-Flashback-
Four years ago
With Jade's dad, Mr. West, so busy in his office all day every day, Jade never gets to see her dad. That doesn't really bother her much, though because Mr. West and his daughter never seem to get along too well. They barley ever talk, but when they do, it's not much of a conversation. It started a long time ago when Jade's mother, Mrs. West, was in the picture. Jade liked all the dark things, scissors, combat boots, black, and a lot more. Jade wanted to start dressing up in all black and get piercings, but her parents wouldn't let her. She did it anyways, not caring about what they think and what they want. When Jade got home that day her mother and father noticed the piercings and black clothes. They got furious. They yelled at her, and she yelled back saying it was her life and she can do whatever she wants. Jade walked fast up the stairs; with her mother following her close behind. Mrs. West started screaming, saying to stop because she wasn't done talking, asking why she got them and saying she wants her to take them off. There were boxes all around the house because they just moved there. There were also some sharp things and glass in some open boxes. Mrs. West stopped at the top of the staircase, grabbing her daughter's arm, Jade quickly turned around yanking her arm away, causing Mrs. West to lose her balance and fall backwards down the stairs. She fell backwards hitting her head and other parts of her body hard. When she first hit the stairs, Jade heard a snap coming from her neck, and that frightened her. Mrs. West landed on some house ordainment that was about a foot tall, glass, and really sharp, with points coming out from the top. It was a beautiful piece of structure, until blood covered it. Jade watched intently at the scene, seeing a few blades of glass come up right through her mother's stomach and chest like a samurai sword. Jade felt scared and she wanted to look away, but she couldn't. She was just standing there at the top of the staircase not knowing what to do. Then her father walked into the room, mesmerized by what he saw. He was blaming the death of his wife on Jade, his daughter, when she really didn't mean for that to happen.
-End of Flashback-
Jade's lying on her couch covering her face with a couch pillow, with her hands above her, and her right knee up. She was thinking about her mother, but decided to change the subject.
I can't believe I have to work on a project with stupid Vega. Uhg, this is pure torture. She's just so freaking annoying with her always-happy-positive-attitude.
Her smile, her laugh, her chocolaty brown eyes, her voice, and the way she walks. Also when she gets angry it's the cutest thing ever. Wait did I just say… no. I just got confused for a second. What I meant to say was, her smile, her laugh, her happiness, it's all so fucking annoying.
She's gonna be over soon. I said she should come over about an hour or so after school which is… well, sometime soon I guess.
Jade was lying on her couch for about another five minute, still thinking.
*Ring*
The doorbell rang, cutting Jade form her thoughts.
"Jade, can you please get that? I'm busy." Mr. West asked his daughter from the kitchen.
Jade gets up and walks over to the door and opens it to reveal Tori.
"Hey Jadey, we have a project to get working on. May I come in?" Tori said with a big smile on her face.
"Uhg, don't call me Jadey," Jade said pointing at Tori with her finger and an annoyed look on her face. "And yes come in so we can get this project over with." Jade said rolling her eyes at the nickname Tori gave her.
"Alright well I'll leave you two to work on your project." Mr. West said taking a sip from his coffee. Jade just noticed that he has coffee.
"Yeah whatever… Well, we'll start in a minute I have something important to do first." She said getting up from the couch.
"What?" Tori asked scrunching her face.
"I need to make coffee." She said spinning around to give Tori a smirk and an eyebrow raise, then turning back around to the coffee making machine.
After the coffee was done being made, Jade sat back down on the couch next to Tori with the hot cup of black liquid sitting in her hands.
"So, now can we start?" Tori asked watching her enemy take a long sip from her cup with a bored expression on her face. When she was done she stared at Tori for a second then said,
"Yes." Jade then put her cup down on the table in front of them while Tori took out her laptop from her bag and opened it.
"So..." Tori said holding out the O.
"What?"
"Well, do you have any ideas for our project?"
"No."
"Okay, well… how about… our play can be about how these two couples-"Jade then cut Tori off from saying the rest of her idea for their play to hand in to Sikowitz.
"No! We have to act this out in front of the class and I am not being your lovey dovey husband or wife!" Jade then sat back in the couch with her arms crossed.
"Okay, sorry I didn't know we had to act it out in front of the class."
"Whatever. Alright how about this," She sat up with a little smile on her face and then finished her sentence.
