Jude looked at herself in the mirror. She couldn't believe she went through with it. Or how good it looked.
"Oh my God Jude, what did you do?" Sadie asked when she walked into the room.
"I thought this whole, take my car deal was to get Speed back," Tommy said.
"This was Speed's idea," Jude said, explaining everything that happened.
"I'm going to kill him," Sadie said when Jude got to the part about her running out of the store.
"Not if I get there first!" Tommy said.
"Guys, chill. Let me finish," Jude said. She left out the part where Speed kissed her and sent it to everyone on his phone book.
"I love that guy, where is he?" Sadie asked.
"In his room, moping – holy shit the song!" Jude exclaimed. She forgot about Mason and Patsy putting the song in his room.
"They did give him the song?" Tommy asked.
"Yeah," Jude said.
"Did he listen to it?" Tommy asked.
"I don't know," Jude said.
"Call him!" Sadie exclaimed. Jude picked up her phone and clicked on a picture of him.
When he answered, she heard Your Eyes playing in the background.
"Oh, you heard the song," Jude said.
"Yeah. When did you do this?" Spiederman asked.
"This morning. That's why I called you last night. To tell you that I wanted you to be there," Jude said.
"Oh. Wow, this song, it's amazing, Jude," Speed said.
"Thanks," Jude said, blushing.
"Are you still gonna do the talent show?" Speed asked.
"Of course, as long as you're gonna be there," Jude said.
"I'll be there. Um, so about earlier," Speed started. He didn't know if he should bring up the kiss or not, or if they should be together.
"What about it?" Jude asked, blushing.
"Um, I was wondering, if maybe that meant, wait hold on, I've got another phone call," Speed said. Jude sighed as he switched lines.
"What's causing my little sister to blush?" Sadie asked.
"Nothing," Jude said, grinning.
"Jude, I have to go, Jamie's, I don't know, having Jamie issues. But when I come back, we'll talk more, alright?" Speed asked.
"Oh, okay," Jude said.
"It shouldn't take to long," Speed said, hanging up.
"He had to go," Jude said.
"Break up with Derek and tell Speed how you feel. That'll crush Derek," Sadie said.
"Not if he never really liked me to begin with," Jude said.
"Well then you're gonna have to do things that'll make him love you," Tommy said.
"I don't know. I'm not one for hurting people," Jude said.
"You already hurt Speed," Sadie said.
"Yeah, and I felt horrible," Jude said.
"And he's already hurt you," Tommy said.
"Two wrongs don't make a right," Jude said.
"He has it coming for him," Sadie said. The doorbell rang.
"He's back. I'll talk to you guys later," Jude said. Sadie and Tommy shrugged and went into Sadie's room.
"I brought movies," Derek said as he walked in.
"Really? Which ones?" Jude asked.
"Happy Gilmore, Heathers, Blow," Derek said.
"Heathers. My all time favorite movie," Jude said.
"Mine too. Most girls at our school don't even know that movie," Derek said.
"Girls? Try people," Jude said.
"Heathers it is," Derek said, leading Jude upstairs into her room. He put it in the DVD player and sat on the bed.
"I'm gonna go get some sodas and popcorn," Jude said.
"Okay," Derek said, smiling. Jude ran downstairs into the kitchen and dialed Sadie's number.
"Sade, come down, right now," Jude whispered.
"What's wrong?" Sadie asked when she got there.
"He's being nice. He's never this nice. Something's up," Jude said.
"Maybe he knows that you know," Sadie said.
"Maybe, he got the picture," Jude said.
"What picture?" Sadie asked.
"The picture of me and Speed," Jude said.
"What picture?" Sadie asked.
"Speed sent out a picture of me and him to everyone. I don't know. I'm gonna go bring this stuff upstairs. Wanna help?" Jude asked.
"Yeah, I'll help," Sadie said. Sadie grabbed the sodas and Jude grabbed the chips, salsa, and popcorn.
"Oh great the snacks. Hey Sadie," Derek said, grabbing the stuff from the girls.
"Hello," Sadie said, walking out of the room.
"Your sister and I were never the best of friends," Derek said.
"Its okay," Jude said, climbing onto the bed with Derek. He wrapped his arm around her and snacked on the popcorn as the movie began.
Their movie time was interrupted by the sound of Jude's phone ringing.
"I gotta take this," Jude said, when she realized it was Speed. She got up and walked to the other side of her room.
"Hey," Jude said.
"Hey, I'm back," Speed said.
"Who is it?" Derek asked.
"Speed," Jude mouthed. Although he deserved to feel bad, the look on his face when she said Speed's name made her want to end the whole payback thing.
"Oh," Derek said.
"Who's that?" Speed asked.
"Der," Jude said.
"Oh," Speed said.
"Can I call you back?" Jude asked.
"Oh yeah, okay. I'll talk to you later," Speed said.
"Later," Jude said, hanging up.
"Were you, hanging out with Speed, by any chance?" Derek asked.
"No, why?" Jude asked.
"I got a picture. And it was of you and him. And that's the shirt in the picture. And you're kissing," Derek said.
"What? Let me see it!" Jude exclaimed. Derek pulled out his phone and showed Jude the picture.
"Oh that one. We took those when I first met him. We were just being dorks," Jude lied.
"But the shirts are the same," Derek said.
"I had this shirt forever," Jude said. That wasn't entirely a lie.
"Oh. Alright. I guess it was silly of me to think that you would do that," Derek said.
"Yeah, now come on, let's finish this movie," Jude said.
Jude didn't like this feeling. She felt like she was dating the both of them, behind the other one's back. She knew she shouldn't feel sorry for Derek, after what he did to her. And she knew she should be with Speed, because everything felt right with him.
"And the award for most indecisive goes to…" she thought to herself.
Next chapter: Find out what's really wrong with Derek. Plus: Jude has something in store for Spiederman. Will he be able to handle it?
And coming soon: A new story called 24 Hours. It was just a normal day for Jude Harrison until something happened that changed everything.
