A;N: Hey guys. I had an account a few years ago but lost track of it. I decided to upload again on a new account. This is a Jade/Tori story. I have the whole thing mapped out in my head. Its summer so updates will be very soon! I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as I did writing it. Its sort of an introduction. This story will be full of smut. But with plenty of plot, I assure you. Enjoy.

Save Your Scissors.
'Save your scissors for someone else's skin'
The moonlight reflected off the lake in a manner that was almost too beautiful. Firelight lit up the area around the lake, in which Jade thought around 200 hundred teenagers were gathered. Alcohol was being passed around, songs were being sang and kisses were being placed. Jade could hear voices all around her, she had become an expert at blanking them out. Instead focusing on the nature around her. Despite her exterior, Jade was nothing like what met the eye. Her toes barely grazed the surface of the lake she sat at the egde of, the water was cold to her skin. She sipped lightly over a solo cup of Jack Daniels, contray to what many thought she was not a heavy drinker. She ran a hand through raven coloured hair with purple and green streaks, exhaling a shaky breath. She could see her friends at the other end of the lake singing. Cat Valenine was snuggled into Robbie Shapiro's side, both nursing a red cup much like her own. André Harris and Beck Oliver both with a guitar in hand, sat on mossy logs, laughing with one another. She smiled inwardy. She loved her friends, despite how she treated them.
A young woman, around the same age as Jade, dressed in jeans and a sweater that hung off her right shoulder sat next to Jade on the edge of the lake. A metre or two between them. Jade didn't recognise her. It was Jade's initail reaction to withdraw the sciossors she caried in her waistband and threaten the girl, but she didn't. The girl had caramel skin that for some reason Jade ached to touch, the most flawless cheek bones Jade had ever seen and orbs of chocolate brown for eyes. The girl had her feet dunked into the lake. Before Jade could even comprehend what she was doing next, she spoke.
"Are you new around here?" Jade asked with genuine curoiusity. Not often did she socialise with anyone out of her small group of friends, but something impulisve had drawn her to the girl.
The girl turned slightly to the right and looked at Jade, a small smile tugging at her lips. "I just got here last month and my sister dragged me to this party." She answered in a voice that made Jade think of soft velvet ropes. The girl shrugged and sighed in a manner that Jade would have found rude under any other circumstance.
"Where did you move from?" Jade's curiousity had gotten the better of her. She couldn't help herself from wanting more information on this stranger that she found herself so drawn to.
The girl pulled her legs from the lake and sat cross legged facing Jade. The moonlight shading her face in a sinister lighting that Jade found completely alluring. A shaky breath espcaped Jade's lips as she mirrored the girls stance. That voice of velvet spoke again. "We moved from NYC, my sister, parents and I. My dad got a new job, better money or something I guess." The girl pulled her knees to her chest as she studdied Jade with those chocolate eyes.
Before Jade could reply the girl spoke up again. "Why are you all alone?" Jade took a moment to think before she replied. Why was she alone? She guessed it was because she didn't really like parties, but she liked the lake.
"I don't really like parties but I like the lake. My friends are over there." Jade pointed across the way to where her friends were singing softly and laughing. The girl followed Jade's gaze across the lake, Jade couldnt help notice how soft the girls skin appeared.
"Whats your name?" The girl asked as she turned slowly back to Jade. She shot her a toothy grin. Jade didnt know why but she felt inclined to answer this girl.
"Jade." It escaped her plump lips in something that sounded like a whisper but wasn't quite. A small smile, barely visible, appeared on the other girls lip. A warm sensation over took Jade's body and she wasn't quite sure what it meant. The girl grinned some more.
"Suits you. I'm Tori." A small giggle followed the girls confession of her name. Her hands fell to her side and she leaned back on the grass, her gaze never leaving Jade's. Jade didn't know anything about this girl. Except that she moved here a month ago and her name was Tori.
"Pleasure to meet you, Tori." That signature smirk that Jade had mastered appeared on her lips, as her new companion chuckled. The way Tori's name fell off Jade's lips, felt somewhat like Jade's first taste of a highly addictve drug. Jade passed her cup to Tori to allow her to take a drink. Tori did just that.
Both girls set on the edge of the Lake until the moon was being washed away by the shimmer of sunlight, come morning. They shared stories of childhood, family and mummered sweet nothings to each other. As they parted ways the next morning Jade, felt an overwhelming sensation of both sadness and happiness of being in the company of Tori, the girl she met at the lake. She wondered if she'd ever see her again.
