Chapter 14


Thursday we all skipped school and headed to 620, we met there about 10am. Sadie came along with Jude since she didn't have any classes and wasn't working until later.

"What shall we do dudes?" I asked once everyone had arrived. Jude looked awful; I know she was up all night crying.

"We could write an angry song and then get music for it." Kyle suggested.

"We could, or we could have some fun. This always worked when I went through a breakup situation. Put on some fun music and dance like no one is watching. It will take you mind off of all this, you will have a blast sis." Sadie said.

"Let's give it a shot." Wally said as he found the boom box.

We sat up and cleared a place to dance. It was definitely not something I did often, well really ever do, but for Jude I would. Wally of course grabbed his video recorder; Wally didn't go many places without it. Hmm, I wonder if he recorded Jude and me making out, then I could see her reactions. Mental note, ask Wally if he recorded make out session.

After twenty minutes, I was surprised, I was actually having fun. So were Kyle and Wally. Jude looked to be having a good time as well. I decided to get out my dad's laptop and pull up my music program so we could get any songs we wanted on demand.

"Ah ha, here is a song to dance to." I said as Kyle and I hooked it up to the speakers. The laptop started playing and I started singing "I am bringing sexy back. Them other boys don't know how to act." As Kyle and I tried to dance just like Justin Timberlake. Jude fell over laughing.

Sadie quickly joined in and pulled Jude along. When the bridge came and it said "I'll let you whip me if I misbehave" temptation took over and I smacked Jude on the butt. She looked at me for a minute then laughed. Of course she couldn't resist it, she had to slap my butt the second time the bridge came on, who could blame her? With an ass like mine, I am surprised she hasn't slapped it yet just to say she touched it. Cocky much am I?

"Here is a song that will make you feel better, put on the skates first." Sadie said to Jude as she threw her a pair of roller skates that happened to be lying around the apartment. Where did those come from? Seriously.

Ok, back to important matters, Sadie's song of choice was Public Affair by Jessica Simpson. We, the dudes, didn't disagree one bit. We once wanted to start a fan club for her because she is so incredibly hot. Now really, Jude put on the skates, that are not her area of expertise. She started skating around with Sadie laughing. Jude then decided to have some fun and do roller disco. She slipped and lost control of her skates and came crashing right into me. I then fell right into Kyle who hit Wally with the camera. That was the highlight of the day. We stayed there till 2pm just goofing off and having a blast.

Friday, the day Jude Harrison turns eighteen. SME had a few tricks up their sleeve, and everyone was going to know today was Jude's birthday, especially after the shirts we made for her and proceeded to wear. Kyle's shirts said Happy, Wally's said Birthday, and mind said Jude on the front; on the back of all three it had Love SME.

"Happy birthday rock goddess." I said as we ran to greet her at school.

"Thanks Speed. Love those shirts" Jude said as she gave me a hug. I stepped away from her so she could get in her locker.

"I HATE YOU VINCENT, KYLE, AND WALLACE!" Jude screamed a minute after she opened her locker. We were dying of laughter. Kyle's sister's boyfriend showed us how to rig lockers, so we obviously hit up Jude's. We had it so it shot silly string everywhere when she opened it as well as having poppers go off and the birthday song start playing.

"You love us dude." Kyle said. We each walked by her, gave her a kiss on both cheeks and a butt kick and walked off.

During morning announcements came surprise two. We talked to the girl who does the morning video announcements into accidentally locking her keys in the room and to have not seen us sneaking around. It only cost a date with Wally. Kyle and I jumped on the offer and Wally jumped on us. He can survive, and I think the bruise on Kyle's arm will go away by Monday.

The TV lit up to a "Today is a very special day. Today, Toronto's own Instant Star, Jude Harrison turns the big 1-8. Happy birthday dude." Then it was clips of her acting stupid, embarrassing clips, like her roller disco fiasco. The background music was a birthday version of her chart topper My Sweet Time. We appeared at the end when we said our happy birthdays and then acted like we kicked the camera over. It lasted for about three minutes. It went off and over the intercom; we heard the principal yell, "Will Vincent Spiederman, Kyle Bateman, and Wally Robbins report to my office immediately."

"Only for you dude." We each said as we walked by an embarrassed Jude. We each gave her a kiss on both cheeks again. She didn't see me loop my foot in her backpack as we left.

Surprise three came after we got yelled at by the principal. Jude was pissed because we took her backpack. She opened it then started yelling at us. We had stuffed it with porn magazines; she is eighteen and can legally have them, why not go ahead and give them to her. We kicked her in the butt each and walked off. Surprise four was her locker again. It was stacked full of condom boxes, once again, legal and eighteen, help her out.

"Do you realize I hate you guys right now?" Jude asked as she quickly closed her locker.

"No, you adore us." Wally said patting her back.

"First the Play Girl magazines, now condoms, please tell me there isn't anymore." Jude said.

"I wish I could babe, but you only turn eighteen once, and SME knows how to make it unforgettable." I said.

"Can I just go home sick?" Jude asked.

"Won't work, Sadie knows what is going on and told the rents not to let you go home early." Kyle said.

"God, I hate you, I just want to go to lunch." Jude said walking off after we each kicked her in the butt.

"Later Harrison." Wally and I said.

"Hey, if you want to use your present anytime soon, just call up Speed! He would love you show you how they work." Kyle yelled.

"Idiot." I said as I punched him.

"Damn." Kyle said as Wally and I disappeared. He just stood there holding his shoulder.

At lunch came another surprise. We had Kyle's sister bring in a big birthday cake for Jude and lit candles, the whole shebang! We of course attracted attention. We each gave her a kiss on both cheeks and were off. Surprise six was eighteen huge balloons that she had to carry out of school. On her way out, we all ran by and kicked her butt.

When Jude got out in the parking lot, her car was no where in sight. We had Sadie come pick it up and take it away. She started to cry and look everywhere.

"Surprise seven! You get to drive my car until your party." I said with a smile. Then we all kicked her in the butt.

"What is with the butt-kicking and kissing?" She asked annoyed as she tried to shove the balloons in.

"I am taking that home for you." Kyle said as he stuffed them into his mom's Explorer.

"Haven't you noticed anything about the butt-kicking and kissing?" Wally asked.

"No." Jude replied confused.

"You have been kicked eighteen times and kissed eighteen times…duh!" I said.

"I guess so." She replied after a minute of thinking about it.

"We didn't give her anything to grow on." Kyle said, so I took that as my chance. I grabbed her and kissed her with more intensity and passion then I ever had. When we pulled away, Kyle and Wally slapped her butt hard.

"That should help you grow up." I said laughing as I climbed in the car with Kyle.

"Be at 620 for more surprises." Wally said and then we peeled out before Jude could say anything.
