It was Monday morning and Jade and Beck were eating breakfast, chewing the soft and soggy cereal with little enthusiasm. They were already dressed, and their eyes were droopy. Jade was worried about school and Beck was still irritable from lack of sleep.

"Come on darling," Andrea said. "Give us a smile!" She tapped his nose lightly with her duster as she lightly dusted the picture frames around them.

"I would," He says, pushing his now empty bowl away. "If I'd got any sleep! Jade wouldn't stop kicking me." He looks at Jade with a scowl. She gives him a dirty look, looking him up and down.

"It wasn't on purpose." She replies, handing her bowl to Andrea. She had her angel face out, perfected of course.

"Yeah, riiiight," Beck says to her, not believing her web of lies. Her kicks didn't hurt, with her little feet – but they were annoying and kept him up. The first couple of kicks really were accidental; she was just wriggling about, thinking about school and Delilah. Then when he turned round and hissed, "Stop that! Why are you being so annoying?" She got really annoyed. He wasn't really being nasty, he was just tired.

"Yeah, I'm doing it deliberately. I'm such a pain." Then, under her breath she muttered, "Worlds away from your perfect Delilah." She was hurt though, Beck always was really nice to her, and even though she shouted at Cat a lot, Beck never did. She always tried to be nice, and now she wasn't sure she wanted to be. So she just kicked him for the sake of it.

At the table, they both just wanted to get to school. Soon, they got in the car and were there in less than half an hour. Jade hung back, waiting at the gates after Andrea had kissed them both goodbye. Beck walked in, chatting away to Jade who wasn't actually behind him.

"Jade?" He said upon realizing. Jade turned her head the other way, pouting slightly. He sighs, goes to walk off and then remembers all the times they've spent together when he sees a butterfly. She loves butterflies. He decides it doesn't matter that she kicked him. It doesn't matter that she's a pouty girl who always has to be right – and secretly thinks she nearly always is anyway – and even though they've only known each other for a matter of months, he doesn't want to lose her.

"Jade, come on. We'll be late." She turns her head at a funny angle and he looks at her confused. He knows what she wants. He walks over to her and shakes her. "Look, I'm sorry. You were right."

"Hey, Beck!" A girl, with blonde hair and blue eyes bounds up to Beck and Jade, interrupting them. Jade rolls her own blue eyes, and flips her shiny brunette hair in the sun, turning to face the girl.

"Can't you see we're in the middle of something?" She snaps, cutting off whatever she was going to say next. The blonde girl looks taken aback and steps back a few steps.

"I'm sorry," She says with a light voice. Her feathery, prissy tone makes Jade want to throw up. Jade stood up straight instead of the leaning over to one side with her weight on one leg, like normal. She raised an eyebrow in interest.

"No, it's alright." She says taking small steps around Delilah. "We were done here anyway, can't you tell?" Lacing her voice with a sugary undertone, she smiled sweetly, with a mischievous gleam in her eye. "You two have fun," She said. Beck rolled his eyes, not at all scared by Jade's threatening tone or whispers. He knew she was simply trying to scare her. "Especially you," She said to Delilah. Delilah's face screwed up, and Beck thought she might cry. Jade's face wavered for a second, perhaps thinking about stopping. Beck noticed, taking a breath and waiting. In a second, her face returned to normal and she continued. "Bye, bye!" She said, happily enough, skipping off. But as she turned in for the door, her face turned and one eyebrow rose, and the smirk on her face was obvious to Beck, whereas Delilah was oblivious.

"You know," Beck said to Delilah, "She was just being…"

"She was being what?" Delilah said, suddenly confident. "That girl is freaky."

"She's not-"

"And what's with her clothes? Has someone died? I mean I know she's little miss doom and gloom but colour would be nice!"

"I like her clothes," Beck said, his forehead wrinkling. "What's wrong with them?" Beck liked the way she dressed, it made her stand out. Plus, Beck wore dark blues, greens and browns a lot too. He also liked the sounds her boots made when she walks across the playground.

"What's wrong with them?" Delilah wrinkled her nose. "Well…" She paused. "Nothing, I guess. Colour would be nice though."

"Yeah, but she's little miss doom and gloom, remember?" Beck smiled as he said it.

"Why're you smiling? She's so mean!"

"No, she's not. Come on, or we really will be late."

Back inside, Jade was sitting alone at their table. She looked up as the door opened and Beck saw the look in her eyes. Her blue eyes were shining, peeking through her fringe. They looked at each other until Jade broke the hold, looking at Cat who was pulling her arm.

Beck sighed as he thought of ways to win her affections back. This was going to be a long run.

A/N:

So I tried to make this interesting, I hope it was okay. School starts tomorrow again so yeah. I'm updating one story at a time so if you're reading all three multi chapters, updating everyday can't happen anymore! :( It doesn't matter though; I'll still do it every week, if I can.

I hope it's still okay!
