Beck Oliver had to know Jade. He had to know her as more than a friend. Otherwise it would drive him completely nuts. Right now, it looked like she hated his guts, and Beck was determined to change it. After the humiliating thing experience he had to deal with, he should hate her too, but he didn't. He cared more about the little she-devil with every day that passed.

Him caring about her was part of what was urging him to do this brave… and incredibly stupid thing that he was about to do. Right now, in his hands, he held a stink bomb outside the girls changing rooms. He had to do this now, because it wasn't often that Hollywood Arts had PE. In fact, they almost never had it, but technically it was mandatory, so they had to take it occasionally. If he set it off, the girls would come running out, and he very much doubted that any of them would be fully changed.

No, Beck wasn't perverted. He just wanted a way to get in trouble, and make enough of it so that they couldn't just give him the benefit of the doubt, and so his sister couldn't try and sort it out for him. Beck wanted detention and he was fairly determined to get it. Inwardly, he wondered just how often anybody sets out determined to get detention and came to the conclusion that it couldn't happen very often. With a deep breath, he looked at André next to him.

"You sure?" André asked him. André didn't have much of a clue why his new friend had decided to do something so stupid, but he imagined it would be funny to see the looks on the girl's faces.

"Yep. Robbie, anyone coming?" It was finally good to have made new friends. Beck was beginning to think he shouldn't have tried to get rid of everybody on the first day. But hey, it was the first day, and he was a complete wreck.

"No."

This was Beck's time to move. He gestured to André to give him a leg up, and he opened up the vault that led to the girls' bathroom. In a moment he was up there and was very glad that it was a straight path right to the vent above the locker room. The clerk had said that once it hit a surface, it should release its gases. He sure hoped it would. He chucked it forward and watched it hit the other side and produce a satisfying crack, which sounded good. He sprung back down and shut the vent up quickly, holding his nose.

Soon, the first cries came from inside the locker room.

"Who the hell…!" The first one out was a very angry girl with dark brown hair.

"You…" She pointed at Beck, and it was quite obvious that it had been him, given the bright smile on his face. "I'm going to kill you." The girl was one of the lucky ones, who managed to get out fully dressed, as soon other girl's emerged, clutching their clothes.

Jade came out, her shirt around her, barely done up, and a vicious look of rage on her face.

"Beck!" she screamed. She knew in an instant that this was payback for her earlier endeavour. He was only making it worse for himself, she was going to have to do something worse to them.

"You know him?" Abby twisted around to look at Jade, her dark brown hair flying around at various angles, given that she hadn't had the time to turn it from a frizzy mess into something manageable.

"Unfortunately…. just let me deal with him." Jade snarled and Abby gave her a cautious look before going off somewhere.

Beck smirked at Jade, who he couldn't help thinking was very cute when she was angry. "You'll deal with me then, will you?" He put a flirtatious tone into his voice, enjoying how much he knew he was aggravating Jade right now. It was fun.

"Beck, don't push me or honestly, I will hurt you." Jade was perfectly serious, but it was hard to take her seriously when she was barely dressed.

"Ooooh…" Before the echo of commentators, Beck didn't realise that there was a crowd gathering. Well, in any school with guys in it, a bunch of half-dressed girls was going to guarantee a crowd, but they know had people urging each one of them on.

"Oh, really," Beck knew it probably wasn't a good idea to get Jade into a murderous wrath, but he was going to do it anyway. "How you going to do that?" He just needed to add one thing to really piss her off. "Sweetheart…"

With that, Jade lunged at him, anchoring herself onto his hair and tugging him around. Beck was in a difficult position. He was not going to, in any circumstance, hit a girl, but he was beginning to think that he didn't have much of a chance otherwise. Jade was fairly ferociously scratching at him, and if it had been a guy, then Beck would have clobbered him by now. But it wasn't, so this really wasn't much of a fight. Beck was just hoping that eventually something would come along and break it up.

Elle walked down the corridor, and was very disturbed by what she saw. Her brother… her innocent brother Beck, was in a fight. She could see who he was in a fight with as well; he was in a fight with Jade West, the girl that she had to get rid of. Damn her previous plan. That could wait. And she could take a detour to History anyway. Elle, surprisingly on her own for the first time in a while, turned on her feet and headed to the Principal's office.

"Jade! Get off of me!" Beck screamed as he tossed and turned.

Jade slid off and backed up a little bit. "Too much for you, Oliver?" Jade knew that she shouldn't have full on attacked him, but she was caught up in the moment, and he was such an ass. He was so annoying that she felt that someone should hit him. And if it wasn't her, who would it be? Certainly nobody else in this school had the guts to do that to 'Mr. Popular'.

"Please," Beck laughed. "If I wasn't a gentleman, you'd be in serious trouble." Despite the fact that those words held a warning, he still managed to be teasing and coy.

