Disclaimer: I don't own Victorious. Because really, if I did, why the hell would I be on fanfiction? Whatever. Enjoy, I guess.
Chapter 1
He startles awake in his bed, as the last remnants of a curvaceous brunette fade from his mind. He shakes his head as he sits up and decides not to dwell on his dreams. Dreams are meaningless, right? Yeah. Just a place for your subconscious to do whatever the hell it wanted. You had no control over it. Yeah. That sounds right. He starts getting ready for school about an hour earlier than he needs to, because, sleep is futile at this point. He doesn't need her in his head anymore. (Even though he knows she's stuck in his conscious mind just as much as his subconscious mind.) But he won't admit that.
He's just going through the motions all day, tired as hell, until he gets to Sikowitz's class. Apparently, they're to act out scenes in random groups of four. He sits up a little farther in his chair, suddenly not so tired, and looks around. His eyes fall on her. Tori Vega. She's whispering something to Cat, no doubt securing their partnership, and they nod and then she looks around for others to be in their group and then suddenly she's looking at him and his mind just goes blank.
He's about to open his mouth to mouth something, a 'yes!' even, because dude… she wants him in her group, but then she flicks her eyes to Jade next to him and then she moves on. He doesn't know why he feels a surge of disappointment and embarrassment or why he doesn't want to look at Tori or Jade or anyone all of a sudden, so he settles for having an intense staring contest with his scuffed boots.
Sikowitz announces that he would be picking the groups, so "don't get too excited."
Yeah, Beck, he scolds himself. Don't get too excited.
He doesn't get to be in her group, but he's not in a group with Jade either, so whatever, it's cool. He's with three people he sees around school but he doesn't really know them all that well, so he acts out his lines a little stiffly because all of a sudden he's so over this scene and this class and this school and he knows he's just bitter and dramatic but she blatantly did not want to be with him, because she looked away! The rational part of his mind reasons that she probably knew Jade would flip her lid and pull the possessive card out if Tori were to choose him, but whatever. Rationality only gets you so far.
Finally, his scene is over and done with and he gets to sit down. He guesses the other members in his group did well enough to distract from the fact that he really didn't give a shit. Sikowitz calls the next few groups up and he doesn't pay attention. Not until he hears her name being called followed by two other people and then Jade. Interesting.
They make their way onstage, and Tori turns her back to everyone for a sec, looks over her lines, and then bends over to place her script on the ground, as instructed. She probably didn't even notice that she was giving the whole class a nice view of her ass, but hey, he wasn't complaining. His eyebrows shoot up, and suddenly he's so interested in this scene. In fact he's so interested, he doesn't even notice half the guys in the audience doing the same thing, or Jade shooting daggers at him from stage left.
He supposes he should feel guilty for looking at her like that, but hey, he's only human. A teenaged, hormonal human with a bitchasaurus of a girlfriend who likes to withhold anything even remotely sexual. He cringes for a minute on the word girlfriend. There was that. He tries to keep his focus back on his pale, dark-haired girlfriend in question acting out her lines with just a little bit too much fakeness. But he can't keep his eyes off of her. The girl plaguing his dreams every night. The one with the sunkissed skin and the beautiful mahogany hair and the mesmerizing amber eyes… No. He shakes his head clear from those thoughts as he shifts his focus to someone else onstage. She isn't mesmerizing. Brown hair, plain brown eyes. Like half of the rest of the world's population. Yeah, there is absolutely nothing remarkable about Victoria Vega.
But as his eyes are once again drawn towards her when she puts a particularly loud emphasis on a line, she locks eyes with him for just a split second, and Beck knows he is just lying to himself.
So there you have it folks. Chapter one. I am definitely going to have the next one out very soon, later today for sure. (It's four-thirty in the morning and I'm pretty much a zombie at this point, so if there are a shit ton of errors, I deeply apologize. I tried to catch them all. Heh, Pokemon. .) Annnnyywayys, I'm not too sure where this is headed, so we'll have to see. Goodnight. :)
