Hey, another update from me!

And while we're at it. Is it weird for a 21-year-old to like a 15-year-old?... Um, nevermind.

Enjoy your read and please review!

This day couldn't get any worse.

Just like any other day, because ever since Tori fucking Vega joined Hollywood Arts, my life had been sheer living hell.

She was everywhere lately. Invading my space, my classes, my time with my friends, and my thoughts.

I always think about the ways to hurt her. I hate this girl so much I can't stop thinking about her, isn't it just peachy?

Damn Vega.

And she grew some balls, too. Senior year had been good for her, I guess, and new gutsy Tori was constantly on my case, not afraid of me anymore.

I was up for some challenge since it was getting dull around here anyways. And boy, was she a challenge.

From day one, she was terrified of me, and that didn't stop her from being the only one who could pass as my equal.

Sure, I say a lot of things about the girl, but let's face it: she's extremely talented. She's kind, and she's funny, and all in all a decent competitor.

Not to mention she was hot as hell.

Ah shit. Here I go again.

You see, for the past few months or so, between annoying me and making me mad, Vega also managed to get me pretty hot and bothered over her tight lithe body.

There, I admit it. Ya happy now, Dr. Rosenberg? No more denying my feelings or whatever it was you ranted about on our weekly sessions.

Yeah, I have a shrink. Not the point right now.

The bigger issue here is Vega and my sudden desire to pin her to the wall and fuck her until she sees stars.

Whoa there. I know I admit wanting her, but that might be taking it too far. It's not like I'll ever act on it.

She still annoys the living heck out of me, you know. With her perfect smile and perfect little life and perfect… well, everything. I hate this type of girls. Trying to please everyone around them, living up to ridiculous expectations. Little Miss Sunshine, a poster girl for self-righteousness. Ugh.

Except she's not that innocent. The girl has a mean vicious streak, and her wild side shows itself once in a while. I mean, attacking Cat of all people? Even I am not that ruthless. I see her, the real her, hiding under this perfect façade. I see her in her arched eyebrows as she studies Robbie after he embarrasses himself once again. I see her in her cold stare as some asshole tries to approach her at the school. I see her in her angry scowl as she glares at me.

She's got that glare reserved special for Jade, and I kinda like that.

See, I'm demented. But so is she.

And as she went in for the kill, hitting me in the most vulnerable place there is, reminding me once again that it was her who got all the best parts at the school plays lately, I was proven right.

Tori Vega was a sick, twisted bitch, and I liked it that way.

Apparently, so did Beck, since I just caught him staring at her with his mouth hanged open.

"See something you like, Beckett?" I asked sweetly, raising a pierced eyebrow. He looked back at me, the same slightly shocked look on his face.

"What's it for you? He can stare all he wants," Vega shot at me.

"I don't give a flying fuck if he has a hard-on for you," I spit at her, getting angry again. She just knew what buttons to push.

I wondered if she knew what buttons to push in bed…

Stop this right now, Jadelyn.

Tori looked rather shocked at my crudeness, as did everyone else at the table.

"You're disgusting," she got out after a while, narrowing her eyes at me.

"I bet you love it that way," I blurted out before catching myself. Fuck. What the hell was wrong with me?

"W-what?!" Vega stuttered, jumping to her feet.

"You know what, whatever. I don't have to sit here and take it," I bristled, grabbing my bag and walking to the school building. Once inside, I facepalmed myself, hard.

You dense motherfucker.

What the hell was that? It was like I couldn't control myself around her.

Well, I actually really couldn't. It was always either flee or fuck, kill or kiss kinda thing between us, and guess what we chose every time.

Besides, Vega despised me. And I really despised her, with a side dish of wanting to screw her brains out.

It was times like this I wished she never showed up at the school so I won't be so confused and fucked up all the time.

The bell took me out of my depressing thoughts, but when I realized what class was waiting for me, I groaned in misery.

Sikowits, who seemed a little too much into pairing me and Vega up to be appropriate for a grown male teacher.

Just fucking great.

I don't know what crawled up Jade's butt and died, but it probably was something nasty.

What was that comment about me liking it that way?

It was none of her business anyway.

But I wouldn't mind if it were…

No, Tori! Compose yourself!

Great. Now I was back to talking with myself. Arguing, more like it.

You see, I had a major inner debate going on for the past months. And of course it revolved around Jade West.

I may.. or may not… have hots for her.

There. I said it.

But she still infuriated me to no end.

I'm just so mad at her all the time. She's so crude, and mean, and vicious and menacing.

And beautiful.

Oh Goddammit, Tori.

It didn't matter anyway. Yes, I might like to explore my newfound sexuality with her in janitor's closet. Yes, I admit that she's pretty and hot and funny in a sarcastic, mean way. But she hates me with a burning passion, and I have no choice but to hate her in return.

Except I can't. I never really hated anyone. It's such a strong word and emotion, and I don't take it lightly.

Let's just say she makes me so freaking angry, and leave it at that.

I want to wipe that annoyingly sexy smirk off of her face, and it doesn't matter to me if I do it with a fist or my lips.

