"Hit me out of nowhere like a car crash on the street"

It had been one week. It had been 168 hours. Since Jade met Tori and she could not shake the girl from her mind. Jade deemed it rather bizare that a stranger, a simple girl, could have this effect on her. Jade was used to meeting people and it being meaningless but something about Tori was different. Jade wondered what it could be about this girl that was so special, every day since she had said goodbye. They had parted ways with the only information being their names and stupid stories of the past. It frustrated Jade, simply because she found herself wanting, needing more of Tori. She couldn't find Tori on TheSlap because she didn't know her surname, her friends had no clue who she was either. To some extent Jade had given up on ever finding Tori. L.A was a big place. An even bigger place when all you know is a person's first name. Jade cursed herself everyday for not asking any other useful information. She had learned that Tori's sister who had taken her to the party was named Trina. It made no difference to Jade, as yet again there was no way to find her either.

Jade had been with Cat the day after the party and had asked her if she knew of a Tori who was new in town. Cat shrugged her shoulders in a manner that was so Cat, that indicated that she didn't know. Jade spent that night sitting by the lake, a part of her, a silly part, hoped Tori would be there. The wiser part of Jade knew otherwise, still she reamined by the lake until sunrise. She spent her days in daytown L.A and by the lake for the past week hoping to see a flash of auburn hair or meet a pair of chocolate eyes. She was unsuccessful. She considered asking the police station a few time for details on any women named Tori in the L.A district, but she figured the Tori she knew was too pure to have a record.

While being preoccupied with her Tori hunting, Jade hadn't realised that school started in a day. She wondered where summer had went as she lay on her purple silk sheets. Tori's voice sounded through her ears, as though the girl was to her side. Tori's chocolate eyes stared back at her when she closed her eyes. She thought of preparing for school, or calling Beck for a quick hook up. Instead she opted for chopping up a bouquet of flowers her mother recieved, with her favourite pair of sciossors.

Jade parked her Camaro she had recieved for her 18th birthday last month, in the parking lot of Hollywood Arts Performing Arts School. She sighed a shaky breath as she exited her car and strutted into school, her signature 'Bitch' smirk plasted on her face, as she made her way to her locker. School wasn't exactly Jade's favourite place. Talentless loser threw themselves at her, as did gorgeous boys and the occasional pretty girl. Secretly Jade hated the attention. She opened her locker and grabbed her books that was sure she would need, a book for Sikowitz and her Math books. Just as she was closing her locker three of her friends approached her.

Cat twirled her scarlet hair between her fingers, André caried a guitar case in his left hand, and Beck followed behind, dressed as though he had emerged from a dodgy drug den. She was surprised to see all three of them at her locker, they knew by now not to approach her before 9am.

"We have news." Beck began. Jade rolled her eyes, usually Beck's news was something to do with Radiohead or Cars.

"Girl we have fresh meat this year, sisters" André chimmed in, his grip on his guitar case tightened. I gave them my best 'I don't care look' as i twirled a pen between my pointer and index finger.

"I think you'll benefit from this." Said Cat in that sickenly sweet voice that was so Cat, it made Jade's stomach churn. Jade raised her studded eyebrow as if to say 'How so' and Cat continued. A small smirk appeared on Cat's lips as she spoke "Tori and Trina Vega."

Jade felt very nerve in her body tingle, it couldn't possibly be true, could it? She had spent a week searching for Tori to finally meet her in school of all places. Jade thought it was Bullshit, too good to be true. She chuckled bitterly.

"Bullshit." Jade barely whispered. Cat smiled, a look that was too sinister for Cat's child like features. Beck nodded, as did André. Jade stood rooted to the spot as though glue was on the soles of her boots.

"And they're in Sikowitz class." Cat's voice was much softer this time, as she saw Jade's mind tick. Finally Jade began to walk in the direction of Sikowitz class, her three friends following behind. She had to see if this was true. If Tori was really here. She pushed the door opened and a small gasp escaped her lips, as chocloate met blue.
