A/N: Hello, children. This is my new Victorious story. It is about why Jade hates Tori.

Disclaimer: Well, if I owned Victorious, there would be a lot more Rade moments. Coz I looooove Rade!

" Jade, why do you hate Tori?"

" Why can't you be nice to Tori?"

" Do you hate Tori because you're jealous?"

These were questions Jade was asked on a daily basis. Every student at Hollywood Arts knew of Jade's infamous hatred of Tori Vega. People mostly assumed it was because she was jealous of Tori, and her talent. But there was a completely different reason.

In elementary school, she knew Tori. They were best friends from 1st grade through to 6th grade. And Jade felt so disappointed when she met Tori at Hollywood Arts, but she didn't recognize her as the first best friend she'd had.

*FLASHBACK*

Tori Vega arrived in the playground at 8:30pm, which was quite early, even for her, who sometimes got to school before the gates were unlocked. She walked around the playground, looking for somewhere to sit for 15 minutes until the bell went. She didn't really have many friends. She had cried about it to her parents, but they assured her that she would find a special friend. It was only one week into the semester, anyway.

As she wandered around, she spotted a small girl, with nearly black hair sitting on a wall only a metre or so away from her. So, being the nice child she was at the time, she went over to see her.

"Hello! What's your name? I'm Tori Vega!" she said brightly.

"Jadelyn. Jadelyn West," she said, looking up at the strange, but cheerful girl that questioned her.

" Oh. Can I call you Jade? You seem like a Jade. Not that Jadelyn's a horrible name!" Tori said hastily, hoping that the Jade girl would be a friend to her.

" Yeah, sure. You wanna be friends?" Jade asked . She was hoping to at least have one person to tell her parents about after school.

"Of course I do! Do you want me to show you around the school before the bell goes off? We've only got 10 minutes until the bell goes off, but it's enough time to call you the girls' bathroom and the classroom and stuff!" Tori said excitedly, before dragging Jade by the hand around the school.

*END FLASHBACK*

Although Jade would never admit it, she wondered what her life would be like if Tori remembered who she was. And she wondered how she would forget the name of her first best friend. Oh well,, she would never know.

A/N: This is a random little one-shot I thought of while trying to write another story which I couldn't be bothered writing.I seem to have a habit of writing short stories and one-shots, so it's small.

Thanks for reading!
