Chapter One: First Day of School
(Tori's Pov)
I woke up to the sound of Trina screaming my name. "Tori! Hurry up! I'm leaving!" Okay, so she's leaving. what's the big deal? I closed my eyes and just as I was about to fall asleep I remembered. Today is my first day at Hollywood Arts! I'm going to see that gorgeous girl! Well hopefully, I will.
I immediately stood up grabbed some clothes and ran to the bathroom. I took a really quick shower, the water was freezing thanks to Trina. I always forget that she uses all the hot water, I immediately change and run down the stairs.
"Finally! Let's go! I was about to leave you here. Anyways I don't know if you know Tori but I'm well-known in Hollywood Arts, so as soon as we enter the school, I won't know you okay?" That's fine by me.
"Sure Trina." I wouldn't mind not knowing her.
We made our way to her car, and soon enough we made it to Hollywood Arts.
I became a little nervous as I walked through the door, everyone was so different. It made me doubt myself, I'm just a normal girl who can sing, and these people are probably really talented. I look into the lockers and nod my head silently at myself, they are way too into art.
"See, it's just a high school." yeah, sure it is Trina. My old school doesn't look anything like this.
"Trina, this is not just a high school every one of this kids looks really artsy, and creative, and talented. Unlike them I'm just normal." I start to think that maybe this was a mistake.
"It's Okay! There's nothing wrong with average Tori!" That doesn't help Trina.
"Anyways you are not alone, I got your back." Well that's nice, this is the first time that Trina told me something comforting.
"Oka" that's all I say before a girl comes and starts talking to Trina, and just like that the girl who supposedly had my back runs, to see a guy who today decided to straighten his hair.
I should have known that Trina helping me was too good to be true.
I had to get directions, I didn't know where my class was. I see a girl with velvet hair pass me by so I decided to ask her.
"Hey do you" But she didn't let me finish. What is it with people today and not letting me finish my sentences?
"Oh my god! You're Tori!" she says as she jumps up and down, she's way too happy, even for me.
"Uh-huh" Who is this girl?
"You were so awesome in the big showcase." that actually made me feel better.
"Awe thanks!" she seems really nice, now that I look closely at her, she's really pretty, she reminds me of something though.
"My name is Cat." Cat? Kitty Cat!? That's what she reminds me of! She seems as adorable as a Cat.
"Oh, like the animal." She would look really cute with cat ears on, wait I mean she would look great with a little tai- I really need to concentrate.
"What's that suppose to mean!?" Cat asks as she looks at me questioningly.
I try to say something, anything, I didn't know what I did wrong. Maybe I offended her? "Nothing, I love cats."
"Me too! They're so cute!" and she walks away, yeah she seems a little odd. I wonder if all the Hollywood Art students are the same? That would explain why me and Trina never get along.
I hear the door open and I turn around to see a guy with a puppet? Maybe he will help me.
"Hey" I tried to talk to him but he starts to walk away and then suddenly he stops and looks at me, like I'm the best thing he ever saw.
"Hello! Female? yes?" What in the world? Of course I'm female, can't he even tell? That's so mean, do I look boyish are something?
I almost walked away but I remember that I had to ask him something. " Yeah, I was wondering if you could tell me where Sikowitz classroom is?"
"Okay, if you had, do north for about thirty paces and" before he can finish his sentence, he get's cut off by the puppet. Yeah there's no respect in this school.
" Paces? The girl is no pirate!" And they start to argue, who argues with their puppet? Is that even healthy?
I try to walk away but as I do the puppet gives me easy enough directions. " Thank you." that's all I say before walking away.
"Whatever it takes, cupcake!" what the!? Why do all the weird guys hit on me!? Now that I think about it, his even weirder than Ian. I wouldn't even mind if kitty Cat would hit on me, she seemed a little odd, but she was so cute!
The guy with the puppet tried to explain himself but I just shook my head, and walked away. That's right Tori, just walk away and don't look back, I feel his gaze on my body and I walked faster, this was so awkward!
As I made my way to the classroom I can't help but try to look for the girl who has haunted my dreams. How can I find her in such a big school? Hopefully she will be in my class.
