Outgoth the Goth

Chapter 6 – A close shave.

No One's POV

After she stopped laughing, Jade looked at the "Art of War" book for a few moments, before tossing it on a stack of Vogue magazines that her mother had on a nearby table.

"Whatever."

While she didn't think she needed a book, Jade did realize she needed to relax. So, she ordered herself a pizza, turned off her phone and decided to have a horror movie marathon on the 70" big screen TV in the living room.

She didn't usually get to watch them on the big screen as either her father was watching sports or her mother didn't like horror movies. Actually, her mother on one occasion described them as boring and unrealistic. Jade never knew what that meant, nor did she bother to ask.

Jade sat down with her pizza and watched George Romero's dead trilogy, Night of the living dead, Dawn of the dead and Day of the dead. Plus, as an added bonus she watched his 1973 film, "The Crazies."

By the end of the night, she had managed to relax and enjoy her movies in solitude. As far as Tori or Wednesday she actually tried not to think of it. All she knew is that blowing her top and acting like a major asshat was not the way to go.

As she entered the school the next day she mused. "But I like blowing my top, it's a natural state of being for me."

But then she spotted Tori alone by her locker and decided to take a small step and swallow a bit of her pride. Jade would be the last person to swallow her pride, but it was something about the sight of that Latina that just did things to her.

Jade walked up and tapped Tori on the shoulder.

Startled, Tori turned around and looked as if she didn't know what to say. "Oh hi Jade. Do you need something?"

Not used to apologizing or being humble, Jade found herself both shifting and looking at her feet. "I acted a bit rudely yesterday morning....uhh...I'm sorry."

After a moment's silence, Tori responded sharply. "Beck put you up to this didn't he?"

That snapped Jade out of her nervousness. "NO!"

Tori crossed her arms looking skeptical. "Then why are you apologizing."

Part of Jade wanted to explode, but she restrained herself. "I'm only human."

Suddenly seeing Wednesday, looking as dour as ever, walk up. Jade looked over to Wednesday and muttered. "At least some of us are human."

Not waiting for a response, Jade turned and walked off.

Tori watched Jade walk off for a moment, then turned to Wednesday.

"HI!"

"Was she bothering you?"

Tori kissed Wednesday on the cheek, "No, just playing one of her head games. Par for the course. Thank you again for dinner last night. Medieval times was really fun, all the sword fights and the joust."

"Yes." Deadpanned Wednesday. "But the knights didn't actually fight to the death. That ruined my appetite, how am I supposed to possibly eat if someone's life isn't actually in danger."

Tori was not sure how to respond, "Sorry."

"Don't apologize, it's not your fault. Plus, in the big fight the green knight was obviously the inferior one. He could barely hold a sword; my mother could beat him with both arms tied behind her back. He won't be coming back. I'm seeing to that."
