A/N: A big thanks to Ywenn01, Rishini, sayyouwontletgo, irshgirl, hngyn and the Guest for reviewing. Enjoy :)

Who decided to visit the school before he went to it on Monday anyway? A question Jade had asked herself ever since Helen told her about the new student. It was strange even for Hollywood Arts standards, but Jade didn't really care. As long as the new student wouldn't be annoying her she had no reason to immediately dislike him. She didn't know if she should met him somewhere, so she just got her books out of her locker to get ready for class like every morning, when she heard a male voice.

"Hey."

If that was the guy again that already asked her to take part in his play he better run. She still hadn't her first coffee and was in no mood to put up with him. Turing around she was ready to scream at him to leave her alone and halfway through a not so nice 'What' her breath caught in her throat when she came face to face with a quite familiar guy.

"Missed me Jewel?"

For the first time since her break up with Beck Jade smiled, a true smile. There in front of her stood Kyle, one of her closest friends before she came to Hollywood Arts. She hadn't seen him in forever, but he couldn't have picked a better time to show up.

"You bet I did." With that Jade West did something that probably no one saw coming, but she wasn't predictable after all.

Beck could only watch helplessly when his ex-girlfriend practically threw herself at the new guy who had just approached her locker. Whoever that was didn't seemed surprised and effortlessly caught Jade in his arm, embracing her. That wasn't the worst part, what absolutely shattered Beck's heart all over again was the bright smile Jade gave this guy, a smile Beck had thought was only reserved for him. It was the first time he saw her smile since that faithful day he hadn't opened the door and his heart squeezed painfully at the thought that it wasn't directed at him.

"Whoa who is that hot guy hugging Jade?" Tori's question made Beck frown and feel as if someone had stabbed him with one of Jade's beloved scissors.

"Do you know him?" Andre asked him.

Only now Beck remembered that he had been talking to his friends by his locker while that guy had approached Jade and took all his focus over to his ex-girlfriend.

"No, I don't." He admitted reluctantly.

"But I do." Cat smiled happily. She was the only one who Jade had let even close to her. Despite that Jade had spent all her time alone since the break up Cat was allowed to talk to her from time to time for a short period. The rest of them was ignored by Jade ever since the first lunch break after the break up.

Thinking about Jade's words the pain in his heart flamed up. She had told him she didn't even want to know the person he had turned out to be and that had hurt him so much. Despite his cool and laid-back behavior that he still pretend to have after the break up, deep inside himself it looked different. He loved Jade and their break up didn't change that, but he was tired of their fighting. All he wanted now was talk to her and tell her that they could work on the problems they had and then get back together again, but she refused to even look in his direction. It almost seemed like she went back to the way she was when he first met her. Back then Jade was very reserved when it came to emotions other than anger. Only with time and a lot of love Beck had shown her that it was okay to open up and trust him. Now however he felt like a liar, because in the end he betrayed the trust she had given him. She had shown him all sides of her and let him in, only for him to break her heart. He was pulled out of his thoughts when Cat told them about the new guy.

"That's Kyle. Before Jadey and I went to Hollywood Arts we went to school with him and his best friend Tyler. It was so much fun. Jade and Kyle were so great together and were called the perfect couple but they weren't really a couple but me and his best friend were, but no one called us a perfect couple." At that Cat's face fell slightly. "Anyway Kyle always called Jade by his nickname for her. He always said 'my Jewel', isn't that sweet? Sadly when we came to Hollywood Arts we didn't spend so much time with them any more and Tyler broke up with me because of it."

"I see why everyone thought they would fit together. I mean they both wear so much black and they both give a proud aura off." Robbie mused after Cat had finished her story.

"What do you mean 'a proud aura'?" Andre asked confused.

"I think he means that people respect them both because they hold themselves a special way. I mean they look kind of perfect together when you think about it." Seeing Beck frown Tori hastily added. "Not that Jade would move on so quickly or anything:"

Beck could only watch Jade talking to Kyle while they still stood rather close to each other. Cat's information had done nothing to calm his worries down, if anything they had confirmed them. Kyle was an impressive guy with his dark hair and muscular body. Beck could admit that he could understand why girls would go for him, not that he had nicer hair than him. The way his ex-girlfriend was smiling at the new guy and now knowing they had history together made Beck realize the mistake he had made by letting Jade go. He had no right to be jealous, because Jade wasn't his girlfriend anymore, but why did he feel like punching Kyle only because he was able to touch Jade and he was not?

Meanwhile Jade wasn't aware of her ex-boyfriend's pain and was just enjoying talking to Kyle. After everything that had happened the last few days it was good to see someone she could call a friend. Despite only texting with him most of the time because after she went to Hollywood Arts they hadn't so much contact any more she still considered him a friend. He had never done anything to betray her trust in him and she knew she could count on him.

"So you're the new kid I should show around." She smirked amused.

"Guess so, considering I ask Helen especially for you to be my guide." So Helen hadn't made her the guide because she wanted to change classes but because Kyle had asked for her. Of course Helen must have seen the opportunity to make this deal with her, so she would agree to do it without discussion. That woman was clever, Jade had to admit. "Anyway why don't we get you some coffee before you get all grumpy at me."

After all these years he still knew her quite well and Jade lead him out to the coffee cart and of course made him pay for her coffee. They had still time before her first class would start, so they sat down at one of the tables at Asphalt Cafe.

"So what talent got you into Hollywood Arts? I know for a fact sarcastic remarks and wearing black aren't considered a talent here."

"If it's not why are you here?" That earned him a well deserved punch in the ribs from Jade. Already knowing that would come Kyle only shrugged and continued. "Well actually acting and singing got me in."

"The singing part doesn't surprise me, your school band was legendary back then or I wouldn't have sang with you guys from time to time, but the acting part? What's up with that?"

"Well I thought it would be nice to convince people once in a while that I'm a nice person, you know all rainbows and unicorns inside." Kyle smirked at her.

"Of course you are, just like I secretly wear pink." They shared a smirked at that.

"So where is that fluffy haired boyfriend of yours that is the reason I see you so rarely?" Jade's good mood dimmed immediately and Kyle seemed to notice that, because his smirk was replaced with a concerned look and he lay an arm around her. "Jewel what happened?"

Hearing Kyle use his old nickname for her again made her smile slightly and she swallowed the lump in her throat that had appeared at the mention of her ex-boyfriend.

"Beck broke up with me after three years." When Kyle asked her if she wanted to talk about it she shook her head. "Not right now, I still have a whole school day ahead of me and I don't want to show up looking like a mess." Kyle pulled her closer at that and she rested her head on his shoulder. It was good to have him here with her.

That was the scene Beck walked into when he went outside to get his coffee this morning. His Jade in the arms of another guy, but to be fair she wasn't his Jade any more. She could hug, date and kiss whoever she liked because they weren't together anymore and it was his fault. Sure Jade wasn't innocent on their break up, but it was him that didn't open that door. If Jade wanted to move on she had every right to do so, but was it so wrong of him that he didn't want her to because he still loved her with all his heart. Beck had a feeling with Kyle here everything would change and he was even further away from getting Jade back than he was before.

A/N: I hope you got a good first impression of Kyle. I'm thinking about posting the next chapter on the weekend if you would like that. Please review and tell me what you think :)
