Victorious Preferences [COMPLETED]

5K!!!!!

Oh my God 5K reads! You guys are rad! When I started Victorious Preferences I didn't even know if these would make sense as I'd only watched the show a couple times before then, but thank you to everyone who reads and enjoys and votes on and comments on this book! This book in particular helps me get into the habit of writing more, so if more people suggest things to me or read my other books thank you and such a plus! Anyways, enough rambling about me, onto my rambling about the characters, of which today we are talking about EYES! Don't ask me why - if you're a writer you should know that writers almost never have any clue why they're focusing on one specific thing.

André: the most interesting thing about André's eyes aren't his actual eyes, but what's around them. Mainly laughter lines: even though you two aren't old enough to have lines yet your fiance has masses of fine laughter lines. They fold into and touch each other slightly whenever he laughs with or at you, because you're so funny that he seems to anybody else to totally overreact - screwing his eyes up really tight, hitting somebody near him lightly, repeating the best parts of what you just said wheezing. It makes you feel over the moon whenever André laughs because of you, and whenever you're close enough to see his laughter lines you feel elated to know that they're there because you're a constant light in your fiance's life.

Jade: Jade's eyes aren't telling of her personality - her eye makeup is. Every day she comes into school she has the sharpest and longest cat-eye you have seen on anybody, and it never smudges and is astonishingly straight with no going out the lines. To you this tells more about your friend than other things: this tells you that she takes painstaking time doing her makeup; that she has a commitment to her art and her passion; and that she has a killer style sense.

Beck: you have been hanging out with Beck only a couple months when you are paired up in screenacting class for eye focus, which involves the both of you staring at each other's eyes in the same place until the teacher says stop to learn how to steady your focus in front of cameras. You think you're doing well when out of your peripheral vision you think you see on Beck's eyelashes... brown mascara? You don't say anything in class but afterwards at lunch you sit down next to him, turn to him and peer at his eyes - to his confusion and discomfort. You ask him outright if he ever uses makeup, and after a while and his realisation that you know anyway he admits that, yes, he does sometimes use eye makeup to enhance his features even more. To his surprise you commend him and admire how subtle he has made it - seriously, the way he has found the shade of brown mascara closest to a natural lash colour is excellent - and you even ask if he can give you any tips next time you have a chance to get into the SFX room.

Tori: whenever you go round Tori's for whatever she privately wears her glasses, especially when writing or reading or concentrating, and one day you notice how quick her eyes dart across the page behind her glasses. She reads and writes a lot better in glasses than contact, and it makes you wonder why she doesn't let anybody in public see her in glasses. When you leave you ask her, and she replies that she gets nervous about people seeing her in glasses because the stereotype is people are instantly uglier in glasses. Astonished, you're quick to assure her that glasses don't change anything about anybody's image unless they believe it themselves. She bites her lip and says she'll think about it, and you drive home dismissing it thinking that she won't anyway. But while Tori lies in bed reading, she looks at herself in the mirror with glasses and wonders if it would be so bad if people were to see her without contacts...

Robbie: his glasses make them look bigger, but Robbie's eyes really are something else. Most significant, to you, are his lashes: they're the longest lashes you've ever seen on a guy, fanning out to give the illusion of a 50s model. His curls sometimes catch in them behind his glasses and gives the effect of him looking younger, which is captivating to you as so many people comment on Robbie's appearance negatively while he's here looking like a freaking cherub.

Cat: you know a lot about Cat's eyes as each day she wakes you up to help her put makeup on them. As she asks for different palette colours you slowly note different hues in her eyes than you first saw: sure the main colour is brown, but they also hold lightning thin strokes of dull green that widely circle her pupil; from her pupil outwards, instead of where others' eye colours get paler Cat's gets darker, giving her an interesting contrast that surprises you and makes you wonder why you hadn't noticed it before.

Thank you for reading my work, and here's to 5K more! 🥂
