So… here's the moment everyone has been waiting for! The poll results! So I've combined the poll results I posted on the Victorious wiki and the poll results on this site and here are the numbers:

Bade: 21

Cabbie: 20

Tandre: 13

There you have it, folks! Your three couples that will be present in the story! And Bade (why am I not surprised?) will be the main focus of the story with Cabbie and Tandre in the background. Again, not surprised at the results because a lot of people ship these three together- me being a big offender of that as well. I was surprised that Cabbie almost beat Bade! I was thinking about waiting for more votes (so Cabbie could win lol), but I was so anxious to start the story that I ended the voting early. Thanks for the votes, guys!

So what I'm thinking of doing is making some scenes in first person of a character of my choosing and then doing other scenes in third person. Sound like a good idea? I think it is :)

So Jade is first, am I correct? Ah, I just read her personalized horoscope from . This is going to be VERY interesting… mwahahaha. Something tells me that Beck may not like what Jade's horoscope is telling her to do… ;D

Jade's POV

Ring ring ring

"No Mom, I will not ride the giant, scary pony!" I moan in my sleep. I cover my ears with my pillow and snuggle under the covers, hoping that the ringing noise would stop.

Ring ring ring

Ugh. One of these days (or nights) I'll get lucky and hit the snooze button in my sleep.

Or the alarm clock will suddenly combust and erupt into flames. Yeah, I like that option better.

I force my eyelids to open and prop myself up on my elbow. I turn on the lamp on my bedside table and squeeze my eyes shut as the bright light hits my eyeballs. I slowly open them and squint to see the time on my old alarm clock. It blinks 6:45 with tiny, pulsating blue lights. Time to go to school. Whoopity flipping doo.

Someone just kill me now so I won't have to suffer through seven hours of classes today.

No, seriously, I hate school. With a burning passion. Of course, I think education is important and everything, don't get me wrong, but do people have to devote so much time towards it just to learn a bunch of crap that we won't ever remember again in the future? I think it's ridiculous, personally.

Besides, you can get everything online nowadays. You can order Chinese food from BFWangs's website, fruity soaps that smell like plastic from … so why not go to private school online instead of going to public school with the rest of the losers in the world?

Oh, right! Because parents want you to be "social" and "make new friends!"

Did I mention I hate my parents?

Okay, I obviously need my coffee soon or else I may just have to murder something. It's easy to see that I'm not a morning person. Mornings are the worst things ever besides ducks. The grass is always dewy and soaks your feet, and the birds chirping in the distance makes you feel like you're in the middle of one of these sickly sweet Disney movies.

By the way, Disney is for sticky, little kids and people who don't have a life. End of conversation.

I put on my favorite t-shirt (black with a big grey skull and bones on it) and sleepily slip on dark skinny jeans and black leather boots with sharp silver spikes on the sides. I have only put layer after layer of black mascara on and am just starting to line my eyes with thick, black eyeliner when my phone buzzes suddenly in my pocket.

I curse under my breath and take my phone out of my pocket, wincing as I see the big smudge the liner made on my eyelid. I avert my gaze downwards slightly to see who had had the nerve to ruin my makeup and roll my eyes in annoyance after I read the message.

Sikowitz: Jade! You start the horoscope project today! Good luck and may coconuts bring joy to your life!

First of all, I think it's illegal for teachers to text you in the first place- and second of all, what is with him and his coconuts? I think they're starting to mess with his mind. Come to think of it, he DID throw himself down a flight of stairs at one time in his life… Yeah, that man is mentally insane. I'm pretty sure I'm right this time- not that I'm always wrong.

On the contrary, I'm always right. I was right about Robbie (I predicted that he would fall in love with Cat in 8th grade), I was right about Sinjin being a creep (called it when he started putting chewed-up food on his locker door two years ago)- and, unfortunately enough, I was right about Beck. He's an arrogant, deceitful, handsome little asshole; someone who will play with your heart and then dump it for the next pretty girl that comes along.

I hurriedly grab some money out of my dad's wallet and stride through the door quickly enough so he wouldn't notice what I had done. He doesn't care about me anyway, so why I should I be nice to him in return? Why not use my skills to my advantage? That's just how I think of things- if you don't care, then screw you. I'll do whatever the hell I want then. No harm, no foul.

The red car handle feels nice and cool in my hand as I yank the door open and slam it shut with irritation. After buckling my seatbelt (safety first, children!) and cranking up the heat (winters in Los Angeles aren't horrible, but if you're "cold-blooded" like I am… they suck), I make my way down the windy road towards Jet Brew.

