It's been weeks and the date that jade told me in the music room is still not happening. Did she forget about it? Did she change her mind? I don't know why she hasn't asked me out yet. YES ok im pissed. Who wouldn't? I mean I was having a second thought that's true but I want her to ask me out of course.
I slammed my locker as hard as I possibly could which startled Andre. I didn't know that he was standing beside me. But I don't really care im not in the mood to be a little miss sunshine. I looked at him and arched him an eyebrow.
Andre: Are you ok? I was asking you if you're going. Ok I wasn't listening to him. I was driven in my own thoughts.
Tori: What were you saying just now? I asked. He sighed. I was about to say sorry but instead I sighed as well.
Andre: Alright let me ask you first are you ok? You seemed a little bit-
Tori: Angry? No im not. I cut him off.
Andre: I was going to say sour but ok… So why are you angry?
Tori: I told you im not angry ok? Just tell me what you were saying im going to be late for my next class. He gave me a 'really-now?' look if that makes any sense.
Andre: We have the same class which is Mrs. Lecoultre's class and we have like thirty more minutes. Seriously tell me what's bothering you.
Tori: I just had a bad morning because of Trina. 'Lies tori, Lies'
Andre: What did she do this time? Why is he so persistent?
Tori: She finished the breakfast without waiting for me. I calmly said I don't want him to get suspicious. I know him once he suspects something he wouldn't stop asking questions.
Andre: Ok I was asking you if you're going to the winter formal because you might forget having a date again. He laughed.
Oh yeah I remember that, I organized our 'prome' last year I was so busy planning it that I actually forgot to ask someone out. It's not really a big deal for me because I don't have someone in my mind.
Tori: I might go since all of you guys are coming right? He nodded. And I don't actually need a date right? He gave me a thumbs up. Yeah I'll go.
Andre: Alright that's what im talking about, so I'll see you there. You're really not going to ask someone out in the dance? I nodded. Yeah ok, see you in music class.
xXx
Tori: Trina hurry up we're going to be late what are you doing there anyway? Are you doing YOGA again? Stop it right away! I yelled at her while banging the door.
Trina: Relax Tori omg, we don't need to go there early because you can't be late in a dance and no I am not doing yoga I am doing aerobics there's a huge difference. She yelled back. And please stop banging my door!
Tori: I don't care if you were doing Yoga or Aerobics I just want you to stop because I want to see my friends already! I yelled again. Can you at least open the door for me?
Trina: No way I know what you're up too you're just going to stop me from doing my aerobics. I am so tired of yelling.
Tori: EXACTLY! I yelled again. Can you just open your door so we can stop yelling at each other, it's tiring you know?
Trina: Just wait for me im almost done. I growled. It's not like I can do something. I don't want to call Beck to fetch me here or Andre because I know that they're busy. Same with Cat and Robbie, I know that they're together.
I went downstairs and sat on the sofa, I opened the TV but I am not watching it. I just don't want to feel alone even though I am. My mind is elsewhere. I am still upset of course it's because of Jade who else could it be? Well except for Trina cause she knows too damn well how to piss me off.
Trina: Alright let's go. Dear lord thank you so much finally she's done.
Tori: It's about time, let's go already.
xXx
It's winter, I love the winter but I prefer the summer more. Because it's breezy and I feel so calm sitting in the beach near the ocean while staring at it peacefully. I kind of miss it now. But enough of that after a five minute drive to the school with Trina we finally arrived at Hollywood arts.
I didn't organize this event. The student council did. They said last year's prome was amazing so they want to have a winter formal and a spring fling as well. I told them I'd be very busy to organize the event again so they volunteered to do it. They did a great job. I can feel the winter spirit.
I told Trina that I'll just look for my friends but when I was about too she was already gone. She's so caring isn't she? Now here I am in the middle of the dance floor looking for Andre but I found Beck instead. He saw me and waved his hand. I went beside him.
Tori: So why are you in here near the punch? He smiled.
Beck: It tastes so good do you want one? I nodded. He grab one cup from the other side and pour it with punch from the punch bowl.
Tori: Thanks I said as he hands me the cup.
Beck: No problem. So where's your date? I laughed.
Tori: Not you too? I don't have one. Well… Let's just say I don't need one. I smiled and he smiled back. So anyway where are the others? Where's Andre? And Robbie and Cat? He was drinking his cup when I faced him.
