A/N: Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. I honestly feel so bad for leaving this behind for so long. I had a lot going on. I hope you can understand.

Chapter 9: Teacher

Tori excused herself from class to head over to the new photography classroom. She looked around and sighed. She didn't even know what lesson she would teach today.

The Latina grabbed the box that she saw, it was filled with cameras. She then placed it on the table right in front of the classroom by the whiteboard. Just like how teachers normally start their day, she wrote her name on the board with the dry erase marker.

"Miss.. Vega." Tori closed the pen and threw it onto the holder. "Gosh, even hearing it out loud with my own voice is weird." It was then when the bell rang. Tori sighed gently, looking out the door for a second. "Well, here it goes."

Hoping that there won't be any problems.

Students started to fill up the room one by one. When the bell rang for a second time for the class to start, that's when she greeted herself. Clearing her throat. "H-Hi, my name is Miss Vega! But, I'd like it if you called me Tori."

One of the students raised their hand, which made Tori call on her. "Yes?"

"Aren't you the girl off Instagram? I swear my friend follows you and talks about your pictures all day! Oh, and you're dating Jade! Right?!" The girl asked with such curiosity.

The class gasped loudly. "Well, yes I am.. you see, I like sharing my stories all around the world! All my photos aren't just pictures. They're a piece of art I'd say. There's always things around this world that bring so much inspiration to one's mind."

"Oh.. and yes, I'm dating Jade."

Before the class could gasp once more, Tori held her hands out and chuckled. "I know, I know that you guys are shocked! Cause Jade is technically scary in this school, right? You know, I'm surprised not many of you recognize me. A girl from this school mentioned Jade when I was actually looking for her."

"What do you mean that you were looking for her?" One student asked, then the others nodded cause they wanted to know.

"Well, I was on a trip to Maui and Jade happened to be there at the same time as me. I saw a beautiful view by the pool. I decided to take a picture and Jade was in the background of it and I didn't even know!"

Tori continued to explain. "I went through my photos and I saw Jade. Seeing how beautiful she was.. I zoomed in to see more of such a beauty. I went on my socials and asked if anyone knew of her. Thanks to a girl from here."

Aa she said that, she noticed a girl blushing like hell. Looking as if she wanted to scream and freak out. "You okay there?" Tori asked, she hasn't even started the lesson yet. Then again, they're just getting to know one another as a class.

"I-I'm the one who brought you two together.." Hailey said with a small smile. Tori walked up to Hailey with a camera that was inside of the box. "And now I want you to do me a favor, hm? Take pictures of what you see and create stories with them." Hailey nodded.

'So far, so good.' Tori thought, and found it very sweet how that girl ended up in her class. "Anyways! I think it's time for the lesson, huh? Bare with me please.. I was kinda forced to teach today."

Tori passed out a camera to each student with one hand while holding onto the box with the other. Once the box was empty, she started to explain what she wanted the students to do.

"So.. basically what I just told Hailey to do." Of course she remembered her name. The girl brought her and Jade together after all. "I want you to turn on the camera and play around with it a bit. Get a feel of it. How it works, and what feels comfortable for you."

They all turned on the camera and did as told.

"Uh, and then my assignment today? I guess, just take some photos of things that really speak to you! Don't just snap, really feel the story behind it!" Tori explained. "Like say.." She looked around, then pointed at a bunch of posters in the back. "This! Don't just stand there and take it.. really feel it."

Tori squatted and turned the camera at an angle. Then looked into the viewfinder before snapping the picture. "What's so special about that?"

"Well, each angle tells a different story." Tori knew it sounded really silly but it's honestly the truth. "Try it yourself.. and you'll see exactly what I-"

Jade stepped inside the class, interrupting Tori. "Jade? What're you doing here? You're supposed to be in class!"

Jade chuckled. "Yeah, but I decided to come on in and check to see how you're doing. So, how's it going?"

"Good so far! I just hope that it won't be hard in my next lessons."

The class ended up going smoothly for the remainder of the period. Now, Tori can be back to being a student.

Sitting down for lunch, Jade invited her to sit with the gang. Lots of sights already for Tori. Robbie putting his rash cream on. Andre dipping his fries into his soda cause he was bored. Beck looking at himself in the mirror, and Cat a giggling mess.

Tori sat down and placed her food onto the table, opening the lid. "I think it's gonna take me a while to get used to you folks. You all are so different." The Latina said, taking a bite of the food.

"Trust me, the longest for me was Robbie." Jade raised her eyebrow at him.

"Hey, what did I do?!" Robbie said, still rubbing the cream. Making sure it was in there good. "You breathe." Jade may be soft to Tori, but her evil side still shines through. "Rude!"

Tori took a sip of her drink before speaking. "I still can't believe that Helen made me teach a class on my very first day here!" Cat grabbed her phone, but stared at Tori as she was texting without looking at the screen.

"I'm sure it won't be a forever thing, right?" Tori widened her eyes. "How are you doing that?"

"Doing what?" Cat giggled, still typing the message. "How are you texting without looking? Isn't that hard?" Tori asked curiously, it was her first time seeing someone do that.

"We once had to give her a toy phone. Cause she really can't be without it." Andre went in on the conversation now. "Ah, I see. Yep, this is something to get used to. But I already have my favorite."

"Who? It's me right!" Andre said with so much excitement. "It's got to be me!"

"Uh no, it's Jade. Trust me, you all are wonderful. I'm so glad that I can call all of you my friends now. But, Jade is pretty much my best friend. Her ranking is pretty high." Tori said, taking another bite of her food.

"Ah, pretty lady! You're lucky that you are well known, okay? Cause I'm offended!" Rex spoke with such attitude. Tori held up her camera that was around her neck. "Don't make me torture you up and snap a picture of you so it'll last forever."

"I take that back, Jade is great! Heh!" Rex looked over to Robbie now with concern. Jade however smirked. "You're turning into me. What have I done to you?" She asked, kissing the girl's cheek.

"Loving me." Tori giggled, turning her head so she could kiss those lips in full. The gang cringed.

"Oh, c'mon y'all! Get a room, huh?" Andre grabbed another fry and dipped it into his soda.

"Is that even good?" Beck asked. "Honestly? No." Andre said, placing the exact fry into his mouth. Pretty interesting of a day.
