"Hii Jadeyy!" I saw Cat bouncing up and down while giggling like an idiot, "NO!" I exclaimed. It made her took a step back before regaining her composure again, "What's that supposed to mean?" Robbie went beside her, wearing a weird expression on his face, "I thought you stopped saying that phrase" he commented, "Oh me too but then I remembered it ahahaha!" she replied.
"But she still can't accept the fact that she didn't have a date to the prom last year Hahaha!"
"REX!"
"Robbie! You're puppet is being mean to me again!" the perky little redhead yelled at him but he didn't flinch, "HE'S NOT A PUPPET!" I took Rex out of Robbie's hands and threw him to the nearest garbage can. "REX!" he looked at me with his dagger eyes "Jade you're a demon!"
"Problem solved" he ran to the garbage can and took Rex out of it, "So do you still like Tor-" I took something out of my bag before she continue her sentence.
"Oh look Cat I found some cereal in my locker. Do you want some?" I placed some cereal in her mouth to prevent her from talking, "That's right Cat loves cereal" I said sarcastically, "Im sorry I almost said it" she gave me one of her adorable pouts before whimpering like a dog, "You better be or I swear you'll never see the sunrise again" I threatened, "Ohhh I love sunrise can we view them tomorrow?"
"NO!" she looked down and became quiet, "So how's tori? Is she coming to school today? I really miss her she's the only nice girl in our group"
"WHAT?"
"Do you have some bible? Or do you only have cereal?" I rolled my eyes. I turned my gaze at the door and I saw Vega walked in. She's with her sister Trina. Who left her when she got inside the campus cause she's going to brag about the new play that she'll be acting. God I want to rip her soul so bad.
"Hi Torii!" she went to us after hearing Cat say her name, "Hey Cat! How're you doing?"
"Oh nothing my brother took me to his favorite place yesterday sorry I wasn't able to visit you at your house" it almost sounded like a whisper but Tori noticed the sadness in her voice, "Oh no that's ok Jade was with me remember? You told her to take good care of me so that you can give her the fake blood and the fake gun. So did you give it to her?"
"I don't remember saying that to-" I immediately stuffed some cereal in her mouth to prevent her from talking, "Cat you still haven't finished your cereal here take some more" I continued to stuff more cereal in her mouth till she finally said stop. I think she already got what I mean. She swallowed the rest of the cereal before speaking again, "Yeah I already gave her the materials" she cautiously looked in my eyes.
"Oh that's great so where did you and your brother went yesterday? Did you guys went to a fancy restaurant?" the Latina asked, "No he took me to the hospital where he was given special treatments. He said it was like his second home. But afterwards he took me to this weird but good looking restaurant. I don't know where it is cause it's pretty far. But I do know that they serve bugs for food" Tori said eww but she just giggled.
"Your brother took you to a hospital?"
"Yeah that's what I just said I have to tell that to Robbie" she ran off to find Robbie. I guess this is one of the reasons why im having doubts on telling her the secret.
-VEGA
"Jade I just want to thank you for taking good care of me yesterday" that a bad phrase to start a conversation. I thought, but the fact that she didn't spare me a glance feels like it wasn't a good one either, "Whatever" she said, "Um so I was wondering if you would like to go to the café with me after school today" I didn't see any reaction from her which made me somehow nervous, "I don't recall having another assignment"
"No it's not about our assignments. I just want to treat you today cause I really am thankful. But if you prefer somewhere else then it's ok with me"
She's getting her books out her locker and I can see that she's thinking about it. I actually told Trina about what happened last night and she was screaming and yelling at me. She told me that I did a great job and I should ask Jade out.
I guess this is the first time im asking her out on a date. Well she doesn't know that it's a date but it's a date for me. Trina suggested that I should take her to the café but I told her that Jade should pick the first venue first and she agreed to it.
One of the reasons why I want to go out with her is that I really am thankful because she's the only one who stayed with me last night and she's the only one who took care of me when nobody else is around. Even though it's by force she still did it.
