This is gonna be a Jandre/Candre/Tandre story :)

And it's set after Tori Goes Platinum :)

Enjoy!

To say Andre Harris was a ladies' man would be like saying the sun rises and sets each day; it was a statement, a fact that couldn't be denied. Nobody ever thought of him as a 'player' though, he always had the right respect and treated his girlfriends carefully.

But not even Andre himself could have predicted he would develop feelings for all three of his best female friends; probably breaking the bro-code in about fifty-five different ways.

Jade

He knew it was wrong, it was so wrong; but Andre couldn't help but stare at Jade subtly as she chewed on her salad. It had been three months since Beck and Jade had broken up, and six months since his crush first developed. He of course knew how wrong it would have been to act upon his feelings when Jade was in a serious relationship; but now she was out of said relationship, would it be so bad? Jade looked up from her salad and caught Andre's gaze- upon eye contact, Andre immediately looked in another direction to avoid the intensity of Jade's glance.

They were the only two sitting at the blue plastic lunch table in the Asphalt Cafe, which made andre believe this was his one and only chance. Scanning the area for Beck quickly,- who he couldn't see, Andre moved around the table so he was sitting closer to its other occupant.

Jade looked precariously to her left to see Andre scooting closer; she considered moving in the opposite direction, but resisted.

"Hey Jade." Andre said awkwardly once he was in his new position. Jade gave a small meaningless wave to reply, and then went back to eating her salad. He took a deep breathe in preparation. "Do you wanna maybe go to dinner with me? Say tomorrow? Nozu?" The words came out so fast that Andre wasn't one hundred percent sure he said them; but Jade's reaction proved he did. She dropped her plastic fork into her green lunch and turned to face him, a confused look on her face.

"You mean like, on a date?" She asked cautiously and uncharacteristically.

"Ugh, yes. Unless you don't want it to be a date, I mean, I'm totally fine if-"

"Okay, a date it is." Jade cut his wonkiness off. "But why?"

"Because I like you."

"As in, like me, like me?"

"What was that, Sikowitz? Yeah I'm coming!" Andre shouted in the direction of the school doors as he got up from the table and grabbed his bag.

"Sikowitz wasn't even call-"

"I'm coming, don't rush me!" Andre shouted as he ran towards the building.

Jade was confused at Andre's actions, but then it hit her. She had a date, finally. However she couldn't kick the feeling of sadness that overwhelmed her when thinking of moving on. But Beck clearly had, so why couldn't she?

It was 6:01pm and Jade was sitting on a bar stool in Nozu waiting somewhat patiently for Andre to turn up. Frustrated she looked at the time on her PearPhone and sighed when she noticed he was only 1 minute late. She was so focused on flicking through her apps on her phone, that she didn't notice Mrs. Lee approach her.

"Are you waiting for that handsome boy? The one that's like a pretty pony?" She asked Jade, almost knocking the latter off of her chair in the process. It took a second for Jade to understand who Mrs Lee was referring to, and as soon as it clicked, her face fell.

"Um, no. Not that it's any of your business anyway." Jade replied coldly.

"Gank." Mrs Lee whispered before walking away towards the kitchen.

"Hey, you watch it, lady, before I take a salmon skin roll and shove it right up your-"

"Hey Jade."

Andre's voice made Jade's head turn around so fast she was surprised she didn't give herself whip-lash.

"Hey." Jade replied nonchalantly as she sipped at her diet soda. Once she had finished her sip, she pushed another glass of side towards Andre. "Here I ordered you a drink." She told him as a took his jacket off and sat down next to her.

"Thanks!" He answered enthusiastically. "That makes a change." Jade looked at him with confused eyes. "The last time I asked you to get me a soda you refused." He chuckled.

Jade too let out a small laugh. "Things were different back then." She told him simply.

Cue the first awkward silence of the evening; it was cut short, however, when someone came up to the pair to take their food orders.

"Uh, I'll have a California Roll, please" Andre told the waiter.

"Me too." Jade shrugged. She wasn't really that into sushi. Andre ran his finger over the rim of his glass, contemplating how to start a conversation, usually he would have tons to say, but being alone with Jade made him sort of nervous.

"Why did you agree to come out with me?" He blurted out before he could stop. Jade looked up from the chopsticks she was cutting up with her scissors. "I mean, I know we're friends," Andre stopped for approval, when she nodded slightly he carried on, "but why did you agree to this being a date?"

"I guess I was tired of pining over Beck when he's clearly moved on."