Beck: Andre's fetching his date and he texted me saying that he's on his way here, Robbie and Cat well maybe they'll be here soon. Are you not going to ask where Jade is? I stopped drinking.
Tori: Well where is she? He started drinking his punch again.
Beck: I don't know. I thought you knew. I shook my head.
Tori: I have no idea where she is. I straightforwardly said.
Beck: Wait I think that's her. He pointed the entrance and damn he was so right.
I looked at her from top to toe. Her hair was wavier tonight and she has purple highlights. She had dark eyeliners which match her black dress. She's not wearing her eyebrow piercing. Her knee-length dress made her the center of attention, mind you she was wearing heals for the first time. She doesn't look elegant but not simple either. She just looked so perfect.
-WEST
I met her gaze. It was my plan, to make her drool. I dressed up for her because I know that she was coming tonight Andre told me that she's not going to bring any date. But I guess I was a little bit late because Beckett Oliver's slowly making his moves. His left arm was wrapped around Tori's shoulders. Of course I am furious why wouldn't I be? But you know what? I don't really mind as long as Vega's attention was mine. She was still looking at me, oh wait she wasn't just looking… She was admiring me.
I don't even think she notice that Beck's arm was around her. She was just looking straight into my eyes. I know she was surprised because I don't wear heels. I want to show her that I do and I can. For short I want to surprise her. And I guess I did.
She wasn't that bad either. Her hair was curlier it looked a little bit messy but in a sexy way. She had a light make up which gave her a brilliant glow. I saw her gulped and jesus christ it was so sexy. She was wearing a knee-length white dress, we were a perfect match. I didn't even know that she'll wear a white one but she did. And of course she was wearing criss-crossed heels.
I was about to approach her but Cat was already beside me. She wrapped her arms around mine. I need to thank her because she was the one who told me to wear heels. She also predicted that Tori will wear white. That's why I wore a black dress.
Cat: Jade you look so pretty! You look like a Disney princess. She giggled.
Jade: Wow I don't want to be a Disney princess but thanks. I smiled sarcastically.
Cat: Now go look for your pair! I know what she was talking about she started winking at me (remember when she was winking at Tori because she thought Beck and her were going on a date? Yup that kind of wink) It was weird.
Jade: Yeah I found her and guess what? She's with Beck.
Cat: Oh I thought she was with Andre. WRONG PERSON! Ahahaha! I looked at where Tori was standing but she was no longer there. I searched around and there she is. Cat was right she's now talking to Andre who appears to have another girl friend.
Jade: Cat… That is Tori. Now let go of my arm so I can go to her.
-VEGA
I saw Cat beside her and I just couldn't take the sight of them being together. So I removed Beck's arm around me and decided to find Andre. He could've been here now. I said goodbye to Beck first of course before I went looking for Andre. I wouldn't want to be rude to him.
He was with a new girl who I haven't met before. Well the girl is pretty I think this is Kiko, Andre's new girl friend. It's so hard to keep track of him sometimes because he had a lot of girl friends before and right now he has another one. I approached him anyway.
Andre: Hi Tori nice to see you I thought you wouldn't come.
Tori: And why's that? He shrugged.
Andre: Nah, by the way this is Kiko. Kiko this is my best friend Tori. She offered her hand and we shake hands. She looks so nice.
Kiko: I'll just go get some punch. She asked permission to Andre and he allowed her.
Tori: She seems nice. I guess you have a nice girl friend today unlike ehem hope ehem. He laughed.
Andre: Yeah well I wouldn't want to date someone like Hope again that girl gave me a pain in the head. I laughed at him. Well let's start talking about you so how're you doing?
Tori: What do you mean? Im ok of course. He smirked at me.
Andre: Don't lie to me Tori I know you too well. Is it because of Jade? I guess I won't be able to escape this one.
Tori: Well one week ago when we were finished recording our song in the music room she asked me if we could date and I said I'll think about it but of course it means yes I don't know if she knows that it means yes but… She still hasn't asked me out I don't know what happened to her. Did she change her mind? I don't have a single clue. I sighed. He was still looking at me perhaps I was talking a little bit too fast.
Andre: No don't worry I got it. Although yeah you are speakin a lil'bit fast but yeah I got it. He paused. So you guys never talked again after that? I nodded. Have you asked her why she hasn't asked you out yet?
