Hey guys! I'm posting this sooner than I expected, but I had some down time, so I thought I would go ahead and at least post the first chapter to this story. And FYI, I've already written this whole story and the sequel to this story, so I know how it all ends. I'll be posting them when I have time and when I want to. And if I know you guys like this. Review and let me know! :)

Okay, here it is! Enjoy! :)

Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own Victorious. Wish I did though. :(

Tori's POV

"Have you gained weight?"

Those four words were like a knife to my chest. I felt an immense amount of pain in my stomach, already feeling the words cutting deep into me. I didn't know it at the time, but it's those four words that would literally almost kill me just three months later. A little secret about me: I'm very sensitive when people say something mean to me or about me, except for Jade. I've gotten used to her.

"What?" I asked, my voice going an octave higher than normal.

The girl that I hardly ever talked to shrugged nonchalantly and then said, "I don't know, it's just that when you first came to the school last year, you were super thin, but it seems like you've gotten bigger since then."

My heart dropped to my feet. "I've…I've gotten bigger?" I asked shakily. "But…I always watch what I eat and…I exercise whenever I can." I've always had a thin figure. Why would this girl, who I barely know, ask me if I've gained weight?

"Hmm," she said and nodded towards my hand. I looked at my right hand and saw that I was holding a donut. I'd already taken a few bites out of it. "Obviously you're not watching what you eat today."

I immediately turned around and chunked the donut in the trashcan. I looked back at that girl and gave her a death glare, one that would make Jade proud. "I am now." I mumbled and walked around her, intentionally bumping into her shoulder.

I walked over to my locker and started to unload my bag. I couldn't get those girl's words out of my head.

Have you gained weight?

Have I gained weight? Obviously I haven't gained that much weight or my clothes wouldn't be fitting me. I looked down at my skinny jeans and they were a tight fit, but that's how they always were. I moved my leg around a little to test at how tight they were and, by doing that, they seemed tighter than normal. Was that girl right then?

"Hey, Tor, what's up?"

I turned around and saw Andre walking up to me. I softly smiled and said, "Not much," I closed my locker and crossed my arms. "Um…if I ask you a really important question, will you give me your honest answer?"

"Of course," he said. "I would never lie to you."

I sighed shakily. "Do you think that…that I've…gained weight?"

He looked at me like I was insane. "You? Gained weight? Uh, I don't think so. You're a thin girl. Always have been and probably always will be."

Relief washed over me as I said, "You positive?"

"Yes, Tori," he said and looked me up and down. "You look to be the same size as you did on your first day here."

"Okay, good," I said.

"Why do you ask?" he asked. "I didn't think you've ever worried about your weight before."

"I haven't, but…this girl asked me if I've gained weight and…I don't know, it just got me thinking."

His eyes suddenly got very angry and his fists clenched up as if he wanted to punch something. "Someone asked you if you've gained weight?" I nodded. "Who?"

I shrugged. "I don't know; I can't remember her name."

He nodded. "Okay, well…if she talks to you again, tell her to come talk to me, because I have a few things to discuss with her." He said the words "things" a little louder than the other words.

I smiled widely and then leaned forward and gave him a big hug. "Thank you so much, Andre." I whispered.

"For what?" he asked as he hugged me back.

"For always being there," I sighed shakily. "And for being my best friend,"

"You know I'll always be there for you, girl."

We hugged for another moment, but then the bell rang and we pulled apart. I sighed and said, "Let's go to class."

"Fun, fun," he said sarcastically.

I giggled and we walked to our first class together. I took a few deep breathes, trying to calm myself down from those girl's words.

So…what do you guys think so far? Good? Bad? Remember, review and let me know! :)
