Chapter 3
"First Challenge"
Beck's POV
I woke up thinking about Tori. She's already taking me by storm. Jade was going to be in dance class today. Since she splits dance with R&B song writing, she doesn't know that Tori is in our class. Let me say that both girls are amazing dancers, but Jade doesn't do well with competition. Jade is the best dancer in the class, but Tori made quite an impression on Mrs. Practer yesterday. Tori was able to adjust to moves super fast, almost as fast as Jade.
Mrs. Practer was so impressed along with the rest of the class. Tori is already making a name for herself. I drove up Jade's driveway and honked the horn. She came rushing out with her binder nearly falling out of her arms. Before I could even get out to help her, she was already opening the door to my car. She seemed to have regained control of her binder. Once she was sitting in my car, she proceeded to stuff her binder into her backpack.
"Hey," she said breathlessly.
"Hey what's up? Why were you in such a rush to get out of there?"
"My mom was bothering me about my tattoo again."
"Ah," I said showing her my understanding.
"But it must be harder for you than it is for me."
"Jade," I sighed while running my hand through my hair, "I really don't want to talk about this right now."
She sighed in defeat, "I know, I know. You just never seem to want to talk about it. You know that if you ever need someone to talk to about this that I'm here for you."
"I know and I'm incredibly grateful for that. You know that I just want to get away from it. I will talk about it with you sometime soon though. I promise."
Jade smiled and leaned back in her seat while I drove us to school. We were silent for the rest of the ride until I was just pulling up to Hollywood Arts.
"So have you thought about Tori?"
"I'd be lying if I said I didn't. By the way she's also in our dance class."
"Really? How is she?"
"She made quite the impression yesterday that's for sure."
"Good or bad?"
"Great."
"Well that means I'm going to have to see her myself. Maybe make things a little interesting."
"Jade come on. This is her first week here. The last thing she needs is worrying about a girl who will try to make her insecure."
"Woah Beck slow down. You heard me yesterday. I said that I actually like her! Why would I want to give her a hard time? I just want to see what she's got."
I sighed realizing she was right, "I'm sorry. I'm just used to you being competitive with people you don't like and I just assumed it. It's been a while since you liked competition."
"As long as she doesn't take over your life and turn out to be a total gank, I won't have a problem with her. Just remember that I'm doing this for you."
"What exactly are you doing for me?"
"Putting my bad girl act down for you to get with her."
With that said she stepped out of my car and walked into the school. I sat there stunned for a few seconds. Jade was putting her ego aside to attract Tori to me and not push her away. Jade usually pushes everyone away from me in fear that they might hurt me. Jade must really like this girl. She must've really meant what she said yesterday. I walked out of my car and the second my hand touched the door, I heard her melodious voice.
"Beck, wait up!" Tori shouted while running up to me. I waited for her as she was carrying a bunch of books in her arms. I held the door open and waited for her to reach me. She walked in before me, "Thank you," she said sounding exhausted.
"No problem. Why are you holding so many books," I asked while taking some of the books out of her hands and into my own.
"Trina decided to do her nails five minutes before we had to leave so she made me carry all of her books and coffee!"
"Tori," Trina screeched, "why is Beck holding my coffee? You didn't give it to him did you?"
"No unlike you he was being considerate. Why do you need all of these books anyway?"
"Ugh! It doesn't matter just give them to me. You are so clumsy!"
"Maybe she just had too much in her hands Trina," I said sticking up for her, "you know she's doing her best carrying not only your books but her own. Did you even think that she was overwhelmed?"
"Yeah yeah whatever," Trina said while taking her coffee from me and taking the remaining books from Tori. She then walked off in her five inch Fazzini shoes.
"Wow. I would've killed her a long time ago."
She laughed, "Believe me. I've been tempted."
