Spoiler Alert: None. Completely AU
Tori Vega nervously tapped her pencil against the table. She was so nervous. What would Jade say when she opened her locker and a note fluttered out? A note that had a poem from a secret admirer. From a secret admirer who was actually Tori. Would the girl crumple it up? Laugh? Smile? Roll her eyes? Read it outloud mockingly? Would she recognize Robbie's handwriting? Would she then trace it back to Tori?
Oh god. There she is. Sitting up straighter, Tori follwed Jade with her eyes. Watched as the girl opened up her locker, shoving some books inside. The paper with Tori's poem lay unnoticed on the floor.
Before she could stop herself, Tori got up and darted over. "This fell out of your locker!" she said louder then intended. Holding out the paper, Tori looked at Jade expectantly.
"Oh." Jade frowned. She took the paper slowly.
Tori shivered as their fingers brushed.
"Thank." Jade said. Then when Tori didn't move, Jade rolled her eyes. "You can go now."
"Right." Tori nodded. She still didn't move.
"What?" Jade snapped.
"Aren't you going to read it?" Tori didn't want Jade to just throw it away.
With another roll of her eyes, Jade read the poem. A faint pink spread over her cheeks.
"What's it say?" Tori asked brightly.
"Nothing!" Jade slammed her locker shut, hurrying off, pausing to throw the poem away in a nearby trashcan.
Feeling crushed, Tori sagged against a locker. She had hated it. All the hours Tori had spent on writing the poem that expressed everything she loved about Jade and she had hated it.

After recieving a scolding from her teacher, Tori slunk back to her seat. She couldn't help that her heart wasn't in acting today. How can you act like your in love when your heart is aching from a silent rejection?
"Psst." someone said from behind her.
Tori stared ahead, wondering what would happen if she took a whole bottle of nyquil.
"Psst." the person repeated, more insistently.
Or maybe if she dyed her hair black and dressed as a goth. Maybe that would get Jade's approval.
"Oh for the love of god!" Jade said loudly. "Will you turn around?"
The class fell silent and Tori slowly turned to face her.
"Yeah?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I secretly love you too." Jade said calmly.
Gasping as one, the class looked at Tori to see what she would say.
Swallowing thickly, Tori licked her suddenly dry lips. "Uh, what?"
"The poem," Jade said impatiently. "You told me you loved me."
"Poem?" Tori rasped.
"The poem you put in my locker."
"But you threw it away," Tori said with a frown.
Jade looked confused. "No I didn't. It's right here." She produced the paper from her pocket.
"I saw you," Tori insisted.
"I threw away my homework," Jade corrected. "Not your poem."
"How'd you know it was from me?" Tori asked, wishing the rest of the class would disapear.
"She beat it out of me," Robbie mumbled.
Jade laughed quietly, not even attempting to deny it.
Tori relished hearing the noise.
"I'm going to make a reservation at Olive Garden and you are going to be there. Okay?" Jade said only half as confident as she appeared.
Trying not to grin like a fool, Tori said she wouldn't miss it for the world.
