OF JEALOUSY AND SCIENCE TUTORS
It was the next day after the stage fighting incident Beck knew one of his girlfriends had a tendency to go MIA but when both of them start ignoring him, a possible murder may be in working.
Halfway through the hallway, he noticed Andre standing in front of an open "Make it Shine" locker. Taking in a deep breath as he approached the duo.
"Hey," he said.
Andre turned around to look at him giving him a perfect view of Tori. She wore a yellow sundress that ended a few inches above her knees, paired with simple sandals showing off her long tan legs. He felt his breath hitch.
"Wooah" he thought.
"Hey," both of them said.
"Umm is there any reason you are wearing ...that" he pointed to the dress.
"You mean a dress?" she asked with an raised eyebrow.
He nodded
"If you consider Trina stealing my clothes and not returning them, then yes. Beside that no apparent reason."
'Ohh' he thought.
"So, you wanted to say something?" she asked
"Well, I wanted to apologize about yesterday I texted you but you didn't reply!"
Oh he did a lot more than text, like searched the whole school, their favorite spots, waited outside her house, and got chased by her dad while trying to sneak through her window, good thing he had a hood covering his face.
"Oh no it's okay, I mean we barely know each other for two weeks so I get it you misunderstand me!" She replied smiling brightly, while he felt someone stabbed him in the heart.
"Anyway, I am getting late bye"
"Wait classes don't start for half an hour" he argued, he really wanted to talk to her.
"Yeah I know, but Mrs Callingher asked me to tutor Joe Ryans."
"Ooh, he is hot" Robbie joined their conversation coming from go knows where.
"Anyway, we decided to work before classes begin since he has basketball practice after school." Tori said shaking her head, while the other two gave Robbie a weird look.
"So, Tori is all dolled up to impress him or you wanna go out with me, hottie!" Rex asked ignoring the glare from Beck.
"None"
"Hey teacher, looking cute" And they were once again interrupted, this time by Joe.
"And you are looking handsome as usual, ready to crack some chemistry equations"
"Of course, my lady!" he replied kissing her hand.
She giggled at him and both left together somewhere, keeping the three confused boys standing there.
"I bet they will start dating"
"What?" both Andre and Beck asked.
"A good girl tutoring a bad boy that's how most love stories start"
"Well, this is not a storybook!" Beck said irritatingly.
"Yeah, it's real life!" Andre commented.
"so they won't be making out by the end of the day?" Rex asked.
"Gross" "No," the other two said simultaneously.
"See Rob you will not have a girlfriend even if you Tutor them for free," Rex told and Robbie started arguing.
Beck looked around a little and then asked "Have any of you seen Jade?"
"Nah"
"No."
Andre and Robbie told simultaneously.
The first half of the day went exceedingly painfully for Beck, as he didn't share any classes with either of his girlfriends. Soon, it was lunch period and Beck couldn't be happier.
Beck and Robbie were the only ones at the table when Jade joined sitting beside her boyfriend.
"Hey to you too, mind explaining why you haven't answered any of my texts from yesterday?"
"Busy!"
"Just Busy, if I didn't answer any text within 5 minutes, you would have gone all bulldog on me!"
"Did you call me a bitch?"
"No" he shook his head repeatedly at how fast this conversation went south.
"Oooh, so that's how it is!" she shouted and stormed away to the grub truck grabbing Cat and sitting at another table.
Andre walked over and sat beside Beck.
"Another fight?" he eyed him and the fuming Jade.
"Something like that" he sighed, they use to fight a lot but it became less frequent after Tori became a part of the relationship.
"Where is Tori?" Beck asked.
"Didn't you have class together?" Robbie asked Andre.
"Joe and she are at the black box theatre studying" Andre answered.
"Won't She eat?" Robbie asked.
"They took their lunch there"
"So they are on a date." Robbie enquired.
"No, they are studying," Beck told nonchalantly trying to show that the arrangement does not irk him.
"A girl, a boy alone in black box theatre studying Chemistry tell me what else do I need to know?" Rex smirked as Beck glared at the puppet.
