AN: Chapter 4 of my Rade fic :D Group interaction! Please REVIEW IT!

I'm a proud member of R.A.B.B.I. :)

Jade was glad that she didn't dream that night. Because in her sleep she couldn't feel the pain. At the minute she woke up, all of it came back. The kind of pain that Jade wasn't used to deal with it. But she was forced to learn how to deal with it because in 40 minutes she was in school, looking at Beck. Right there she called herself the best actress in the world because her face didn't showed at all what she was feeling. And it was convincing because Beck didn't seem to notice a thing. If he only knew how much she wanted to stay away from him right now and be in the arms of a boy who had a curly fro hair. In her mind that was so wrong and so right at the same time.

Just as this thought was crossing her mind, the one and only Robbie Shapiro appeared at their table. "Hey guys" he said in a voice that wasn't his normal excited one. He wasn't with Rex. All of them replied, even Jade, but in a whisper. She was holding everything in her to not look at him. But instinct took over as she tried a glare at him. Robbie chose that moment to do the exact same thing.

Their eyes locked for a second and then both of them looked down right away. But to them it felt like they were staring at each other for hours. Confusion and embarrassment was written all over their faces, but luckily no one seemed to notice. At least that's what they thought. Tori Vega had a good eye for suspicious things and was good at not letting people know about that talent. When she saw practically the same expression on Robbie and Jade's faces she knew something was wrong. And she was going to find out what it was.

Her thoughts were interrupted when Andre asked Robbie "Hey, are you okay man? Yesterday you seemed like you were spacing out at class and you left as soon as the bell rung. And where's Rex?" Robbie replied quicly "Nah, I'm okay today. I don't know where my head was yesterday, I think I did a very stupid thing but I'm alright now. And I think it's time to start letting Rex go, I gotta focus on more important things right now" With that he looked at Jade who was looking everywhere but him. But she wasn't deaf. She heard him telling he did a stupid thing and she knew what it was. She just didn't want to believe it.

Andre thought that was a good answer so he nodded and continued to eat his food. Cat was distracted (of course) with her pear phone, playing some game and giggling away. Beck was talking to Andre now. So to not miss a step, Tori asked, trying to sound innocent

"So Robbie, what was the stupid thing you did?" Robbie eyed her suspiciously, trying to figure out what she really wanted behind that baby smile. He was surprised when he replied so fast "Oh, I just had a fight with a friend. I was a big jerk and still that person apologized to me when I was the one who should be apologizing." Tori heard that and nodded, trying to put the pieces together, only to find out that she had no pieces. Not yet.

Jade not only heard, she also felt it. He thought he was the one who needed to apologize. Immediatly, a warm feeling spread across her chest, and she fought so hard to not get up and jump on him, giving him a big hug. So the "stupid thing" he did was not the kiss. Jade knew she shouldn't, but she felt happy to know that it did meant something to him. That was good to at least make her tolerate the day ahead.

Robbie didn't know if he should get worried about Tori, but he was going to keep his Tori-radar alert on. The girl was definitely on to something. All of his thoughts vanished when he looked across the table and saw Jade with her head down, but not down enough for him to not notice the small smile that was on her lips. Her lips turned into the familiar evil smirk when she looked back up and said while getting up to leave "Well, I'm sure as hell not gonna miss that damn puppet. But if you give him to me, I promise to make a nice sweater with his hair" and with that she left, not bothering to call Beck. Now that she wasn't looking at the group the small smile was back on her face.

Robbie, for some strange reason, chuckled at Jade's comment. That was what set off Tori. She was definitely going to have a talk with Robbie. She thought it was the safer choice, Jade could really hurt her. So as Robbie was walking alone to Sikowitz's class he felt a hand on the collar of his shirt, forcing him to enter the janitor's closet, which was quickly becoming a popular place in that school. Half-hoping it would be Jade, he turned around to meet Tori's slightly smaller frame. Tori's eyes were hard and serious. Robbie's theory that she was on to something was actually now a fact.

After a couple of seconds he asked "Okay Tori, what are you doing?"

"You are gonna tell me what's going on between you and Jade right now! The weird looks, the weird response you gave me, you laughing when she said that about Rex... Seriously Robbie, what's going on?"

Robbie didn't know if he should be shocked or amazed. Because Tori Vega actually figured it out, or was trying to, and that only took a couple of minutes. That girl had a great eye for suspicious things. But trying to sound convincing he said "I don't know what are you talking about, there's nothing going on between me and Jade, I just laughed at a thing she said, why is that bad?" Tori looked a little out of place but responded anyway "There's nothing wrong about that, it's just... weird. She made a mean comment about Rex and you didn't said anything! And don't lie to me, I saw the looks you shared!"

Tori realized she was sounding like a jealous girlfriend. Blushing a little bit she continued "Look, I just want to look out for you, I'm your friend and that's what friends do. I just don't want to see you getting hurt." Robbie was touched by that. For some reason he trusted Tori's words. He believed in her when she said she was his friend and that she didn't want him to get hurt. Robbie said in a low voice "Look, thank you for looking out for me, not a lot of people do that, so it really means a lot. But there's nothing going on between me and Jade so you don't need to worry okay?". With that, he slowly got closer to her and embraced her in a hug. She returned the hug, holding as tight as she could at his waist. She only stopped when he said he couldn't breath.

They walked out of the closet together, both smiling at each other as they went to Sikowitz's class. Their shoulders were a lot closer than ever before.
