Driving Tori Crazy

I peeked over where Andre and Tori were talking. Something about driving her to school. I closed my locker and walked outside, ready to go home. I was walking to my car when I heard familiar boot thumps behind me. I whirled around to see Beck walking with his head down and his hands shoved in his pockets 10 feet behind me.

"Where you going Oliver?" I seethed.

"To my car." He said quietly, pointing to his left. I looked over where his car was parked by mine.

Only one thing.

There were girls everywhere. They were sitting on Becks car, leaning on it, leaning on my car, talking in groups behind it. I stopped in my tracks and glared at him. He smiled sheepishly and walked over.

"Can I have a ride home Beck?" They all chorused. I winced. When had this begun?

"Uh...I can't fit you all…Sherrie, Emily, Lanie, and Christina can come today." Beck said, pointing to 4 blonde, spray-tanned Barbie's. There were four squeals, and groans of disappointment as some girls trickled away.

"Move," I muttered to a girl who lingered by Beck's car, and my door.

"Shut up bitch," she muttered. I raised my eyebrow.

"Excuse me, Barbie doll. This is my car. Did I take your spot by precious Becky? Sorry. Now just get out of my way so I can leave, or a will gladly kick your ass." I smiled.

"Beck, you're stupid ex-girlfriend is being a bitch," the girl whined. Beck glanced up.

"Just come on," he said softly.

"He broke up with you for a reason," the Barbie said, before sliding in the passenger seat of Beck's car.

"He once dated me for a reason," I said, more to myself than her.

She had hit me where it stung, for sure. Beck pulled his car of slutty girls out the parking lot, and I entered my lonely car quietly. I was about to start the engine hen red hair filled the windshield.

"Jade!" Cat squealed.

"Cat I want to go home."

"Can I come? My mom said my brother is in the hospital and can't pick me up." Cat asked, twirling her hair nervously. Usually I would threaten to run her over, but I needed the company.

"Yeah," I muttered, and unlocked the door. The rest of the car ride was filled with bubbly, over-energetic storied about Cat's life, and for once it was surprisingly comforting.

I pulled up in front of Cat's bright yellow house.

"Bye Jadey!" She smiled, and skipping down the golden stoned path to her house (the yellow brick road, as Cat liked to call it).

"Don't call me that!"

I drove down the street, but nearly pounded the brakes and turned around.

Beck lived a street down from Cat.

I drove slowly to his house and casually strolled past it. I snorted in disgust when I saw the Barbie's he brought home in bikinis in the front of his house. Beck was in swim trunks too, and he was spraying the girls with water guns and water balloons and the girls were squealing in delight.

I shuddered and stepped on the gas and sped the rest of the way home.

How come when we broke up, girls flocked to Beck but not to me? I was just as hot as him, girl-wise, and just as social. Beck kept to himself, he wasn't an outgoing guy. But why did he seem unaffected by the breakup at all.

Logic….it's Vega's fault. It just is…don't ask.

The next morning

I drove to school and pulled in, and ironically Beck pulled in at the same time, this time with more girls in his passenger seat. I ignored him and walked in, immediately seeing Tori panic. Clearly her car-ride with Andre didn't go as well as she wanted it too, and she had oatmeal on her.

Since I had declared my loneliness Tori's fault, and needed something for a good mood, I walked over to her.

"Hey Tori."

"Hi…" Tori said suspiciously.

"You want me to drive you to school tomorrow?" I asked.

"Uh…what's the catch?" Tori asked.

"Nothing. Just being friendly." I smiled.

She nodded slowly and accepted my offer, and walked over to Beck and his ever-present mob of girls.

"Jade's driving me to school," I heard Tori say. I saw Beck look up at me and press his lips in a line.

"Be careful," he joked, his eyes lingering on me. I rolled my eyes and walked over to him.

"Why does she have to be careful?" I asked, crossing my arms.

"Since when are you guy's friends?" Beck asked.

"Ever since we broke up. You seem to have made a ton of friends too," I said.

"We're friends?" Tori asked with wide eyes. I stepped on her foot and gave her a look.

"Well I see you're still friends with jealousy," Beck said sarcastically.

"Who's jealousy?" One of the blonde girls asked. I rolled my eyes and Beck face palmed himself.

"Real jealous of her beauty and brains," I smirked.

"Well at least they're nice."

"They're nice because they have the attention span of a Nat and can't think of insults," I said.

"Or they have decent personalities," he said. "And actually care what people think of them."

"What does decent mean?" The same girl asked.

"She's a genius. Best of luck," I smirked, and patted Beck on the back. Tori scuffled behind me.

"What was all that for?" Tori asked.

"We're not friends." I said.

"But you said we were!"

I rolled my eyes. "No." Tori kept following me.

"You know those girls aren't his type," Tori said.

I stopped in my tracks and turned swiftly on my heel.

"Why would I care?"

"Because you love him."

"We broke up Tori." I spat.

"And he loves you."

I felt tears stinging to my eyes, and people were starting to stare at us so I yanked Tori in the janitor's office.

"Don't you dare say that? I don't care if people think I'm a heartless bitch, I'm still a girl," I scolded.

"Jade! Denying it won't help." Tori smiled. I turned around and punched the wall.

"If he loved me we would've never broken up! He seems completely unaffected by all this. I'm in my room eating ice-cream on a Saturday night while he has 10 girls all over him!" I screeched.

"They're his way of getting over you. Do you notice that all of those girls are the opposite of you? Blonde, dumb, pretty much talentless, fake, and bubbly," Tori said.

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"He's trying to convince himself you were completely wrong for him. You're naturally talented, beautiful, dark, mean, sarcastic, and a freaking genius. You're perfect for him." Tori whispered.

I bit my lip. "We're not friends. You don't mention any of this," I threatened, before opening the janitor door and stepping out, only to crash into a body.

"Were you eavesdropping?" I squealed at the body, expecting it to be Sinjin. But it was Beck.

"I-uh, yeah." He admitted.

I rolled my eyes. "Great. Go tell everyone what a sap Jade is," I muttered brushing past him. He grabbed my arm.

"Don't touch me! Rape!" I screamed, causing heads to turn.

"Why would he rape that?" Some girl screamed. I flushed red.

"Because she's beautiful," Beck whispered, and leaned to press his lips to mine.

"Aww," Tori cooed.

I pulled back and glared at her, but smiled.

Maybe I wouldn't leave her in the desert tomorrow.
