A/n Anyone think Tori is acting really suspiscious?

Jade Pov

For the next month, life went on the same way. Tori and I would go to school together, school would be the same, we would go home, enjoy a shower, and watch tv. We would go to bed in separate rooms, but in an hour, she would wander into my bed, wrap around me, and fall back asleep.

It was really nice, even though I was sure she didn't need my help with the shower anymore, just got used to it. I wasn't about to complain though. Then it got strange. In the middle of May, two months since the fire, Tori surprised me again.

"Jade since I wander in there everynight anyway, would it be okay if we just share a bed normally?" she asked as I sipped my morning coffee. I stared at her in dibelief. Was she asking to share a bed normally, without the sleepwalking part?

"Um sure." I said, acting to be half asleep still.

"Thank you so much Jade." She said hugging me tightly. We drove to school, knowing summer was getting close, and finals were approaching. The end of school play wass coming up, and Tori an I had been cast as the two main characters. The way this school works is in the last four weeks, students head to school, and study all day for one or two separate fianls with a specific teacher. Since we both knew all our other classes pretty well and were sure we would pass, we decided to work with Sikowitz on the play.

We had gotten into the last two weeks when we learned the surprise twist at the end, rather Tori discovered it.

"We have to share a passionate kiss at the end?" she asked Sikowitz with a mix of horror and surprise on her face, probably thinking I would freak out at the mere mention of such a thing.

"Yes, but it is what is called a stage kiss. It's fake, means nothing, and will end with th curtain falling so you two can spit and gag afterwardds without any interruptions. Now you have learned this play inside and out, all that is left is the last scene." he told her. She seemed to be surprised at his easiness in it, and went over to me.

"Did you know?" she asked panickly.

"Maybe." I said coldly.

"You're okay with this?" she asked.

"As long as you don't mind my biting you, we're good." I told here and went to get into costume leaving her standing there, completely stunned. I got into the old knight outfit, and stepped back into the hall. She rushed in to get her princess outfit on, and rushed back. The story was about a girl, disguised as a man, trying to become a knight to impress the girl of her dreams, and finds love in the end, despite the obvious anger of the parents, and run off together. I knew about the scene from the start. I just wondered what she would do.

The scene started as we pretended to run to the edge of a forest, panting as if we had run for miles. We stopped at the edge of a fake tree, and acted like we had escaped.

"Maria, are you sure you are willing to come with me? You know what shall become of us the moment they find us." I told her in character.

"Yes Diana. I love you, and I do not care what they say. As long as we are together, nothing else matters to me. I would die for you if it meant being with you still." she answered.

"Maria, I cannot ask this of you. I have been revealed, my tale spread across the land. If any familiar with our story should find us-"

"Do not fret. We shall head to the land in the east, where none even know of our homeland, so you have no reason to worry. Please, do not leave me here alone." she interrupted.

"Maria."

"Diana." she said. We leaned in for the kissing part. I ccould smell her beatiful hair, perfectly groomed with my mango conditioner and shapoo. her lips smelled of strawberries and made me hunger for them even more. I came closer saying our lines one last time.

"T-Maria." I nearly slipped, but noone noticed.

"Diana." and we connected. Our lips finally met. Her lips tasted so sweet, her wonderfully soft, gentle lips. They connected with mine as if made to finish a puzzle with my own, but ended quickly as we separated. i had to pretend to gag a little, but only a small cough. She seemed to have a blissful look on her face, but that was part of the script, she was supposed to appear like she had finally felt true love. Still, it was amazingly convincing, but it was just an act.

We moved away, and went off to practice our other parts with the other members, Andre being the king, and Beck her fiancee who would aid in helping us escape, but fdie in the attempt. The king, who would fight and argue the whole time, who would eventually tell them to go and be happy together. If only everyone could be so accepting in real life.

We left at the end of the dday, feeling very satisfied in the sense that we both knew we would pass with flying colors on the finals. It was silent on the way home though, and akward air between us since the kiss. I felt it must have been difficult for her to do, but I knew she would pull through.

Two weeks later, and it was the day of the play. Everything in our other classes had gone perfectly, each one easy in the final exam as we told each other just before the performance. We went through the lay fairly easily too, although the theme being unrestricted love was taken harshly, it still went very well.

