Beck had been sitting in his car, staring at his phone for who knows how long. He was honestly worried about Jade. They were supposed to go to Karaoke Dokie after school (Beck loved listening to Jade sing), but he just wanted to find her and figure out what was happening so he could fix it. That's what you do for the people you love.
All of a sudden Beck could hear Tori's voice shouting his name. He looked into his rear view mirror to see her, Andre, and Cat walking towards his car. By the time her thought to start the car and drive away, it was too late.
"Hey Beck!" Cat said, her voice somehow always so innocent and sweet.
"Hey man, tell us what you think about this," Andre explained Cat's theory of students at Hollywood Arts playing different people while they're at school.
Beck was definitely not interested and his three friends could tell. Almost sensing that something might be wrong. That's when Tori remembered who was missing from the scenario.
"Where's Jade?" she asked.
"I don't know. She left early, but didn't tell me why or where she went." Beck looked down at his phone to see if she'd texted him back yet.
Nothing.
"So, come with us to Karaoke Dokie!" Tori stupidly suggested.
Did she not see that Beck was worried about Jade and wanted to find her? Not go to the exact same place he was supposed to go with Jade. How could she be so oblivious?
Beck had so many things he wanted to say to Tori at that moment. No one would ever guess it, but Beck and Jade were almost always thinking the same mean things that could be said in every situation they were in, Beck just keeps them to himself. Jade does not.
"I think I'm just gonna try to find Jade, see you later guys."
Beck drove off, headed to his trailer. Maybe, when she was ready Jade would go there to find him.
A few minutes into the drive, something popped into his mind.
Tori, Andre, and Cat were talking about something at lunch, he really wasn't paying attention, but then Jade said something about talking to Sikowitz after school about his input on her audition tape for the school's next musical.
Beck turned back towards Hollywood Arts. He needed to talk to Sikowitz.
