Chapter 2

Jude got back to her dorm around 3. Her roommate, Whitney, was taking a nap and Jude figured she might as well finish hers from before, especially if she was gonna go out. As she crawled into bed, she shook her head and gave a little laugh thinking that she actually allowed Sadie to talk her into going out. She closed her eyes and drifted to sleep.

Jude started to stir around 6 when Whitney started planning her evening, loudly, over the phone. Deciding it was useless to try and go back to sleep, she changed into a towel and took a shower. When she got back to her room she put on her bathrobe and put her hair up into a towel. She decided to call Kat who was at school in NY.

"Hello?"

"Hey Kat!"

"Hey Jude! What's up?"

"Eh, not to much. Been working a lot."

"Never thought I'd here you say that." Jude scoffed. "I'm just kidding. I'm proud of you, you know that! So, I know you've been doing all your work, have you gone out yet, or is that just wishful thinking?" Kat asked and waited for her response.

"Well, actually, Sadie is dragging me to one of her friend's frat houses tonight for a party. So, we'll see how that goes. She's coming over in a little bit to help me get ready, watch me end up looking like Stacie, Barbie's little sister."

Kat laughed. "Wow, frat parties, how college of you. In 'lil old NYC we just go clubbing."

"Is my best friend rubbing elbows with all the rich and famous in the States?" Jude asked with a little laugh.

"Not quite as buddy, buddy as rubbing elbows but I did bump into Lindsey Lohan in one club."

"Fun stuff tink. Oh, hey sorry to cut this short but Sadie just IM'ed me and said she's on her way. Talk to you later?"

"Sure thing. And have some fun tonight alright?"

"I'll try. Bye Kat!"

"Bye Jude"

Sadie arrived about a half hour later looking like she had just stepped out of a fashion magazine. She had her hair down and straight and her makeup was perfect. She was wearing cream colored peasant tank top with a pair of light jeans and brown open toed heels. She also had with her a gym bag which Jude found to contain all the necessities to complete her look. Jude let the towel out of her hair and it had a nice wavy natural look to it. Sadie was actually pleasantly surprised with her sister's hair and didn't make her change it. As Sadie rummaged through Jude's wardrobe and the pieces she brought looking for the "perfect" look for her little sister, she decided to prepare her for the night.

"So, most of the people are really cool and you can trust most of them. But, if you are gonna drink, get one yourself or have me or one of my friend's get it for you. Don't go into any rooms—"

"Sadie I may not be a party animal and go out as much as you, but I'm not stupid!"

"Sorry, I just want you to be careful." Sadie said throwing a bundle of clothes at Jude. "Put those on and we'll move on from there."

Jude went to change. When she returned Sadie gave her an approving look. "See Jude, those vintage shirts you wear are great but its fun to change it up a bit don't you think? I mean you look great!"

Jude had on a pair of classic blue, boot-cut jeans. She was wearing a low-cut black satin halter that flared after the bust. Sadie handed her a pair of black strappy heels. Sadie did Jude's makeup mostly natural but gave her slightly smokey eyes. Just as they were finishing up Whitney came in saying something about forgetting her wallet and she stopped short as soon as she saw the sisters.

"Wow, Sadie. Quite an improvement. She looks good enough to hang out with me and my friends." Sadie and Jude gave each other shocked looks. "Well have fun girls!" and with that she was out the door.

The girls just looked at each other and laughed at the little episode. "I don't know how you put up with that crazy alcoholic slut." Sadie asked. Jude just laughed some more. The girls grabbed their purses and left.