It takes me about ten minutes to drive up, order a black coffee with two sugars and a Boston crème donut on the side, and speed along the highway… only to hit a freak traffic jam when I'm literally about 30 seconds from Hollywood Arts.

You've got to be kidding me. I am just about to kick the door open and walk to school until I realize I have forgotten to do something- I still have to look at my horoscope.

Ugh. Just saying the word "horoscope" makes me want to gag.

I painstakingly take my phone out, open the PsychicReadings app Sikowitz installed into our Pearphones, and enter my information.

Name: Jadelyn West

Birth Date: July 26, 1994

Birth Time: I make a face at the screen. Birth time? Really? This is so stupid. I decide to bull it and put down a random time I thought of off the top of my head. 3:01 AM

Birth City: San Francisco. Yep, the good ole land of the Golden Gate Bridge, the home of Bella Swan, and the place with the rainiest years in the United States. Such a great place to live, right? I don't miss it at all. It just reminds me of my unhappy childhood.

Birth State: California

Birth Country: Guatemala

I smirk at my little joke and press the cheery pink "Personalize My Daily Forecast!" button. Immediately, I get an alert from Sikowitz.

Sikowitz: Jade, don't be such a gank. We all know that California is not in Guatemala.

Okay, he's creeping me out now. How could he have possibly known that…

Oh, never mind. If it makes the crazy, bald teacher happy, then so be it.

Birth Country: United States

I am then taken to a page with at least four different horoscopes. Why the hell do you need more than one? One is bad enough!

I groan in frustration and read the first one at the top:

Time to Mingle: Enough with the waiting at home for 'the one' to find you. Why not give them a fighting chance? See what you can do when you're dressed for the hunt and packing the right attitude. Go get 'em.

Hmm… I hate to say it, but that's not such a bad idea. I do need to get out and about more and have some fun. All I've been doing ever since the breakup is mope about Beck.

It's not like I want to think about him or anything, and I won't deny that even after all the fights we had and what went down after the game show, I'm still hopelessly in love with him. It's a curse, I tell you. It's hard to get over someone who's been an important figure in your life for three years. I keep trying to remind myself how much of a robot he has become, but every time I keep trying to do that, I keep thinking about the old Beck- the guy who actually had feelings.

But now I'm acknowledging something else, something that has been bothering me ever since the Platinum Music Awards incident… Beck is over me. Not only has he been distancing himself from me lately, but he has been spending more time with Tori and Cat- and even Trina, of all people! He almost kissed Tori two times, for goodness' sake! And everywhere I go, it always seems like he's flirting with another girl, running his fingers through his wavy black hair as the girls swoon and blow kisses at him. It makes me sick.

You know what? Screw him. If he can get over me that easily… than I can, too. I'm better off without him and his god-given good looks. He can go jump off a cliff, for all I care! There are plenty of fish in the sea.

A car horn beeps at me from behind. I look up and realize that the traffic jam has cleared up. I give the ugly, fat man in the pickup truck the middle finger and speed off towards Hollywood Arts with a brilliant idea.

I'm thinking that tonight feels like a good time for a girl's night out, which can only mean one thing: we're going to be flirting with a lot of cute guys. And I know just the perfect place to go- and the right person to go with, for that matter.

"Hey, Cat." I sit down next to her at the lunch table with a cheese quesadilla and a carton of apple juice on my tray.

Cat doesn't answer me. Her eyes are too glued to a gossip magazine from three months ago.

"CAT!"

"JADE!" she squeals and points to the magazine. "Look! They're making a movie about Katy Perry! I love her music!"

I raise my eyebrow at her. "Cat… The movie came out already. That magazine was released months ago."

"What?" She turned to the cover and looked at the barcode. "Oh phooey! I grabbed the wrong copy!"

She stuffs the magazine back into her backpack and turns to face me. "What's up?" She giggles and holds up a small, fuzzy ball. "I found a piece of lint in my bag."

I sigh and roll my eyes in exasperation. "You want to hang out tonight? I have nothing to do and my parents are going out of town tonight."

"YAY!" She tackles me into a hug. "I'd love to, Jadey!"

"Get off of me!" I whine, struggling to untangle her from my shoulders.

"What do you have in mind?"

I give her a sly smile. "I was thinking we should go to that new place that opened next to the Freezy Queen in Bakersfield."