I open the door only to see that only a few students are there, and what a surprise! She isn't here. I put my bag down, school hadn't even started and I already felt a headache coming, I need some fresh air.
I turn around and start walking without looking where I was going and I ran into a guy, his drink fell all over his shirt.
"Oh my gosh!" I see his face and double oh my gosh, his really hot.
"It's cool it's" that's all he says before I interrupt him.
"It's not cool, I spilled your drink all over you." I immediately try to clean it off with my hand, but it only seemed to make it worse.
"It's okay, you're sweet, but you might be making it worse." he smiles as I continue to rub down on him, I mean clean his shirt. If it wasn't for the fact that I might have a huge crush on the girl that I saw on the showcase. I might have enjoyed this, but I wasn't.
Here I was with this good-looking guy and I couldn't help but be disappointed that I haven't seen her yet.
"Dude! Why are you rubbing my boyfriend!?" as soon as I heard the girl's voice I felt my heart skip a beat, could it be? I turn around to see that it was her. It was really her! Wait did she say boyfriend?
"Oh, I spilled coffee on him and I was" and she interrupted me, I was a little glad for that, I couldn't get over the fact that I didn't realize that she might have a boyfriend.
"Get away from him!" Yeah there goes my chances of me having a shot with her. It was bad enough that she has a boyfriend but now she probably thinks that I'm hitting on him or something.
He immediately goes to her side and kisses her on the cheek. "relax." that's all he says and she does, I can still fill her eyes on me but I can't help but look down.
Of course she has a boyfriend, why wouldn't she? But did he have to kiss her in front of me? Even if it was on the cheek, it still hurt me to see it.
I was feeling a little depressed, it didn't feel good seeing them together.
"Oh my god! There's a huge fire!" everyone starts running and screaming but I only look at the man. His the same guy that I met earlier I think I gave him two dollars? What is he doing here?
Wait did he say fire, I was about to seriously jump out the window when I heard his voice.
"Kidding, Kidding" What person jokes about a fire?
It shock me when I found out that he was my teacher. I really thought that he was homeless.
I close my eyes and I don't pay attention to class. My mind kept wondering back to her, she probably hates me, she has a boyfriend, but most of all why did I have to rub her boyfriend of all people?
I listen to the teacher as he goes and explains what improv is, he asks a girl named Jade to pick a group first.
It surprised me to see that it was her, so her name is Jade. It suits her, I can't help it when I end up checking her out, she has a great body, and by the way that she dresses, I can tell that she knows. Her voice sounds great too, I wonder if she can sing?
"Cat, Eli, Beck, and Vega." She says, I smile thinking this was going to be fun, I couldn't wait to see her acting. Wait did she say Vega? Why would she call me? But most importantly why didn't she call me Tori?
I see a small smirk on her face as she glances at me. I don't really know her but for some reason I know that sexy smirk of hers will be trouble for me.
I hesitantly make my way to the stage and her smirk widens, I swear I felt a shiver down my spine and not the good kind.
"Why don't you wait on the hall?" I should have notice something was wrong when she gave me that innocent smile of hers.
Instead I silently walk outside I was really nervous. What is she going to do? I wait for them to call my name, and I can't help but wonder what I could do to apologize to her.
I don't want her to hate me, I want to at least be her friend, I could work my way up from that. I gave a loud sigh as I see the door open there she stood with her devious smirk.
"I went to the animal shelter and got us a dog!" I couldn't believe it, was this her way of getting revenge?
"Yeah, I'm the new family dog! Woof! Woof!" This was so humiliating, She was being so mean.
But my pain didn't end up there, she made me be a dog, I had to literally get down and sit like a dog, and I couldn't even speak since she said that dogs don't speak.
The improv continue and she kept humiliating me. She told everyone that I had bugs on my fur. I can't help it when I silently shiver as her hand touched the scalp of my head. Why does the first girl who I ever really had a crushed on has to make my life a living hell!?
It was only an accident I'm known to be clumsy, and it's my first day of school. How should I know who am I'm not suppose to rub? I mean, I just wanted to help the guy out. It wasn't like I was undressing him, or throwing myself at him. I was simply being nice.
