.

"CLASS!" He began in his loud-as-ever voice "Welcome back from winter break, and most importantly, welcome to the second semester of this year. Which, for some of you, will be your last with us here at Hollywood Arts"

This got the group of friends thinking all about graduation and the end of their days at the performing arts high school. Suddenly, their thoughts were once again interrupted, this time, by a weeping Cat.

"What's wrong Cat?" asked Tori.

"I don't want to leave Hollywood Arts. I really love this school!" She said inbetween sobs.

"Aww, I know how you feel, but we still have a few more months, so let's just try to enjoy them." Suggested Tori

As the end of class approached, Sikowitz announced the assignment for the week.

"This week will be a little different. The underclassmen will have a different assignment than the seniors. Underclassmen, I have a sheet you can pick up on the way out explaining what to do. Seniors, I need you all to write a letter to yourselves explaining what you plan on doing post-Hollywood Arts. You will explain IN DETAIL, what you plan on doing for the rest of your life and how Hollywood Arts has helped you come to this decision"

And with that, the bell rang and class was dismissed.

What would Jade write about? She hadn't even thought about what she wanted to do. She knew she wanted to go to NYU, but what would she become? Beck wondered just the same, only, he hadn't thought about anything. He didn't know where he wanted to go to school next year or what his profession would be after that.

They only had a week to figure it out, thanks to Sikowitz's assignment.
