A.N. Here's chapter 9. :) Thank you all who have been sticking with this story and reviewing, also all of you anons who reviewed last chapter; much love. :) Alright, here we goes.
…
It had been a couple of weeks since Tori and Jade had filled their friends in on their new and improved relationship status, and they all pretty much seemed to be all for it; well there was still one they were not too sure about. He said he was cool with it, but they wouldn't really know since he'd made himself scarce for the past couple weeks; they figured he'd come around eventually, but other than that all was good. Most of the gang was now met up at Andre's locker watching the craziness in the halls, as the musician gathered his first set of books for the day.
"Does it seem like there are more of us here today?" Tori asked the gang, as she looked around.
"Yeah there does seem to be an influx of annoying this morning." added Jade, as she noticed groups of kids she did not recognize.
"Oh yeah, I heard that there's a bunch of kids from a regular high school visiting today." said Robbie.
"Oh fun!" said Cat with her usual excited giggle. "Which school?" She asked.
"I don't know." answered Robbie.
"Ew." said Jade, eyeing the other kids.
"Hey, I came from a normal school." defended Tori, as she heard the goth's distaste.
"Well, I guess there's always exceptions." said the raven haired girl, as she pulled Tori in by her shirt for a kiss.
The two parted only to find their other three friends staring at them.
"You know as much as I kind of saw it commin', it's still a little freaky seeing you two bein' all coupley." said Andre, with smile.
The half-Latina and the pale skinned girl couldn't help but laugh at the statement, and soon the warning bell rang; sending them on their separate ways. Tori, Jade, and Cat were walking together, since their first classes were in the same hall; when they turned a corner, they bumped into another group of kids. Tori had dropped one of her music books, being as she actually ran into one of the other group. She had bent down to get it, when another hand had beat her to it.
"Sorry."
"No worries." replied Tori.
They stood back up, Tori only looking at their face when she was taking her book back from them; only to almost drop it again when she saw who it was.
"Tori?"
"Mikayla?"
"Like I said…Ew."
Cat and the two other girls with Mikayla had no idea what was going on, but by the shocked looks on the other two girls' faces and the livid one on Jade's; they all could tell that there was some history here.
"Hey Mik, we gotta get to that class." "Yeah." said the other girls, with the blonde; but seeing as how the dark haired girl in front of them was looking at their friend, they were a little hesitant to leave her. "…Unless you wanna hang here?"
"Uh, no you guys go ahead." answered Mikayla, whose focus was still on the tan girl in front of her.
Cat happily waved bye to the other girls, who returned the gesture; only with less enthusiasm.
"So you know Tori?" asked Cat, trying to break some of the awkward.
"U-Uh yeah, we used to go to the same school…It's been a long time Tori…" trailing off and looking down, to avoid the anger she saw building in the once kind brown eyes of the girl before her.
"Hadn't noticed." said Tori simply.
Mikayla nodded, taking the jab.
"S-So how've you been?" asked the blonde, gaining the courage to look at the tan girl once more; but her attention was soon directed again to the angry dark haired girl next to her.
"Why do you care?" asked Jade, stepping toward the other girl as her fierce blue eyes burned a hole through her.
"Baby, it's ok." said Tori, gently pulling Jade back to her. "Mikayla this is…"
"Jade, Tori's clinically insane girlfriend who has an extensive collection of sharp objects just waiting to be put to use." interrupted Jade, adding a couple snips of the scissors in her left hand; an evil smirk formed on her face as she saw the gulp the blonde girl in front of her took.
"Hey, I don't want any trouble. I just wanted to catch up with Tori…"
"I'm sure you do." interrupted the goth again.
"Look, what is your problem with me? !" asked Mikayla.
"My problem? ! You wanna know my problem! My problem is…"
Tori stepped in-between the two girls once more before her girlfriend caught a case.
"Jade wait!..." said Tori, grabbing the pale girl's waist and bringing her attention back to her once more. "Look why don't you and Cat go on to your classes, this will only take a second…I promise…Please?…" pleaded Tori, while a scared Cat lightly tugged on the goth's school bag.
The warmth and love pouring from her girlfriend's eyes was the only thing that got the Jade to take it down a notch.
Lets out a calming breath, "Ok." said the dark haired girl, before pulling the half-Latina into kiss that left no question who the tan skinned girl belonged to.
Mikayla looked away and Cat just got wide eyed and gasped. When Jade broke the kiss, she simply smiled and licked her lips; locking eyes with Mikayla as she slowly sauntered away, followed by a very confused Cat.
"Let me guess, she knows about our history." said Mikayla, she shifted awkwardly while looking guilty.
"What history? ! I'd think you'd have to have some kind of relationship before you can qualify whatever the fuck happened between us as history." said Tori heatedly.
"Tori…" replied Mikayla, reaching out for the other girl; but Tori just back away.
"Look I have to get to class. I'm sure you'll find someone else to 'experiment' with here besides me." finished Tori, before she stormed of; leaving a teary eyed Mikayla Hart behind.
…
All Jade West has heard for like the past forty minutes has been 'Wha, wha, wha, sentence structure, blah, blah, blah, paper due next week, blah.'; and had been lucky that she caught that much. The raven haired teen was on edge as she tapped her fingers repeatedly on her desk.
