A/N: Have been writing all day... here's my go at RADE only my second time around, but it was a cute rom com.

Monday (Keeping it simple) - Romantic Comedy "He's all that"

Spring break has ended ant it was time for the HA seniors to come back to school for the last leg of their high school lives. Robbie rides his bike on to campus with Rex on his basket. He gathers his books and his puppet and heads into the school Just as Jade buys a cup of Jet brew coffee and heads towards her friends Tori and Cat.

"Well school is on its last leg for us." Tori said as the three walked over to her locker.

"I'm not ready!" Cat exclaimed.

"I am, I was two years ago." Jade said taking a sip of her coffee.

"Well, at least you have a super hot boyfriend." Tori said Just as Andre passed by her and smiled. "Later guys" She said and turns to face him.

This is when He arrives. Super Hot and Sexy, Beck walks into the HA halls. He is so cocky, something so different than he ever was. He had always been confident, but now he was too confident. Jade tilted her head and watched her boyfriend approach her and her pierced eyebrow shot up. "Hey babe, " she said coming to him to kiss him. She hadn't seen him all of spring break because he went on a trip to Europe.

"Hey!" He said holding her at arms length and turning to Tori and Andre who were just about to make out. "Any of you guys have any gum?"

Jade looked at him incredulously. "Really?"

Tori hands him a piece of gum then he leans forward and kisses Jade on the cheek. "Jade… we need to talk."

Jade could not believe his tone, "What are you doing?" She asked.

"Yeah, this…" He stated pointing a finger between he and she, "this isn't going to work."

"WHAT?" Jade screamed, and he pulled her into the janitors closet. "Wait you're breaking up with me?"

"Yes," he said.

"What the hell happened over spring break?" Jade questions once they are in the closet.

"Well, you remember I went to Europe?" Beck starts. Jade nods impatiently. "Well You remember tori saying How Trina was in Spain studying for a year… and-"

"TRINA?" She yells.

"Well yeah, she's Hot, and older, and She let's me do things to her body…"

"Hold on… You fucked her?" Jade asks narrowing her eyes.

"Well you won't I have to go where I can get some." Jade draws her hand back and slaps Beck Hard across the face. "JADE! Did you honestly think that I was going to leave for college still dating you?"

Jade looked at him incredulously, "Well-"

"Oh my god you did! That is so sweet" He said stroking her cheek, "don't worry you can still rest assured that you have a prom Date since Trina does not come to this school anymore."

"Fuck you Beck," Jade said stomping out of the closet.

Later in the day, an angry Jade walks out to the Asphalt. Tori and Cat are already sitting at their Table and she joins them. "Hey, Jade." Tori says cautiously.

"How are you doing?" Cat asked

"Don't talk to me Vega." Jade growls.

"It was Trina, not me!" Tori said just as Trina's car pulled up to the asphalt. The older Vega bounced out of her vehicle, and waved excitedly at her boyfriend. He ran over to her and they began to make out. "Ugh, gross."

"You knew about this Vega, and you didn't tell me anything." Jade scolded her friend.

"I know, I'm sorry. " Tori said

"Yeah, now you'll never be prom Queen."

"I don't want to be prom queen, " Jade stated then looked at Cat. "Why can't I be prom queen?"

"Duh… because you were half of the hottest couple, now all that is left is half, " Tori interjected.

"Who the hell does he think he is? There are hundreds of guys in this school and I could get with the hottest of them. Beck Oliver is totally replaceable."

"You're delusional!" Tori said

"I am not!" Jade protests.

"Jade, Beck is so hot, that every dude want's to be him and every girl wants to date him." Tori

"Yeah, He's you… but with a dick!" Cat agreed.

"Oh please I could pick any looser and make him the most popular dork in school." Jade looks over at Beck, "Beck is just a shell of a beautiful person. Take away those looks and that hair and you are left with no personality."

"Oh really? You wanna put your money where your mouth is?" Tori offers a challenge. Jade tilts her head intrigued.

"What are you thinking?"

"Your new Prada bag, says you can't make…" Tori looks around the Asphalt and spots Robbie. "That Dork Prom King" Jade follows her line of sight and blanches when she spots Robbie. That idiot was not going to be easy to convert, that is if he lets her anywhere near him.

"No way, not him, how about Berf… He would be better."

"Robbie…" Tori insists.

Cat Frowns, "Guys, I don't think that's such a good idea."