"Wait, what do you mean, he's 'moved on'?" Andre asked using air quotes.

"He just has, okay. I don't really want to talk about it. He and I are broken up and I'm on a date with you. I don't want to talk about my ex-boyfriend." Jade replied harshly. Andre held his hands up in defense.

"Alright, alright! I'm sorry. I just thought if Beck had moved on he would have told me about it, you know?"

"Yeah, well I'm sure you'll be surprised when you find out what he's been doing."

"What has he been-"

"Just leave it, Andre." Jade said powerfully.

"So, you let Tori sing at the Platinum Awards, why?"

"I can be a nice person, you know. I thought you learnt that when I recorded that song with you." Andre nodded. "But I don't want to talk about that either."

Andre sighed. "Is there anything you want to talk about?" Jade just shrugged in response, going back to cutting up her chopsticks.

"How about why you wanted to go on a date with me?" Andre looked uncomfortable for a second, before he gained the courage to tell the truth.

"Because," he looked into Jade's blue eyes, "I know that deep down, you're a wonderful person that hides behind insults and dark clothing." Jade's expression softened, "And I've actually had a crush on you since we recorded that song together last year." Jade's eyebrows knitted together in confusion.

"What?" She asked in disbelief.

"Seriously. Did you not notice I was acting all wonky? I mean, who says 'via the internet'?" Jade let out a soft chuckle.

"That was pretty weird," She admitted. "Why have you never said anything about this?"

"Are you kidding?" Andre asked in shock, "Do you have any idea what a) Beck would have done and b) What you would have done?"

"Beck doesn't have a jealous bone in his stupid body," she told him with a hint of sadness, "And I'm not as scary as you think, I would have welcomed it." It was now Andre's turn to look confused, so he urged Jade to continue, "It would have been nice to have felt wanted, or... desired."

"What do you mean, Jade?"

"In two and a half years of dating Beck, he barely showed any real desire to be with me, well, except at the very beginning of our relationship."

"I'm sorry you felt that way," Andre placed a comforting hand on Jade's forearm, she almost shrugged it off, but then decided against it. It felt kind of nice, however the male contact was unfamiliar with not being Beck. "You know that song I wrote?"

"365 Days?"

"Yes, I wrote it for you."

Before Andre could say anything else, Jade had pushed her lips up against his in a soft kiss. It took a moment, but when he had got over the initial shock, Andre kissed back and bought his hands up to rest on the sides of her face.

"Two California Rolls?" The two teens pulled apart from each other at the speed of light when they heard the waiter with their order. Jade looked down at the plate in front of her and noticed her lack of chopsticks. Avoiding Andre's gaze, she leant across him and grabbed another pair.

5 minutes of awkward sushi eating later, Andre spoke up. "I don't think this is right."

"What do you mean?" Jade asked with a mouth full of fish.

"You're still hung up on Beck, Jade. I can tell, I'm not stupid."

"What do you mean? I just kissed you. I'm clearly done with him."

"Don't kid yourself, Jade."

"I'm not." Jade said adamantly before leaning forward and kissing Andre yet again. But this time he lightly pushed her off of him, which to be honest took a lot of will power.

"Okay, even if you're not still pining over Beck, he is still pining over you."

"No, he's not, trust me I have seen it with my own eyes."

"But I've heard it with my own ears, and now I feel terrible." Andre shook his head and perched his elbows on the table before pressing his forehead to his palms. Jade just looked at him emotionless.

"What do you mean?" She asked slowly.

"I overheard Beck talking to Robbie the other day, he mentioned how he was 'still so in love with' you and how he 'made a big mistake' about something, I didn't hear what." Jade was stunned into silence. She didn't know what to say. "And now I feel like the worse friend in the world."

"Um, no you shouldn't," Jade patted his shoulder in a friendly manner, "You've done nothing wrong. Besides, I kissed you... both times." She looked at the floor sheepishly.

"But what kind of friend kisses his ex-girlfriend that he still loves?"

"Why don't we just put this behind us?" Jade sighs, "You deserve to be with a girl who loves you, and loves you more than she loves any other guy," She looked up into his eyes, "I clearly can't ever love you more than I love Beck."

"I think it's best, you've gotta get Beck back, Jade. You two belong together."

"Even if he's a jerk?" Jade asked, jokingly.

"Even then." Andre laughed.

Andre didn't think his crush on Jade would ever leave, but he knew not to come between love. He knew Beck and Jade would eventually get their shit together, and who was he to mess that up?

I should have the Cat and Tori chapters up soon-ish.
