Young Valcano's
Victoria Vega. A fascinating piece of art.
The name shouldn't even be mentioned within six feet of Jade West. Some 'Hollywood Arts' students would even argue that Jade had some odd sense, and knows just exactly when the girls name falls from someone's lips. Completely obsered; Not really. There was no hidden meaning behind the on flowing insults Jade shot towards the brunette...Well that is only to the naked eye. You'd have to terminate all distractions and focus on just how dilated those blue orbs were - though they did manage to change color from time to time - and that small piece was a very important to the Tori Vega - Jade West equation.
As much as they set up the front for everyone it was few that saw the staggering slip ups. Jade West had a knack for control. Yet that simple fact that she couldn't take inevitable matters into her own hands showed. It showed like see through glass. The way her eyes glazed over when she noticed the small fire start to ignite in Tori's coffee brown eyes - it was almost unimportant. Or how dark and big her pupils dilated when Tori actually showed up ready to retort her own opinion ( Come back )
Or maybe it was how everyone missed the way Tori pursed her lips every time the goth entered the room, ready to fight back if needed. It was just Tori being ready to defend herself; It was also how her eyes always seemed to drag down a little slower than - necessary - Jade's figure. Like she was trying to size her up.
Though one would have to wonder why they both chose to steal quick glances while the other isn't looking. Some students didn't. It was almost as if they were physical attracted to one another - scratch that they so are. Yet that drew deeper than you'd think. They hadn't accepted the attraction just yet, but they both did accept the idea of being completely infatuated with one another. The fascination was plain and obvious as day.
Fascination - The power to fascinate someone; the quality of being fascinating. Obsessed - An intense but short - lived passion or admiration for someone or something. See two totally different definitions, and yet holding so many similarities. Well...One) similarity Tori Vega feeling both of them towards the one and only Jade West...And Two) Jade West becoming fascinated and bossed with everything Tori Vega.
Point blank period. Jade West and Tori Vega was in denial...and they were denying something big.
'You're our management. So manage us cheek bones.' - Beca
Staring down at the text gave the brunette mixed emotions. It amused her how blant her friends could be, but none the less she was irritated by the fact they had texted her during school hours. Her eyes searched the halls instantly, she didn't even want to acknowledge the quickening of her heartbeat.
This was nothing new though, but she would never get use to the way her pulse rung in her ears, or how her anxiety always spiked up drastically. The feeling was sickening really, but she couldn't deny it gave her a sort of rush; exhilarating really. When everyone seemed to be busying themselves she rolled her eyes at her paranoia. Still not taking the risk she hunched over her locker blocking out anyone that could try to take a peak over her shoulder. Moments like these made her feel guilty, like she was some sort of cheap liar. She's never felt the need to tell anyone and no one has even questioned her about the secret ( Not like they'd suspect anything anyway ) still it was unsettling to keep this from everyone...her friends.
Why she was choosing to keep this from her friends was beyond her, but in her defense she didn't want to go through the pain of telling everyone about this. When she told Trina ( More like her sister catching her in the act ) there was questions being thrown her way, and a lot of blackmailing. She just didn't want to go through all of that...It seemed exhausting. Besides it wasn't like she could either.
They had made a pact; a rule of some sorts. 'Don't tell anyone, if siblings finds out that can be an exception. Just make sure no one else knows, including; friends, parents, and on occasion boyfriend/Girlfriend's.' Fair enough rule, she had to agree though. They couldn't really trust anyone, it seemed that anyone and everyone nowadays were practically gossip hounds. If it was exposed it would take out the meaning of the reason they even started this. It was for a good cause. Something that they couldn't just spread around.
"What the hell are you sneaking for?"
The rush was back, and she reacted on complete instincts. Jerking up at the sudden familiar voice; that seemed awfully close Tori slammed her head into the side of her locker. A moment of groaning passed before she hastily threw her phone in her locker shutting it with panicked force. Turning around her eyes scanned for the 'creeper' who snuck up on her so easily. When they landed on a smirking goth eyebrow raised in question, she frowned, and before she knew it she was glaring at the girl. While her heart lowered to a normal pace she tried to keep her eyes solely on Jade.
"Are you trying to give me a heart attack!"
Jade shrugged rolling her eyes; sipping on a cup of coffee that seemed to always be placed into her hands. Narrowing her are eyes at the goth Tori tried to observe her movements. Satisfied when she didn't see any indication the girl hadn't seen anything she sighed. Though Jade was a fairly ( Amazing really ) actor Tori didn't know if she could actually pin point the goths antics.
"You were creeping on me." Tori replied accusingly, causing Jade to groan in irritation.
