*cough*

Jade walked over to Tori's side, the drivers side, of the car, leaning against the vehicle slightly and waiting for her girlfriend to get out of it. She had leaned her paler frame right against the part of the door that actually opened, watching whatever Tori was doing through the driver-side window. After a very quick conversation with the little demons on her shoulders-neither one of them angels-Jade decided to be impatient and leaned her head down more so Tori could see her face.

The face that Tori saw out of the corner of her eye was the exact face someone would make if they were very angry or upset, but didn't want to tell the person they loved because they loved them too much, so instead made a face. This particular face included furrowed brows, the most subtle pout Jade could pull off, and the most concentrated staring Tori had seen from her girlfriend in a long time. This list of Jade's stares included the bedroom stares, and so this was a very concentrated look.

It took a moment for Tori to finally look to her girlfriend fully, and it took a much smaller moment for the brunette to snort, almost laughing at the lost-puppy-but-somehow-grown-ass-adult-look. "Okay, okay, I'm hurrying," the Latina said, a light blush covering her cheeks as she realized just how accidentally goofy her girlfriend could be. 

"If that's hurrying, then I'd hate to see what you being slow looks like," Jade huffed, moving out of the way as Tori opened her car door, letting her out of her own vehicle. 

"Oh, Jade," Tori hummed, smoothly putting on her backpack and closing her car door behind her, "you've already felt it," she whispered, pressing a quick kiss to Jade's cheek and pressing her thumb against the lock button to her car keys, which made a very well-timed beep from the car. 

As Tori walked towards the school, Jade just stood there. Her feet refused to move, and she was almost convinced her feet had been Krazy-glued to the ground. She had this dazed look on her face, and the bottom in her was very quickly suplexed into the back of her brain as the 'Okay act normal' Jade took control again and forced her to follow Tori. There was no top Jade, or at least not that Jade herself has met yet.

By the time Jade managed to make her way into the school, Tori was already at her locker, talking to Cat casually as if the brunette didn't just make her girlfriend look like a complete idiot in front of absolutely nobody. Said girlfriend was kinda annoyed at that, and with narrowed eyes, she made a bee-line for said brunette. 

"-and that's how I managed to steal the worlds thinnest tennis racket," Cat said, smiling and playing with her own hair.

Tori just nodded, seeming to try and piece together the entire story before noticing Jade coming towards them. It was truly odd to see Jade walking around in her own sweatshirt, as it didn't exactly match what she usually wore. "You should wear blue more often," Tori hummed, watching as her girlfriend blushed slightly and even self-consciously played with one of the sleeve cuffs. 

"Well, uh...hm," Jade paused, wondering how to approach this one. She got complimented by Tori all the time, usually quick to thank her and compliment her back, but she didn't know how she felt about this one. She liked the sweatshirt, but Cat was here, but it was Cat. It was all so complicated. She decided to change the subject. "Cat, that sounds like a really interesting story," she said, moving next to Tori and hopefully slyly looping one of her arms around her taller girlfriends arm. Jade even played slightly with a hair-tie that was around her girlfriends wrist, the physical contact letting Tori know she appreciated the compliment.

"Oh, it was!" Cat said, then continued to go into a two sentence long story about how she stole the worlds thinnest tennis racket, most of the second sentence being what Jade already overheard. 

Jade smiled to herself and nodded along to Cat's nonsense, really just focusing on Tori at the moment. They weren't really nervous about their relationship around Cat, mostly because she was actually rather good at keeping it a secret, and she was incredibly accepting of them. "Hey, Cat, what did you decide to do for the presentation for Sikowitz's class?" Jade asked, leaning against the lockers behind them and bringing Tori to lean with her.

Cat smiled, watching Tori and Jade interact. It was fun to see Jade's guard lowered how it was with Tori, especially with Jade herself initiating a healthy amount of the contact that they both needed. "I'm gonna be talking about the mental affects of being an actor, and if playing so many roles can be detrimental to somebodies self-being," she said, smiling at a friend that had walked by her and said hi. "What are you guys doing?"

"Changes that movie adaptations of musicals that are made, and how they're often really bad. I'm using the Cats movie and the Les Miserables movie as talking points," Jade was quick to answer, noticeably more relaxed with every second she was in contact with her girlfriend. 

Both sets of eyes looked to Tori, who was absolutely relishing the physical touch between her and Jade. "Oh! Uh, the presentation," Tori stuttered, getting her wits about her rather quickly. "I'm actually doing it on musicals as well! Me and Jade were brainstorming together, and I've decided to look into how important physical care of the throat and body is to somebodies voice. I'm using the Les Miserables movie as a talking point as well, since there are some really dangerous practices that the actors used in that movie that nobody is really talking about," Tori said, smiling to herself still. This smile was due to the subject of her presentation as well as the fact that Jade had just rested her head against the Latina's shoulder.

