Vedriti: Part 1
Jade saw a few poor souls running through the pouring rain as she drove around the streets of Hollywood. The sudden downpour had certainly been a surprise the city's residents. The day had started out with perfect weather; the kind that reminded people why they loved to live and California so much.
Sunny weather, with a nice cool breeze, and easy access to the beach.
However, it didn't last too long, suddenly dark clouds covered the sky and heavy rain came down shortly after. Now all there was to see were people scrambling along the sidewalks with either umbrellas, or jackets over their heads in an attempt to protect them from the rain.
One person in particular caught Jade's eye.
She couldn't see their face, but it was a girl, that much she could tell, and unlike everyone else who was running to shelter, this girl had obviously given up on not getting wet. Taking a closer look at the girl, Jade could see why.
She was soaked, from head to toe.
Jade's car pulled up evenly with the girl and that's when Jade realized exactly who this girl was.
Despite how much she looked like a drowned rat, with her brunette locks clinging to her face, and her shoulders slumped over in defeat, a notion that deeply troubled Jade, there was no denying in her mind that this was indeed, Tori Vega.
Tori walked down the street, feeling just as cold and terrible as she looked. "Oh don't worry Trina" she muttered mockingly to herself, "I want to soak up the sun a little more, I'll just walk home." Her teeth clattered through her rambling, "I'm wearing freakin' shorts!"
The brunette had given up on staying dry as soon as she realized she didn't have any money to take the bus home. The day had started of perfect for her. The nice weather gave her an incentive to go to the beach, and luckily, Trina as well. Her older sister had been her ride and surprisingly, the sister's had a nice time together.
Such a thing happened everyone in a blue moon.
Trina left early, claiming "too much sun would be bad for her skin" while Tori decided to stick around.
Biggest. Mistake. Ever.
Now she was freezing cold, walking around with not even a jacket on, in the pouring rain and—
"Vega!"
Her head snapped up. "Jade?"
"Get in."
"What?"
"I said get in, the car Vega, get in the car." Jade repeated slowly.
Tori bit her lip nervously, "But I'm all w–"
"Hurry up before I change my mind and leave you stranded here" Jade growled out impatiently.
Tori decided not to chance it and quickly made her way to the passenger's seat.
