Chapter one: Partners

Jade's POV

The big showcase is coming up. I am very exited, because we are getting our partners today!

Sikowitz is going to give them out during class! I hope I'm paired with Cat! She's the only person in this school I can sort of stand.

I sit down in Sikowitz's class, next to Cat. She looks at me excitedly.

"Who do you think you'll be paired up with! I hope we're partners! What would we sing?" Cat bubbles.

"I don't know Cat," I snap.

Sikowitz walks through the window.

"Good morning students," He begins, taking a sip from his cocoanut.

"Just give us our partners for the big showcase!" Some kid I don't know blurts.

"Okay," Sikowitz agrees reluctantly. He grabs a stack of papers and hands each one out, slowly, just to torture us. Finally, he gets to Cat and I.

I flip over my sheet. I Sikowitz's messy scrawl was written, "Beck Oliver".

Beck Oliver. I think I'd heard his name a few times. He was new, and friends with Andre Harris, who I have met a few times.

I turn towards Cat.

"Who'd you get?" I wonder.

"Trina Vega," Cat groans.

"You?" Cat wonders.

"Beck Oliver." I explain. Cat looks at me, I think I detect a hint of jealousy.

"Oooh, lucky! You'll have girls coming up to you all week asking to trade places." Cat giggles.

"Why?" I ask.

"Beck!" She said impatiently, "The one who you said had sexy hair!" Cat giggles loudly.

"That was Beck!" I realize. Man, I am one lucky girl, I think to myself. Cat nods.

"Wait a second," I remember, "isn't Beck all serious about acting? Can he sing?" I ask Cat.

"I dunno, this is his first Big Showcase," Cat reminds me.

"Well, he better sing, and he better sing good." I say through my teeth.

Beck's POV

"Jade West" my paper reads. I frown. Ugh! Jade is like, the scary, goth girl who loves scissors or something. I have never seen her before, but that's how people describe her.

"Hey man, who'd you get?" Andre Harris wonders at lunch later that day.

"Jade." I reply, clearly disappointed.

"That's too bad," Andre sighs, "She can be.. Bossy." Andre finishes.

"You?" I wonder.

"Robbie Shapiro." Andrea informs me.

"Oh, that's not too bad, Robbie's nice.. Minus Rex," I laugh.

"I wish I could say the same for Jade," Andre says, "That's her right there... You should go ask her what she wants to sing..." Andre says. I look in the direction of his finger.

Jade. The word no longer seems scary, it seems beautiful. I look over at the goth girl everyone is afraid of. She is.. Hot. Yeah, she's really hot.. Why isn't she dating? I think people find her scary, but I don't. I find her intriguing, gorgeous, and mysterious. I look at her from head to toe. Her icy blue eyes, her gorgeous brown hair, her beautiful figure.

"Beck!" Andre shouts, " Are you gonna go over there?" He wonders, I nod.

Jade is beautiful. Jade Is my partner for the big showcase.

I am one lucky guy.
