Stage Kiss
Jade West was getting irritated and annoyed. She knew she should not be feeling this, not especially like this, but she just did.
What had once been slightly amusing had gone to such an extent that Jade felt like she could snap someone's head off if this continued any longer.
Preferably if that someone was a certain Tori Vega.
Jade was sitting alone at the usual table at the Asphalt Cafe, grasping her daily coffee so hard that her nails were all but digging through the cardboard cup. She had scared off Sinjin with one of her patented death glares that had never failed to repel the weirdo freak away...for the time being.
"Trina, you have to admit that we're perfect together!"
The goth's scowl deepened at the sound of Robbie Shapiro's slightly-desperate voice that wafted across the Asphalt Cafe as he trailed after a highly-annoyed Trina like a lovesick puppy.
That boy was so desperate, so pathetic that it was not funny anymore. Couldn't Robbie ever get it through his thick head that Vega's bitchy sister Trina would never ever like him that way? Seriously, the older Vega sister was self-centered and vain to such an extent that she actually preferred Tori, her hated rival who she loved to rile up on a daily basis by using her patented 'Tori voice.'
Of course, she would rather choke on poison-coated scissors a hundred times over than ever admit it aloud, but one got the idea.
The fact that Robbie had been stalking Trina for weeks because she gave him a stage kiss, one that he interpreted as literal, was not the only thing that was irritating the usually irritable Jade on this particularly day. There was something other, one that Jade still could not figure out even if she tried to look deep inside herself. It felt unfamiliar yet so familiar, and this confused Jade to no end. And a confused Jade was never a good thing, because confusion could lead to irritation, which in turn would lead to anger.
If Jade had been clear-headed about her feelings about the whole thing, she would say that she was feeling...feeling...
Jealous.
Her eyes widened slightly at this. Jealous? No, it couldn't be. She was dating Beck Oliver, and was deeply in love with him.
If that was the case, then why did she feel this...twinge in her heart every time she saw Robbie pursue Trina? It wasn't really strong, but why was it almost similar to the way she felt whenever another girl pretty as much as talked-no, looked at Beck-
"Man, why couldn't she realize it?"
Jade's thoughts were interrupted as Robbie plopped down into the seat next to her, placing his lunch tray in front of him, clearly having been blown off by Trina for the countless time. Rex was nowhere in sight. Thank God. She despised that creepy puppet.
Gripping her coffee, Jade leveled a glare at the bespectacled ventriloquist as he kept on rambling about Trina and the kiss, feeling her irritation rise inside her.
"It's just a stage kiss, Shapiro." Jade growled as she sipped her coffee. "It means nothing."
Robbie disagreed. "But it did! Trina put all her feelings into that kiss, and I felt it. You can't fake that kind of passion! Trina just doesn't realize that she-"
Robbie never got to finish that sentence.
Jade didn't know what compelled her to do what she did, or even why she had done it. Placing her coffee cup on the table, Jade grabbed Robbie and smashed her lips to his. What surprised Jade were, in addition to the kiss, the tiny jolts that went through their joined lips, followed by a tingly sensation. The kiss, however, lasted for several seconds before Jade promptly broke away, grabbing her coffee cup.
"See? Only a stage kiss." She said calmly, looking at Robbie's frozen face while he gaped at her before looking away and sipping her coffee as if nothing had happened.
"I want you to meet my parents."
Jade nearly choked on her coffee.
A/N: It was ok, I suppose. Hope you liked.
