This is my first series on here so I'm nervous but also really excited! Please tell me what you think,how to improve,or if I should continue! Also, thank you for using your time to check out this story and hope you enjoy it!
I'm Beck. And yes, I know this was a very stupid way to start the introduction. Anyway, all my friends and I were playing a game of truth or dare. It was my best friend's,Andre's, turn.
"Beck!" He grinned as he saw how my face cringed with a horrified look on my face.
"Yeah." I said less enthusiastic about me doing something stupid.
"Truth or dare?" Andre still had a stupid grin on his face.
"Dare!" I said bravely. I wasn't a tool! In fact, I'm the most popular guy in school! But I truthfully didn't take it into my attention I don't have is a girlfriend-now don't get me wrong I've dated girls before but they all treated me like a dog;asking me to do everything for them. I haven't been looking for one recently, knowing their probably not going to be treating me any different. But what I really want in a girl is that spark in their eye when they desire for something. Personality is a big thing to! I don't want a girl who always bites their tongue;I realized that I like a girl with a big mouth, someone who can say if it's right or wrong without it being sugar-coated;someone who fights back. I'd also,for once,have a girlfriend who's actually going to eat the pizza when I order it-but that's a different story.
"Beck?! Are you still alive or frozen in time?" Andre asked, leaning over the table and snapping his fingers in his face.
"Huh?" My mind flooded back into what was going on in the real world.
"I said,'I dare you to stick two grapes up your nose then blow them out.'" Andre repeated.
I have to admit,even the concept sounded hilarious,But it was still downright retarded.
"Seriously?" He could have done so much better.
"Well atleast it's not a dare from the infamous Jade West!" I froze. Jade West. The most terrifying girl in school. I looked over my shoulder to where she was sitting and there she was alone at her usual table,her head in her sketch book drawing. I knew absolutely nothing about the girl; just knowing a couple of rumors. One of them was she would sometimes spot out a random person and draw them in anime form.
She's amazingly good at it for the age of fourteen(I know this cause I'm in her art class).
She still hadn't noticed me, yet I'm still one table in front of her. She was to enthralled in her notebook to look up and see the world going on around her.
"You know to think about, Beck Oliver can't get EVERY girl!" He laughed with the gang and I was yet to join in. I reminded myself who she was; a freak, a demon, an outcast.
"I don't even know how she, like, got into HA anyway!" Some Amber chick exclaimed. The rest of us shrugged our shoulders.
The game went on for the rest of lunch until the bell rang, but we all agreed it was still Andre' s turn since he just finished his dare.
I gathered my things and headed towards the building when Andre texted.
Andre- Hey Beck, truth or dare?! :P
Beck- AGAIN?! Dare.
Andre- Promise you won't physically hurt me after?
Beck- yes...
Andre- I dare you to ask out Jade West!
My phone just about almost fell out of my hands, and reading it over and over didn't help. I never responded to the text, but I guess he might have expected it since he didn't say anything. I still had my thoughts swirling in my mind, trying to think of ways to get out of the situation, when I felt myself clash into someone else.
Looking down I saw The Wicked Witch of The West picking up all the books she dropped. A wave of guilt flooded me.
"I'm sorry, I should have looked where I was going." I said leaning down to pick up one of her books.
"It's alright." Jade muttered. Her voice was lifeless and a more depressed tone than I remember. I remember Andre once pointing out to me that whenever she screams or comments, I would smile a little. I hadn't told him why but I think her voice is powerful and smooth.
She looked up and I was now looking into a deep-sea of blue orbs. It was weird seeing her up close since I've only seen her pictures on The Slap or she would walk past me. She was gorgeous.
A group of girls quickly scattered around me(more like speed-walked since they were all wearing high heels) And pushed Jade out of they way, making her fall to the ground once-again.
"OMG! Are you okay?!" One blond girl screamed while 'inspecting' me.
"What did that FREAK do to you!?" Another screeched.
There were more comments but,thankfully, I'm saved by the bell. She stood a from the ground and walked away not taking a glance back.
Later that day, I walked into the Black Box for class, happily learning that our lesson today is stage fighting. The room was at its full capacity now because class was now beginning.
"Today we're talking about stage fighting. Cat, come up here and be my assistant. Remember what I taught you." A guy named Russ explained. Cat nodded nervously. Russ angled her and 'punched' her. Cat held her face in her hands looking relieved she wasn't hurt.
"Now I'm going to partner some of you up and give you a minute to practice your stage fight. Jade West and Rider Daniels, Beck Oliver and Charlotte Prim, I'll give you guys two minutes-Go!" Russ shouted. The two minutes turned into thirty seconds when everyone had grown impatient.
"Beck and Charlotte, you guys go first. And if anything goes wrong, yell the safe word 'Butternut'." Russ sat on a nearby chair and watched us. After, Everyone clapped at our great work and we sat down. Jade and Ryder walked up on stage and Ryder grabbed a wig and cane for his character.
"Oh, I sure did have fun at the bingo game! But I do miss Bob Pope..." Ryder said in his granny-like voice. The class chuckled.
"Give me your money." Jade said gravely, trying to reach for the purse in his hand.
"WHAT?!" He screamed.
"I'm not kidding! Give me your money and your watch!" She said.
"But don't you want some of this!" Ryder swung his cane, and the way he did it made me realize he was going to hit her on purpose. I sat helplessly, knowing what was going to happen now.
Jade fell to the floor in pain, blood drops falling on the ground.
"Butternut! Butternut!" She shouted. Ryder still stood there with a smirk on his face.
And while he only failed, she got a black eye.
As I walked to my car I saw Jade walk past me with her ice pack and a faint tear leaving her eye. As guilty as I felt I still remember who we both are; I'm a melodic tune and she's a broken piano. The bad Thing about my theory is you can fix pianos.
Could I fix a broken piano?
