I really wanted 40 reviews before I posted this but that didn't happen but it was close enough haha. So thanks to all of you when I first started writing this I didn't think it would be this loved by y'all. I had played around with the idea of writing a Victorious fanfic but for the life of me I couldn't come up with anything until one day this story just popped into my head. Anyway enough of my blah blah enjoy the chapter.

I don't own Victorious.

In His Shadow

Chapter 5-Peer Pressured into Saying Things

Tori: Thanks for carrying me to my room last night :{)

Beckett: No problem dear ;)

Tori: What r u doing today?

Beckett: Interview and then a photo-shoot.

Tori: Awesome! Sikowitz is making Robbie & Rex do the balcony scene from Romeo & Juliet.

Beckett: Let me guess Robbie's Juliet.

Tori: Yup, he's even wearing a dress and Helen just walked in :O

Beckett: I wish I could see her face hahaha

Tori: Priceless

Tori looked over at their principal, she was looking at Robbie like he had issues despite the fact that Sikowitz came up with a rather convincing explanation about why Robbie was in a dress. Apparently in Shakespeare's day boys would play the parts of girls. Helen told Robbie that they had a school counselor if he ever wanted to talk about things and then she walked out of the room.

"Why me?" Robbie said hanging his head.

"Alright Robbie you can get out of the dress, I think you've been through enough." Sikowitz said. Robbie pulled the dress up over his head and dropped it at Sikowitz's feet before returning to his seat. "Well that's all I have for you today, class dismissed."

"We still have twenty minutes." Andre said.

"Oh just let him dismiss us." Jade said fixing Andre with a light glare. She pointed her scissors, which she had been using to cut the ends of her hair during Robbie's performance, at Andre and said, "We have a song that we need to finish writing and that we need to start recording."

"Right, lets go then." Andre said standing up.

The two of them left the classroom and soon everybody else followed. Cat, Robbie, and Tori took a seat on the stairs since they had no where to go. Cat told them about how she saw her brother eat her favorite pair of earrings and how he returned them to her a couple hours later. Both Tori and Robbie looked at her with looks of disgust especially since she was wearing said pair of earrings.

"He cleaned them!" Cat said.

"Sure he did." Rex said.

"Robbie he's being mean to me!"

"Rex!"

"She's the one wearing earrings that her brother fished out of the toilet." Rex said.

"He has a point Cat, do you really want to wear something that was in the toilet along with your brother's waste?" Tori said in a somewhat sad tone so Cat wouldn't get offended. "Think about it they've been in some pretty nasty stuff."

"You're right but they're my favorite." Cat said taking her earrings off.

"I have some candy, do you want some Cat?" Robbie asked.

"Oh yay candy!" Cat said throwing her arms up forgetting about her earrings. She took the candy from Robbie and turned to Tori. "Do you want some?"

"No thanks I'm good." Tori said looking down at her phone. She laughed at the picture Beck sent her of his impersonation of Helen.

"Someone's a bit more cheerful today than they were yesterday." Robbie said.

"Yeah, who are you texting?" Cat said reaching over Robbie to get at his backpack. She pouted when she was denied the sugary goodness and took out her PearPad.

"Beck." She held up the phone and showed them the picture. "This is what he thinks Helen's face looked like when she saw you in the dress Robbie."

"It looks like he's been mentally scarred." Robbie said loudly.

"It was mentally scarring." Rex quipped.

"I know." Robbie said.

Tori: Robbie says that ur face looks like u've been mentally scarred lol

Beckett: Tell Rob that wearing a dress is no big deal ;)

"Beck says that wearing a dress is not a big deal." Tori said looking up at her clearly upset friend.

"He would say that he's never had to wear one and if he has he probably looked good in it." Robbie said standing up and walking away.

"Where are you going?" Tori and Cat called after him.

"I have to pee!" He said angrily.

"Ha-ha Robbie's got a small bladder." Rex laughed.

"Tori! Beck posted cute pictures of you on The Slap." Cat said once they were alone in the hallway. She shook her pink PearPad in Tori's face. "Were you with him yesterday night?"

"Uh yeah, we went to go see The Avengers at the drive-in with the good hot dogs." Tori said taking the PearPad from Cat's hands to look at the pictures Beck posted of her.

"Oh I love that place!" Cat said excitedly. She looked at the screen and smiled at the picture of Tori lying down with the blue blanket over her head. "Haha what does the caption say?"

