Tori had woken up early for school that day and she grabbed all her belongs off her bed. While placing her messenger bag over her shoulder and tying her sweatshirt around her waist. Her wet hair dangled over her shoulders after she went down the stairs to the kitchen quickly making something for herself. Trina was already gone and she started to go out the door and headed off to school.
The sun was slowly rising and painting the sky different colors. Managing the doors of the school of Hollywood Arts she groaned lightly and nearly fell over her shoe laces. Bending down she tied them and then she walked over to her locker and pulled out her schedule to see what items she needed for the day.
A sigh escaped her as she started to grab her belongings out of the locker and then she turned and slowly started headed towards the steps and sat down and looked at her phone as she waited for her friends. So she could talk to them about a few things like they always did before classes started. Once done with her phone she looked around and wondered where they could be.

 She was glad that it was finally morning and she could leave her house. Lately she was not able to deal with her parents. She thought maybe because she was a sophomore now, and after this she only had two years to "redeem herself" on her high school resume.
Her father insisted on driving her to school. It was a long awkward, silent, car ride. Her theory is that driving her was his way of apologizing for her insane mother. Or maybe she was reading too much into that. He didn't much care for her choices for her future either.
She knew she shouldn't blame them. Her family was well off, they all had very professional careers. When they look at acting, especially stage acting rather than screen acting, they see nothing more than frivolous hobbyists. Not professionals. She would need to change their mind about that one, but with her father being the only one to actually see any of her work, well, she didn't have high hopes for the rest of her family turning up at any of the others. Especially with the awful things they said about her unfinished work.
She knew she should not take their opinions too harshly. The first rule of acting at Hollywood arts was not to let other's opinions of their work shape what they, themselves, think of it. She knew what she had on paper was good, and the ideas about it that were still floating around in scribbled bits of paper, notebook margins of her notes, napkins from restaurants and coffee shops. All this kept in a little binder she is now toting everywhere is a work of true art. She just needs to finish is. Put it all together and then begin mentally blocking the stage. Not to mention get the whole thing approved by the school.
She stepped out of her father's car, moving to close the door, but her father stopped it. "You know you should really stop this little game and go to a real high school before you throw away your entire future." He said sternly. Jade opened the door wider and slammed it back to the car as hard as she could/
There is was, the thing that set a perfectly good morning into a fit of rage. She had thought that he understood, at least on some level, that she just could not fill the shoes that they planned for her. He didn't need to like what she was doing, but she had thought he accepted it after he showed up at her performance. She thought he had been at least a little proud of her talent.
Jade stormed through the school, getting to her locker and shoving the things she didn't need in it and slammed the locker closed. She sat down moodily on the steps, looking at Tori, but knowing better than to open her mouth when she was still angry at her father. So instead she settled for a quick wave.

A few hours went by as Tori sat on the school steps in the school. She looked at her phone as it vibrated and she answered a few texts. Knowing she had almost woken up late she walked over to the vending machine and pulled out a few dollars and inserted them into the machine. Then she picked out what she wanted to drink and then headed back over to the stairs and sat back down waiting for a few familiar faces to show up.
Looking through her backpack she wasn't sure if she had done any of her homework the night before, but she did and she had to make sure it was in there. Or some teachers would have a fit with her for not doing it. Tori wasn't a big fan of doing homework. Especially if it was Work sheets. Opening up her water she took a small sip and she looked around. A few students had arrived that were the newbies and a few old ones.
Hearing a door slam she looked out the window for a moment and noticed Jade and her father talking. She went back to the stairs and hummed lightly as she looked through her homework sheets. One's that were unfinished and she finished them lightly. Turning her head to watch Jade storm through she wondered what her deal was. But she didn't bother on asking. Knowing how dangerous Jade could be when asked a question.
Her eyes darted from her homework to see Jade staring at her. However, she wasn't sure on why she was staring at her. These two usually never went along nicely. Did Jade just wave at her? Tori said nothing to her and gave a little awkward wave back.