The three continued on with their conversation, talking about the previous days presentations and the fact that they all had to present later in the current day. It wasn't until Trina's very audible voice rang through the halls that the calm mood was broken. "What do you mean you can't finish the presentation?!" Her voice rang out, her steps approaching the trio quickly. Jade almost instinctively pulled away from Tori, the girls sister being their biggest obstacle at the moment. Tori wasn't exactly 'out' yet, and while Jade never cared for labels, the goth girl respected Tori's want to wait to tell everyone. So, Jade simply crossed her arms and took a full step away from Tori, instead turning and playing with the upper lip of the face that was on the locker to the right of Tori's. "You said you'd cover the works cited page and four of the other slides! You didn't even do the works cited!" She said loudly, walking past the trio of females and easily ignoring them all, exclusively... well all of them.

Jade blinked, her head popping up to turn and look at Trina's fleeting form before turning to look at Cat and Tori. "Wasn't that due like... last week?"

"Yes," Tori sighed, rubbing her hands over her face. "I think they got a medical excuse or something because her partner broke their leg," she said, shrugging.

Jade nodded slowly, wondering if that was even true. Regardless, it was obvious that Trina would be the last one to present. The bell rang at the very same time it did every day to signal everyone to start heading to their classes, and Cat, Tori, and Jade all headed towards Sikowitz's class. They met up with Beck, Andre, and Robbie on the way, Rex with Robbie of course. Robbie and Rex worked together for their presentation, and Andre as well as them had already presented. 

The crew sat down in their usual seats, waiting for their teacher to enter the class however he saw fit. Today, it happened to be through one of the windows, holding his usual coconut. "Who needs to present?!" He asked quickly, stumbling as he attempted to fully get himself into the classroom. About half of the students raised their hands, and they were called up one by one to present 8-10 minutes on any of their chosen topics, as long as it related to visual or audio arts. Many people chose musicals, other choosing children's movies that had music in it, with one student delving into the psychological science of ASMR. 

When the bell rang again, signaling the end of class, everyone dispersed. Sikowitz called Jade to stay back, and promptly asked who she was and what she did with the real Jade, then asking how she managed to overpower Jade and her famous scissors. The only way Sikowitz actually believed that it was indeed Jade was a very happy Tori wrapping her arms around her girlfriends waist from behind, flashing their teacher a little smirk with a raised brow. The man then exclaimed that he didn't want to know anymore, turning and simply walking backstage. 

"You really do look nice in blue, Jade," Tori hummed, tugging the taller girl and happily nuzzling into her shoulder. This earned her a small hum, and Tori understood that Jade was a bit out of her comfort zone with her clothing, but she still wanted to compliment her. "I think it brings out your eyes really well," she whispered, kissing gently at Jade's neck, her chin moving over the hood of the sweatshirt and her hands slipping under the puffy fabric. It took Tori a second to remember that this was all Jade was wearing on her torso, other than a bra. 

It took Jade a much shorter second to remember that she was wearing almost nothing, mainly because she could feel Tori's cold fingers brushing against her warm abdomen. "Tori," Jade whisper-hummed, her eyes closing as she felt the top of her girlfriends head press against the side of her own, causing her to tilt her head to the side to expose more of her own neck. "Tori," Jade pressed a bit more, her hands grabbing at Tori's wrists. The taller girl turned and hung her arms over Tori's shoulders, pulling the brunette closer to her, her lips inches away from her nose. "Not here, babe," she whispered, pressing a quick kiss to Tori's nose.

Tori could practically hear the smirk that was displayed on Jade's lips, her hands grabbing at the front of her own sweatshirt, which her girlfriend was now wearing rather comfortably. "So... closet?" Tori asked hopefully, earning a small laugh from Jade.

"Fine, to the closet," she huffed light-heartedly, pulling away from the hug to grab at Tori's hand and almost drag her to that ever-popular janitor closet. It was only a few seconds before Tori was out front, pulling Jade to the closet happily. Tori was the one to open the door, but Jade was the first one in, intimidating what looked like a very happy couple out of the preoccupied room, freeing it for the duo.

"See? Perfect timing," Tori said with a smile, closing the door behind them and hugging around Jade's waist again, her hands impatiently slipping under the sweatshirt and against the small of Jade's back.

"I feel like I have to agree," Jade said with a happy hum, a very happy groan almost escaping her throat. Almost. The noise did escape eventually, but that was when Tori had gently scraped her nails down the paler girls back. 

Tori smiled at the sounds from her girlfriend, leaning up to press a happy kiss against Jade's lips, her hands moving to her girlfriends sides, letting her own body press against Jade's. 

Both girls perked up and panicked slightly when they heard the doorknob rattling, usually a warning from whoever was coming in next to get decent before the door was opened. Tori was the first to move, her hands slipping out of the sweatshirt and her body pulling away from Jade's. Well, Jade was the second to move, quickly grabbing Tori's waist and pulling her behind the door, holding the Latina's back against her own front. One of her hands covered Tori's mouth, the other wrapped around her abdomen. Jade leaned down to kiss gently at Tori's shoulder as the door was opened, feeling her partners hands around each of her wrists, either holding them there or just making sure she wasn't imagining the situation. 

Some voices passed by the closet door, a rustling coming from inside the closet itself. Whoever was in here was looking for something, and it was making Jade's plan to frustrate Tori very possible. After a few more kisses and some little nips to Tori's shoulder, Jade had to press her hand ever more firmly against her mouth to keep whatever little sounds she was making in. She hoped they wouldn't be discovered, but this was just too good.
