chapter 2
At the next day, Jade drove to school anxiously. She really didn´t want to go there and just hide in bed instead. But Jade knew that this wasn´t an option. When she arrived at school, she tried to lock back her fear deep in her mind and put on her usual resting bitch face.
Jade walks into school trying to look as self-confident as usual and is taken by surprise when Cat runs towards her and hugs her tightly just when she enters through the school doors. "Jadey, you´re back! I´m so happy, I missed you so much!" Cat says enthusiastically.
Jade, who suddenly has to fight back tears, answers after a few seconds, "Cat, I was just home for a week and not gone for a year or something. And you just saw me yesterday. It´s not such a big deal." Jade is so overwhelmed by Cat´s happy reaction though, that she doesn´t realize that Cat is still hugging her. Tori and Andre are already looking at her confused, standing at the lockers across the hall, so Jade quickly lets go of Cat and steps one step backwards.
Cat then takes Jade´s hand and leads her to their friends standing at Tori´s locker. Andre, who was leaning against the lockers, states, "Hey Jade, glad you´re back."
Tori chimes in, "We´re really happy to see you´re feeling better." Jade, who actually isn't really feeling better at this moment just nods and says, "Yeah, hi guys."
The four of them then walk together to Sikowitz´s class where they sit down at their usual chairs. Robbie was already there and greets Jade casually before hugging Cat a little more tightly than normal. Sikowitz enters and the class starts without Beck being there. A few minutes into the lesson Beck finally appears and explains he´s late due to a crash that caused a traffic jam.
Jade, who´s genuinely happy to see Beck, smiles at him. But he just looks away angrily. Throughout the lesson, Beck sometimes glares at Jade, which makes her really nervous. 'Did I do something wrong?' she wonders.
After the lesson, Jade tried to talk to Beck but he just ignored her and walks away. They didn´t have second period together so Jade wasn´t able to catch Beck afterwards. He was nowhere to be found.
When lunch break starts, Jade walks over to their usual table to see that everyone except Beck is already there. "You know where Beck is? I´m searching for him the whole day" Jade asked the gang before even sitting down.
Andre answers, "Haven´t seen him since Sikowitz´s."
"Yeah, me too. Where is he?" says Tori, suddenly confused.
"I had math with him last period. But he kinda disappeared afterwards" Robbie chimes in. Cat looked at Robbie worriedly. She really didn't want Beck and Jade to fight all the time again.
"Ok, I think I´m going to search for him. If he´s angry at me then he should at least tell me why" Jade tells her friends angrily, even if she really is more anxious than angry.
After searching for a while, Jade finds Beck in one of the classrooms talking to some girls. "What the fuck? You ignore me the whole day and now I find you talking to those skanks instead! Do you want to tell me something? Did I get replaced while I was sick at home?" Jade becomes more furious with every sentence.
While the girls around him stay really quiet, hoping to see one of those infamous fights between the couple with their own eyes, Beck just looks at Jade intensely and shouts, "So now I did something wrong? You are unbelievable..."
"What?!" is the only thing Jade could answer.
"You didn´t answer my calls all last week. And when I texted you, you barely wrote more than one word in response. You didn´t want to meet me. And today you show up at school again without even telling me. Jade, I could have picked you up. Wasn't I at least worth a proper greeting this morning?" Beck obsesses about his anger.
"You were late to class. And I was fucking sick! I didn´t want to talk to anyone, I just wanted to sleep and get some rest. Is that so hard to believe?" Jade really didn´t understand Beck´s problem.
Beck, who was really worried because he thought Jade wanted to ignore him last week, answers more softly after realizing she didn´t do that on purpose, "But you still could´ve called me to pick you up."
"I honestly just didn´t think about it. But you can pick me up tomorrow" Jade says softly and even smiles lightly at Beck.
The girls Beck talked to previously understand that the fight was over and walk away while Beck takes a step towards Jade. He takes her face in his hands and kisses Jade passionately. All the longing for each other flows into this kiss, when Jade suddenly pulls back. Beck pouts disappointedly, but then Jade says, "Say you love me."
"Magic word?" Beck askes back innocently.
"Please" says Jade softly.
Beck responds honestly, "Of course I love you, Jade."
"Love you too, Beck" she admits quietly.
They go back to kissing each other and end up having a heavy make-out session, when suddenly Sikowitz clears his throat and says, "I pretend I didn´t see that, when you directly go to the classes you´re supposed to be in right now." Jade kisses Beck one more time and walks away without a word. Beck however stammers something about them having not heard the bell, but Sikowitz was already gone.
