When Beck and I arrived at Hollywood Arts it was already lunch time. "Where were you," Beck's girlfriend Jade said when we neared the table. Then she noticed me. "And who is she?"
"Jade this is Becca, Becca this is my girlfriend Jade."
"Hi Jade," I said smiling and reaching out an arm.
"I don't want to shake that skanks hand," she said glaring at Beck. "Now tell me who this girl is. And what she is doing on your arm."
"Someone's a little jealous." A girl who I believe was Tori muttered.
"Shut it Vega." Jade said. "Now will you please just tell me who this skank is."
"Finally you said please. And this 'skank' is my cousin. You should show a little respect for her. She's the one who told me I should just ask you out."
"She doesn't look like she's your cousin." Jade said smugly.
"Well I am," I said. The boy with the puppet moved over some so there was room for Beck and I to sit down in between him and Jade. "His dad and my dad are twin brothers."
"Well how come I've never seen you before?" I saw Beck give her a look to stop giving me the third degree.
"Because I've been living in the east for the past few years and haven't gotten a chance to visit."
"And why haven't I heard about you before?"
"Because you talk over me Jade," Beck threw in. "Now will you cut it out?"
"Fine," Jade said inching closer to Beck and holding his hand. "But what are you doing here?"
"Jade." Beck said quietly.
"No, I want to know." Jade protested.
"I just moved back to the West Coast, and well today is my first day at Hollywood Arts." I smiled.
"Finally," Tori said. "I'm not the new kid anymore."
"You'll always be the new kid," Jade retorted. As she said this, the girl with the red hair and the boy with the keyboard, Cat and Andre I believe came and sat down at the table.
"Hey guys," Andre said. "Oh, who's this?"
"My cousin Becca." Beck said.
"Oh, Beck and Becca, that's so cute." Cat said. "Is your last name Oliver too?"
"Yeah it is." I said smiling.
"You two are practically twins. He's Beck Oliver, you're Becca Oliver, wow." She said smiling and sitting down. Jade scoffed and rolled her eyes. "I'm Cat," she said extending an arm. I shook her hand. "Wow, soft hands."
"Thanks." I said laughing.
"I'm Andre." he said waving.
"Hi Andre." I said smiling.
"You smell good." The puppet said leaning his head near me.
"What?" I said looking at it like it was crazy.
"I said, 'You smell good.'"
"Thanks?"
"I'm Rex," the weird puppet said. "And that dork with the glasses is Robbie, and that girl over there is Tori."
"Well hello Robbie, and hello Tori."
"Hey," they said in unison, but Rex was speaking over them, "I don't get a hello?"
"Shut up Rex," Jade said. "Or I swear, I will dismember you, bake you and then flush you down the toilet."
"Hi," Robbie said again still staring at me.
"So Becca is going to be going to Hollywood Arts with us," Beck said to Andre and Cat.
"YAY! New friends." Cat said. "Do you want some candy?" She said holding up a bag of M&Ms. "We can split it halfsies."
"Uhm, sure." I said smiling. Cat poured half the bag on the table in front of her and then handed me the rest. "Thanks."
"You're welcome." Just as I started to take the first bite of one, a strange bell started to ring.
"Time for Sikowitz's class." Beck said.
"He's the coconut one right?" I said laughing and standing from the table. Beck had told me some funny stuff about Sikowitz.
"Yeah that's the one." Beck said laughing as well. Jade was just looking at me hard. She then put her arm around Beck and pulled him to her side tightly. It took both of his arms to loosen her grip a little.
