Tori sighed as she stepped off the bus to walk into her school. It was early Monday morning it was also in the fall so the air had a chilling bite to it which made her shiver. The thought of entering the school made the chills multiply. She looked around scanning the area to making it sure that it was safe. She reached up and pushed her glasses up her nose before lowering her gaze to the ground as she took several steps towards the door she found herself falling to the earth the books she had been carrying scattered around the ground and pain shooting across her palm and her long brown hair went flying over the top of her head to the front of her face. She heard several snickers and chuckle arise from the nearby students.

Tori reached up to brush the hair out of her eyes to see what the cause of her fall was. As she looked around she spotted two cheerleaders who laughing much harder than the other students that were standing around watching the scene. The two girls were the queens of Sherwood High School. The two girls name was Nikki Thomson and Cindy Dean. She knew exactly what happened. They tripped her like they did almost everyday. Sometimes they do meaner stunt then this, but that was usually at lunch or in between classes.

Tori glared at them in return "What was that for?" She asked angrily as her palm was now burning from scraping the pavement. She shook her hand slowly trying to ease the pain.

"That was for getting of the bus," Nikki said leaning down with a mean smile plastered across her pug looking face.

"I didn't even do anything to you," Tori said defending herself.

"Yeah you do. By living its offensive," Nikki retorted icily as she walked by two entered the school and kicked her books across the side walk as she disappeared in the crowd. Tori sighed as got up and collected her thing. She looked at her palm and looked like she would be using more band-aid from the stash in her locker that she kept for occasions like this. After picking up her things from the ground she made it safely in the door without attracting unwanted attention and she had the same luck on the way to her locker. She sighed in relief as she juggled all her books on her knee as she tried with much diffcultly to open her locker. When she got it open she laughed nervously and proud that she come through victoriously in her stuggle.

"That beat my own personal record," she smiled as she placed the heavy books in her locker but keeping the ones the ones that she needed for her first class which was her favorite Math.

"Look! The nerd is talking to herself again!" A guy named Chase Leeman said with one hand cupped around his mouth to make his voice louder and the other was pointed at her. The unexpected to voice made Tori jump and to scream in surprise and she ended up slamming injured palm in the metal of the lockers. The hall way erupted into insane laughter, Tori turned her head down not to show any of her tears as she slammed her locked her shut and hurried to her class to get away from the humiliating scene.

Once she was inside the classroom she made her way to her seat. There she said down and took of her classes and cried in to her hands. She cried for a few minute as she tried to calm herself down and get ready for the day's lessons. As she got out her math homework to go over before she turned it , the deep voice of the principle came over the intercom.

"Attention all students and faculty, please be advise that the whole student body will be meeting in the gym in about thirty minutes to discuss a very important matter. When the bell rings the students will come straight to the gym anyone one who strays away with a week's worth of detention on the weekends. Thank you and I hope everyone has a good day!" He said as he signed off on the intercom.

The teacher Miss Emily came in with a huff. " Good morning everyone," She said with a kind smile. " I normally would start off with Monday mornings with a discussion, but since there has a been a change I will call the roll and take up your home work assignments," She told her students as she sat down at her desk and opened her grade book and started calling out names.

After a few minutes of marking out the students that were absent that day, Miss Emily walked about the room taking up the homework and helping the students who had a question or did not understand something.

Tori looked at her watch and sighed. So much for the safety of her class she would be getting trampled within a few minutes time. Victoria Vega or Tori her parents and sisters called her was very unpopular here at her school. Her sister Trinia Vega didn't not attend this school as she attended a school called Hollywood Arts a school for talented students, but Tori was not interested in things like that she just liked to be normal and do normal things. Her parents were a cop who was her dad and a lawyer who is her mom. They lived in a pretty big house that over looked the city, but no one knew this because no one has ever been over to Tori's house, but she wanted people to like her for her and not for her things. Tori's a very pretty girl, shy and kind. She has no confidence in herself at all and things at school didn't help her self-esteem at all.

The bell rang and everyone began to pile out of the room. Tori waited for everyone to leave before she left the room herself. On the way to the gym she nervously bit on her finger nails trying to prepare herself for any sudden attacks that might come her way.

Once she entered the gym she spotted a vacant seat and made her way towards it. When she sat down she felt her cell phone vibrate. She lifted up to get it out of her butt pocket and looked at the screen it was her sister Trinia texting her :

Trinia: Hey Sis, I have news for you!

Tori texted back.

Tori: What new?

Trinia: It is too much for a text, but I'll tell you tonight.

As Tori went to text back she fell into the floor and her cell phone went across under the chair. Tori looked up to see that someone had pushed her out of the seat to make room for their friend. She sighed as she crawled to find her phone. After several minute of battling feet and students she finally got her pink pearphone back and went to find another seat.

Tori finally found a seat in the middle and hoped that no one would mess with her. She already had two injuries from today and it was only 8:30. Tori was playing with her phone when the principle Mr. Campbell and another guy she did not know come to stand in the center.

"Everyone quiet down please. I have some very important announcements for Sherwood high.," Mr. Campbell said and held his hand out. "Next to me is Mr. Eikner the principle of Hollywood Arts. We have announcement that will have huge affect the student bodies of our schools. Charlie?" He said turning the microphone over to the other man.

"I am going to cut it straight to the chase," Mr. Eikner said scanning the crowd. "The announcement is we are going to be combining the schools Hollywood Arts and Sherwood High starting in two days."

There was a silence as the words sank in to their mind before one stood up. "What are you saying?"

"They schools are combining with each other for the time being. As the result of the fire of the Hollywood Arts Building they will be coming here for the school year until their building is rebuilt."

