Disclaimer: I don't own Victorious, and I never will :(
A/N: Hey guys! A lot has happened since the beginning of the school year and I feel like I need to get it all off my chest. I've decided to get it all out by writing a story about it and hopefully it's a good! So, here it goes. Welcome to my personal life, but in the victorious world instead. It's in Cat's point of view by the way, and instead of her being the same age as Jade, Beck, Andre and everyone else, who are Juniors in my story, she is a freshman. Also, there's going to be some characters that I made up. Sorry, I'm trying to make this as close to how everything really happened as I can, but I'm also trying to blend victorious in with it. It could either come together smoothly, or it could turn into a huge mess. Oh and just a warning! It will most likely, not have a happy ending. Haha, enjoy :)
CHAPTER 1: The Girl In Black
I wandered the halls looking for my first class. It was my first day of high school and I was a freshman. I was very excited though because I had been accepted to the most amazing school ever! I got into Hollywood Arts! Hollywood Arts is a performing arts high school in Las Angeles. As I walked through the hallway, I couldn't stop focussing on the bright colors around me. All the lockers were decorated with art, and even the people looked like art themselves! There was a smile on just about everyone's face and it made my face gleam with excitement.
Music flooded the school and it made me skip to my class. My skirt and pony tail bounced along with me as I entered the classroom. My first class was Vocal, and I was so excited! I love singing so much and I knew that everyone in the class would love it too. In middle school, everyone thought performing arts was stupid, but now I'm in a place where performing is everything!
I was the first one to walk into the classroom and the teacher greeted me with a warm smile. He had short, grey hair, and big bushy eyebrows. In some ways, he reminded me of Santa Clause without the beard. He gave me a sheet of paper with music on it. At the top it said "O'Danny Boy". I smiled when I read the title. I absolutely love this song! The choir director told me that we'd be singing it for him to see what voice part we were in. I already knew I'd be in soprano though because I can sing very high.
I looked around the room to pick a place to sit. On one sit of the room, there were three rows of black chairs. On the other side of the room, there were risers. Then, in the front, there was a gorgeous grand piano. I took a seat in the first row of the black chairs.
As I read through the lyrics, a girl sat next to me. I looked up and said "Hi! I'm Cat!" She smiled back and said, "Hey Cat, my name's Tori!" She shook my hand and I giggled. Tori was a Junior, but she was really nice! I would've thought that all the upperclassmen would be mean and stuff! It was really weird to have older people in the same classes as me though because I'm used to sharing classes with people in the same grade as me.
Tori told me a lot of things about the school, like the different events that will occur throughout the school year, and about the different teachers. The chorus teacher's name was apparently Mr. Kay. She asked me what my schedule was and I found out that we have a lot of classes together! I'm so happy that I'd know someone.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang behind me. I jumped and turned around. A girl dressed in black had kicked a chair and went and sat in the risers that were on the other side of the classroom. "Hey Vega! Kay wants us upperclassmen on the risers. Apparently we're the only Juniors in here." Her voice seemed harsh, but there was some sort of softness to it at the same time. It reminded me of a baby lion trying to roar and sound scary, but failing. Tori stood up and said, "Sorry, we can talk later!". She walked over to the risers and sat next to the girl in black. I started to study the girl. She had dark hair with streaks of purple in it. There was a piercing on her eyebrow, nose, and bottom lip. The lip piercing caused me to pause and examine her pink, and mouth-watering lips. I kept thinking what it'd be like to touch them with mine. NO CAT. Snap out of it...
Oh my gosh! I totally forgot to mention, I have a girlfriend. We never see each other though because she goes to a different school than me, so I guess we're kind of in a long distance relationship. Her name is Bella, which fits her perfectly because she's so beautiful! We've been dating for about 7 months now and she makes me so happy! I know what you're thinking now, "Wow! Cute innocent Cat is a lesbian?" Well, let me tell you, I'm not innocent, but I'm not bad either. Just because I am lesbian doesn't make me a bad... donkey? I don't cuss either by the way! Anyways, it's just who I like. Boys just don't appeal to me in any way. Oh, and I'm not talking about that S-E-X word... I don't even focus on that. Girls just have a way of drawing me in that boys don't.
Once, I had snapped out of my thoughts, I resumed looking at the girl next to Tori. I don't think I've ever studied someone for so long, but this girl was just so different and interesting. She was reading a book and I watched her mouth move as she read. She looked really focussed on what she was reading and I thought the way she was looking at each page was adorable. Oh no! I feel so bad for thinking that! I only think Bella is adorable...
I watched her fingers as she flipped the pages in her book. She had long fingernails that were painted black. Her shirt cut down low and exposed the top of her breasts. When I realized what I was staring at, I quickly looked away and tried to focus on nothing but my music.
