This is another Juderman fic. The idea kinda popped in my head one night so I kinda took the ball and ran with it. This chapter was really long, and it seemed to be never ending, so I cut half of it out and it's in another chapter, still being written. I'm not done with Heart Doesn't Fit yet, that will be over in a few more chapters. So here's something to satiate your Juderman hunger. :)
Jude was glad to be home. She just spent her whole summer in the US, checking out different states. School was starting in a few days and she had missed her friends.
"Mom, Dad, I'm going next door to Jamie's!" Jude called out.
"Alright, are you staying over?" her mom asked.
"Probably. If I do I'll be sure to come back and tell you," Jude said.
"Alright sweetie. Have fun!" her mom said. Jude stepped outside and enjoyed the cool Toronto air. If there was one thing she hated about her summer, it was the heat.
"Hello Jude, I haven't seen you all summer," Nana said.
"Hey Nana. I've been gone all summer. But now I'm back. Is Jamie here?" Jude asked.
"Yes, he and Vincent are in his room," Nana said, letting Jude inside. Jude walked upstairs, trying to figure out who Vincent is.
"Guess whose back in town!" Jude said as she walked into Jamie's room.
"Jude!" Jamie exclaimed. He got up and hugged her.
"Wow, how are you?" he asked. Jude didn't answer him. She was too busy looking at the hott guy sitting on his bed.
"Jude?" Jamie asked.
"I think you scared her," the guy said. Jude shook her head and answered Jamie.
"I'm, great. Wow, I missed you so much," Jude said.
"Aren't you gonna introduce me to your girlfriend?" the guy asked.
"I'm not his girlfriend. I'm Jude, I live next door," Jude said, extending her hand.
"I'm Spiederman. I live, I guess next door to you. I moved here over the summer," he said, shaking her hand.
"I thought Nana said your friend Vincent was up here with you," Jude said.
"Vincent Spiederman. I'm not a big fan of my first name," Spiederman said.
"Oh. Nice, so um, what's been up this summer?" Jude asked. She hadn't talked to anyone, all summer.
"Kat," Spiederman said, causing him and Jamie to laugh.
"What?" Jude asked. She dreaded this – being out of the loop.
"Ever since he moved here, Kat's been like, obsessed with him," Jamie said.
"It's pretty scary, actually," Spiederman said.
"Really? That doesn't seem like Kat at all," Jude said.
"Well, I moved here and she was here the day that I moved and invited me over to Jamie's. Somehow, this ended in her getting my cell, and her calling me, and reading my away messages to find out where I am so she could meet up with me, and yeah. It's really creepy; you're not like that, are you?" Spiederman asked.
"Jude's not like that. She's one of the few girls who don't act differently when she's in the presence of guys," Jamie said.
"Yeah, those girls make me wanna kick them in the face. That's crazy about Kat though. Did she like, not have anything to do all summer or something?" Jude asked.
"I guess not. My summer almost sucked, if Spiederman hadn't moved over here. He's come over everyday," Jamie said.
"Oh, so I'll be seeing you, like everyday then," Jude said.
"I guess so," Spiederman said, smirking.
"Cool, then, I guess. So will Nana have a problem with me sleeping over since there's another guy in the house?" Jude asked.
"You sleep over here?" Spiederman asked.
"Dude, she lives right there. You see that window that all summer you've been like, who lives there? That's Jude's window," Jamie said.
"You sleep in the haunted room!" Jude exclaimed.
"What?" Spiederman exclaimed.
"Jude swears that room is haunted," Jamie said.
"I haven't been haunted or anything, yet," Spiederman said. He was about to say something else, when his phone rang.
"Hey, Kat. At Jamie's. Yes, I do go here everyday. Because it takes me two seconds to walk over here. You live on the other side of the neighborhood. I would feel bad if you drove all the way over here just to come get me. Um, I think we're gonna be busy today. I don't know let me ask. Jamie, can Kat come over and bring movies?" Spiederman asked. Jude raised her eyebrows. She couldn't believe Kat was obsessed over a guy. That was so, not Kat.
"Sure, why not. Is she spending the night?" Jamie asked. Spiederman shook his head.
"You are? Great," Spiederman said, unenthusiastically. He mimed bringing a gun to his head and shooting himself.
Jude laughed at him.
"We're gonna go to the store really fast. Stock up on junk. You really don't have to meet us there. We don't even know which one we're going to. Just come over here and hang with Nana until we get back. Okay. Okay. Bye. Yes? Sure, bring scary movies. As long as it's not the Blair Witch, Jamie hates that movie. Okay. Sure, great fine, bye," Spiederman said.
"Wow, this is shocking. What the hell did you do to her that made her get like this?" Jude asked.
"Thanks, insult my looks," Spiederman said, kicking her in the butt.