"There's this girl and she gets bullied every day at school by this really mean chick-"Jade was then cut off from Tori mumbling something.
"Sounds like someone I know…"
Jade just gave a look and continued.
"So, anyways… There's a mean girl and she's always picking on this girl in school, then in the end the girl wishes upon a shooting star something like 'I just want to fit in, have friends and not be constantly bullied, why does she hate me?' So then like… in the morning when she wakes up she's nervous again about going to school and when she gets there she's like… terrified and blah, blah, blah. Then something happens between them and their… I don't know we'll have to figure that part out, we still have four days this week to finish it before we hand it in Friday."
"I like it. I'm guessing you're going to be the bully, you fit that roll perfectly." Tori said smirking at Jade.
"Yes, and I am going to be the one killing you!"
"How about they end up as friends? Or they just… do something… anything besides my character dying please!"
"Hmm… I don't know, depends. I guess they could possibly… not hate each other in the end."
"Great!" Tori said with a smile as she feels good that she finally got her way with Jade.
…...
It was Tuesday morning and Sikowitz was nowhere to be found. Class had begun eleven minutes ago according to the clock.
"Where's Sikowitz?" Tori asked looking at some of her friends.
"I'm right here!" Mr. Sikowitz said from the stage with his hands up motioning towards himself.
"Where did you come f-"Cat asked confusedly, but was then cut off by the teacher.
"Doesn't matter! What matters are your projects. How are they coming along? Hands?
Beck then raised his hand and Sikowitz picked him since no one else wanted to share.
"Beck Oliver, you may now share what you and Andre accomplished." He said taking a sip from his coconut.
"Okay well, me and Andre we're almost done and our play is about well, there's a zombie apocalypse happening in the world and it's about how these two boys find a hole in the ground and they were led there by a map and it has a ladder going all the way to the bottom and the two boys venture down into the long mysterious tunnel cave thing and they find a golden stone that makes the apocalypse stop." Beck said leaning back in his chair.
"I think it's legit." Andre added.
"Nice… okay Jade and Tori." Sikowitz said now turning towards the girls.
"We didn't raise our hands." Jade stated.
"I know, but I want you two to share because it bugs you Jade." Sikowitz said with a grin.
Jade took a deep breath staring at her teacher, then turned to Tori and said,
"Tori, how about you tell Sikowitz about our project." Jade said smiling widely at the brunette and doing the 'eyebrow raise' up and down once, which made her uncomfortable.
"Sure. Um… well okay..."
When Tori finished explaining what their play was about the teacher moved on to everybody else in the class and liked all the good ideas each pair came up with.
The bell rang indicating class was over and it was time for lunch.
"Jade, Tori stay back." Sikowitz said.
The girls groaned and sat back down in their usual seats they sit in every day.
"What?" Jade barked sitting with her arms and legs crossed.
"It's about your play."
"What about it?"
"Some other couple in this class is doing what you're doing, Eli and his partner. You two need to figure out another plot for your play. It needs to be different. Everybody's play has to be different, that is why I have you guys tell me what your play is about in class sometimes." Sikowitz said, now drinking from two coconuts with one big swirly straw.
Jade responded quickly, "Why do we have to change? Why can't Eli and his partner do something different?"
"Because Jade," Sikowitz said now getting in Jade's face, nose to nose saying, "Eli and his partner thought of it first." Sikowitz now got away from the gothic teen's face, skipping onto the stage.
"And anyways… I have a part I want you two… to have in your play. I don't care when it comes up I just want you guys to have it somewhere in your play… And the rest you two can make up." Sikowitz said taking a sip in between.
"So let me guess, you want me and Vega to have some romantic part in the play?" Jade asked now getting furious; wanting only to get away from the girl she says who she hates.
"No, but that is a better idea. So be romantic, be whatever. But Jade, this time I want you to be the guy and Tori, the girl. Have fun!" Sikowitz said now getting up and walking towards the door.
"But wait!" Jade yelled towards her teacher who just slammed the door running away, knowing if he were to stay in the room any longer he might get mauled by Jade who seems to be very furious at the moment.
Jade just shot Tori a very angry look, pursing her lips.
"Okay Jade no need to be angry with me it was Sikowitz who said we had to be romantic in a part of our play." She said now becoming very uneasy.
"I know… I'm not mad at you." Jade now got out of her chair and walked over to the Latina.
