Stay Strong

Everyone Is Weird

Beck had been begging his parents to let Jade stay with him, but they kept shutting him down. Cat begged her parents, but they didn't have the room or patience since they had to deal with Cat and her older brother.

Tori heard everyone talking back and forth at the lunch table. Jade was about to breakdown.. again. Cat was getting really upset. Beck was angry and yelling loud enough that other people could hear their conversation.

"You can stay with me." Tori finally said making them all fall silent. "My parents don't mind. I asked just in case Beck's parents wouldn't budge. I mean you'd have to live with me and Trina, but you wouldn't have to go back home or be sent away." Tori rambled out nervously.

She bit her lip waiting for Jade to say something.

Jade stared at Tori for a moment. "Fine." Tori blinked. "I mean thanks."

She gave Jade a small smile. "You're welcome. I can't promise Trina won't annoy you, but I can promise you won't have to deal with your parents."

Jade nodded. "I have ways to deal with Trina." She smirked evily.

Tori let out a nervous chuckle. "I haven't seen that look in awhile. It's both terrifying and comforting."

Jade looked confused. "My smirk is comforting. Since when?" She asked.

Tori sighed and looked down at her salad. "Well, um, ya know. Since you stopped using it. It's comforting to see it again, you're not completely gone."

Jade narrowed her eyes then she let a grin take over her face. "Thank you." She said taking it as a compliment which it kind of was in a way.

Beck put his arm around Jade and she raised her hand to intertwine their fingers. He kissed the side of her head. "Take care of her, Tor. If you don't I will kill you." Beck chuckled making everyone else chuckle, then his smile fell. "No, actually, I'm serious."

Jade rolled her eyes and scoffed. "I'll be fine and you couldn't hurt a fly."

Beck huffed in offense, but Jade just leaned in to kiss him. He kissed back.

"Dudes tryna eat here!" Andre said making them break apart. "Suck face when I don't have a delicious burrito."

Jade grabbed the burrito off his tray and squeezed the contents out of it, then she wiped her hands and went back to making out with Beck.

"I'ma start sitting elsewhere." Andre snapped. He looked down at his tray and groaned. "That's just food abuse."

Tori chuckled. "Chilli fries?" She pushed the fries she wasn't going to eat anyway over to her best friend.

"You're so good to me." Andre said taking some fries and popping them into his mouth. "Oh, mmmhm."

"Stop making weird noises." Cat said making a face. "I'm trying to eat."

"How come they can suck face right beside you but I can't love my fries."

Cat shrugged innocently. "I'm used to that." She pointing her thumb at Beck and Jade. "I don't like that." Then she pointed at Andre's hand grabbing more fries from Tori's tray. "It's weird. Not like Robbie weird. Like yucky weird." Cat complained.

"Hey." Robbie pouted.

"Like ya didn't know yo weird." Rex piped up making Robbie start yelling at him, then Cat scolded him.

"Everyone at this table is weird." Andre snapped putting another handful in his mouth. "Mmmhm."

Tori made a face. "Yeah, but you're being too weird right now." She got up and took her tray to the trashcan.

"Aw come on! I was eatin those!"

"Sorry. Shouldn't have been weird." Tori shrugged then walked off.

Andre grumbled then he got up to throw out his smashed burrito and go to class. "Smash my burrito then give me fries then say I'm weird and take the fries back. I don't think so." He muttered to himself as he walked.

Cat got up to go to her next class and Robbie got up to walk her.

Beck and Jade ignored the bell. He moved her onto his lap and she wrapped her hands around his neck.
