Author's Note: This is my second Victorious story; a story which contains plot mechanics similar to a previous fanfic of mine "The Prince and the Warrior".
Upon her arrival to Hollywood Arts, Tori Vega becomes friends with an actress named Jade West, all of the anger, love; betrayal and angst that happen along the way are documented here through blog entries, letters, diary entries and more (these entries will be encased in quotations).
The plot may be difficult to follow at times, please feel free to PM me at any time you don't understand something.
For now though, just relax and enjoy!
Down To My Last
Chapter One: Welcome To Hollywood Arts
"Tori Vega: Just landed a place at Hollywood Arts after filling in for my sister in The Big Showcase, I'm kind of anxious to meet the other aspiring actors and actresses. MOOD: EXCITED"
Tori turned off her cell phone and sighed at the sound of the bell. She had been enrolled at Hollywood Arts for three days and nobody had yet to introduce themselves, which made Tori feel lonely and unwanted.
Tori was about to lose all hope of having contact with another human at the school when the Gothic, mysterious girl sitting next to her spoke.
"You're Tori Vega right? I'm Jade West; I enjoyed your performance in The Big Showcase."
Tori snapped out of her daze, "Are you talking to me?" The other girl nodded, "Yeah, why are you so surprised?" Tori sat up in disbelief that she was participating in a conversation, "Quite surprised actually, nice to meet you Jade."
Mr. Sikowitz, the acting teacher for the dozen or so students, appeared abruptly in front of Tori's desk, "Miss Vega is there something you wish to say to the class?" Tori replied with a simple "No sir" and the teacher continued speaking, "Your next exercise… a performance piece of your choice, you have one week."
Tori froze, "Uh, excuse me Mr. Sikowitz, may we work with someone on our piece?" The teacher looked at the trembling teenager, "Collaborations are not required but is encouraged."
Great Tori thought; she looked next to her, "Hey Jade, wanna work together on this performance, we could do a portrayal of each other's lives, it'll give us a chance to get to know each other."
Jade eyed Tori with terror, "Tori, I'm really not much of a team player. I'm antisocial, plus I prefer to work alone." There was a soft tenderness in Tori's eyes that seemed to pierce Jade's untouchable heart and she gave in, "Okay. Meet me in my room after class; we have a lot of work ahead of us," Jade smiled despite her outlook of pain and misery, "Oh and, by the way, welcome to Hollywood Arts."
Author's Note: Okay that's the end of the first chapter in which Tori meets Jade. As you can see, I'm steering clear of the hatred between the two that is shown in the show (don't worry, I promise I'll use that hate later, for any of you who like to see those two fighting). Also, I know this story will step outside of what us Victorious fans know from the show's conventions but they don't call it fanfiction for nothing. Please read and give me your most honest feedback. Also don't be afraid to tell me what you'd like to see happen during the course of this story.
Later for now.- FEARLESS MASTER
