Hey guys! If you didn't read the first chapter of Tangled With Kickin' It, you wouldn't know that it was bade4nevabori4eva who told me where the quote was from first. And it was from Freak The Freak Out. Well, anyways, here's the next chapter of Music Is My Escape… and I will be updating Bori Playlist if I get some more suggestions for songs.

BTW, I'm also thinking about making a one-shot of Cece and Gunther from Shake It Up! I recently got into that pairing and I think I have a couple stories that could work for them.

Beck's POV

I couldn't believe it. I have a date with the amazing Tori Vega. Okay, I haven't really known her for that long, but she's different from any girl I've met. She's beautiful, talented, kind, and generous. That's why I don't get why, at her school, people bully her. She says it's because at school, she's the total opposite of the Tori Vega I know.

Since Tori and I barely knew each other, we decided we should go on a group date with Jade, Andre, Cat, and Robbie. We were going to a fair that was being held on a pier near Venice Beach. The date was at 11 so we could drive down and have an early lunch. I woke up at 10 and started to get ready. I had to look awesome for Tori.

I got a plain white v-neck and put my jean jacket over it. I rolled the sleeves up to a little below the elbow. I put on some dark skinny jeans and my combat boots. Sure, they're a little worn down, but they're comfortable. I saw it was 10:50 so I got out of my RV and drove to Tori's place.

When I got to Tori's, I rang the doorbell. A girl who looked a little like Tori, but slightly older answered. She was wearing sweatpants and a t-shirt, normal teen Saturday wear. She gave me a quick look-over and asked, "Are you here for Tori?" I nodded. She turned towards the inside of the house and yelled, "Tori, your date's here!"

"Just a minute!" Tori's voice yelled back.

The girl turned back to me. "Come on in." She opened the door wider and I walked in. They had a nice place. The girl held out her hand. "I'm Trina, Tori's older sister."

I took her hand and shook it. "I'm Beck." She gave a curt nod and walked out of the room.

It took all of 2 minutes for Tori to be ready. She came down. Her hair was in its natural curls, she had little make-up on, and her brown eyes were sparkling. She wore a spaghetti-strap maroon dress with layers that had little streaks of different colors. The dress went to about mid-thigh. She wore black ankle-boots with sequins on them. She had just put her phone in her purse when she saw me. "Hey Beck." She greeted with one of her dazzling smiles.

"Hey. Ready to go?" I asked. "We're meeting the rest down at the restaurant on the pier."

"Sure" She answered. I offered her my hand and she took it.

Tori's POV

Beck was such a sweet guy. He offers to drive me to the date and now, he's acting like the perfect boyfriend. He even opened the door for me when I got in and out of the car. I think I'm falling for him. He's just so perfect. I couldn't believe he asked me out. I mean he's a handsome guy who has an amazing talent for acting, and I am just the nerd girl. At least at school I am. With Beck, I completely forget myself.

We got to the restaurant and saw our friends at a table. They waved us over. I sat down in between Cat and Beck. I saw Cat wore a tank top dress that had a blue skirt but at the top had a bunch of bright colors on it. She had on blue flip-flops that matched the skirt. Robbie was wearing a red plaid shirt with skinny jeans and sneakers. Andre wore a red t-shirt that said I got 99 problems, but my swagger ain't one of them with jeans and sneakers. He also wore his Hollywood Arts jacket. Jade wore a black tank top with a black lace jacket over it. She had a black skirt with ruffles and had black tights under it. Then she had knee-high combat boots on.

We had a great lunch and had a bunch of laughs. Then we headed off to the fair. There were so many games and rides, we couldn't decide what to do first. Cat, Jade, and I decided we should play some games so our dates/boyfriends could win us some prizes. We were walking down to the game section when I saw 2 people I really didn't want to see, Stacy and Gigi Topman. They had football players with them, so I assumed they were on a date.

I yelped a little and hid behind Beck. "Tori, what's wrong?" Jade asked. They all turned to me. I gulped hard and pointed to Stacy and Gigi. They looked at them. "Who are they?"

"They are Stacy and Gigi Topman. The girls who are always pushing me around." I explained. I came out from behind Beck to look at them, big mistake. They saw me and started walking towards us.

Beck grabbed my hand and squeezed it a little to comfort me. "Tori? Tori Vega?" Gigi asked.

I came out from behind Beck fully and nodded. I instantly looked down at my feet. "I can't believe it!" Stacy said. "Nerd Girl actually has friends!"

One of the football players stepped towards Andre. "Hey look at the jacket. They're from Hollywood Arts."

Stacy and Gigi laughed. "Why would talented people wanna hang out with someone as ugly and untalented as Nerd Girl?" Gigi asked between laughs.

Beck stepped forward. "Don't you talk about her like that!" He yelled.

"And who are you, handsome?" Stacy asked while walking her fingers up Beck's arm.

Beck swatted her hand away. "I'm Beck, Tori's date."

Stacy, Gigi, and the football players burst into laughter. When they saw Beck's serious face, they stopped. "Oh you were serious?" Stacy asked. Beck nodded. "But why would you date her? She's a total freak. You should go out with someone like me."

Jade stepped in front of Beck. "Tori is not a freak. If you knew her like we know her, you would be jealous of her." Jade looked like she was about to punch someone.

"Guys, please." I pleaded. They all looked at me. "You can stop pretending to be my friends. Beck, you don't have to pretend you like me." I said as I backed away from the group. "I told you my story and you pitied me. You acted like you were my friends just to give me some self-confidence. Well, you don't have to do it anymore. I'm fine with having no friends." With that, I turned and walked away from them.

I wiped away the tears that fell down my cheeks. I got down to the beach and sat down in the sand with my knees against my chest. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up to see Jade and Cat. "Tori," Cat started, "We weren't pretending to be your friends."

"And Beck wasn't pretending to like you." Jade added.

"Of course he was." I said. "Why would a guy as talented and good-looking as him date a freak show like me?" I started to cry even more. Cat handed me a tissue from her purse.

"Because he knows the real you." Jade said.

"And the real you is pretty, talented, and funny." Cat said. I could see sincerity in their eyes. "Those girls don't know the you that we know." I smiled a little. She turned to Jade. "I don't think she's believing us. Should we tell her?"

"I guess." I put my head up in interest. Jade continued, "Look we shouldn't be telling you this, but Beck wrote a song for you. He was gonna have Andre perform it while he danced with you."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Beck wrote a song for me? "He also got the principal of Hollywood Arts to come to your performance at Karaoke Dokie tonight and see if you could audition to get into the school." Cat said as she put a hand on my shoulder.

"Really?" I asked.

"He did it so you could get away from the bullies at your school." Jade added. This was the nicest thing anyone has every done for me. I have to go apologize to Beck and the guys.
