100. Writer's Choice

It was the first day of middle school, and Cat was excited. No more being stuck in the same room all day with the same people; she was going to meet a lot of new people – and make new friends – this year.

She skipped into her first period and immediately scanned the room for an empty seat. Most of the chairs were already filled, but there was one near the back that was vacant so she headed for that one.

As she plopped down into the seat, the person in the chair next to hers glanced up, and Cat's breath caught in her throat.

A pair of amazing green eyes stared at her, as if wondering who in their right mind would sit next to her. Her brown hair was loose around her shoulders, and her booted feet were propped up on the desk in front of her. She studied Cat carefully, eyebrows drawn together, and Cat did the same. It didn't take her long to come to a conclusion.

This girl was the most beautiful person she'd ever seen in her life.

The girl didn't look like she planned to say anything, so Cat took it upon herself to force words out of her throat that didn't want to work anymore.

"Hi." The girl raised an eyebrow. "I'm Cat Valentine. Who are you?"

It was silent for a moment, the beautiful stranger glancing her over again, as if deciding whether she was worthy to know her name.

"Jade West," she finally said grudgingly after a minute.

When Cat smiled at her and made to say something else, Jade pointedly turned her head away. But Cat wasn't fazed by her rudeness; in fact, she was intrigued. She'd never met anyone like Jade before, and the fact that she was breathtaking to look at wasn't helping any. As such, she was determined to become this girl's friend even if it killed her.

"What are you thinking about so hard, Valentine?"

Cat blinked and realized Jade was looking at her, curiosity evident in her eyes and only her eyes. Her expression was still devoid of any emotion.

With a bright smile, Cat replied with no hesitation at all, "You're going to be my friend."

For an achingly long minute, Jade just stared at her, expression even blanker than before. She tilted her head to the side, evidently thinking hard about something.

Just as Cat was beginning to become worried she was never going to respond, Jade nodded and turned back to the front of the room.

Cat giggled, and as she settled straight in her seat with a satisfied – and lovestruck, she realized much later – smile on her face, she missed the brief glance Jade threw at her, a hidden smile tugging at her lips.

Wow, this took much longer to complete than I originally expected. I blame the brief hiatus I was forced to take while school was stabbing me repeatedly with a toothpick. (Those things hurt, shut up.)

Anyway, thanks for sticking around for this long despite my school woes, and I really hope you enjoyed reading this. I can tell some of you definitely did by your reviews. I usually don't reply to any unless there's a question, but know that I enjoy reading each and every one of them and they put a smile on my face. I don't press for reviews because I don't leave them myself, but they are definitely appreciated.

In case you were wondering, I do in fact have something else in the works. It's not Victorious, but Glee. It's an AU retelling of the storyline that centers on the Faberry friendship/relationship dynamic, but I can't write Glee without Brittana and Kurt also. Of course, there are a lot of episodes, so it's going to take a while to finish this monster, but I'm going to try! (I have a really annoying tendency to get bored with a story and never finish it. I'm trying to work past it.) So if you like Glee, let me know if you'd want to read it!

Thanks again! I love you all!