When everyone had entered the class and the bell rung, Mr. Kay began to speak. "Hello class, my name is Mr. Kay, although I guess two of you already know that..." Tori and the other girl looked up and waved at Mr. Kay. I looked around at the rest of my classmates, who were all freshman. There were only five boys, and the rest of us were girls.
Mr. Kay explained how everything at Hollywood Arts worked and what we would be doing in his class. "And I think that's about it! If you have any questions, you can ask either Jade or Tori. They are Juniors and have been here for a few years." Everyone looked to Tori and the other girl whose name was Jade. I whispered her name to see what it felt like coming out of my mouth. Her name sounded so beautiful... Even more beautiful than the name Bella. That didn't make sense though because the name Bella means beautiful...
"Why are there two Juniors in this class?" Some kid in the back of the room asked.
"Well, they're actually in Vox, but they're taking this class for fun. Once you take all the classes that you're required to take, you'll have free spaces in your schedule! This is beginners chorus where all freshmen have to start. Then, there's women's chorus, which most of you will be in next year. And then, if you're good enough, there's Vox, which is the school's best chorus."
When the bell rang, I walked out of class with Tori. She asked me a lot of questions like if I liked Mr. Kay and things like that. Then, we parted ways and I went to my next class. I had English next. At Hollywood Arts we're required to take Chorus, English, Piano, Intro to the Arts, an Improv class, History, Dance, and a foreign language. We have 4 classes a day. One day, I have the first four classes, and the next day I'd have the other four classes and it would alternate. I just thought I'd explain that since some people don't have to do that. I know what you're thinking though, You don't have a math or science class? Well, actually, we take those classes online so that we have more time to do our artistic classes.
The rest of the day went by in a blur. All I could think about was that girl, Jade. Why was she filling my thoughts though?
I texted Bella as soon as I got home and tried as hard as I could to focus on her. I thought about Bella's gorgeous brown eyes and short hair. However, Jade always found a way to enter my mind. The sad thing was, I only knew Jade's name and what she looked like, yet I still couldn't stop thinking about her. How could someone I don't even know make me feel this way? I felt absolutely horrible and sick to my stomach. It felt as if I were betraying Bella...
The next day at school, I was hoping that I wouldn't have any classes with Jade. As much as I wanted to see her beautiful face, I needed to avoid her. Everytime someone would walk in the classroom, I looked up to make sure it wasn't Jade. I was becoming paranoid and guilt was taking over me. I can't be into Jade! I love Bella. I kept repeating my love for Bella in my head over and over again.
It was third bell and I was relieved because I hadn't made contact with Jade so far. My third bell class was history. As I sat down, all the girls started swooning and I turned around to see what they were all googly-eyed about. When I turned around, there was a handsome boy with dark hair that was fixed perfectly. He smiled at me, revealing his pearly white teeth. I turned around and rolled my eyes at the girls who were staring at him.
All of a sudden, some girl barged in the room and ran up to the handsome boy. "Oh my gosh Beck, your hair looks even more perfect than it did last year! I didn't even know that was possible!" The girl started playing with his hair.
"Trina, are you even in this class?" Beck asked.
"Well... no. But I..." The teacher walked in and interrupted her. "Trina, I'm pretty sure you aren't in my class again this year." Trina stomped out of the room and slammed the door. "Sorry about that. Hello class. I am Mr. Bizwaki, but you can call me Mr. B." He had a very deep and intense voice. He sounded like a military Sargent.
I laid my head on my desk as Mr. B continued talking. History wasn't my favorite subject.
I felt a hand on my shoulder as a loud bell rang. "Caterina, you fell asleep." I looked up and saw the teacher standing above me.
"Oh, I'm sorry Mr. B! It won't happen again!"
"Since it's only the second day, I'll let you go." I stood up and headed to my next class, which was improv. I was really excited for improv! Tori told me that the teacher was really weird, but cool. I met Tori in the hallway and we walked to the class. We took our seats near the front of the room and began talking. I didn't really pay attention to what she was saying though. Instead my thoughts went back to Jade. Jeez, what powers did this girl have that made me so focussed on her? Maybe she's a unicorn... No, if a unicorn was disguised as a human, they would wear a lot of colors. I have really weird logic sometimes, but it all makes sense in my head.
I snapped out of my own little world when a man jumped through the window. "HELLO CLASS!" The man yelled. As I looked at him, I realized he wasn't wearing shoes. The top of his head was bald and he was holding a coconut. Tori leaned over and whispered to me. "That's Mr. Sikowitz."
