Chris was walking into the Hollywood arts building and was about to turn the corner to his locker when he felt Tori tapped him on the shoulder. "Hey." Chris said. "Hey, I forgot to tell you this yesterday, but sorry you had to witness the whole Jade and Beck thing." Tori said to Chris. "It's all good, I never really saw anything like it at my school in New coming here with this drama has definitely been interesting." Chris said. "I mean at home, there was always drama going on." Chris admitted. Truth was Chris didn't know why he was telling her this. He felt nervous and like he was shaking but he didn't know why. Tori tilted her head a little at him.
"What does that mean?" Tori asked him. "Oh, my family is messed up in a lot of different ways" Chris said to her as he started to unlock his locker. "Aren't all families?" Tori asked. "You aren't wrong."Chris said. "So, will I actually get to see today because I have been at school for almost four days and I haven't seen him at all?" Chris asked her in a jokingly tone.
"Yeah,I think he said he had a trip or something, honestly it's Sikowitz, I don't know where he is half the time." Tori said, shaking her head. Chris raised an eyebrow at her, curious what she meant by this.
But before he could ask anything else, Jade came over with Cat talking behind her. "Jadey, are you sure you are ok?" Cat said to her in a worried tone. "Yes Cat I'm fine.." Jade said but pauses as to think about the next thing she will say. "But ask me this one more time and the only person that will not be ok is you." Jade said threatenly. "I'm sorry, I am just worried about you." Cat told her. Jade rolled her eyes at the red hair girl.
Chris raised his eyebrows at Tori who then just shrugged. "Hey Chris and Tori!" Cat said to them. "Hey Cat." Chris and Tori said "Wait,Chris is that your locker?" Cat asked "Um, yeah, why?" Chris asked.
"What are you going to decorate it like?" Cat asked curiously. "I do not know." Chris said. "Well what are you passionate about, what makes you want to continue coming here?" Tori said. "Well, I really like rock music, I was going to join a band but I never really got to do it for some reasons that are just plain lame." Chris said. "Just continue thinking about it." Tori said patting him on shoulder as they began to walk to class.
As Tori, Chris and Cat walked into class, Sikowitz jumped up from his chair with a coconut in his hand. "You must be Chris!" Sikowitz said. "Yes sir." Chris said. "Ahh.. not bad not bad.." Sikowitz said. "Thank you?" Chris said. Tori and Chris sat down and Tori did a small smile. "What kind of instrument were you into when you were in the band?" Tori asked him. "Electric guitar and singing." Chris said to her. "Why did you come to Hollywood arts?" Tori asked. "Music and acting, I am more into music." Chris said.
Then Andre sat behind them "Hey, what are we talking about?" Andre said. "I'm trying to get Chris to think about what he wants to decorate his locker." Tori said. "He says he likes music." Tori said. "How about I show you what mine looks like after class?" Andre said. "Alright, sure, thanks." Chris said.
"So, I signed up for Rock and Roll because it has a lot of singing, I thought since I am going to a new school, maybe I could start acting in plays more. This one sounds perfect. It's a boy that loves guitar-" Chris started to say. "You need to do the bird scene." Sikowitz told him while going to the stage. "The bird scene?" Chris asked. "Anyone who wants to do a play, you have to do the bird scene." Beck said to him from across the room. Sikowitz then handed a book to him. "Alright." Chris said while looking down.
After class, Andre showed Chris his piano locker. "Wow, that's amazing." Chris told Andre. "How did you do that?" Chris asked him. "Honestly, I just did, It took a lot of tools that's for sure. You could do a lot of things, just take your locker door home." Andre told him.
Later that night, Chris looked at the spray paints that his mom had from painting since that is her hobby. He thought about the meaning of him even going to a performing arts school, he went to act and he went singing and to play his heart out. He took the locker door while started to paint the door.
"Wow.." Chris's mom, Amanda said as she came into the room. "What is this for?" Amanda asked her son. "We are supposed to design our lockers. I just thought about doing an electric guitar with a microphone." Chris said. "Well, it looks really good. Do you have homework?" Amanda asked him. "I have one assignment for me to be able to be in a play." Chris said.
This shocked Amanda a little, since her son didn't normally do stuff like this since he was really shy about his acting and singing. Amanda was in a performing art school while growing up and met Chris' dad because of the school. So seeing her son loving music and acting made her happy.
"Oh, really? I'm so proud of you." Amanda told her son. "Thanks mom." Chris said to her. "Have you talked to your Dad Yet?" Amanda asked him. "Do I have to?" Chris asked. "No, but you used to have a good relationship with him-" Amanda began to say to him.
"Yeah, I did but Mom, you even said that this is a new start, I need time to find out how I am here before I talk to Dad." Chris told his mom. "Well, You have the option to talk to him. I know it's hard but just think about it." Amanda said while Chris looked down at the painting. "I got to continue working." Chris said. "Ok, I will leave you be." Amanda said while patting his back.