"So im guessing that if we go to the café I'll be the one driving" she said while turning her attention to me, "Yeah sorry?" she sigh, "Let's make a deal. I'll drive us to the café but I'll be the one who's picking the place" I nodded in response, "Sounds like a plan" I smiled at her but she didn't return the gesture, "Meet me in the parking lot after school and don't be late"
She closed her locker and went to her first class. SWEET I did it I am having a date with Jade West. I didn't know that I was smiling like an idiot in front of Jade's locker. Till I notice that Cat and Robbie are staring at me.
"Hi Torii what are you staring at Jade's locker? Oh do you happen to see a bible inside it?" the perky little redhead giggled but I shook my head, "Cat you're not allowed to have a bible remember?" Robbie reminded her but she gave him a pout instead, "I only want some"
"No I didn't… Nothing im just happy to be back again" I don't want to tell Cat the reason why im happy cause she doesn't know anything. And she's not supposed to know anything. "If you guys don't mind I'll go to my first class" I smiled at them, "Oh KK see you Tori!" I said goodbye to cat and Robbie before heading to my first class.
Cabbie's POV
When Tori was out of their sight they went to Robbie's locker before discussing their plans, "She wouldn't tell me anything" the redhead purr, "That's because she thinks that you don't know anything" Robbie whispered at her sharply, "But you told me about her feelings" she reasoned out, "I know, but I didn't tell her that I told you. So what now?" he asked, "Jade said she likes Tori too but she's not aware that Tori likes her back" she pondered. But Robbie was shock to hear this from her, "Wait why didn't you tell me about this?"
"Oh im sorry I think I was thinking about bibles at that time" she reasoned out, "Anyways who do you think will confess their feelings first?" they both smirked, knowing that they already knew the answer to his question. "We both know who it is"
"Yeah" Robbie agreed. There was a long pause before they spoke together.
"It's Jade"
"It's Tori"
They looked at each other with shockness and amazement in their eyes. "No way even Rex would agree with me on this one, of course it's Tori" the nerd guy protested, "That's because he's your puppet" the perky little redhead rolled her eyes, "I told you HE'S NOT A PUPPET"
"It's Jade im sure" she said with full of conviction, "Alright, since you think that it's going to be Jade and I think that it's going to be Tori… Let's make a deal about it" the redhead raised her eyebrows waiting for him to continue, "KK what kind of deal?" she asked, "If I win you'll let me date you"
"What if I win?"
"Uh I dunno" the guy confessed. Not knowing what the the redhead wants in return, "If I win you'll give me a huge bag of bibles"
"Alright is that a deal?" he asked, and the perky little redhead nodded in return. "Yes!" Robbie offered his hand to Cat and the perky redhead took it. Cat was the first one to said goodbye to Robbie because she's going to her first class. Robbie said goodbye and Cat did the same thing. Robbie knew that if he wants to win the bet. He needs to persuade Tori to confess her feelings immediately to Jade. But how will he do that?
'If im going to make Tori confess her feelings to Jade… She needs to know that Jade likes her back first. But how can I do that?'
He was heading towards his next class which is music while thinking of a plan on how to bust Jade 'That's RIGHT! Cat told me that Jade's the one who wrote that Tori looks hot when she's wearing her red nerdy glasses, if Tori finds out that it was written by Jade… She'll instantly know that Jade likes her too.'
"Now all I need is to trick Sikowitz to give me his magical box. And I already know how to do it"

I was waiting for Jade on the parking lot for almost fifteen minutes now but she's still not here. She told me not to be late but she's the one who's late. I looked at my watch and it's already four in the afternoon. This date's not going well isn't it?
This parking lot is giving me creeps to think that I was the only one here leaning on Jade's car along with the empty cars that are parked around me. It's not covered so if I went here during one pm or two pm I'll probably burn because of the sun.