I could tell this class was going to be very interesting. Suddenly, I felt a finger whipping my cheek. "You got some druel on your cheek." I turned and there was a boy with fluffy hair rubbing my face. Gosh, I must have drueled when I fell asleep in history. "My name is Robbie! And this is Rex!" I just now noticed the puppet in his hand.
"I'm Cat!" I smiled at him and he smiled back. I started to look around the classroom to avoid eye contact with the weird boy. He was really awkward. I giggled when I noticed a picture of ducks playing poker above the door. "What's so funny?" Tori asked.
"There's a picture of ducks playing poker! Haha!" She looked to where my finger was pointing.
"Oh, haha. I never noticed that."
I turned around more to see what else was in the room, but my eyes paused on someone who looked awfully familiar. She was looking down at her phone so I couldn't really see her face. I began to get a weird feeling in my tummy, but I ignored it and turned around.
This was the only class that I was actually paying attention to all day. "Alright, so we're going to have a little drive by acting excercise. Jade, come up here!" Sikowitz yelled. I jumped at the sound of her name. Jade walked up to the front of the class. "I want you to pick four people."
She sighed. "Okay, umm... I'll take, Robbie, Lucas, Andre, and... the redhead." She pointed to me and my stomach exploded with butterflies. Wait not just butterflies. It was more like an entire zoo.
I stood up and walked to the front of the room along with the other two people that jade called up. "What's your name freshmen?" Sikowitz asked.
"C-Cat." I stuttered.
"Okay, C-Cat! Jade please explain alphabet improv."
"UGH. It's when you have to say a sentence starting with the first letter of the alphabet. You look smart. I'm sure you'll catch on. And if you don't, well sucks for you." My happiness went down after Jade said that. She sounded so rude to me!
"What's that supposed to mean?" I yelped subconsciously.
"Sorry kid. I was just kidding."
"Alrighty then. Lucas, how about you start." Sikiowitz said.
"Okay. Umm..." Lucas started to say.
"YOU'RE OUT!" Sikowitz yelled.
"Wait, what?"
"You had to start with A! Okay starts with an O. Have a seat! Jade, show him how it's done."
"A massive storm is about to hit!" Jade yelled dramatically.
"Better get to shelter!" I said.
"Catching on I see." Jade smiled at me.
"Jade, try to stay in the storyline!" Sikowitz rudely butted in.
"Damn, that's a big cloud!" The boy named Andre said as he pointed to the sky.
"Forget the cloud, what about these strong winds?" Robbie said as he licked his finger and held it up.
"Get to shelter now!" Jade yelled and pushed us all in a corner.
"Ouch!" Robbie yelled.
"Robbie sit down!" Sikowitzs said. Robbie walked over and plumped his butt in the seat with his puppet.
"How is this going to protect us from the storm?" Andre questioned.
"If we stay low, maybe we'll be safe..." I said.
"Just how low are we supposed to get?" Jade asked.
"Kermit the frog would know what to do!" Andre randomly yelled.
"Andre, I'm not pleased with your answer. Have a seat." Andre gave Sikowiz an angry look, but then took his seat.
"Like I was saying before, we need to find a better shelter." I said, resuming the excercise.
"My neighbor has a lot of food in his house, should we go there for shelter?" Jade asked me.
"No, it may have food, but it's not sturdy"
"Oh. Well, then where could we possibly go?"
"Perhaps we could protect one another?" I was trying to find some excuse just to hold Jade.
"Quickly, get on my back! I'll lead us to safety!" Jade yelled and I hopped on her back. Wow, this was a really weird class. I burried my head into the back of Jade's neck. Her hair smelt like sweet vanilla.
"Run!"
"Sadly, this is as fast as I can go."
"Then, I guess we're stuck to die in this violent storm."
"OHHH, plot twist." Sikowitz whispered.
"Umbrella's would be very useful right now." She said, pretending that it had started raining.
"Very useful..." I added. This excercise seemed to be going on forever, I just wanted to get closer to her and then be done with this.
"What else do we have to use?"
Darn it! I got X. "Examples are each other." I tensed, knowing that my word started with an E. I looked over to Sikowitz and noticed he was too busy drinking coconut milk.
"You mean, like... this?" She put her arms around me and I blushed.
"Yeah..." I giggled.
"Jade wins!" Sikowitz was paying attention now.
I went and sat next to Tori who was giving me a confused look. "That was the weirdest alphabet improv I've seen. And trust me, I've seen a lot."
When the bell rang, I actually left the classroom with a smile on my face. I liked Jade. I liked her a lot. I was going to do something about it. I've got a plan for tomorrow. I smiled devilishly and went home preparing my plans for tomorrow.
A/N: Sorry it was a little long and sorry it's starting out kind of slow! It will get better along the way, I promise! Please review and tell me what you think! XOXO
