Alice: New chapter! I'm sorry it took a little while.
Emily: This shows a kind of dark side to Beck.
Alice: It might seem a little OOC, but I have always wondered why no guys hit on Jade.
Emily: It kind of explains why in Tori Fixes Beck and Jade (they were all terrified of her).
Alice: But I decided to take a different angle. So enjoy!
Beck's Jealousy
No guy would dare hit on Jade. Tori understood why they would want to thought. Jade, under all the dark makeup and the threatening glare, was very gorgeous. Her eyes were stunning and her pale complexion and dark hair just complimented her. She wore clothes that showed off her body and had a beautiful smile. But she was terrifying. It was hard to see the attractiveness with her sharp glare and scary demeanor. That was why guys never hit on Jade. One boy did come in mind though when it came to crushes on Jade:
Andre.
He was so in love with her yet terrified to be. It was a mix of his fear for Jade and respect for Beck. He didn't want to hit on his best friend's girl. That was just the type of person he was. So he sang to her making sure that neither Beck nor Jade would figure out the song's true intentions. It worked, and he was over her. She thought his fear was simply because he didn't want to upset Beck.
Once again, she was wrong.
Another factor was Jade's jealousy. She was known her possession of Beck and how tightly she clung to him. Only recently Tori realized that reassured Beck of her love for him. Still, Jade would always remain the jealousy one in the relationship. And she as wrong again. She would have never known if Daniel hadn't shown up. The name Daniel reminded her of Danny, Cat's ex-boyfriend… and her ex-boyfriend.
That wasn't the point though. The focus was that she still had much to learn about Beck and Jade.
Tori blushed at the sight of the new boy. His golden hair and surfer boy smile was adorable. His perfect white teeth and bright blue eyes just screamed perfect boyfriend material. He politely said hi to everyone when he was introduced. Sikowitz took the liberty of ordering Cat to show him around. Naturally Cat squealed in happiness, wiggling in her seat. Surfer boy Daniel just smiled politely at everyone and sat next to Tori. What luck! "Hi," Tori whispered to him. "My name's Tori."
"Daniel," he smiled. Their short moment was interrupted when Beck and Jade burst into the classroom. Both were ten minutes late and screaming at each other. Another fight. Great.
"How was I supposed to know the coffee maker would break?" Beck bawled at his girlfriend, who strutted into the classroom uncaringly. "And I don't check my sugar regularly, so I didn't know we ran out!"
Cat perked up, walking to Jade's side as Sikowitz watched carefully, sipping from his coconut. Jade reeled around and growled at her boyfriend. "You're just supposed to know these things! I need coffee!"
The class watched with fear and interest. Jade without coffee was like an angry bear. It was terrifying. Beck just rolled his eyes and sat down with Jade soon following. She grumbled something under her breath that only Beck and Cat heard. Cat gasped rather loudly while Beck rolled his eyes again. That was Sikowitz's cue to start teaching. He actually put in that little drama into his lesson, saying how Beck and Jade captured the class and how they needed to do the same with their audience. Tori turned to Daniel. "Sorry. They get like that sometimes."
"It's fine," Daniel scotched his chair over towards Jade, smiling. "What type of coffee do you like?"
Beck answered. "Black with two sugars."
Jade mimicked him with a childish voice but the look in her irritated eyes stated that he was telling the truth. Daniel smiled and grabbed his own coffee, handing it to her. "It only has one sugar and a little bit of cream. Not too much but you might as well take it. You need it more than me."
Tori knew Daniel probably expected a "thank you" or "are you sure" but Jade merely snatched it and chugged it. Once she finished, she shoved the empty cup back onto his hands and sneered. "Leave."
"You're welcome?" Daniel went back to Tori's side, staring at the two questionably. "What's with her?"
"Don't take it personally," Tori whispered. "She treats everyone like that. Well… I guess she's worse today because she doesn't have her coffee. Usually Beck makes it for her."
The end of their conversation came instantly when Sikowitz chucked a ball at Tori making her gasp in fear. Daniel quickly caught it but stared at the teacher with wide, surprised eyes. The rest of the class didn't react as they were used to their teacher's weird antics. Cat giggled while Jade snickered. "Welcome to Hollywood Arts, new kid."
"And he's so cute!" Cat smiled brightly, an extra bounce in her step making Robbie pout. Tori smiled. It was so obvious Robbie liked her but Cat was just so oblivious with everything except Jade, acting, and singing. Jade was trailing off behind them with tired eyes. Beck stayed after class to apologize to Sikowitz which Jade deemed a waste of time.
