Chapter 1 - 2 months earlier.

"Harrison my office now" My boss Darius screamed as soon as I stepped into my cubicle causing me to spill my morning coffee all over my new top.

"Damn it." I bellowed as I pulled my top off of my burnt skin.

I'm surprised the idiot knows my name seeing as I've been here for 3 weeks and all he called me was newbie or Harris. And each time I corrected him he would say 'what ever go get me my coffee.'

Like I'm some idiotic intern I mean I have a masters degree in Journalism from Carleton University for christ sakes. I'm not some poor excuse for a person who dropped out of high school and have been living off of my parents for the past 8 years.

Anyway I took off my jacket and changed into my 'in case of emergency' top and walked slowly into his office as I sipped the rest of my delicious coffee.

"Jodie sit down I have something for you."

I sighed angrily as I sat down in the seat place in front of his desk.

"For the millionth time Mr. Mills my name is Jude Harrison."

"Like I care.. Anyway I have a story for you to cover."

Immediately my ears perked up and a smile grew on my face.

"Really Mr. Mills." I asked excitedly

"Calm down Jodie I only chose you because you look the youngest out of all the female reporters here."

"It's Jude." I muttered.

"It's going to be an undercover assignment and you will be in this for at least 2 months so try not to back out." he explained.

My smile became bigger and I could tell my blue eyes were sparkling in excitement.

"So what is this assignment about." I couldn't help but question. The suspense was literally killing me.

This is where a smile as big as the sun spread across Darius's lips as He got up from his seat and walked over to me.

"Ahh. That's the best part. You'll be reliving your high school years my sweet Jude."

Almost instantly my emotions changed and I was now in fear.

"Re-reliving my high school ye-years." I stuttered

"Yes you will be going undercover to figure out what's going on in today's catholic high schools. It's called Cardinal Newman Catholic Secondary School and you are required to wear uniform so if I were you I'd hurry up and enroll in the spring semester before it's too late." he smirked

Catholic school, uniform, spring semester.

I tried to wrap my mind around all these words but nothing helped. If I didn't do this assignment he'll find someone else who would and if I backed out now the fucking idiot will never figure out my name and will always refer to me as the rookie intern named Jodie Harris.

No what ever happened in my past is exactly that in my past. All my hurtful and scarring memories are going to have to stay buried.

"I'll take the job Mr. Mills. Thank you for the opportunity."

"Your welcome. You will have to choose one of your colleagues to pretend to be your mother and sign you up for school. Oh and by the way we took the liberty of getting you some things your going to need. Such as an fake birth certificate, a fake social security number, and a fake drivers license. The only thing that remains the same is your name."

I looked at all the information Darius handed me and read over it carefully.

My name: Jude Amelia Harrison.

Amelia what kind of middle name is that.. Thank god Judith Elizabeth sounds better than this crap.

My date of birth. November 12, 1989.

I can really pull of being 17 I mean being a 17 year old in 2007 could not possibly be that hard.. Can it?

My parents Mother: Victoria Harrison. Father: Stuart Harrison (Deceased).

I'll have you know my father is very much alive and living in Montreal.

My drivers license is pretty much the same the only difference is my birthday and my original hair color.

Here they have blonde but in all reality its cherry red.

"Ok Darius. Is that all." I asked.

All I wanted to do was get out of this office and enroll in this hell hole before I back out.

"No That's it. Oh yeah when you do find your mother. Show me who she is. I would really like to meet her." he said in a sarcastic voice that made me want to knock the living hell out of him.

"Yes Mr Mills right away."

I got up and left his office. Muttering every curse I could think of on the way out.

I'm pretty sure he heard some of them too because occasionally I said one a little too loud.

I sat in my cubicle and started to think.

who could I possibly get to pass off as my mother.

And as soon as I thought that my closest friend in that damn place came running up to me congratulating me on getting my first story.

"Oh Jude this is great your first story." Martha screamed. Her southern accent boomed through the office.

"Martha its really no big deal I mean all I'm doing is pretending to be 17 again how hard could it be."

Martha said nothing but smiled. Right then and there I knew this assignment was a mistake.

"Hey Martha could you pretend to be my mom and come with me to enroll in this school?"

"Sure sweety I'll just go get my purse."

She could possibly pass off as my mom because she is in her early 50's with light blonde and grey hair and plus she is also my skin tone.

Martha disappeared out of my cubicle and returned 10 minutes later with her jacket and purse in her hand.

"Shall we." she asked extending her elbow towards me.

"We shall." I laughed as I looped my arm in with hers.

A half an hour later I was in Martha's car sitting in the passenger side nervously bitting my nails. That was a nasty little habit I picked up my real freshman year in high school.

"You ready Darlin'." Martha asked with her thick southern accent.

"As ready as I'll ever be."

I walked into the building amazed at the size of it.

As soon as we walked in there was a big sign on a door that read 'Main Office'.

I took a deep deep breath and slowly let it out as me and Martha walked into the office.

"Hello. I'm here to register my daughter for the spring term." Martha told an elderly woman behind the desk.

"Ahh your lucky miss we only have 5 spots open left. Here you go please have a seat and fill out all the necessary paper work. And return it to me once your done."

The lady looked at me and offered a polite smile as she looked me up and down.

It's a good thing I put my hair into two pig tails. That hair style always made me look younger.

I kindly returned the smile and sat down next to my 'mother'.

15 minutes later we were filling out the last page of my registration package when I first saw him.

He was about 5' 11" with the prettiest blue eyes I have ever seen. He was sporting a pair of black dress pants with a dark grey shirt and a tie loosely around his neck. With the first two buttons on his shirt open revealing a white tank top. He walked into the office and quietly spoke to the lady at the desk.

After a few more minutes we finished the paper work and handed it to the lady while the guy checked his mail box.

"Oh Mr. Quincy." The lady called as Mr. Quincy asked yes while still reading his mail. "I would like you to meet your new home room and music student Jude Harrison."

He slowly turned around and locked eyes with mine. Then he smiled. Oh god was that the cutest smile I've ever seen.

I suddenly felt butterflies in my stomach as I walked over to him and stretched out my hand.

"Pleasure to meet you Mr. Quincy." I smiled.

"Likewise Ms. Harrison." and that was it. Our hands touched and the current that went through my body was electrifying.

I knew he felt it too because we both pulled our hands away at the same time.

"I'll see you in class tomorrow Jude." He told me as he walked out the office.

"Bye Mr. Quincy." I whispered while I walked back over towards Martha.

"Ms. Harrison here is your schedule. You'll of course start tomorrow. And you can go to any uniform store and purchase the outfit. Here is what is required of the uniform and here is the dress code."

"Thank you." We said together as we walked out of the office and went towards the parking lot.

"This is going to be so much harder than I thought."

I told Martha as we got to her car and drove off.

A/N: I hoped you guys liked this chapter. And like I said before this is sort of based on the movie but there are going to be a lot of things that are different so.. PLZ don't comment me talking about the movie took place at a public school. That I know. I made it a catholic school so it can be a little more interesting.
