Beck's POV

"Hey guys!" Cat came walking up to me, Tori and André, standing next to Tori's locker.

"Guess what!" Cat seemed pretty excited so it was probably something her brother had done.

"What, Cat?" André asked.

"There's a new girl coming to school today and she's in our acting class!"

"Cool" Tori said. "How is she? Have you met her?"

"Yeah, I've met her twice and she's totally cool!"

A new girl? I didn't know why, but I was pretty excited to meet her. It felt like she was going to be really special for me. A really good friend, maybe?

"So, we should get to class and meet her" I suggested

"Yeah!" Cat squealed. "I'm sure you'll like her, Beck. She's really cool!"

A few minutes later we all sat at our usual spots in Sikowitz classroom. Sikowitz wasn't there, neither was the new girl.

"Hey, Cat!" I hissed. Cat was sitting in the chair next to me, as usual.

"Yeah?" She asked, confused.

"You didn't told us what her name was" I didn't knew why, but I really needed to know.

"Oh! Sorry, Beck." Cat smiled apologizing. "Her name is Jade"

Jade. I kinda liked it. It was short, but nice.

"Hey class!" We got interrupted by Sikowitz, who fell in from the window. It wasn't surprising – It could have been much worse. "So, have anyone seen the new girl?"

"I have, I have!" Cat jumped up and down on her chair.

"Good" Sikowitz said. "Cat, where is she?"

Cat's face fell. "I don't know"

In the same time the door opened. Cat's face lit up. "There she is!"

Everyone turned around to look at the new girl, Jade. She was pretty tall and pale, with long, brown hair, with blue streaks in it. Her expression told me that she wasn't a girl you mess with. She wore a simple long, dark grey tank top, black skinny jeans and heavy, black combat boots. She had two piercings in her face and wore a lot of silver jewelry.

"Hey, Jadey boo!" Cat looked at the girl, smiling.

"Shut up!" Jade mumbled but regretted it when she saw Cat's hurt expression.

"Sorry, I meant: Hi Cat!" Jade said, faking a smile. "What are you staring at" She hissed when she walked past me, on her way to the empty chair next to Tori. In the next moment she tripped over my bag on the floor and fell right into my arms. She glared at me and got up.

"Keep your bag in your lap, dude". Then she went to go sit next to Tori.

I hardly paid any attention to Sikowitz in the whole hour. My mind was only focusing on one thing – the new girl, Jade. I had no idea what to think of her. She was dark and kinda mean, yeah, but there was still something about her that made wanna get to know her.

When the bell rang I hurried out of class, ignoring Cat's excited "Yay! Dance class!". Only to run straight into Jade.

"Do you have some serious problems, kid?" She groaned, frustrated.

"Um, I'm sorry. I'm Beck". I flashed her my signature smile. It worked on most girls, but apparently not her. She just rolled her eyes.

"You think I have any interest in what you're named?" With a smirk she turned around and walked away.

I just stood there, looking after her, feeling really stupid. But glad in one way – I had just noticed that her eyes were blue. Oceanblue.

Jade sat with our usual group at lunch. I noticed her glaring at Tori from time to time while eating her burrito. Tori looked confused. Robbie, Rex – yeah, he was a puppet, but still vey annoying – and André were all staring at Jade as if she was some goddess or something. I had to admit I did too, sometimes. But I couldn't help myself. She was really special, and beautiful.

"I want coffee" Jade said suddenly. "Where can I get it?"

"I can get it for you" I offered.

"Two sugars"

"Okay"

"Give me my coffee" She demanded when I returned with the coffee. I gave it to her with a smile.

"Isn't there something you should say to me? I asked playfully.

"No. Why? Her voice was cold. I wondered if she always acted this way.

"So you're not gonna say 'thank you'?

"Nope" She raised her pierced eyebrow. "Surprised?"

I sighed and sat down next to Cat.

Cat – with a huge smile on her tiny face – was telling Robbie about the time she and her brother went to the bowling alley. Apparently her brother had hit a bunch of random people with bowling balls.

Suddenly Jade rose from her place next to André. "You know what? I'm leaving"

"Why?" Cat's face fell.

"Don't worry, I'll talk to ya later, buddy". Jade ruffled Cat's red hair and left.

"Man, that chick is hot!" exclaimed Rex.

"Hey, I was going to say that!" Robbie complained.

"I think she's really cool!" And there Cat goes with the squealing again.

"Cool? More like a scary emo-freak" Tori muttered under her breath.

"What about you, Beck? Like her?" André turned to me, smirking.

"C'mon man, I dunno, She's kinda scary" I admitted. But beautiful.

"So you don't mind if I ask her out?" If André asked Jade out? I shouldn't feel weird about that. I mean, I wasn't going to ask hero ut. Or was I?

"No, why should I? Go ahead" I gestured for him to walk after her. He rose from his chair with a big grin on his face, before running after Jade.

Later – after History class – I walked up to him in the hallway.

"Hey, André?"

"Yeah?"

"Did you ask Jade out yet?" The curiosity was taking me over and I couldn't help but wish she said no.

"Yeah"

"And what did she say?"

"You wanna know, man?" he asked quietly.

"Yeah! Of course!"

"She said 'go to hell' and that she rather would date a hedgehog.

"Not really nice, huh?"

"Nah. Mean chick"

"Sorry, man" I felt bad for him. But why did i feel happy at the same time? I shouldn't be relieved that Jade rejected him. I couldn't help but wonder what she'd say if I asked her out.

AN: So this is my first fanfic. Please let me know what you think about it. Even if you hate it. In my opinion this is the worst chapter. The coming ones are a lot better. Keep reading!
