( Jude sat on the stairs at her home listening to music, while her parents fought in the kitchen)
(Jude's older sister Sadie walked in )
Sadie: " They're at it again?"
Jude: " What?" (Jude asked, taking out her head phones)
Sadie: " How bad are they today?"
Jude: " I'd say they're at round 4, since I've been home… but I mean who's counting?"
Victoria: " JUDE, SADIE , TIME FOR DINNER!." (their mother shouted form the kitchen)
Sadie: " Well, then, I guess the fight's over."
(Jude and Sadie go into the dinning room)
(After some awkward silence)
Victoria: " So, girls… how was school?"
Sadie: " I failed my history test."
Victoria: " Oh Sadie…"
Sadie: " I'll pass the next one, mom, no big deal."
Jude: " What is this… the fifth history test you've failed?"
(Sadie gives Jude the evil eyes)
Stuart: " So what about you Jude, how was your day?"
Jude: " I preformed my song in class today, the teacher liked it."
Stuart: " That's great."
Jude: " Speaking of performing, I signed up for the Instant Star contest."
Sadie: " Isn't Eden Taylor signing up for that too?"
Jude: " So what?"
Sadie: " She's only had singing lessons since she was eight."
Jude: " I've been playing the guitar since I was ten."
Sadie: " All I'm saying is you've got some competition."
Jude: " Thanks for the confidence Sadie."
Stuart: " What do you get if you win?"
Jude: " A three album contract, with some record label."
Victoria: " Do you think you have an actual chance of winning?"
Jude: " I'm not sure."
Victoria: " I just wouldn't want you to get your hopes up."
Jude: " Thanks Mom." (rather annoyed)
(the door bell rings)
Jude: " May I be excused, that's Jamie, we're going to work on my song for the contest."
Victoria: " Go ahead."
(Jude and Jamie work on a song in Jude's room)
Jamie: " I think it's done."
Jude: " Me too, this song's about me and my best friend."
(Jamie smiles at her)
(Jude picks up her guitar and plays a verse)
" At least I got my trusted friend
We're on the road alone again
I guess we're tried of giving in…"
