Gaby's POV

I wake up to Ash staring straight at me.

"Hi" - She whispers

"Hey" - I say and we stare at each other smiling for moment.

"I guess that we should talk about us" - I start.

"Gaby I… I just don't know what this is. I mean it was so hard at the beginning, I missed you every minute, but things started to change… I…" - Ash says.

"I know what you mean Ash" - I interrupt her. "I feel the same way" - I breath in, "I've been so conflicted this whole month, mainly because I don't want the distance to come between our friendship, like it did with Beck before. I love you so much, you are my best friend"

"I know… I think that we just don't feel the same anymore, even with everything that we did yesterday, I mean don't get me wrong, it was incredible… but I just feel that we… we can't try again, I mean, can we?" - Ash sighs closing her eyes.

"Do you want to?" - I ask.

"A part of me wants to and a part of me knows it won't work" - Ash replies.

"I know that we could've been great if we lived in the same place, but like this? It won't work, we'll end up hating each other" - I say.

"And what about this? What about last night?" - Ash asks.

"We are exes, I believe that it was bound to happen at some point" - I respond trying not to sound to cynical.

"So, what about the next time we see each other and turn out to be this horny" - Ash giggles and smiles.

"If we still feel the same as we did last night we can talk about having 'this' again" - I respond giving her a wink.

"So, we are friends and sometimes fuck buddies?" - Ash says reaching for my lips.

"Doesn't sound so bad" - I say, of course, meeting her half way.

No one's POV

Monday morning at School

"Hey beautiful, what are you doing here so early" - Beck says as he sits down next to Gaby.

"Hey jerk!" - Gaby answers smiling, "Cat had a rehearsal with Andre this morning, so" - She sips her coffee, "How about you?"

"Well, I called Jade early. I need to ask her about Tori" - Beck responds.

"Wow, good luck with that, although I think it will be OK." - Gaby winks at him.

Jade walks into school and sees Beck at a distance, as she approaches him he notices Gaby is sitting next to him. She doesn't want to interrupt but she's intrigued about what they are talking about, so she hides against a column right behind them.

"You look a little… I don't know, weird? Are you OK?" - Beck seems a little concerned.

"Well…" - She sighs, "I slept with Ash" - Gaby says looking down and shaking her head.

"Slept, slept? As in… you two had sex?" - Beck asks confused, "Weren't you broken up and moving on?"

"Yeah, well… we still are… we just, you know… took a break from our break up" - Gaby sips more coffee, "God, I need a cigarette"

"No, you really don't… Are you OK though? I mean about Ash" - Beck asks

"Yes, I mean we talked about it, we want our friendship most of all, so… we agreed to put that first" - Gaby says.

"And the sex? Is that happening again?" - Beck asks with doubt.

"Only if we both are OK with it" - Gaby replies.

Beck looks at her with wide eyes "I don't think that will end up well"

"Beck it's just that it was so good, it's always good with Ash" - Gaby half smiles.

"Yeah, I get that. But you know that it could fuck your friendship right?" - Beck asks.

"It's just sex Beck and we don't plan on having sex every time we see each other. Ash is coming back for Thanksgiving tough, so… we'll see how we feel then" - Gaby adds.

"I'll just say that I think you should just stay friends, don't complicate things, it's never just sex" - Beck bumps her shoulder.

"OK fine, I'll think very hard on that, I promise, now… you should go look for Jade and… confidence jerk! It will be OK" - Gabby says joking and pushes him away.

"See you later Gabs!" - Beck starts walking giggling.

Jade is furious, she just heard that the girl she has a huge crush on had sex over the weekend with her ex-boyfriend and she is actually thinking on doing it again over Thanksgiving. She had slept with that guy over the weekend, but she had the worst time until she imagined Gaby having sex with her. She sees Beck getting up and casually places herself on the way as she didn't see him.

"Hey Jade, you are here!" - Beck says nervous.

"Clever observation, Beck" - Jade responds.

"Mind sitting down with me? I need to ask you something" - Beck says.

"I think I know what this is about, tell me, did you really think I would be mad if you asked Tori out?" - Jade looks at him with a serious face.

"Em… Well, yes?" - Beck answers surprised.

"You know we are friends now, in fact you are my best friend. I don't care, I think you should ask her out" - Jade says.

"Thanks Jade! How was NY?" - He asks.

"It was uneventful, you know stupid business dinners and old people" - Jade says.

"Did you spent time with your step monster?" - Beck knows Jade hates her.

"Yes, on Saturday morning we had breakfast together, she actually tried to be nice… I didn't though" - Jade answers without emotion.

"Is something wrong? You seem upset" - Beck asks

"Yeah, I'm fine, just a little disappointed" - Jade says

"Want to talk about it?" - Beck looks concerned.

"Maybe later Beck, I just want to go get a coffee now and get through today, so far it's been a terrible day… not you… just everything else" - Jade says looking at him trying to hide her anger.

"OK, but if you need to talk… you know" - Beck adds concerned.

"Thanks, see you later" - Jade stands up and leaves to get Coffee.

Beck looks at her and knows there is something wrong with her. He thinks it might be a good idea to keep an eye on her since she will avoid telling him what's wrong.

