SUMMARY

It's pretty AU. Tommy is a solo artist and Jude is just a regular college student. She's on spring break with her friends in the Bahamas. Tommy is 24 and Jude is 19. Jude and her friends (Patsy, Jaime, Speed, Wally and Kyle) are staying smack in the middle of a week of MTV tapings for their spring break specials (think back a couple of years when they had good performers and semi-interesting specials). Jude meets Tommy during one of his performances and while there is definite attractions at first site, she's not sure if she can trust his feelings or intentions.

CHAPTER 1

She stepped out of the van and into the warm sun so happy to be on vacation. She loved school but needed a break from the heavy workload this last semester had held for her. She grabbed her bags and followed her friends into the hotel. Jaime and Speed went to check them in while Wally and Kyle grabbed the rest of the bags. Jude and Patsy went to sit in the lobby.

"Man, I am so happy to be out for a week." Jude sighed as she sunk lower into her chair.

"Preachin' to the choir blondie." Patsy replied as Jude chuckled. "How long does it take them to check in? I mean I am so ready to hit the beach bars."

Jude smiled and rolled her eyes. She sat up a little straighter as a cute surfer looking boy with a clipboard in hand and a walkie talkie on his belt approached.

"Wow. You are gorgeous." He said as he sat on the table in front of Jude. He eyed her like a piece of meat, and it was making Jude more than a little uncomfortable.

"Um, thanks. I think." Jude replied as she looked over to Patsy for help. Patsy was biting her lip hard to try and keep from laughing out loud at the situation. Jude elbowed Patsy as subtly as possible as she started to stand. "We gotta go." Jude grabbed Patsy's arm and started to drag her towards the boys.

"Wow wait." The man called desperately as he ran to stand in front of the girls. "I think you got the wrong idea. My name is Kevin." He said as he pulled a card out from his pocket. "I'm a casting agent for MTV and we are looking for college girls to show off summer swimsuit lines during our concert series. I was hoping you'd be interested." He smiled and handed Jude a flier. "Sorry to come off as a creep. But if you're interested the list of concerts are on the flier and we'll pay you a $100 for each suit you model."

Patsy grabbed Jude's arm and pulled her a couple steps away. "You gotta do it Blondie, think about having all that extra cash."

Thinking it over for a second, Jude decided it might not be a bad idea. Turning back to Kevin with a confident smile she gave him her answer. "I'm in."

"Great." Kevin replied. As he handed her some paperwork. "Just fill this out and bring it to the first show you want to work. I just need one more thing." He said suggestively.

"Uh, yeah?" Jude asked hesitantly.

"Your name."

Jude let out a breath she didn't know she'd been holding. "Jude, Jude Harrison." She answered reaching out to shake his hand.

"Well Jude, it was nice to meet you. Can't wait to see you in your suit." He replied as he walked out of the lobby.

Jude started walking with Patsy to meet up with the boys. All she could wonder as they got in the elevator was "what did I just get myself into?"

AN: Hey guys. I've had this fic in my head for a long, long time. Although I just realized it would work for Tommy and Jude.

Some of you might have read my first fic "College Life" which was written around this time last year. I had to abandon that due to some writer's block and way to much school work. I'm a sophomore in college on break now and I plan to write a lot before I go back to school sunday. I can't promise how often I update after that but if you guys like this, I have the majority of it in my head and will update as often as I can.

So please Read and Review