Jade and Tori ignores her, and the latter looks at Robbie. "Okay, " Jade said and steeled herself to go talk to him. "Hey, Rob."

Robbie kind of jumps a little. "Hey Baby, was shaking" Rex stated.

"Rex Shhhh…" Robbie hushed his puppet. Jade raises a brow.

"Hey Rex, " Jade continued, "You guys want to hang out with me tonight?"

"Uh… No… Uh I have to go." Robbie said and headed for his bike leaving Jade standing on the spot embarrassed.

"Did he just…" She shook her head and walked to her car.

As jade walks into her house that afternoon, her mind is entangled in trying to make sense of Robbie and trying to figure out what sort of effort she was going to put forth to make him do what she said. "Tori will not be getting my Prada bag…" She muttered to herself as her Mom walked into the house.

"Hey, Jade!"

Jade glanced at her mother who was looking through the mail, and she cursed herself for not having checked fist. She had been accepted to Stanford and Julliard, and Yale, and Harvard there was one more college that should be sending their response, and she just didn't want her mom to know just yet because she just didn't know how to tell her that she didn't want to go to Stanford or Yale or Harvard at all. She certainly didn't want to go to Vassor either. "Hi mom," she said tentatively.

"You still haven't received a response from any college! It's late in the year isn't it?"

"Mmm… no, I don't think so." Jade responded pouring herself a mug of coffee.

"I think I'll call Mary Alice she sits in Stanford's board of admissions, so that I can find out what's going on!" Her mom said, "You're an honor student Stanford should be considered lucky to have you in their halls."

"No… no mom, Let's just give it some time," Jade said. "Look I have to go, I have a nerd to wrangle."

Her mom quirks a brow, "A nerd?"

"Well… I asked him out, and he turned me down." Jade answers.

"So, find another nerd." Her mom said pouring herself a mug of the dark liquid as well.

"I have to have that Nerd… I just don't get it." Jade said downing the rest of her drink.

"Jade, you are a beautiful girl… so what I am about to tell you may seem a bit foreign to you, but it sounds to me that you may have to work for your Nerd."

"Work for him?"

"Yes, get to know him, what he likes." Her mom patted her shoulder and headed to her study. "Lord knows you will appreciate him more than any of the Jocks you bring home."

Jade stood there thoughtfully staring out into the distance. "Work for the nerd." She blinked and headed out of the house.

Robbie stands behind the counter at the groovy smoothie bored half out of his mind. There is an old lady in front of him that just can't decide which smoothie to get. As he waits for her to decide, Jade walks in and heads directly towards him. "Make the lady the strawberry banana with a brain boost to fix her stupidity." Jade says taking a sidelong glance at the incredulous old lady. She turns a full flirtatious smile on Robbie as he checks on the old lady."

"Would you like one of those?" He asks kindly; the old lady smiles at him and nods. He then turns to Jade. "What do you want?"

Jade tries to find words as Robbie begins to make the smoothie. "You're taking a break." Jade said folding her arms in front of her.

"No, I'm not." Robbie answered pouring the smoothie into a cup for the lady.

"Yes you are," Jade said and walked behind the counter and pulled him out of the groovy smoothie after the lady paid her bill. "Why won't you go out with me?" she asks.

"Why would you want to? You're Jade West!" Robbie said rounding on her.

"Why not? I mean…" She looks him over, "You're not bad looking… Let's do something you like to do."

"I have something to do after work." He says and walks away from her heading to the back room of the smoothie. She followed him there.

"Can I come with you?" She asks as Robbie picked Rex up.

"Sure!" Rex speaks up, "There's a seedy little theater down town, you should check him out, and he's preforming."

Jade turns to the puppet and smiles. "I'll be there, How about seven?"

"Rex!" Robbie scolds the puppet. Jade only smiles and gives Robbie a little peck on the cheek.

As she walks out of the backroom, Rex speaks up again. "What's the big deal Robbie? What have you got to loose?"

"What do you mean?" Robbie asked his best friend.

"The hottest girl in school is stalking you, aren't you the least bit curious?"Robbie sighed and shrugged.

Jade sits and watches some fucked up sociopolitical performance art piece with this naked girl coming out of a latex bubble. The performance art piece was a pretentious social commentary, she thought it was a piece of shit and the dumbest thing she ever saw until Robbie came out onto the stage, he was naked too, and began to sway with the naked girl.