We walked to her locker talking about how she felt about Hollywood Arts. She was so friendly that it was like a breath of fresh air. We walked to Acting with Sikowitz and did a variation of Drive By acting exercises. So class was pretty boring today. Tori, Jade and I walked to dance class together. Tori, Jade and the rest of the girls went to change into their leotards while the guys changed as well. When Tori and Jade came back I couldn't take my eyes off of Tori.
She was wearing a black leotard that was a very low v-neck with a black bando underneath and she had little shreds of thread going across the top of her chest. She also wore stockings that went to about her shins with little black heels that strapped around the top of her ankles. Jade was wearing a plain black v-neck leotard with a little jacket that went to her elbows. She also wore black heels.
Tori was taking my breath away. She looked so unbelievably sexy that it was hard for me to control myself. Tori and Jade came up to talk to me. I tried my best not to comment on Tori's outfit, but she was making it very hard. We talked for about another five minutes until Mrs. Practer started the class.
"Alright class. For those of you who were not here yesterday I am proud to announce that we now have the addition of Tori Vega to our class." The class applauded and Tori just waved and took a small bow. "Tori, Jade is the best dancer in our class, if you ever feel confused look at her. I doubt you will need to though. Jade, Tori made quite an impression on the class yesterday."
"So I've heard." Jade said with a slight smirk on her face, "Would you mind if I suggest a number for Tori and I? I'd like to see what she's got."
"Not at all. I'm sure it'd be fun for not only you two but for everyone else as well."
"Well what do you say Tori?"
"Uhhhhhh I don't know. It's only my second day."
"It's not that bad. Come on Tori."
The class began pleading Tori to do it and I could tell she was having a mental battle with herself.
"Ok! Ok! What number," Tori asked.
"The opening number for Chicago. You know how it goes right."
"Yeah I know it."
"Alright then, if anyone else wants to join go ahead."
(Tori = underlined Jade= bold Moves = italics)
All That Jazz By, Chicago
They both started out on opposite sides of the room. Tori started to walk over to Jade and was about to sing when Jade cut her off
Come on Babe why don't we paint the town
Jade faced behind her and pivoted on her left foot and put her right foot out. She used her left hand to tap her thigh and raised it above her head.
And all that jazz
She lowered her hand.
I'm gonna rouge my knees and roll my stockings down
Jade bent down on her knees and moved her hands down her legs. She rolled her head as she leaned on her toes and snapped up.
And all that jazz
She stood up as two boys went behind her back to back.

Jade twisted her hips as she took small side steps.
Where the gin is cold
Jade moved her hips forward gently three times.

Jade lifted her hands to her hair and put her right leg out and lowered her hands to her side when a guy stood next to her.
It's just a noisy hall where there's a nightly brawl
Jade took slow steps forward with the guy who was standing beside her as he took steps back. She turned to another guy and took his hand.
And all
She stood up on his thigh as he spun them around and rested her on some other guy's back with her left leg bent backwards.
That
Jade thrusted her right shoulder forward.

Jade leaned back and stuck her left leg up in a ninety degree angle.
And all that jazz
Jade got off of the guy's back and the guy that was holding her hand spun her and dipped her.
Slick your hair and wear your buckle shoes
Tori rose her hands to her hair and pushed her hair behind her. She Bent her right leg then her left and her right again as she leaned forward and snapped up the second time she bent her left leg.
And all that Jazz
Three guys rolled out the two wooden bars that people use to stretch their legs. Tori and four other girls walked up to the bars and put both of their hands on it.
I hear that father dip
The girls took two big steps and squatted counter-clockwise and stood up.
Is gonna blow the blues
The girls spun around and popped their right shoulder twice.
And all that jazz
The girls moved the bars more to the right.
Hold on hun we're gonna bunny hug
The girls put their hands on each other's hips and stuck their butts out and straightened their legs and repeated it once more as they moved closer together.
I bought some aspirin
They put their right hand out and moved their arms in a circular motion.
Down at United Drug
One girl ran off and the three girls turned around and put their hands on the top bar.
