Chapter 1: Senior Year
Okayy. So obviously, I'm new to this so bear with me if this comes out… not right. Of course this is a Jori story. I've been reading some other fics about them and decided to make my own. :P So please take note I'm a newbie at this. Disclaimer: I do not own Victorious.
Will This Ever Change?
(~~Jade's POV~~)
First day of senior year. Yipee. Sarcasm intended. Another year of the surprises in the school Hollywood Arts. It's not that I hate the school, just some of the people in it. Like the kid in my writing class that thinks he can do anything oh-so perfect. Or the girl in Art who likes to show off her amazing drawings and sketches, so the whole class can see them. Or the girl who came to this school to steal my spotlight, friends, and attention. Who has also captured the heart of many boys and girls here at Hollywood Arts. The one who also managed to steal my heart as well. You see, I am not one to fall in love with such a sappy, preppy, and always cheerful girl. We're supposed to be worst of enemies, school rivals and yet she insists on being my friend so much. Now you're probably thinking that if I like her, I should accept her on being my friend. Well the deal is that if we're friends, we hang out, we share our deepest secrets, basically what I'm trying to say is that we'll get closer. And whenever I'm close to her I feel scared. Scared that I might do something I regret like kiss her or stare at her involuntarily and scare her away. I'm one to control her feelings and emotions, but whenever I'm around her, I feel so powerless. My heart beats fast and my mind goes blank. The only thing my mind registers is that I have to get away from her. Which is why I always push her away.
You are probably wondering who this mysterious girl is. Well her name is Victoria Vega, or Tori for short. But of course, I called her by Vega. Vega is probably the most optimistic person I have ever met. She's always positive and cheerful. She has that smile that can light up the darkest trenches. And her perfectly shaped cheekbones go just amazing with her looks. Her long soft brown hair in which I'd run my fingers through while we cuddle, her plump pink limps that I would kiss until they turn red, or that outstanding, angelic voice of hers that can sooth the most aggressive of storms, and let me not forget that sweet, round ass that I'd squeeze while I do naughty, naughty things to her. Oh God, I think I just wet a little. Enough of her looks and let me get on with the great Jade West which is me of course.
I am the exact opposite of hat sweet, innocent girl. I am the Ice Queen of Hollywood Arts. My favorite color is black. You could describe me as gothic. I have coal-black hair color with some red strips today. I heard its Tori's favorite color. I'm pale skinned and I always wear black. My grades are prodigious and I plan to be a director when I grow up. Unlike Vega, I have a record at school, a bad one. Teachers and students tend to get out of my way and dread my presences. I usually give people a hard time and an even harder time when I'm in a foul mood. My best friend is also my ex-boyfriend. We both ended our 2 and a half year relationship mutually. According to our reasons, our love for each other was that of brother and sister. Speaking of family, my father is always on business trips so he's not at home. My mother is more attentive than my father. Whenever I have a bad day, she always talks to me and makes me feel better. Of course she knows about my crush on Tori. I mean my bad days tend to have a connection to Tori. Maybe a brat flirted with her, or she didn't show up to school, whatever the reason it is, she's there for me. That's about it of myself for today. Let's see how my first day of senior year goes.
I got up from bed and took a shower. After I got out I put on my clothes. A plaid black and blue shirt with some black skinny jeans and my favorite black combat boots. When I got downstairs I headed towards the kitchen where my mom made was preparing me some pancakes.
"Good morning, Jade. Did you sleep well?" she asked me like she always does. "Yeah I did," I replied. She gave me a skeptical look which meant she suspected something. "Then explained the dark circles around your eyes," she said as she narrowed her eyes at me. "Does it involve that girl Tori?" Of course she would narrow it down to Tori. "Yes it is. I honestly admit that she has been invading my thoughts more than usual and it terrifies me that I can't do anything about it," I admit to Mom. "There is one thing you can do you know, Jade. It's just the question of whether you are too scared to tell her, or she isn't important to you," she lectures me. "Mom, you know I'm scared of losing her as even a friend. Even if I wanted to make a move on her, I wouldn't know where to start," I say as I take a bite out of the pancakes she laid out for me. "Being nice to her is the first step you know. Try being a little more friendly. Well it's about time I go to work," she says as she gets up and kisses my forehead, "keep in mind what we discussed. Love you Jade. See you when I get back." And with that she left.
After a few minutes, the pancakes were gone and the dishes were done. I decided to think over what my mom said. After all, I would be late to school. Before I made my way to my car keys, an idea popped in my head. Making up my mind, I went with the idea that I should be nice to Vega to school so I also decided that since it's the first day of school, I should at least be on time. Getting in my 2015 Audi A3, I headed. Finding a spot, I got out of my car and entered the halls of Hollywood Arts.
I headed to my locker where I dropped my unnecessary books and got my essential ones. Once I closed my locker, out of the corner of my eye I saw a guy talking to Vega. All I needed to hear was the phrase, "…date on Saturday at 7 okay?" to know what it was. A surge of possessiveness and jealousy came over me. I decided to barge in and interrupt their little conversation that I had no interest in.
"Vega!"
She jumped and squealed at the sudden outburst. Which I found adorable, but if you tell anyone I would deny it. "Yes Jade? Can you not see I am busy?" she said after she composed herself. "Can whatever you have to discuss with me wait?" she practically pleaded. "No. It's…important," I lied. My mind was on auto-pilot. I had no control of the words that left my mouth or the actions my hands did so I grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her into the infamous janitor's closet. "Well what is it? You just cost me the opportunity to have a poster of Katy Perry that has her autograph on it. That boy was going to give it to me if I hooked him up with my friend from English," she explained. And suddenly it made sense. I totally just jumped to a conclusion. I decided then and there, I should start the plan I made to be nice to her. "I… I want- can we.." The words just didn't want to leave my mouth. "Well if you're not going to say anything, I should really start finding that boy with the poster," she said as she made a turn for the door.
In a quick moment I grabbed her hand and closed my eyes. "Wait! I wanted to say that I would really like it if this year we could be friends. But if you don't want to be my friend anymore, I understand. After all, I wouldn't want to be my own friend either after the way I've treated you." I let go of her hand, but I didn't hear the door open. Instead I opened my eyes to see her smiling at me with the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. "Of course I would be your friend, Jade. After all, I've never given up on wanting to be your friend. 'm really glad that you want to give our friendship a chance," she opened her arms and I knew what was coming next, "now give Tori a squeeze," she finished. Of course I complied. She smelled of oranges and lime. I wanted this moment to last. And as I let go of her, I looked into her eyes and smiled a genuine smile, and wondered. Will this ever change?
Sooo. First chapter of this story that I will update probably once a week. Please tell me what you think. Be honest because I really want to satisfy your needs. Also I think I will switch the girls' POV's every chapter, so next will be Tori's POV or tell me what you think is best. And tell me if you think Jade is a bit OOC in this one. (: It excites me to be writing this since I've never done this before. I really think this'll be a good story. Well this is where I say my goodbye…. Goodbye~ :P
