Tori's POV
Jade told me that things will be ok. I think Beck has noticed that my parents are never around now. He keeps asking if I'm okay. I was in the hallway, talking to Beck and Jade. I couldn't stop thinking about what happened with my parents and I don't know why Jade decided to back home to her evil parents. Beck went off and Sikowitz wanted a word with us so we went to talk to Sikowitz. "Hello Sikowitz." Jade said. "Ah Jade. So sweet and feminine." Sikowitz said and Jade rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Why are we here?" I asked. "Oh yes. The big showcase is coming up. We are choosing three acts to perform. So far, Lane and I have to pick out of you two, Andre, Hayley and Tara." Sikowitz said. "Who the fuck are Hayley and Tara?" I asked. "Blonde girl and brunette girl. Hayley's dad owns Karaoke Dokie." Sikowitz said. "The untalented girl with the rich dad?" Jade asked. Sikowitz nodded. "So, are you up for it?" Sikowitz asked. "I will. Tor?" Jade said. "No thanks. I have a throat thing." I said, lying through my teeth. I just don't really want to perform now. "It's tomorrow night." Sikowitz said. "Even though I'm not performing, I'll come along." I said. "You better, girl." Jade said. "I will." I said. "Good." Jade said. After that, I went home. I couldn't deal with this. People are gossiping about me. "JUST SHUT UP!!" Jade screamed, defending me. I walked home that day in the pouring rain. I didn't care.
Jade's POV
I was downright pissed at everyone. They keep spreading rumours about my bestie. "I hear that they're druggies and her mom is a gold digging whore." Some girl said. "What. Did. You. Say?" I spat. "You heard me." The girl said. I lunged at the girl. "Woah. Jade, stop!" Beck ran towards me and held me back. That's one of the north ridge girls who likes Andre. "Aw, look. Your little bodyguard is here." Avery, the north ridge girl, said to me. I got my scissors out and started polishing them. "Jade...put them down." Beck instructed. I refused to listen to him and stepped closer to Avery. "Quit spreading rumors about my bestie or your fake hair will meet my real scissors. Do you understand me?" I yelled. She nodded and ran away. I can be real scary when you cross me and my friends.
Beck's POV
Tori's parents are never around and it makes me wonder if that's why Tori has been very upset recently. Maybe she's craving for that attention that she's not gonna Get. Whatever it is, I'm gonna help her.