"You might pretend to be a gentleman, but I'm definitely no lady."

"I can see that…"

"No, I'm serious. I'm not the type of girl that will let anybody walk over her, and I'm not the type of girl that would ever go for a guy like you. It would never happen, not in a million years."

Beck flinched a little at her comment. He realised that he did really want to be with Jade. He honestly did. He wanted to be able to call this girl his girlfriend. She was just so amazing. She was unique, unlike the hundreds of other girls out there. There was nobody else like her in the entire world.

"You sure about that, Jade?" He asked, biting back the insult on the tip of his tongue. He didn't want to torment her more, but it seemed like that was the only connection that they had. If they weren't enemies than they were strangers, with nothing in common, at least if they were enemies… they were something.

"Certain."

"Excuse me, what is this?" The booming voice of the Principal came through, with Beck's big sister by his side. Everybody knew that Principal Greene was a complete pushover, especially given the fact that he was only a temp. Principal Ikner had been good, but since his illness, Greene had taken over. He was partly what allowed the seniors to rule the school. Beck knew that it was unlikely that he would give him detention.

Elle stood next to him. This had been planned out to the moment.

"That was Jade West's fault. She attacked my little brother… everybody here saw her jump him." Elle hissed in his ear, quiet enough that Beck couldn't hear her, but a couple of people surrounding them nodded their heads.

"And the stink bomb?" Greene asked.

"That was her too…" Elle made up on the spot. She felt like a bit of a bitch about it, but this was what was best for her brother, it was undeniable.

"Alright, then… Jadelyn West!"

Jade head swivelled to look at the mess of a Principal in front of her. "What!"

"It seems you weren't happy with your previous detention for your prank on Mr. Oliver here. It seems you need to have detention tonight as well."

Beck cursed inwardly. This was not the plan. He was supposed to be able to join Jade in detention, where he could actually talk to her. He wasn't supposed to get her more.

"So?" Jade hissed and Greene shook his head. If Jade didn't care, then there was nothing that he could do. As the crowd dispersed, seeing there was nothing interesting happening, Jade looked at Beck, even more annoyed than ever. Then she stormed off.

Beck headed back to class. This really was not how it was supposed to go. How was it possible that he had set off a stink bomb and still not gotten detention? He had to think about a different way. Dejected, he stopped on his walk, not being bothered to show up to Science. Maybe if he bunked, he'd get detention then. Or maybe he wouldn't… it didn't seem to matter.

To his side he could hear voices.

"Hey, Oliver!" Beck didn't respond for a moment, he just assumed that Lyla had shown up somewhere.

"Oliver!" The second time, he raised his head slightly and looked at two approaching freshman boys.

"Oliver, that was awesome." The two boys were the type of people that Lyla would probably approve off, jocks. One had a spiky hair cut that was supposed to be all the rage, while the other one, honestly… looked like a dark haired Justin Bieber. It was 'Spiky Hair' that was complementing his prank.

"Yeah, seeing the looks on those girls' faces." 'Bieber' added.

"But mind you, it wasn't their faces I was looking at." A creepy smile grew on Spiky Hair's face. Bieber gave him an all-knowing nod.

"Did you see that Cat chick? She's completely pyscho, but I'd so totally hit that." Beck felt a little bit of rage come up in side of him as he heard those two talking about his new found friend. He couldn't believe it was possible to be such dicks. Maybe this was how normal guys reacted, but he doubted him. He had to have a little bit of hope inside of him for his gender.

"Oh, and that Jade girl… I'm envious dude." Bieber said, and Beck looked up at him. His anger was rising at unbeatable pace. He was going to hurt him soon. That a-hole was not allowed to talk about Jade. He wasn't allowed to mention her, or look at her, or even think about her. "I mean, her hands clawing all over you, and she only just had her shirt on as well."

That was it. Beck couldn't help himself. He reached out and he hit the guy, right in the nose. He felt all his anger fly through him. Nobody was allowed to talk about Jade West like that. The guy looked back at him, clutching his nose which was beginning to drip with blood.

"What was that for?" Spiky Hair asked, and Beck raised one eyebrow.

"It taught him a lesson that him needed to learn." He hissed. "Now get out of here before you learn it too."

Within a second the two guys had scarpered down the corridors. Beck turned around and right in front of him was the Principal. Literally, a step away from him, Greene was standing, his hands on his hips.

"Well then, Mr. Oliver, you can join your little girlfriend in detention tonight."

Just then, Beck realised sometimes thing really do turn out like you planned, as much as it seems like they wouldn't.

More Bade! You cannot still claim that there is not enough Bade, it is honestly not possible. Next chapter will be a Jade/Lyla confrontation, and a Bade moment that I'm pretty certain some of you will scream at.

Oh, and I am so sorry, I'm late. I completely forgot about it last night, and I only remembered when I woke up this morning. Please forgive me!