"Besides," she had glared at the very frustrated Beck, "they sell coffee at lunch."
Jade took her coffee very serious.
"Hey!" a voice yelled. The group, excluding Jade, stopped and turned to see Daniel walked towards them. Jade just wanted coffee, Tori guessed and that's why she didn't wait up. Daniel finally caught up but his eyes were on Jade's retreating figure. Cat batted her eyelashes, leaning towards him with a flirty look. Tori smiled at him while Robbie just huffed in annoyance.
"Hey Daniel," Tori said sweetly.
"Hi," he smiled at the group. "So who was that girl? The one I sacrificed my coffee for?"
That earned a laugh from Tori and Robbie. Cat only hyped up at the mention of her best friend. "That's Jade," Cat jumped up.
"Jade," Daniel smirked. "She's really pretty."
"She is?" Tori pouted. Of course Jade got the guy by screaming at him. Cat nodded contently as though her previous attraction to the boy vanished immediately. Tori expected Robbie to object or say she was just scary. Maybe even have Rex say that instead. But Robbie paled with a horrified face.
"W-what?" Robbie stuttered.
Daniel frowned. "She's really pretty? I'm thinking of asking her on a date."
"No!" Robbie exclaimed. "No, no, no, no, no!"
"What? Do you have a crush on her or something?" Daniel narrowed his eyes. Robbie shook his head. Before Daniel could speak, Robbie grabbed his hand and pulled him away from the two girls with strength Tori didn't know he had.
"Meeting!" Robbie shouted. "Cat, you come too!"
Cat giggled and followed him. Tori frowned and followed anyway. If this was such a big deal, she figured she should be included. After all, Jade was her friend… kind of.
Somehow shouting "scissor love" throughout the halls while dragging Daniel with Cat and Tori lingering behind made some the boys that heard follow. Sinjin had laughed when he heard the words but didn't follow. Andre ran towards the group and stared at Daniel before shaking his head with pity. He joined Tori's side but stared at her questionably. "What are you doing?" Andre asked curiously. "It's really just a guy meeting."
"What about Cat?" Tori nudged her head in the red-haired girl's direction.
Andre didn't even turn. "She don't count."
That only confused Tori further which only made her want to follow even more. Soon they all ended up in the Blackbox Theater. Tori, Cat, Andre, Robbie, Daniel, and a couple other boys were in the room. "It's Daniel," Robbie pointed to the new, muddled boy. The boys "tsked" him. Some stared at him with pity; others with amusement.
Andre took over. "So you have a crush on Jade?"
"Um… yeah?" Daniel raised a blonde eyebrow. "What? Are you guys her fan club? I have to beat you guys to date her? Because I don't hit girls."
Tori's mouth dropped open. Did Daniel think that Tori and Cat liked Jade? Okay, no. She cared about her but not like that. She didn't think Cat thought that way either. "No," a different boy, Matt, answered for her. "We are just… a warning type group."
"You know that guy she came into school with?" Andre faced Daniel. "That's her boyfriend."
"So? Getting a girl to like you is like a road. Boyfriends are only the speed bumps," Daniel analogized.
"Beck isn't a… speed bump," Robbie tried. "He's more like a dinosaur blocking your path."
Not that good of an analogy but it made Tori curious. Beck was nothing like a dinosaur. The only time she saw him angry was when he demanded to know of Jade still loved him. But that was it. So what did Robbie mean? Why was this meeting being held anyway? It was obviously about Beck and Jade but what about them? Andre sighed. "Look man, you might want to get over her or else bad things will happen to you. Beck doesn't like guys hitting on her."
"Well that stinks for him," Daniel ignored their warnings. "He should expect some competition, and I intend to bring it to him."
The boys glanced around reluctantly. "Okay," a boy named Evan sighed. "But don't say we didn't warn you."
The boys slowly piled out along with Cat. Robbie, of course, followed after the preppy girl leaving Andre and Tori. A few moments of silence passed before Tori sharply reeled towards Andre, who looked prepared to answer any questions she asked. "What was that all about?" Tori frowned.
Andre sighed. "It started with Sinjin."
Tori blinked. "Sinjin?"
Andre nodded. "It was middle school. Everyone loved him. He was really popular and hot."
