"Oh my gosh.. WHY is Beck still taken?"
Tori was dialing her locker combination when she overhead a pair of girls talking around the corner. Just another group of girls admiring Beck. She continued to getting her things. Let's see.. My math book, vocal class homework, scien-
"I know, right? I thought he and Jade were just a phase!"
"Shh! Don't yell, JADE might hear," the other girl whispered harshly.
Wise girl.
"I'm sorry.. It's just so weird, you know? How could a couple like them stay together for so long? I'm pretty sure they've dated the longest in this school."
Tori froze, a little surprised. She's never really thought about that before.
"I've been waiting to ask out Beck for AGES, you don't think I know that? I don't get it, just look at them! Why would a hottie like him ever think of asking out a goth girl?"
Honestly, Jade is really pretty..
But they've got a point. How DID they meet?
"Their styles actually aren't all that far from each other.. Beside, I kind of think Jade is pretty," the girl said, observing the strange couple.
Tori turned over to see Beck leaning on a locker near Jade's as she yelled about something while he sipped his coffee patiently.
"Whatever.. I can't wait till they break up for good."
Their voices started fading as they walked away.
"Yeah, I heard Beck never dated anyone whenever he and Jade had a fight."
"Mm.. Except that Meredith girl."
"Nah, that doesn't really count."
Finally, their conversation was long gone. Silence at last. Okay, what did I need for Sikowi-
"Hey Tori."
"DANGIT!" She yelled.
"Dang girl," he said, raising his hands up in surrender.
"Sorry Andre," she sighed.
Tori glanced at the famous couple again, her curiosity growing.
"Hey," she said, turning to Andre, "You're close with Beck, right?"
"Yeah, I've known Beck since we first came to Hollywood Arts," he said, shrugging.
"How did Beck and Jade meet?"
He stopped.
"Huh?"
"Y'know, how did they get together?"
"Oh, y'know, they talked some in class, and Beck kinda just asked her out, and- Look, I don't know, I'm just his best friend. And I.. I didn't really hang around cause Jade scared me," he said, averting his eyes, "It just happened."
"Wha-" Tori gasped, exasperated. She threw her hands up in the air, "Whaddya mean it just happened? Beck and Jade don't just 'happen'."
"Why not?"
"Wh- look at them, they're complete opposites! Aren't you curious?"
"Nah," Andre answered shortly and walked away, knowing how dangerous a curious Tori could get.
She sighed and closed her locker, following behind Andre to Sikowitz's class.
"AWW MAN, I FORGOT TO BRING MY STAGE PROP!"
Lunchtime arrived, and Tori's curiosity only grew larger. She sat at the table, anxiously waiting as her friends arrived: Andre, Robbie and Cat... And finally, Beck and Jade. Arguing, as usual. The table finally settled down and conversed normally, other than the weird chip in's from Cat.
Later, Jade gets up to get more coffee. After a silence from a finished conversation, Tori couldn't help herself.
"Beck?"
She figured Beck was the more reasonable person to ask.
"How did you and Jade meet?"
Beck thought for a minute, remembering the moment.
"In Sikowitz's class. Why?"
"I mean like.. How did you guys start dating? I'm just curious.. Y'know, you and Jade being so.. Opposite."
"Ha," Rex let out a sarcastic laugh.
Beck smiled.
Just then, Jade came back and sat down. She flickered her eyes up at them.
"What," she asked(declared), annoyed.
"Tori wants to know how you and I started dating," he said, putting an arm around Jade.
"Yeah, well, mind your own business."
"Jade just doesn't want you to know she used witchcraft to get Beck to date her," Rex blurted.
She sent a death glare to Rex.
"Come on, why don't we tell them?" Beck shrugged.
"Sure, their boring lives could use some excitement."
"Storytime!" Cat yelled happily.