A week later

Tori's POV

Jade actually said it was a good idea to date Beck. I like him so much and judging for how attentive he has been lately, so kind and flirty I believe that he likes me as well.

I don't care about what people will think, I'll ask him out.

I have planned to take him to a drag race, he made a comment once about how much he enjoys racing.

I bought the tickets on Saturday and they are for this Friday, so, before he makes any plans I'll drop the invitation.

"So, you got the tickets?" - Jade asks right before lunch.

"Yes, good seats" - I respond with a smile.

"That a girl, well done, so… do you want me to distract the group at lunch so you can make your move?" - Jade asks.

"No, it's ok, we have free period right after lunch, I'll ask him then, it will be more private" - I say.

"Vega, I'm very surprised by your initiative. It's actually kind of hot" - Jade smirks at me.

"Oh Jade, if only you would've thought I was hot a year ago, I would've ask YOU out!" - I say as I give her a wink. I see Jade all confused, she sits there for a second completely frozen.

"Relax Jade, I'm over you" - I say laughing at her expression.

"Y… You… I… did… you had a thing for me?" - Jade asks me totally confused.

"Jade, breath" - I say, "Yes, last year, but then we became friends and well I moved on… Don't feel weird about it, please" - I finish looking kind of worried.

"No, no, I'm good, I just never knew" - Jade says still in shock, "Why didn't you say anything?"

"Really? You would have killed me or worse, embarrassed me for it in front of the whole school" - I respond.

"Well, yeah I would have" - Jade shrugs, "So, you're Bi?"

"Surprised?… Yeah I am" - I say casually.

"Hmm… good to know Vega, I mean we are friends after all, I appreciate the honesty" - Jade says with a smile.

"Yes, we are, so… is there something you would like to tell me?" - I ask curiously.

"Me? No, I'm an open book Vega, what you see is what you get" - Jade says trying to sound confident.

God, when is she going to come clean with this crush she has on Gaby, we all notice. Ever since she came from NY she has tried to put a facade and be mean to Gaby, but she just can't. She is always so concerned that she has actually hurt Gaby she quickly dismisses everything she has done and makes it into a joke.

I have seen her looking at Gaby in class, staring at her the whole time, sometimes she catches herself daydreaming and shakes her head.

It's funny I've never seen someone so confused about her feelings.

I known I was bisexual since forever. I actually had a couple of girlfriends at my old school. My parents caught me making out with my latest girlfriend on the couch, they didn't give a damn, just asked me to be careful, they also did that with Daniel so I don't think that it was to much of a change on their part.

Anyway I don't understand why she is so scared to admit she was crushing on Gaby, I mean the girl is super hot, smart, she is actually nice and has a great family.

"Well, you know I'm all ears if you ever need to tell me anything OK?" - I say grabbing her hand and standing up. I have to go get ready to meet Beck after lunch.

"I know Tori, thanks… and go already" - Jade says smiling.

I pick up my bag and go straight to the bathroom.

Jade can be so complex sometimes, I'll give her a couple of weeks to come clean or I'll call her on it. I mean after all, we did have that as a rule in our friendship, 'No lying or hiding things (like liking someone) because we are afraid of what the other one will think'.

I put some lipstick on, fix my hair and prepare what I want to say to Beck, I'm actually nervous. I brace myself and breath deep. OK, I'm ready for this.

Beck's POV

Tori asked me to wait for her at the Asphalt Café, we have free period, I guess she want's to talk to me privately about something. I think is about Jade crushing on Gaby, I have been watching her all week. Jade can be so obvious.

I worry about Gaby, Jade has been really mean and dismissive lately. Sends a sarcastic comment and then ignores her.

She is not going to end up well in all of this if she keeps pushing Gaby away. Gaby is definitely not Tori, she'll get tired and send Jade right back to where she came from.

I'm nervous to see Tori, I have been crushing on her more than ever and this time I had Jade's consent. Tori wouldn't have to feel bad about it, like when we almost kissed around the Platinum Music Awards.

I will feel the mood and see if I ask her out today. I have a nice movie and dinner planned for our first date. I know there are a few movies that she would love to go watch.

Oh my GOD! Here she comes. She is so hot. Wow, I like this girl.

"Hey Tori, looking great" - I say as I stand up until she approaches and sits down.

"Thanks" - She blushes. Oh man, she is beautiful.

"So, what did you wanted to talk to me about?" - I ask.

"Well, I… have been thinking a lot about you lately" - She clears her throat, "and… I would like to know if you have plans for Friday night?"

She has been thinking of me? Wow, I don't know what to say. I think she is going to ask me out!

"Actually I wanted to ask you out on Friday" - I say taking the advantage.

"Too bad, I have plans" - She says, "Oh" - I respond confused.

"Silly, I'm asking YOU out" - She takes out a couple of tickets to my favorite drag race competition.

"So, what do you say? Want to go out with me on Friday?" - She smiles at me anticipating a yes.

"Of course I would" - I smile back at her.

"Great! I'll pick you up at 7pm, sharp" - She says.

"OK, it's a date" - I love a woman that can be independent and takes control.

We both smile and stare at each other for a couple of seconds, and start talking about school and stuff until the free period is over.