"Sinjin?" Tori asked in disbelief. She tried to picture the skinny, awkward teen as popular or even hot. He even compared his hair to moss one time. How could he have been hot or popular? He was creepy too. While she was on the plane, he was in Jade's house.
"Yeah," Andre laughed. "Best looking dude around. But… the problem was he started hitting on Jade."
"Like he still does?" Tori was not understanding the point of this.
"Beck just started dating Jade at that point," Andre explained further. "Beck got jealous, so he… well no one knows what he did. Sinjin slowly started losing his popularity and his looks. Nearly broke out in tears one time because of everything Beck was doing to him. The problem was no one knew it was Beck. When Sinjin got to his lowest point, he stopped hitting on Jade. The horrible things just stopped happening."
"So how do you know it was Beck?" Tori could barely picture Beck doing horrible things out of jealousy. That was more Jade's thing.
"Because another boy started hitting on Jade and the same thing happened," Andre shuddered. "He actually moved because he thought Jade was bad luck. We knew it was Beck that time because he was smiling the day after the guy left. We never caught him in the act but it always happens."
Tori gasped with realization. "Is that why you were so scared of loving Jade? Because you were scared of Beck?"
It was so ridiculous that Tori could have laughed. But Andre just nodded in confirmation. "He wouldn't go as hard on me," Andre bit his lip. "But it's still pretty scary. He loves Jade a lot Tori. He would do anything to make sure that guys don't steal her from him. That's why we started this warning club thing. We don't want Beck to do this stuff to guys because of his stupid jealousy issues."
Tori gaped.
Andre just smirked. "We all have our dark sides, Tori. Beck's dark side just happens to be subtle but deadly."
It was coming true. Everything Andre said would happen just happened. Daniel flirted with Jade constantly even bashing on Beck a couple times and pointing out his flaws. He tried to convince Jade that Beck was clearly flirting with other girls and that he wouldn't do that to her. He tried the coffee and scissor card. The whole time Beck just acted civil and kind to Daniel. There was no sign of hatred. Tori would have thought everything happening to Daniel was just bad luck but Andre warned her.
Daniel walked in with neon blue hair one day and was constantly scratching himself especially around his groin. Robbie snickered, immediately recognizing the itching powder in the underwear prank. They were pretty elementary things but they progressively got worse and worse.
The breaks to his car, which he referred to as his baby and love, were missing. It was also heavily beat up. His parents refused pay damages because a "young boy came over and apologized for convincing Daniel to drink and drive which resulted in a crash". Daniel complained his parents believed the boy and not him. Turns out his parents were already at their wits end due to the blue hair that wouldn't come out.
His clothes from his locker were stolen, so he had to run around in a towel searching for them. Halfway through his search, his towel was mysteriously stolen. He was sent to Helen's office for running around school naked. Some girls even preached that he tried hitting on them in his naked form. When Daniel claimed his clothes were stolen, they searched his locker to find them back in place exactly where he left them. He was suspended.
The last prank was probably the worst. His naked form somehow ended up on The Slap under his own account. His captions for the pictures were bragging about his junk. He even tagged some girls in the picture which the girls' parents considered sexual harassment online. Daniel said he was hacked but no one believed him. He was later expelled and his parents decided to send him to a juvenile school. It was "the last straw" and they were tired of "how much he changed".
Needless to say, the boys simply said they warned him.
Tori still looked at those incidents in awe. Could Beck really do all those things? And with a smile on his face? That was his jealous side? His "dark" side as Andre quoted? She could barely believe it. He was a good actor though, so he could have the ability to act normal and hide his possession in front of people. What really confirmed her suspicions about Beck was Jade.
Beck, Andre, Robbie, Cat, and Tori were all sitting at lunch when Jade strolled towards the table and sat down gracefully. Beck grinned, handing her the perfectly made coffee. Jade kissed him on the lips and whispered something in his ear. Tori barely heard it. "You know, you don't have to be jealous. I would never leave you for a guy like him."
She really didn't know Beck and Jade at all.
Alice: Thanks for reading. It's not as long as the first one.
Emily: Beck may seem really OOC, but I think he might be like that in the show. He acts all calm on the show except when he's fighting with Jade. So I think there is a whole other side to him he only shows with Jade.
Alice: So that's what this chapter was mainly trying to expose.
Emily: Next chapter is how Beck and Jade met, how they started dating, and is called Beck's Crush.