When I thought that my humiliation was over it only got worse, she wasn't finish yet, of course she wasn't. She spilled iced coffee on my hair, I was glad that it wasn't hot but it still sucked.
I stood up abruptly and looked at her, she didn't even look like she regretted it, she had a big smirk on her face as she called me dog one more time.
I never felt like this before, I seriously felt like my heart stopped, it was so hard to breath, and those eyes of hers were mocking me.
I couldn't take it anymore I ran outside the classroom tears slipping down my eyes. I thought that this day would turn out great, I thought that I made a great decision by coming here, but most of all I just wanted to see her. I wanted to see those beautiful eyes of hers.
I should have guessed that something like this was going to happen. This was not one of those cheesy novels that I like to read. Not only did she had a boyfriend but by the looks of it she hated my guts.
She spilled coffee on me, she made me feel so bad, but not because of the coffee or the improv but because it was her the one causing me this pain.
If it had been any other person I would have yelled, I would have said something but because it was her I ended up running away.
I sit on one of the stairs and I take my phone out and I call one of my friends from my old school.
"Sup! Tor." I miss her.
"Alyssa, could you come pick me up? I don't want to be here anymore." She's my best friend, she's one of the most beautiful and sweet girl that I have ever met, she's also one of the "bad girls" of my old school.
She has always been there for me, she was also the first girl that I ever kissed.
"What happen Tor?" I could tell that she was concern. I'm glad she ditches school on Mondays.
"I, just come pick me up, please." I try to sound as my usual chirpy self.
"What happen, love?" I smile, she always calls me that when she knows that I'm feeling down. It might sound like we're a couple but she only says it to tease me.
She is the only girl who knows that I had never been in love. I made her watch a lot of sweet and funny romance movies. I told her how I wanted to fall in love like that, since then she calls me love, every chance that she gets.
"I spilled coffee on a guy so I tried to help him get cleaned up, that's when her girlfriend came in and she saw me rubbing down on him. I, she got back at me by spilling iced coffee all over me." I can't tell her that I like Jade, nobody has to know, specially if Jade's straight and hates me.
"And you're going to run away!?" I had to pull my phone away from my ear as I hear her screaming at me.
"You cannot just give up an opportunity like that just because one girl doesn't like you, Tor. Find some way to get back at her, stop being such a goody-goody all the time. That's why people pick on you. You can't always be nice." I can already see her pacing from side to side in her room.
"Now go back there and stand your ground. I don't care who that girl thinks she is. You are Victoria Vega, and you don't let anyone push you down. Now go back there and make me proud!" I laugh she's so nice and sweet in a really weird way.
I'll make Jade my friend if it's the last thing that I do. I know there's a reason why I'm falling for her. There has to be something more to her, this is only our first encounter, or second, if I count the big showcase. Either way I want to know her, I want to know everything about her, the good, the bad, all of it.
"Aly, you're right I shouldn't give up just because she dislikes me. I don't care what she throws at me, I'll make her my friend."
I hear her laugh and I could almost see her beautiful blue eyes sparking. " You know that I told you to get back at her, not make her your friend."
"I know but look at you and me now. You used to dislike me but now we're inseparable." I wish that me and Jade could become as close as I am with Alyssa, or much more closer.
"Love, Is this your way of telling me that you have a crush on her?" I blushed a deep shade of red and I hear her laugh, she knows I'm blushing.
"Uh I don't know what you're talking about." yeah, real smooth Tori.
"Victoria, You're comparing her to me, I was the one that made you like that Katy Perry's song." That she did, she is a really good kisser, we kiss from time to time, it became a normal thing for both us.
Now that I think about it, I guess she's actually my friend with benefits. I let her kiss me as many times as she wants, but who would complain when a hot girl kisses you?
"I know I'm a good kisser but we're not talking about that Tor, we're talking about this crush that you seem to have for this girl. I never guessed you had a masochist side to you." And I blush again. It really surprises me how she knows what I'm thinking and I don't like that she knows that I like her kisses. Wait did she just called me a masochist?
"I'm not a masochist Aly! I just happen get attracted to the bad girls, there's nothing wrong with a little pain." I hear her laugh and I immediately tried to save what little dignity I have left.
