I missed two of my classes because I went to get coffee in starbucks after seeing Tori and Robbie earlier in the halls today. Why did it took so long? Oh it's because of that stupid traffic jam and the road that they're fixing near Tori's house.

I went inside my next class which is writing, one of my favorites. And I saw the last person who I want to see right now but I think it's quite the opposite actually. "Where were you today?" she asked. "Nothing" I didn't look at her I don't want to pay any attention "Well you missed Sikowitz class and-"

"I know that Vega you don't have to tell me" now this is getting fun I smirked "Why are you smiling?" ugh she just have to ask doesn't she?"Why won't you shut up?" I guess that hit her because she hasn't been talking for a couple of minutes "I rarely see you smile Jade why don't you do it more often?" wha… is she teasing me? I think I just blushed. I looked away to hide it.

I gave her a shut-the-fuck-up look but she's still smiling "I thought you were sick" she looked away as she focus her attention to our teacher who is currently blabbering things. Why would I even be sick? I glanced at her… She's still smiling and she looks cute. What?

"So you're worried about me now?" I got her attention, "Why wouldn't I be? You're one of my friends… At least I thought you were" her voice became somewhat sad. Dang it this girl is so sensitive… I was just trying to lighten up the conversation im just teasing her.

"I told you I'll try" I think I said something nice, "Well let's go then" go? "Where?" she laughed, "The bell rang and im so hungry" she grabbed my hand and pulled me out of my seat. whoa that was… that was weird. I felt sparks...

Tori is one of the few people that has my permission to touch me or hold my hand. Because I don't really let other people touch a single strand of my hair or even touch my skin. That's how I want it to be. Even if I hated Tori before (mostly because of her friendly remarks and positive vibes) that doesn't mean that I don't like her touching me.

I feel so warm and fuzzled when she touches me or hugs me… I mean I only hugged her two times but I enjoyed those moments. Of course I wouldn't want her to know that. I don't want her to get her hopes up… If I try to spend more time with her the faster it is that I'll fall for her. And I don't want any of that to happen.

"The faster it is that I'll fall for her" oh so im already falling in love with her?

We were the first ones on our table I don't know what happened to the others… But I don't really care "You're eating salad again?" she was staring at me"Yup just a regular salad… Nothing special" I popped the letter 'p'

"Why are you so grumpy?" there she is again, "Now Vega stop talking… I might lose my appetite" I continued eating my lunch.

"Hii Jadee, Hii Torii, You guys are early" Cat sat beside me, "Well im really hungry" Tori said. "Me too" hearing Cat's laugh gives me creeps "So have you given the spiders to Robbie?" what the hell are they talking about?

"Yes and he was so happy he even asked me to meet his parents tomorrow… AFTER SCHOOL" she yelled, "Wait Robbie has parents?" Tori gave me a don't-be-such-a-gank look, man she looks frustrated.

"So you're meeting his parents?" Tori winked to cat, "Alone?" She looks so hot when she winks…

Maybe im having a little crush on Tori, It's not that bad right? I mean it's just a crush having a crush with Tori Vega oh god, its much worse than I can ever imagine. "So Jade where were you?" Cat asked me.

"I went to starbucks to buy a coffee but I got caught in a traffic jam" Tori punched my right shoulder it didn't hurt. It's actually a friendly punch… Except for the fact that we're not really friends "You didn't tell me the reason why you're late! How come you told Cat?" Cat is smiling "No reasons" I hid the smirk on my face.

"I thought you were going to try to be my friend why didn't you tell me why you're late?" god she won't stop bugging me "Alright im sorry, I got caught in a traffic Vega, I got caught in a traffic" she smiled, "Happy now?" I stood up and threw the paper plate of my salad.

That's enough Tori Vega pestering for one day, my day is now complete. Tori completes your day? What? I didn't say that. I mean my day is complete because… Because I snapped at her multiple times…

Plus she acts so dorky and weird that it actually sickens me. Does she? She really does. I went to my next class which is music and the rest of the classes were super boring.

-VEGA

After finishing lunch Trina called me to stay home tomorrow and that I can't go to school. Because? She said she lost the door's lock and she's too busy to buy another one. I told her that I can buy it myself but she said I can buy one when mom and dad gave me the money for it. And they won't be back after tomorrow night.

Being stupidly mad at my sister I went to my next class which is arts… And it's not that boring because Andre is here.

"So how're you and Jade?" speaking of Jade she hasn't been improving that much lately. Improving about the I'll-try-to-be-friends-with-you part. I heard her say that, quite clear… with my very own ears.

"Not so good, any ideas?" he nodded "Well… Maybe you should talk to her about it again…" again? Does he even know how hard it is to talk to Jade?

"It won't be easy I can't talk to her alone… It's going to be so hard" he just laughed what the hell's funny? "I think you should go look for her after class and force her to go with you at Nozu's" is he serious?