She then put her left knee up on Tori's chair pressed up against her leg and left hand on her shoulder and whispered in her ear.
"I'll be over tonight to work on the play… girlfriend." And she got off her and walked to the door with an elegant strut, looked back at the Latina who was frozen in place with her mouth agape and with that, she left.
…
Tori heard a knock on the door and opened it to see a smirking Jade West standing there.
"Move Vega and let me in."
"Oh right, sorry, come in." Tori said moving out of the doorway.
Jade came in and got comfortable on the couch.
"So ready? I got nothing, now it's your turn to make something up for our play. Go"
"Oh, okay… um… How about this. There's this war right? And our characters are on different sides. You find me harmed somewhere and I get scared and stuff thinking you're gonna hurt me and that's your job, if you find the enemy and capture them, you kill them or whatever. And so, you say you can't harm me because your character finds me… well fell in love with me and besides killing me, you kiss me." Tori said still having a lot on her mind with millions of different ideas for their play.
"Hm… I like it Vega, not bad."
Tori was both excited and surprised by Jade's reaction.
As the girls starting typing out their play an idea hit Jade.
"Ooo… I have something else we can add to this to make it better."
"What?" Tori said feeling a little nervous about what she has to say.
"At the end after our kiss, we get caught by both sides of the war and they separate us going with the enemy, also killing us." Jade finished.
"You can't do anything unless there's death involved can you?" Tori said shaking her head.
"Yeah I guess, ha. Whatever, but do you like it?"
"Yes I love it." Tori answered.
"So my character's name is Mason and yours is Alex... Okay." Jade said looking down at what they have written so far.
When the girls were finished they decided they should act it out. The closer they got towards the end, the more nervous each girl became, but they didn't show it.
"No, d-don't hurt me, please." Alex pleaded.
"I'm not going to hurt you." Mason said cupping the injured woman's face in his hands.
Alex flinched, moving back a little.
"No," Mason whispered softly. "I am not going to hurt you, I wanna help you."
He moved the woman into his arms and held her tight, using a tourniquet to cover the gash she had near her thigh. Mason's head snapped towards the entrance which was also the exit when he heard footsteps getting louder. He then turned back to the badly injured woman in his arms.
"I need to get you outta here, fast." He said as they stood up and he helped her.
"Why? Why are you helping me? I'm the enemy, you're supposed to torture me or kill me but instead you help. Why?
"Because… I don't know, you. I just find you… It doesn't matter right now, what matters is-"He was then cut off by a voice.
"Well, I thought the rules were simple, when you find the enemy, you kill him. Take them away soldiers. I want you to kill them off, first the man."
The soldiers took each person in their hands and pulled them away from each other.
"Use the head slicer on him, then the girl!" The man ordered.
"Wait!" The soldiers then let go of the man who then wrapped his arms around the woman and kissed her deeply. He was surprised she kissed back, but most diffidently happy.
Tori felt something rise in her body; it was a weird feeling that went all throughout her. Her body temperature began to upsurge, Tori was sweating and she could feel it. She didn't know what it was that caused that to happen, but the butterfly feeling made her feel good. Before she knew it she let out a moan, and that was when Jade let her go. Tori was diffidently nervous and scared, also confused on why she did what she did and why she was so hot. She was thinking that maybe she was just so much in character at the moment and that's why that happened. Well she is a great actress.
The girls were done with their short play and they both heard the audience clap very loudly, intending that they liked it. Jade took the Latina's hand in hers and looked at her smiling and Tori returned the smile. They both then turned their attention back to the audience and took a bow.
(The scene had switched as you can see. I'm pretty sure you got confused)
The end of the day came quick. The halls were pretty empty, but there were still a couple of students here and there.
Tori went to her locker to gather her things and when she was done, she swung her bag over her shoulder and started out the front doors of the school. But before she could reach the first step, she was blinded by some rag or bandanna covering her eyes and a hand with a rough glove covered her mouth to muffle the screams she flew out to try and get someone's attention, but no one heard and before she knew it, she was thrown face down on the floor of the janitor's closet.
This was a pretty short chapter and not my best, but I wrote most of this in like... 3:00 in the morning or something and I was pretty tired. I thought I should leave you at a cliffhanger. :) I wonder who that person was who blinded Victoria and threw her in the janitors closet. Hm?
