"Hey ba-Vega" Jade beings before stopping herself.
"Yeah, hey Jade" Tori mutters, staring at her notebook. Jade places herself next to Tori - making sure to leave quite a gap.
"What did you say?" Beck asked, his eyes wide.
"Hey Vega"
"Yeah" Tori asks, not looking up from her notebook.
"Not talking to you" Jade pointed out, rolling her eyes.
"Well" Tori gasped. Tori didn't look up but instead carried on writing in her notebook.
"No" Beck said. "Before you said that you said something else" Jade glared at him.
"What are you talking about? I didn't say anything else"
"Guys, didn't Jade say something else before"
"Yep" Andre and Robbie said at the same time. Beck looked at Cat who said nothing.
"Cat, didn't Jade say something else before?" Beck asked.
Cat played with her hair and looked over and Jade who shook her head.
"Nope" Cat stated, smiling sweetly.
Cat stood up from her seat and sat down next to Jade. She nudged Jade in the ribs - causing her to move closer to Tori.
"CAT!" Jade shouted.
"Whatty?" Cat asked innocently.
"What are you doing?"
"Sitting by my bestest friend"
"And you really just had to nudge me into Vega?"
"Yep"
Jade rolled her eyes and looked over at Tori to see her still writing in her nootebook. Jade huffed and drummed her fingers on the table.
"Jade" Tori breathed staring at Jade. Jade stopped drumming her fingers.
"Thank you" Tori said, looking back at her notebook. Jade sighed loudly.
"Jade" Tori said, looking at her again. Jade sighed quietly.
"Thank you" Tori said. Jade began to hum under her breath.
Tori whipped her head round and stared at Jade.
"Jade, please" Tori whined.
"Sorry" Jade apologised. Jade sat in silence while the others chatted and Tori carried on writing in her notebook.
"Jadey..." Cat said.
"Don't call me that" Jade snapped, cutting Cat off. Cat squeaked and leaned into Andre in fear.
"Don't scare her" Tori said, placing her hand on Jades thigh. She moved her thumb in a circular notion; trying to cm Jade down.
"Don't tell me what to do" Jade snapped. Tori sighed.
"Why do you always act like this?" Tori asked. Jade looked at Tori who seemed to be paying more attention to whatever she was writing then Jade.
"Always act like what?" Jade snarled, clenching her fists. Tori carried on rubbin lazy circles with her thumb on Jades thigh.
"Like a Gank" Tori replied, still writing the the notebook. Jade tensed up.
"Oh" she growled, pushing Tori's hand off her lap. Jade sighed and Tori turned to face her.
"What'd I say?" Tori asked, putting her pen down and facing Jade.
"Seriously ba-Vega" Jade corrected yet again.
"See. There you go again" Beck stated, crossing his arms and looking at the two girls.
"Shut it Oliver" Jade snapped.
"Don't snap at him" Tori said.
"Quit telling me what to do"
"Quit being so obnoxious" Tori snapped.
"Oh" Jade breathed. Tori picked up her pen and started to write in her notebook. Jade turned towards Cat.
"One time my brother got his head stuck in -" Cat rambled.
"NO" Jade shrieked. Cat leaned into Andre and he put her arm around her shoulder.
"It's okay Lil' red" he hushed. Tori placed her hand on Jade's thigh and started to use her thumb to caress circles and try to calm her down, again.
"Jadey, calm down" Tori mumbled, writing in her notebook.
"Sorry"
"wh - Did - Wh" Beck stuttered.
"Cat got your tongue?" Jade smirked.
"I don't have his tongue" Cat stated, confused at Jade's comment. Jade rolled her eyes.
"Did Tori just call you 'Jadey'?" Andre asked.
"Don't call me that" Jade snapped. Andre grabbed his bag and jumped up.
"Erm... I'm gonna go..." Andre said, rushing off.
"She did call you 'Jadey' though" Robbie piped in.
