Tori- -I crunch my eyebrows in this sudden change of behavior; from rock hard to...soft and just agree with what you suggest- "Sure, sounds great."

Jade- I smile and pay for the snacks and drinks before propping on the counter and waiting. I take a chocolate bar and hand you one before retracting it,"Oh umm white or regular or dark?"I say holding them out. A few people tend to stare at my irregular behavior and I sigh looking away. I take the drinks and thank the man before sliding a tip into his jar. I walk with you towards the back and up the stairs to the dining room above which I know is all empty. I look around, seeing the lights are off and walk over to a corner by the large wall of windows staring out at the moon and the stars as the sun starts to disappear. "Night time is beautiful isn't it?"

Tori- -I choose a milk chocolate bar with a small smile, taking it from you and opening the wrapper to bite into it, completely in shock by your sudden change in behavior. I see you shift in discomfort and follow you to the secluded part of the dining area, settling down next to you- "Yeah...it is..."

Jade- "It's just like, calming. It's a time of innocence. Something that can't just be stolen from you. Solice, and silence, two things I once found comforting that now seem to merely haunt me,"I mutter staring out the window, my gaze locked on the moon as my skin glows with a pale surrender. I turn and sit with you quietly, staring down at the table. "I'm not always hard, like when I'm at the house. You have to be bossy to get anywhere around here, and I'm known as the bad guy. It's just my reputation, that sadly I have to live up to, but something about you I just...,"I look up at you and reach up moving your hair from your face with a small trace of a smile,"you're gorgeous in the moonlight."

Tori- -Without realizing it, I've moved closer to you, our fingertips barely brushing against one another's as we both shared the beauty of the night sky. A small blush colors my cheeks and I duck my head away to hide from you, mumbling through a curtain of my brown hair- "Not as gorgeous as you...though, would it be so bad? If everyone knew that you had a soft side to you? Like...what would you do if I just went back to the house and told all the girls that you had a romantic side? I'm sure that'd be supportive..."

Jade- "Then they would probably kick me out, and then i'd probably try to murder you in your sleep,"I say staring at you bluntly. "I just..I've only ever trusted this side to one person. She took my innocence and she corrupted me, she built me to be who I am today, and to this day she still makes my heart tremble with fear when she comes by,"I say as I sip my coffee and look away. "I don't know why I can trust these things with you but I'm taking a chance here. Don't make me regret it Vega,"I whisper and look up at you with a sigh. I look at my watch and my heart sinks some,"Come on, we should get back for the banquet,"I say and stand up not even bothering to hold my hand out, instead I shove it into my pocket silently.

Tori- -I already have a guess as to who you're referring to but I don't say anything out loud, instead I finish my drink and my chocolate bar, speaking about something else that had been on my mind- "So...with you, us. Do I get your mean side or the sweet side...?"

Jade- "When we're alone I will treat you only with the kindest of manners, but...around the others I have to be equally as firm to you as I am them. It's for your own safety though. Imagine, there is a house full of girls who practically bow down and kiss my ass, then one girl comes in and I just start praising her and worshiping her...the others would become jealous, they would hurt you to get to me, and with that there would be nothing short of a mutany,"I say plainly as we head back downstairs and to my bike quietly,"Understand what I'm trying to say?"I offer you a smile and lean on my bike shivering as I feel an ominous presence behind me. "Let's go Vega,"I say as I pick up my helmet, scared to even turn around though I pretty much know who it is behind me.

Tori- -I trail after you, chewing hestitanly on my pinky nail and sigh, unable to stop the small edge of disappointment from my voice- "Yeah...I understand. I just kinda love you when you're cruel. Is that bad?" I turn to look at you, frowning in confusion and cast a look behind me, almost backing into you at the sight of Veronica. She sneers down at us, plucking me up by my shirt collar- "Aww has little Jadeyln found someone else to play with? A scrawny little bitch? Your standards are slipping, West."

Jade- I feel my cruel rage flare back up and I clench my fists,"Veronica, put her down. Your beef is with me, not Vega,"I say shifting my weight slightly as I actually glance away obviously uncomfortable with the situation. I feel my dominance in the situation slipping away as I try to think of something usual to say,"At least I have somebody. Unlike you, you lonely cruel old bitch,"I snap and grab her wrist,"Let go of her,"I warn one last time.

Tori- -I yelp and twist in her grasp, my toes just barely brushing against the ground, the collar pulled tight around my neck. Veronica quirks an eyebrow, obviously noticing your affection for me and smirks, lifting me a little higher with ease, before shoving me back into your arms- "You'll pay for that remark, Jade." -she snarls and storms away and I suck in precious oxygen-

Jade- I just wrap my arms tightly around you as if I could protect you from everything. I hold you close and open my eyes as I run my fingers through your hair,"You okay baby?"

Tori- "Y-yeah...I'm fine." -I rub my neck from where my shirt collar had dug into my skin, hesitating at your words- "Wait...baby?"

Jade- I blush deeply and set you down gently on your feet looking away,"I..I didn't mean it..I,"I look away and put my helmet on,"Come on we have to go,"I say handing you your helmet and climbing onto the bike. I bite my lip behind the dark protection of the facemask and I close my eyes.

Tori- -I want to question you further but instead I shove the helmet back over my head, climbing back onto the bike shakily- "So who is that Veronica girl? Some other sorority leader?"

Jade- My grip instantly tightens around the handlebars of the bike and I growl, my body trembling in anger as I try to push back the memories,"I'll tell you after the banquet,"I mutter and start the bike speeding off at an alarming pace and not really paying that much mind to my surroundings.

Tori- -I can feel you tremble beside me and immediately make a deep connection between you and this Veronica girl; a thought that actually sends pangs of jealousy from me. I'm almost thrown backwards off the bike as you kick it into overdrive and cling onto you for my life, very nearly almost peeing myself-

Jade- I pull up to the house and pull my bike inside the gate, chaining it as I open the gates to the Delta House and I walk inside with my helmet tucked under my arm. I slide my leather gloves off and sigh as I disappear upstairs to change for the party.
