Thank you for the follows, faves, and reviews. It's been asked what Tori and Jade were going to talk about in the janitor's closet when they found Cat two chapters ago. We'll find out at the end of this chapter. And to the reviewer who asked for a 'Tori & Jade's Playdate' based chapter, we will see one. It just won't be for a while. Don't know how many chapters between now and then, maybe three or four, but it is coming.
Next chapter will be the 'Locked Up' chapter or chapters. There will be at least three, four if I make the second one two chapters instead of one long one. I have a plan for 'Cell Block', which will most likely be the one after 'Tori & Jade's Playdate'. After that, I'll go back to chapters not based on episodes.
Disclaimer: I don't own 'VicTORious' or any characters.
Beck POV
The day after Tori and Jade's scene, I pull into the school parking lot, nervously shutting off my truck and climbing out, seeing an equally nervous Cat across the way with Andre and Robbie. "Here we go." I say to myself as I close the door and lock it, my school bag in hand.
"What's up, Beck?" Andre asks when I get to them.
"Not much." I say, giving him a fist bump as I give a nod to Robbie. "Has anyone seen Tori or Jade?" I ask, sharing the hint of fear in Cat's eyes.
"Not yet. Why?" Andre asks, looking between me and Cat.
"Duh. So he can ask to join in on their next make out session." Rex says from Robbie's hands.
"Rex!" Robbie says, making me laugh a bit.
"Just asking." I cover. "So, anyone know what Sikowitz has planned for…"
"Hello Beckett. Hello Catarina. Would you like to play a game?" I hear behind me, cutting me off.
"Don't hurt me!" Cat yells in fear, running into the school.
"What's going on?" Andre asks, giving Tori a hug as she walks over to him.
Turning around, I see Jade watching me with her arms crossed over her chest, a lack of emotion on her face. "The less you know, the safer you are." I answer him, staring at Jade.
"Does this have anything to do with Cat missing your guys' scene yesterday?" Robbie asks, looking around at us. "And why did Cat run away?"
"None of your business, Shapiro." Jade says, keeping her gaze on me. "Enjoy school today, Beckett." She says with a smirk, heading into the school. "Let's go, Vega." She adds, not looking back.
"Sorry, Beck." Tori says with a small grimace as she walks by us, waving as she goes.
"That doesn't sound good." Andre says, patting my back as we head into the school. "Any idea what she means by that?" He asks as we get to the doors.
"With Jade? Who knows?" I ask, heading in. "That doesn't look good." I say, seeing my usual transparent locker door gone, replaced by a regular metal door with my initials and date of birth on it, today's date after it.
"Why did you change your locker?" Robbie asks as I walk to my locker, hoping the combination is still the same at least.
"I didn't." I answer, opening my locker.
"Why did Jade change your locker, why did Tori say 'sorry', and why did Cat run so fast the Flash looked like a snail?" Andre asks, opening his locker.
"I can't say in detail, but it involves why Cat wasn't in class yesterday." I answer, grabbing my morning books and putting the books I don't need back in my locker. "Something tells me I should tell the principal Jade is after me. Maybe I can go home. And maybe have some protective detail." I say, closing my locker and seeing Jade staring at me from her locker.
"Five." I see Jade mouth as she closes her locker. "Four." She says, starting a countdown after every five steps, down to two when she walks by us and stops at Tori's locker. "One." She says aloud, making us and Tori look at her. "Starting now, Beckett. Be on guard." She says, smirking as she heads towards Sikowitz's class.
"Crap." I say, afraid of what she has planned, Tori giving me a small grimace as she follows after Jade.
"She found me!" Cat screams as she runs by us from where Jade and Tori went.
"Is it too late to feign a bad cold and leave?" Andre asks, flinching as Cat continues to scream in terror.
"It's Jade. Of course it's too late." I say, heading to class, Andre and Robbie following.
"What in the name of gravy is going on here?" Andre asks, shaking his head.
