Jade's POV
It was no later than 6:30 when I woke up. Tori was still sleeping peacefully next to me, so I got off the bed as silently as I could and went to snoop around Vega's room so that I could find out what was bothering her so much these days.
I snooped around for a few minutes before finally finding something I could work with. Under a pile of bunch of crap on her dresser, I found a notebook. I opened it up and discovered that it was a journal; my girlfriend had a diary…Okay then. I opened it up to the first entry October 12th, Tori's first day at HA:
"Dear journal,
Today was my first day of school at Hollywood Arts. The people and teachers are really fun and all, but there was this one person, Jade West. One look at her and you know she is all closed up and pissed off 24/7. I accidentally spilled coffee on her boyfriend today, and she flipped out. On our improvising exercise, she made me be a dog and she spilled coffee over my head to get rid of the flees. She's such a bitch. Honestly I don't even know why she was mad at me in the first place, what did I ever do to her?"
You rubbed my then boyfriend all over, and it pissed me like hell at that time
"It's not like I'm even interested in her boyfriend, Beck, if that is what she's worried about. I'm not even interested in guys at all."
Wait a second, Vega didn't want Beck. She was gay even then?
"I've never been kissed, never had a boyfriend. I don't know, most guys are just stupid or asses, so I don't even bother with them"
Oh… Anyways, skipping a few pages over, reading through her many complaints about me and wishing I'd go to hell and all that. I found and entry the first day of senior year:
"Dear journal,
Today is the first of senior year. I'm so worried about getting into Juilliard. I've done everything I've had to do at HA these past 2 years so that I could get in, but what it's not enough? What am I gonna do if I don't get in? I can't imagine what I would do if not making music for the rest of my life. And then there's Jade… I just wanna get away from her. She won't help make my life any easier this year…"
Tori wanted to go to Juilliard, I already knew that but she was worried about getting in, why? She was surely going to get in. She's the most amazing singer and person I've ever met in my entire life. Reading this page however, stuck a knife in my heart. I didn't know she hated me that much, I felt the tears running down my face, but I read onwards anyway:
"OH. MY. GOD. I can't believe this! Sikowitz paired me and Jade up for a challenge. We have to pretend to date for 6 months, so that we can get along better. Honestly, I don't think that is ever gonna happen. Jade hates me and I hate her as well. I just had to get through this year without any complications, but that won't be possible now"
Okay, so that wasn't a shock, I knew she was all pissed about the challenge, so I skipped to one month into the challenge:
"Jade kissed me! She freaking stole my first kiss! I can't believe she did that! But why did she? She knew I'd never kissed anyone, so she did it for some other screwed up reason. As much as I wanted to be so mad at her, I couldn't… I just think that my idea of a first kiss is way overrated; I guess it doesn't really exist. Also, for a first kiss, our kiss wasn't that bad. I didn't know what came over me then, but I kissed Jade back. I liked kissing Jade, and now that I'm not so mad, I actually want to maybe do it again, but I also don't"
I cried even more. Maybe we were in love now, but I ruined Tori's first kiss. I had to make it up to her somehow
"November 17th,
It's been a week since the incident where Jade kissed me. We we're sort of friends now, and she, for once seems to be okay with that. Tonight we went bowling and Jade and Cat were acting so weird, what's going on?"
Oh nothing, just me having a crisis because I was falling in love with you
"November 21th,
Last night I asked Jade to meet my parents as my girlfriend. It pretty well, and then when I was walking Jade to her car, we made out for a while, but she ran off. Today, I finally got the truth out of Cat; she and Jade had been talking about the challenge. I went to Jade's house. She was a hot mess, and that made me sad. She revealed to me, after a little effort, that she'd fallen for me in this fake dating assignment. And when she said that, I was positive that I too had fallen for her. Bad"
I closed the journal, put in back in its place and wiped my tear stained face. I was relieved to see that Vega had been as much as a mess as me those days when we were so freaking confused. We'd both fallen for our enemies, people whom we'd hated more than anything.
I learned two things by reading my girlfriend's journal. One, I was hopelessly in love with her. Two: I had to do something about Vega's worrying about not getting into Juilliard. And I knew just what to do.
I went back to bed, and looked lovingly at Tori. I brushed her hair behind her ear and kissed her softly. Once I pulled away, she opened her eyes slowly, adjusting to the light in the room.
"What was that for?"she said smiling
"I love you" I said smiling as well
"I love you too" she said locking her beautiful eyes on mine "But what was that for?"
"I love you, and I wanted to kiss you. So I did" I said kissing her one more time
Tori deepened the kiss and slipped her tongue in my mouth. I kissed her passionately, pulling her close to me, not getting enough. She slipped her hand under my shirt and held my waist. I almost moaned; I kissed her neck and left a hickey, to mark my territory.
We made out until we needed to pull apart for air. We were both breathing heavily, trying to catch our breaths and cool down.
"What time is it Jade?"
"It's 7 o'clock. We should get ready for school" I said peeking over Vega's shoulder to look at the alarm clock on her bedside table.
