TORI POV
I close my locker turning, to head out to the cafe for lunch when Jade walks passed grabbing my wrist and pulling me into the janitor's closet.
"You could just ask me to come in here you know," I tell her not that I really mind her pulling me in.
"That's not as much fun" she smirks, "I need a favor"
"I'm listening" she normally just demands things, so I'm curious as to where this is going.
"I need more coffee"
"Well, let's go outside and get you some,"
"No I need good coffee from the cafe I don't know the name of. Not the gross kind they sell here"
"You're lucky I like you, could you at least grab me some food while I go get it?" I ask, it sort of bothers me that I can't say no to her.
"Of course, now coffee" I roll my eyes, opening my mouth to tell her what to I want to eat. "Juan told me what you eat," she says pushing me towards the door now go. "Wait" she pulls me back giving me a quick kiss before pushing me back out. I stare at the door for a few seconds before turning and going to get her coffee, 'should I be concerned with her coffee intake?' I wonder as I cross the street.
By the time I get back the gang is already at our usual table, and Jade is sitting with both our foods in front of her. I hand her the coffee instantly reaching for my salad when my cell phone pings with a text, I groan putting my fork back down.
'We are all ready for Saturday, see you at 8'
'Thank you, so much for doing this. I will see you then' I reply and out of the corner of my eye I see Andre standing up.
"That's it, give me it," He says as he reaches over for my phone. Grabbing his hand I twist it a little to make him uncomfortable but not enough to hurt him.
"Dude, what are you doing?" I say let go while putting my phone away.
"I want my Best Friend back" He snaps, "I barely see you anymore, you show up late for school, you disappear as soon as it's over and when you're here you're always on your stupid phone" He yells causing Cat to cover her ears.
"I'm sorry, I'll put it away," I tell him holding my hands up in surrender.
"Thank you," he says sitting back down, still looking mad.
"Do you not like us anymore?" Cat asks, looking sad.
"Oh course I do Cat I love you guys," I tell her "I'm sorry I've just been busy"
"Why"
"I um I" I stutter trying to come up with a response.
"She's seeing someone you idiots" Jade saves me, smirking over the lid of her coffee.
"What?" "Who?" "When?" Everyone asks, at once.
"It's um still new, I was planning a date that's what I was doing on my phone," I tell them I hope they don't ask more questions I want it to be a surprise for Jade.
"Who?"
"Um just Um someone I Know?" I stutter, dang it get it together Vega. "Look, guys, I'll tell you about it later, just not right now"
"That's fine, but why is Jade the only one that knows you are dating?" Beck asks, eyeing us suspiciously.
"Because I'm her favorite. Now let Vega, eat her food and let's move on to a more interesting topic" Jade snaps, as the conversations move on to classes, and weird stories about Cats brother I am able to eat the rest of my lunch in peace with no more questions directed at me.
Pulling up to the gym, Jade jumps off as I grabbing both of our bags. "What time are you meeting Andre?" she asks, as we head inside.
"He's coming over around eight thirty to work on his song. You aren't mad are you?"
"Yes, Vega I demand that you must spend all your time with me and never see Andre again," she says and I can't tell if she is serious or not. "I'm kidding, I get it he is your best friend and obviously misses you and you don't exactly have a lot of time on your hands right now"
"It's just I really like you, and I'm scared I am mess something up," I tell her, trying to avoid eye contact not wanting to see her laugh at me. I feel her grab my hand and look up.
"I'm scared to, I haven't exactly been nice to you in the past but, I want this to work. I know it has only been a few dates but, it feels like we've been doing this for years. I already trust you more than I ever did Beck" I give her hand a squeeze.
"Will you tell me if I'm doing something wrong, as in come talk to me don't just yell?" I ask, cringing slightly as I wait for a response.
"I'll try but my automatic response is to yell, will you do the same talk to me before getting mad" I give her a nod, leaning in to give her a quick kiss before going into the changing room as she goes to work on her homework.
Sixty-seven minutes that's how long it had been since I dropped Jade off at her house, and I already missed her this is ridiculous. Andre has been a good distraction to start with but we already finished with his song and he was telling me about a date he had on Sunday, and all I could think about was Jade.
"You got it bad don't you?" He says suddenly and I realized he finished his story a few seconds ago.
"I'm sorry, Andre" I sigh.
"It's cool, I get it they must be pretty great to get you this distracted"
"They are amazing, but this is supposed to be about us catching up since I've been being a gank and ignoring you," I tell him feeling guilty.
"It's fine I got my hot cocoa and you haven't been a gank I just miss you," he says with a smile, "I need to be getting home anyway" I give him a hug apologizing again, he shrugs it off making me promise to at least return his texts from now on. Heading up to my room I collapsed on the bed, falling asleep quickly, but not before sending Jade a text saying good night.
