A/N- Wow chapter 10 already. I was going to hold on to this until later in the week but I changed my mind. :)
Beck might seem a bit OOC in the beginning of this but that's just because it was my first time writing his POV. But really, what teenage boy wouldn't brag just a tiny bit to his friend about being with one of the hottest girls in school?
Beck's POV
It's been a few days since Tori walked in on us. I still can't believe that in essence Jade's plan worked. We convinced Tori to skip school with us the next day. We had breakfast at a little diner across town that serves the best hash browns I've ever had.
Afterwards, when we were sure my parents were gone we headed back to the RV. Jade and I wanted to go to the park, but Tori was worried we'd get caught so we stayed in and had a movie day.
Jade opens the door to Sikowitz' class and I almost run into it. "Good one" and she walks into the class.
Watching Jade as we walk in I can't help but smirk as I think of her "surprise". I love knowing she's not wearing a bra right now. Sitting down next to Andre and Robbie I can't help but be happy Sikowitz doesn't care if we're late. Why is it so hot in here?
"Beck," I look at Robbie. "Where were you? You could have saved Rex from the lava!" I look over to where he is pointing to see the puppet laying in a kiddie pool filled with mac n'cheese.
"How could I have saved him?" Looking around the room I see Tori sitting between Cat and Jade. I catch her eye and she blushes looking down at her lap.
"We had to sacrifice the hottest guy in here. After Sikowitz couldn't find you he picked Rex!"
"Man, that's messed up."
"I know! I should have been picked next." Andre cuts in. I nod unable to disagree. "So have fun?" Andre leans closer wiggling his eyebrows. I just give him a look. "Right stupid question."
"Have fun doing what?"
I ignore Robbie's question as Sikowitz calls my name. "Nice of you to join us. Here is a piece of paper," he waves it around," Someone from the last class wrote down some news. You get to share it with your partner who is..." I watch as his eyes travel the room. Jade sits up straighter as Tori slouches down. "Tori."
Ignoring her grumble I stand up. Before walking over and taking the paper I lean down near Andre. "She came to school today without a bra." I whisper so only he can hear.
"Man don't tell me that!" I smile a bit at the jealousy I hear. I meet Tori on the stage and smile at her as she tugs on the sleeve of her jacket. I know she must be hot, I'm sweating and I'm only in a tee, Jade having stole my over shirt.
I unfold the paper and look down, 'YOUR PARTNER IS PREGNANT' is written in messy scrawl. Pregnant. I look at Tori, she's shifting from one foot to the other. I never thought. Glancing at Jade, I don't think the thought has crossed her mind either. Tori could have gotten pregnant!
"Beck!" I look over at our teacher but I can't hear what he's saying. I see Jade with a concerned look on her face. Tori nudges my arm.
"What's it say?"
I clear my throat and look at her, "Your pregnant."
"What?" Her eyes get big.
"Oh good!" I hear Sikowitz say, "Keep going." Right this is an exercise.
"Your pregnant. The test came back positive." They test for that right?
Tori has her arms crossed in front of her, and she's backing up. "N..NO! I can't be."
I can tell she's freaking out, but other then Jade and maybe Cat everyone thinks she's acting.
"It'll be okay. I'll help you any way I can." And I realize I mean it as I take a few steps closer. She's still backing away from me. "Tori, Tori watch out!" but it's already to late to warn her. She stumbles off the stage. Turning, she barely makes it to the trash can before getting sick.
"Morning sickness. That's right, become one with the role!" Sikowitz encourages.
"Don't think she's acting." Jade says in her normal bored voice but I can see the worry in her eyes.
"What? Oh," he sounds disappointed. "Well then Tori, down to the nurse with you. And take your bucket of sick."
I try to help her up but she shys away from me. Taking the trash can she grabs her backpack and heads out the room.
~~~After school~~~
"Was Tori in class?" I ask walking up to Jade after our last class.
"No." She slams her locker closed. "Let's go check the nurse." Not waiting for my reply she walks away.
"Tori," Jade walks up and gently shakes her leg.
"Go away."
"Come on. School's over." I say as I pick up her back pack.
"Leave me alone."
"Tori," I start before Jade cuts me off.
"Get out of the bed Vega."
"Shove off Jade."
"Fine!" But instead of leaving I watch Jade walk over to the sink and fill a little plastic cup with water. "Last chance Tori." She ignores her and Jade pours the cup of water over Tori's face.
Sputtering she sits up, "What the hell?"
"Let's go."
"Home?" Tori asks in a hopeful voice.
"Sure." I answer as she slides down from the bed she was laying on.
"Yep." Jade agrees, "Right after a quick stop at the store." Turning, she walks out the door, Tori and I following her.
"So," I tap my hands on the steering wheel. Turning, I see Tori writing in her journal. I mention that writing about it might help and the next day Jade shows up with an awesome looking one. I wrote down a little note, we both signed, and the next day Jade gave it to her.
She writes in it every time she wakes up from a nightmare but I don't see her do it much during the day. I wish Jade would hurry up. Oh, there she is.
=D Until next time...
