One Step Closer

2 *Count On Me*

He needs her when I'm the one who needs him...

-SIKOWITZ CLASS-

Beck Oliver's Point of View.

Standing in front of the class. This looks like your kindergarten nightmare but now it looks like mine. Tori just landed. She's at her chair currently talking with Andre. Hoping that if I start speaking, she'll turn her eyes onto mine. 

I cleared my throat. "Better start this activity sooner. Just picked a song for a girl in the crowd named Tori Marie Vega." I smiled.

She looked stunned.

"Tori, this song is for you. Since it's enduring your feelings through a song...." I continued and start strumming my guitar through the tone of 'If Eyes Could Speak'.

Standing close to me close enough

To reach perfect time to tell her

But I can't even put the words together

Bevelizing eyes getting in my disguise

Can't you see me hiding?

What am I afraid of a finding?

I know what I'm thinking

But the words won't come out

Tori, if only you know what my heart produce. It produce a sound that goes 'dub' 'dub' 'dub' just for you. Only you. 

If eyes could speak

One look would say everything

About the way you smile

The way you laugh, the way you dress

The way your beauty leaves me breathless

If eyes could speak

I wouldn't have to talk

If only looks could speak, you'll know what I feel. You'll know the countless times I've been breathless about your beauty. You would have known the real girl that makes my heart beat.

If eyes could speak, would you be here laying in my arms. I strum the last note and the room was filled with claps and cheers. 

"Uhm--Tori. I'm sorry for being a jerk. Snobbing you and stuff. Will you forgive me?" I let out my arms gesturing for a big 'ol hug. 

She stood up smiling. "Apology accepted. Come here big fella." I walk towards her as we share a big hug. Talk about a perfect moment. 

"Boo. Is that all?" Jade rolled her eyes. 

We let go off the hug. If I could only hug her forever, I wouldn't let go. 

"One more question..." I look into her eyes. Truly, deeply, madly.

She looked at me confused. "One more? What is it?" She raised an eyebrow.

I feel my mouth turned dry. "Ah-Uh-Will you-Ah-tell me what color your hair is?" I pop out a big grin. Fail is printed all over my head.

She laughs with the whole class. "Indeed, you're back Beck. Let's all give a big round of applause to Beck Oliver." She announced through the whole room.

I smiled but deep down I felt bad. Why can't  I ask her such a simple question? My tongue never got tied when I ask other girls out. 

Tori Vega's Point Of View.

He actually apologized. Means so much to me. Better friends than not, ayt? One tiny little problem, he's song never relates to the apologizing zone, it's more of admitting your feelings zone. Why would he sang such song in front of me? In case, he likes me. Nothing is impossible but the words 'Beck likes me' proved it wrong. He will never like me. 

Also, he's been weary after the performance. Something is bothering him. I just know it. 

"Ah.-Beck" I break the cold silence. We are standing in front of my locker. "Anything bothering you? You seemed distracted?" I added. 

He looked at me surprised. "Did you say something?" 

"That's what I'm pointing out. What's bothering you?" I pinch his cheeks. Electricity tingles my hand straight to my heart.

He laughed awkwardly. "Girls. Obviously. Can I share something?" he asks.

I cleared my throat and prepares my heart. "Yup. Spill!" 

"I like this girl but it's hard admitting it. We've from a messy path and I can't seem to ask her out rooting from where we've been." He looked into my eyes genuinely. 

Whoever this girl is, she's lucky. I've been here in front of her but he doesn't notice me but whoever this girl he likes must be one of a kind.

I manage to form a smile. "Follow your heart Beck. You got to chase her. Maybe one day, you'll regret losing her. Don't worry, I'll help you big fella." Spilling those words out stabs my heart into million pieces. 

"Thanks. It help a lot." He kissed my forehead. I just died. "See you later. Need to attend detention." He walks away and slowly he's figure is gone like the wind. 

I need to help him get his girl. I might be brokenhearted but at least he's happy. Need to find that girl. My mind just know who she is---no other than---Jade West. She perfectly fits the description. 

Our hearts makes us do stupid things. Stupid things that leaves us crying.
