It was lunchtime at Hollywood Arts High School and the students were walking freely around the school grounds with their lunches, enjoying the warm Los Angeles sun. Outside in the Asphalt Cafe, Robbie Shapiro and his girlfriend Cat Valentine were sitting at a table by themselves with their food from the Grub Truck. Their hands were joined as they sat closely together on the blue bench.
After the disaster in San Diego, the two of them had talked for hours and had decided on becoming a couple once they realised their mutual feelings for each other. Now, they had officially been dating for three weeks and two days.
Cat giggled as Robbie fed her another french fry, "You're silly," she laughed, nudging his shoulder with hers. He chuckled and shook his head, looking down at her through his thick framed glasses. Both of them looked over as two people approached their table; Beck Oliver and his girlfriend Jade West.
Despite breaking up about a month earlier, when they had arrived back in LA from San Diego, Beck and Jade also spent hours talking in Beck's RV and realised that they needed each other. Now, they were stronger than ever and rarely left each other's sides.
"Hey guys," Robbie greeted them as they sat down on the opposite side of the table with their lunches.
"Hey," Jade smiled, dumping her bag beneath the table as Beck wrapped his arm around her waist, holding her tightly to him.
"Where are Tori and Andre?" Cat asked, looking around for them.
"They're just coming, Tori was at her locker," Beck said, taking a bite of his pizza.
Sure enough, Tori and Andre came out of the school and crossed the Asphalt Cafe to where their friends were sitting. They too were now a couple. After hanging out one day after school, they realised that they liked each other and decided to give dating a shot. It was working out pretty well so far.
They walked over to the table and sat down beside their friends, "Hey, have you heard about the new substitute teacher?" Tori asked as she opened her lunch. They shook their heads, not knowing what she was talking about.
"There's a new substitute teacher for screenwriting," Andre explained.
"What happened to Mr Fisher?" Cat asked.
Andre shrugged, "I'm not sure, something about a nervous breakdown," he said.
Cat sighed and pouted, "I liked him."
"Me too, but apparently this new guy is like... a real screenwriter for movies and stuff," Tori said, raising an eyebrow.
"Impressive," Beck commented. He turned to Jade and frowned as he found her turned away, looking over her shoulder behind her. "What's up?" he whispered, leaning into her.
Jade turned back to him and shook her head, "Nothing, I just had a weird feeling that someone was watching me," she told him, looking over her shoulder once more before turning away to face Beck again, who frowned and squeezed her waist as he kissed her cheek, making her smile softly.
After lunch, the gang headed inside the school to their screenwriting class, eager to see who the new substitute teacher was. They entered the classroom and took their seats at the back of the class. As they took out their books, the door opened and Helen walked in.
"Hello everybody, I'm just here to introduce you to your new subsitute teacher, Mr Wells. He will be filling in for Mr Fisher who is... otherwise occupied..." she trailed off and raised her eyebrows, "But anyway, Mr Wells is a screenwriter, so I'm sure he'll be just as good," she smiled as the door opened again and a man, Mr Wells, entered the room. He smiled at Helen as she left and dumped his briefcase on the desk.
At the back of the class, Jade squinted and sat forward in her seat to get a better look at Mr Wells. Something seemed... so familiar about him, but she couldn't figure out why. Her eyes searched his face, but she couldn't understand why he felt so familiar.
Beck noticed her leaning forward and he nudged her, "Are you okay?" he asked.
Jade's eyes lingered on Mr Wells for a second longer before she turned to Beck, "Yeah... fine," she whispered, smiling at him before turning back to the front of the class. Beck didn't buy it, but he decided not to push her.
On the other side of the class, Cat was thinking the exact same thing as Jade, but she couldn't pinpoint why.
Throughout the class, Cat and Jade paid no attention to what Mr Wells was saying, but instead tried to think if they had seen him before. By the end of the class, they were unsuccessful and decided that maybe he just had one of those faces that are just familiar for no reason.
As they walked out of the classroom, Cat caught up with Jade and grabbed her arm, "Jade, did you notice anything about Mr Wells?" she asked as they walked to their lockers.
Jade nodded, "Yes! You did too?"
"Yeah, I don't know what it is though," Cat sighed, frowning to herself.
"It's probably nothing," Jade said, trying to brush off the weird feeling she had.
Later that night, Jade was driving to Beck's RV. It was getting dark outside and as much as she loved driving at night, Jade still felt a little uneasy from earlier on at school. She looked into her rearview mirror and frowned as she noticed that the same van had been following her for the past ten minutes. She swallowed hard and turned into Beck's street, driving a little faster.
She pulled up outside of Beck's parent's house and smiled as she found the familiar RV parked in the driveway with the lights on. She climbed out of her car and locked it, but as she walked over to the RV, she started to get the feeling that someone was watching her... again.
Jade spun around and her eyes searched the surroundings, but found nothing there. She frowned and quickly walked up to the door of the RV and knocked loudly, looking over her shoulder suspiciously as she waited.
The door opened and Beck appeared, smiling down at her, but then frowned as she rushed inside. He closed the door behind her and locked it, knowing that she would probably spend the night.
"What's wrong?" he asked, taking in her shaky demeanour as she stood by the end of his bed.
Jade sighed and ran a hand through her hair, "I don't even know," she answered shakily, "I just... Ever since we got back from San Diego, I've felt uneasy and scared and-"
Beck cut her off by pressing his lips to hers and holding her tightly around the waist. She melted against him and managed to relax.
"I don't blame you for feeling like that, especially after what happened there. But you're safe, you don't need to worry," he whispered, resting his forehead against hers.
She smiled softly, "I guess you're right," she breathed, pecking his lips.
Maybe she was just being paranoid.