Then it came to the kiss scene again. I noticed as we came close to each other, someone in the balcony giving me the thumbs up. Sinjin! Did he know? Why was he here? At the moment those thought would have to wwait, as our lips met again, this time with alot more passion as to appease the crowd. Again, her strawberry taste, mango smell, andd soft, gentle feel made me fill with desire and passion.

I knew the moment the curtain fell shee would pull away. I kept my eyes shut, holding my breath as long as possible as the curtain began to lower. It hit ground, and she didn't pull away. Instead, she wrapped her arms around me, pulled me tighter, and embraced me through the fake chainmail, allowing me to feel her every curve. It was as if our bodies and lips were twwo halves of a puzzle, finally put back together. I didn't move my arms away from her hips, deepening the kiss by opening my mouth as her tongue began to plead for entrance against my lips. She began to suck, entangle and lick my entire tongue and mouth. Such a moment was even better than anything I could have ever dreamed of.

I felt like I was melting in her small yet powerful arms. I felt my whole world feel as if it could end, but as long as she was with me, we would face it without question. I felt my mouth wanting to gasp for air, yet I didn't care, wanting to make this last as long as possible, wanting her to make my love shine, just as her song said. She made me shine, and nothing could make me happier. My love, Tori Vega, loved me back, and this kiss had opened up so much to me.

We finally pulled away as we both desperately needed air. we stayed in each others arms, staring long into each others eyes.

"I knew the whole time Jade." she told me. "Ever since I first saw you, I loved you, and ever since you came to me to help with Beck, I knew you felt the same. Espescially since you seemed to hate me, yet came to me instead of Cat or Andre for help, people you knew well, who couldn't have done just as well. That spoke volumes, Jadelyn. Volumes." she whispered in my ear. I turned so red, that magma would have gotten a burn on my face from its heat. I felt like my entire world had been turned upside down, and I have to admit, it felt awesome.

"I've loved you just as long, Victoria. Yeah, I know your full name, though, it was kind of obvious. The moment I saww you came lust, but the moment you sang, love over took it completely. I love you Victoria Tori Vega." I told her.

"And I love you, Jadelyn Kalliope West." she knew my middle name as well. I was even more impressed with this girl. We walked away before anyone saw, and I met Sinjin at the side of the stage.

"Took ya long enough." He told me.

"How did you know? How did you get back here?" I asked.

"I reenrolled, not caring what anyone thinks. Besides, you guys won't have the same problem." he told me.

"What are you talking about?" I asked wondering what he meant.

"You don't know do you? the whole school has a pool going on whether or not you two will hook up by the end of this year. Your friend were kept out of it to stop interference with the over two thousand dollar pool. The reason I was mocked was because I had chased you for so long, people thought it was one really sick joke. The school, on the other hand, has a free sexualtiy policy stating that any harrassment of student based on sexuality will be met with immediate expulsion. There's also the fact that Cat and Beck have been planning this since you twwo met. So don't worry, you two will do just fine. See ya 'round." he said leaving the stage, and me stunned.

Was he right? Were we the most expected couple at Hollywood arts? It felt so stupid, and yet seemed to be so obvious now. The way people looked at Beck and I, as if we never belonged together, which was true. The way they acted everytime Tori and I were alone, when she would help me with my problems. Was I really so obvious, or was this just a strange sense of humor amongst the students here?

I didn't care anymore. I walked over to Tori, right in front of the entire audience as they began to file out. We had changed into our normal attire already, and were about to leave. I took her in both arms, and planted a long, passionate kiss on her lips in front of everyone to make sure Sinjin was right. True enough, I heard a large mix of damn its, I wins, and Jackpots from the crowd. He was right. There had been a pool. I had just made the winnign anouncement, and it felt so good. Tori lookedd at me questioningly, and I gave her an affirmative nod. We left, hand held, out of th building to my car. I heard Cat and Beck give a high five, Rex's Jaw fall off, and Robbie's drop almost hard enough to break as we left the stage room. That had felt so good.

A/n Don't think it's over. We stiill have a ways to go my frined as long as I get some good reviews. If I can get at least three by tomorrow night, I might just post another chapter. Hope you guys like that surprise.