At the sight of the naked eighteen-year-old boy, Jade feels her body react with an attraction she didn't know existed. She bites her lower lip and sighs watching the boy sway with the girl in an incredibly sensual dance. "Fuck me," she whispered and waited for it to end.

It was a sort of open mike night thing, but she sees that Robbie and his friend had put a lot of effort and thought to their piece. The girl and Robbie ran off of the stage and grabbed some robes. Robbie comes toward her, and sits next to her. "You know you should go up there."

She shakes her head. "No… I don't think—"

Then the girl kind of calls her out, "I hear we have a new voice among us! Jade… won't you come up?"

Jade looks at Robbie who has a smirk on his face. "Are you chicken?" He asks.

Jade looks at him, and her face changes to one of determination. She stood up there, and closed her eyes. Jade made up some dark emo piece on the spot. Robbie was impressed and couldn't help but smile at her effort.

"So, how was I?" Asks an excited Jade

"You were okay," He says, "really interesting."

"Really?" Jade asks.

He smirks. "Nah you were awful."

Jade smiles, Robbie laughs, "you were great too." Jade said and stopped to look at him. She looks him over with the clothes he wears. "And you have a pretty banging body."

He is taken aback, and glowers, "Very funny…"

"What did I say?" Jade asks.

"You know I don't want to be part of your sick little game. Just leave me out of it." Robbie says and walks away.

"Robbie what the hell?" Jade yells after him, but he keeps going.

On Saturday afternoon, Jade pulled up to Robbie's duplex. His mother was outside in the garden. "Hi, Dear… may I help you."

"Hi Mrs. Shapiro, I'm Jade." She said as she came up to her, "is Robbie in?"

Mrs. Shapiro gives her a smile, "Why sure! Robbie!"

Jade turns to the door, as Robbie cones out with Rex and a dorky smile on his face. "Coming mom!" Then he sees Jade and growls. "What are you doing here?

"I was wondering if you wanted to go to my house for a pool party." Jade asks

"No, I have things to do." Robbie said.

"Okay… so I'll cancel not a big deal, I'll just help you do whatever you're doing." Jade says.

"Or you could have lunch with us." His mother offers; Jade smiles at her.

"I'd love to… Unless you actually want to come to the party." Jade says pulling out her phone.

"I'll get my suit." He mumbles and walks into the house.

The pool party is in full swing and Jade is off with Tori and Cat. Robbie is left alone with Andre. Robbie soon becomes somewhat of a sensation. As they all begin to like him a lot. Everyone is great with him. He begins to blend in with the crowd as the party went well into the night.

Robbie and Jade danced by the pool, as Beck and Trina walk out of the house. They are both a little drunk. Jade catches a glimpse of them and moves Robbie away to protect him from Beck. But Beck sees them together and walks up to Robbie. "What is this looser doing here?" Beck spits out.

"I was invited." Robbie answered

Beck snorts and pushes Robbie "To everyone that matters here you are nothing but a waste of space." Behind them Trina begins doing some stupid dance and people start to gather around her to watch. That doesn't derail Beck; He chooses to ignore his embarrassing girlfriend. "You're not going to cry are you, Robbie?" Beck says and begins to laugh.

Robbie pushes him away and walks out of the door. Jade runs out after him and he shirks away. He never should have gone. "Robbie wait!" Jade tries to comfort him. "You can't be afraid to be with someone, not like that. You'll be lonely forever."

"How would you know? You have walls thicker than anyone I know." He retorted.

"But I'm not afraid to put myself in someone's hands, I can take the good with the bad. You just have to be strong there is no better way to live than with other people, even if sometimes you have to be a total gank."

"I just want to go home, I see you later" He begins to walk away. She waves goodbye and sighs.

"Oh brother." She mumbles and heads back into her house. The party is over.

"Robbie, is it too hard to believe that she may just like your sorry ass?" Rex asks as they walk the halls of Hollywood Arts.

"Yes," Robbie answers as he waves at some random girl that is looking at him with flirty eyes.

"She told you that you had a banging body, " Rex said, "I don't see it, but hey to each his own."

"Hey Robbie!" Tori said passing by him with Andre at her side.

"Hey." Andre said and they stopped next to him. Cat bounced in right next to them. "Congrats Robbie!" She said.

"Why?" Robbie asked.

"You made it to Prom Court." Cat said her big eyes fluttering at him.

"Who nominated me?" Robbie asks.

