Disclaimer on chapter 1.

sorry i don't have much confidence in this chapter so sorry if it sucks.


Tori took her normal seat in the Grand Theater, as she wondered what song Lauran would do today. Each day she went after school was like her own little concert.

As Tori were waiting for Lauran she thought about Jade, today was the first day that she ever heard her sing. Jade was really good, but her voice was aggressive and angry, although what else would you expect from Jade West.

Tori heard the door close and Lauran appeared on stage.

"No Danni?" Tori said, "She's probably dropped her off at Andre's."

Lauran sat down at the piano as she started to play then sing.

"I'm nothing special; in fact I'm a bit of a bore

If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before

But I have a talent, a wonderful thing

'cause everyone listens when I start to sing

I'm so grateful and proud

All I want is to sing it out loud

So I say

Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing

Thanks for all the joy they're bringing

Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty

What would life be?

Without a song or a dance what are we?

So I say thank you for the music

For giving it to me"

Lauran stopped playing the piano but the music continued. It was the first time that Tori had ever heard Lauran sing without her "main-source music."

Lauran started to dance as she sang.

"Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk

She says I began to sing long before I could talk

And I've often wondered, how did it all start?

Who found out that nothing can capture a heart

Like a melody can?

Well, whoever it was, I'm a fan

So I say

Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing

Thanks for all the joy they're bringing

Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty

What would life be?

Without a song or a dance what are we?

So I say thank you for the music

For giving it to me"

Lauran danced beautifully, a ballet type dance all around the stage as she continued.

"I've been so lucky; I am the girl with bronze like hair

I wanna sing it out to everybody

What a joy, what a life, what a chance!

So I say

Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing

Thanks for all the joy they're bringing

Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty

What would life be?

Without a song or a dance what are we?

So I say thank you for the music

For giving it to me"

Lauran's dance moves blended perfectly with the song. No one could ever compare with the talent that Lauran has.

The next day when Tori returned to school she saw Andre and Beck talking.

"What's up you guys?" Tori greeted

"Noth'in much" Andre said.

"So what happened with you and Jade?" Tori asked Beck as she walked to her locker.

"We broke up." Beck said following Tori to her locker

"I'm sorry" Tori replied

"Don't be, but hay, Tori I was wondering" Beck started.

"Hay what's going on." Jade said appearing out of nowhere.

Becks face turned cold at the sight of Jade.

"Nothing, what was it that you wanted to ask me, Beck?" Tori asked

"Uh, nothing never mind" Beck said refusing to look at Jade.

As if on cue to get rid of the uncomfortable feeling, a bunch of students broke out into dance as the halls echoed with music.

"2-step 2-step 2-step

2-step 2-step 2-step

bright lights, tv screen

feels like looking in a magazine

you heard, on the floor

feels like dancing is the way to go"

A bunch of students started dancing along with the song.

"but if you let her see that fancy footwork

ahhh, show her that you're not that shy

let her see that fancy footwork

ahhh, show her you're that type of guy

2-step 2-step 2-step

2-step 2-step 2-step

young boy, don't be late

this girl ain't really got time to wait

you think it's all for show

but this is just the only way i know"

the individual dancers soon became crews that started to battle.

"but if you let her see that fancy footwork

ahhh, show her that you're not that shy

let her see that fancy footwork

ahhh, show her you're that type of guy"

"They're really good" Tori said before she jumped in to input some of her own moves.

"2-step 2-step 2-step

2-step 2-step 2-step

hey, if you ever need a guy

a partner for a week

you point in my direction"

When she came back from her dance to stand next to Jade, Tori turned to her and said "why don't you dance."

"Cause I don't want too" Jade said flatly

"Don't or can't" Tori goateed

"and just come and follow me

we'll meet up on the floor" the song continued

"What are you saying Vega?"

"I don't think you can dance Jade." Tori said with a smirk.

and maybe do the twirk

So show me what you got

Jade looked at Tori before taking off her jacket and jumping into the battle.

"In terms of

fancy footwork-work-work

f-f-fancy foot w-w-work-work

f-f-fancy footwork-work"

Jades move were an awesome collage of hip hop moves that were very fast and aggressive.

"f-f-fancy foot w-w-work-work

f-f-fancy footwork-work

f-f-fancy foot w-w-work-work

f-f-fancy footwork-work

f-f-fancy foot w-w-work-work"

When Jade returned to Tori she smiled "Who can't dance?" Jade asked

"I've seen better" Tori said with a smile walking to her locker.

"2-step 2-step 2-step

2-step 2-step 2-step"

"Yeah by who?" Jade asked following Tori back to her locker.

"This girl I know, when she dances she is peaceful and graceful. When you dance it's hard and aggressive. So I've seen better" Tori replied with a smile as she closed her locker and walked off to class.

As soon as Tori was out of sight Jade slammed her head against the locker. "You're so stupid" Jade said to herself. Jade lifted her head from the metal locker and rubbed her forehead where the metal made contact "OW" she said as she walked off to class.