Tori: Well… I… Actually… I sighed. No. I confessed.
Andre: Don't you think you should? I mean it wouldn't hurt asking her right?
Tori: I… Well why should I? She wants to date me she should do it not me. I defensively said.
Andre: Really? Because the way I see it you wanted to date her as well. Don't even deny it I know you do. So why are you holding back? It's not like something bad is going to happen.
Tori: I don't want to show her that im still desperate ok? And we can both see that I still am. But it's complicated I want her to chase me. He sighed.
Andre: Look I don't know what you're getting at but I hope you ain't regretting anything that you're doing. I smiled.
Kiko went back with their punch so I said goodbye to them and I'll see them around. Maybe I should have brought a date. That way I wouldn't feel alone. I looked for the others and surprisingly Cat appeared in front of me.
She was wearing a light pink knee-length gown that matches her straight red hair. She was wearing a pink cat ears head band as well. She looks so adorable like a little lost child having fun at the party.
Cat: So are you looking for your prince charming? She nudged me then afterwards she giggled.
Tori: Prince charming? She smiled at me.
Cat: Oh that's right I was wrong, you were looking for a princess right? She winked. It was so weird I just… Well you better hurry up because the dance is starting soon. And she might dance with someone else. She waved her hand at me before going to the punch area.
What does she mean that Jade might dance with someone else? She better not or… Or… I got nothing. But who can she actually dance with? Let's see, it couldn't be Andre because he has a date thank god. And it couldn't be Robbie because he's going to dance with Cat. It's impossible for her to dance with Beck. So who could it be?
Robbie: Tori! Tori! I need to tell you something quick before- AAAHH! Before he could continue whatever it is that he's going to say to me. Jade already got him and placed her hand on his mouth.
Jade: What are you staring at Vega? She asked.
Tori: Can you please let go of him?
Jade: No why would I?
Tori: Because he was about to say something to me. I replied to her.
Jade: You don't need to hear it he's just going to tell you some kind of a terrible joke. RIGHT ROBBIE? Robbie nodded his head contagiously. It's so obvious that he's only afraid of Jade.
Tori: Just let him go I want to hear his joke. She groaned.
Jade: Fine go tell her a joke. NOW
Robbie: Never mind you ruined my vibe he said to Jade, what is wrong with people? Have you seen Cat Tori?
Tori: Yeah I just talked to her a few minutes ago. She went to the punch area right over there. I pointed. He said thanks and went to that direction.
She was standing beside me now and neither of us are trying to start a conversation. I want to ask her why she hasn't asked me out in a date yet but… I just couldn't bring myself to do it. An instrumental song just started playing and everyone and their dates are starting to dance in the dance floor. I wonder if she'll ask me to dance with her. I sure hope she does.
I faced her and she was staring at the dance floor blankly. There she is again, I can't read her expressions. I was about to say something to her but Beck appeared in front of me. He smiled and he offered his hand.
Beck: Tori do you want to dance with me? He asked.
He asked me to dance with him. I saw Jade in my peripheral vision she doesn't seem to mind. It wouldn't hurt dancing with Beck I mean we both don't have a date and I don't think Jade's going to ask me to dance with her. Knowing her she would rather not be seen dancing with her frenemy.
Tori: Ok. I smiled at him and I took his hands.
-WEST
This is unbelievable. I can't believe she accepted Beck's offer. I was about to ask her to dance with me but this Canadian suddenly showed up and ruined everything. Oh no this is not yet over, I went to look for Andre and there he is. He was talking to this girl named kiko I don't know if that was right all I know is that she was Asian. I silently approached him and whispered him something.
Jade: Hey dance with me for a while. I said to him. He looked a little bit shock but he got over it.
Andre: I can't im with kiko. He replied. Dang it why does he have to bring a date?
Jade: It won't take long I promise. I yelled while whispering.
Andre: Why don't you ask someone else? There are plenty of guys who would want to dance with you. After that he went to his girl friend and they started making out. Ugh.
I wouldn't want to do this but I need to borrow Robbie's date which is Cat. I know that he was waiting for this to happen but I just can't let Tori dance with Beck this entire time. Oh hell no. I saw the perky little red head talking to Robbie. I took the chance to pull her and lead her to the dance floor with me.