"Wait I, that didn't come out right. What I'm trying to say is that she's just different from the rest Alyssa, she made my heart skip a beat."
"Did my Victoria finally found love?" Did I? Could this be love?
"Tori! Don't go!" I see André running to where I am, and I'm kind of thankful that I don't have to answer her question.
"Aly, I have to go thanks for everything I'll call you later."
"Of course you will, I have to know more about this girl, she most be really special if you still like her after she poured coffee on you." I end the call without another comment.
"Tori don't go, Jade is always like that, you get used to it after a while." I smile as I reassure him that I will not leave the school.
"Oh there you guys are! Sikowitz told me to come and get you guys." Cat says as she gives me a gentle smile.
I smile as I tell them that I would clean up first. " Tell him that I will be there shortly, I just need to get this coffee out of my hair."
She nods and says "Kay, kay" She skips back to class. I smile as I shake my head, kitty Cat is really special.
"So you're not leaving Tori?" André asks me hopefully.
"No, I'm not, this is my first day I can't let Jade affect me so much. I know that not everyone will like me." I say that with a smile on my face, but I can't help but be a little sad that she doesn't like me. If I hadn't spilled the drink on her boyfriend, and if she didn't see me rubbing him. Would things turn out differently?
"Okay, the bathroom is across the hall, I'm going back to class." André says as he makes his way back.
It took me almost half an hour to clean my hair at best as I could. It still smelled like coffee.
I left the bathroom and made my way back to the classroom, everyone was talking and the teacher was sipping quietly at his coconut.
"Finally you arrived Tori, I'm glad that you're back! We can finish the improv now. Jade, Cat, Eli, Tori, and Beck continue." I really don't like my teacher. Wasn't it enough that I got coffee all over me?
I look back at Jade and I could tell that she was upset that I didn't leave. We continue were we left off, and when Jade tried to reach for my hair, or fur as it was in this improv, I bit her hand, really hard.
There was shock on her face but it was soon replaced with a murderous look, maybe I shouldn't have listen to Alyssa.
"I'm going to kill you!" and she almost jumped me, if it wasn't for the fact that her boyfriend was holding her, I would probably be dead right now.
I give him a grateful smile.
"Stop, Jade you dropped character!" Sikowitz screamed as he puts himself in the middle of us.
"She fucking bit me!" Is it bad that I'm kind of proud that I made her this mad? Specially if she looks this sexy screaming. Concentrate Tori.
"Well I'm a dog, dog bite people sometimes." I say with a sweet innocent voice. I cannot believe I called myself a dog.
"What the hell!" I can see that she's thinking of a thousand different ways to kill me, hopefully I will leave class in one piece.
"Jade! stop with those words, and she's right, dogs do tend to bite. I told her to be a dog and she was. You on the other hand know better than to let your emotions get the better of you." Sikowitz looks at Jade and to my surprise she calms down.
"Fine, you're right." Jade says and Sikowitz smiles and the bell rings.
I grab my stuff and head out, I don't care if I don't know where I'm going I have to get out of here as soon as possible.
I almost made it through the door before I felt a hand on my wrist. I look up to see Jade looking at me intently.
" I don't know if you're brave, or just really stupid. But never try that again if you don't want to meet my scissors." After saying that she leaves, and as her boyfriend passes me by he gives me a pat on my back as he leaves.
" You did great for your first time Tori." that's all he says as he hurries up to catch up with Jade.
I didn't' really pay attention to him I couldn't help but wonder what Jade meant. What did she mean if I didn't wanted to meet her scissors? Oh god does she have some weird fetish with scissors? Does she plan to kill me with them?
I felt a hand on my shoulder and I jumped. "Ah!" I screamed and the person behind me screamed too.
"Calm down girl, It's me André." Oh thank god, I seriously thought that it was Jade.
"Oh sorry André."
He smiles as he puts his hand in front of me. "I want to see what classes you have." he asks and I give him my schedule.
"Great you have most of your classes with me and Cat." I smile, at least I'm going to see kitty Cat again.
" Let's go the bell is about to ring." we left and made our way to my next class, I hoped that this day could get better.