"I swear, if someone calls me that one more time, I will take my scissors and shove them right up their -" Tori shoved her hand over Jade's mouth; cutting her off from finishing her sentance.
"You gonna calm down?" Tori asked. Jade nodded and Tori removed her hand from Jade's mouth.
"What you writing Tori?" Robbie asked.
"A song" Tori replied, not looking up from her notebook.
"Let me read it" Jade said, trying to take Tori's notebook off of the table.
"Nope" Tori said, slamming her notebook shut and shoving it in her bag.
"What?!" Jade shrieked. "Why can't I see?" Jade asked.
"I'm preforming it soon" Tori stated.
"When you preforming it?" Beck asked.
"Lunch time" Tori smiled. Just then the bell rang.
"Yay. The bells singing" Cat cheered, jumping up from her seat and running off.
"I'll see you guys later" Tori said.
"We've got Sikowitz though" Robbie said, confused.
"Yeah. I just gotta go and see Kris about my song first" Tori said. "I'll meet you guys in Sikowitz's" Tori said, walking in the opposite direction. The guys started to walk towards Sikowitz's classroom. Beck stopped walking and turned round to find Jade still standing where she had been before, watching Tori walk away.
"You coming?" Beck called over to Jade. Jade took a deep breath and turned around to face Beck.
"Yeah" she replied walking past him and towards Sikowitz's. Beck looked at Jade then towards Tori. He had no idea what is happening between them two but all he did know was that he is going to find out what's happening between them two.
"Either of you two seen Tori?" Jade asked Beck and Andre as they sat down at the table.
"Not since this morning" Beck answered, picking up his taco and taking a bite.
"I was with her and Kris all morning" Andre replied, shoving some fries in his mouth.
"Why were you guys with Kris all morning?" Jade asked.
"Helping Tori finish her song and rehearsing it with her" Andre replied casually. Jade was about to speak when Andre cut in. "Damn. I really have to go guys. Gotta be at the podium to preform" Andre said, rushing off.
"Hi hi" Cat cheered, sitting down next to Jade with Robbie in tow.
"Where's Andre rushing off to?" Robbie asked.
"Podium" Beck replied.
"He preforming?" Robbie asked.
"Yeah. Helping Tori preform, I think" Beck said. Robbie nodded and started talking to Cat. Jade sat there, listening to their conversation. Cat was yet again talking about something weird her brother done.
"So..." Beck started. Jade turned to look at him.
"What?" she asked.
"You like Tori" he stated, smirking.
"W-What?!" she stuttered. "Me and Vega? No way"
"Oh come on, give up the act" Beck smiled.
"What act?" Jade asked. "There is no act"
"Come on. You like her and you know it" By now Jade could feel Robbie and Cat looking at her. She could feel all three of their eyes staring at her.
"I do NOT like Vega" Jade screeched.
"But Jadey..." Cat started.
"NO!" Jade shouted, cutting Cat off.
"Just admit it" Beck said, leaning on his elbows with his hands supporting his chin.
"I am NOT admitting anything" Jade said.
"But you do like her?" Beck asked. Jade thought for a second.
"No. I do not like Vega"
"Yes you do" he cheered.
"Beck. Did you not just hear me? I said I do not -" Jade started.
"I know what you said" Beck started. Jade crossed her arms.
"Then why do you keep saying I like her?" Jade question, glaring at Beck. Beck sat up straight.
"Because you had to think about your answer. That means you do like her, or at least you had to think about it" Beck stated, smirking.
"No it doesn't" Jade stated.
"Yes it does"
"Get it into your head that I DO NOT like Vega"
"Shh" Cat shushed. "Tori's on" she squealed, looking up at the podium. Jade turned her body towards the podium an watched. So far her and Tori hiding their relationship wasn't going so well. They just had to work harder at hiding it. Jade couldn't remember why they decided to hide it, but they did and she respected their decision.
