Sorry it's been so long, but I'm back. I had finals this last week, so I had to get my study on. New semester means I can be lazy and not care as much, so I can work on this more. Anyway, I've got some ideas coming, and now that day of school for Gavin is over, I can focus on the overall storyline more. So what do you think of him? Some more backstory is coming, but not necessarily soon. And I'm thinking of having his band play soon. I don't own Victorious, or else Gavin would be a character. Dan Schneider got that one thing wrong.

Wait, really quick. I was watching a video of one of my favorite bands on youtube, and a Victorious ad came on :O

Chapter 6: Came Out Swinging

8:00 PM, that night

Robbie's room in his house

Robbie's POV:

Gavin's music was pissing me off. I was trying to focus on my homework but it was way too loud. I headed over to his room, and knocked on the door.

"Come in!" I heard the music drop, and opened the door. "What's up dude?"

"Could you keep it down? I'm trying to work on my project for songwriting, and I've having enough trouble as it is."

"Of course. You want some help?"

I smiled at the offer, "Of course dude. Rex is asleep, but he doesn't help anyway." He raised an eyebrow at that. "Really quick though, I have a question."

"Shoot."

"You were seriously hanging out with Jade all afternoon? Sure it wasn't Tori or Andre? You seemed to get along with them pretty well."

"I needed a ride, and our lockers are right next to each other. I asked if we could hang out, because I was bored. We just talked for a couple hours is all."

I looked at him, surprised. "No injuries?"

He started laughing. "I'm fine, Rob. She's really chill."

"And insane," I said with a doubtful scoff.

"Just give her a chance, and maybe you'll see things differently."

"Okay," I said doubtfully. "I do seriously need help with this assignment though. And you're a good songwriter."

"That's kind of my forte. What's the assignment? Love song? Breakup? Friends? Have you tried. . ."

8:03 PM

Beck's trailer

Beck's POV:

"That's it? You sat and talked at Venice?"

Jade shot me another pissed off look, and I knew that I was approaching dangerous territory. "Did you not hear me the first time?"

"Man, what is it about this guy?" I mused aloud. "Cat likes him, he's your new best friend, and he's related to Robbie?"

She looked up quickly in surprise. "Wait, Cat likes him?"

"You couldn't tell? She was gushing over everything he said and literally ran to be able to walk to 5th period with him. She didn't exactly react to Tori that way. How did you not notice?"

"I wasn't exactly paying attention to Cat. And did you forget I missed everything through 4th?"

I had forgotten, and I guess it showed, because she took the offensive. "Looks like I'm not the only one 'enamored' with him," she smirked.

"I always take an interest in new kids."

She laughed, "You mean like you did with Tori? You don't have any latent homosexual tendencies, do you?"

I didn't have an answer for that, and it was quiet for a good 3 or 4 minutes.

I finally spoke up. "Babe. . . I'm sorry. I do think that you can understand that I was skeptical about you making friends so quickly though," I said with a half smile.

"Yeah, I guess. I'm sorry for yelling."

Jade apologizing? What is going on? "You feeling okay? Something seems off."

"Ugh. I'm fine Beck. Just drop it."

"Alright." This has been the weirdest day. "What movie do you want to watch?"

"I don't care."

I grabbed a DVD case. "Is Dodgeball okay?"

"That's fine." I popped the disk in, and we got confortable on my bed.

I would really love to get some reviews. It's been a while and I want some helpful criticism. My style isn't going to change much, but I'd like to hear what you guys want from this. To a point, because I'm not changing certain parts of the story.