"Yeah im serious" I guess he read my mind. Im still not sure about this I have a huge doubt… She might end up hating me more than she actually does for pestering her and dragging her with me. On the other hand it might also do the trick.

But what will I say to her? Of course she will wonder why I dragged her with me… in a furious way. All I know is that I need to clarify things to her even though I already tried that. I might as well try again but harder this time.

"Hey Andre you know I can't drive right? Will you drive me and Jade a ride at Nozu's?" he smiled, "Sure but you should really take another driver's license's test… that way, you'll be able to-"

"Drive like a normal teenager, yes, yes, I DO… I already know that" I groaned, im so sick and tired of people telling me to get a driver's license when I can't right now… Not when I already have my own car… and not when im eighteen years old.

The rest of my classes were the same and it's my last class but I still don't know what to say to her… and what to do when we get there, "Hey relax Tori it's going to be fine… Except for the scissors that she's carrying with her… You just gotta be careful alright?" he patted my shoulder.

"THANKS ANDRE… THAT HELPED A LOT!" I yelled across the hallways, "NO PROBLEM CHICA!" that was actually sarcastic what do I do now?

When the classes are over. Andre went with me so we can both go to the hallways and look for Jade… We can't let her go home early today… Not when im finished talking to her.

After a couple of minutes I saw a hot looking goth who is wearing nothing but black jeans, black Jacket, and a couple of black combat boots… matching her black set of locks with blue highlights on the left side of her hair (the last time I checked they were green) she looks hotter because of the piercings on her right eyebrow… Did I just compliment Jade West's entire appearance?

"There she is" Andre whispered "Do not lose your cool" he nudged me, oh well he must have noticed "I know" I whispered back… "So what are you waiting for? Go get her" he pushed me out of the trash bin where we were hiding and I instantly pulled Jade West out of the crowd… "What?! Who the hell are you?! Let me go you creep!" she doesn't know who I am because Andre and I are wearing a black mask… The mask that thieves usually wore.

"Shssshhh" I shushed her but she didn't budge I have no choice but to cover her mouth with a handkerchief… I let her sit on the back of the car with me leaving Andre alone on the driver's seat.

Our trip to Nozu wasn't that bad we were all quiet because if Andre and I speak she would know it was us… And Jade can't talk because I tied the handkerchief on her mouth and it's a good thing that she's not fighting back.

When we reached our destination I saw how confused she is… So I whispered Andre 'thank you' and he whispered 'you're welcome' back to me before driving off. Let's get this over with I said to myself.

Im still wearing a mask because I want her to be afraid of me I can tell that she is because she's sweating… And she rarely sweats. We sat down on the chair. I made sure she won't escape cause im still holding her left arm… And when we both settled down on the chair I removed my mask "Hi Jade" I said while wearing a smile.

She was stunned oh my god the look on her face… It's hilarious! Hahaha, "I KNEW IT WAS YOU" ok she shouldn't have yelled "Alright im sorry please don't yell" I looked around and most of the people are looking at us first the mask and now this?

"What do you want with me Vega?" She said sounding uninterested on my answer "I want us to talk again… and alone… for the second time" I think she knows what im talking about "Is this about the stupid friendship that you want? Vega im trying ok?" yeah, I can see that I said sarcastically.

"Try harder?" she looked at me rather amused at what I just said "Ok I've had enough of you Vega and now you're telling me to try harder?" what? It was just a request.

"Im only requesting, plus it's for the both of us" she turned away from me Cheesus Crust she's so hard to tame. "What do I get if I became close to you? Huh Vega?"

"Well you won't find me annoying anymore because we're friends?" alright that was a lame reason "Friends or not you'll still be annoying" she drank her tea. "Anything else?" whoa she's actually paying attention.

"Just please consider it?" she's still avoiding my gaze, "Fine… But" ugh I almost had my hopes up. "You'll be my slave for three weeks" what? No way!

"What?!" she sips on her tea for the third time so she doesn't have to look at me "You heard it right Vega" im so done with slavery do I look like a slave? First Trina and now Jade? Who's next? Andre? Then Cat? Oh my god no. But im really desperate… Im desperate and I don't even know why. "I will only do it for two weeks take it or leave it" Im trying to sound like she's going to lose something bigger than I do.

She finally looked at me and she smirked "Feeling confident eh?" she handed her hand to me "Deal" I took it and we sealed the deal "You'll start tomorrow" then she left. What have I done?

-WEST

I woke up feeling warm and fuzzled inside this is the first day Vega will start to be my slave… For two weeks yes it's pretty short. But I don't want to miss the chance. I got up, did my daily routine and said goodbye to my very busy dad before going to school.

