Tori's POV:
I walked into Hollywood Arts with a lukewarm coffee in my left hand, and my purse in my right hand. My backpack almost felt like it was going to tip me over backwards... I had eight classes:
Advanced Biology, English, Geometry, Public Speaking, Spanish II, P.E. (not really a class), Drama, and Home Economics. My backpack contained all the folders, notebooks, pencils, homework,
and all the other utencils needed for all these classes (Yes, our P.E. teacher makes us use folders and do homework). I saw Beck sitting near his locker, talking to his long-time girlfriend,
Jade. I hoped they would end their relationship as soon as Jade saw me; I thought she was jealous of me. But, I guess I was wrong. I overheard their conversation as I walked to my locker.
"So, who is this girl I see your constantly texting?" Jade asked.
"Jade..." Beck's voice trailed off.
"I'm serious, Beck! It's like everytime you're stupid phone-" Jade was interrupted by Beck's phone vibrating.
Beck unlocked his touch screen phone, and saw he had a text. It read:
From: Amanda L.
Beck tapped the "View" button. The message read:
Heyy:) Where are you?
Jade immediately snatched the phone away from him as soon as she caught him smiling at the text. She read it, and was instantly infuriated. Her face turned red and she began tearing up.
"Are you dating her?" Jade asked, suddenly standing.
Beck rolled his eyes and ignored the question.
"You know what? Forget it." Jade said, grabbing her backpack and walking away to the bathrooms.
I stood by the end of the wall where my locker section was, and I saw Jade walking away from Beck with tears in her eyes. Though I may have been eavesdropping, I pretended like I never
heard it. I walked up to Beck, who had his head up against his locker, obviously angry.
"Hey! What's up?" I said, pretending that I never heard the conversation.
"Look, I have to go to class. I'm going to be late." Beck replied, standing up and walking away.
I walked into my first class: Biology with Mrs. Kym Heilstein. She was a pretty tough teacher, so we called her 'Mrs. Hellstein'. But of course, she never found out. I got my green folder out
and the current homework discussion: Lab reports on our own creative science expirements, demonstrating the power of energy. Forty-five minutes later I was out of Biology and into
English... yay. I quickly grabbed out my PearPhone to update my status on TheSlap. I unlocked my phone and saw that I had a new message from Beck. It read:
Hey.
I replied:
