A/N: I plan on this being a long story, so stick with me. Let me know what you think, good or bad, in the reviews so I know what to change or not change.
Thanks for reading!
This chapter is really short, but it had to start somewhere, right? Tori's POV
Just the beginning and it might take a while, but it will be a Cori fic so don't give up on this story, please.
I can practically feel Jade's eyes burning through me. Why does she hate me so much?
She knows Beck loves her and it's not like I'm trying to steal him. I don't even feel that way towards him, anymore. Honestly, I don't know what he sees in her, but hey.. to each their own.
It's the last class of the day and we've got Mr. Sikowitz.
He's going on about some pirate story and I had no choice but to zone out.
I noticed Cat beside me, she was almost bouncing out of her seat. I'm not sure if she's paying attention to what Sikowitz is babbling on about or if she's thinking about something funny, but she started giggling. She's always had a.. strange imagination, but that's just Cat.
She saw me and smiled and if you've ever seen her smile, you'd understand why it's so contagious. I guess I shouldn't keep staring at her.
I looked at the board, scribbled down the acting assignment in my notebook, and started doodling until class was over.
The bell rang! We're finally free!
Well.. sort of.
It's only Christmas break but I'm free from the wicked witch of the West for a few weeks.
I pack up what I need from my locker and start to leave when I hear Cat calling my name.
She sounds more excited than usual, which is almost impossible.
"Tori!"
"Hey, Cat."
"Guess what?!" she had a huge smile on her face and I couldn't help but mirror it
"I don't know, what?"
"It's almost Christmas!"
I let out a small laugh. She gets so excited about everything. People at school get annoyed but I think it's kind of cute.
"Yeah. Merry early Christmas!"
"Thanks! I got you something!" She reached into her bag and pulled out a small square box, perfectly wrapped, with a red bow on top.
"You didn't have to, Cat.. what is it?" I asked curiously.
"I can't tell you, silly! You have to open it... but not yet! on Christmas."
she waited around for a minute with an expectant look on her face.
I didn't get her anything, yet. I hadn't even thought about it.
Does that make me a bad best friend?
"Thanks, Cat.. I got you something too.. but.. it hasn't gotten here yet..." I lied and hoped she didn't notice. I was going to get her something, I just didn't know what.
"Thanks Tori! I know I'm going to love it because it's from you!"
She hugged me and I couldn't help but notice how amazing she smelled.
Liked cotton candy and strawberries.
"Yeah.. well, I've gotta go. If I make Trina wait any longer, she'll leave without me again. Bye Cat!" I waved and turned away from her towards the front doors of the school.
"Bye Tor!"
Great. Now I have to find something amazing to give Cat. Birthdays were easy with her. Give her a surprise party and a few hundred cupcakes and she's the happiest girl on the planet.. but I don't think that will work. It's Christmas and it has to be special.
"Hellloooo! Earth to Tori!" ugh.
"Sorry Trin-" I start but she cut me off
"You made me wait 6 minutes! 6! I should have left without you.. you owe me. Now get in!"
I'd usually care more that Trina now thought I owed her something and that something would probably be very unenjoyable, as it has been proven to be in the past, but it's the holidays and I'm just happy to be out of school for a while.
