So I really am not going to intend for this to be a big hit, or really any hit…I am just writing this out of creativity and for fun!
We all know that Alex Steele is coming back to Degrassi :-D Yes I am indeed excited by this…I know lots of people are not happy that she's not returning as Angela Jeremiah, but I could really care less about that. I'm just excited she's returning to the show period :-) I also can't wait for her character!
But any ways, I don't know why, but I really want to put her with Jake Martin…now I know this may sound like a very strange couple, but I just got so many ideas out of putting them together based off of Tori's character description, and based off of what we know about Jake so far. I think maybe after reading this you might understand and like it, but if not oh well! Like I said I'm just writing this for fun :-)
Also some of this was inspired after writing, "Fall Promo." (which btw I am no longer going to continue!)
If you like it great! If not, oh well I'll probably keep going either way ;-) Enjoy!
Tori's POV
"Wait you have dated how many guys?" Maya asked as we were sitting at the Dot.
"Only like 14. No big deal really." I sighed and sipped my coffee.
Maya's jaw dropped to the ground. "No big deal? That's almost more than your age!"
"I mean of course it is, but absolutely none of them were ever that serious. I'd say about 10 of them lasted no more than a week or two. While the others were just set ups from my parents. Them only lasting a day or two."
"Your still so lucky!" Maya smiled.
I smiled back, but said nothing.
XXXXXXXX
I don't think people really do understand me. On the outside I am this selfish pageant queen who doesn't take no as an answer, but after talking to Maya about my dating history, somehow my inner inside really did show. I really do want to find just one guy. I don't understand anything about love, or what a real relationship is supposed to be like. I want that, but a girl like me really doesn't deserve to have that. Not sure if it is meant to be.
My thoughts were interrupted when Ms. Oh called me.
"Tori!" She called sternly.
I jumped slightly. "Huh, what?"
Ms. Oh sighed. "Look beauty queen, I know this isn't exactly your cup of tea but you need to stop day dreaming and listen up!"
I rolled my eyes.
Stupid Tristan sitting next to me reached over and moved my brown curls off to the side. "Dreaming about us again gorgeous?" He smirked and raised an eye brow.
I shoved his hand off me, and gave him a weird look. "Uh not in my dreams, and hopefully not in yours either."
The bell rang and class was dismissed. I got up and as I was leaving the room, I felt an arm wrap around my shoulder. Tristan.
I rolled my eyes and tried to walk away from him, but Tristan had a good grip on me. "I know you're pretty much the bitch of the niners, but I go for that, if ya know what I mean?"
I turned around and faced him raising an eyebrow. "Get away from me. I don't like guys like you."
Tristan released me from his embrace, but then pushed me from the back, causing me to fall forward.
"Bitches like you don't deserve guys at all." He called out and walked away. I sighed, but suddenly realized I wasn't on the ground. Someone caught me.
"You ok?"
"Yeah, yeah I'm…" I looked up and saw it was a tall senior boy who caught me. Wow he is cute. He had dirty blonde hair, and the most beautiful hazel eyes I've ever seen. My eyes widened and I just smiled at him.
He smiled back and helped me up on my feet.
"Thank you."
He patted my back as if we were just friends and smiled. "Anytime." He started to take off, but I grabbed his wrist, he stopped and looked at me in confusion.
"I'll see you around?" I asked nervously.
He nodded, and replied, "Of course." He then walked off.
Wow. AM I BLUSHING? What is going on here?
I don't think I have ever felt this feeling before. I kind of like it.

Jake's POV
So far this summer has been very laid back for me. I am ready for senior year! So ready! Unfortunately home life right now is mostly dreading. Yeah me and Clare living in the same home together is more than hard. Well honestly on my part, I am over Clare. I never really did love her. I didn't say that to her. Eli somehow made that part up, and I just went with it. I couldn't have said no it's not true Clare, I don't love you. That would hurt her.
I can see in Clare's eyes that she is not at all over Eli. I feel really wrong acting as a rebound with her, but that's mostly on her. Sure we had a great time together but to me family does come first and I had to end it before things got worse.