"Hey guys" Tori said into the microphone, a huge smile on her face. "This is a song I wrote for..." Tori started.
"For a special someone" Andre smirked. Tori playfully punched him in the arm.
"Dude" she exclaimed. The whole cafe errupted in laughter. Tori's face turned bright red.
"Let's just sing Chica" Andre said. The band behind started to play and Tori moved her hips to the music, getting lost in it.
Tori
I love the way you make me feel
I love it, I love it
I love the way you make me feel
I love it, I love it
Tori's eyes fell on Jade. She noticed a small smile tugging on the dark haired girl lips.
Andre (Tori)
Say, I'm thinking 'bout her every second, every hour
Do my singing in the shower
Picking petals off of flowers like
Do she love me, do she love me not? (love me not)
I ain't a player, I just...
Andre had spent the whole morning trying to work out who Tori had written the song about. Who had inspired her to write it? Who did she love that much that she had to tell the world? As far as Andre knew Tori was single. He had no idea she liked someone. This song made it sound more like she's dating someone - a girl in fact - and that she is absolutely head-over-heels in love with this girl.
Tori
You give me that kind of something
Want it all the time, need it everyday
On a scale of 1 to 10 I'm at 100
Never get enough, I can't stay away
Tori kept her eyes on Jade while still moving her hips to the beat. She could feel Andre's eyes on her but she was too lost in the song to care. She couldn't help the smile formed on her lips as she kept eye contact with Jade.
If you want it, I got it, I got it everyday
You can get whatever you need, from me
Stay by your side, I'll never leave you
I ain't going nowhere cause you're a keeper
Andre kept his eyes on Tori. He had no idea who the song was dedicated to. Who the hell was Tori Vega in love with? Why didn't she tell him she was dating someone and was in love with them? He was her best friend, doesn't he deserve to know things like this?
Tori (Andre)
So don't you worry, baby you got me
I got a bad one, I must admit it
You got my heart, don't know how you did it
And I don't care who sees it babe
I don't wanna hide the way I feel when you're next to me
I love the way (you make me feel)
I love the way (I love it, I love it)
Baby I love the way (you make me feel)
Oh, I love the way, the way I love you
Jade and Tori kept their eyes locked; neither of them wanting to ruin the special moment. Tori had been stressing all day about the song. A million question had ran through her head. Will she like it? Will she hate it? Will it scare her away? Will it bring them closer together? Will people know who it's written for? Will Jade and her relationship become public? But at this moment Tori forgot all of her worries and focused on preforming the song to the girl she loves.
Tori (Andre)
Oh, so crazy you get my heart jumping
When you put your lips on mine
And honey, it ain't a question (quick question)
Cause girl I know just what you like
So if you need it, I got it, I got it everyday
Be your lover, and friend, you'll find it all in me
Stay by your side, I'll never leave you
And I ain't going nowhere cause you're a keeper
Tori (Andre)
So don't you worry, baby you got me
I got a bad one, I must admit it
You got my heart, don't know how you did it
And I don't care who sees it babe
I don't wanna hide the way I feel when you're next to me
I love the way (you make me feel)
I love the way (I love it, I love it)
Baby I love the way (you make me feel)
Oh, I love the way, the way I love you
Andre couldn't work out who the song was about. No matter how hard he tried to work it out he couldn't. All he knew was that it was about a girl. Tori loved a girl and he was okay with that. In no way at all was he homophobic. Not only was Tori, his best friend, declaring her love in front of the whole school but she was also coming out as liking girls. He doesn't even think she realises that part.
Andre
Uh, I make you feel so fine, make you feel so fine
I hope you hit me on my celly when I sneak in your mind
You a princess to the public, but a freak when it's time
Said your bed be feeling lonely,
So you're sleeping in mine
Come and watch a movie with me,
American Beauty or Bruce Almighty, that's groovy,
Just come and move closer to me
I got some feelings for you,
I'm not gonna get bored of
But baby you an adventure so please let me come and explore you
Andre knew that whoever this girl is, they must be pretty special to Tori. Whoever it is he'll support Tori. He also knew that Tori was definitely in a relationship with this girl and probably has been for a while. The way she was talking about their relationship he knew it was definitely serious.
