Competition Is Everything
Disclaimer: I don't own Victorious
The classroom was filled with excitement. Mumbles and screams were filling the audience of students. Today was the day that they found out who got the lead in the school musical.
"I don't know why these people even came." Jade's cocky voice was at an all time high. "I know I got this audition nailed. I am totally gonna be Jasmine." This year's musical was written by the students. It's kind of like Mulan meets Aladin, but in a totally awesome way. Jasmine was the main character, she was a princess. She "coincidentally" meets this guy named Jesse in the woods one day. However, she doesn't know that he is some sort of assassin that was hired to kill her. She finds out about it later in the story and decides to get trained by some elite ninja guards that she hires so she can kill him first. Long-story-short she kills him in the end and learns to be like the lone wolf protecting other people. Yeah, the students all knew that it was corny and kind of lame, but the script was amazing.
"I don't know Jade," Cat's sweet, gentle, voice said. "I think the princess should be someone a little more childish." Jade gave Cat a glare. Cat hadn't seen Jade be this fierce in a long time. She could almost feel the lasers coming from Jade's eyes melt through her skin. "I mean she is kind of ditzy at first." Cat smiled and blinked prettily. Yes, it is true that you could call Jade a…strong…personality.
"Really?" Jade grinned devilishly. "Is that so? 'Cause she ends up killing a guy!" Jade snapped. "The person who plays Jasmine should have quite a back bone." Tori burst through the doors and flew to her friends. As it turns out all three of the girls had auditioned to be Jasmine.
"Has Sikowitz posted the list yet?" Tori asked. Tori had been getting quite a name for herself in school lately. She had, sort of, been a stunt double in a movie; she got into Hollywood Arts by being talented in the show case; and she was getting major parts in all of the musicals.
"I don't know why you even think you're going to be Jasmine." Jade hissed. Tori glared back at Jade. The two hadn't gotten along with each other for the longest time. The door blasted open as Sikowitz strolled into the classroom. Everyone in the room took a seat and waited for the results.
"Can I get a drum roll please?" The crazy teacher asked. All of the students started pounding their feet on the ground. Everyone had tried their very hardest to get a good role. Ever since the beginning of the school year the competition had been getting very heated. "I shall post the list on the wall." Sikowitz put up a paper on the wall. Everyone looked around at each other, trying to see why he had them do a drum roll. "I will tell you the leads once you look at the paper."People rushed over to the list. It read:

"What?" Cat asked in disbelief. "I was sure I was gonna be Jasmine." Andre strolled up behind Cat.
"Well then, who are you?" Andre asked. The small girl looked at her feet.
"I'm Tontooele, the grumpy fairy godmother." Cat complained. The red headed girl let her head hang. Cat walked back down towards Jade. Jade hugged her in comfort. "Good luck Jade." Cat whispered into her ear. This made Jade smiled. With Cat out of the way, Jade knew she was going to be Jasmine.
"Now for the leads." Sikowitz smiled. "The role of Jesse goes to Beck! His understudy will be Oliver. No was for Jasmine. The role of Jasmine goes to-," Tori and Jade were the only two that were left to be chosen. An eternity of silence went by. Jade bit her lip and Tori grinded her teeth. "Tori! So the understudy is Jade." Tori jumped up and shrieked a little bit. All of the students clapped. Jade couldn't help but fly out of her seat.
"What!" She screamed. "Sikowitz, come on! I was way better than her. If it wasn't me it should have been Cat! We were both way better!" There was a second of silence before Tori spoke.
"Jade, I got it because I was better than everyone." Tori said. Jade strutted right next to Tori.
"Yeah maybe like two or three people but not the whole class! I waited backstage to hear everyone sing, I know!" Jade exploded. She regained her calmness. "Ever since you got here you have been the lead in every musical. So that leaves me to take the understudy, and I haven't been on stage in over a year because I took backseat to you!" Tori backed away a few feet. Cat stepped on to the stage behind Jade.
"And I am kind of sick of being some other role." Cat quietly spoke. All of it was true, Cat always took some other role and Jade had always been the understudy.
"I call doing a three way battle between us." Jade said. "We all have to pick a song, the class votes and then whoever wins gets to be the role." Jade stated. "Does that sound good with you two?" The red head and brunette thought about it for a short period of time.
"I like it," Cat said. "I have wanted to have my chance to shine." That left Tori to decide She thought for another second and then smiled.
"I beat you once, I'll do it again!" The three grinned and they all thought one thing. It's on!
