Tori POV

Me and Beck head to the Asphalt Café. We were close enough to each other that our hands kept bumping into each other. Beck was still a bit shock about the whole Jackson situation. "Serves him right for getting all caveman on me...even though a small part of me does find it really attractive." I thought to myself while I bite my lip.

As we are walking, I notice that Beck is kinda being quiet next to me. I look up at his face to see that he look like that he is having an intense battle with himself. I nudge him with my elbow and that seems to wake him from whatever Hypno spell he was under, "Hey, are you okay?" I ask worriedly.

He nods his head and smile, "Yeah, I'm great. I'm just thinking about some stuff. Nothing to worry your pretty little head over." I raise my eyebrow at him, not believing a word he is saying but I don't want to push it while we are out in public. Maybe I can get Jade to talk to him.

We go order our food at the food truck. I got a turkey wrap while Beck picks out a burrito. We walk over to our normal table, Jade and Cat already beat us to the table. Cat greeted us with excited 'hey's' while Jade just gives us a quick nod. Jade takes one look at us and I can tell that she knew something was up but she didn't comment on it. I sat down in between Cat and Jade while Beck sat down Jade's other side. They share a quick kiss on the lips. I had to look away and mentally sigh, "We agree to wait on this but that doesn't mean that this doesn't suck."

Sensing my thoughts, I felt Jade's hand give my knee a quick squeeze. Cat completely oblivious to everything was talking about a song that André wrote for her in mind and that she's thinking of putting a video of her singing it on TheSlap with the help of André and Robbie.

"Wow Cat, that sounds awesome. I can't wait to hear it." I said, feeling genuinely happy. "It's great to hear good news from other people. I can't wait until the three of us are ready to share our good news." I smile.

A few minutes later, André and Robbie were walking up to the table and from what I can hear, I'm pretty sure that it's about Cat's song. They greeted us as they sat down, Robbie kissing Cat on the cheek, and they went back to their conversation with Cat joining in once and while. Beck and Jade seem to be in their own bubble, talking about something that I can't hear. I'm not going to pry into the conversation, "I just hope that they will share with me later."

I was deep in thought and I push my hair behind my ear. That seems to set off a chain reaction because Cat looks over at me the same time I move my hair. "Tori, you still haven't told us how you got those hickeys." Everybody at our table turns to us, seeming to be interested in our conversation. Cat, Robbie, and André look super intered. Beck raises his eyebrow and Jade just look bored.

I sigh, "Fine, I'll tell you guys." Beck and Jade's eyes sparkle with interest. Cat, Robbie, and André leaned in. "I been seeing this guy...but we want to keep quiet about it. Over the weekend, he came over and we hang out. So there, that is where these came from." I said while pointing at my neck, "Happy now?"

My answer seems to appease Cat and Robbie because they went back to talking and their lunch. Unfortunately, my answer caused more questions out of André.

"C'mon girl, spill. Who is this secretive guy? What's his name?" He leaned in closer causing Robbie and Cat to push over towards me.

"You guys don't know him...he is from...Northridge. His name is Derek." I stumble over my words.

"Northridge, huh? How did you guys meet exactly?" Jade chimes in. I give her a glare and a silent "Really?" She smirks at me, knowing the exact torture I'm being put through. I bump her leg with my leg in retaliation.

I sigh, "We met at...Frank's Cupcake. We bump into each other, I accidentally smudge some icing on his shirt. I help him clean it up and then we just sat down and started to talk."

I went back to eating my turkey wrap while changing the subject to something else. Luckily, it really works this time. I let out a sigh of relief. The rest of lunch went on like any normal day.

When lunch ended, we headed to the last class of the day. We all have the last class together, which is Sikowitz's class. I got in my normal seat in between Cat and André near the front, Robbie next to Cat, and Beck and Jade near the back like they normally are. Today's class went on like normal...and by normal, I mean Sikowitz had us do a weird improv skit that made no sense but somehow, we pull through and made it work.

Cat turned to me as we head out of class, "Hey Tori, can I come? I haven't seen you all weekend and I want to hang out."

"Sure Cat, do you need a ride?" I smile at her and she nods her head. I ask the rest of the gang if they want to come over too but André had to go home and finish up the final touches to Cat's song, Robbie going along with him. Jade and Beck said that they can't, they have some plans for today. They had that serious look on their faces like they did at lunch. My heart pounding in my chest, "What do they have planned? Does it have anything to do with me? What's going on?"

I nod my head, "Okay" We start to go our separate ways until Jade calls me over. I give Cat my car keys and tell her that I'll meet her at my car. She eagerly nods her head, grabs my keys from my hand and skips to my car.

When Cat was out of sight, Jade drag me to the janitor closet with Beck following behind. As soon as the door closed and locked, Jade pull me into a deep kiss. Once she is done, Beck spins me around and did the same. About time he pulls away, my knees were weak.

"What was that for?" I said breathlessly.

"That is to say stop with the overthinking, we are not giving you or this relationship up," Jade says while holding my hand. Beck nodding along with her while he got his arm around me.

Her words surprised me, "What?...How?" I couldn't form any sentences but they knew exactly what I'm trying to say.

"Tori, you wear your heart on your sleeve and you are an open book," Beck answer my question. "We just need to clear some things up with you but we need the time to get our thoughts in order. Can you please be patient with us." His eyes are begging me to understand. Jade's a bit more guarded but I can tell that she is feeling the same way.

I give them a soft smile and nod my head, "Of course, I can."

They give me bright smiles and hug and kiss me. After a while, we left the janitor closet and said our goodbyes. I head towards my car while they head towards Jade's car.

Hey, so I hope you guys don't mind that I shorten the number of classes the gang has at school. I didn't want to spend so much time at the school and I figure since it's a performing arts school, that they wouldn't have a ton of classes anyways. If performing arts school do have a normal number of classes then just take this with a grain of salt.
