Beck had recovered well and quickly from the accident and was at school two weeks later as if nothing had happened.
He just couldn't remember a certain girl.
But all was well. For him anyway.
It was lunchtime and he had picked up a burrito from Festus's food truck, and he was headed for his usual table in the courtyard.
None of his gang friends were there yet, except for this girl he'd seen in the hospital and sometimes during class. Making an effort to try to remember her name, he gave up when he realized he was not going to make it and was already sitting with her at the table.
"Hi." He greeted her.
She did not answer and continued eating as if he was not there. "I said 'hi." He called again.
Nothing.
"Dude, are you always that receptive?" He sneered.
"Only for those I don't like." Jade replied venomously.
"You seemed to like me two weeks ago. In the hospital."
"I'm a very good actress."
"I do not know how flattered I am. It's annoying." He told her bored.
"Do not tell me what to do!" Jade shouted.
"Do not scream!" He shouted back.
"You do not yell at me!" She screamed back and without warning got up and tossed what was left of her black coffee with two sugars on his face. "What!" He screamed as he grabbed some napkins and tried to clean himself.
"Lucky for you, it was not hot!" She screamed over her shoulder as she came out with her purse hanging from her shoulder and a look of fury on her face.
Andre, Robbie, Cat, and Tori arrived shortly after she left with their trays containing their own lunches and looked at him with amusement. "What happened to you, Beck?" It was Cat who surprisingly asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.
"That girl happened." He responds irritably.
"Who? Jade?" The redhead asked again.
"Is that her name?" He asked back. "Yes?" Tori said cautiously.
"Good. It's better than I was calling her." He said.
"We want to know how you were calling her?" Robbie asked in fear.
"The offspring of the devil."
"That's not cool, Beck." Cat defended Jade.
Andre came back to Tori with a amused smile on his face. "Andre, it's not funny."
"Believe me, Tor, yeah, is funny." He said, then began to laugh.
She narrowed her eyes at him and he stopped laughing and whispered to her, "I've seen this movie before." "What? What do you mean?"
"What's going on between Beck and Jade is not something new."
" I don't get it?"
"You will find out."
A/N: So someone told me that I thought it was strange that Beck hadn't been worried about losing his memory, but in my story I'm going to explore that issue later! Many thanks to everyone who reviewed the last chapter and followed this story. I hope to get 5 more reviews for the next chapter (but okay if I don't, the next chapter is coming soon anyway).