Tori felt herself blink as words sank into herself. She had heard about the fire from Trinia and the news. A science project went badly wrong and the building went up in flames rather quickly. The students are quite devastated that their beloved school has to be rebuilt. They were to be discussing where to send their students for the time being and apparently that school was going to be where Tori Vega was attending.

"BOOO!" A guy said standing to her left. "Why here?"

"Well this was the fastest we could come up with," Mr. Eikner said answering the young guy's question. Mr. Campbell took the microphone back.

"You are all to make them feel welcomed," The gray haired principle pressed. "As doing so we will be taking in a tradition that takes place at Hollywood Arts. All students must customize their lockers and be creative and the top five most well thought and creative lockers will get ten extra points to which ever subject that choose. Also at the end of the year there will be a big talent show and whoever is to win will receive a trip to San Francisco for a week as well as a spot to be a student at Hollywood Art. "He explained as he looked back. "Is that everything?"

"No that about covers it." Mr. Eikner smiled. "We can't thank you enough for taking us in when we need it the most. Your efforts will forever be recognized at Hollywood Art."

The two men shook hands as they parted and dismissed the gym. The students realized that their principle was firm about this and there were no if and buts about it. The gym was filled with a constant chatter about the news of the Hollywood Art students coming to their school.

Tori got out her phone and texted her sister back.

Tori: I think I know what you want to talk about.

She hit send.

Trinia answered almost immediately to Tori's.

Trinia: Isn't exciting? We'll be together again.

Tori texted back her response.

Tori: Yeah, but it is also sad too. You really loved that school.

Trinia: Yeah

Tori smiled at the text at the thought of her sister coming to school here for a while and it would be nice to have someone nice to talk about. Trinia didn't know about the bullying, in fact her parents didn't even know. Tori decided to put her phone away before she was spotted with and given a detention and made her way back to her math class.

After the session in the gym the day passed fairly quickly for Tori and before she knew it, she was at her locker getting the books for her homework. She was standing at her locker cleaning a smudge of her glass when she felt her phone vibrate and she got it out. It was Trinia.

Trinia: Hey girl, I am waiting for you out side.

Tori did a victory dance in her mind about the fact of not having to ride that stupid smelly bus. She quickly got the rest of her things as she turned around to see the evil brats heading her way. She groaned knowing that they were coming for her and the stopped in front of her.

"Hey Tori," Cindy said while she was chewing on gum and twirling her long hair around her pointer finger. Nikki just smirked as if she was forming a plan in her puny little brain.

"Hey," Tori responded slowly before cocking an eyebrow up looking at the two bimbos in front her.

"What you doing?" Nikki asked.

"Leaving," Tori said stating the obvious.

"I see," Nikki said looking up and down Tori's body. Tori felt her body coil from those eyes, and she began to feel uncomfortable.

"What are you doing?" Tori asked the girl in return.

"Just taking in your ugliness," Nikki stated with a snort. "I mean how do your parents put up with you? I am sure they are so embarrassed by you."

Tori felt the anger take over her body and tried to make her way around the girl, but they blocked her way.

"Aww, did I offend the nerd?" Nikki asked as if she was sorry in a fake voice.

"No, I just want to get away from you." Tori said honestly.

"We are not that bad." Cindy said in an airy gasp.

"Just let me go," Tori pleaded as she knew that Trinia was waiting for her in the parking lot.

"That would be no fun." Nikki said as she placed one of her skinny arms around the brunette Latina.

"It would be fun for me," Tori said shaking Nikki's unwanted arm off her body and stepped in front of her. She finally felt the courage to just leave the girls and she left but not before she felt bony fingers clench around her brown strands of hairs pull back making pain sear across her scalp.

"Ow!" Tori gasped painfully.

"Listen bitch, I will not have you attitude towards me." Nikki said to her. "Your day just worse tomorrow so just be prepared." She said as she let go of Tori's hair roughly making her crash in to nearby students. Tori looked up at the girls.

"Look you are where you should be with the dirt," Nikki laugh and Cindy joined and they took this opportunity to kick her in both her shins making her gasp in pain once again and grabbed her legs to rub the pain away. Nikki then took her back pack and unzipped it then turned it upside down to empty its containments on to the floor after this she took Cindy by the arm and they left as they got bored with their human toy.

Tori sighed and her legs were throbbing as she gathered up her things from the floor and back into her bag. She stood up and kept her head down as she made a beeline for Trinia's car. Outside she scanned the parking lot for a red convertible which was parked in front of the car. She slowly walk and limbed slight from the abuse in the hallway. Tori forced herself to smile as she got in to the car and sighed in relief as she sat down in to the soft leather seats of the car.

"Oh that feels so good," Tori spoke as she was in heaven.

"Hi to you too," Trinia said warmly.

"Sorry its been a long day." Tori admitted softly as she took her glasses off to rub her temples.

"Tell me about it," Trinia said as she looked in the rearview mirror as she corrected her lip gloss on her lip. "Let's go to the mall I need to pick out an outfit for my date tonight with Jordan and I need to look good."

The mall sounded nice and relaxing and Tori nodded as she could use the relaxing time to get over the day that she just had.

"Let's go I could go for a slushy and a soft pretzel with cheese." Tori said as she placed her glass back on and leaned her head back against the headrest as her sister started that car and drove off for the mall.

This is my first Victorious fanfic and it is an AU with a twist. I am leaning toward Beck and Tori as a couple, but I don't know yet, but it is leaning towards that in my mind.

This is just the introduction chapter and I will introduce more characters in the next chapter. Please tell me what you think about!
