AN:
1. Big thanks to Serna93 for "Stroking my ego" with that awesome review, I enjoyed the confidence boost.
2. Pretty Important, I was informed that the word I used, Tår, was an incorrect in its meaning. If you look the word up you'll see a (dated) meaning that goes along the lines of "A small cup of coffee" but it also means "tear" or "toes" in Swedish and that's how it's generally used. The correct term would actually be Kaffetår, Kaffe=coffee. I'll be sure to get around to correcting that.
3. I know I'm not done with this story yet, but this idea keeps knocking at me, Victorious Hogwarts AU? I really like the concept and I have an idea of what house and lineage to put everyone in. If you guys have any suggestion on who should go in which house, please tell me.
That's all for now, hope you guys enjoy the chapter.

Vega doesn't have walls
Tori doesn't keep everyone out, the girl is as open as a book. She's a friendly person that's always up for helping others.
Everyone knows that.
She strolls through the halls of Hollywood arts with a smile that most people can't help but reciprocate when they see it.
As usual, "most people" didn't include Jade West.
Some days she hates that smile Tori plasters on her face and she hates everyone else even more for smiling right back.
Today is one of those days.
Its lunch time and Jade has been extra ganky to Tori all day.
Tori glares at her for yet another sarcastic remark, but Jade's unfazed by it.
Jade rather have Tori's glare than that smile.
Vega didn't need walls
There's times when everyone else is so wrapped up in their own world that Jade and Tori end up being wrapped up in each other's gazes.
That's when Jade sees it.
It's brief, but Tori is smiling at her and she loves it because it's not the same smile she gives everyone else.
Sometimes the two of them are left alone together and they talk.
At first it's about random things, what happened that day, Sikowitz's crazy coconuts, some new song; just insignificant talks.
It takes Tori a while to get Jade to open up, to get past her walls.
It takes Jade even longer to find Tori's concealments.
Vega was good at hiding.
Tori didn't have walls because she didn't need let everyone in, just like a magician showing off his "normal" deck of cards.
It wasn't until you pulled out the right book, revealing a hidden door or lifted up the nice looking carpet and found the hatch underneath; that's when you understood.
So Jade hated that smile Tori had on her face all the time and Jade hated that no one else saw it but her.
Vega hid behind a smile