"I did!" Cat said with her gorgeous dimpled smile.

"CAT!" Tori says, and pulls her with her to talk.

Andre shrugged, "Congrats dude, you deserve it."

"Thanks," Robbie says as he watches Andre leave. He looks at Rex.

"Sweet." Was all the puppet says.

Andre walks to Beck as he is punches the locker above his. "Yo, Chill down dude, what's your problem?"

"TRINA, she broke up with me! That gank! No one breaks up with me!"

Andre tries to hide a snicker. "Dude… she did you dirty like you did Jade, it's Karma."

"Whatever, I'm getting Jade back."

"She's with Robbie." Andre says

"Right, and I couldn't get her back with this face? Whatever." Then he noticed a picture of Jade and Robbie dancing at the pool party. Beck screws his face up in disgust. "What the fuck?"

$%&*

"Why don't you just fuck his brains out, that ought to turn him… it will definitely get him some popularity." Tori suggests, as she gets dressed after gym.

"You're a ho just like your sister," Jade states doing the same.

"I mean if his body is as gorgeous as you say, I may want some." Tori continues.

"You wouldn't dare!" Jade says dangerously low.

"What do you care? Unless this is more than a bet." Tori says coming nose to nose, not afraid of Jade anymore.

"It is just a bet." Jade replied.

"Good then, " Tori smirks and turns away. "Later."

After Gym, Jade goes to the Black box and watches Robbie work on a set design, she wanted to work on him asking her to Prom, or she was going to have to do it herself. "These look great Rob."

He looks up from what he is doing and smiles. "Hey, thanks." He says

"Can I ask you a question?" She asks, "and if you say that I just did I will turn around and walk out of here."

Robbie laughs, "I won't… what's your question?"

"What happened to your dad?" She asks sitting next to him on the stage.

Robbie feels his eyes sting with the pain of his loss and he looks down at his lap. "He… Died… Pancreatic Cancer."

Jade watches his face contort in pain and reaches out a hand. "I'm so sorry." She whispers.

"He was a really great guy you know." Robbie says, "He worked really hard for us to be okay, and he died, his dream was never realized. You're lucky, you have your mom and she is able to give you what he wanted to give me and mom."

"It's not all of that, I mean She is always pressuring me."

"She loves you, she wants you to make those decisions for your future. She can't make them for you. I mean what are you going to do with your life after Hollywood Arts?"

Jade shakes her head. "Whatever, I just want to say that I hope you don't shut me out, I really want to get to know you."

Their eyes lock and slowly their eyes flutter shut and as they come closer Robbie mumbles, "This isn't because I am nominated for Prom King is it?" Jade stops short and has to think about that question. She isn't sure what she is doing anymore and she turns to leave the black box while Robbie's eyes are still closed. When he opens them he sees the ghost of the door shutting behind her.

The next few days, Jade avoids Robbie, and he is happy, because he doesn't know what he did wrong. Everyone thinks he is a shoe in for prom king, because Beck has been a real ass. Rob is in the Asphalt with Rex and a couple of bullies come in and grab Rex and begin to play keep away from Robbie. "Drop the damn Puppet or I'll cut you with my scissors." Jade spat at the bullies.

The bullies turn to her, and she brandishes the scissors menacingly. "Okay Cool it!" He says and hands Rex over to her. She snatches the puppet from their hands and returns it to Robbie.

"I catch you taking that guys little friend again, I'm going to do a number on your little friend. Get me?" She threatens.

The bullies gulp and head out of the Asphalt. "Thanks Jade," Robbie said

She smiles and walks away a little blush rising in her cheeks.

As she watches Jade walk out of the Asphalt, Tori approaches Robbie. "Hey, will you go to prom with me?

"I… I think I'm going to ask someone else… I'm sorry" Robbie says.

"Who? Jade?" Tori shakes her head. "But she is so into Beck. I mean did she even tell you she wanted to go with you?"

"Well… no. But the guys are usually the ones that ask."

Tori shrugs, "Whatever, Just check it out." Then she points them out.

Robbie looks to where he saw Jade go and spots her talking to Beck.

"Jade, so what color is your dress for Prom?" Beck asks

"Why do you want to know?" Jade asks.

"We're going together right?" He asks.

"Uh… No." Jade said, "I'm gonna as Robbie if he doesn't ask me soon."

"I think He's taken…" Beck says. Jade turns around and spots Robbie talking to Tori.

