I'm alive! If I ever go this long without posting feel free to PM me or something because this has been sitting on my computer and I've just been lazy about getting it to my beta. Sorry everyone!

~~1 week later~~

Jade's POV

"Hey, get up." I nudge Beck's shoulder. We're all tired thanks to a late night caused by Tori's nightmares. If it wasn't for Beck's big test I'd say fuck it and let the three of us sleep in.

Beck rolls onto his back, rubbing his eyes, "What time is it?"

"Seven-thirty."

"What?" He tries to jump up but gets tangled in the sheets and falls.

I laugh looking over the bed at him. "That was great."

He scowls at me as he stands.

Laying back down, I look up at him and can't help but admire him. From his bed head and sleep rumpled clothes to his scowl. I lick my lips and run my hand over my tank down from my chest to the top of my thong. Slipping my fingers right under the band, I look up at him. Smiling, at the look on his face I start to slip my fingers lower only to be stopped by a hand over mine.

Looking over I see Tori looking at me. "He's going to be late." That seems to snap him out of his stupor and he started getting ready.

Rolling towards Tori, I smile. "Thought you were sleeping."

She pulls my hand closer to her as she answers, "I was until Beck fell."

I hum and scoot closer.

"What are you doing?"

"No reason we have to rush."

"Jade, we're going to be late."

"So?" I run my hand my up her arm.

"Jade," hearing the nervousness I look up at her. She pulls away and scoots up against the wall.

"Sorry."

"No, I'm sorry." Rolling on my back I sigh.

"Bathrooms free. See you at school." Beck leans down and gives me a quick peck.

"You want the bathroom first?" I ask looking over at her.

"Sure." I watch as she slides from the foot of the bed and makes her way to the bathroom.

Way to go Jade. I huff and put the pillow over my face.

"Alphabet improv!" Sikowitz exclaims loudly. "Robbie, pick your team."

"Cool!" Robbie hops up onto the stage and turns around. "Um, Tori, Cat, Beck and Jade."

After the group makes their way up Sikiwitz says "G, go!"

Before anyone can speak up, Jade in her best southern voice goes, "Golly, what a surprising group we got here."

"Hey, I was supposed to start!" Robbie says.

"I wanna say something!" Cat cries.

"Just there, you did." Tori reassures her.

"Kool-aid is my favorite drink." The others turn to look at Beck.

"Monsters like to drink kool-aid." Jade informs the other.

"Not monsters!" Robbie grabs onto Beck's arm scared.

"Oh yes, monsters love coming around when there is kool-aid." Tori inches closer to Robbie.

"Party time!" Cat bounces up and down.

"Quite right." Jade clasps her hands together.

"Rap music! For the party." Beck waves his phone around.

"So rap music will stop the monsters from coming?" Robbie asks

"Trying to stop them is futile." Tori answers.

"Unlikely a human would say that." Jades eyes narrow as she watches Tori.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Cat freaks.

"Wrong! The next letter is V." Sikowitz says, walking over to the open window and sitting down.

"Vampires are monsters." Beck informs as Cat walks off the stage.

"Why would you bring them up?" Robbie lowers himself to the floor and runs his hands through his hair.

"You're jealous he thought of it first."

"Zombies too!" Tori adds.

"Aw, I was going to say that." Robbie pouts from his spot.

"Big foot won't come, will he?" Beck wonders.

"Could one of us be a monster?" Robbie asks.

"Doubtful." Tori replies quickly.

"Exactly what a monster would say!" Jade points at Tori.

"Finally, the truth comes out!" Beck exclaims.

"Girls are monsters?" Robbie looks up at Beck.

"Hey!" Jade and Tori stare at the boys with their arms crossed. Beck shrugs.

"I'm human." Jade states.

"Jade is the only one who said something." Beck's eyes narrow at Tori.

"Kraken is a monster, not me." Tori raises her hands in innocence.

"Liar!" Robbie stands up and points at her.

