I was asked to write another JORI… really had no intention of doing that at all. But I had the song "Like a Boy" stuck in my head all weekend. Then I remembered that one Amanda Bines movie… couldn't tell you the name because I don't remember. So I changed H.A. into a boarding school in the middle of LA, and Jade's brother is her twin. So I am pretty much completely AU on this. But then again so is my other JORI story.
Al right, there is no Tori in this chapter, I am not so sure I will go to her POV I really like Jade's POV. But do you know what I would like? I would like for you to review! Don't be shy!
Tell me what you really think! – S. K.
If I were a boy
I got the letter today… not Accepted. This is Crap. I wanted to go to Hollywood Arts forever and I, get rejected. I was talented! Why was I rejected? My twin brother stomped past my room and he slammed his door.
I furrowed my brows and headed across the hall to his room. "Jaden?" I called out sticking my head into the room.
"This is bull shit!" he mumbled, "I can't believe I got accepted to that stupid Arts high school you wanted to go to."
"You what?" I screamed.
"Jade, what's up?" He said as he came up to me and put his hands on my shoulders. "Thought you'd be happy to go to the same boarding school with me."
"I didn't get in! " I said throwing myself on his bed.
"Christ Jaded" He said sitting next to me. "You have way more talent."
"Tell me about it."
"Can I see the letter?" He asked and I stood.
He followed me to my room and I handed him the letter. "This doesn't make sense." I sighed sitting in my armchair.
"Dude… you were waitlisted, there are too many girls enrolled."
"That's still NOT ACCEPTED." I said
He sighed. "Well I guess I am off to H.A. without you." Then his face took on an exciting turn. What was he thinking.?
"Jaden… what are you thinking?"
"You can go as me… I want to stay here as long as possible."
I raised a brow. "I can think of at least three things that might give it away I retorted.
"Jaded you are an actress… if Glenn close pulled it off you can." He stated and I looked at myself in the mirror. I was so… girly. There was no way, "look do you want to go to Hollywood Arts or what?"
I nodded and we set to work. "Mom and dad don't talk to each other, so the fact that you are not the one that got accepted to Hollywood arts, should be simple." He said, as he started to get some things together for me. My brother was my best friend other than Cat. Oh Cat… she had tried out too. She had the most beautiful singing voice. I wondered if she was going to Hollywood Arts.
My phone rang; speak of the devil, my friend cat was on the phone. I answered and I heard her screaming into the line. "Cat, cat, cat… YOURE KILLING ME!"
"Oh… sorry." She said calming down. "Are you coming?"
"You got accepted?" I asked
"Yes! I almost got wait listed, but someone dropped out of the program at the last minute."
I groaned, "Kitten, please tone it down a little."
"What's wrong? Are you not coming?"
"Oh I'm Coming, Jaden got accepted, and I'm taking his place."
"Oh wow… and experiment!" I could hear her wheels turning. "I'm gonna be someone else just to see how long I can pull it off too!"
"Whatever Cat… just come over with your make-up kit show me how to look like a boy."
I looked at myself in the mirror once cat was done. I looked just like Jaden, except three inches shorter, and my face was softer. Cat had use a little prosthesis to sculpt my face a little like Jaden, but there was still plenty of me that shines through the mask. Cat is magic.
"Hollywood Arts is having a party tonight… you wanna wanna?" Cat asked.
I smiled, "Hell yeah… Jaden come with! I said, I'd be your wing man."
He laughed. "Nah, I wanna hang out here with Holly." His girlfriend was lecherous, now I knew why he wanted to hang out here instead of moving to H.A. So I guess I should be grateful but I hated the wench.
I rolled my eyes, "Later." I said and walked downstairs with Cat.
"Jaden, where are you off to?" Mom said it stopped me in my tracks. I looked at her I was about to speak, but Cat spoke for me.
"We're going to meet Jade at a Hollywood Arts party."
"Well alright," Mom said without so much as looking at me. She seemed a little ticked. "If your sister ever bothered to tell me where she was going, this wouldn't be happening." She mumbled under her breath. I couldn't wait to be at H.A. and out fo her hair.
Cat and I ran out of the house. We got in her brother's car and she drove it to the party expertly. I couldn't wait to get my license. We would be in so much trouble if we got pulled over because neither of us were supposed to drive. See how alert my mother is about what we do. We just drove off in a car without licenses… I sighed and got out of the car. It was show time.
I tried to walk like boys did and I came into the party. I stood off to the corner and watched Cat be the social butterfly that she is. Then this guy sat next to me. He had this perfect hair and chocolate eyes. I was staring, I know I was but he was really hot! "may I help you dude?" he asked. I blinked
"Sorry Dude… It's just your hair… man how did you get it so perfect?" I tried to play it off.
He laughed, "Your hair isn't so bad either." I looked up at my slanted bangs and just kind of flipped them out of my eyes. Then I blushed and looked away. "Damn… look at her!" he said under his breath, and I followed his line of sight. I saw legs and cheekbones. The kids in Hollywood Arts are so hot!
I so fit in… I am so hot… as a girl. I sighed "Too bad she's taken." I mumbled to him. She looked too nervous standing alone by the doorway. She was looking for someone.
"How do you know?" He asked me.
"Body language, " I answered I leaned back and spread my legs like a dude. Then sure as I was a girl, this really tall handsome dude came up to Legs and cheekbones and kissed her. "See."
"Oh so you can read body language?" Dude asked.
"I'm a girl watcher." I answered
"So like you could pick the right girl to hit on?" He asked
"Pretty much…" I answered with a smirk.
"Contest?" He asked me. "Who can get the most girls to kiss him tonight."
I blushed… "Look hair… "
"Beck." He interrupted.
"Whatever, that is the dumbest contest ever." I finished my sentence.