Cat's eyes widen almost to the size of tomatoes. "But Jade… that's a grown-up place," she whispers forcibly, and I can tell that the idea frightens her a little bit. "No one under 21 is allowed in."

I scoff. "Relax, I can get my brother to make us fake IDs. All we have to do is wear fancy high heels and lots of makeup and we can get in there easily."

Cat chews her lip nervously and looks at me quizzically. "Why do you want to go to a bar?"

"Because we can flirt with guys! Don't you want to spend one night being a grownup for once?" I plead. "Ditch those Yellow Kitty socks and flatter your legs for once! Seriously Cat, you can't stay a kid forever."

I immediately regret what I said as I see Cat's bottom lip quiver slightly and tears pool in her eyes. "Cat… I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you-"

"No, it's okay," she cuts me off. "You're right. I want to feel like an adult for once in my life, like you said."

She takes a deep shuddery breath and smiles at me. "Maybe it'll be fun." She studies me carefully as she crosses her legs underneath the table. A slight breeze blows the frills on her salmon pink skirt and through her bright red hair, which dangles by the curves of her cheeks in ringlets. "You're trying to get over Beck, aren't you?"

"How did you know?"

"We've known each other for ten years now. I know you well enough to figure out that you're up to something."

We finish our lunches in silence and I catch her before she stands up and leaves. "So meet me at my house at 8?"

"Sure!" she says cheerily. "I can't wait! I have this dress I've been dying to wear for like, forever!" she gushes and skips off to her next class.

I shake my head and watch her disappear around the corner in her pink, flowery dress. Oh, Cat. I'm going to be extra careful not to let her near any of the alcohol once we get there. Who knows what it will do to that ditzy little brain of hers?

Narrator's POV

Cat hummed a happy tune while she skipped down the hallway. Finally, she would get to spend time with Jade! Even though it would be at a bar with a bunch of people drinking alcohol and smoking…

You know what? Cat thought to herself. It's risky, but it's worth it. We deserve to have some fun once in a while. And maybe, just maybe, we'll make some new friends!

She was so involved with her thoughts and speculations that she didn't see Beck texting on his Pearphone as he walked towards her. "Oof!" he exclaimed as they collided, and he was able to catch his Pearphone before it was about to smash against the concrete floor below.

"Oh, hey Beck!" Cat exclaimed. "Guess what? Jade and I are hanging out tonight!"

"That's great, Cat." Beck attempted to smile, but it ended up looking like a lopsided frown instead. "May I ask what you guys are doing?"

She looked down at the floor nervously. "I don't think I can tell you…"

"Come on, Cat, I'm not going to get you in trouble." He gave her a reassuring look. "Your secret is safe with me."

Cat sighed and twirled her hair with her fingers. "I don't know…" She giggled and winked. "But Jade is NOT trying to get over you." And with that, she brushed past him and was out the front door in a matter of seconds.

Beck frowned and tried to comprehend what Cat had just said. So Jade was trying to get over him… What? He was fine with being just friends with her, but imagining her with another guy made him woozy and faint. He just couldn't picture her with someone else other than him. But that doesn't mean that he wants her back… right?

"I need some juice," he muttered and marched over to the soda machine. Maybe a sugar boost would help him clear his thoughts.

His feelings for Jade were definitely conflicted, alright, but he was sure as hell that whatever Jade was up to couldn't be anything good… especially when it comes to getting over him.

He knew that he wasn't going to get very much sleep that night.

Soooo, there's the end of that! Hehe, kind of a cliffhanger, huh? Guess you'll find out what happened when I update next.

I know I changed tenses in the last part (from past to present), and I know it probably sounds confusing, but I tried writing it in present tense and it didn't sound right at all. So just deal with it for the time being lol.

And who watched The Hambone King last night? (It's 1:20 AM here right now) OMG BE STILL, MY CABBIE HEART! Robbie stood up for her, he asked her to be his girl, Cat comforted him, and then she kissed him on the cheek! I squealed when that last thing happened; I couldn't help myself! They need to get together soon or the anticipation may just kill me.

I'm also thinking about writing a Fanfiction called "Where's Robbie?" It would take place either during Wanko's Warehouse or afterwards… and, given the title name, it would have something to do with Robbie getting captured by the burglers. And it would probably have Cabbie in it somewhere because I won't be able to resist the temptation of having them stay just friends. LOL. Sound like a good idea? Let's see if I'll ever get around to writing it (stupid school… why does it have to be so freaking longggg)

Okay, going to bed now. REVIEW IF YOU DARE. Sweet Cabbie dreams, everyone!