Tori went to the bathroom first to take a shower, so I used that time to put my plan in action.
Tori's POV
Since this morning when Jade woke me up in the sweetest way possible, it would seem that we'd be joined at the hip for the rest of the day, but the truth is, Jade blew me off as soon as we'd gotten to school, claiming to "have stuff to do take care of".
I attended my classes as usual, and eventually caught a glimpse of Jade between classes in the halls. At lunch, she was nowhere to be seen, and I wondered what she was doing that was so important that she couldn't even have lunch with me and our friends.
At the end of the day, after going home, doing all my homework, watching TV, eating popcorn and eating myself up over what Jade had been doing all day, I received a text from her.
"Meet me at midnight at the place where I first opened up to you, where you first saw me cry"
At first I had no clue where the hell she first opened up to me, or where I'd first seen her cry, but then I remembered that afternoon when Jade took me to her favorite place. The same afternoon when I'd told her I'd never kissed anyone and the first time she'd seen my cry.
I took a shower, and put on a white flowery dress and flats. At 11:45 p.m. I left my house and was off to meet Jade
Earlier that day…
Jade's POV
"Please Sikowitz, do this for me and I swear I will do anything you want" I said running after Sikowitz in the halls at lunchtime
"You don't mean that" the wacky teacher said sipping his coconut
"I do. Please do it" I pleaded
"Why should I? I don't know why you're asking me this" he said
"I don't need to have a reason" I spat at him
"But you do, if you want me to write a recommendation letter to Juilliard about Tori" he spat back
"We're friends now, Tori and I. The Challenge worked. Ya happy? Now please write the letter" I lied
"It's still such a big favor… I don't know" he teased me
"Okay fine! Your stupid challenge made me fall in love with Tori, then she fell for me too, we've been dating for real for a month now. We've been messing with you" I gave in
"That's what I wanted to hear. I'll write you the letter" he said smiling cheerfully
"What? You knew?" I screamed at him
"Of course I did. I have eyes everywhere" he said heading off
"Of course he did…" I mumbled to myself "Sikowitz!"I screamed after him "Send this with the letter"
I handed him a package and we walked in opposite directions. I went home to finish planning my surprise for Vega.
Tori's POV
At 11:57 p.m. I reached my destination and started walking to where I thought Jade might be.
When I started walking on sand, I knew I'd reached the beach. I walked a little further and saw a speckle of light to my right, and I walked towards it.
"I was beginning to think you weren't gonna show" I heard Jade's soothing voice
She'd arranged a beautiful picnic on the beach. There were torches all around us, lighting up the dark night.
"How could you even doubt it?" I asked wrapping my arms around her neck and looking deep into her eyes
We had a great dinner, and we discussed various subjects. Jade had prepared a lovely picnic. She made a PB&J sandwich for me and a turkey sandwich for her. She also got me a Pepsi and a Dr. Pepper for her. For dessert, she had prepared a delicious fruit salad.
"I know that you didn't want anything for your birthday, but I got you something" she said, reaching in her purse
She handed me a medium sized white envelope.
"Thank you Jade, you shouldn't have" I said taking the envelope
I opened up the envelope and there a letter inside of it. I wondered what it was. I took the paper out and read what was on the page:
"Dear Ms. Vega,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Juilliard School of Music…"
"Happy birthday Tori" Jade said next to me
My breath was caught in my throat. I couldn't process what was going on. The only words coming out of my mouth were gibberish
"How? When? Where? How did this happen?" I asked, trying to figure out if this was a dream or not
"I might've pulled some strings" she said smiling at me
"You did this? For me?" I asked surprised
"Yeah, I'd do anything for you" she said taking my hand and kissing it, leaving it on her lap
"I can't believe this! Thank you Jade!" I said happily crying and throwing myself on her
My plan backfired, and we ended up falling off the chair and in the sand. I landed on top of Jade.
"No one's ever done anything like this for me…"I said looking at her
"I just wanted to do something nice for you. After all, I did make your life hell for years" she said sadly
"Maybe you did, but that doesn't matter now. I love you Jade. I'll always love you. You might seem like a bad person to everyone else, but in my eyes, you're pretty damn nice Jade" I said kissing her softly
"But there is one condition if you wanna go to Juilliard…"she said breaking the kiss and sitting up, me still on her lap
"Anything" I said smiling at her
"Move in with me when senior year is over and can we live in New York together" she said seriously "I got accepted to Columbia"
"Are you serious?" I asked excitingly
"Do I look like I'm kidding Vega?" she chuckled
"Of course I'll move in with you" I said hugging her tight
We didn't go home that night. Of course we told our parents where we were and that we were safe, and all that. We stayed cuddled up together laying down on the blanket, staring at the stars, admiring the constellations, and we went to sleep when the sun was rising on the horizon. On that moment, we knew that everything was gonna be okay.
We'd survived the first couple of months of the challenge, even though we had some problems along the way. We'd fallen in love with each other and we'd both made each other happy. We were gonna move in together in New York. Our story was just beginning…
