Jade's POV
As soon as I stepped in, my eyes were blinded by different coloured bright lights flashing everywhere. There was a pair of suckish singers singing some lame pop song that I could vaguely recall thanks to Cat's love of fake, pop songs. I rolled my eyes.
Cat was mesmerized by the flashing lights, not even realising I had dragged her to a round blue table, just big enough to fit all 6 of us.
"So, you like it?" Tori asked hopefully.
"It's so cool!" Cat exclaimed, the same time I said "It sucks"
Tori looked disappointed, but it's not like she should expect me to say it was amazing, especially when it looked just like any other karaoke place in town.
"I think it's pretty cool chiz," Andre said. I rolled my eyes, how can she not realize how crazy he is for her. Though, I don't think he realizes either. She instantly perked up.
"Hey, why don't we sing a song?" Cat asked me enthusiastically. That wasn't a bad idea. It'll show these losers how to really sing.
"Maybe," I said. She beamed at me, bouncing in her seat.
"Hey, what's this?" Beck asked, looking at a poster stuck on a wall.
"A poster…" he rolled his eyes at me.
"I meant, look at It." we all turned our attention to the poster, hanging on the wall next to our table.
"Oh my god! It's a singing competition! We should all totally do it!" Cat said, springing up to look at it closer.
Everyone made sounds of agreement. I didn't really care for a stupid competition, but I don't really mind.
"OH MY GOSH! If you win, you get 6 tickets to PARIS!"
What?
I pushed Cat, who was still bouncing, out of the way, to get a closer look.
'WIN: 6 tickets to a 2 week trip to PARIS, FRANCE'
Ok, this just got all the more serious. Everyone started freaking out, saying they had to win. It was pretty likely that we would win, 'cause well, not to boast or anything, but we're all pretty awesome singers… Robbie's got an awkward voice, but it was still better than the rubbish that we heard a few minutes ago. DO NOT tell him I said that, or I will slit your throat with my scissors. I'm serious.
"Okay, okay, everyone shut up. We don't even know if we're gonna win yet," Andre said, placing his hand on Tori's lower back, instantly calm her down. Gross. It kind of hurt to see them do that, because it reminded me of when Beck and I were dating. Gahh, I'm so pathetic.
"Uh, guys? This competition thing is today… in 2 hours."
"Well, then we better start picking songs then, right?"
Everyone agreed.
"It says you can sing duets or solos. I think we should do solos because there would be a bigger chance of us winning."
Andre suggested. Cat got upset.
"Aw, I wanted to perform with Jadey,"
I sighed, as a few tears leaked out of her eyes.
"Don't call me that. And fine, Cat and I will sing a duet; the rest of you will sing solos."
Everyone agreed, and started picking songs. Cat cheered and gave me quick hug, while I rolled my eyes.
"What song shall we sing Jade?" Cat asked.
"I dunno. How about 'Here we go again'?"
"Oh, my god, YES! I love that song! And Demi Lovato!"
"Kay," I said, before we started sorting out which parts I would sing, and which parts she would.
(A/N for those of you that don't know Here we go again is a song by Demi Lovato. I know that she sings it alone, but whatever. )
Soon enough the 'competition' had begun, and much more people came into the place, lining up to sign up for the competition. We had already signed up, so we were waiting for our names to be spoken by the host/DJ person.
Right now there was a slutty girl 'singing', in a voice she thought was good, as she wiggled her flabby ass in the guys' faces, clearly trying to seduce them into voting for her. She sauntered over to Beck and shoved her fake boobs into his face. My blood boiled. I wanted to rip off her fake blond hair so much. But I couldn't, so I stood there, ridged, while she tried to get a reaction out of Beck, who looked a little uncomfortable. She finally gave up, and walked up to some other 'cool, hot' guys.
I couldn't help the feeling of relief that came through me when I saw Beck's disgusted face, as I smirked.
She finally sang the last note, off key, and giggled as the guys wolf whistled. I rolled my eyes. I looked towards the gang. Apparently, I wasn't the only one that was annoyed.
"Next up, Tori Vega! Singing here's to us!" (A/N It's a new victorious song. Not on an episode yet.)
She smiled as people cheered. I could hear Andre cheering extra loud as she introduced herself briefly.
The music started, and, if I do say so myself, it was pretty catchy.
Here's to the Mondays
Watching all the cars on the freeway…
As she sang, she made her way across the stage, beaming as people danced to the song. As she got onto the chorus, she started dancing more, swaying her hips more, which grossed me out, but Andre found veerrryyy nice. By now, people were stood up, dancing, bouncing, or whatever, in time to the music, while we cheered like mad people, as she sang. She skipped over to us, while singing, and danced around with Andre, laughing as he spun her, doing the same with each of us. I was actually smiling, 'cause y'know, I don't really hate the girl, not most of the time anyway. She still annoys me though, but I can't help but feel happy for my half-Latina kind-of-friend as she sang. As she sang the last verse, she made her way back to the small stage, doing a little dance as she did. She sang the last note, breathing heavily and beaming as there was a huge applause.
