Tori POV

The rest of the week went by pretty fast. It was just an average week of school, lunches, and homework with the occasional makeout sessions in the janitor closet and any private area that Jade and/or Beck would pull into. I would love to say that life is going great and I'm on cloud 9 but there is one problem…"What's Beck and Jade hiding from?"

I have been driving myself crazy all week, trying to figure out what is this secret side of a relationship that I'm supposed to be a part of. I went through every conceivable that could possibly make sense. "Are they vampires?" I asked myself out loud while I grabbing my books out my locker.

"Who are vampires?" I heard someone ask behind me, causing me to yell and turn around. I calm down when I see that it was André winced from my yelling. I clench my chest and calm my breathing and heart rate down. "Sorry" I mumble.

He waves off my apologies, "It's alright. I shouldn't have snuck up on you like that." He smiles. He leans against the locker next to mine and crosses his arms, "So, who are the bloodsuckers around here?" He teased.

I roll my eyes, "Nobody, I was thinking out loud about this book that I'm reading and there are some mysterious characters in it." I lie through my teeth.

"Huh, I would never took you for the mystery type?" He raised his eyebrow.

I nervously laugh as I turn back to my locker, "Of course I do. Who doesn't love a good mystery?" I went back to switching around books.

He hum, "I can't argue with that. So, what's it called?" I froze. "Oh god, why didn't I think about him asking that?"

My mind racing, "Umm…Silver Blues. I think that is what it's called." "I'm so happy that the locker is blocking his view of me."

"Sounds cool. So, are you going to come over with the rest of us over to Cat's place to check out her video of her song before she uploads it." My body relaxes as I closed my locker and cheerfully nod my head, "Yep, I been waiting all week for this. I woke up excited to know that it's Friday and Cat's new song." We walk into our last class of the day before the weekend. Cat and Robbie already sitting in their normal seats. Cat is rambling on about something, most likely her new song while Robbie keeping up with a smile on his face. "Awww, they are just too cute together. I'm really happy for them."

Jade and Beck are also in their normal seats but they were too busy sucking each other face. An image of the three of us in the janitor's closet popped up in my head. I bite my lip and pray that I'm not blushing. They pulled away when they heard Cat and Robbie greeted us.

Jade's lips are red and bruised but have her signature smirk on them while Beck's looking a bit bruise also but not as much as Jade. He does have a bit of Jade's lip gloss on. He has his normal calm smile on but I can see the hint of smugness in his eyes when he looks at me.

"He probably remembering all those small sounds that he was able to pull out of me earlier, even though we almost got caught." I annoyedly thought to myself. He raises his eyebrow at me, daring me of something but of what? I'm not sure. Luckily, the only person paying attention to us was Jade. Everybody was too focus on afterschool at Cat's.

Class started, halting all conversations. Sikowitz had us act out a scene and he throws balls at us to make sure we stay in character and focus on the scene. As annoying and slightly painful it can be, it really does help with ignoring distractions. Towards the end of class, he told us about a project that we have to do in 3 weeks. It requires us to make a seven-to-ten page script involving a mystery, three characters, and a plot twist. Then we have to act it out for the class. He split us up into groups of four. Me, Beck, André and Cat. Jade, Robbie and two other. Two other groups were made.

We head into the hallway when Sikowitz finished telling us about the assignment. André lightly nudges me, "Hey Tor, you should be great at this assignment. You love to read mysteries and you would have an idea of what makes a good mystery, right?" I didn't to admit the truth. So, I give him a hesitant smile and nod my head. He smiles and tell us that he will meet up with us at Cat's house later. He has to take care of his grandma first before he leaves her alone. Robbie and Cat waved at us bye as they walk towards Robbie's car. Cat wanted everything to be ready before everyone gets there.

My car was acting funny this morning, so I got a ride with Beck and Jade. Beck says that Monday after school that he will take a look at it for me to see what is wrong with it. So, I'm going to be catching a ride with them to Cat's house. We head to Beck's car, with Beck driving, Jade in the passenger seat and me in the back. We decided to stop for smoothies first.

As Beck pulled off, Jade turned around to look back at me, "So Tori, you want to tell us what was André going on about?" She raises an eyebrow.

I sigh as I told them what happened before class and why André thinks that I would be good at mysteries. By the end, they were chuckling and giggling at me. My face was red as a fire truck and my face feels like it's on fire from how warm I'm feeling.

"Looks like you got yourself into a pickle there, little lady," Beck says in between laughs.

"I know" I mumble and pout. Jade's laugh starts to slow as she looks at my face. "Aww, don't worry babe. Beck is going to be there with you. He should be able to jump in, right Beck?"

He looked at me in the rearview mirror, "Mmm, I'll see but I hope this shows you that lying is not good. Besides, what were you trying to cover up anyways?"

"Well, I was thinking about...the thing that...you guys wanted to tell me tomorrow." I mumble, hoping that they heard me, "And I accidentally...mentioned...that you guys could be...vampires...and he overheard me."

They let my words sink in and had another fit of laughter. Jade was having a hard time breathing and Beck was luckily able to pull the car into the smoothie parking lot. When he parked the car, I slowly got out and sat on the trunk of the car, pouting while I wait until they are done.

Eventually, I heard two car doors closing but I didn't turn around to look at them. I feel two warm bodies sitting on both sides of me but I refuse to look at them until they calm down.

I felt a hand slide under my chin and tilt my head up. I was met with a pair of warm brown eyes that were mixed with humor but at the same time hold a commanding and sternness in the too. I was captivated and couldn't bring myself to look away from.

"Tori, I feel like I should say this, we promise that tomorrow we will be the three of us with no distractions and we will talk. I think that there is a lot more than we originally were going to talk about because it comes to our attention that you have a problem with letting go. You latch on to something and overthink it until it will drive you crazy. We won't go into too much right now because we don't really have the time for it but for now, can you do us and yourself a favor and stop worrying for today?" His voice is commanding but pleading with me at the same time. I look over at Jade and her face is doing the same thing.

I close my eyes and took a deep breath. I open my eyes and give them a soft smile, "I can't promise anything but I will promise to try. Just promise me that tomorrow, that everything just comes out? No more hiding?" I look at them both and they both nod their heads. They squish me into a Tori sandwich that left me warm and giggly.

We got off the trunk of the car and head inside to get our smoothies. Before we walked in the place, I hear Jade sniggering next to me. Beck and I give her a weird look, "What?" we both asked at the same time.

"Vampires? Really? Of all the things that could possibly have gone through your head, you went with vampires?" She lets out in between laughs. "Were you watching Twilight again?"

"No," I said too quickly. They both give me a look. "Okay, fine...I was but to be fair, you guys do give off some vampire vibes anyways."

"Mmm, that is true but there is one major problem with your theory." Beck amusedly said. "What?" I asked.

"You have seen us in the sunlight. We have never sparkled, turn to dust, explode, etc." They laugh and walked inside. I was left outside with an "Oh" face until I realize they left me outside, "Hey" I yelled and follow in behind them.

So, the title of the book that I mentioned is actually a part of a title of an actual book called "Sweet Silver Blues" Glen Cook. I have never heard of it or read it before. I just google book titles for mystery and fantasy books and that was one of them that popped up.

Also, I have read and watched the Twilight Saga and I know that they only sparkled in the sunlight. The other stuff that Beck listed was just general vampire stuff.
