Okay, read on people.

Jade rolled over to her side and slowly opened her eyes. It took a moment for her to internalize where she was, then her eyes fell onto Beck's sleeping figure beside her. She smiled then snuggled closer to him, letting her head rest on the crook of his neck.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The couple quickly sat up in shock, rudely waking them from their peaceful slumber. Then at that same moment then heard a loud thud from the other side of the RV.
"I'm okay!" Carter yelled. He had fallen off the couch, being shocked by the alarm himself.
The alarm clock kept beeping, or better yet screeching from its place by Beck's bed. It was a really loud alarm clock. Beck reached to shut it off but was beaten to it by Jade who quickly snatched it from the shelf and threw it at the wall. It hit the wall with a thud then landed on the floor in pieces.
"Stupid alarm." Jade muttered.
"Thanks, babe. Now I have to buy a new alarm clock." Beck said to her which just earned him a glare.
"It's not my fault you have a stupid alarm." Jade countered.
"You know." Beck started to argue but figured that arguing with her at this time of day, without a single drop of coffee in her system, will just make it bigger than it really is. So he let it go.
"Nevermind. I'll go make coffee while you and Carter get ready." He said then kissed her cheek. She smirked in response.
Beck got off the bed then started making coffee for them. He then grabbed some milk from the fridge for Carter. They were gonna have to stop by a café for breakfast before heading to school. Beck didn't exactly have an RV stocked with food. Usually he went to his parents' house for proper meals and snacks because he only has popcorn, some pop tarts, a small tub of ice cream, sodas, milk, some fruit and coffee in his RV. Not really much to live on.
Jade crawled out of the bed and towards her bag where she got her toiletries then dragged her body to the bathroom, grabbing Beck's towel by the door before locking it up. She was going to take a while in there, especially with her mood this morning. Carter brushed himself off then went over to Beck's fridge and opened it to find something to eat. He grabbed a pop tart then tore it open. He then grabbed the milk that Beck had set out for him then sat down in front of the TV, which he turned on. He then quietly ate his breakfast while Beck watched him curiously. He had never really spent this much time around Jade's brother, mostly because Jade forbids him to come anywhere near them when he comes over.
"Beck!" Jade screamed from the bathroom.
"Yeah?"
Jade's head popped out from the door, her hair was wrapped up in a towel.
"Could you hand me my bag? I left my clothes." She said.
Beck nodded then grabbed her bag from where she left it the night before. He then handed it to her through the gap that she left open.
"Hurry up. We still have to go get breakfast." He smiled.
"Don't tell me what to do!" she shouted then slammed the door in his face. Beck was kind of hurt but he knew that she'll come around later. She just needs her coffee.
"But I'm already having breakfast." Carter said from the floor, raising his pop tart and milk for Beck to see.
Beck turned to face him and smirked. Carter was kinda cute and innocent for a 12-year old that lived in a problematic household and a temperamental sister who enjoyed torture and dark things.
"I meant a proper breakfast." He said then ruffled his hair. Carter frowned at him then fixed his hair.
About 15 minutes later, Jade emerged from the bathroom fully dressed and made up. As soon as she stepped out of the bathroom, Carter rushed in past her and shut the door. Jade scowled at her brother through the door. Beck smiled at his girlfriend.
"He's been holding his pee for a while and he needed to get dressed for school too." Beck said handing her her coffee.
"Whatever." She replied then sat down on the couch. Beck joined her and placed his arm around her shoulder.
"How come you cut your hair so short?" he asked her, letting his fingers run through her hair.
"Just for a change." She replied then sipped her coffee.
"Do you hate it?" she looked up at him.
Beck could tell that she was insecure about it. She would always ask for his opinion when it came to changing her looks. It never bothered Beck though. She looked beautiful in anything.
"No." he said shaking his head.
"You sure?" Jade asked, "I don't think you really like it."
Beck rolled his eyes at her, "I like it. It's different and something I'm not used to yet but you're still gorgeous."
Jade smiled at him then rested her head on his shoulder. They sat in silence until Carter came out of the bathroom and Beck took over.
When Beck came out, he smiled at the sight before him. The West siblings both sat on the floor in front of the TV arguing about the show they were watching, Celebrities Under Water. It was the most that Beck had seen the two interact with each other.
"Alright." He said, clapping his hands together, causing the siblings to stop arguing and look up at him.
"We gotta go. We still have to have breakfast at JetBrew before heading to school." Beck said.
Carter stood up and picked up his bag from Beck's couch.
"I'll wait by the car." He said then step out of the RV.
Beck and Jade just shrugged then proceeded to collect their things for school from Beck's RV. Jade grabbed her toiletries from Beck's bathroom and shoved them into her bag while Beck waited for her by the door, his backpack already slung over his shoulder.
"Get out of here and stay away from my sister's boyfriend!" A voice they recognized as Carter yelled from outside.
"Don't ever come back again!"