"Tori what are you doing?" Jade asks.

"Hey, Jade… Listen Robbie and I are going to Prom together, I want out of the bet." Both Robbie and Jade's faces go ashen. Jade is mortified and Robbie is angry.

"I'm a fucking BET?"

"Well… I…" Jade stammered.

"Aww dude!" Beck starts wrapping his arm around Jade. "You didn't think you became popular for real did you?" Beck laughs at Robbie's incredulous face "Oh you did? That's so sweet!"

"I knew it!" Robbie spits at Jade.

"No Robbie…" Jade tries as she feels her heart twist in her chest. What is that? "Oh god…" Tori looks at her miserable friend, and smirks as she walks out behind Robbie.

When Jade gets home, she finds her mother in her room looking through the college acceptance packages she has gotten. "MOM! What are you doing?"

"Jade, This… how? Where are… Have you let them know you are going?"

"I haven't chosen." Jade said dropping her bag on her bed.

"Jade the deadlines are fast approaching!"

"I know… mom can we not talk about this right now?"

"Stanford's Deadline is tomorrow."

"I KNOW." Jade screamed. "I'm not going to go to Stanford… I'm not going to Yale, Vassor, or Harvard. I'm going to Julliard."

Mrs. West just stands there and looks at her daughter. "Okay," she says after a few seconds of silence. "At least you've made up your mind." And then… "What's wrong?"

"I just… I like this boy, and he found out that I bet Tori that I could make him prom king. But that was before I really knew how great he was. So… now…"

"Now he won't talk to you." Her mother says quietly. Jade shakes her head and her mother runs her fingers through her daughters Raven and emerald locks. "Make a grand gesture Jade, So that he can see with clarity what he means to you."

Jade plops down on her bed with a sigh and thinks about what her mother just said. "Grand gesture…"

All week until prom night, Jade calls Robbie over and over again until she ended up going to Prom alone.

Robbie is not planning on going to prom. He is miserable, because he really likes Jade. He was so hurt that she was using him for some bet. Why can't she just like him? His mom comes to his room on prom night and hugs him. "Hey," she says placing a soft kiss on his temple. "I thought tonight was prom. Aren't you going to be king?"

"I doubt it… besides, I don't have a date." He answers.

"You don't? Then who is that gorgeous girl in the living room?" His mother asks. Robbie perks up and goes to the living room. Tori is standing there with a smile on her face.

"Hi," she says, "I didn't accept Andre's invitation to prom just for the chance that you might want to come with me after all."

"Robbie will be going to the prom, and he will drive you in my car." Mrs. Shapiro says.

Robbie looks at Jade's friend and sighs. "Let me go get ready.

When Jade shows up at the asphalt alone Beck spots her right away. He pulls her to the dance floor directly to where Robbie is dancing with Tori. All of them doing some sort of elaborate HA dance. When the Dance is done, Tori goes off to the bathroom. Robbie looks around the Asphalt and spots Jade staring at him. She smiles, and he can't help but return the smile. She begins to make her way to him but Beck pulls her back and begins to kiss her. Robbie sighs and turns away from the sight, missing the sucker punch that Jade hits Beck with giving him a shiner.

Tori begins to really flirt with Robbie now, as they start announcing prom king and queen. They crown Beck King, and Jade becomes queen. Tori grins at Jade hugely, "I want that bag." She mouths over at Jade.

They crown the king and queen, and when Beck turns and tries to kiss her, she pushes him away and walks off of the stage. Jade tosses the crown at Tori, and walks out of school campus.

Later that evening, Robbie got home and his mom was sitting with Jade at the kitchen table. "What are you doing here?" He asks

"I need to talk to you." Jade says, and his mom excuses herself and heads to her bedroom.

"What about?" Robbie asks. Jade tilts her head and gives him a look that says, you-know-what-I-want-to-talk-about. "Right, stupid question."

"I really like you a lot Robbie, I may not have known you well when this started… and now that I know you better, I want to know more"

"You mean that?" He asks, and she nods. "How long have you been here?"

"A while," she answers.

"You missed the prom?"

"Partly," she says, "I gave my crown to Tori."

"Yeah, I noticed that."

"What do you say we give us a chance, Robbie?" Jade asks

"No more lies?" He says.

"No more," She says, and Robbie's eyes darkened. He took her face in his hands and pulled Jade close and kissed her. It was a kiss such as she had never experienced before.

End