Let's just say Clare is very confusing right now. We can be civil with each other, but at times it's still awkward for the both of us living together, going from a couple to siblings. Oh well I guess we will just have to deal with it. I'm at least acting the most mature about it.
I looked down at my wrist and saw a pearl beaded bracelet. Wait? How did this get on…? Wow she's sneaky. I have to admit, she was adorable. Her long curly brunette locks, and not to mention her beautiful brown eyes. Hold up? Am I falling for a grade niner? Oh shit I think I am. This is really wrong. I can't like someone of her age. She to me is just a cutie who wants attention. Well attention or not I have to get her bracelet back to her.
As I was walking down the school hall heading out to leave I was followed by three little niner boys. I turned around and gave them a look of annoyance.
"May I help you?" I asked annoyed.
"Wow man, she gave you her bracelet?" One of them asked in a shocked tone.
I raised my eyebrow. "I guess, if by she you mean niner with long curly brunette hair?"
The grade nine boy smiled. "Indeed I do. Tori Hilson isn't easy to impress. Good work, mind sharing your secret?"
I backed away from the annoying grade niners and headed to my truck. "I don't know just please go away." With that I got into my truck, and pulled out of Degrassi.
XXXXXXXXXX
That evening
Tori's POV
Why can't I stop thinking about him? HIM! I don't even know his name. I sighed.
I am currently home alone just browsing on my laptop. Parents of course are out on business.
I saw my Facerange blink. I clicked and saw that I had a friend request. Some guy named Jake Martin? I clicked on the name and his profile came up. I looked at the picture. My eyes widened.
"OH MY GOD THAT'S HIM!" I shouted.
I smiled wide and clicked "accept friend request"
How did Jake know my name? I can't believe he really added me!
I looked back at my home page and saw a chat pop up. It was Jake!
Jake: "Hey Tori :)"
I instantly got butterflies.
Tori: "Well hello stalker ;) who I don't believe I have formally met."
Jake: "Haha well this stalker you speak of has a pearl bracelet, which looks to be yours."
HA! I knew that would work!
Tori: "What can I say, it slipped off ;)"
Jake: "Rightt. How about we meet before school tomorrow at the Dot?"
Is he asking me out? Holy shit I think he is!
Tori: "Sure :) say 7:30?"
Jake: "It's a date!"
My blush suddenly grew on my face, reading those words from Jake.
Tori: "I'll see you then ;)"
Jake: "Can't wait :)"
With that I logged off of Facerange, and just sunk into my bed. Wow I just got asked out by a senior. I have never felt this feeling I am getting right now.
XXXXXX
Next morning
Jake's POV
I have to admit Tori seems very adorable from talking to her last night. But I have a feeling she thinks that this is going to be a "date." Well I am not intending on it to be a date at all. I one just wanted to give her bracelet back, and two well truth is I do kind of like her, but really I just in a I want to get to know you kind of way.
"Jake, have you seen Clare this morning?" Helen asked me as I was getting my keys.
Come to think of it I don't recall seeing her home even last night. Hmmm. But I had to cover for her. "Uh you know I think she left early." I paused.
Helen gave me a confused look but then shrugged it off. "Oh well. She never seems to be home. Not that I should care after the way she's been treating us." Helen grabbed her keys and stormed off. "Have a nice day dear." She said.
I sighed. There's just too much drama going on with Clare. I think its best I just shrug it off, and at least do what's best for me.
I grabbed my keys and school bag, and headed to my truck. As I got in my truck I reached into my cup holder and held up the lovely pearl bracelet. Here goes.
END OF CHAPTER 1
Now did you guys see that? I definitely put a second plot in this. ;-) I really didn't think of it, until I started typing out Jakes POV. I figured putting a second plot could perhaps make this VERY interesting. Right now it might be confusing. Your all probably thinking, "Jake and Tori? Bad couple." Or "Wait now Clare is missing? I'm so confused." It's only chapter one! I promise chapter two will clear more tings out! Like I said earlier I just wrote this for fun and figured I'd share it for the heck of it! Reviews would be great ;-)