The next day at school, Chris was screwing on his locker door, while Jade walked up to her locker when the door just fell off. "Well that's nice." Jade muttered bitterly. "Here. I got it." Chris told her. Jade didn't say anything but just hand the locker door to him, she was already upset about life and now she having to get help with her locker was the last thing she wanted to admit to anyone that she needed help with this.
"Is that what you designed on your locker, why did you do it like that?" Jade asked him. "Yep, and I have been meaning ask you but why are your scissors?" Chris asked while helping putting the locker back together. "Well, I asked you first." Jade told him.
"Well, I am into guitar and singing. Ever since I was little, I always wanted to be in a band like my Dad was. But now, I just do it for myself. Singing is a way to find my emotions while Acting is something I love doing for fun. I love to improv more than acting." Chris told her. It was quiet for a moment, as Chris was screwing on Jade's locker. "I love the movie scissoring- " Jade started to say but looked up at Chris who was smiling. "What?" Jade said bitterly. "I don't blame you for loving it, that's all." Chris said with a shrug.
"Wait, you watch it too?" Jade asked him. "Yeah, my whole family loves it." Chris said with a chuckle. "Wow." Jade said. "Well, if you do ever want to watch it more." Chris added. "Then I will, may or not let you let you know." Jade told him while shutting the locker. "Umm, don't tell anyone about this,again." Jade whispered while walking away.
Tori then walked over to him. "Was Jade actually being nice to you?" Tori asked him in shock while looking back. "Yeah, I.. I guess so." Chris said while putting his locker up.
"Your locker looks good." Tori said, impressed. "Thanks." Chris said. "I just thought about what you and Andre told me." Chris told her while picking up her backpack. "Well, you did a good job with it." Tori added. "Are you ready for your bird scene?" Tori asked. "Yeah, I am." Chris said. "I feel pretty confident with it." Chris said. "Well good luck." Tori said while they were walking into the Sikowitz's classroom.
"Already, Chris, Are YOU ready?" Sikowitz said. "Yes sir." Chris said. Once Chris went up and did everything that was in the bird scene. Chris looked at the whole class, and the teacher.
"That wasn't on." Sikowitz said. Chris started to feel a bit mad by this. "That's it?" Chris asked him. "I'm sorry, Chris, I guess you don't have what it takes." Sikowitz said with a shrug. "No sir, I think you didn't like how I did it." Chris told him. "Excuse me?" Sikowitz said. "You heard me, I know my acting isn't the best, but I think I did a pretty good job. And I'm proud of it." Chris told him.
Sikowitz smiled at this, the teacher knew this was a very good student even if he had known him for the 2nd time. Everyone else started to clap. "Only one person has ever passed the bird scene the first time and that was Jade West. Now we get to add Chris James." Sikowitz said. "Well, when you believe in something you don't give up." Chris said with a shrug.
"Good skill you have learned I see. Who was your old teacher?" Sikowitz asked. "Mr. Taylor from New York performing arts school." Chris answered. "Well, he did a fine job of teaching you." Sikowitz said.
Chris then sat down next to Jade who was alone in the back of the classroom. Instead of Jade snapping at him, she just had a tiny smile. "Well, he isn't wrong." Jade whispered while Sikowitz was having Cat and Robbie do a scene with a toy snake. "What do you mean?" Chris whispered softly back. Lucky for them, nobody was really listening except Beck who was a row in front of them. "Most people just give up." Jade whispered with a shrug. "It's always a good thing when a guy knows not to give up on something he loves." Jade added.
Before Chris could say anything else, The bell ring and Jade jumped out of her seat to get out. Beck looked at Chris with a glare while Andre looked at Beck with a confused look. Before Chris could walk out, Sikowitz called him.
"Hey." Sikowitz said while throwing a shoe at him. "Hello." Chris said with a small laugh. "You know it is always nice to see a guy, not scared to fight back." Sikowitz said. "And good luck, on the Rock and Roll play. It is a hard scene to get especially with . Now, Go on." Sikowitz told him.
Chris walked out the door and he couldn't help but smile while thinking about all this. What if he really didn't make it. The character sounded so much like him. It was his dream to play a role like this. He believed in himself with the bird scene but that scene was so easy. Chris spent the night working on it.
Then Chris thought about Beck and how he gave Chrus a glare. He wasn't scared of him, but Chris had a feeling that Beck was going to continue giving him a look. Chris wasn't much of a jealous type but he felt like if he put his emotions out to Jade that he would fall for her. He didn't want to end up getting hurt like his last girlfriend.
Lastly, there was Tori and her brown eyes, she didn't say much to him but for some reason he started to feel something for her. He just didn't know what it was.
