Chapter 5: Picture Surprise

It's been a week since the two started dating. Sharing kisses, spending time together, and other stuff.

It was a school day for the both of them, but Tori decided to surprise Jade. She had printed the photos of Jade's headshots before placing them into a folder.

Tori took the right bus to Hollywood Arts, at this time it would be lunch over there. The Latina had been told by Jade before that she usually sits with her gang at a specific table. So, she tried to keep that in mind.

The last stop came, she pulled the wire to request the bus to stop. Soon, Tori got off of the bus, and took a five minute walk into the school's parking lot.

From a distance she noticed the raven haired girl she was looking for, making the Latina smirk just a bit. Tori walked up to the tables, being a couple away from Jade's gang. It was then when they all looked up except for Jade.

Tori brought a finger over her own lips to silence the gang. "What're you all looking at?" Jade raised her pierced eyebrow while Tori then brought her hands right over Jade's eyes.

Jade could only see darkness, but her face didn't look pretty anymore. "Take your fucking hands off of my damn face!"

"Or what?" Tori said in a quiet tone, her voice wasn't recognizable yet. "Or I'm gonna fucking jab this fork into your eyes until they fall out of your eye sockets!" She said as she held a fork up, this teen wasn't playing.

Tori smirked, she had to admit that Jade's bad side is actually pretty hot. This is when she brought her lips near the gothic girl's ear and spoke. "Mm, but I thought you loved my eyes? I don't think digging them out with a fork will make anything better for you. Hm?"

That's when Jade slowly put the fork down to let that voice sink in. "Wait.." She smiled and moved those hands away to see her lover right there from behind. "Oh my god, hey!"

Jade got up and pulled Tori into the biggest warm yet loving embrace. "What're you doing here?! You're supposed to be at Eastwood."

Tori kept Jade in her arms but then brought them away for a second to pull out the folder from her bag. "Well, I decided to surprise you. So.. I kinda ditched school and went to go print your headshots." The brunette opened up the folder that contained all the shots she took of Jade. "Gosh, talk about beautiful."

Jade was gonna respond but Beck cleared his throat. Tori brought her attention onto Beckett, bringing her head to the side. "And let me guess.. you're the asshole?"

"What makes any of you think I'm such an asshole? In fact, what makes you think I'm an asshole, you haven't even met me!" Beck yelled at Tori straight up. She wasn't having any of it though.

Tori laughed very sarcastically, crossing her arms. "You're very funny.. Beck is it? You know, I don't care how angry you were that you didn't get what you wanted from Jade.. but hurting her physically is just so w-" Jade grabbed Tori's arm, "Don't babe, he's not worth it."

Tori rolled her eyes, just looking at the sight of Beck already made her so sick. She gave him a nasty look. Jade didn't want this to get into a huge argument or a fight even. "C'mon, I'll take you to meet Sikowitz."

Jade grabbed her bag and headed back inside the school. "The acting teacher you told me about? The one who drinks out of a coconut and wears clothing as if he's homeless?"

The gothic teen stepped inside to see Sikowitz already sipping from his coconut. "Why hello there Jade!" He noticed Tori right away. "And stranger, who might you be?"

"I'm Tori, Tori Vega! You obviously don't know me, but I'm pretty known on social media for taking pictures and stuff!" Tori said with a smile on her face. "And I'm also dating Jade.. you learn something new."

Sikowitz clapped his hands a couple of times before sitting down on the little stage he had in the classroom, right by the whiteboard. "Pictures? Interesting! Do you have anything else that you can do?"

Tori brought her head to the ceiling to think, she had no clue. "Well n-"

"Quick, be an old lady trying to carry heavy groceries!" Sikowitz quickly said with such enthusiasm while pointing at the photographer.

"Uhh, what?" Tori looked so confused.

Jade rolled her eyes, of course Sikowitz would do that. Even to a person who doesn't even attend this school. "He said to act like an old lady trying to carry heavy groceries."

"But Jade, I can't do that!"

"He honestly won't stop bothering you until you actually do it. So, I suggest you to do it.. even if you're bad at it."

Tori whined, placing her bag down on the floor somewhere. "Alright, fine!"

The brunette cleared her throat before pretending she couldn't stand well, and put on an old lady voice. "I can't hold my bags, they're too heavy for m-me! C-Can anyone help me? I'm just an old lady!" She never felt so embarrassed in her whole entire life.

"Alright uh.. sing!"

"What?"

"Sing for me, Tori! Impress me!"

"But.. I can't sing! I'm horrible at it!"

Sikowitz crossed his arms, smirking at the Latina. "You heard Jade, I won't stop bothering you until you do as I say."

"Ugh!" Tori closed her eyes to picture herself all alone. It was then when she started to sing a song that she wrote.

A verse in and already Sikowitz and Jade got intrigued. When Tori opened her eyes from finishing the song, Jade and Sikowitz both had their jaws wide open.

"What? Was I that horrible? Agh, I knew it!"

Jade shook her head as she brought Tori into her arms, "No, baby.. you're talented!"

"What do you mean?" Tori raised her eyebrow in such confusion. "You can sing! Like, really sing!"

"You Tori need to audition for Hollywood Arts, and I mean it!" Sikowitz wasn't even kidding. He knew talented kids when he sees one. "Honestly I'd let you through but from what happened last time.. never again!"

"But I go to Eastwood, I'm nothing special but a photographer!" Tori tried to talk herself out of this situation, how could she not even hear the talent in her? "He's right Vega, you have to audition! Think about it.. you don't have to keep ditching school just to see me. You'll always be by my side every single day." Jade placed a small gentle kiss over Tori's lips. "Please? For me?"

Tori thought about it now, it did sound amazing to always be with Jade. No ditching, taking the bus, and all that good stuff. But she just didn't understand how she could be talented. She thought she just was good at taking pictures.

"You're not saying this just to not make me feel so bad, right?"

"Babe, if me and Sikowitz both see the talent in you.. what makes you think that we're lying?"

Tori sighed, "When's the auditions?" She asked. "Tomorrow. Right after school, just prepare a song and sing it right in front of the principal, Helen. She'll decide whether or not you have what it takes to be into this school."

"Fine." Jade then brought a strand of Tori's hair around her earlobe, looking into those eyes. "I'll be right there. You're talented, you have exactly what it takes to be in this school."

"I still can't see how I'm talented."

Oh, but she is talented. If only she could just hear it.
