Alright so this story is basically completely AU...I got the idea from the movie "It's a boy girl thing" so it'll loosely be based around that (it's a freaky friday like type thing), for those of you who haven't seen or heard of the movie you could look a preview of it up on Youtube if you wish. If I remember correctly the movie is Rated R mostly for the language and brief nudity, however from what I've planned out the content of this story won't be at the level, it's more so PG-13 than anything. I've also put together a trailer for this story if you'd like to check that out as well on Youtube, my user name on there is the same as it is on here. The Prologue is beneath the characters...hope you like!
Characters:
Jude Harrison– a 17 [going on 18] year old social outcast in her senior year of High School who is passionately pursuing her music dreams and has high hopes of attending Berklee College of Music after graduating…she just has to be accepted in.
Sadie Harrison– age 19, College Freshman. Jude's slightly older sister who is also her polar opposite. While Jude is practically never thought of and rests quietly in the background, Sadie is the must-be-center-of-attention overachiever.
Jamie Andrews – age 17, senior, one of Jude's best friends since childhood who has equally been deemed a social outcast.
Kat Bennett– age 17, senior, also Jude's best friend and the two have basically been inseparable since birth.
Tommy Quincy– age 18, senior, typical stubborn/cocky jock that doesn't have much to offer outside of his athletic abilities and his parent's wealth; his fate solely rests on being scouted and offered a scholarship into any College that will take him. But is there more to him beneath his hardened image?
Kwest Taylor– age 18, senior, Tommy's best friend and teammate. The two have known each other since childhood, and always have each other's backs.
Alyssa – age 18, senior, Tommy's super popular and equally bitchy girlfriend who has nothing more to offer outside of her looks, popularity and wealth.
Tristan – age 17, senior, a jock who straddles the line of popularity and normality. Though he generally does socialize with Tommy and his "crew," he doesn't shut out those who don't make the cut. However, his motives aren't always commendable.

Prologue:
The girl and boy next door
For those who didn't know her personally or vaguely know of her, from afar Jude Harrison seemed to have it all; the successful parents, the beautiful older sister who pleased mommy and daddy on a regular basis by any means necessary and a seemingly nice house in a good neighborhood. When in reality, she had nothing at all. Her mother, once self-absorbed in her career was now an unemployed raging alcoholic, and her father—well, he seemed more like a stranger to her these days more than anything, having successfully adopted her mother's role of self-absorbency. Although unlike her mother he did somehow still manage to make time for her now and then.
Then there was Sadie, who Jude was convinced was only put on this planet to torment her; but lucky for Jude, her over-achieving bitch of a sister had graduated from Carson Hill a month ago, and although she was going to be staying in Canada to attend the University, she had moved out of the house and into the dormitory; no longer able to make her life a living hell. And with her two best friends by her side, nothing could ruin her senior year.
Got money and you know it
The loud blast of music caused Jude's head to whip up from the math book she had been glancing down at upon her desk for the last hour, momentarily breaking her concentration.
Take it out your pocket and show it
She huffed out a loud sigh as the music grew louder, "Just ignore it," she mumbled to herself through tight lips before lowering her head back to her book.
Across the way her neighbors voice began to ring out loudly along with the music, "Throw it, this a way…thata way," and she could have sworn the music got louder.
Slamming her book shut Jude pushed up away from her desk and stomped over to her window and angrily pushed it open further.
"Do you mind!" she screamed out indignantly between their two houses. She watched as he went from prancing around his room and tossing money around like an idiot to pausing and turning to face her through his window.
He dropped the remainder of the money in his hands onto the floor and pushed his window up further so that he could rebuttal, "Actually, yes I do mind…you're kind of interrupting my Tommy time," Jude scoffed and crossed her arms, "Well your 'Tommy time'," she made air quotes and continued, "is affecting my study time. Could you please turn the noise down a notch or two…better yet off completely," she quipped.
"It's freaking summer Harrison; you shouldn't be studying at all. It's not my fault you failed math," he shot back. Jude's mouth fell open. How did he even know that?
"I did not fail…per say…" she paused, giving Tommy an opportunity to cut her off, "You got eight percent…as your final grade…I'm just saying," Jude sunk her teeth into her bottom lip as her arms uncrossed from over her chest, "That's beside the point Quincy…could you just be considerate of your neighbors just this once…I promise it won't kill you," she said with a roll of her eyes.
Tommy crossed his arms over his naked, toned chest—which through her anger Jude hadn't even noticed until then, "And what exactly is in it for me Harrison," Tommy quizzed as he raised a brow suggestively while nodding towards her breasts, "Ugh you are impossible you pervert!" she shouted before then flipping him off and slamming her window down until it clicked loudly.
Turning her back to the window she pulled the string to lower the blinds and tried her hardest to shut her neighbor out so she could go back to studying.
No, nothing would ruin her senior year.
Expect maybe Tommy Quincy.