She grinned as she bounced back to our table, immediately going in for a hug from Andre. When they pulled away, we all started congratulating her, surprisingly even me. Ugh, I hate the fact that I'm actually not in a bad mood.
"You did good, chica," Andre said, patting her on the head.
"OHHMYYGOSHHHHTORIII! That was AWESOME!" cat said, before tackling her into a bear hug.
"That was great Tori," Beck said, hugging her. A little jealousy bubbled inside me, but I ignored it.
"That actually wasn't bad, Vega," I said, smirking. She beamed, almost leaning in to hug me, which made me lean back. She pouted slightly, which I rolled my eyes at, before hugging the girl. She giggled. I pulled back, not giving her the satisfaction of the thought that I didn't hate her as much as I used to.
"Ok, next up, we have Lisa Turner!"
Cat pouted when she realised it was no one we knew. By now, we were all sat at the table, munching on the food we had ordered; some buffalo nuggets (Beck's guilty pleasure- I would know), fries, and some chicken wings.
Once that Lilly person was done singing, Andre was called up. He was singing 'Forever', a song he wrote a while back.
(A/N It's a song written by Leon Thomas III. Look it up if u want. It's pretty cool)
He sang it amazingly, I mean, he's Andre, like one of the best musicians at Hollywood Arts.
We cheered him on just as enthusiastically as we did to Tori. He soon had finished, thanking the roaring crowd, as he made his way to our table. We all congratulated him just as enthusiastically, and sat down, as the DJ announced the next person that would be singing.
Robbie's name came up after a few people, and he got up and sang forever baby- Without Rex, much to 'his' dismay. He got quite a load applaud, though not as loud as Tori and André.
Soon enough, Beck's name was called. I didn't actually know what he was singing.
He got up on stage, sitting on a stool, as he adjusted the microphone.
Beck's POV
I was so nervous. I didn't really do singing; acting was more of my image. I was nowhere near as good as the rest. I just had an average voice, though Jade always used to disagree when we were dating. She'd make me sing to her every so often. I smiled at the memory. Those were the times I got to see Jade. Jade, without her makeup (which she looked stunning without), beneath her 'mean girl' attitude. I could break down her walls easily; I was one of the only people she let in. And then I went and broke her heart, as well as my own. And ever since then, she's been showing less emotion, and being ten times meaner to everyone- excluding Cat, and to some extent, our little group.
My name was called out, as all the girls there swooned over the fact that I would be singing. I fought the urge to roll my eyes. I wanted a reaction out of Jade, who, annoyingly, just sat here, not swooning or fanning herself like the majority of girls here.
I sat on the stool, and adjusted the microphone, making it level with me.
I was singing 'Beneath your beautiful' by labyrinth and Emily Sande. I know it's a duet, but I worked out how I could do it as a solo. The soft music started, and my nerves grew, though on the outside, I looked my usual; cool, calm and collected.
You tell all the boys 'no'
Makes you feel good, yeah
I know you're out of my league
But that won't scare me away, oh, no
This song reminded me of when we were dating. Jade was always the type of girl that was dangerous, and never let anyone in; kept them all away from her guarded heart, and the only way to do that was to hurt them enough for them to leave.
You've carried on so long
You couldn't stop if you tried it
You've built your wall so high
That no one could climb it
I remember singing this song to her when we first started going out. I smiled at the memory. I got up as I sang the chorus, taking the microphone out of its stand.
But I'm gonna try
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?
Would you let me see beneath your perfect?
Take it off now girl, take it off now girl
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?
My eyes joined with Jade's and I could see the tears forming in her eyes. She was probably thinking about how much has changed since that time I sang it to her. I had decided to go for the cliché option; I threw a small rock on her window at 12:00 at night and sang it to her. I remember her disappearing out of the window, only to realise she was coming to me. She tackled me in a hug after I had finished the song, and kissed me. I would always remember that night.
You let all the boys go
Makes you feel good, don't it?
Behind your Broadway show
I heard a voice say please don't hurt me
You've carried on so long
You couldn't stop if you tried it
You've built your wall so high
That no one could climb it
But I'm gonna try
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?
Would you let me see beneath your perfect?
Take it off now boy, take it off now boy
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?
See beneath, see beneath,
Ahh... Tonight
Ahh...
I'm gonna climb on top your ivory tower
I'll hold your hand and then we'll jump right out
We'll be falling, falling
But that's okay
Cause I'll be right here
I just wanna know
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?
Would you let me see beneath your perfect?
Take it off now girl, take it off now girl
Cause I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?
Tonight, see beneath your beautiful
Oh tonight, we ain't perfect, we ain't perfect
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?
I finished the song, and to my surprise, people were cheering loudly, girls almost screaming. But the only girl I cared about was missing. So was her perky best friend. I frowned.
Where could they have gone?
Yeah, not that much of a cliff hanger. Soooo? Did u like it? Hate it? Any ideas?
Btw, I know beneath your beautiful is quite new, and wouldn't be out when Beck and Jde would have first started dating, but let's pretend!
Byeeez for now!