Jade furrowed her brows when the girl looked at her oddly. She didn't think she was doing anything out of the ordinary besides being in a particularly bad mood. That should not be a surprise, she was never in a particularly good mood when around Tori. She narrowed her eyes trying to figure out what the cheery girl was thinking. When the answers didn't immediately come to her she frowned. "What?!" She demanded loudly.
She crossed her arms over her chest. She wished she had, had her coffee. She loved coffee, but her dad insisted on driving her to school so she did not get the chance to stop for her coffee. She leaned her head against the railing, pulling out her phone and sent a quick text to Beck. 'Get me coffee.' she sent out, setting her phone on her lap. She looked at the message sent notification and frowned. Maybe she should try being a little nice...she was sure he would tell her to ask nicely anyways. 'please.' She added as an afterthought. She just hoped he had the time because he mood would just get worse if she did not have some before class started. Or at least during class. She didn't bother texting him how she wanted it. Black with two sugars. He knew that already. She pulled up her phone and posted 'If you didn't get my text..... Beck you should bring me coffee.....please.... onto her slap page. She didn't know why that if he didn't get her text he would for some reason see it on TheSlap but she was beyond normal person logic.
She yawned, covering her mouth with her hand. She didn't like people seeing her face when she yawned. It was unattractive and a little bit rude. No one wanted to look into your disgusting mouth. Not that Jade usually bothered to be polite about anything.

Tori hated being screamed at first thing in the morning. But it was Jade after all and she always had yelled at people. Through out the years of going though Hollywood Arts Tori had gotten used to it. Taking a small sip from her drink she held in her hands she looked over at Jade as she yelled at her. "Nothing. No need to yell Jade.." she said calmly. "Please, don't yell. I hardly got any sleep last night" she said rubbing her eyes.
The young sophomore looked around then back at Jade. She had forgotten a few things in her locker and she went over to it and grabbed a binder for a few classes and looked through them. "I still have homework for him?" she said groaning. "Should have done that last night...I hope he'll be able to let me extend my time with it" she said placing it in her bag. Tori looked at the front doors and wondered who else would be entering.
Once she saw no one coming in she looked over at Jade again and leaned on her locker for a moment. She looked down at her text and answered it before she looked back up at her. "So, how are you?" she questioned nervously. "Where's Beck?" she asked suddenly knowing Beck he was usually with Jade when they were in school. Tori looked over at Jade for a moment unsure of what to say. "You don't have to answer that if you don't want to. Its alright" she said suddenly.

Jade did not really understand why Tori was telling her she did not get a lot of sleep. So what? It didn't bother her in the least. Maybe the girl should get some caffeine, or sleep more. Or shut up. Really, she could pick one. She didn't voice such things, however. "I don't care about your sleep patterns Vega." She drawled.
She ignored the brunette as she mumbled about homework. She didn't care. Did Tori have some sort of mental illness. Talking to herself in public. That was strange. Jade just rolled her eyes. Normally she would have some sort of snarky comment but without her morning coffee and after her father pretty much denying all hope she had, had about having any support in her decision of going to Hollywood Arts, she did not want to waste the effort.
"Do I look like his keeper?" She snapped at the girl. What did it matter where Beck was? And why was she so interested in her boyfriend. It annoyed her. A lot. "Why are you so interested in the location of my boyfriend anyways?" She added in the same tone. It was ridiculous. The girl did not need to know where Beck was, not that she did anyways. She could guess probably somewhere between his R.V. and the school. Where exactly that was, was beyond her. Hopefully getting her coffee. She could really use some coffee. She was an addict, she knew that. She wasn't really sure whether it was coffee itself or caffeine in general. She assumed caffeine, but coffee was really the only way she enjoyed it. Energy drinks really were not her thing.

Tori mumbled a little bit to herself about the homework for some other classes that seemed to be due within a week. It was a good thing to considering she didn't do any of it. A sigh escaped her and then she looked over at Jade as she closed her locker and she had her eyes widened a bit as he spoke to her in a snappy tone.
"Well, he's usually with you always and I just think that its unusual to not see him here with you" she said looking at her and she shrugged. Taking a sip of her drink she looked around then felt vibration from her phone and sat down near her locker again and answered a text from Andre and then closed her phone. Grabbing her things she didn't know what to say to Jade. "Sorry..." she said suddenly looking over at Jade. Tori wasn't in the mood to start a fight about where Beck was to Jade.
Pulling out a hair brush she walked back towards her little area she was in before Jade got there and tried to tame her hair. Once it was done she put it back in her elastic and gave a sigh. But she didn't say anything and she waited for the others to arrive. Hopefully they'd be coming in soon.