"It says, 'It must be cold because Tori decided that one hood isn't enough and had to make another out of her blanket.'"

"There's one where you're sleeping." Cat said taking the PearPad from Tori and finding said picture. "It says, 'Tori looks kinda cute sleeping, the traffic you see behind her is just gross.' Oh and look at this one."

It was a picture of Tori carrying a bottle of lemonade the caption read: 'My favorite drink carried by my favorite girl who's rockin' some awesome polka-dotted socks.' Tori looked through the rest of the gallery smiling at pictures of her and Beck and laughing at the witty captions Beck had come up with. Her favorite picture was the one of Beck giving her a piggy back ride to the concession stand, the caption read: 'Tori lost her shoes in my truck bed and I decided to throw out my back by giving her a piggy back ride all the way to the concession stand she felt bad for me later and gave me a back rub.' There was a picture of Beck in her glasses that said, 'Tori's really blind but we both make these glasses look good.'

"You guys look like you had tons of fun." Cat said logging off of The Slap and putting her PearPad away. "When are you going to tell Beck that you like him?"

"Cat!" Tori said.

"What!" Cat shrieked.

"I don't like Beck." Tori said wanting to drop this conversation.

"Right you love him." Cat said. "You should tell him because it's pretty obvious that he loves you too."

"Cat, I don't want to talk about this." Tori sighed.

"Talk about what?" Cat asked sounding clueless.

"Beck."

"What about Beck?" Cat asked tilting her head to the side looking at Tori with wide eyes.

"He told me to tell you that he says hi." Tori said.

"Oh I say hi back, why wouldn't you want to talk about that? I would think that you would hate talking about how he has to kiss Isabelle McLean."

"He's acting Cat." Tori said with more edge than she had intended.

Beck: Hey Beautiful :)

Vicky: What's up Handsome ;)

Beck: I have a present for you

Vicky: What is it?

Beck: An autographed poster of Tyler Perry

Vicky: NO way! Thank you times a million

Beck: I like the back better though, the guy has amazing hair

Vicky: Eh I have plenty of pictures of that guy :P

Beck: That kind of hurt :( Want to go for a fro-yo run?

Vicky: After rehearsal, we're done at 6:30.

Beck: Ok I'll pick you up

Vicky: K see you then :{)

Beck flopped down onto his bed, he was exhausted and was looking forward to spending time with Tori. He looked at his pile of homework and groaned, how he wished he could just go to school instead of being home-schooled but school didn't agree with his new schedule. He wouldn't change the way things turned out but he did want to go back to Hollywood Arts, perform in school plays, sit in Sikowitz's class, and see his friends everyday. He made a mental note to get the group together for game night or something that weekend, they could play Catchphrases. A laugh escaped his lips as he remembered the first time they played how Jade yelled scissors for the whole game and when it actually was scissors she got it wrong and threw the game at Trina who just walked in with four boxes of shoes. They were definitely getting together and playing that game.

Tori laughed at the sight of Beck, his dark hair was messy and it looked like he just got out of bed. He defended himself by saying that he did in fact get out of bed. She wasn't done with rehearsal but he sat in the audience and waited patiently for her to be finished. After they were done everyone rushed over to Beck and bombarded him with questions. Cat took Tori by the arm and led her backstage where Jade was cutting up a 'no talking' sign, they both looked at her with their eyebrows arched.

"What?" she snarled.

"Why did you cut that sign?"Tori asked pointing to the pieces at Jade's feet.

"Because it said no talking." Jade said kicking the pieces. "Now its just trash, serves it right for telling me what to do."

"Huh?" Tori said confused.

"Oh!" Cat said.

"What?" Tori said.

"Jade doesn't like it when things tell her what to do." Cat said.

"That's right." Jade said.

"So why did you drag me back here Cat?" Tori asked.

"Tell him you like him." Cat begged.

"Yeah Vega tell Beck you like him." Jade said pointing her scissors at her. "I gave you my blessing and even said that I wouldn't hurt you so what is taking you so dang long?"

"Guys..."

"Tell him before you lose him." Cat said putting a hand on Tori's shoulder.

"You can't lose what you don't have." Jade mumbled. When Tori and Cat glared at her she cleared her throat and said, "Cat's right if you don't tell him now there's a great chance that you'll never get him once the movie comes out and then you'll be forced to watch him be all grossly infatuated with someone like Isabelle McLean."

"Alright!" Tori groaned.

What did you think? Please review and tell me.