'I shouldn't have left her alone with that gank.'
*School Bell Rings*
As soon as the bell rang the goth was about to cut out of her class to meet Tori outside of hers, but to her extreme annoyance her writing teacher asked to speak with her about something she missed about the paper since she had been a little late to class. With her tardy excuse for her next class in hand, Jade made her way through the mostly empty halls, figuring she'd stop at the restroom while she could. One stall was already occupied and the goth could have sworn she had heard what sounded like sniffles coming from it. Minding her own business, the dark haired girl handled hers and then was in the middle of washing her hands as the stall door opened to reveal a certain blonde who she definitely did not need to see right now. Mikayla froze at the sight of harden stare she received in mirror from the dark haired girl; she was tempted to just leave as quickly as possible, but instead decided to stand next to the other girl as she got herself together in the bathroom mirror. Jade paused before she finished washing her hands and went to dry them; just as she was about to walk out of the door…
"You think I'm a heartless bitch don't you?" asked Mikayla, as she stared at herself in the mirror before turning to face Jade.
"Among other things…" answered Jade as she crossed arms, "but I really don't think you wanna hear what all I think about you."
"I never meant to hurt her." said Mikayla.
"Right, so that's why you jumped on the star quarterback's dick after you dry fucked her?" replied Jade.
"I was fucking scared ok!" exclaimed Mikayla. "…I'll admit that what I did to Tori was messed up, and I wish I'd handled things differently…It's just…I come from a family of stuck up country clubbers, CEO's, politicians, and all of that other bullshit. All my life everything's always been a 'Hart does this…', 'A Hart knows no failure', 'A Hart never settles for anything less than best'…I had been so ready to come out to my parents or so I told myself, but then Tori happened…I do…" focuses on Jade's death glare, "did feel something for her and it didn't change when I found out about her…anatomy…But then I just freaked and shutdown all of my feelings. My parents would have a fit if they knew about me being into girls, let alone a girl with a penis…My father is so into this perfect vision that he has for his family…I mean I would love to go to a school like this, but my father wouldn't pay for this 'nonsense'…You probably have no idea what I'm talking about."
*School Bell Rings*
The blonde blows out a breath and says, "I have to go." She paused at the restroom exit after she walked by a now thoughtful looking Jade West and says quietly, "I'm glad Tori found you." before she quietly left out.
…
Later that day, in the HA parking lot.
It was the end of an interesting school day, with all the extra energy and hormones running around; Hollywood Arts was even more chaotic than usual, if one can even imagine that. Tori Vega and Jade West were currently getting into the pale skinned girl's car.
"You still want me to come over tomorrow, right?" asked Tori, from the passenger side.
Jade looked at her weirdly, "Yeah, why would you ask that?" asked the goth.
"I don't know, it just seems like after we ran into Mikayla you've been little off is all." said Tori, with small smile. "Is there something wrong, did run into her again or something? Because…" She said seriously.
"No, I'm fine. Everything's fine. Ok?" said Jade as reassuringly as she could.
"Ok…" said Tori hesitantly, knowing full well that everything was not fine; but hoping the blue eyed girl would up open up to her later.
Once they made it to the half-Latina's house, before Tori got out of Jade's car, she pulled her into passionate kiss.
"I love you." said the tan skinned girl softly, looking into her girlfriend's eyes.
"And I love you." replied Jade back, just as softly; hating that what was going on in her head had put the uncertainty in the loving brown orbs before her, but knowing that she needed some time to think.
"I'll be over around eleven, ok?" said Tori.
"Ok." said Jade with a smile.
They shared one more kiss, before Tori headed inside her home and Jade drove off to the West residence. Once she made it to use 'surprisingly' empty house, she realized it was one of those times she actually welcomed to quiet that came with the emptiness; earlier today a certain blonde had struck a chord in the goth, and it was terrifiying her. Mikayla, not having known the raven haired girl, of course would not know just how much in common they had.
'Someone understood blondie more then they want to admit, didn't they? Shut up. Is someone finally starting think outside of their little safety bubble of a world and looking ahead at how fucked up the outside world will treat them when they find out what your girlfriend's little secret is? Mikayla's not looking so gankish now is she? SHUT THE FUCK UP!' and with that last thought, Jade West ran up to her room and cried; the silence that she had just praised had just as quickly turned on her, as she wished she had something anything to distract her from herself at this moment.
…
It had been little over an hour since Jade had dropped Tori off at her house, and the half-Latina had only just begun to try and start her homework; she couldn't really focus on it since her mind kept going back to how off the pale skinned girl seemed earlier. She had told Tori she really had a lot of homework she needed to finish before the weekend and couldn't do that if her hot girlfriend was within groping distance. Ok fine, Tori could by that; but something was still off and Tori found herself picking up her phone, just to check on the blue eyed girl. Just as she was about to push her number on her phone, there was a knock on the door.
'Huh, not now.' thought the tan skinned girl, huffing as she reluctantly got off the couch and went to answer the door; hoping it was someone looking for one of her other family members so she could tell them that they were not here and to go away.
She opened the door, only to wish that she had used the peephole.
"Hi."
