Chapter 5: The Getaway.

Jude: "I almost kissed Tom Quincy!"

Jamie: "I totally, totally kissed Portia Mills." He began to drive. He drove up next to Yvette's car.

Sadie: She and Eden were dressed as Siamese angels. Eden wasn't paying attention when they were talking about costumes. "Oh, my god!"

Eden: "What?" She looked at where Sadie was looking. "Mom!"

Yvette: "Yes, Sweetie?"

"Look! Look!" Eden and Sadie cried in unison pointing to Jamie's car. Jude heard them and ducked down.

Yvette: "What?" She turned to see Jamie laughing nervously.

Jamie: "Hello, Mrs. Harrison." He waved. She rolled her eyes and began driving.

Even with Jamie driving incredibly slowly, they got to Yvette's. She went in through the back, as Yvette, Eden, and Sadie walked into Yvette's dinner.

Yvette: "Where's Jude?"

Kat: "She's uh . . . uh. . ."

Jude: A bell went off. "Order up!" They whole restaurant turned and looked at Jude. She had powder on her face and she was behind the stove.

Yvette: "What are you doing back there?"

Armando: He was the chief for the dinner. "I was helping her with her cooking skills," he lied.

Yvette: Everyone looked weird. "Something stinks in here. And it's not the fish."

Monday. . .

Jamie: "What happened?"

Jude: "She bought it."

Jamie: "I mean with Tommy."

Jude: "Nothing. And nothing will probably ever happen, 'cause he's probably already forgotten all about Cinderella." They walked into the school, to find flyers for people who knew 'Cinderella'.

Jamie: "Sure Jude. He's forgotten all about you."

Jude: She gasped and they kept walking.

Tommy and Kwest are putting up more flyers.

Kwest: He handed Tommy a flyer. "Why are you going threw all of this trouble for just one chick?"

Tommy: He took it. "She's not just some chick, all right? She was. . .real."

Kwest: "Real like she still had her old nose?"

Tommy: "No. Real like the kind of girl who doesn't care what she wears, or what she eats. That real. She listens to me."

Kwest: "Wha-what are you talking about I lis-" a pretty girl came down the hall. "Hola, mamaseta!"

Tommy: "Yeah, sure you listen to me."

Kwest: "Anyway, you found her cell phone, there has to be some clue to that."

Tommy: "The phone's locked. But I keep getting these text messages like 'I need you,' 'Come see me know.'

Kwest: "Dude that's so hot."

Tommy: "See, that's what I thought. . . Until I got one that said 'Come fix fryer.'"

Kwest: "But that's still hot!" Tommy gave him an 'are you serious look?'.

Jude and Jamie. . .

Jude: She was trying to hide her face. "Isn't it better to cling to the dream of what might have been instead of ruining everything with reality?"

Jamie: "What I mean is you can't hide from him forever."

Jude: "No. Just until graduation, where I leave this place and never see him again. And what about you Zorro? When are you gonna tell Portia?"

Jamie: "As a matter of fact, I was thinking of how I was going to do just that."

Jude: "Oh really?"

Jamie: "Yes, really."

Jude: "I have a proposition. When you tell Portia it was you, I'll tell Tommy it was me."

Jamie: "Deal."

Jude: "Deal." They shook hands.

Tommy and Kwest. . .

Kwest: "Check in the yearbook, again, bro. Maybe you missed her. Oh, wait a minute maybe she's foreign exchange. That's hot."

Tommy: "There's no way I missed her. I mean, we had a connection." He turned from the wall he was putting poster on and began to walk down the hall. Then Jude passed him. The looked into each other's eyes, then Tommy looked away. She walked right smack into a locker.

Guy: "Thanks." He had a hand full of books and he needed to close his locker.

Jamie: "Jesus! Are you okay?"

Jude: "Ow."