My other classes were okay, they were fun but I didn't pay that much attention to them I was still thinking of how I was going to become friends with Jade.
I felt two hands on my shoulders and I turned around to see kitty Cat. "Hurry up Tori! The bell already rang, we're going to lunch now!"
I stood up and she hugged my arm we walked liked that until we got our lunch. She told me some stories about her brother and I can't help but wonder if she's safe at her home.
We arrived at a table, and what a surprise Jade is there, her boyfriend, the puppet boy, André, and now Cat who took a seat beside André, are all sitting down.
"What is she doing here!?" Does she have to say that with so much venom? I turn around and prepare to leave there's no point in fighting a meaningless fight. Well, not until I figure out how to approach her, without her trying to kill me, or publicly humiliate me.
"Babe, calm down." She kisses her cheek again and I turn around, do I really want to suffer through this?
"Sit down Tori." André says as he pats an empty spot next to him.
I hesitantly seat down and I could hear Jade whispering under her breath. "Fuck this girl, can't she just leave."
I feel a little sad when she said that but I pretended that I didn't hear her. I see her boyfriend shaking his head disappointed at her.
"Well Tori lets introduce ourselves, I'm not sure if you know all of our names." André says as he starts.
"I'm André Harris, and I'm going to be a well-known song writer." I could actually picture him doing that.
"Oh my turn! My turn! I'm Caterina Valentine, but everyone calls me Cat! Oh and I love to sing and act!." She exclaims as she stands up and makes a little dance. I have to say that I really like her, I'm sure we will be great friends.
Next puppet boy clears his throat as he starts to speak but once again his cut off by his puppet.
"The guy that has his hand up inside me is Robbie, and whatever he wants to be won't come true. His full name is Robert Shapiro but everyone just calls him Robbie, and I'm Rex, but you can call me whatever you want babe." Robbie immediately covers the puppets mouth and I can't help but shake my head as I try to ignore the puppets comment.
"Don't be so mean Rex!" Yeah, his fighting with his puppet. I don't even know him but I'm already worried for him. Like I said before this can't possible be healthy.
"Well my name is Beckett Oliver, but I prefer Beck. I want to be an actor." He gives me a small smile and Jade immediately pulls his head to her and gives him a passionate kiss. Does she still think that I want her boyfriend? She's so way off. Why would I be looking at her boyfriend when I could be looking at her?
After they finish kissing everyone turns to look at Jade probably waiting for her introduction, since she doesn't say anything André tried to tell me her name.
"This is Jadel-" that's all André says before she gives him a death glare.
"My name is Jade West and what I want to be or what I like doesn't concern you." that's all she says as she continues to eat her salad.
"It's your turn Tori!" Cat says as she looks at me.
"My name is Victoria Vega and everyone calls me Tori. I like to sing." I say with a smile, what was I suppose to say, I couldn't tell them that I loved to party almost every weekend.
"Really? Who would have guessed that sweet little Tori liked to sing. It's not like she sang on a showcase and got in for mistake." I fell a little sad but I was more curious about how she could be so mean and still manage to look so damn sexy. Is that a bad girl attitude or something? Now that I think about it as the day progresses I find it harder and harder to believe that me and her could be friends much less more. I tried talking to her.
"Why are you so mean to me?" I asked.
She responded with a horrible imitation of my voice. "Why are you so mean to me!"
"I don't talk like that!" I exclaimed and she just gave me one of her smirks, and I can't help it when I feel my heart beat so much faster.
The bell rings and she stands up and leaves.
"Don't worry about her Tori, she's always like that." Beck says as he leaves behind her.
Didn't André told me the same thing? But she can't possible be always like that could she? I know that she can't always be this bitchy. I'm going to find out who Jade truly is. I take one last look at her and I can't help it when my eyes gently follow every curve of her body.
I wonder what would happen if she found out how I feel. Would she make fun of me? Would she insult me? Would she feel disgusted?
I make my way to my next class with this thoughts on my mind, but one thing is for certain I'm not giving up without a fight.
I still haven't figure out how I'm going to make Jade like me but I will, I just hope that she doesn't kill me first.