"I didn't mean it like that," Jude said.
"I know, I'm just messing with you," Spiederman said.
"So does this mean we actually have to go to the store now?" Jamie asked.
"Yeah. Will Nana let you take the car?" Spiederman asked.
"I'm pretty sure she's sleep on the couch so I'll just ask and she'll say yes," Jamie said.
"Nana let's you drive? That's awesome," Jude said.
"Can't you drive?" Spiederman asked.
"I've only got my permit," Jude said.
"How much longer until you're fully licensed?" Spiederman asked.
"A little under three months. Then its Sweet Sixteen for me," Jude said.
"You're only fifteen?" Spiederman asked.
"Yeah, how old are you?" Jude asked.
"I'm sixteen, but wow, you just look, a lot older," Spiederman said.
"I'll take that as a compliment," Jude said.
"It wasn't meant as anything other than one," Spiederman said.
"Alright, if you don't want Kat coming with us, we're gonna have to leave now. She somehow manages to speed over here when she knows you're here," Jamie said, interrupting their flirting.
"Ha, she speeds when Speed's around," Spiederman said.
"Nice. I still can't believe this. I'm gonna have to see it for myself," Jude said.
"You wanna see? Okay, Jamie, when we get back, if Kat's not here yet, let her see the logs. Or better yet, look through my text messages," Spiederman said, handing Jude his phone.
Hey r u awake?
OMG turn around!
R u busy?
Where r u?
I saw that ur goin 2 the movies w/Jamie. Can I come?
Wow wat a coinkidink that we're here at the same time!
R u at Jamie's?
Do u wanna do sumthin?
U wanna go 2 the movies?
I'm bored, lets hang!
R u ever not w/Jamie :P
And it just went on and on.
"Wow. You've got like, the Spiederman charm thing turned up on blast," Jude said.
"No, its not. I even tried being rude to her, and she told Jamie she liked that," Spiederman said.
"Wow, kinda sucks to be you buddy," Jude said, kicking him in the butt. Jamie finally realized why he got along so well with Spiederman: he was like a guy version of Jude.
"I call shotgun!" Jude and Spiederman yelled when Jamie got the keys from Nana.
"No fair, you've been riding around with him all summer. I've never experienced Jamie driving before," Jude said.
"So, I call shotgun for life," Spiederman said.
"You can't call shotgun for life when everyone isn't present. That's like the rules of shotgun," Jude said.
"There's only one way of settling this," Jamie said. Jude took a sideways glance at Speed and nodded. He did the same. When Jamie opened his front door, Jude and Spiederman went rushing out of the door to the passenger side of the car.
Spiederman got there first and opened the door. He turned to laugh at Jude and noticed she wasn't behind him. She was sitting shotgun.
"Rule number one: never let your guard down," she said, laughing.
"Argh, fine," Spiederman said, getting into the backseat.
"Jude always wins," Jamie said, driving off.
"That's right," Jude said. As they reached the nearest store, they saw Kat's dad's car in the parking lot.
"Let's not go to this one and say we did," Spiederman said, pointing at her car.
"Oh come on, it can't be that bad," Jude said. Spiederman and Jamie looked at each other.
"We'll let you see for yourself then," Jamie said, parking. Jude went to put on her sneakers as the guys got out of the car.
"Kat, I told you to just meet us back at Jamie's," Spiederman said.
"Yeah, but I figured I'd try to catch you guys here so I can have some sort of input on what's being bought," Kat said. She gave Spiederman a hug and grinned like an idiot.
"I think Jamie has the whole, 'what does Kat like to eat' thing covered," Spiederman said.
"Alright, let's go," Kat said, linking arms with Spiederman.
"You wouldn't leave without little old me would you?" Jude asked, getting out of the car.
"I was just about to say we have to wait for Jude," Spiederman said.
"Jude! When'd you get back?" Kat asked.
"Last night. I slept in and went over to Jamie's and yeah," Jude said.
"Oh. You could've called," Kat said.
"I slept in, and went to Jamie's. You called Spiederman. I was gonna say, 'hey let's call Kat and see what she's doing' but you beat me to it," Jude said.
"Whatever. Well, now we can go," Kat said. Jude looked at their linked arms and the look on Spiederman's face. When they were done, Jude and Spiederman were about to fight for shotgun again.
"Well if it's really that big of a deal, how about Jude you ride with Jamie, and Speed, you can ride with me," Kat said.
"You can't do that. It goes against the rules of shotgun," Spiederman said, looking at Jude for assistance.
"Yeah, when you lose shotgun, you have to sit in the backseat of the car that you've lost your shotgun in," Jude said.
"Yeah, sorry," Speed said, trying to sound sincere.
"Alright. Well I'll just meet you guys over there then," Kat said.