"How long have you been standing there?" she asked in an uninteresting tone. It pissed me off a little so I decided to give her a sarcastic remark, "I don't know? Check the clock… Maybe I was late? Or was I early?" I said, "I know im late but im here now so stop complaining" wow she's being insensitive she didn't even said sorry to me for being late. 'Are you stupid? Did you left your brain inside Hollywood Arts? Jade never says sorry'
I ignored the thought in my head and went inside the passenger's seat. I buckled up my seatbelt and Jade did the same thing. She drove off a little later and well I guess this is going to be a silent drive again.
'You need to say something… Remember what Trina told you to do. Always entertain your date.'
'But Jade doesn't know that this is a date and she hates it when im talking'
'It doesn't matter! Just ask her something'
'It matters because she's supposed to have fun on this date and I can start by staying quiet and not being annoying'
'So you're just going to ignore your sister's tips? Remember she's an expert when it comes to dating'
Alright im officially crazy I am mentally having an argument with myself whether I should talk to Jade or not. But seriously? Do you think it was easy for me to shut up when im around her? I got used to the fact that I always talk to her and ask her a lot of pointless questions.
But if I choose to say something to her what will I say? Um good afternoon? 'Why do you have to be so at this time? She'll wonder why you said that' Alright alright scratch that. Um what about nice weather we're having? 'You're implying that you guys are having an awkward atmosphere if you ask her that question' that's right and she might think that im being weird today.
"Vega? Did you left your tongue in Hollywood Arts? Funny you're not talking right now. I like it" I turned to her and I can see her smirking. Why the hell does she have to be mean to me? Im not even doing anything to her im doing what she wants me to do. Im shutting up because that's what she likes and that'll make her happy and it means that she'll enjoy our first date. She doesn't have to be mean.
"Here we are" I didn't noticed that she already parked the car in the parking lot. She went out first but she didn't open the door for me. 'Damn Tori she won't do that she doesn't even know that this is a date. Come on compose yourself!' I got out of the car and followed her.
This is the first time that I've been to this place. It's beautiful and I can already smell the brew coffee from the counter. It's like a bar except that they serve coffee not drinks. She sat on one of the stools and I sat beside her. Now that I've think of it she loves café's with stools. Doesn't she?
"How'd you know about this place?" I asked as I wander my eyes around the place, "Well I have a habit of driving alone at night for no reason and I just discovered this place. It was open 24 hours" she answered, "Wow is that one of the perks of driving alone during the night?" I teased. I didn't thought that I can actually tease her like this, "Well I like night driving" she said in a "matter of fact" tone, "So what's the best coffee here?" it didn't take her a while to answer so she must really know the coffee that they serve in this place, "Everything" I frowned, "Oh so you mean it's better than the coffee that I make for you every morning?"
"Of course not!"
Did I hear it right? She said NO so it means she likes my coffee more than any coffee in this world. She looked at me and she finally realized what she just said.
"Syke" she smirked. So you mean she's joking? I frowned. She called the lady at the counter and she ordered espresso for herself and a frappe for me. "Try the frappe its good"
"I haven't tasted this before cause im contented with a simple coffee with a creamer on it" The frappe smells good it has a sweet aroma. I can smell Jade's coffee too but unlike mine the aroma is strong. Just like her… She was looking at me so I guess she was waiting for me to try this frappe thingy and so I did.
"How was it?" she asked. I glanced at her and she's looking at me intently, "Not bad. Can I taste yours?" she arched at eyebrow, she looks kind of cute but im not going to tell her that, "What's wrong with yours?"
"I just want to know what your coffee taste" she hesitated for a moment but she let me drink it anyways, "Ugh why is it bitter?" she laughed at me. What's so funny? "It's black coffee stupid. And of course for someone who tried it for the first time. It is bitter. But once you drink it regularly you wouldn't even taste the bitterness anymore. And soon enough you'll realize that it's better than the other coffee" I drank her coffee once more and she's right. It wasn't that bitter anymore. But it's still bitter, "So im guessing that this is your favorite coffee?"
