Chapter 2: So much easier? Maybe.
Last night definitely was an amazing one for Jade. Yes, Tori got completely terrified of the movie but, it brought the good out of Jade. Chapter four in the book 'Hidden Love' is exactly how last night went, just of course she changed the character's names so it wouldn't be so obvious.
Well, she didn't really try since she only made the names rhyme. Tori in the story is named Corrie Veg, while Jade's name in this is called Paige Crest. Personalities both the same. Jade saved the draft when she finished the chapter. This raven haired girl sure loves to write, but this is definitely her escape. Her comfort zone.
She always felt so safe whenever it came to writing. Her writing always would be recognized, even by non-bookworms; had book signings whenever they would be released and published. Jade sometimes even got interviews! All just for her books. People love them.
After about two months or so, she finished the book. Hidden Love is now complete. Since she is so well known, she always goes to her usual publisher since they were in good terms. Once everything was complete and printed in multiple copies, thousands of them with hard covers and everything.
They were now released in many different bookstores worldwide. Everyone knew about her newest upcoming book. "Hidden Love, the newest book written by the one and only Jade West. Grab yours while you can, cause this book is seriously selling quick!" You could hear from people's televisions from everyone's screens, even phones, tablets, computers. If it has a screen, it definitely promoted Jade's new book.
Tori meanwhile was at the bookstore to look for new audition sheet music, they do sell them there. But as she was making her way out from not finding any good ones, that's when she noticed the big display with 'Hidden Love', with only a few copies left.
So, she picked one up. She knew that Jade wrote it so she headed to the cash register, the lady behind the counter spoke, "Ah yes, Hidden Love by Jade West. Good choice! I never did get my hands on this book, but everyone is literally dying over it."
The lady scanned the book, and placed it inside a bag. "Alright, that'll be eighteen twenty five." Tori handed the lady the money; she was good to go. Honestly, the brunette got very impatient to read Jade's new book. She never did get to see Jade's talent in writing, other than singing, acting, and dancing back at Hollywood Arts.
Jade normally doesn't really like to talk about her stories, she only says the title to her friends. When she got home to then head straight into her room, Tori fell back on her bed, and got herself comfortable to start reading Jade's new book. "Alright." She spoke to herself, opening the book cover, "Chapter one.."
Each chapter had roughly eight to ten pages each.
[ Page 1: Love? Is there ever such a thing as love? Can love be hidden if it's kept inside someone mind without anybody knowing? Well, meet Paige, Paige Crest. Eighteen years old, colored streaks in her hair. Well, she's a senior at Evelyn Arts. A girl with secrets, a mind filled with so much of them. ]
[ Page 2: It was a sunny day out, literally perfect to do anything. Though, it was a school day for the raven haired girl. Her alarm went off, causing her mother to yell. "Wake up Paige, it's time to go to school!" Paige groaned; threw the pillow hard at her alarm clock. "Ugh, mom. Can I please throw this alarm clock out the window so it breaks?!" Picking up another pillow to slam right on top of her face. That's when her alarm went off again, so she rolled her eyes. Turning the alarm off with so much frustration before getting herself up from the bed so she could get ready for school. Doing her hair and makeup like usual, sliding in her barbell piercing into her eyebrow. She put her backpack on; headed downstairs, grabbing her keys before getting out of the house. ]
[ Page 3: After a ten minute drive to school at Evelyn, Paige parked her car. She stepped inside and walked over to her locker that was decorated in, you would never guess, scissors. Seriously, that was covered in scissors, some even were stabbed into it. It was the best way to describe her and her personality. However, a brunette with wavy locks was in view at the corner of her eye, taking out the books she needed for class. Her name is Corrie, Corrie Veg. Paige just stood there, staring at Corrie. "She's so beautiful." She said quietly to herself, quickly shaking herself out of the trance. Stop it Paige, she'll never like you in that way! She'll never feel the same way about you. This is just your mind playing tricks with you, Paige. ]
[ Page 4: To her surprise, Corrie actually was making her way towards Paige with the biggest smile on her face. "Hey Paige, did you get to finish your side of the project with Dandre? He told me you finished it so he wanted me to come here and ask to confirm if you did!" Paige bit her lower lip gently. Gosh she's so cute, no, no Paige stop it! She rolled her eyes. "Well, yeah, are you going to leave now?" The raven haired girl said, giving Corrie a nasty look. "You know, why do you always have to talk to me like that? You know I'm a human too!" Corrie crossed her arms. "Uh huh, a human that is very stupid that talks like this, and who is eh when it comes to looks!" Paige literally mocked Corrie's voice with that fake southern accent, smirking at the Latina. "Again, I don't talk like that!" The frustration level is always so high. ]
[ Page 5: Paige raised her pierced eyebrow at Corrie, "And why didn't you leave yet? Didn't I just tell you to leave?" She slammed her locker shut before nudging roughly at Corrie's shoulder, making her way to the janitors closet. Once she got in, she closed it; locked it, sliding back against the wall, and stared at this. This closet always was her spot whenever she would feel down, or just whenever she wants to be alone. "Why can't I just tell her?" Her voice broke. "Why am I like this?" Always constantly talking to herself about it, breaking down. "Why can't it just be easy?" Paige closed her eyes and stared at the ceiling; curling more into the ball she made. "I wanna tell her that I love her. How she means the world to me, and how she makes me feel so weird all the time!" These words were hard to form when it came to things like this. Especially when it has to be a secret. ]
[ Page 6: A secret that can only be kept inside of your mind. "Then I always freeze up and get stuck, like I'm just in a whole other different world!" Paige said with tears in her eyes now. There's absolutely no way that things will go the way that she wants. While knowing how she even treats Corrie, mean, rude, and very uncaring. The crying continued, sobs after more, and tears streaming down her face. It's something that she did everyday whenever Paige would ever come to contact with Corrie. She always felt so bad for treating Corrie in such a way. The fact that she had to hide so much from her, it tore her even more. Paige was just scared, scared on how the Latina would react if she would find out. ]
[ Page 7: For one, it involves lesbians. Who knows? Maybe Corrie is some big homophobe who doesn't support the community. Two, she was mean to her ever since she transferred to Evelyn. Finally, who would ever want a girl like Paige? They would always swirl around her mind so often that she would get headaches from how frustrating and hard everything got. Today at school? Bad. Just bad. She couldn't handle being around Corrie so often, especially since her group included Corrie to be apart of it. She had no choice to be stuck with her. ]
[ Page 8: At home now inside of her room. There's one thing that you don't know about Paige, she writes stories. Stories of all kinds! Happy, scary, mysterious, funny, and just even flat out stupid ones too. Her goal for tonight ? To at least get a title and a couple chapters done for her new story that she plans on finishing in a month or two. She had absolutely no clue what to write though, which left her stuck. Pressing the 'a' button on her keyboard on the occasion. ]
Tori placed a bookmark inside the book. When she closed it, something seemed a little similar. She couldn't quite pinpoint it, so she just went on and spent the rest of her day at home. So far, the book actually was pretty good. Despite Jade being so mean to her throughout the years, she was proud with how far Jade has come.
A/N: Thanks for the feedback! I hope the format looks better now. Look forward to tomorrow, I'll be updating! Thanks for reading :)
