Chapter 2: The Assignment
Author's Notes: I don't own Victorious.
They were all in Psychowits' class, and as usual, he was giving a lecture on method acting that nobody except Tori and Cat were listening to. Suddenly though, he stopped all at once. "You know, I think you've heard enough of method acting. I have another assignment for you.
"Oh no," Andre said. "Please say you're not making us go to your house again. My grandmother STILL thinks my water was supposed to break 5 months ago and is getting angry at me for 'getting an abortion'."
"No," Psychowits said, questioning. "I was thinking more like… singing."
"Oh yay, I love singing," Cat clapped.
"Yay," Psychowits clapped sarcastically. "Anyway, your assignment is to find a song that describes how you feel about a person and sing it in front of the whole class." Jade put her hand up. "Yes, Jade, it must be clean."
Tori automatically knew the song she was going to sing. She couldn't say the same thing about everybody else.
"Oh come on," Robbie complained.
"I hate singing," a random guy agreed. "My mind doesn't think music like it thinks acting."
"Oh, come on guys," Jade said. "This could be fun."
"Yeah," Tori responded in agreement. "Give it a chance."
"But – this is ACTING class," Beck pointed out.
"So?" Psychowits was confused.
"So," Beck continued. "Why are we SINGING in an acting class?"
"Because," Psychowits answered. "In some plays, you also have to sing and – Oh, would you just go along with it?" The kids were shocked at this response, but didn't say anything. "Anyway, Tori, you'll go first on Monday. Everybody be ready then." The bell rang and class was released.
"Well," Cat started outside. "I don't know about you guys, but I'm gonna sing a song about how much I love Jade… then maybe one about a unicorn."
Jade giggled, but it was obviously fake. "Wow, well, thank you. Uh… I have to go home now but I'll see you tomorrow."
"Bye," Cat smiled. "I need to go home and find a song about a unicorn."
"I thought you were singing a song for Jade," Tori said, confused.
"Oh yeah, that too," Cat left Tori, skipping back to her house.
Tori didn't understand what Jade saw in Cat, but she didn't want to do anything to upset either of them, so she went back to her house and started practicing "You Belong With Me". This was going to be a performance Jade West wouldn't soon forget.