"Well it's one of my favorites" she chuckled. I love it when she chuckles, it makes me feel like I did something amusing on her part, "Even though it doesn't have any sugar in it?" I asked, "You don't always need sugar to make a coffee taste better" she paused, she took a glance at me before clearing her throat to speak again, "Just like in love, you don't need sweetness to show how much you love someone you just let them feel it. Although it is much better if you show sweetness to help the love grow but that's not my thing" she took another sip from her coffee before turning her attention in front of her, "Oh so I assumed that beck knows about this that's why your relationship lasted for more than two years huh?"
"No he wouldn't want to listen to this kind of stuff. Now finish your coffee cause we're going somewhere else" she stood up, "Where?" I saw her smirked.
"Wouldn't you like to know?"
I asked Jade if I can take out the coffee that she ordered for me and she said yes since she wants to arrive to her magical place as soon as she can cause according to her it's going to be a long drive. I kept asking her where it was but she just told me to shut up.
"Are we there yet?" she didn't answer my question, "Are we there yet?" im still not getting any answer, "Are we-"
"NO!"
"going home after this?" I finished my last sentence and I let out a chuckle, "UGH just wait ok?" can you blame me? Im seeing unfamiliar places and unfamiliar roads and I don't know where she's taking me and the last time that I checked you should never ever trust Jadelyn West. But why do I feel like im thrilled to see this magical place? Isn't it weird?
"Whoa…" I said breathlessly, "Like what you see?" I slowly nodded. I can see the white sand and I can hear the sound of the waves. I can also smell the saltiness of the ocean not to mention that there are seagulls flying near the beach as well.
"Here we are…" she parked the car near the sidewalk, "Do you always go here?" she went out of the car and this time she opened the door for me, "Yeah but that was when I was still young. Now im a little bit too busy to go here" she explained. We walked near the ocean and I noticed that there's no one here but us, "I can't see any people around… beaches are supposed to be filled with lots tourist and people wearing bathing suits right?"
"Not this part" she replied as she kick the sand using her boots. I never pictured Jade like this before. I wonder what she looked like when she was still a kid, does she play here often? Does she spend a lot of time here with her parents? I really want to know. "Well why?" despite of all the questions that I want to ask, that's the only words that I managed to say.
"Mom owns this part of the beach so you see it's private and she has a rest house over there" she pointed the light house. I can't see any house."But there's nothing in there but the light house"
"So you really think it's a light house?"
"NO WAY"
"Here we are" Jade took me inside the light house and I was completely wrong to think that the inside is composed of nothing but a large spiral of staircase.
"This is so amazing Jade…"
Most of the color of the house is white nothing but white. I get it the Victorian house of Jade was design by her mom. Cause it's all white as well. I can say that Jade's mom is really rich and so is she.
"Mom and I used to stay here when dad is in a business trip. I enjoyed being with her even though dad's not with us. She's not the sweetest mom because she raised me like this. But I can say that I wanted to be like her" her adoration for her mom made me like her even more. I wish I can meet her mom in the future. I wonder if Beck met her already, "So where is she now?"
"She's… She's in Europe… Um she has a job there and… She said she won't be home for a while" her voice became somewhat sad. Maybe she just miss her mother so much. I gave her a soothing pat on the back, "Oh well don't be sad she'll come home soon" I tried to reassure her and she gave me a faint smile, it almost turned into a sad one but she tried not to show it, "Im not sad. It's getting late we should probably head home"
"I guess so it's almost six thirty and its getting dark outside"
"Wow and you still haven't finished your frappe. Damn it Vega you're weak" I frowned, "I forgot that I was holding a frappe!" I reasoned out, "I forgot that I was holding a frappe!" she mocked me using her western accent again. I hate to admit this but I actually miss it, "I don't talk like that!" I chuckled.
"Yeah sure you don't"
She went out of the house and I followed her. This has been fun. I learned a lot of things about Jade today. I wish she had fun too. Cause this is supposed to be our first date and im already having fun when im with her so I wish she felt the same way.
