Sinjin Doesn't Stalk! He Simply Observes.

If there were two things Sinjin Van Cleef knew about it was Tech Theatre and Jade West. Not that he was a stalker or anything. He had known Jade since kindergarten though he doubts she remembers. That was back when there were no social barriers, just kids wanting to play whenever with whomever. Except Jade West was different. She didn't like playing and spent most of her recess writing stories. He tried asking her what they were about, but she always ignored him. The rest of elementary school went that way. He played with the other kids, while she sat around in the shade filling up paper with sloppy letters. Somewhere along the line in middle school, they traded places. Jade was suddenly popular, and everyone avoided him like the plague. His hair was too greasy, and his voice too funny sounding. Jade had gotten meaner though. She yelled, and shoved, and made people cry. He's not sure how he fell in love with her but he does. He starts leaving gifts for her, but she only throws them in the trash. When he tries asking her to the Valentine's Day dance, she glares at him until he leaves. It doesn't matter though because she doesn't show up to the dance anyway.

When he hears her telling her friend Cat Valentine that she's auditioning for Hollywood Arts he knows he has no choice but to follow her. He's no singer, and his legs shake when he's in front of an audience, but he knows a lot about electronics. He had joined the AV club, their first year, and found he had a natural talent for that kind of things. He hightails his way to auditions, and two weeks later when he gets his acceptance letter, he thinks things will change. When things get bad at school his mother always tells him, how he'll exceed in the future while the same kids who made fun of him will be working low paying jobs. He thinks he just has to make it past four horrible high school years before he finds his way in the world. In the meantime he has to figure out how to keep Jade's attention until he can change her mind.

Hollywood Arts isn't as horrible as he thought it was going to be. There are kids willing to be his friend and his teacher Sikowitz seems to like him. Jade's still popular, and somehow gets the attention of Beck Oliver. Beck Oliver is everything he is not. He has nice hair, he can act, and sing, and he has Jade. Jade tried to fight his advances, and Sinjin thought it was only a matter of time, before Beck gave up, but that doesn't happen. He still goes after her despite the fact that she's dating Beck. She even catches him doing a sock puppet sketch of them but she acts really understanding. She doesn't yell, or call him a freak. Instead she tells him that what he's doing isn't right, while he mutters embarrassed apologies. Still she and Beck are suddenly the new power couple, but he thinks it's only temporary. Temporary turns out to be three years. Sinjin didn't mean for them to break up, and he honestly had needed their help on the game show. Somehow his questions led to a fight, and that fight led to a break up. For a whole two weeks Jade tortured him. She yelled at him, and shoved him into lockers crying out how he had caused their breakup. He didn't hold it against her, because he knew she was hurting. After those two weeks she went back to pretending he didn't exist.

The next time he really has a chance to grab her attention, she's on a date. With Tori Vega! He almost thinks it's funny that the girl Jade hates, gets the chance to go on a date with her before he does. When two guys show up, he admires their ability to impress the girls. He makes sure to pay attention to everything they do. Somewhere into the night Tori and Jade start singing. He's not listening to the words; he's only watching the way Jade's hips swing, and how happy she looks singing. When the date is over, and Tori leaves; he makes his way over to her.

"Hey babe that was a nice song you sang." The look in her eyes in murderous and he thinks he needs to up the charm. "How about we get out of here, and I can show you the back seat of my car." It sounds like something those cool guys would say, so he goes with it. Big mistake, because Jades foot stomps down on his, and he's yelling in pain.

"Look loser, I don't know who you think you are, and why you think you can talk to me, but I suggest you walk away." He doesn't feel like walking away though. He's waited too long, and he's not leaving empty handed.

"No." She steps closer asking him what he just said, but he refuses to give in.

"I've tried making you fall in love with me since we were just little kids. I left gifts for you, I auditioned for this school to impress you, and I've even worked on your plays. Not once do you thank me. Not once do you act nice to me. You treat me worst than anyone. You respect Tori more than me."

"That's because Tori knows when to shut up. I'm warning you Sinjin back off now."

"Or what? I know you Jade. You're more talk than action. I'm just asking for you to give me a chance. What's wrong with me? What's so bad about me that all you can do is make fun of me."

"You're a creep Sinjin. You flirt with girls when it's clear they're not interested, you listen onto other people's conversations, and worse of all you're desperate. You want things you can't have."

"Like how you still want Beck? How you sabotage his dates just so he doesn't get the chance to move on? Face it Jade we're more alike than you think; chasing after people who don't want us." She shoves past him and slams the door on his way out. It's a good thing though because his rush from standing up for himself takes a fall. Suddenly he's nervous about the next time he sees her. Will she hurt him? Do something to embarrass him?

The next day he decides to leave her a pair of scissors, but can't because Beck is by her locker. Beck opens her locker and leaves something in there. Then he shuts it before leaving. Sinjin thinks that maybe he was wrong. Maybe he and Jade are different, because the fact of the matter is that Jade is in love with someone who loves her back. He still leaves her the pair of scissors and a note. At the end of the day he has a note on his locker. It's nothing fancy, and there is only one word written but it still makes him smile.

Thanks

He knows it's from Jade, and his heart soars. Maybe he wouldn't get his chance in high school but anything could happen in the future.

He tapes the note up in his room.

AN: Thanks for all the reviews. It means a lot to me that you guys take the time to leave something. It seems you guys like the OCs so we'll be back to one next chapter. Thanks for reading and I hope you guys liked Sinjin. It's kind of hard writing for him, because sometimes he seems sad and troubled, and other times he seems like a creep. Is anyone else having a problem with their paragraphs on FF? Oh well, reviews make my day.
