Playing with the Alphabet:
Beck and Jade
**I is for Intervention**
It was official.
Beck hated people.
And yea, that was a very 'Jade' like thing to think. Maybe he was suffering Jade withdrawal, and to make up for it, Beck had to add negativity in his life. Or perhaps, he had finally realized the truth Jade knew all along; people were mentally challenged. All of them, not just the official ones who had real reasons for the way they acted (since it was medical).
Okay, not all of them. Beck was mainly talking about Hayley Ferguson. Oh, he didn't really hate her (Beck hardly hated anyone), but...
"So, I heard you and that Goth-chick finally broke up." The brunette plopped into the chair across from Beck. Maybe she thought he had wanted the company. Honestly, Beck was sure he looked like he needed it. Coming to Karaoke-Dokie by himself... it must've looked like he was trying to meet someone. In truth, the actor had only came to get some buffalo nuggets. Instead, he had to deal with Hayley. Hurrah.
"Where'd you hear that from?" Beck asked, because he was actually curious. The girl didn't go to Hollywood Arts, and certainly didn't seem like the type to go out of her way and keep tabs on guys...
"You know that girl with the bloody gums we were tricked to taking care of?" Hayley asked as she took a sip from her glass. Beck grinned inwardly. Ah, Trina. "Yeah, well, she isn't that bad once you get passed the moaning. She and Tara became, like, real good friends and when you dumped your little girlfriend, she told us." Beck's ears twitched.
"It was more of a mutual thing," Beck tried to explain. Even though it kind of wasn't. Kind of. But in a way, it was. If Jade hadn't dangled the way out in front of his face, they might've still been together. Beck might've still had the chance to apologize for the mean stuff he had said...
"That's not what I heard," Hayley said in her sing-songy voice. Beck said nothing, just focused on the person singing on stage. Perhaps if he pretended Hayley wasn't there, she'd go away. "I recently dumped my jerk boyfriend." Perhaps she wouldn't. Perhaps Hayley was like a rash that wouldn't go away without some kind of special cream. The only "cream" he could think of was Jade. She was always good at deflecting annoying girls.
Man, he missed Jade (for a lot more reasons than fan-girl-repelling).
"That's nice." Wait, that was a dumb thing to say. Hayley would think he was glad she was single.
"Really? Cool. Maybe we could get together some time and-"
"Hayley, right?" Her eyes brightened at the recognition. "I'm sure you're a sweet girl and all, but I'm not that interested in dating right now." That sounded mature. And he hadn't insulted her. Two points for Beck! Who said he didn't know how to keep girls happy (well, besides Jade)?
"Well... why not? You don't have a girlfriend. Nothing's stopping us from being together!" Except the small fact that Beck really didn't like Hayley. "Dude, I'm sorry, but I'm a lot of a better girlfriend than Jade will ever be. Like, she's all dark and creepy and mean. I'm hot and nice and talented. You'd be a lot better off with a girl like-" Hayley stopped at Beck's amused expression. "What?" Hayley asked. Beck didn't even have a chance to warn her before Jade West, dressed as darkly as ever, plopped into the seat beside Beck and glared up at Hayley.
Literal pieces of hellfire shone behind her eyes, too.
"Bye." It was unusually sweet, Jade's one-word-response. Something that threw Hayley off completely.
"Huh?" Jade continued smiling up at Hayley (still looking ferocious and blood thirsty, mind you).
"I said bye!" And this time, Jade sounded ready to gut Hayley alive. Which is why the brunette took hasty steps away from the table. Jade smiled triumphantly as she took Beck's soda and drank from it. Beck cast Jade a curious look, one she merely shrugged off. "What? You obviously needed help, so I butted in. Duh."
"No... I was actually wondering why you were drinking my soda." Jade smirked around the straw.
"Because you owe me, idiot. Now buy some food, I'm starving." Beck did as he was told, a little confused by this somewhat date he and his ex were having. But then, he wasn't about to complain about any time alone with Jade.
Cuz he kinda sorta missed her like crazy.
Oh my God, sorry for my little absence but school is starting freaking TOMORROW and the preparations and things I had to attend ate up my time. Basically I'm behind in everything :P short update for you guys because you deserve it!
