Scene 1: (Red-haired, 15 year old Jude Harrison sat in music class, waiting for her name to be called for her music assignment)
(This music assignment was 1/2 of her final grade. It was a creative music assignment, Jude had written her own song)
Teacher: " Next is… Jude Harrison."
(Jude walked to the front of the class, with her guitar.)
Teacher: " What is your creative music piece Miss Harrison?"
Jude: " I wrote a song, It's called… "I'm In Love With My Guitar."
(Eden Taylor laughed)
Teacher: " Miss Taylor, that's enough. Go ahead Jude."
I've been trying too hard
I've been spinning around
Got people chasing me down
Gotta find a way back to my world somehow, somehow
Right now I wanna get lost inside of a song
Where there's no right or wrong
In my room all alone is where I belong
My life is mine once I'm behind the door
[Chorus]
Whenever we're together no one's a star
I can pour it all out right from the heart
If it's up to me, we'll never be apart
I'm in love with my guitar
I grab a handful of strings
I've been dying to play
It carries me far away
I don't need to explain when I've got nothing to say, oh yeah
If I break down it's all the sound I make
[Chorus]
Whenever we're together no one's a star
I can pour it all out right from the heart
If it's up to me, we'll never be apart
I'm in love with my guitar, oh yeah
Keeper of my secrets
Part of all my dreams
Somehow we're connected
From a whisper to a scream
[Chorus]
Whenever we're together no one's a star
I can pour it all out right from the heart
If it's up to me, we'll never be apart
Cause I'm in love with my guitar
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love with my guitar
I'm in love with my guitar

(Only a few people clapped)
Teacher: " That was wonderful Jude, excellent job."
Jude: " Thanks."
(Jude and her best friend Jamie go to lunch)
Jamie: " Your song was great Jude, the kids in that class have no idea what real talent is."
Jude: " Thanks Jamie."
Jamie: " Some day when you blow up, the kids at this school are going to be humming your songs down the hallway, while your on tour somewhere."
(Jude couldn't help but smile)
Jude: " Thanks Jamie."
Jamie: " Speaking of blowing up, did you hear?"
(Not finishing his sentence, assuming she knew what he was talking about)
Jude: " Hear what?"
Jamie: " The Instant Star contest is going to be held here."
Jude: " Cool…"
Jamie: " Aren't you going to do it?"
Jude: " Jamie, I basically just embarrassed myself, in front of half the class, I don't need to embarrass myself in front of music professionals."
Jamie: " Kids in this school know nothing, Jude, your amazing. You know how to sing, and play the guitar, you already write your own music. You're doing it, I'm coming over to your house tonight, and we are going to write your winning song."
Jude: " Ok…" (deciding not to fight him)
Jude: "What have I got to loss, besides my dignity."
(Jude and Jamie head to the bulletin board to sign up)
(Eden sees Jude signing up)
Eden: " Your signing up Jude?"
Jude: " Yeah, I don't see why not?"
Eden: " The instant star scouts are looking for real talent, not I'm In Love With My Guitar." (she says mockingly)
Jude: " I see you've signed up, afraid of a little competition Eden?"
Eden: " You… please."
Jude: " May the best performer win."
