I love hearing what you think! I'll most likely update tomorrow, so if you don't like this chapter, hopefully you'll like the next one.
Tori's POV
It was the fastest news to ever travel around Hollywood Arts. Everybody, including teachers, knew by first period.
"Tori!" Cat beckoned me over to her. "Have you heard?"
"Heard what?"
"You don't know? Beck and Jade are no longer Beck and Jade."
"What do you mean?" I asked, confused. Cat hit her head with her palm.
"And you all think I'm stupid. They broke up. Last night."
Apparently Jade called Cat last night crying her eyes out, similar to the way she'd done with me when she last dumped Beck.
"So why did she dump him?" I asked.
"Oh no, he dumped her. And this is the weird thing… apparently there's somebody else."
I controlled myself from bouncing off of the walls with happiness and instead bit my lip anxiously, but Cat continued, "I'll bet it's that Britney Grey. She and Beck take a class together. Hey, do you want a doughnut?"
She offered me a small plastic container with wads of pink tissue stuffed inside. Sat on the top were seven cream-covered doughnuts.
"Did your brother make them?" I questioned.
"Yeah! He forgot to turn the oven on at first, so I told him and he threw his shoe at me," she (weirdly) giggled at the memory. I stared at her with raised eyebrows for a tiny second, but jumped back into my normal skin before she noticed.
"I don't think I can afford the calories, Cat, sorry," I lied. Her mouth formed into a perfect 'O' shape.
"You have to pay for calories now? Why did nobody tell me?" she shouted and skipped off, leaving me with the container. I'd missed breakfast so I was hungry and tempted to have one. Surely they couldn't be that bad? All of a sudden, most of the doughnuts flew five foot in the air, apart from one that collided with my face. I wiped the cream from my eyes to discover Jade on the other end, with a sickly sly grin spread across her face.
"Whoops! Didn't see you there," she smirked, wiping a bit of cream off my face and placing it in her mouth.
"Cat's brother made those," I grinned back as she almost vomited. If looks could kill, I'd have been dead. Her eyes were the size of peas so she'd definitely been crying, but other than that she didn't look as though she was having a tough time dealing with the break up. The smile on her face could've fooled anyone. Anyone but me, because I knew who the someone else was. I was the reason Beck had broken up with her, and she knew it. I hadn't thought about it, but I was definitely in for a tough time with his former girlfriend.
"You think you're so clever, Vega, but messing with me was a big mistake. I'll have Beck back by the end of the week, and then where will you be? You'll have nothing, just like before, because people like you will never win," she cocked her head on one side and snarled, "It's a shame, because people think you're so nice. And you might be for all I know; I never gave you a chance to prove yourself. But now I don't have to. You've shown your true colours by stealing my boyfriend. And the doughnuts in your face? Man, I'm just getting started. I'd watch your back if I were you."
She gave my shoulder a nudge so hard that I went flying into my locker with a crash, and then flounced off. Everything that Jade had just said stuck in my mind like pins in a voodoo doll. She was never going to let this go. I mean, she had every right not to – I had unintentionally stolen her boyfriend. We weren't exactly together yet, in fact I'm not even sure if he wants us to be. I could totally understand if he was off dating for a while. Coming out of a two year relationship was bound to be difficult. More difficult for the dumpee rather than the dumper, I don't doubt.
Jade would destroy me. She made that perfectly clear. I handle her moods daily; but that's only Jade at her mildest temper. She could definitely go a lot worse than that, but how far would she go to get Beck back?
I conjured up an image of Beck in my mind. Even in my imagination, he was just as beautiful as in reality. He smiled; that cute, lopsided smile that makes my knees buckle every time I catch a glimpse of it. I could see why Jade was so reluctant to let him go – I mean, not just for his looks (though they helped quite a bit), but he was the loveliest person in the entire world. I wanted him, but Jade needed him. She would definitely have him back by the end of the week, even if Beck and I were in a relationship. He'd cheated on his two-year girlfriend, and I was positive that he wouldn't hesitate to cheat on me.
