A/N: A little self-promotion. I have a VicTORIous Reisident Evil crossover story if anyone's interested in reading it. I also have a Song-fic focused on Jade after her breakup with Beck. I'm not sure if anyone's read them yet, so I'm putting it out there. Anyway, this story is going to go up to 20 chapters at most. This chapter focuses on the friday night card game and a few hours prior, to set it up. Enjoy. Also, Couple are Bori(Beck and Tori), Jarlos(Jade and Carlos), Cace(Cat and Jace, name coutesy ofawesomegurl5467), Hayndre(Hayley and André), and Rina(Robbie and Trina). I modified it from the previous version. I hope things make more sense.
Friday Afternoon No POV
After school friday, everyone goes their separate ways before the card game at Tori's. Jace and Cat head to Cat's house to change and grab some clothes. Tori suggested that they all stay the night, which everyone agreed to. Beck and Robbie just head out with Tori and Trina, while André heads with Hayley to her place. Waiting at Jade's locker, Carlos waits for her to get out of class. Apparently Sikowitz asked her to see him after school. Waiting a few minutes, she finally turns the corner, a small smile on her face.
"Jade West smiles. I wonder what could cause it."
Putting her books away that she doesn't need, Jade looks to Carlos, her smile not fading. "Sikowitz told me to tell everyone at once, but I'll tell you first. The eight of us get monday off from school, even though we still have to go to his class. It's good news, because he's evaluating us. He asked our other teachers how each couple acts around class and in the hallways, and liked what he heard. He also said that you're supposed to bring Kira. Apparently she's our 'daughter' or something. Anyway, ready to go?"
"Yep. Just need to swing by the apartment for clothes and Kira."
"Let's go then."
Heading out, they both get into Jade's Chevy Camero. (Side note: I purposely made Jade's and Carlos's cars from the same car company.) After they collect their things, they head to Tori's house, ready to play cards.
Vega Household Early Friday Evening No POV
"Tori, I'm just going to be upstairs. If anyone needs anything, just holler for me. Okay?"
"Yes dad. I'll holler. Is that all?"
"Not exactly. Where's everyone sleeping?"
"Hayley is sleeping in my room with me. Jade and Cat are sleeping in the guest room. The guys are sleeping downstairs. And Carlos said he's bringing Kira, who he said is staying with him. Is that ok?"
"Sounds good to me. You're mother and I will be right upstairs."
"K. Talk to ya later dad. Love you."
"I love you too."
A few moments after David Vega goes upstairs, Jade, Carlos, Cat, Jace and Kira walk in.
"Don't mind the intrusion. Just us."
"Where's André and Hayley?"
"André said they're on their way. Where should we set our stuff?" Jace asks, grabbing Cat's bag for her.
"Cat and Jade's stuff go in the room across from mine. The guys just leave theirs down here I guess."
"Why aren't we sharing a room, Tori? Afraid I'll cut your hair off while you sleep?"
"Jade, be nice."
"It's okay, Carlos. And no, Jade. It's not that. Hayley's sleeping in my room so you don't maim her in her sleep, Jade."
"If that's the case, Kira's staying with you tonight, cousin. Where are Beck, Robbie, and Trina?"
"Out back. Trina's tanning, Robbie's staring at her, and Beck's starting up the grill for burgers and hot dogs."
"Cool. Jace and I'll take up Jade and Cat's stuff. We'll be down in a moment."
As they head upstairs to put the girls' stuff away, Jace decides to start a small conversation.
"So, how do you feel staying in the same place as Hayley?"
"Let's just say Kira's watching Hayley for multiple reasons tonight. How are things with Cat? You two seem awful close."
"Good. I think she likes me as more than a friend though."
"Ask her out."
"Excuse me?"
"Ask. Her. Out."
"You thinks she'll say yes?"
"Wear ear protection. She'll be ecstatic. Based off of what Jade told me about her, she will most definitely say yes."
"Maybe I will then."
"Do it tonight. Don't dilly dally."
"Yeah yeah."
Getting back to the living room, Carlos goes straight to Jade, sitting beside her and hugging her close, causing her to roll her eyes, but not pull away.
A few minutes later, André comes in with Hayley.
"Knock knock." André calls, walking into the house.
"Who's there?" Cat calls out, thinking it's a game.
"Cat, it's just André. Can I talk to you in private for a moment?"
"Sure Jace. I'll take Hayley's stuff up to Tori's room. We can talk on the way."
After they get to the top of the stairs, Jace stops Cat to talk to her.
"What's up Jace? Is something wrong?"
"No, I'm just trying to figure out how to word what I want to ask you."
"OK."
"Willyoubemygirlfriend?"
"I did not understand what you just said."