Cat: Jade what… Why did you pull me? Robbie's about to ask me to dance. I saw her pout.
Jade: Don't worry this wouldn't take long I promise.
Cat: When I told you to find your pair you do know that I was talking about Tori right? I sighed.
Jade: Yes I know that but apparently my supposed-to-be pair was stolen from me because she was dancing with a Canadian right now. She looked around and saw that Beck and Tori are dancing from afar.
Cat: Oh she found her prince ahahaha I told her to find his prince but I thought she wouldn't because she was looking for a princess like you. But she did.
Jade: You're not helping Cat. Now just let me get close to her and when it's time for all of us to turn make sure you get paired with Beck so that I can be paired with Tori ok? She nodded. Why do I have the feeling that she didn't understand a word that I was saying?
Anyway, we got close to them but not that close because I wouldn't want to be noticed. I took the opportunity to look at her as close as I can. She was beyond perfection and I couldn't help but to get jealous because Beck was the one who was holding her and not me. That should be me. She should belong to me, this night was supposed to be ours and he's ruining it.
Third Person's POV
The Canadian knew that Jade would be furious. He asked the Latina to dance with him because he knew that Jade was having second thoughts. She was having second thoughts if she was going to ask the Latina to dance with her or not. He knows too damn well that Jade was jealous of him so he did what he knows what would trigger her. Jealousy.
It was his plan all along, he wants Jade to set aside all of the things that would stop her from getting the girl of her dreams. Hesitation, Pride, and of course her Attitude, he was doing her a huge favor but she doesn't even know it. No she hasn't noticed it yet.
From the glimpse of his eyes he saw that Jade was dancing with Cat. 'You know better than that' he thought to himself. But he is wondering what could she be up too? Surely she wouldn't just let him dance with Tori. That would make her go insane.
He didn't mind her and focused his attention to the girl who he was dancing with. 'Maybe if they didn't have feelings for each other we would've been together by now' he said to himself. He still has feelings for Tori but he knows his limits. Of course he was willing to set aside his own happiness for Jade. He's not even sure if he was doing this out of pity but thinking about Tori and Jade's happiness matters to him because they both hold a special place in his heart.
Just when he was about to spin Tori around Jade caught the Latina's hand and spun her away from him. He caught Trina's hand instead. Robbie was watching the scenario and saw that Cat was spinning all by herself so he went towards the perky little red head and he finally asked her to dance with him.

I just blinked and the next thing I knew, Jade was in front of me and we were slowly dancing. She was smirking at me but her eyes are focused on my lips. I slowly gulped and her reaction was priceless. She blushed when I noticed that she was staring at my lips. Oh my adorable Jade. I laughed. She may not be the sweetest girl that I've met but one thing's for sure I like her just the way she is.
Jade: Why are you laughing VEGA?
I was about to say something when I heard a very familiar song. It was a romanic one, a kind of music that would make you want to dance forever specially with the person that you mostly desire. The song was so passionate and rhythmic, It made me feel warm and fuzzy inside even though it is a cold winter night. This is a perfect song for slow dancing. I heard Jade humming the song.
Tori: Jade can you sing this for me please? she frowned.
Jade: Why don't you sing it?
Tori: That's because I don't know the lyrics and im not that familiar to the song... please? I pouted. She thought about it while looking straight at me.
Jade: Fine but im only going to do it because I want too. I let out a small laugh, I remembered when I used to tell her to do something that she doesn't want to but ends up doing it anyway she would always say that which irritates me like a whole lot. But now it made me feel so nostalgic.
(If you guys are wondering what the song was it's LOVE ME LIKE YOU DO by ellie goulding from the 50 shades of grey OST, play it if you have it in your playlist)
Jade:
You're the light, you're the night
You're the color of my blood
You're the cure, you're the pain
You're the only thing I wanna touch
She was looking straight into my eyes while uttering the lyrics vividly. It was so pure as if she was saying it to me directly but in a lyrical way. Just for a moment I want to pretend that we're okay, that this night is ours.
Never knew that it could mean so much, so much
I looked at her with the same intensity and the same passion that I feel when I look into her eyes. I am slowly being seduced by her blue-green eyes and raspy tender voice. I don't want this night to end. I want her to sing this song to me forever and I wouldn't even get tired of it. I'd choose her more than my cuddle-me-cathy doll, I'd choose her more than my special cheese, I'd choose her more than my ointment, I'd choose her more than a pear phone XT. I'd choose her more than anything. I'd choose her just so I can spend a lot more nights similar like this one...
