Hey guys! Thanks for the wonderful reviews for once more. They are always so constructive and help me with my writing. So, I tried to make the chapters a little longer, I also tried to make Jade a bit more "in character", but that's always difficult especially in an AU cause everyone has a different opinion on Jade. Last but not least, sorry if she seemed that ditzy but that's actually the point. She loves Beck, he's probably her first serious crush and she's experiencing emotions she's never felt before. When someone is in love, he/she acts a little ditzy or dump because love and desire are clouding his/her mind. So, one reason Jade is out of character here it's because she's lovestruck. Enjoy! :D

Chapter 5

JADE'S POV

Beck's jealous reaction wasn't exactly what I was expecting.

When the girls told me to call Jeremy I was thinking "Nuh...nothing's gonna come out of it. I'll just end up getting hurt once more" but quite the opposite happened and I couldn't stop reminding myself to thank Cat and Tori for their awesome plan. I was quite surprised seeing him act so dump and clumsy, which was definitely something new because Beck was the Golden Boy. He was always so restrained, kind, gentle and friendly but looked like he never felt anything. Like a businessman. Like he never leaves his emotions to get him or when he does he doesn't show it. This time though, he was filled with anger and I could see it clearly.

Jeremy and I were observing him, as he tried in vain to control himself. His anger though, still sparked through the air making everyone a little uncomfortable. His jaw was tensed and I could see a vein was pulsing in his neck. Still, I don't think that Jeremy got Beck's disapproval and aggressive behavior towards him, but I did. Why the hell would he act like it if he didn't feel something for me? Again though, does that mean that he likes me for sure?

However, the girls were right and Cat's stupid plan wasn't that stupid after all, because now I know what I want and that's Beck. And Jade West always gets what she wants.

After Beck left the kitchen I kept studying with Jeremy for about ten more minutes before he paid us one more visit. Really. We were studying, cause what Beck didn't know about him was that he had a girlfriend. An obnoxious, ugly blonde cheerleader but anyway. That didn't stop him from flirting with me, though. But I would never date a guy who's taken cause I'm not that kind of girl. I might be mean or crazy but I'd never be the third person in a relationship. The point is that he's not single and I'm not interested.

Next time Beck walked into the kitchen was because he was "hungry" as he said. He came in smiling naively and looked in the fridge for something that would satisfy his "appetite". He was taking his time searching for some food, opening cupboards and listening to my conversations with Jeremy, while staring at me like a hawk. When I turned to look back at him, he was right behind me.

"Looking for something?" I asked him angrily.

"Mmm... Yup." He answered so close to me and leaned between me and Jeremy to grab an apple from the fruit basket in front of us on the kitchen table. He also made sure to rub himself on me. If that isn't a sign then what is? I thought to myself.

He left the kitchen a moment later and I caught myself staring at his behind. He was dressed casually today, with torn dark jeans and a simple white shirt, while his fluffy hair was up in a messy ponytail. I observed carefully, the way the fabric on his arms was stretching dangerously because of his muscles. I admired a little more his thin yet muscular back and his perfectly shaped butt, cause for a guy he had a great butt.

"Is something wrong with this dude? He's such a jerk." Jeremy brought me back touching my shoulder to turn me so as he could face me. For a moment I thought I'd kill him right there and then and bury his dead body in our back yard but I shook my head taking a deep breath.

"First of all, don't ever call him a jerk and second, look who's talking! The biggest jerk who has a girlfriend but hits on me all this time." I started saying between gritted teeth but his hand didn't leave my shoulder so I added. "Oh! And I almost forgot. Never touch me!"

"Why?" He flirted without shame.

"Because if you keep your hands there, in the next three seconds you won't have hands." I yelled at him and started counting. "1..." He seemed to consider about it. "2..." I glared him and that was when he completely took his hands off me realizing that I would probably do what I said, since I grabbed my black scissors.

"You're a scary chick, Jade." He said terrified and gathered his stuff.

"You're now figuring that out?" I raised an eyebrow and he grabbed his bag and headed to our back door in the kitchen. "Thank you for your time!" I approached him, playing with my scissors. This was my favorite sound...

