Chapter 3: Sidewalk

"Woah , sorry EJ !"Jude yelled over her shoulder the next morning at G-Major. She hadn't gotten her coffee yet.. So not a good thing. It was only 7:30! Georgia had asked for her and Tommy to be there extra early, and she still hadn't told them why. Jude wasn't really a morning person, and she seemed to be bumping into everyone.

Jude saw Tommy standing in the door of studio A and he groaned.

"Still hasn't told you yet?"Tommy asked with a sleepy voice.

Jude shook her head and sat down on one of the chairs in the studio.

"Well, might as well work on that song of yours."He sighed.

"Tommy, I can't sing this early! My voice will sound like crap!It already does! And I'm not even singing!"Jude yelled.She got really cranky in the mornings.

Fortunately for Tommy,right at that moment,Georgia walked in.

"About time!"mumbled Tommy.

"Yeah!Could you PLEASE tell us what's going on here?"

Georgia rolled her eyes. She's the only one who didn't tolerate Jude's morning attitude. "Fine,if you're going to have an attitude,then maybe you don't need to come!"

Jude sighed. "Allright,sorry"she grumbled.

"That's better. Now both of you come outside.I have something to show you!"

Confused,Tommy and Jude followed her outside,where there was nothing but new,wet concrete they had just laid down.

"Uh,Georgia,why are you showing us new concrete?"Jude asked,puzzled.

"All of the G-Major staff are putting their handprints on it!You can put yours anywhere you want!"She looked so excited.

Tommy and Jude laughed,and then debated where to put their handprints.

"Uh,do you wanna put them next to each other,or what?"Jude asked.

"Together,of course!"Tommy looked at her like she was crazy.

They eventually found a spot in the corner away from everyone else's.

"Ok,ready?1-2-3!"They smashed their hands into the wet cement at the same time. Tommy's hand was so much bigger than hers.Jude smiled. Even their hands looked good together.

They decided to write:Jude & Tommy:Best artist/producer known to G-Major. 3-12-06.

It was totally cool. Their hands got so dirty!But they didn't care. They just sat there smiling at each other,totally caught in a moment.They didn't care that anyone else was there. All they saw was each other. Tommy leaned down,staring at Jude,when all of the sudden someone walked up and tapped him on the shoulder.