It's more likely that I would opt for the latter.

Ugh, Tori, could you be more of a pervert?

But in my defense, it's not completely my fault. Have you met Jade? She's sex on legs. With her whole dominatrix image, and those full lips, and the way she licked her fingers at lunch… Oh, that pink tongue… The things I would let that tongue do to my body…

Oh my God, I totally had erotic thoughts about Jade in a school hallway.

I gritted my teeth.

It was definitely her fault. Stupid sexy Jade and her stupid sexy tongue.

The bell startled me, and I jumped, gathering my thoughts. What class did I have next?

Oh, shoot. Sikowitz.

I hoped he didn't have any other ridiculously gay assignments for me and Jade. He seemed to be into that lately.

"Tori, Jade, how nice of you to finally grace us with your presence."

The nemeses glared at each other, having run into one another at the class entrance, both of them late.

"Just what exactly took you so long to get to my class?" Sikowitz pressed on, his eyebrow slightly raised as he stared at them.

"Does it matter? Are you going to let us in or not?" Jade demanded, giving Tori one last disgusted glance. "Standing next to this is not on my list of favourite past times."

"Touche, Jade," Tori commented back, moving her out of the way and walking up to her usual spot. "Maybe you should come back when you grow up, high school turns out to be a bit too adult for you right now."

It took everything Jade had not to jump at Tori and start pulling out her hair.

Among other things.

"Jade," Sikowitz called out warningly as she prepared to make a comeback. "Please take a seat and allow me to continue with my lesson."

"Whatever," the dangerous beauty huffed, plopping down on her seat, eyeing Tori menacingly. The half-Latina turned to give her a self-satisfied smirk, causing her to scowl even deeper.

"Tori, do not provoke Jade," the bald man chastised her like a child, and Jade laughed at the brunette loudly.

"What's so funny?" The singer asked, narrowing her eyes at the girl.

"Enough!" Sikowitz exclaimed. "You're not allowed to speak in my class until the bell rings. I had it with you two," he looked between two girls who continued to glare at each other. "For the last two months, your attitude has been getting out of hand. Control yourselves, or else," he gave them one last stern look for good measure. Tori blushed slightly and muttered she was sorry, while Jade simply rolled her eyes and stared at the wall.

"Okay, now," the teacher came back to the stage, looking around the classroom. "Today, I will be teaching you a lesson about subtext. Jade, Tori, on the stage!"

Jade groaned out loud. Of course he would do that. Did he ship them or something?

Tori also let out a small noise of protest, her face taking on a pleading expression.

"But Sikowitz, I…"

"Nah-uh! You will speak only when I tell you to, and that would be not you speaking, but your character. Now, on the stage!"

Both girls complied, looking uneasy as they stood there, throwing daggers at each other with their eyes.

"Now, give me a setting!"

"Janitor's closet," a calm voice stated, and everyone, including Jade and Tori, eyed the owner with curiosity. Beck only shrugged in response.

"What? You two do spend an unreasonable amount of time there," he pointed out, much to Sikowitz delight and girls' dismay.

"Excellent! Janitor's closet it is! Now the situation!"

"Two lovers," Andre called out, eyeing both girls wolfishly.

"In your dreams, Harris, and no, I don't want to know that it's already happening there," Jade stated coldly, throwing a sharp look at Tori which she returned.

"Actually, it is a rather good idea, but let's go other way, shall we? We will use one of the famous and most popular TV tropes for the exercise. Tori," he nodded at the girl, "you will be a typical Light Feminine, which you already are," he ignored the slightly insulted look in the girl's face, "and Jade will be the Big Bad. As this is the lesson in subtext, we will go with hate and love. Yes, perfect! Tori and Jade, you have to display hate, but show us all that in reality all your characters feel for each other is love."

Tori looked at the teacher, mortified. Why was he doing it? Did they have to do it? Well, if she didn't want to fail the semester, she had to try, but did she have to act out a love scene with Jade of all people?

"Are you serious?" Jade asked, incredulous.

Sikowitz paused his coconut slurping.

"Yes I am, m'am, now please, to the scene!"

"Um.. any special requests?" Tori got out weakly. The bald teacher gave me close to nothing to work with.

"I don't know, throw in some supernatural drama, teenagers seem to like that nowadays," he waved at her.

The raven-haired girl rolled her eyes before facing Tori. For a moment, her eyes were just like always, filled with disgust and disinterest. Then she blinked, and they were angry and hurt at the same time.

Jade was good, Tori thought. Jade was really good.

"So let me guess," Jade began circling Tori, already in character. "Your boytoy sent you to kill me."

Huh. That was an interesting take on the situation. Alright, two could play that game.

"Do you honestly believe I would do that in a crowded high school? Besides, he's not my boytoy and you know it," she remarked, also moving across Jade, carefully watching her.

"Didn't stop you from fucking him," Jade shrugged, and the whole class let out an awed gasp at her using a curse word in class. Sikowitz didn't seem to mind, so they went on.

