Jade's POV
"Can they shut up already? Geez, nobody cares." She rolled her eyes with her crossed arms, talking to herself in her mind.

Listening to what Sikowitz had to say, it was quite
heartwarming. Not that I was going to admit that but whatever. He went on with one of his speeches, focusing about knowing us and watching us grow into young men and woman, very impressed and hopeful for what we all have stored in our futures. I smiled, clapping along to everyone else's clapping, chuckling softly as I did so.

Becks POV
Getting up, going over to Sikowitz as I shook his hand and quickly hugged him. Over the years, he has been one of my favorite teachers. He wasn't like any other basic educator. Which like I said, easy is boring.

Before class ended, Sikowtiz dismissed the classmates who weren't, Jade, Beck, Tori, Andre, Robbie and Cat. Once the rest left the classroom, he went on about a performance they all might enjoy. He went on and explained how he was one to overhear the principle talking to one of the teachers in video production when they came to an agreement to have a show, focused on one of the students here in Hollywood Arts.

The six of them, all looking at each other with surprised yet competitive expressions. This will definitely be pretty wild. All of them were talented, all of them were quite competitive. This could get nasty.

"If we just write a script that pleases the principle, we perform it?" Jade asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes." Sikowitz responded. "But! Don't go around turning everything in and causing chaos! Please..." He added.

"Interesting." Jade replied, looking to Beck as he played with her hand in his lap.

"Yay! I love plays!" Cat announced all happily as she clapped her hands and smiled widely.

Cat's POV
This will be so fun! I'll definitely be making my play based on the Elephant who learned to love. But the elephant is going to be pink...Yes, definitely!

"Do you know if we could work in pairs?" Tori asked Sikowitz as she glanced over at Andre with a smile.

"I don't know." Sikowtiz said to Tori.

Tori's POV
I really do hope we can work in pairs. Andre and I working together instead of against each other would be so much easier. There would also be a high chance of us winning.

The bell finally rang, that meant most of them would go into different directions all up until lunch. The group all standing up, grabbing their belongings and rushing out the door.

"So do you guys have any ideas?" Tori asked the five of them.

"I'm not your friend." Jade replied, walking ahead of them as she went to her next block.

"I think mine will be all based on pirates." Robbie said confidently.

Beck raised an eyebrow as the awkward silence appeared. Tori looked over at Cat which seemed to be a little frightened.

"Cat? What's wrong?" Tori asked.

"I don't like the way he plays pirates." Cat told her, walking away immediately after.

"How do you play pirates?" Andre asked Robbie.

"I don't want to talk about it." Robbie said to him as he looked down when Rex made some offensive joke.

Robbie left the group and so there were now three. They all made small talk with one another before the late bell rang and that's when they all parted.

Everyone went to their classes all up until their last class they had until lunch time. When that bell rang, everyone met up at Tori's locker. Soon after, all six of them wondered outside to go find a table before they all went to buy food.

"One burrito please." Tori told the food truck cook. Robbie and Andre behind her as they also too wanted burrito's.

Beck and Jade approached them together.

"Hey guys." Beck greeted while Jade rolled her eyes and went to go sit down.

"Hey, you're ordering a burrito too?" Tori asked.

"Sure am." Beck replied.

"Cool." Tori smiled and told them to add another burrito.

Soon everyone all sat down after they grabbed their burrito's and paid. When everyone did so, all of them gossiped about their classes and ignored Cat whenever she'd say something weird aimed at her brother.

"So, cards at my house tonight?" Tori asked them all, suggesting the idea as well.

"Sure," Beck said.

"Yay! I love playing cards." Cat added.

"Whatever." Jade announced.

"We'll be there." Robbie said, meaning him and Rex.

"Yeah, okay." Andre said lastly.

"Cool." Tori chuckled. Seeming pretty excited over it.