Tori:
You're the fear, I don't care
Cause I've never been so high
Follow me to the dark
Let me take you past our satellites
She was stunned, I lied. I knew this song all along but I just couldn't figure out what the song was from the start. I made sure that I sang every piece of the verse, every lyric of the song, with all my heart and with all the desire of wanting her to stay with me. I looked at her straight into the eyes without breaking our gaze. Our foreheads touched, which only made our eyes an inch away from each other.
You can see the world you brought to life, to life
Tori and Jade:
So love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
We danced to the rhyme of the song. We danced like we owned the world. We danced till our heart meets its desires. This night is the beginning and the last.

Tori:
Fading in, fading out
On the edge of paradise
Every inch of your skin is a holy grail I've got to find
Only you can set my heart on fire, on fire
If we're both in a romantic movie right now, I would do anything just to be able to pause this moment and rewind it again and again for as much as I want. I dont want to miss a single detail of her glamorous smile while singing the lyrics vigorously, she sang it perfectly no amount of words are needed to describe the scenario.
Jade:
Yeah, I'll let you set the pace
Cause I'm not thinking straight
My head spinning around I can't see clear no more
What are you waiting for?
I sang the next verse. It feels like w'ere having a deep conversation about the feelings that we hid among ourselves. The emotions that we kept for so long and this is the perfect moment to let all of it out. We are having a rhythmic conversation towards each other.
Tori and Jade:
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
I am having trouble containing myself. Whenever I see Vega and her wonderful smile, her charismatic aura, and her shiny bright eyes. I always got lost... It's hard to maintain my own sanity when im around her. I can't even tolerate myself when I see her talking to someone else specially Beck.
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
We stopped dancing and started to sway our hips to the rhythm of the song. I like this, I like the idea that im peaceful with the girl that I love. Calm and high at the same time and Vega is the only cause for all of this things. I want her to know that and I hope that I'll be able to tell her someday.
Jade:
I'll let you set the pace I closed my eyes, my hands are tightly gripped in Tori's waist.
Cause im not thinking straight
My head spinning around I can't see clear no more...
What are you waiting for? I opened my eyes and she pulled me again for another dance.
I held her close to me, as close as I can. She rest her head on my left shoulder as we dance in circular motion. We both closed our eyes and savored the moment. Her hands are on my neck clinging like she'll fall without me. She was burying her face on my neck and I did the same.
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
I feel fresh and calm because I've never felt this way before not even with Beck. I'd be lying if I say that I didn't loved him because I did but not as much as I love Tori now. The fear is ten times stronger than my love and possessiveness around Beck. I just I need her in my life now.
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
When the song ended, we stopped dancing. Our foreheads are still touching while both of our eyes are shut closed. We didn't bother to say anything. We were both speechless, savoring the moment that will come to an end soon. This gives me pains… I opened my eyes and I saw her smiling at me.
Jade: Tori… I… I couldn't find the words to say. I love you…
I kissed her softly, I don' want to completely shock her even though she already was. I am so sure of myself that I am in love with this Latina. She responded which made me smile. I deepened the kiss, I know she forgot that we're still in the middle of the dance floor and everyone else is watching us. I don't even give a single chizz anymore.
I pulled away from the kiss while grinning like a fool. She smiled at me and it was the brightest smile that I've ever seen, it was so attractive and genuine. She looked around her and she saw everyone whispering and giggling after our sweet passionate kiss. Her cheeks as burning red and she doesn't know what to do so I pulled her towards me and laughed at the situation.
Tori: Why are you laughing? Look they're all staring at us. I tried to stopped laughing.
Jade: Hahaha! you should have seen how shocked you were. She pulled away from the hug and slapped my left shoulder which made me flinch. Damn Vega that hurts, so what if they saw us kissing? I love you so what's wrong with that?
Tori: You… she was still blushing, I couldn't take my eyes off of her. 'compose yourself Jade, you are being cheesy'

But seriously do you prefer the old one or this one? Tell me ASAP because im fine with both and im not the one who's reading this so your opinions are much more appreciated.
