"Speed, dude, come on," Wally said. They were running through the airport, trying to catch their flight to their first stop on the tour when Kyle and Wally noticed Speed's sudden stop.
"What? Oh, okay, yeah," Speed said, catching up with his two friends. The reason for his abrupt start was that he saw Jude kissing Jamie. Not that he cared, or anything, he just always thought Jude had a thing for her producer, not Jamie.
"Where's Jude, she said she was here already," Kyle said by the time they got to their gate.
"Making out with Jamie," Speed mumbled.
"What!" his friends exclaimed.
"That's what shocked me. Smack in the middle of the airport were Jude and Jamie in a full-on lip lock," Speed said.
"Sound a little bitter, Speed," Wally said.
"Not bitter. Confused," Speed said.
"Right. Come on, let's get our seats, and I'll call her from there," Wally said.
By the time they were in their seats and were settled, Jude had just made it onto the plane. She had the goofiest grin on her face when she took her seat.
"Who am I sitting with?" Jude asked.
"Well, seeing as how Wally and I are in these two seats, and there's on empty one next to you, what do you think?" Kyle said.
"Where is Speed, by the way?" Jude asked.
"Oh, right, he has this weird thing where whenever he gets on a plane, he runs to the bathroom and uses it. Something about him being the first person to use the newly cleaned toilet," Wally said.
"Gross," Jude said.
"Those bathrooms are cool. Oh, Jude, you're here," Speed said.
"Yes, and sadly, I'm forced to sit next to you on this flight," Jude said.
"That makes two of us," Speed said. Kyle, Wally, and Jude turned to look at him.
"Am I not allowed to take cheap shots at Jude?" Speed asked.
"You're not allowed to sound like you mean it," Jude said, sounding hurt.
"Sorry dude," Speed said with a serious face. Jude pushed him and laughed.
"This has been the craziest two weeks of my life," Jude said after they had taken off. She had forgotten to mention to the guys that takeoff and landing terrified her so until they were told that they could take off their seatbelts, Jude attached herself to Spiederman's body and hid her face in his chest. He laughed at first, until he realized how terrified she really was.
"You seem to say that every two weeks," Speed said.
"Well, I guess my life is getting insane then. But no really, I mean think of all the stuff that's been happening," Jude said.
"Uh, you got us? Wow, that sure is crazy," Speed said, laughing.
"Funny. No, I mean like, Jamie, and Kat, being Jamie and Kat. And not telling me," Jude said.
"I'm so sorry about that dude, I thought you knew," Speed said.
One day during practice, Spiederman made a comment about how Jamie has to stop every time his girlfriend calls. Jude knew he was talking about Kat, who strangely was calling Jamie a lot, but she knew, or thought she knew, that they were just friends.
"Jamie and Kat aren't together," Jude said.
"Yeah they are," Spiederman said.
"No they're not. They would've told me," Jude said.
"You mean they haven't? It's so obvious. I mean, the seating arrangements, the them walking off to be alone, the calling each other non-stop, her sudden jealousy of you," Spiederman said. It was hard for Jude to take this all in.
"You and Kat?" Jude asked when Jamie walked back into the garage.
"Uh, what about me and Kat?" Jamie asked.
"You two are together and you didn't even think to tell me?" Jude asked.
"I, uh," Jamie stuttered.
"Whatever," Jude said, walking outside. Spiederman followed her.
"How could they not tell me?" Jude asked.
"I don't know. I'm so sorry, dude, I thought you knew," Spiederman said, hugging her.
"And Shay asking me to go on his tour with him. And Tommy doing my sister. And Kat breaking up with Jamie. And school being over!" Jude silently shouted the last bit.
"And you kissing Jamie," Wally said.
"What! How did, that just," Jude said.
"Speed saw you two while we were running to catch the flight," Kyle said.
"Oh. Well I was going to wait until we landed, and I had time to think things over before I told you. But yeah, I guess, me and Jamie are me and Jamie now," Jude said.
"Wait, what about Kat?" Wally asked.
"She should've known way before Jamie broke up with her that he was still in love with Jude," Spiederman said.
"He's in love with me?" Jude asked.
"How oblivious are you? He's been in love with you ever since he decided he liked girls. Every time he came to my house we spent most of the day talking about you," Speed said.
"And then suddenly he stopped coming to your house all the time. And then your house became cool," Kyle said, laughing.
"Because I would make fun of Jude. I'm like, I've always made fun of her, she's fun to make fun of, I probably will never stop," Speed said.
"Good to know," Jude said, laughing.
"But yeah, we knew he had a major crush on you, we didn't know it was like, love or anything," Wally said.
"Wow. Well then, uh, I'm glad we're spending some time apart. This is all too much for me to take in," Jude said.
"You get to spend all summer with the hottest guys ever," Kyle said.
"Dude, gay much?" Speed said.
"I'm joking. I'm the only hott one. I just wanted to make them feel better," Kyle said.
"Right. Everyone knows the one that's hott gets the band named after them," Spiederman said.
"Then why isn't it called Jude's Mind Explosion," Wally said, making Jude blush. Speed saw this and was tempted to punch him.
"It had to be named after the one with the coolest name. And Vin Spiederman wins that one," Jude said. Speed smiled at her and Kyle rolled his eyes. He was beginning to notice that Speed was starting to think of her less as a sister and more as girlfriend.
