Chapter 2- The unwanted surprise

"So Jude, I was so happy to meet you. I bought your first CD and watched you on Instant Star" Jimmy said as he walked beside her.

"Oh really? Wow! I'm not that great...well i'm not that famous anyway" Jude smirked

"Well you are to me" Jimmy playfully shoved her away making her jump into a puddle. She laughed and tackled him, knocking him to the grass.

"HAHA! Gotcha!" She yelled.
"Yea yea, you got me" Jimmy surrendered. At that, they completed the walk to Jude's house.

"Ok..so what do we need? Alcohol and Peroxide? What the heck are we making?" Jude questioned

"Uh..I think some sort of chemical that turns plastic into a liquid?"

"Great...so we're making an acid."

They completed their work for the day, Jude and Jimmy saying their goodbye's and leaving eachother. Jude closed the door to see Sadie, smiling evilly on the staircase.

"What?"
"He's cute" Sadie said

"Want him?"

"No, silly. I mean for you!"

"Oh...I don't know him."

"But you WILL know him by the time this project is over."

"Sadie stop...I don't like him like that"

"Okay..whatever." She walked upstairs and made kissy noises downstairs to Jude, making Jude very annoyed at her. Quietly Jude shut her bedroom door and picked up her guitar. She played a few notes and made the music come directly from her heart. in your little lullaby lie... She sang the last words to the song in her head. Perfect.. She thought. She had completed the best song she'd ever written, and she was very happy. She replayed it a few more times to make sure she wouldn't forget it, and then slipped into her pajama's. Time for bed.

The next day at school Jude had almost completely ignored Jamie and Kat. Though it was unintentional, she found herself hanging out with Jimmy more. She didn't like him like that, but he kept hanging around her now that they were partners. Jude wasn't uncomfortable though. She figured he was going through a Jude Harrison Fan Stage, and pretty soon he would realize shes just a normal person and get over it. Nothin' to it, right?

"TOMMY! TOMMY!" Jude ran up to Tommy and gave him a big hug when she got to G-Major.

"Woah...Hi...what's the occasion?" He replied, surprised by the enthusiastic greeting.

"Just happy to see you" Jude was smiling widely and looking at him

"Ok...what's the real occasion?"

"I FINISHED THE SONG!" Jude replied. Tommy was relieved to hear this, seeing as how he completely forgot to work on it. He sighed and smiled. He let an arm in front of him, instructing Jude to get inside the studio. "Let's hear it" He said.

She stepped in the recording booth. The lights turned on and the microphone was switched up. She picked up her guitar and held it firmly in her hands. this was it. the perfect song.

She played it note for note, exactly how she played it last night. At the intensity of it, tears were welling up in her eyes. She strummed the last cord and let the strings finish their sweet vibrations. She smiled and put down her guitar.

"Weeeelll?" she asked, eager to hear his praise.

"Thats amazing. it's finished. I'll show Georgia tomorrow. For now...let's go celebrate. Burgers at McDonalds?"

"Wow you're cheap, Quincy."

"McDonald's it is"

Jude giggled and got into the viper. She blasted the radio and did car-karaoke. She tried to get Tommy to, but as stubborn as he was he wouldn't sing a word. They stepped out and entered the McDonald's. They ordered their burgers, and sat down.

"Hey.." Tommy said in between bites "What about that kid you're workin' with. Not tonight?"

"Yea but I have at least another hour..." Jude looked at the clock. "NO I DONT I HAVE NO HOURS! IT'S 4:52 I WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET HIM AT MY HOUSE AT 4!" Jude gobbled up the last of her burger and pulled on Tommy's arm. "You have to take me home!"

"...Get in the car" He grumbled. For some odd reason, he didn't want this to end. He enjoyed spending time with Jude, especially outside the studio. It was rare, but fun. And he felt comfortable around her.

Tommy practically sped to get Jude home. When they got there, Jimmy was sitting on the doorstep, looking at his watch.

"Jude you're here! I thought you forgot"

"Well...I uh..kinda did.. but I'm SO sorry" Jude hopped out of the vehicle after kissing Tommy on the cheek. "Thanks!" She watched him drive off.

"No it's okay..I didn't know you were on a date"

"Date? Oh, no, that's my producer"

"Oh, so no date?"

"No date." Jude smiled and invited him inside, rushing around to get the things and get themselves back on time schedule.

"Maybe you should slow down Jude, you might burn something. This IS an acid though"

"We've been working on this for 4 days, I haven't spilled it yet." Jude said

"YET" Jimmy joked. He motioned quickly like he was going to push her and she flinched and began laughing histerically. He stared straight at her, she stared back. Without thinking he jumped at the chance and leaned in to kiss her. She instantly pulled away.

"Jimmy..." She said

"Jude I... I like you. I thought you liked me too...you were flirting back."

"Flirting? I'd say I was just having fun with a friend."

"I like you alot"

"I'm sorry, I don't feel that way about you"

"Why?"

"Because...I like somebody else" she confessed

"Who? your little producer?"

"It's not like that okay! Tommy is my producer! Leave him out!"

"Then WHO!"
"MAYBE..."Jude realized she was now yelling and lowered her voice "Maybe you should go. We'll finish the project tomorrow when it isn't so...weird"

"Yea..." Jimmy grabbed his things and headed for the door. "Hey jude?"
"Yea?" She asked, staring at him from the kitchen

"I'm sorry.."

"It's okay..."She said quietly. As he left, she stood at the counter staring at the unfinished project. She began cleaning up the mess. Finally she finished, and walked to her room and shut the door.
