I'm glad you like it so far, and I'll try not to make it too sad although I can't
make any promises. This is the chapter where Jade comes into it, I hope I did her okay?
I was trying to stay in character but I will probably go more out of character than in character.

Two months later…
Chapter One: First day
Tori's POV:
It's hard living without Trina, especially when I'm at my lowest points. Sometimes I actually forget that she's dead and I go to her old bedroom but it's always empty. I've even gone as far as wearing her favourite T-shirt to bed because it reminds me of her and makes me think she's actually still here.
She's not though, and it hurts. We had this special kind of relationship in fact she practically raised me. Our parents were always busy with work or with their mini vacations and would leave us with the nanny and when Trina was old enough it was just the two of us. I liked it that way.
She was the least judge-worthy person I knew, and I could trust her with my life. We told each other everything… well at least I told her everything. Trina had a few secrets she was holding back, it was really hard getting to the bottom of her sometimes...
*Flashback*
A year ago…
"Hey, Trina… what are the plans for tonight?" I asked, as I walked back inside the house after being out with some friends.
"Tori…. Come in here… I need your advice on something" Trina called from her bedroom, so I dropped my keys on the table and ran up the stairs. Trina was standing in her room wearing a midnight blue dress, with different coloured stripes on the skirt part.
"What do you think?" She asked me, as she did a little twirl.
"Well what's the occasion?" I replied.
"We are crashing a wedding!" She announced, as if it were no big deal.
"Really? Who's?" I asked.
"Steve's" She replied casually as she spritzed herself with perfume.
"Steve? Trina, are you crazy? You can't just go and crash his wedding…" I said.
Steve was her ex-boyfriend and he was supposed to be getting married, when they broke up Trina had sworn that she was over it but I knew better, and now all of my suspicions seemed to be proven right as she was avoiding eye contact and acting like it was no big deal.
"Look, Tori. I know you don't approve and all but honestly I'm just gonna be there for five minutes. I just need to speak to him about something" Trina explained.
"Oh yeah, and what's that?" I challenged.
"Nothing my baby sister needs to know. So are you coming or not?" Trina asked, I sighed and nodded. She always got what she wanted.
She made me stay in the car while she walked into the church and demanded to see the groom before the wedding started but I am not usually one to do as I'm told. (I learnt that from her) I followed her inside and when they went into a random room I listened from the other side.
"What do you want Trina? In case you haven't noticed I'm about to be married" I heard Steve say, his words were intended angry but he's always had a soft spot for Trina even if he was about to marry that Gabrielle chick.
"I found him" Trina said excitedly.
"Wait… you what?" Steve asked.
"I found him Steve… and I want you to come and meet him with me" Trina said.
"I don't think that's a good idea?" Steve said.
"Why not?" Trina asked.
"Because of Gabrielle… she still doesn't know about… well you know, and I can't sorry Trina" Steve said.
"Stuff Gabrielle! What about me? I know you still love me" Trina shouted.
"What makes you think that?" Steve asked.
"Because I still love you" Trina blurted out.
"I'm about to get married Trina… and besides… you broke up with me!" Steve shouted and seconds later, Trina was rushing out the door and bumping into me.
"Tori, get in the car now" Trina said. She'd never spoken to me like that before so I knew it was best to do as I was told.
Jade's POV:
There was a new girl in school today. The whole school was talking about how talented she was. Apparently she had sent her audition on a DVD and it was just her singing and dancing. Everyone had seen it and even begged her to sing in class but she couldn't even open her mouth long enough to say her name. It was odd.
"Look, guys I made friends with the new girl!" Cat squealed, as she sat down with Tori Vega next to her. Tori had long brunette hair and the most beautiful brown eyes I'd ever seen, she was tall and her skin was tanned to perfection.
"Her name is Tori" Cat explained. Andre, Beck and Robbie all looked up and waved. I gave Tori a small smile, I already knew her name. It was my job to know everything about every student here so I could find their weaknesses.
"Hi" Tori said, weakly. She was smiling but it was definitely not a real smile, as she seemed like the sort of person who smiled with her eyes ad well her eyes were telling me that something was currently keeping her in this sad state, and call me crazy I was pretty sure it wasn't the moving to a new school thing.
"So… which school did you go to before here?" Beck asked, flipping his hair as he did. This made most girls swoon but apparently Tori was un-fazed by it.
"Sherwood" Tori said, giving him a weak smile.
"That's nice" He said, giving up on the flirting.
"Hey, Tori would you like a tour of the school?" Robbie asked eagerly, Tori shrugged her shoulders.
"Uhh, I guess so" She said, unsure.
"Robbie are you sure that's a good idea, we don't want you getting lost again now do we?" I said. Robbie turned bright red. Just last week Robbie had been wondering around school and gotton himself lost, and he ended up locked in the library. Of course that was my fault be he doesn't know that!
"I'll take her" I offered.
"Ooh, can I come?" Cat asked eagerly, I sighed.
"Sure Cat" I said.
Cat and I had been best friends since well… since I could remember and even though she could be a little childish and over-excited sometimes. I loved her, I didn't have any siblings but Cat was like a sister to me.
"And this is the janitors closet" I said, opening the door to one of my favourite places in the school.
"I know what a janitor's closet looks like" Tori giggled.
"Oh so you do have a sense of humour?" I asked, she'd barely said anything since she'd been here and what she had said was words that might as well have come out of a robot.
"Yeah… Sorry…" Tori stuttered. It was just Tori and I now, Cat had found a candy machine in one of the hallways and vowed to stay there until she ran out of quarters. I swear, this school needs to be Cat proofed!
"Don't be, so uh… should we continue with the tour?" I asked, she nodded and for a breath second there I felt something… I wasn't quite sure what it was but the minute my hand brushed over hers my heart sped up and I felt tingles but it was over in seconds.
"Do you want a ride home?" I offered after school. She looked like she was thinking about it for a second and then looked back at me.
"No, I uh… think I'll walk" She said, I shook my head.
"No you won't come on" I said taking her hand and dragging her towards my car.
"Honestly you don't have to do this… I'm fine" Tori said, but I wasn't taking no for an answer.
"Yes I do, and I want to" I told her as I opened her door and swiftly moved round to my side.
"Do you really mean that?" She asked.
"Yeah" I replied, and she smiled.
This time I think it was a genuine smile and I was beginning to get that feeling inside my chest. It felt kind of like butterflies...kill those butterflies Jade!
So what did you think of this chapter? I hope it doesn't seem too rushed?
The story will have loads of flashbacks in them as well, so look out for them.
Review please, I really want to know what you think :)
