Hello everyone! I know, I wait a week and half and update with a rather short chapter. Sorry about that. Anyway, I've just been kicking around ideas for this story and this chapter wasnt part of it. :/ anyway, please enjoy this chapter!

"Wow..." Brendan sighed as he walked out of Sikowitz's classroom. "I'm too sober for that class." He laughed to Jack. The two were just starting off their first day at Hollywood Arts as music majors.

The two walked down the halls until they reached their adjacent lockers. Jack pulled his schedule from his back pocket. "Alright, next up for me is music theory in room C-14. What about you."

Brendan looked at his schedule, and then back to Jack. "Math, E-9."

"Ah-ha, an actual academic for Mr. Bennett!" Jack half-chuckled at his best friend. "I think Jake is in that class too. When 2nd period is over, just follow him to the lunch table." Jack was referencing their band's, the Consolers, bass player, who had gone to Hollywood Arts already.

"Alright. See you at lunch." Brendan bid Jack goodbye, and the two walked away in separate directions.

As Jack approached the C-hallway, he was joined by a girl with long black hair with a purple streak and makeup, covering up a familiar grin. "Oh hey, Jade," Jack greeted the girl.

"Hello, Jack." Jade returned the greeting. "What class are you going to?"

"Music Theory," Jack answered.

"Oh cool," Jade responded emotionlessly. "Me too." The two finished walking to the class in silence, and sat next to each other.

After a few minutes, the bell rang, and the teacher walked in. "Good morning students!" He greeted his students. "We're going to start things off in your assigned sheet music, but first," the teacher turned his attention to Jack. "We have a new student. Stand up, and introduce yourself, son!"

Jack stood up from his chair on the very edge of the semi circle of students. "Hey, everyone," Jack said with just the slightest hint of nerves. "I'm Jack West. A lot of you probably know my cousin, Jade."

...

Tori walked through the halls with Andre on their way to lunch, "How far have you gotten on your senior showcase?" Andre asked.

"So far I've gotten the chord progression...and by 'I've gotten the chord progression', I mean 'I have half of the chord progression done.'" Tori responded.

Andre half chuckled. "You know, if you need my help I can come over any time at all,"

"No! This is my song and I'm going to write it. This whole school better get ready for a Tori Vega original!"

The two were almost outside, when Tori saw Jade standing with a boy with long, wavy black hair, and another boy with curly blonde hair. The boys both had their backs to Tori.

She turned back to Andre. "Go ahead to the table. I'm gonna go save Beck and Jade from Sinjin," she motioned to the three aforementioned figures.

"Alright, chica!" Andre said as he walked outside. Tori approached Jade and the two boys.

"Hey, Beck, Jade!" She called. As Jade turned, so did the boys. It took about a second for Tori to realize the boys were not who she thought they were.

"Oh, Vega." Jade said with her emotionless tone she was famous for.

She looked at the two boys with interest. The black haired boy wasn't Beck, but he had a charm about him that screamed "future rock star". The other boy, with curly dark-blonde hair, was a heck of a lot better looking than Sinjin. He had a handsome grizzled face, with slight stubble. Tori instantly had a feeling that this boy seemed familiar.

"Jade!" Tori's smile was visibly growing. "Aren't you going to introduce me to your friends?"

Jade groaned. "Vega, this is my cousin, Jack. Jack, this is Vega."

Jack grinned at his cousin's dryness, as he stuck out his hand to the dark skinned girl. "Hi, I'm Jack West." He motioned to the other boy with his eyes. "And this is my partner in crime, Brendan Bennett."

Tori turned to shake Brendan's hand. As she grabbed his hand, she looked up to his face. His friendly smile instantly reminded Tori where she had seen the boy before. He lived in her neighborhood, and it wasn't uncommon to see him sitting on his front steps playing his guitar. "Hi," he said with a slightly shy tone. "I'm Brendan."

Sooo, that's it for Chapter 2. Kind of filler, I know, but please enjoy and review, follow, all that! :D
