Jade's POV

I was sitting in the classroom waiting for Sikowitz to come – big news- when I heard Cat whispering to me.

"Beck loves you"

I turned to look at her and I quickly replied.

"What?"

"Beck is looking at you all the time" she said giggling and I turned to see Beck looking at me. When our eyes met his head turned to the other side making Cat giggle louder.

"Shut up Cat" I said quickly trying to stop these stupid butterflies in my stomach.

"My wonderful children" we heard Sikowitz enter the classroom and get on the stage as always without shoes "Tomorrow is your time to shine. Good luck to everyone. I 'll be there cheering for you"

"Or don't let us act because of your stupid loud comments" I added making everyone agree with me.

"Oh my little Jadey. Always so honest and polite. I'm going to cheer for you too"

"Kill me now" I complain.

"So prepare yourselves" Sikowitz continued "because the big night is coming"

"You really don't make us anxious" pointed Andre sarcastically and everyone agreed.

"No you don't have to be anxious. So today I'm gonna let you free. You can do everything you want and I'm gonna enjoy this precious coconut milk"

I stood up and I was ready to leave class when I heard Sikowitz say.

"Jade where are you going?"

"You said we can do everything we want"

"In the classroom Jade"

"I'm gonna get coffee" I shouted as I closed the door loudly. As I was ready to give the money for my coffee I saw a hand giving money for my coffee.

"Here take this" I saw Beck giving the money to the cashier and taking my coffee in his hands then give it to me.

"Why was that for?" I asked taking my coffee from his hand.

"I just wanted to do it and I did" he responded.

"I'm not going to thank you" I told him quickly.

"You don't have to" he smiled making me look away. We walked in silence and then got in the classroom again.

"Jade what a surprise. You decided to join us" said Sikowitz in a humorous tone.

"I couldn't miss this wonderful party" she said sarcastically and sat on her previous seat. Cat had left. She was now sitting with Tori, Andre and Robbie. And although it seemed unexpected and unbelievable Back sat next to her.

"Won't you go with them?" I asked looking at him.

"I prefer to be here with you" he responded.

Beck's POV

"I prefer to be here with you" I told her and I saw her eyes lighten up a little bit. She took her gaze away from mine and took a sip of her coffee. She was so beautiful. She was amazing. Being without her almost made me blow from anger and nostalgia. I wanted her back. And I knew she did too. But she was so stubborn. One step at a time doesn't fit me so without thinking it twice I held a hand out and I caressed her curly hair. I gained a curious look from her.

"Beck what the hell are you doing?" she snapped at me. Yeah like I was afraid of her.

"I touch your perfect hair" I said with a cool tone and I saw her opening her mouth but nothing came out. The rest of the day I was constantly looking at her perfect figure. I just couldn't take my eyes from her.

The next day

I was sitting on my bed reading my lines once more when my phone rang. It was Cat

"Hey Kitty Cat what's up?"

"Hi Beck! I called to wish you good luck"

"Cat we're playing both in this play. You're going to see me in about half an hour"

"I know. Weird huh?" I heard her giggle and I sighed.

"Ok bye Cat"

"Bye Beck"

I continued reading my lines when I caught myself being disappointed for talking with Cat in the phone and not Jade. I tried to overcome these thoughts and concentrate to the play but I just couldn't help it. So I decided to call her.

.Beep.

"Hello?" I heard her wonderful voice.

"Hey Jade. How are you?" I responded happily.

"Beck are you kidding me?" I heard her say.

"No" I responded "Are you stressed?" I asked her. I knew she was. She always was even though she would never admit it. And she didn't.

"No" she replied shortly making me smirk "ok bye now" and before I could say anything I heard the beep of the line.

(The performance day)

Jade's POV

I was nervous. Yes, the great and beautiful Jade West was nervous. I was nervous in other plays but this one is different. I'm playing the lead, with Beck. One side of me is screaming of happiness and another is screaming of anger. I knew what to do with the hospital kiss but the final one? No one interrupts us and if we fake it, it would be seen. It's catastrophic. But I was determined not to let myself enjoy the kiss. It would be just a stage kiss, nothing else. I enter my dressing room, just to find Cat with her costume unzipped sitting on the couch.

"Jadeyyy!" She exclaimed standing up.

"What?" I said with an irritated tone.

"Zip me" She said turning around. I groaned but zipped it.

"Thanks" She said looking at me. I looked at her with my "Get the fuck out" look but apparently she didn't get it.

"Get out" I said as calm as I could. She jumped in fright, that means I must yelled, and then run away. I sighed and started preparing myself for the show. I put the make-up, I did my hair but when I wore my dress I could zip it. I groaned and started jumping around trying to zip the stupid dress, when suddenly there was a knock at the door. Before I could reply, Beck came in handsome as ever. My jaw dropped, inside of me of course. Outside I staid cool and calm….

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" shouted. Yeah… maybe not so calm…

"Chill… I just wanted to wish you good luck" He said with his usual smirk.

"I don't need it. Now get out" I said pointing at the door.

"Fine I'll go but let me help you with your dress" He said smiling.

"Whatever. Just zip it and go" I said crossing my arms. He stepped closer to me and closer, until I could smell his cologne. It was amazing… no… it was more than that. It was the best smell I have ever smelled. He went behind me and started zipping the dress slowly, care full with his every move. I looked at the mirror and found his looking at me smiling.

"What?" I asked, trying to hide my smile.

"You're beautiful" He said smiling more. That made my cheeks warm up a bit. Thankfully he didn't seem to notice.

"So I'll go" He said turning to the door. I was so lost in his eyes that I didn't even notice that he zipped me. He was already at the door when…

"Wait" I said. He turned smirking.

"You know for a person who hates being predictable, you're very predictable." That made me groan loudly.

"I hate you. Could you predict that?" I asked with a smirk. He smirked even more. That made me want to punch him in the face.

"Yes I could. But could you predict that?" He said. I was confused what he meant with that, when I realized he was kissing me. I tried not to, but I wanted so much that I kissed back. I'm so stupid doing that but I want to. Slowly he moved his arms around me and I put my hands in his hair playing with his amazing hair which I missed so much. I touched it whenever we kissed. It was so amazing. I was lost, and I didn't even notice that he pulled back.

"See. I knew that you wanted that." He said smiling.

"No" I let my stubbornness talk.

"Jade."

"NO. I hated it, I hate you and everything about you" I was about to cry. He grabbed my wrists making me face him.

"Why don't you just take me back?" He asked making eye contact. I could say it making eye contact. So I looked away.

"You know why."

"Jade that's stupid. I said sorry millions of times. I told you I don't like her that way. She's my friend. It was just a spontaneous thing"

"Ohhh… really? How can I be sure then that you will not try to kiss her again?" I shouted.

"Jade you're acting stupid" He shouted.

"No you're being stupid!" I shouted back. We were fighting, again.

"Why even to get back together, if we fight even when we are not together?" I said in low tone. His face from mad turned to soft and sorry.

"Maybe you're right" He said looking down and letting my wrists. He slowly walked away and opened the door closing it behind him. I don't know why, but all I wanted is to cry. I didn't care about the play, the fact that a big director is directing it, the fact that it's my last chance to stay in HA, the fact that it is the second play my dad will see. Nothing cared. I took my bag and ran out of the dressing room, tears down my cheeks. I headed straight to the place I loved the most. Janitor's closet.