The two rushed outside of the RV just in time to see 5 Northridge girls scurry away, screaming and trying not to trip on their 3-inch heels. Carter was lowering his hand which was holding a hammer and placing it into his backpack. He then turned around to find Beck and Jade staring at him curiously. Beck found it kinda cute that Jade had an overprotective brother although he was concerned about his weapon of choice. He does take after his sister. Both of them carried weapons around. Jade on the other hand, was proud to know that he wouldn't let any girl, other than herself, be around Beck and try to steal him from her and she was thoroughly impressed with his choice of weapon. That was after all, her favorite toy when she was little. Oh, the power that a hammer can give you.
Carter frowned at them, "Are we going or not?"
Beck raised his hands then walked over to his truck with Jade and Carter right behind him. They all climbed in and drove off to JetBrew for breakfast. Not saying anything about what had happened earlier.
After their breakfast at JetBrew, Beck and Jade dropped Carter off at his school then drove to Hollywood Arts. It was about 7 minutes before the bell would ring for the start of classes when they arrived. Not too shabby, seeing as breakfast almost took awhile because Jade and Carter had caused quite a scene when the waitress started flirting with Beck. It didn't go all too well. Beck was just happy that they got to eat a decent breakfast, which much staring from other people, afterwards.
"They should fire her. She flirts more than doing her actual job." Jade said as they walked through the front doors of the school.
Beck sighed, "I understand that, Jade but you didn't have to throw your fork at her and Carter didn't have to tip the tray to spill all our drinks down her shirt. We could've just called the manager to complain."
"I don't care. She deserved it." Jade said then walked away to her locker.
Beck rolled his eyes and sighed. He walked over to his locker too.
"Hey, Jade!" Tori greeted as she walked up to her.
Jade just looked at her then turned back to her locker. Tori rolled her eyes at her friend. She will just never change.
"Hi!" Cat squealed as she joined them.
"Ooh! I love your shoes. They're so shiny!" Cat smiled.
Jade shut her locker then faced the two, "Okay, what do you guys want?"
"Nothing. We just wanted to say hey." Tori replied.
"Your shoes are shiny." Cat said again then giggled.
Jade frowned at Cat. Tori also looked at Cat curiously but then looked down at Jade's shoes. They were shiny and very cute.
"They are shiny." She smiled which made Cat nod and giggle some more.
"Stop making her giggle!" Jade shouted. Cat's giggling was really annoying her now. She hated giggling.
Tori raised her hands and backed up a step. She then took notice of Jade's new look. She did notice it before but she was busy with helping Beck get Jade back at the time and she really didn't pay attention to it after that.
"I really like your new look, Jade. You look really pretty." Tori said and smiled at her.
Cat nodded and smiled too, "Yeah but I miss the colored streaks in your hair, but your hair is still really pretty."
Jade could feel herself get insecure again but she made sure not to show any trace of insecurity while the two kept commenting on her new look. From across the hallway, Beck stood up and turned to walk over to Jade's locker. He noticed that Tori and Cat were there talking to Jade but she seemed uncomfortable by their presence. She looked worried. He went over to make sure she was okay. He could hear that they were talking about Jade's new look.
"Okay! We get it. It's different. Get over it!" Jade snapped, to which Tori shut her mouth and Cat squealed before slapping a hand over her mouth.
"Hey." Beck greeted the three as he walked up beside his girlfriend and wrapped a hand around her waist.
"Hey, Beck."
"Hi."
Tori and Cat responded with smiles on their faces which slowly faded when they turned back to Jade.
"What you girls talking about?" he asked them to which Jade turned away and crossed her arms over her chest.
"We were just talking about how pretty Jade is with her new look and how shiny her shoes are." Cat said.
"Just look at how shiny they are!" Cat said happily and bent down to get a better look.
"Cat, stop staring at my shoes!" Jade snapped.
"Kk!" Cat giggled, to which everyone just shook their head at the redhead.
Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!
"Well, gotta get to class." Tori smiled then gestured for everyone to come with. Cat happily skipped ahead of them while Tori walked after her. Beck and Jade walked at a much slower pace, Beck still wanted to make sure that Jade was okay.
"Hey, you looked upset earlier. You wanna tell me what's wrong?" he asked as he rubbed Jade's shoulder.
Jade sighed, "It's nothing."
"Jade." Beck said. He knew that she was feeling upset about something and he was not about to let it go...yet.
Jade let out a sigh, "I just...are you sure, my new look is okay? You don't hate it?"
Beck planted a kiss on her head, "You could wear a potato sack and I wouldn't care less."
Jade let out a smile.
"You are gorgeous, no matter what. And the look doesn't really matter to me, what matters is that you're still Jade West underneath and I love you."
Jade gently elbowed him in the gut, "You're such a sap, you know that?"
"Yeah." Beck said and they both laughed.
"Whatever. I rock this new look." She said and cocked her head to the side and smiled.
"That's my girl." Beck kissed her temple before they stepped into Sikowitz's classroom for their first class of the day.