"You scared?" he asked.
"I could get Legs and cheekbones with handsome dude to kiss me. I am not scared."
"Then if you can get her to kiss you , without big guy pounding you into the ground I'd say you were the winner." I smiled, I was never one to back down on a challenge. Besides, Jaden's reputation was hanging I the balance.
"You're on." I pointed Cat out to him, "Get her then." I shot cat a quick text message telling her that I really liked this dude and I didn't want him to know I was pretending to be Jaden but I wanted Jade to meet him soon. "If I win, you go out on a date with my sister."
He raised his brow. "Is she a dog or something?" I pulled out my phone and showed him a picture of me. "Damn… You win."
I laughed. "She's bi, she might need a little convincing from you. That red head is her girlfriend. She's not bi, but she's not gay either, my sister is that good. "
"Does she go to this school?" He asked. I shook my head.
"Not yet."
"If I win, I get a threesome with her and her girlfriend." He said leering at my picture. Oh he's a little pig.
"Good luck with that." I said shaking his hand.
Then I stood up and walked over to a bored looking girl next to legs and cheekbones. "Hey… I'm Jaden."
"Trina, This is my sister Tori." Sisters, I never would have guessed. I looked at both of them. Trina was cute, but not as cute as her sister.
"How you doin'?" I said looking at Tori closely. She was with that dude, but he was busy doing what? I found him talking with this other girl in the corner, hidden from Tori's view. "Where's your boyfriend?"
"Oh… I don't know…" She said she was disgusted with him. I sat between Trina and tori on the couch. But all of my attention was on Tori.
" Are you two alright?" I asked
"He's weird. Just hot and cold all the time."
"That's because you won't DO IT." Her sister said. "I mean you can't expect a guy like Ryder Daniels to just be happy with making out.
"Why not?" I asked Trina, I had my suspicions that Trina has given it up to this Daniels guy on occasion. I would never pressure someone like that.
"Yeah but you're not hot." Trina said to me.
"Jealous much?" I said raising my eyebrows.
"What are you talking about Trina? Look at him!"
"He's too pretty, Like that Beck guy." Trina retorted. "I like a more manly man."
"As if any of us would give you the time of day." I said rolling my eyes. This girl was the type that if any guy gave her the time of day, she would be on his junk in no time. I could have been making out with her by now if Tori hadn't been my target to begin with.
"Don't listen to her, I think you're gorgeous." I turned to her and caught her eyes with mine; this time purposely drawing her in by not saying anything at all. I looked at her lips licked mine then looked back into her eyes. I was preparing her for the fact that I was going to kiss her.
She blushed and looked away breaking the spell I had put on her. Oh she was a loyal one. "Well If I was your boyfriend, I wouldn't be off flirting with some other girls." Ryder was talking to this one girl that had been dancing with a crew just before. When tori looked in the direction I had been looking, he was tracing his fingers down her arm.
Now she was pissed and she stood up to confront him but I grabbed her hand and sat her back down. "That son of a bitch."
"You want him to behave? You need to let him know that you could have any man you want." I said putting my hand on her thigh and looking in her eyes. "These guys thrive on your jealousy. He needs to know you're the boss, and you don't have to give anything up to him to keep him."
"How would I do that?" she asked a little distraught. "He is all focused on that girl."
"Kiss me." I answered.
"What? I just met you." She said shocked.
"Exactly. You can have anyone you want. And I won't pressure you to do anything more I swear." I said to her and caught Beck watching out of the corner of my eye. She smiled at me, and she simply leaned forward and kissed my lips. What I didn't expect was the instant electricity that ran through me.
God that kiss was electrifying. I found my hand moving from her thigh to her hip then gradually up to the back of her neck. I felt a tap on my shoulder, and I would have responded except that her arms wrapped around my shoulders and she deepened the kiss. "DUDE, get off my girlfriend." I was shoved. He startled me out of Jaded-land and it kind of pissed me off.
I stood up and faced an equally irked Ryder Daniels. "She's your girlfriend?"
"Yes," he said getting real close to my face.
"I would never have known it the way you were trying to get in old girl over there's pants." I responded with a little venom. "You might need to make it clearer who your woman is, so that she doesn't find someone that she doesn't have to worry about cheating on her."
I turned to Tori smiled and kissed her hand. And with a wink I walked away to Beck. I pulled a pen out of my pocket and wrote my cell number on the palm on his hand. "Text her, she's out with some friends, see you around." I said and grabbed Cat's hand on the way out.
"Jade, why did he tell me that he could satisfy me better than you could." Cat asked once we were outside.
I laughed, "I told him you were my girlfriend."
"You Jaden, or You Jade?" She asked with a shocked expression.
"Me Jade." I answered.
"But I'm not gay… I'm not even bi." She screeched.
"Yes, I know, I told him as much, which is why he figured he could kiss you and win that bet before I could get that girl to kiss me."
"You used me…" she said a bit indignantly. Then she laughed, "That is one fine dude you got yourself a date with.
I laughed, and then I got my first text. It was a picture text. It was his face and a hi.
Me: Who the hell are you?
Beck: Beck Oliver, your brother told me to call you.
Me: so he's just giving random guys my number?
Beck: I'm not random.
I got in Cat's brother's car and she drove me to her house. Which was really close to H.A.
Me: you are to me.
Beck: I promise your brother is very selective.
Me: LOL okay
Beck: we should go out.
Me: I'm with someone.
Beck: Yeah, Cat… I met her, she's cute.
Me: She went without me? I have to have a serious talk with Cat and Jaden.
Beck: We should go out
Me: You are repeating yourself
Me: Ok
Beck: Tomorrow at Nozu.
Me: 7?
Beck: Yeah.
Me: Okay.
I smiled at my cleverness and headed for Cat's front door. I was staying the night.