"You're crazy." He said and closed the door behind me with a terrified look. I looked outside the window, I saw him running towards the exit and I laughed with my heart.

The next day I was walking to my locker at school to take my book for my history class thinking about anything else but school... My mind was travelling to Beck of course. Our kiss and the previous day mainly. A few minutes after Jeremy's leaving I went to my bedroom and when I heard the front door closing, which meant that Beck left, I took my laptop and requested Cat and Tori to video-chat.

I told them everything detailed and they both cheered, encouraging me to make a move and when I denied to do so, they advised me to "Do something to make him make the first move." as Cat said. That sounded complicated at first but when I started thinking about it a little more I agreed that that's what I'd do. Seduce him. Make him want me. Make him admit what he feels about me.

When I looked back on the screen, I noticed something unusual behind Cat. That wasn't her room and as far as I knew these walls were different, so she definitely wasn't in her house. When I asked her she changed subject and when I insisted she said she had to go and left our video-chat. That was weird but I let it go. That's Cat we're talking about.

"Yo, what's up, Jade?" I heard Andre's voice and saw him next to me, his arm around Tori's shoulder and Robbie with them.

"Hey chica!" My Latina friend greeted me smiling widely knowing about my good mood.

"Hey guys! I'm good. You?" I said while shutting my locker with force, making them jump a bit. I smirked.

"We're perfect. Tori got the part in Sikowitz's new play!" Andre informed me proud of his girlfriend.

"That's great, Tor. Congrats!" I responded happily. "What is the play about?" I asked.

"It's called..." Tori started but was cut off by Robbie who hadn't spoken all this time.

"What is Cat doing?" He asked and we all turned our heads towards the pointed direction. Cat was in front of the soda machine with a huge bag next to her. She inserted a coin and got a soda, which she put in the bag. We were all staring when our little red-headed friend repeated the motion only to see that the bag was full of sodas and other junk food.

"What the hell?" I spitted out. What was going on with my best friend? "Robbie go ask her what's going on." I demanded and Robbie looked at me disappointed and with a sad face.

"Robbie, are you ok?" Tori asked rubbing his arm worried. Even I was a little worried.

"She...she doesn't talk to me. When I tried to, she run away." Robbie whined.

"She's hiding something or she's just being Cat like always." Andre commented and I gazed at Cat who was giggling alone and looking suspiciously around her.

"Cat!" I yelled and walked to her, the group behind me waiting for something to happen. When she heard my voice though, she started running. I tried to run behind her and catch her, but I lost her halfway. The last time I saw her, she walked in the black-box theater but when I opened the doors she wasn't here.

I came back to the gang and told them what happened. We all agreed that something's up and that we should follow her.

"I'll come with you." Robbie said and I couldn't say no to him, cause he looked so sad and madly in love with Cat.

"We can't though." Tori said and I looked at her. "It's our 1 year anniversary today so Andre is taking me out for dinner." She continued.

"It's ok. I'll go with Robbie."

"Ok. Just call me when you find something out." She said and our paths changed.

"So, where are we going?" My nerd friend asked, cleaning his glasses.

"I was thinking...maybe we should go to her house." I said and started the car.

"Great idea. Then I think we should go at school cause that's where I saw her bike yesterday around this time." He added.

We reached her house and got out to ring the bell. We rang it around six times but no one opened, not even when I knocked hard on the door. If someone was home he or she would definitely open the door after that knock! No one did though. Our next stop was Hollywood Arts. We parked the car outside and saw Cat's pink bike still there.

"Hey!" He elbowed me. "There she is." Robbie whispered and I saw Cat getting in the school from a window. We followed her carefully. Robbie stayed behind me since he was scared. When we climbed inside the window we realized we were in Sikowitz's class. The door in front of us closed and we run to catch our little friend. She lead us in the black-box theater but this time I also saw her climbing a well-hidden ladder.

A small door was there and I decided to open it without a second thought.

The light suddenly was off but I shouted. "Cat we know you're here!"

"Hiii!" Cat said with her high-pitched voice turning the light on.

"What are you doing here, Kitty Cat?" I asked softly looking around me.