In class, I take my seat in Tori's usual spot in front of the room, giving a curious look at Tori and Jade sitting where Jade and I used to sit. "Is it safe to enter?" We hear Cat ask from the front of the room, her head peaking in from the partially open door.
"For now." Jade says, watching the door.
"Don't hurt her." Tori says, trying to protect Cat.
"Don't worry. She won't have a mark on her body." Jade says with a smirk as Cat quickly enters the class and moves to sit beside me and Andre. "Physically, anyway." She adds, making Cat squeak.
"Good morning, young performers." Sikowitz says, climbing in through the window again. "Why is Tori sitting with Jade and why is Cat about to pass out?" He asks, looking around the class.
"No concern of yours, Sikowitz." Jade says, looking at the balding man. "Start the class." She orders, staring at him.
"You are a very intimidating teenager, Jade." Sikowitz says with a smile. "Very well. There are a few more scenes to be seen." He says with a wide smile, the smile dropping after a few seconds. "No one found that funny? Oh well." He says, smiling again as he calls up a group for their scene.
As the first group does their scene, I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. Being careful so Sikowitz doesn't see me, I pull out my phone and check the text, swearing to myself when I read the text.
Don't go to lunch. Meet me in the janitor's closet first. – Jade W.
With a sigh, I send an 'okay' and watch the scene, keeping my thoughts away from what Jade could do.
A few hours later, I do as Jade's text says. Instead of stopping by my locker before lunch like I usually do, I go straight to the janitor's closet.
"Good. You know how to follow directions." Jade says when I open the door, leaning against the ladder leading to the library. "Cat is now off the list, but you're not." She says, referring to her mental list of people she plans to get back on when they've done something to her.
"What did you do to her?" I ask, fearing the worse.
"Oh, nothing big." Jade says casually, pulling a bundle of dyed red hair from her bag, a smirk on her face. "She won't be intervening in my life any time soon, that's for sure. Or falling asleep in study hall." She says, putting the hair back in her bag. "Now, onto you."
"I don't care if you shave my head." I say, putting as much distance between her and me by pressing against the door.
"We've dated for over two years, Beck. I know you're lying. You spend more time on your hair than I do." Jade counters, pushing off the ladder. "And I'm not talking about your hair. I'm talking about something you spent thousands of dollars on, and many hours fixing up." She adds with a smirk, pulling her scissors out of her boot.
"What did you do to my truck?" I ask, eyes wide.
"Nothing too big." Jade says, twirling the scissors around her right index finger as she walks towards me, making me step aside to keep some distance.
"What. Did. You. Do?" I ask slowly, hoping she's messing with me.
"You'll find out soon. You see, just because you helped me and Tori become closer, maybe even start dating, doesn't mean I wouldn't get back at you for trying to fix us up." Jade says, opening the door. "Hell, if we didn't catch Cat leaving the janitor's closet, I might have actually let you get away with it." She says, leaving.
"Wait. What does the janitor's closet have to do with anything?" I ask, following her, keeping my distance of course.
"We were gonna make out, maybe cop a feel. But Cat ruined the mood." Jade says, shrugging her shoulders.
"Should've told Cat to go to the library." I say to myself as Jade walks away.
If you're wondering what Jade did to my truck, it wasn't as bad as I thought. She opened the door, I made the mistake of giving her a spare key to it, and messed with some stuff like the pre-set radio stations, my seats, and the volume. She also took out the spark plug and detached the cables for the battery. Hopefully, her payback was just mental torture and a few minor things to my truck.
Oh, and Cat? Turns out she didn't get her head shaved. Jade somehow managed to put bald cap while Cat was napping in study hall and made everyone else, even the gym teacher in charge of Cat's study hall period, to not say anything.
I hope Jade doesn't do anything bad to Tori for telling Cat is was a bald cap and hinting what Jade did to my truck.
That's it for this. Sorry if it wasn't very good. I thought it'd be better if Jade took it relatively easy on Cat and Beck instead of something big.
Thank you for reading. Please review.
Blessed Be.