"Make her prove it." Jade joins the boys.

"No!"

"Oh come on." Beck urges.

"Prove it! Prove it!" Jade and Robbie chant.

"Quit and I'll do it!" Tori covers her ears.

"Right, so how should we do this?" Beck rubs his hands excited.

"Swim test?" Robbie offers.

"We'll just toss her into a lake." Jade responds sarcastically.

We all jump at the sound of the window slamming closed. "You're out Jade."

"But…"

"T" Sikowitz replies.

"Tough luck." Jade turns and glares at Robbie before stomping off stage and knocking over the chair Rex is in.

"Ukuleles, monsters can't play them."

"Victoria can't play any sarcastically." Robbie reminds Beck.

"Why, there is strike one."

"Xylophone!" Tori shouts.

"You have played it before." Robbie admits.

"Zero clues then." Beck circles Tori.

"Aha!" he exclaims, finger in the air.

"Buddy, you going to share?" Robbie sets his hand on Beck.

"Care not to call me buddy?" Beck steps away from Robbie.

"Deal."

"Explain why you got closer to Robbie when he was talking about kool-aid."

"Friends stand near each other." Tori defends.

"Guess I have to come up with another way." Beck taps his chin.

"How about a breath test?" Beck and Tori stare at Robbie.

"I don't get it."

"Just smell her breath." Beck turns to Tori.

"Kool-aid is what I'd smell if you were a monster."

"Look, I don't think this is a good idea." Tori tries to back away from Beck.

"Mouth," Beck holds her chin, "open it." Beck brings his face closer to Tori.

"Notice anything?" Tori and Beck ignore him and stare at each other.

"Okay fine, I'm a monster."

"Perhaps you're not the only one." Beck says lowly.

"Quick! Get away from her." Robbie pulls on Beck's arm.

"Run Robbie." Beck stares at him.

"Soon we will feast!" Tori stalks Robbie. Before anything else could be said the bell sounds.

"Good job you three. Extra credit for making it to the bell." The kids watch as Sikowitz makes his way to his desk and pulls out a coconut and bendy straw.

"Time to go!" Tori jumps off the stage and gathers her things.

"Uncle Joes for dinner?" Beck asks heading for the door. The groups agrees and head their separate ways for their last class.

"Hey, we should hit the beach one last time before it gets cold." Cat and Robbie quickly agree to Andre's idea.

"Sounds good." Beck looks over at Jade.

"What about you Tor?" I look up from my plate to see my friends looking back at me.

"Oh um… don't know if I can make it." I quickly look back to my food.

"We can make sand castles!" Cat enthuses.

"I think I have to help my mom this weekend."

The rest of dinner is uneventful and I decline Andre's offer for a ride, saying I'd catch a ride with Beck.

Walking into the RV, I drop down onto the couch and close my eyes. It's not long before I feel someone standing over me. "What Jade?" I ask without opening my eyes.

"I could have sworn we saw your mother off yesterday after asking if you could spend the night."

"We did."

"Then how are you going to help her?"

"I lied. Get over it." I roll off the couch and stand up.

"No, I don't think I will." Jade nudges me back onto the couch. "Why don't you want to go? You love the beach."

I look up at her like she's crazy. Looking over at Beck for help, he just raises his eyebrow. I sigh and lean back.

"I can't walk around in a bathing suit out there!" Jade blinks and backs off a bit.

"Let's go." She grabs her keys and heads towards the door.

Beck and I just stare at her.

"I said lets go."

"Where we going?" Beck ask. Neither of us has moved.

"The beach."

"Are you crazy?" I ask again. Looking over at Beck I see he's having a silent conversation with Jade. He walks into the bathroom and comes out with three towels.

"Not you too! Are you both nuts?"

"Relax Tori. I know a spot. No one is ever there at night. Jade and I go there all the time." Knowing I have no chance of winning, I stand up and follow Jade.

So there was chapter 12. :) Sorry for the wait!
