AN: This is my first Victorious fanfiction. So please be honest.

For those of you who think I stole this idea from 's story, "A Change Will Do You Good," I did not. I already talked to her (at least I think she's a girl) about it and she said it's fine for me to post this. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the story and please leave a review.

A short, skinny, brunette girl stared intently at her reflection. She pulled her thin, brown, stringy hair into a sloppy low ponytail and pushed her thin framed glasses up the bridge of her nose. She closed her eyes and let out a heavy sigh. She was ready.

The girl hoisted her plain, navy blue backpack on her bony shoulder and walked out of the girls' restroom with as much confidence as she could muster. She scanned the crowded hallway filled with immature preteens and wannabe jocks in search of something. Or more accurately, someone.

Her dull brown eyes landed on her target and she trotted her way over to him and his friends. She stared at him. Watching how he ran his dark brown mane. How he flashed his perfect, straight smile at one of his friends in response to a, most likely, lame joke. A lump formed in the young girl's throat. She subtly cleared her throat as she hesitantly approached him.

"H-hi, Beck," she said, smiling timidly. The four boys stopped in the middle of their conversation and focused on the small brunette.

"Hey... Tori," Beck replied, awkwardly. He glanced over at his friends, who were staring at the girl with funny expressions, before looking back at her.

"Y-you played great at last night's game," Tori continued as she stared up at the hottest guy in eighth grade. "Best one yet."

"Thanks," Beck said, the compliment immediately boosting his ego. "Was there something you wanted?" Tori could feel the sweat forming on her brow as she felt everyone's intense stare. She gulped and looked down at her ratty, worn out converse.

"U-um. I-I was um wondering if...you would possibly like to go to the uh movies with me?" Tori stuttered, not looking up to meet Beck's eyes.

A loud guffaw echoed in the hallway and Tori's head snapped up to see Beck and all his friends bent over with laughter.

"Seriously, Tori?" Beck asked, amusement in his eyes. "Sorry to break it to you, sweetie. But you and I are never going to happen. Like ever." Tori could literally feel her heart break in half. Not letting anyone get the satisfaction, she quickly blinked away her tears.

"Why?" she pondered quietly.

"Why?" one of Beck's friends, a tall blond, spoke up. "Look at you. You're like the definition of ugly. You're basically a stick. You have no figure at all. Your hair reminds me of a wet mop, you have so many zits it looks like your face was stung by a hundreds of bees, and you're nerd. And face it, you're never going to get a boyfriend." Tori's broken heart completely shattered, leaving a feeling of emptiness inside her. Her eyes starting filling with tears and it wouldn't be long until the they leaked.

"Couldn't have said it better myself," Beck agreed, nodding to his friend in approval. Hearing enough, Tori turned on her heel and quickly walked away, not turning back. She forced her way through the bustling crowd, tears silently streaming down her face. Once she was a safe distance away from Beck and his friends, she sprinted into the girls' restroom and quickly locked herself in a stall, breaking down into full on sobs.

Tori's back rested against the back of the stall door and slid against it till she hit the floor. She covered her reddened face with her hands and rested her head against her knees.

The restroom door swung open and the sound of high pitched, feminine laughter echoed through the room. Tori's sobs immediately silenced as she listened in on the girl's conversation.

"Did you see that?" one girl snicker.

"I can't believe Vega would actually have the nerve to ask out Beck," another girl commented. Tori quickly got off the floor and sat down on the toilet, bringing her knees to her chest.

"I know right!"

"As if Beck would go out with a loser like her," the first girl said.

"I know. I mean just calling her ugly would be an insult to ugly people." Tori heard the three girls chuckle and a few tears ran down her cheek.

"Hey, Jade. Are you going to Andre's party on the last day of school?"

"Of course! If Andre's there then you know for a fact that Beck's there."

"Are you still trying to win him over?" Tori heard one ask. . Tori immediately recognized it as Cat Valentine from her history class.

"Of course," Jade replied. "Trust me, by the end of summer, Beck will be mine." Tori held her breath when she heard those words come out of the cold girl's mouth.

"Come on," one of the girls said. "Let's go see who got accepted into Hollywood Arts. I heard Mr. Rogers posted the list outside his office this morning."

Tori listened quietly as the three girl exited the restroom. As soon as it was safe, the sobs returned, harder than before. Tori was grateful that it was the last week of school. Her final week at Clevington Junior High. She wouldn't have to face her cruel, harsh classmates for over two months. Then, she could start her life fresh at Sherwood High School. And to make things better, only half of her class was going to to school with her. And Beck was, thankfully, not one of them. Tori knew that he, along with his best friend, Andre, Jade, and that perky girl, Caterina, were all accepted to that performing arts high school, Hollywood Arts. Tori was extremely happy that she wouldn't have to see any of them for possibly the rest of her life.

Tori hoped that one wish was going to come true. But deep down she knew it wouldn't, she was going to them again.

And she was going to be ready.

Please leave a review and tell me what you think. I'm not quite sure on couples yet. It will be Bade starting out while everyone else is mainly single, but that may change in the future. Tori will probably be single for a while.

Anyway, thanks for reading!