"I'm staying here now..." She answered sadly.

"Why?"

"My parents went in a special place with my brother and they made me live with my aunt and uncle, but they're so weird..." After explaining me everything and that her Nona also was away I made a decision.

"Cat. Come live with me." I told her and her eyes widened.

"Jade I can't do that."

"Of course you can. You'll have your own room, we'll let you flash the toilet whenever you want..." She giggled and hugged me. I didn't move back, not when my best friend was hugging me.

"Ok. But ask Ian first."

"I will. Let's go." I said and helped her pack her things with Robbie.

"Robbie..." She called her crush and he immediately turned to see her. "Sorry, I run away. I know you care about me but I didn't know what to do." She whispered.

"It's fine. Now you're ok!" He said and Cat kissed his cheek. For a moment I was jealous. Everything was so easy for them. They were so happy and I knew that at some point they would end up together. I rolled my eyes and scolded myself for being cheesy.

"Cut it off. This is making me sick." I yelled and we left for my house.

"Come in." I instructed Cat and opened the door to get in my brother's office. There he was, sitting with Beck, who was resting on a chair in front of his desk and when I saw him my heart skipped a beat and for a moment I forgot what I wanted. I stared at him while Ian was talking with Cat. Our eyes locked for a while and I got lost in them. I smiled to him and he grinned back. Cat though, brought me back to reality.

"Jadey wanted to tell you something." She said in a whisper pushing me forward.

"Oh. Yes. Well, Cat's parents will be away for at least 1 year, her Nona too. She doesn't have anywhere else to go, so I invited her to stay with us." I told him, hoping to say yes. At first he looked at me, considering everything. At first he thought we were kidding but when he saw our serious faces he started talking.

"I don't know girls. It's a big responsibility. Cat did you talk with your parents?" Ian asked her.

"I did. They said they can't send me anywhere else."

"Ian, come on! She's basically living here already. We have sleepovers almost twice a week. Except that, you're gone most of the day. You won't see us and we won't disturb you." I said to my brother sweetly.

Then an idea came into my mind. I knew that he wouldn't say no eventually but I had a chance to catch Beck's attention too. You kill two birds with one stone. So, I leaned over the desk to approach my brother.

BECK'S POV

God, her new position with both of her hands on the desk was so seductive and such a turn-on. When she leant to take a better look of Ian, she bended a little and her already short skirt risen up more, showing of her long pale legs and her perfect ass. How could I resist her? Especially when she was so close to me and I couldn't touch her.

"That's a tough call. You know that you're like a sister to us Cat but it's..." Ian started saying but Jade cut him off bending a lot more which led me to catch my breath. I was now staring at her hot body and Cat saw me checking her out, but it was impossible to take my eyes off of her.

"Ian, please! We live in such a big house just by ourselves. I'm always alone...If Cat lived here would be different, you know." Jade continued and looked at me. My eyes unwillingly flew to hers and Ian's. "Beck, tell him."

"Um... Yeah! I agree..." I said unsure of what we were talking about.

"Tell him that Cat should stay here." She ordered and I agreed like she has casted a spell on me.

" She should stay here, man. Jade needs someone around and you're not always available..." I told my best friend and he seemed to change his mind.

"But she has you too!" Ian commented. I looked up at Jade to see her smiling.

"You're both guys. I need a girl to hang out and talk about girls stuff. And mom is not around." She frowned but regained her power and begged her brother with her look. This girl had magical powers.

"Say yes bro." I told Ian and he gazed at Cat.

"Ok, Cat you can stay for as long as you want." He said at last.

The girls started cheering and Cat went to hug Ian, while Jade came to hug me and I hugged her back. She wrapped her arms around my neck and whispered in my ear: "Thank you. Later we can find something to make it up to you." My breath got caught in my throat and I gulped. Before I could do or say anything she went to thank her brother and I stayed in my sit thinking of how she felt in my arms or how her breath felt on my ear.

The end! What did you think? Some of you asked me when this will be M...I don't know yet! Not quite soon though. This is just the beginning! ;) Thanks for reading! Don't forget to REVIEW!

Kisses :*
