Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN VICTORIOUS! SOMEBODY ELSE DOES

Tori's POV

Honestly, you'd think that after 3 years of high school would be enough for me to get over the first day of school, but you see, I don't go to a normal school. I go to Hollywood Arts, and trust me when I say that it's a school full of talented people. Singers, dancers, actors, writers, musicians and even ventriloquists. And maybe there are a few exceptions, like my sister Trina, cause NOBODY knows how she got in in the first place.

Truthfully, it's hard to enjoy such an amazing school, when there's a 24/7, full-time, bitch at our school: Jade West. I swear that if she wasn't at Hollywood Arts, a lot of kid's lives would be happier, including mine. But I can't deny the fact that she is crazy ass talented as a singer/actress/dancer/writer, and also, she IS drop dead gorgeous no doubt about that, not that I'd ever admit it anyways.

Her ex-boyfriend, Beck Oliver is also a very good actor, and he's so hot that mostly every girl in our school has a crush on him, but he's now dating one of my best friends Cat Valentine. She is a bit weird at times, always saying some odd comments about her brother, but she's REALLY talented and very pretty. André Harris is my other best friend. He's an amazing actor/singer/writer/songwriter/dancer/ musician and he's also one of the most talented people at our school seeing as he can play every single instrument, and also, he's a kid prodigy. He went to a special school for talented children, and that's why basically, he's the one with the most experience out of my group of 6 close friends. Well, seven if you count Rex, Robbie Shapiro's annoying little puppet that always makes nasty, weird comments on everything and everyone, especially girls. Northridge girls.

I sit at the breakfast table just thinking about my life. I could be the luckiest girl in the world. I had the opportunity to be discovered as an artist, and now I was a senior at HA, having only started in sophomore year, and that may be the reason why I'm so nervous for the first day of school. But, I shake those feeling out of my head because this year, I decided that I'm not taking any crap from Jade, and I was determined to get a boyfriend, since I was a 17 year old girl (with needs might I add), and most of all, I really want to be accepted at Juilliard School Of Music in New York. They saw my performance at the Big Semester Showcase my sister was supposed to go instead of me, and they said that if I kept it up and my grades were at the least a B+ average, I'd actually have a shot of getting a scholarship!

But unfortunately, I knew that it was a one in a million chance that I got in because I had to have a B+ average at the least, which I wasn't too worried about, and an excellent behavior for me to get in, and that I was very worried about. I had gotten in trouble a few times at school because of one particular person: Jade West. She was always haunting me in my dreams and in real life. She made me do stuff that she knew I'd regret later, she'd got me in detention and she even accidentally, "helped" me on my finals last year, but when I realized she was once again trying to fuck my grades up, I actually studied on my own and got the highest score in my grade, but of course she got a close second.

That's the main reason I decided I wasn't going to take any crap from her, and I was gonna stay away from her, even though she was one of my "friends", so it was almost impossible not to run into her. So I opted for staying away from her as much as possible, and I was now focusing on my career, and nothing was stopping me this year.

Unfortunately, I was shaken out of my thoughts by Trina's off tune singing. She paused for a second at the top of the stairs, and they stopped her awful screeching to only yell at me to hurry the fuck up so I wouldn't make her late for work, because she was working in an internship to stalk some big producers and I had at least a good 45 minutes before classes even begun, but I knew better than to argue with her so I finished my cereal and did as I was told. I really gotta get a license, or else I'm gonna be stuck with Trina driving me around for the rest of my life.

We got to school about 10 minutes after, so I walked to a coffee shop next to the Asphalt Café and ordered what I always ordered in the morning, half milk, half coffee with two sugar plumps and a dash of honey and then I headed for my locker. As soon I as approached, I realized that the school was mostly deserted so I started singing my favorite song to the top of my lungs as I decided to organize my lockers once more.

Here I am
Once again
Feeling lost
But now and then
I breathe it in
To let it go

I sang as I put some books on the top shelf

And you don't know where you are now
Or what it would come to
If only somebody could hear

I continued as I took out some old Post-It! Notes from last year. I closed my locker and pressed, for what felt like the first time, the button on the far low right of my locker. And once again, the words MAKE IT SHINE shined once again. Satisfied with my locker, I sat down at the wall where my locker was, with my eyes closed as I continued the song

You don't have to be afraid
To put your dream in action
You're never gonna fade
You'll be the main attraction
Not a fantasy
Just remember me
When it turns out right
Cause you know that if you live in your imagination
Tomorrow you'll be everybody's fascination
In my victory
Just remember me
When I make it sh-

I stopped as I heard some clear their throat next to me. I looked forward to see a familiar pair of black combat boots and I knew I had to brace myself for what was coming. My first day back at school already ruined.
