Playing with the Alphabet:
Beck and Jade
**G is for Gullible**
It was Andre's 4th of July Barbeque, and everyone was having fun. Including Jade, a girl much more used to playing the part of the bitter teen sitting near the refreshments and making snide remarks at anyone who passed her by. But that Wednesday was different. Jade, wearing dark jeans short-shorts and a black tank-top, looked almost like all the other girls Andre had invited; her hair was up, flip-flops long kicked off, dancing around like the world would end in a few hours. Why did Beck know all of this? It was simple. He had been watching her. Intently. Not in a creepy way (of course); he had just noticed that Jade had straightened her hair for the first time in a long time. So naturally he was interested.
There was nothing wrong with watching your ex if she had a new hairstyle and was acting uncharacteristically happy.
"Hey Beck," the friendly voice of Andre interrupted Beck's though process as said dread-locked boy appeared. "How are you liking the party?" Beck smiled over to Andre, lifting his bottle of soda to his lips as he answered.
"Loud music, dancing girls, and an abundance of meat. What's not to like?" Andre's brows furrowed.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Andre asked, taking the seat across from Beck. Beck shrugged.
"Nothin'. Why do you think something's wrong?" Andre wasn't amused as he tapped Beck's knee with his foot. Beck stared. "You just tapped me."
"Yea, I did. Tell Papa Andre what's wrong."
"Papa Andre?" Beck raised an eyebrow. "Really?" The deadpan expression Andre wore told it all. "Um... kay... well. Nothing's wrong, I'm just, taking in the view." Yea, that sounded deep and profound enough to be something Beck said. Andre was quiet as his eyes went from Beck to Jade and back again.
"By view you're talking about how Jade looks in her summer outfit?" That got Beck's attention.
"How she looks? How do you think she looks?" And now Beck sounded jealous. Andre held up his hands in a surrendering fashion.
"Chill down, I was just making an observation." A bad one. Beck didn't say that of course, and instead focused his eyes on Jade. She was laughing. Sure, she was laughing because she had pushed Tori into Andre's pool, but... it was a laugh and a beautiful one at that. Beck sighed inwardly. "See? You're watching Jade!" Beck snapped out of his admiration trance in a second.
"No, I'm not."
"Yes, you are."
"No, I'm not."
"Yes, you kinda are." Beck rolled his eyes and kicked his legs out, preparing to ignore any other Jade related comments from Andre. The only reason the actor had sat down and took his time drinking his soda was so that he could watch Jade in peace.
...In a non-creepy, totally platonic way.
Yea...
"So, you're telling me you're not watching Jade."
"That's right."
"You don't care about her at all?" Beck shrugged.
"We're friends." If the term "friends" was used loosely. Andre stared at Beck quietly. And then-
"Okay. Sure. I guess you wouldn't care that Jade told me she thought you looked hot today." Andre stood up, preparing to walk away when Beck caught his arm.
"Really?" Beck asked, sounding a lot more excited than he had intended to sound. Andre stared at Beck and shook his head.
"You're really gullible, Beck."
"...So...she didn't say that?"
Andre shook his head again and walked away.
Good riddance.
Beck could go back to Jade-watching.
Weirder chapter, but I figured since the 'd' chapter was mostly a Jade centric, Beck deserved one too. IDK what's up with me, I like making him act less suave then he really is.
LOL, that reminds me of that episode he "liked" Trina. The way he manipulated her was pathetic, but I know if Beck did that to me, I would be melting all over his shoes.
He should never take advantage of his looks -_-
