Note: Andre's dialect may look a bit strange in this chapter… hopefully it sounds like him though :D Sorry this is soo short but the next chapter will be a good one…mark my words :D

Beck's POV

I walked into Sikowitz's classroom with a burning intention. I had to talk to Tori about the almost kiss. To be honest, I had no idea how I felt about it. Were me and Jade even a couple still? I assumed so…we hadn't formally broken up. To Tori, I had also admitted their was one side of Jade I couldn't grow to love right now, the only thing holding her to me was her sweet, sensitive, insecure side that she rarely ever showed. And that was the beautiful part of her personality that I loved. Tori was more open about her good side, she showed it every day. Rarely you ever saw Tori in a bad mood. But I had a feeling today that she would be rather…distant.

I saw her sitting with Cat who was babbling at an incredible speed. But as soon as I came into view, she stopped dead and looked at me quickly. She nudged Tori who glanced and then looked into her lap. I sighed roughly and strode over there.

"Tori, I need to talk to you…" I said seriously.

Tori glanced up at me again, apprehensively.

Cat smiled quickly and vacated her seat so Tori could slide up, allowing me to sit down. I ran a hand through me hair swiftly and blew air out of my nose as I contemplated what to say.

"Beck…I'm sorry I…" Tori began.

I shook my head and smiled, embarrassed.

"Tori…it's nothing" I assured.

But it wasn't nothing.

I instinctively wanted her to feel better but I couldn't help but feel that it had escaped her mind that me and Jade were -somewhat- still dating. And yet I could feel a strong pull to her…almost as if the supposed feelings that Tori had…were mutual…

Beck. Shut up.

"I feel really bad for making it so awkward" Tori explained with a hesitant smile.

I shrugged, trying to lighten the mood and suppress my conflicting feelings.

"Want to come with me and Andre for lunch?" I asked.

"Sure" Tori grinned, gratefully.

At lunch, that's when I got the text. Hey Babe, the director told us 2day that we can take a weekend to visit friends and family. Keep your weekend free xx

So…me and Jade were together.

That was good right?

Tori, who was sitting next to me, leaned over to read the text and I saw an expression cross her face that seemed to be a hybrid of annoyance, confusion and dismay. I tried not to interpret her expression. But I couldn't shake off that look she gave me…

"So Tori, whatta 'bout this shindig you've been planning for Friday night, eh?" Andre grinned, breaking the awkward silence.

My eyes opened that bit wider, Tori had been planning a party?

"Oh yeah, I'm inviting all you guys and some girls and their boyfriends from our year" Tori said, brightly, returning to her happy self.

Tori looked over to me and smiled.

"Are you free Friday night Beck?" Tori asked innocently.

My eyes flickered down to the text that was still on my phone's screen and smiled. Jade said weekend, Friday was the day before the weekend…surely she would be travelling that day?

"Yeah, I good for Friday"
