This crush sucked. Tori had made it into their friend group. The group that tolerated Jade because Beck was "dating" her. Every day, Jade would have to deal with the Latina. It could be in Sikowitz's class, lunch, or in the hallway. Tori was always there for Jade to see.

Beck and Alyssa were trying to push her to accept this crush and do something about, but Jade couldn't do anything. She could not fall for Tori Vega. There were too many risks, and Tori probably didn't want someone who was so broken.

Down the hall, Jade heard Tori and Trina. It was very faint, so she couldn't make out the conversation. Turning the corner, she saw Tori carrying multiple books. This was one of the many trials Jade needed to face. She couldn't help her, but the words asking if she needed help were out of her mouth quickly. Luckily, she is good with improv and covered her error.

Walking to her locker without another glance, but she couldn't help but try to sneak a glance at the singer.

Acting with Cat was always easy. Jade may be harsh to everyone, but Cat was always so sweet and innocent. Jade naturally fell into a protective role over the redhead. Especially after Robbie playing pirates with her.

Hearing Tori scream in terror made Jade worry about her crush which made Beck teased her when she tried to check on Tori. She might be fighting a crush, but sometimes feelings slip.

"Was someone a little worried?" Beck whispered while they walked to lunch.

"Shut. Up." Jade said with a glare.

Jade loves being allowed to angrily yell in class. She wishes she could yell out her feelings for Tori, anger and all. Especially when Tori asks if she could ask questions, she might have been excited to watch the singer perform the bird scene.

"I thought we were friends." Tori says it as they were all walking through the halls. They could not be friends. Jade would not be ok if they were friends. That would not let the feelings go away. It would reinforce them.

She had to walk away from that before she bounced back wanting to help her crush with every little problem she was having. She needed a subject change to avoid accidentally helping the Latina. Seeing the locker helped that change.

Writing stupid on her locker was better than someone else writing a sexual comment on there.

Later on, Jade and Beck are in his RV. They were in the middle of playing a game, but Beck could never let things go.

"Whatcha think of Tori's scene?"

"Terrible." Jade said without a second thought.

Beck paused the game and said in a calm voice, "Now, Jade, what did you think of Tori's scene?"

Letting out a groan. "She did good, but she's pissed she didn't nail it when she actually did. She needs to realize soon that she has to believe her scene is correct, or she'll try to quit again." Jade looked down. "I'm so fucked."

"Come on." Beck put his arm around her and patted her shoulder. "Your good ole friend, Beck, won't let anything bad happen to you."

She enjoyed his comforting embrace for a few moments. "Can we get back to the game?"

The next day, Jade avoided Tori. She knew she would cave and tell Tori exactly what she needed and that would lead to Tori finding out about her crush leading to their friends and the school know which leads to her parents knowing.

She caved and told Tori about the coconuts and Sikowitz's visions from Beck's phone. She was pleased to see her take her advice. When the singer bent over to grabbed them for their teacher, she got rewarded by the nice view of Tori's ass.

Rolling her eyes, Jade really hated Tori's desperation to complete this scene in big ways when she just had to be confident.

"Tori is really struggling." Beck said as he walked up to Jade. He was visiting her house today seeing as Jade had been doing homework. "Maybe if she had a certain lady help her, it wouldn't be so bad."

Jade looked up at him. "She needs to figure it out herself."

"Woah, ok. What's wrong?" He sat down next to her on the couch.

Jade ran her hand through her hair. "I'm struggling with writer's block and it's all because of Tori." She laid back to lean against the couch. "Why did she have to be so pretty?"

"You could tell her."

"NO." Jade yelled out quickly silencing the Canadian. "We both know why I can't. I just need to forget about her."

"If you say so." He raised his hands in defeat. "I'm just saying, you shouldn't fight with yourself anymore."

Honestly, she hoped the third time is the charm. Jade couldn't keep watching Tori perform the scene. She was going crazy because the girl was just getting hotter and hotter each time she did it. It was impressive how Tori could do it.

But Jade knew Tori was reaching her break point. Watching Tori go off and stand up for herself is the hottest thing she could watch the singer do. She couldn't help but give Tori a smile when she completed it correctly.

She was proud of Tori.

Seeing Tori excited to unveil her locker was cute. The singer was practically bouncing with excitement. Jade just hope she wasn't doing something that would draw negative attention towards her because Jade is ready to fight for her and it scared her.

She was about to reach her breaking point.

The locker was creative, but Jade could not show that she was interested. It would give off the wrong vibe that she didn't want to give. She had to insult the locker. Tori couldn't be suspicious. Jade needed to get away.

Inviting Tori to lunch did not help. She kind of hates Beck for trying to force them to happen, but it's nice that she gets to stare at her for a little longer.

"You're an asshole. You just had to invite her." Jade said after school when they met up at JetBrew.

A disguised Alyssa laughed at Jade's frustration. "Is he trying to play matchmaker?"

"I just want Jade to take a chance. That's not so bad to give you the teenage dating experience."

Maybe Beck had a point, but Jade knew the consequences if her parents found out. She couldn't let that happen. If she had to give up her crush then so be it. It was hell, but Jade's used to worse. She could handle making her crush hate her. She needed to make sure the singer hated her.

Just needed the opportunity.

A/N: Sorry that this story takes so long to upload, but it takes a lot because I'm trying to go episode by episode. This should be the last chapter I upload out of order, so this is chapter two but uploaded as chapter three. The first time I posted this my file was weird, so hopefully, this goes better.