"Well, both of them are single" Andre commented.
"You know I am full," he said pushing his plate forward.
"So, we can have the rest of the pizza"
"Yeah, sure!" He said getting up.
"Where are you going?" Robbie asked.
"I need to get something from my locker" Beck left the duo alone.
Jade smirked as she saw her boyfriend leaving the lunch table, she got up from her table and followed him. It was a relief from listening to Cat ramble something about Mr. Purples"
"Hey, can I talk to Tori?" Beck asked entering the black box theatre and glaring at the blondie who was in middle of explaining how the equation looked like a snake.
"Yeah, sure!"
He took Tori's hand and went out into the hallway and then pulled her into the janitor's closet.
"What are you doing?" he asked
"What do you mean?"
"First you two were ignoring me then you are spending your time with him"
"So?… are you jealous?"
"No, ….I am not … just curious" he said trying to act indifferent.
"What's burning so bad here?" Jade asked joining the conversation.
"Beck!" Tori answered.
"Wait you two were on this together, weren't you?" Beck said joining the dots.
Jade snarked, "So how does it feel Beck Oliver to get a dose of your medicine" Tori continued, "Last day you not only helped Jessica but also didn't believe me!"
"I tried to find you the whole day!"
"Oh yeah how come Jade and Andre found me but not you?"
"Well as an apology gift I went to get these he took out three paper tickets from his bag"
"What are those?"
"Three tickets to Katy Perry's concert"
"Really"
"Yes"
She took the tickets and smiled "Well then you are forgiven … ohh and Beck Joe likes guys"
She got out of the janitor's closest leaving him with a hanging mouth and with an angry Jade
"So, I guess it was your Idea."
"Yeah, I saw him checking you out sometimes."
"Ooh"
"So, Mr. Oliver are you forgetting something?"
"I am sorry!"
Jade smirked.
"But does he really need tutors?"
"No, it was a lie. Nobody here knows that Ri is a science geek and besides I don't like sharing our science tutor."
Flashback
Almost a year and a half ago,
Jade and Beck were arguing, in his RV while the whole floor was scattered with notes.
"You should have written those questions!"
"What now this is my fault! I was at the rehearsal"
"So, you could have asked one of those minions to give you notes, they would. they would have happily given those to you"
"You, are the only one who said to stay away from them"
"So?"
"You…"
They were interrupted by a knocking at the door.
"Its open!"
"Special delivery!" Tori came in with a bright smile and a box of Pizza.
"Oh, thank god I am starving!" Jade said.
"So do I get a warm hug "
"No"
She was met with the famous Vega pout.
"Oh c'mon just let me eat! my head cannot take any more of this biology shit."
"You two studying science," she said taking in the notes.
"Trying to"
"We have a test this Thursday"
"And we missed a lot of classes for the new play"
"So, right now we are trying to make it up"
"Oh I can help you if you want?"
"You any good at science "
"Well, you are looking at the science club president of Sherwood High. So yes."
"Wow"
"Help us" Jade ordered
"Ok let's see"
Friday after the results, Beck called Tori.
"So did you two pass?"
"Pass, we both got the highest. Well I got the highest Jade got two marks less than me"
"Oh congrats"
"Well it wouldn't be possible without you"
"I would have been fine" Jade shouted from the other end of the RV
"Tell her that 'I don't answer stupid questions' wouldn't be giving her marks"
Beck laughed, "Anyway we were thinking." "you were thinking don't involve me in it" Jade stated.
"We ... were thinking if you would tutor us" Beck continued ignoring his girlfriend.
"And what would I be getting?"
"How much do you want?"
"I charge two hugs from Jade every session and obviously no trying to kill me in any form with or without scissors"
"I promise no such thing!" Jade sneered.
"C'mon…." he begged Jade
"no"
"please"
"no"
"I will buy you new pair of scissors." He bribed.
"… fine!"
And that's how Tori became their science tutor.
Ok, a filler chapter next one will have something juicy.
I am a little busy right now, so have no idea when the next chapter will be posted. But I will try to do it as soon as possible.