"Look, Vega I'm not going to sit here and let you accuse me of things I've obviously done. On to more relevant things are you going to tell me why you're being so sneaky or not?"
You ever have those moments where you know you're going to be called out on a lie. The one where if you hesitant to long or answer to quickly you instantly just gave it away? Well... this wasn't one of those encounters. Jade had already caught her, and Tori knew she was testing her. Answer right or wrong, Jade will still snoop around for answers. It was apart of the goths hatred of being excluded out of information. Pondering the options a second to long, Tori winced when the brooding goth'sgoths eyes narrowed accusingly. Lie - and have Jade have even more the reason to be nosey - or tell the truth - while still giving Jade all the reason to call her on a bluff. There was no win situation for the brunette. Huffing Tori raked a hand through her hair toulousing the thick locks...
"I don't ask you about your business, so do you mind sticking your nose elsewhere?"
"You're hiding something Vega, so I'm making it my business."
There reaction time to each other was outstanding. Tori stood hand clenching her bag, Jade arms crossed wight shifted to her dominant side. There eyes blazed together set in determination. Not something usual per say, but how close they were was very...well let's just say it turned a few heads.
"All I'm saying is I'd really appreciate it if you'd respect my personal buisness Jade." Jade snorted in objection.
"What business do you have that isn't written in bold letters across the world wide newspaper. You're an open book...pretty damn boring to."
"Then please do tell me why you're sniffing around fishing for more info about me? Sounds like I'm interesting enough to catch your attention."
That was it. Jade took just one step closer, Tori following her movements swiftly. They were a mere feet apart - if that - and it was pretty damn nerve wrecking if you'd ask them. There breathing mingled together forming a perfect synchronized harmony. Chest rising with the bubbling anger. The lack of space had thrown them both off. Though the pride they both had showed, when they professionally ignored the bothersome feeling. Instead they continued to stare the other down, waiting for the other to slip up. Trying to spot that small piece of weakness they always found in each other.
"You know what I'm no liar Vega, I'll admit- it. You fascinate me. Just the thoughts that someone out there has enough pride not to back down form me...is really thrilling. Humiliating you isn't really a hobby, I take more serious than that. It's a job. A life goal really. You have that fire, and you know what? It's pretty fucking exciting."
Tori blinked staggering back; momentarily stunned. Jade smirked leaning against the girls locker tauntingly. There it was...Jade had found that weakness. The element of surprise, and Tori was certainly shell-shocked. Shamefully Tori had to admit that Jade played her well. For a moment she actually believed the goths words. It had taken a few seconds for the hint of sarcasm to overshadow the sincerity.
"What's wrong Vega? Aren't you all about honesty, because if we are friends like you say, then surly we'd have to share things...they do say honesty is the best trait to a friendship. Right?"
Slowly recovering Tori frowned. This was something new. Jade never tried to toy with her like this, it was just something out of the blue. What really ticked her off, is that she actually fell for that manipulation. Two can play this. Tori was an actress who was just as good as Jade, she could do this. Grinning Tori nodded, her usual perk armed and ready.
"You're right. And since we're two friends who haven't made much progress in their documentary, Maybe you my friend would like to come over tonight to work on it with me? You'd do that right? I mean we are bestiesbe sties and all."
Jade continued on smirking. She wouldn't let Tori Vega throw her off the loop again. Neither would Tori, as she smiled encouragingly. Jade would no doubt take the bait. Too bad she had something planned just because in these situations Jade was so predictable.
"I have nothing planned, so I don't see why not."
"Okay great, see you at seven. Bye Jade."
It was dangerous, and Tori knew that, but she had half a second to think about the consequences. So to say her lack of better judgment was a little off, wouldn't be a complete lie.
"Whateve-"
Tori hurriedly made her way towards the front doors. Jade tensed body and mind shutting down instantly. She didn't have time to even turn to the retreating Vega. Yet all she could register, was they way her cheek tingled and burned all the same. When a locker slammed shut down a few rows did she snap out of it. She registered one thing. The tingles and also the soft pair of lips that had previously occupied her cheek.
Tori Vega sighed. Not only for her building frustration, but also her reeling mind. The buzz in her pocket stopped her from walking into the busy parking lot on autopilot. Brows deep below it's average position, Tori fished it out sighing once again after spotting the familiar name flashing across her screen.
'I know you read my first text cheekbones. Jeez I knew that school was a big distraction, but not responding to my text. Oh that's just rude. Anyway were coming over at six tonight. So don't make any plans you bozo.'- Beca
Oh wow I lied again about revealing the singer...Well there you have it folks, I'm the biggest liar of them all...Nah honestly I'm sorry about this random update. Not even going to say I'll update tomorrow, because I know I won't. But I hope it'd be soon.
Write Ya Later ;)