Upon arriving inside Hollywood Arts I haven't seen Vega around the halls "Hey Andre do you know where Tori is?" he just smiled, "So are you guys friends now?" oh so he knows about this "Not quite so where is she?" he shrugs "I have no idea I haven't seen her yet but her sister's here already so you can go ask her" he pointed to Trina who is standing near Tori's locker oh god not Trina "Trina where's your sister?" she gave me a why-are-you-looking-for-my-sister look "And why are you looking for my sister? Don't you like hate her or something?" she asked me back. "Just answer my question and no one gets hurt" she flinched, god I was only messing with her "she-she stayed home" stayed home? What? Did she chicken out? "Why?" I pulled out my scissors this is fun.

"We-well, we don't have the money to buy another lock because we lost the old one and our parents are not yet back in town" dang it she's stuttering, "Alright quite acting like I was going to kill you. Come on man up" I smirked while she gave me a death glare.

Why didn't she called me? God that Vega. I skipped my entire classes and went to the Vega's residence. She's going to be dead I'll torture her big time.

I honked my car's horn to let her know that her worst nightmare just arrived. Since they don't have a lock on the door I barged in. "VEGA!" I yelled. Alright where is she?

"JADE?! What are you doing here?" she look tensed easy Vega I won't torture you that easily let's take it slow I said while laughing at the back of my head "Oh nothing… I just thought you chickened out on our bet but then Trina told me what happened" I smirked.

"So you're not… mad?" she slowly asked "No not really I shouldn't have… If you called me. BUT YOU DIDN'T" I ran towards her and she started screaming, "Jade calm down im so sorry! Oh god don't throw me the vase" she pleaded, "Ugh fine I'll still torture you though" I said while putting the vase back on the coffee table as I sat on the couch.

"Go get me a drink, coffee two sugars no cream" I commanded she obeyed immediately and went to the kitchen that's a good girl "Don't put too much sugar on it or I'll make you drink it instead!" I shouted.

This is worth my time even though I skipped school today just to torture Tori in her own house. I didn't think she'll accept this slave type thing. But she did. And she amuses me is she really that desperate? Aside from the fact that she has to kidnap me just to talk to me and clarify the friendship that she 'really' wants.

And I think its happening im starting to like her… little by little "Hurry up Vega!" I yelled, "Just a second!" she yelled back, "Are you yelling at me?!" I heard her slight groaned "What did you say?" I yelled again.

"NOTHING!" now she's shouting haha she's getting really pissed "Here's your coffee" she placed it down on the coffee table but I didn't take it I just stared at it "What?" she raised an eyebrow, she's cute when she does that… Not minding that she's wearing a glasses makes her look adorable… Snap out of it Jadelyn West you're becoming soft Am I? And it's because of Tori? Hell naw.

"Is it black coffee?" she became more confused "Black coffee?" cheesus crust "Yup you heard me" I told her once again "I don't really know if it's-"

"Then taste it" I cut her off, "What? No" she's complaining? I smirked "Are you complaining?" she became soft and calmer this time she's holding back her anger. Good one Vega she took a sip on the coffee "Hey it taste nice" she smiled.

I took it from her and drank it.

-VEGA

That's right Jade, drink it. I didn't put any sugar in it in fact I added salt. And I didn't even taste it. I just placed the cup in between my lips so I'll look like I was drinking it. Not long after drinking it she started spitting the remaining coffee on the floor "TORII!" oooppps there she goes.

She's running towards me, "COME BACK HERE OR I SWEAR TO GOD!" she sure is swearing a lot "Or else what?" I questioned her "Urggghhh!" haha I thought so.

Only one hour left and the classes in Hollywood arts are over. So that means Trina will be coming home soon unless she have other plans in the afternoon "Move on the ankle part" Jade said. I am currently massaging her left foot because she got tired of running and chasing after me so she decided to let it go and let me massage her feet.

"Here?" she just nodded. I should at least thank her for accompanying me the whole day or else I'll be bored as hell without someone to talk to. And I didn't expect her to skipped school just to torture me and make my day miserable. I still think of it as a good thing.

"That's enough Vega im fine now" she took her left foot out of my hand and stood up "Im hungry" she went to the kitchen and opened the fridge "No food?" she asked. "Nope but we do have ingredients" I told her. "So you mean you'll cook?" I nodded.

"Alright do you have any recipes in mind?" she closed the fridge and sat on the dining table. "I can make a pasta" I said, "Is that good?" she thought about it for a while, "Fine" then she went back to the living room. Alright so that means she's not going to help me.

"You can just tell me if it's done," she paused I think she still wants to say something but she's holding it back. So I looked at her but her attention is focused on the TV "Or…" she paused again what is it that she wants to say? "You can call me if you need any help" I knew it she does care. "Well I do need someone to boil the pasta for me while I make the sauce" she looked at me and I smiled at her. After a little while of staring into each other's eyes she stood up and took the pasta out of my hand.