In case you shake apart
Tori moved her shoulder forward and back three times.
And wanna brand new start
Tori arched back while the two other girls turned around and rested their elbows on the top bar.
To do
Tori bent down while the other two girls spun around and bent their leg over the top bar
That
Tori snapped up and stuck her right arm up while the two other girls took their leg off and turned around again.
Jazz!
The two girls walked off while Tori put her right hand on the bottom bar and her left on the top bar and pushed it forward while dragging her feet behind her.
Find a glass we're playing fast and loose
I helped Tori stand up on the piano while Jade and her group spun and kicked both their feet up and spun again. They did complicated side steps after.
And all that jazz
Jade and the girls slid into splits while the guys came sliding in between the columns of girls.
Right up here is where I store the juice
Tori took her left hand and stuck her thumb and pinkie up while the group around her on the ground bent up and down.
And all that jazz
Another guy and I helped her down from the piano and she stood with her arms up.
Come on babe
Jade came around behind Tori and put her left arm around her waist.
We're gonna brush the sky
Jade led Tori across the other side of the room with her right arm out above her.
I betcha lucky Lindy
Jade moved in front of Tori and tugged on her left arm then crossed in front of her and tugged on her right arm.
Never flew so high
Jade did a high kick in front of Tori
Cause in the stratosphere
Jade turned around and leaned backward while Tori put her hands under Jades arm.
How could he lend an ear
Tori pushed Jade towards three guys and walked away. One stood behind her while the other two stood to the side of her and took her hands.
To all
Jade jumped up and both of the guys caught her legs by the knees making her go into an awkward squatting position
That
The guy from behind put his hands in between her legs and Jade grasped them
Jazz
She leaned forward and spun head forward and came back up with her arms around the guys' besides her necks. They two guys put her back on the ground.
Oh I'm no one's wife but
Jade and her group spun around and moved closer as they did a jumping turn while Tori's group walked in between them.
Oh I love my life
Tori reached her hands to her hair and pushed it back again.
And all that
Both Tori and Jade's group went into a circle and moved to their right while spinning at different times.
Jazz!
Everyone stopped moving in a circle and stepped closer to Tori and Jade.
That jazz.
Jade put her arms out to signal the rest of the class to back away as her and Tori did their final pose.
By the time the dance was over, everyone was trying to catch their breath, waiting for someone to break the silence. Jade and Tori never broke eye contact.
"Well," Jade spoke up sounding exhausted, "not bad Vega. That was pretty impressive. Good tone while moving by the way. That takes a lot of time to master. You were able to keep up with me no problem. I'm impressed."
"You didn't do so bad either. You were really good. Your voice sounded great," Tori said as her chest rose up and down as she took deep breaths.
"Well I think we can both agree that these two girls are both excellent dancers," I spoke up. Everyone else nodded and spoke their agreement.
"Nice job everyone! Now everyone get a drink of water. Take five," Mrs. Practer said.
We all walked over to out bags. Tori's Jade's and my backpacks were all close together so we were socializing.
"Where did you learn to dance like that?" Jade asked Tori.
"I guess it was just my memorization of the routine."
"So you mean you never had any training, like ever?"
"Nope."
"Well let me just say that you Tori Vega, are a triple threat. You've got the voice and the moves. Hollywood better watch out for you. I mean you were able to keep up with Jade and that's a hard thing to do," I said.
"Thanks Beck. How come we didn't see you doing some sweet moves out there?"
"Believe me you'll see how I dance soon enough."
"Alright Class everyone huddle up," Mrs. Practer said snapping everyone back to her.
"I guess our break's over."
We put our water bottles down and walked over to Mrs. Practer and joined the circle surrounding her.
"Alright. Let me just say that that performance was amazing. Well done everyone, now onto something different. I am assigning a project later on in the week. It will be a partner project and you will get to choose. Alright, now everyone in two lines."
A partner dance project? Hmmmmmm? This is interesting.