"It's none of your business who I choose to sleep with," Tori gritted through her teeth. Focus, Tori. It's a scene. It's not real. You're supposed to be in love with Jade's character, not display your hate for Jade herself.

"Oh but you wish it was, don't you?" Tori's face twisted in shock at that as it was the exact thought she had a couple of minutes ago. How did Jade do that?

"Seems I caught you, princess," of course Jade noticed her slip. Well at least she thought it was just because of the scene.

"So, I guess you expect me to act all flustered because you're implying I want you, huh," Tori replied calmly, covering her shock. Now it was jade's time to act surprised.

"Well, look who got a new shiny pair of balls."

"Maybe I'm becoming more like you. Isn't it what you wanted? For me to be just like you? Ever since I turned, all you wanted was for me to start feeding on people."

"You don't know what I truly want."

"That's where you wrong. You want me."

Something flashed in Jade's eyes then, but Tori didn't manage to catch it before it was gone.

"That's so typical of you, princess. You think everyone wants you, don't you? Humans, vamps, wolves, even that fucking witch – you think they are bending over backwards to please you, and you're right, but," Jade got closer to the brunette, staring her down, her eyes flickering from her eyes to her lips and back, "I'm not them."

"No, you're not," Tori said, slowly licking her lips and watching Jade's eyes grow darker. "I'm not asking you to be."

"Stop doing that," Jade stage-whispered, her eyes dropping to Tori's lips completely. "Stop assuming I'll do anything if it's you who asks me."

"I'm not assuming anything, and I'm not asking anything right now," Tori whispered back in the same stage-whisper. "All I'm asking is for you to be real, because you're the only one who's been honest with me all along. And I'm sick of people lying to me just because they think I can't handle the truth."

"Well you obviously can't, seeing as you're kinda dead now," Jade smirked.

"You were the one who turned me."

"By accident."

"Nothing you do is by accident."

While they were making with the small talk, they got closer to each other, their lips millimeters apart.

"Wasn't it you who said I was the most impulsive vampire you ever met?" Jade asked, smirking.

"Even your impulsiveness is calculated," Tori watched her, and then she added the look of realization to her expression. "You planned everything," she said, lowly. "You wanted me to turn, you wanted me to crash that car, and you just happened to be near… Oh God," she finished, trembling.

"I suggest you take it back right now," Jade growled at her.

"Why? You already killed me, what more can you do?"

"I never killed you, because I never wanted you to become this!" Jade burst, angrily, making Tori take a step back.

"I never wanted that for you," the raven-haired girl stated, calmer. "You were supposed to live the life you wanted, you were supposed to become a mother and then a grandmother and then you were supposed to die happily on your own terms!" She raised her voice again as she marched towards Tori, grasping her arms and yanking her to her chest. "You were never supposed to die, Tori," her eyes searched chocolate ones, and Tori gulped with the sudden emotion that wasn't her character's. "I wanted you to live and experience life and get everything you ever wanted. So that's what I want," Jade's voice dropped to the whisper again. "I want to go back and save you, because that's what I do every night in my dreams."

The whole class gasped in surprise, completely engrossed in the scene, but Tori didn't even pay attention to that. All she could focus on was Jade's soft gaze.

She didn't know where to go with the scene, because it kinda reached its peak. So she went with what her character would've done.

She leaned up slightly and claimed Jade's mouth with her own, kissing her softly yet firmly and feeling Jade give in almost instantly.

They were brought out of their little world by their audience clapping. They broke apart, hastily putting some distance between themselves.

"Amazing job, girls!" Sikowitz exclaimed. "And good thinking with adding Belligerent Sexual Tension twist, that played out nicely!"

"Adding what?" Jade snapped in her usual manner, back to herself now.

"Belligerent Sexual Tension exists between two polar opposites," a calm voice called out again, and everyone turned to look at Beck. "There is a sweet girl and a secretly-kind jerk who act like they can't stand each other because they are afraid of admitting they have a mutual attraction, so instead of working it out in the bedroom, they take it out on each other in constant fights and bickering."

The class fell silent, adding two and two and then staring at Tori and Jade, shocked.

Such an obvious parallel wasn't that hard to make. But not for Tori.

"Alright, so we added that to the scene, why is everyone staring at us like that?"

Jade slapped her forehead.

"Okay, first of all – are you really that dumb? And you," she turned to the tan boy who smirked knowingly. "If you think I want Vega, you're sick."

"Wait, what?!" Tori finally caught up and blushed ferociously. "I don't - she's not- we're not- I…"

"Ugh, fuck this," Jade stormed off the stage, snatching her things as she fled from the classroom. Tori was left standing there, with the class gawking at her.

"I can't believe I didn't realize that sooner. They are so obvious," a girl from the back suddenly remarked, and the rest murmured their agreement.

"Okay, that does it!" The half-Latina grabbed her bag and rushed to the door, but not before giving a nasty glare to Beck. "Thanks a lot," she threw at him before running out the door.

"You'll be thanking me even more later," the Canadian said, smiling, completely unfazed by Tori's attitude.

So it's green light from Beck, huh.

Please leave a review! :)