"Sorry. Let me try again. Will you be my girlfriend?"
"Of course I will! YAY!"
Downstairs, everyone hears Cat yell excitedly, not knowing why, until Carlos starts laughing.
"What's so funny?"
"Oh, nothing Jadelyn. Just Jace finally asked out Cat, and obviously, she said yes."
"How'd you know?"
"He told me he was going to ask her out, and I told him to do it tonight."
A few moments later, everyone but Cat and Jace are in Tori's living room talking, waiting for their other two friends. During this time, Beck brought in the food and set it in the kitchen counter, for when everyone wanted to eat. While everyone was talking to each other, Cat came running down the stairs, laughing and celebrating to herself. Getting to the bottom of the stairs, everyone turns to her and gives her their congratulations, which she happily accepts.
"Hey, Little Red. Where's your new boyfriend?"
"Oh, he's upstairs still. He said he had something to get out of his bag."
"Cool. We're really happy for you two. We noticed how much closer you two have gotten since the assignment started."
"I know! I'm so glad. YAY!"
As he hears his new energetic girlfriend cheer, Jace comes down the stairs, with a small box. Hugging Cat from behind, he glances at the others, smiling.
"Everybody ready to play?"
"Yeah, but what's in the box?"
"Poker chips and a deck of cards."
"Oh, I was hoping we'd use candy again like the other times. Phooey."
"It's ok, Cat. None of us thought to bring candy this time, so Jace made the right decision." Jade says, hiding her smile at the lack of candy for the night.
"Ok, since it's your house, Tori, you get to pick the game."
"Oh, woo. Always gotta give Vega the advantage, don't you Beck?"
"Well, she is my girlfriend now, not you Jade, and what's the problem? We play the same game anyway."
"Never mind. I don't feel like fighting now. So, what game Vega?"
"Our usual, of course. Who's dealing?"
"I will. I haven't played cards in years. It'd be nice to deal."
"Ok, Carlos deals first. We'll go around clockwise, and have it so it's the men who deal first, then the women, so after ten rounds, everyone has gotten at least one deal in. Same will go for the game itself. We go clockwise, but instead of skipping the women, it'll go in order. Sound like a plan?"
Wich everyone agreeing to Tori's idea, they start the game. After playing for almost three hours, everyone agrees to end the game, with Tori and Beck tying with Jade and Carlos. With the last tow couple playing one last hand, Tori and Beck wind up the winners.
As everyone congratulates Tori and Beck, and Cat and Jace on their new relationship one last time, they all head to bed.
With all four girl heading up together, and the guys moving the couches to make room for them in the living room, Tori stops and turns to her cousin.
"Hey, where's Kira? I haven't seen her all night."
"She went up to your room. She may end up staying with you tonight, if that's ok?"
"Sure. I see no problem."
Heading back up the stairs, Hayley tells Jade that they need to talk. Jade declines at first, but then decided it could be fun, so she agrees. Telling Cat that she'll talk to her in a minute, she turns back to Hayley, while Tori and Cat head into the rooms they'll be stating in tonight. To make sure that Jade listens. Hayley grabs her arms and holds them tightly, causing Jade to get angry, but stays she silent for now.
"Just because you have him now, doesn't mean you'll have him forever. I know more about him than you ever will."
"Really? 2 things then wazz-bag. What's he allergic to? And I hope you sleep with one eye open."
"He's not allergic to anything, and why should I?"
"I'm not telling you what he's allergic to, and Kira is sleeping with you and Tori. Kira gave you the same look all night she gave me when I first met Carlos."
"And that is?"
"Like you were a juicy steak, and she hasn't eaten in a while. Good luck." Jade says, a sneer in her voice when she said 'juicy'.
Going into the room, Jade closes the door gently so she doesn't wake up Cat. On the other side, Hayley looks at the door, angry at Jade. Heading into Tori's room, she just lays on the floor where Tori set up a makeshift bed for her, waiting for Tori to get back to her room. After a minute, Tori enters from her adjoined bathroom, noticing the look on Hayley's face.
"You ok?"
"Fine. Let's just go to sleep. Stupid gank."
"I don't wanna know."
Before anything else could be said, Tori climbs into bed, shutting off the light. With a quick glance to Hayley, she lays down and tries to sleep, noticing Kira watching Hayley.
A/N2: I wasn't sure how to do the game, so I kinda jumped to the end. The next chapter is gonna take place monday, the last day of the assignment, where Sikowitz will tell everyone how they did. I have the last chapter planned, I'm just working on how to get to it without things seeming to make no sense. Thank you to all my readers and reviewers. I greatly appreciate the support. The next chapter should be up by monday or tuesday. Who all hates Hayley?
