Victorious Preferences [COMPLETED]

Christmas Pt. 1

Happy Christmas everyone! Thus begins the something-part journey of how each main character and you celebrate Christmas (Hanukkah for Robbie). Enjoy!

André: you persuade André to get involved in a bake sale you're volunteering to run for a local charity. Problem is, he knows how to cook but not bake! You arrange it so at the weekend he comes over to your house and you teach him to bake a simple cake. Unfortunately, he can't even get that right when he switches the electric whisk on at the wrong time and the cake mix splatters everywhere in the kitchen including yourself and him! You look around agape, then look at André and can't help laughing at how splotches of vanilla batter have made him look like he has different coloured freckles all over his face. Still giggling you wipe some mix off his face and show him your thumb, and André laughs quietly at you whilst leaning in to kiss you, the cake batter sticking to your cheeks.

Cat: on 1st November after class Cat pulls you aside and asks if you want to come round after school for helping put up Christmas decorations. You ask why her family all put up Christmas decorations straight after Halloween and through Thanksgiving, and she stops pulling your arm outside and asks with her head to her side what Thanksgiving is. Before you can answer she pulls your arm again and you both walk to your car and you start up the engine wondering how she doesn't know about Thanksgiving.

Jade: in your songwriting class you're told to write a Christmas-themed song, and for once you're stumped. At lunch you're in a trance pondering what to write that hasn't been already written about the holiday when Jade taps you on the shoulder and takes your chips, then asks what's wrong. You explain about your recent assignment and she frowns in her trademark way and says she'll help you in a way that sounds like she doesn't care but you know she secretly does. After classes are over you two meet in a classroom and go over the theme. She asks what you think Christmas is about; and as you explain you swear you see Jade slowly lose her frown and straighten up and stare at you more intensely. You're just imagining it though... right? You finish your monologue and look properly at her - she's still looking at you oddly. You gently ask her if everything's okay, and like the click of a finger she snaps out of it and stares at you with anger, then tells you to go away then takes her stuff and storms out herself. You shout after her but don't get up, knowing it's useless to run after Jade when she's in a temper. What's wrong with her?

Tori: for her first Christmas at Hollywood Arts you find Tori handing out candy canes to everyone, and intrigued you go up to her and ask what she's doing. She explains desperately that she doesn't know if everyone likes her yet and so the best thing to do is try to spread Christmas cheer in order for people to like her. You sigh - after months of flirting she still doesn't realise that you like her, so you take the candy cane tray off her and hand it to Cat, telling Beck to watch the redhead with the sugar, and pull Tori into the utility closet. She asks why you pulled her in here but you cut her off by finally babbling it out that you like her and that's why she doesn't need anyone else to like her. Silence. Tori stares at you and nibbles her lip, visibly a mix of confused and nervous. You get it: you were a random person from one of her classes who barely talked to her; she probably didn't even know your name. You shuffle your feet as you look at her nervously, not seeing any reactions from her. You two stay there, frozen, opposite each other, until the bell rings and Tori takes it to spurt out an apology and rush out the closet, and you breathe out slowly. What do you do now?

Robbie: as December rolls around you notice that everywhere you look in Hollywood Arts there are Christmas decorations strung up and Christmas songs being sung - but nothing for Hanukkah. You ask Robbie, your local Jewish friend, why there isn't anything except Christmas advertised at the high school, and you're shocked when he replies that there are too little students of non-Christian faith to advertise anything other than Christmas. You then go straight to the secretary and ask to book a meeting with the school principal, and when you get in front of Helen Dubois you take a deep breath and plead your case for the faculty creating a census for each student regarding faiths and religious celebrations and then organising each celebration in different parts of the school so as not to clash with other religions. You walk out of there with your head held high, and after a few weeks an assembly is held with the principal announcing the start of a census for every student. After the assembly Robbie leaps at you and hugs you without thinking or even getting embarrassed, thanking you then skipping off to lunch with you watching proudly.

Beck: one day you go over to your boyfriend Beck's caravan in late November for a date, and gasp as you step inside and find the interior beautifully decorated with Christmas decorations. Beck smiles admiringly as he watches you follow the fairy lights attached to each corner of the room and marvel at the little trees scattered in various delightful places - next to the sink, on top of the toilet cistern, as the pencil holder on his desk next to his laptop. He can't contain his glee when you squeal at the way he's placed all his Christmas costumes on the door of his wardrobe and he suddenly tackles you and pulls you onto his bed, both of you laughing. You start kissing him and soon both your shirts are off and your hands are travelling down both your chests, and you're breathing heavily as he smiles his charming smile and kisses you and undoes the buttons on his jeans...

The preferences that I have left open ended (Jade, Tori) I will continue in Christmas Pt. 2! 🎅
Also, please tell me if there are any preferences from past chapters you would like me to elaborate on!