Tori (Andre)
So don't you worry, baby you got me
I got a bad one, I must admit it
You got my heart, don't know how you did it
And I don't care who sees it babe
I don't wanna hide the way I feel when you're next to me
I love the way (you make me feel) (I love the way)
Jade and Tori kept their eyes on each other; neither of them looking away once. Little did either girl know that Beck and Andre had both noticed this. Both boys noticed the way the girl were staring and smiling. It would take an idiot to not know what was going on. It was a love song. Tori loved a girl and had dedicated the song to 'someone special'. Neither girl could keep their eyes off of each other and they both had a huge smile plastered on their faces. You do the maths.
I love the way (I love the way)
Baby I love the way (I love the way)
Oh, I love the way (I love it)
I love the way (you make me feel)
I love the way (I love it)
Baby I love the way (you make me feel)
Oh, I love the way, the way I love you
The way I love you, you, you, yeah, the way
I love the way you make me feel
I love it, I love it
I love the way you make me feel
I love it, the way I love you!
When the music stopped and the preformance was over the crowd cheered. Tori stopped staring at Jade and turned to Andre. He had a huge smile on his face and opened his arms towards his best friend. She opened her arms and hugged him tightly.
"You really love her, dont you?" Andre whisped into Tori ear. He felt Tori tense up and pull away from him.
"W-What are you talking about?" She stuttered, looking nervous.
"You love Jade" Andre stated, looking Tori in the eye.
"Wh-Why would you say that?" she asked nervously again.
"Come on Tor. You was basically undressing each other with your eyes during that preformance. You never took your eyes off her once" Tori played with her fingers while keeping her eyes on the ground. "Come on Tori, you can't deny it. Why didn't you just tell me you two were dating?"
"I was scared. We didn't want people to judge us just because we're both girls" Tori revealed. Andre walked forward and hugged her. She layed her head in his chest and sighed. "I'm sorry" she whispered.
"How long?"
"4 months" Andre pulled back from the hug and placed his hands on her shoulders. He looked her in the eyes.
"Four months" he said astonished.
"Yeah" she smiled shyly.
"I'm happy for you Tor. As long as she makes you happy I'll support you"
"Thanks. We better be getting back to the others" Tori said, walking down the podium stairs. Andre followed behind her.
"When you gonna tell the others?" Andre asked, walking behind her. Tori came to a halt and turned around to face Andre.
"I'm not" she said, no emotion in her voice or displayed on her face.
"What do you mean you're not going to tell everyone?" Andre asked, slightly confused.
"I'm not telling everyone" Tori stated.
"What? Why?"
"Can you just leave it?"
"Tori"
"Andre, please..."
"Fine" Andre said, walking off towards the table where all their friends were.
"Oh my gosh Tori. That was great" Cat cheered, pulling the young brunette to sit between Jade and her. Tori felt Jade place her hand on her thigh. A small smile found its way onto Toris face.
"So. Who's the lucky girl?" Beck asked.
"What are you talking about?" Tori asked.
"Yeah. Who wants to date Vega?" Jade smirked.
"Hey"
"I love you really" A smile formed on Jade's lips. A silence surrounded the table - not a sound could be heard from any of them.
"What did you say?" Tori asked astonished. Silence surrounded the table once more. Jade's facial expression changed from a look of love and happiness to a look of shock and horror. She leaped up from the chair and stormed off - not even looking over her shoulder once. Tori jumped up automatically.. She leapt into action and chased after Jade.
"Jade. Wait up" Tori shouted.
"They are so dating" Beck smirked. A series of "Totally", "Yep" and "Yuperooni" filled the table.
