Chapter Two

Improvs…Gone Wrong

Tori sat in acting class with Jade, Cat, Andre, Beck , Robbie, and his puppet Rex. Mr. Sikowitz stood at the center of the class room, where a tiny make-shift stage was, and was giving them instructions for the new assignment.

"I'm going to split you up into groups of two." Mr. Sikowitz explained. Tori sat in the center front row, and focused more. "Alright, Cat and Robbie, you're group one." He said, pointing to the two of them. Cat and Robbie smiled. "Andre and Jade, and finally Beck and Tori." Sikowitz replied. "What?"Jade asked. Her face was steaming.

"Let's have Cat and Robbie first." Sikowitz announced. Cat and Robbie made their way onto the small make-shift stage. They stood at the center of the stage. "Cat, Robbie, you're a couple who's disagreeing of shoes." Sikowitz replied.

"What.." Robbie asked. "Action!" Sikowitz ended. He sat in the center seat. "These shoes are the best." Cat replied, she was standing there, twisting her red hair round and round in her finger. "No, my shoes are the best." Robbie replied. The improv went on and on. Finally Sikowitz ended it. "Jade and Andre, you're up." Sikowitz replied.

Jade angrily got up, and went to the stage. Her arms crossed, and she glared at Tori. Andre stood beside her. "Andre, Jade you're the opposites, and you fall in love." Sikowitz said. Andre nodded, thinking that this will be the hardest improve he has ever done. "Jade, I love you." Andre replied. "How can you?" Jade asked, dramatically. "Because I love you for you." Andre whispered. "We can't be together!" Jade said, she sat down (dramatically, again) on the edge of the stage. "Yes, we can. Together we can do anything!" Andre said.

Then, Andre and Jade began to kiss. "Stop!" Sikowitz shouted, to stop the improv. "Now, it's Beck's and Tori's turn." He said. Beck and Tori made their way to the center of the stage. "Now, you're best friends, who happen to fall in love with each other." Sikowitz replied. "I don't know, Tori." Beck said, his voice soft. "I can't hide my feelings anymore."

Tori looked into his brown eyes. "I don't know if I can, either." She whispered. "I love you so much," He whispered. "Not as a friend, as something more." Beck replied, softly. Tori looked into his eyes. "Really?" She asked. "Really." He said. Then, they kissed. "Stop!" Sikowitz called. They didn't notice, they couldn't hear. "Stop!" Sikowitz shouted.

"Oliver, Vega! Enough!" Sikowitz shouted. They broke apart, both gasping for air. "Sorry," Tori whispered. Beck just shook his head, and he sat back down at his chair. Tori did, also. Jade glared at me, with anger in her eyes.

Beck walked out of class, with Jade close on his heels. "What was that about?" Jade demanded. "It was nothing." Beck replied. "It just sort of happened, like what happened with you and Andre just happened." Beck said. "Unlike you, Jade, I can let that go."

Jade rolled his eyes. "At least, I listened when Sikowitz told us to knock it off!" Jade shouted. "Why are you shouting?" Beck asked. "It's because I'm angry, I tend to yell when I get angry!" She shouted, angrily at him. Beck sighed. They were at his locker, and he put his textbooks inside. "Can you tell me, honestly, that you don't have feelings for Vega?" Jade asked. Beck could only nod. He knew if he answered verbally, his voice would crack. He kind of had a small crush on Tori when she first arrived at Hollywood Arts, but since then it had grown. Although, he promised himself that he'd remain faithful to Jade. Now he's having second thoughts.

"Lunch is about to start, let's go." Beck said, changing the subject. He took Jade's hand and led her to the usual table.
