Jade groaned when there was a loud bang at the door. She hated answering the door for people. They always wanted to sell something to her, and if this was another salesperson asking her to buy chocolates or cookies, she was going to hurt someone.

She rolled her heavily eye-liner applied eyes when she opened the door and saw Tori standing there. "Ughh, what?"

How did Tori even know where she lived? Jade's hand went to her hair, which was up in a girly pony-tail. Her hair was raven black with all different shades of blue highlights. She never wore her hair up when she went out. Only Beck and her best friend, Cat, ever saw her like that. She wasn't a frilly princess like the long haired girl standing in front of her. Though, with her blue shirt choice she seemed like a completely different person.

"You'll never guess what just happened." Tori was holding a pink paper and she was fuming.

Jade, on the other hand, was completely calm. "Does it look like I care? No. So, go away!"

She was about to close the door on her when Tori stepped in and stopped the door from closing. "I jut finished my audition for that new play at school and Cat and Beck were there too."

Jade's face resembled so much boredom. "I know. They told me."

"Ahh," she said, raising her tiny eyebrows, "but did you know that they were paired to audition together?"

She yawned. "I'm bored."

"They kissed, Jade. Cat and Beck kissed!"

Obviously, Tori was expecting Jade to go on a crazy jealous rampage. But she was disappointed when Jade remained motionless.

"Aren't you upset?" she asked.

Jade shrugged. "Cat's my best friend. She'd never try to steal my boyfriend, it was just acting, and... Wait, why am I telling YOU this. GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!"

And with that, Jade shoved Tori out and slammed the door in her face.

...

On Monday morning, Cat closed her eyes and took a deep breath before walking into the doors of Hollywood Arts High School. The parts for the play were being posted today and she fiddled with her fingers, nervous. She always did that when she was nervous and right now she felt like she was going to b sick to her stomach.

"Hey, Cat."

Cat turned and saw Tori standing at her locker, signaling her to go over. Cat didn't want to go, but she went anyway, well, more like skipped, and had a huge fake smile on her face. "Hiya, Tori!"

"I just wanted to say good luck with the call backs."

Cat's smile turned real then. "Thanks. You too."

Cat walked to her own locker then and put her books inside. Her heart skipped a beat when she noticed the call backs being posted on the bulletin board.

Cat covered her ears with her hands when she heard Tori scream. "UNDERSTUDY? I'M THE FREAKING UNDERSTUDY?"

When most of the crowd cleared, Cat walked up and traced the list with her right index finger that has a giant, pink flower ring on it. She smiles when she sees that she got the part of Ella. Tori was her understudy... That was going to be awkward.

"Congrats, lil'red."

"Thanks, Andre," Cat smiled when Andre checked the list as well, since he was composing the music for the play. He probably wanted to see what vocal ranges the main actors were.

Cat had to blink a few times when she saw who wrote the play. Before, it was a mystery to everyone. But now it said 'Written by Evelyn East.' Who was Evelyn East? Cat never heard of her before.

"That'll show Tori that she isn't little miss perfect like she thinks."

Cat turned and saw Jade and Beck there. Beck was reading the list and Jade was talking to Cat. She was back to wearing all black and her hair was down like it always was.

"Did you get the lead, Beck?" Jade asked.

"Yep. Alongside Cat," he looked at her and smiled. When his brown eyes met hers, her stomach did a little flip.

Jade smirked. "Perfect."
