Chapter 2

He internally groans when the bell rings, signaling the start of lunch and the start of the endless string of complaints from Jade. She goes off on him about how he wasn't paying closer attention to her during the scene, and, while she is pretty much completely right, he says nothing and just lets her continue her tirade as they make their way out into the hallway. Bitch. He mentally spits out the word as he locks eyes with her for a second, exasperated, and this actually shocks him, because, while being completely true, he is still taken aback by the amount of venom that seemed to ooze from that silent insult.

For a second he panics, could she tell what he just thought? Oh my god, can she tell what he's thinking right now? What he was thinking before? But then he comes to his senses and assures himself that she didn't suddenly develop telepathic powers because she isn't really some dark, evil witch. (As much as he likes to think she is.) He laughs a little too loudly at the mental picture he just conjured up of Jade in a tall, pointy witch hat cackling menacingly with talon-like hands stirring a bubbling cauldron. That was just so Jade.

They reach the courtyard, and as they are making their way to the table, she fumes.

"Are you laughing at me Beck? Are you seriously laughing right now?"She proceeds to throw a string of insults his way and he proceeds to tune her out.

They reach the usual table and he sees Cat, Robbie, and Andre already sitting on the far side and Jade takes a spot farthest away from all three. He sits next to her out of pure obligation, careful to leave at least seven inches in between them, because hello, he didn't have to enjoy it for god's sake.

He gets a strange surge of happy when he realizes the only open spot is next to him and Tori had yet to arrive. Pretty soon Jade realizes he isn't listening to her in the slightest because he tries to look really invested in hearing Cat tell about the dream she had about butterscotch unicorns and fairy castles. Jade gets up in a huff to buy a salad or something, mumbling obscenities the whole way. At least she wasn't heckling him for his cash. For once.

Tori reaches the table a few minutes later and she sits on his right, a little too far away from him and a little too close to Andre to his liking. He doesn't even try to justify the pang of whatever the hell it was that hit him when he notices this. She greets everyone with a brilliant smile, getting mumbles and the respective "Hey, TORI!" from Cat. And then suddenly she's turning to him, still smiling her sunshine smile while looking beautiful and radiant as always and says, "Where's Jade?" in her musical voice as she takes out a turkey sandwich.

Okay, so maybe not the ideal words he's like to hear from her, but with Tori, every word she muttered was just like a sweet song.

…Wow. Did he seriously just think that? He has got to be losing his mind. Must be the lack of sleep. Thanks to you, he thinks. He realizes he still hasn't answered her, and grunts "salad" and then turns away (cowers away) from her to sip his Coke and hide his idiocy. He is so thankful he has the ability to keep a calm exterior and never betray how he really feels, because inside he's absolutely flipping out. I'm such an idiot. SUCH an idiot. That was reeeal smooth. I'm sure you charmed the socks off of her on that one, Beck!

He tries not to look at her too much during lunch because he knows he'll probably just make a damn fool of himself again if he tries to speak with her some more and he's still mentally berating himself for looking like a complete tool. Jade comes back and slams her plastic salad container down gaining everyone's attention.

Everyone seems to be waiting for her to say something.

"Hey, guys." She says sarcastically, even though Cat chimes a "Hey, Jade!" That is a little too bright for this situation.

Jade continues as though Cat hadn't spoken. "So. Sikowitz's class today. Crazy right?" She tries to act like she's actually making an effort to speak casually to everyone, but everyone can hear the disdain her voice, and realistically, Jade doesn't just strike up a conversation without some ulterior motive. "I mean, I thought it was pretty crazy, what with Beck staring at Tori's ass and all." And there it was.

He freezes as everyone turns to him and spits out the mouthful of soda he just swallowed all over his lunch. Well, that's just cool. He tries to collect himself and wipes his mouth with the back of his hand as he avoids the looks on everyone's faces. He doesn't even want to think about what Tori is thinking. He realizes he still hasn't said anything and the longer he sits there like an idiot staring at the Coke all over his food the more he looks completely guilty. He clears his throat and looks up at Jade.

"What the hell are you talking about?" He thanks whatever higher power there is in the universe that he was able to keep his voice from cracking.

"Oh, don't deny it Beckett. It was so obvious. You remember what I'm talking about right? When Tor-Tor over here bent over before our scene started? Oh yes. You got an eyeful!" Jade laughs wickedly, as she knew this was totally going to screw up Beck and Tori's friendship and probably make it weird between him and Andre.

He's about to open his mouth to denydenydeny, when it occurs to him that he's faced with two decisions here. Totally start a fight and deny every accusation and apologize to Tori for his crazy girlfriend and take shit from Jade for a while but eventually everyone forgets about it. Or… there's another totally unchartered path that winds through a twisted dark forest with no guaranteed outcome and it is probably really stupid and potentially life threatening, considering it was Jade he was dealing with. He looks at everyone before settling his eyes on BitchJade and thinks, fuck it.

He smirks as he begins to speak, knowing this would completely throw her off. "You know what? I'm not going to deny it, Jade. I, Beckett Oliver, was totally and completely staring at Victoria Vega's ass in class today. And I don't even care. I'm not ashamed, because, she has a pretty great ass." He finishes up with a laugh and sees everyone's completely shocked faces.

He hears a squeak from beside him and prepares himself for the wrath of the Jade-monster. "You can't talk to me like that! I'm your girlfriend! You shouldn't even be looking at other girls! I knew it! I knew you were cheating on me with her! I saw the way you looked at each other the first day she came here and I found her rubbing you! Now you look at her ass!" She shouts, no doubt getting red in her pasty face.

"At least she has an ass." He mumbles, not needing to turn around to see the hysterical look she was currently sporting. "We're done, Oliver!" She only used his last name when she was extremely pissed off. She gets up in a hurry, but not before she dumped her salad on his lap.

Done and done. He thinks. He's a little surprised that he can't even bring himself to care that his two year relationship is finally over, but hey, he's Beck, when has he ever really cared about anything in the first place? When you met Tori. He internally winces. Whatever. He realizes that the table is still staring at him after a while. "What?" He asks aloud.

"'What?' Dude, you can't seriously say 'what' right now. You totally just got dumped and now you smilin' like an idiot. And not to mention you creepin' on Vega! What's up with that?" He figures Andre would be the one to defend Tori, and he's not disappointed. Dude was obviously into her.

He takes a look at Cat's confused face, Robbie's (and Rex's) shocked face, Andre's disgusted face, and finally, Tori's incredulous face with a blush coloring her cheeks, betraying her embarrassment. He smiles and winks at her before getting up and leaving the table, brushing leaves of salad off of him while he went, his last thought being, thank god Jade doesn't like dressing.

Kaboom. The Jade-myster explodes. I know it might seem a little sudden to have them break up in the second chapter, but obviously Beck has some built up resentment towards Jade. And whatever I never liked Jade to begin with. If you couldn't tell. ;) Sadly, this is not the complete end of Jade and Beck... I know, gross, right? But they still need to sort shit out, and I can't just have Bori get together in the third chapter or whatever. Where's the drama in that, bro? Anyways, I promise this will be Bori all the way. Just be patient. :) chapter 3 out soooon!
