Chapter Three

Jude glanced around her new college dorm room. She had requested a single so that she wouldn't have a roommate. The room was small, but she had decorated it just the way she liked. There was a Kurt Cobain poster hanging above her bed, next to a Clash poster. Over her computer she had a Misfits poster featuring the song Bullet. She smiled, loving that she had her own place, at least temporarily.

There was a knock on her door. She turned to see her good friend Mason Fox enter. He whistled, adjusting his cowboy hat.

"I love what you've done with the place!" Jude smiled her thanks. She and Mason had been friends since 7th grade gym. She had helped him come out about being gay, and the two had been inseparable ever since. Mason was a music major like her. In fact, they had their first class together that very day.

"So you ready for class?" Jude nodded, extremely excited. Their first class was Songwriting, Jude's favorite thing in the world.

"Just let me grab my bag!" She grabbed her book bag which was sitting in her computer chair. She looked at the screen, sad to see that she hadn't received any new e-mails. Speed had been gone a month and Jude was missing him like crazy.

Mason pulled her out the door.

"Nothing new?" Jude shook her head.

"Not since last week." She sighed. "He said he was going to write everyday. Lately his messages have been short and far and few between." Mason placed a loving hand on her shoulder.

"He's probably just busy with touring. I mean he's up every night playing a show and he has to sleep all day. I'm sure he'll write when he gets a chance." Jude nodded.

They entered the main building where all the music classes were held. They entered a small classroom, already buzzing with students. Jude and Mason sat down next to each other. The students around them talked with excitement. Everyone in the class was a freshman.

A door slammed shut and a young man who looked no older then 25 entered. He was dressed in jeans and a black button up shirt, his hair in a small Mohawk kind of style.

"Now that I have your attention, welcome to Songwriting 101! I will be your teacher Professor Quincy, but please call me Tom. Professor makes me sound old and I am not." Jude grinned, already liking her teacher. It didn't hurt that he was cute. All the girls were glues to him, drool coming out of their mouths. Mason tapped her.

"Do you think any chance he's gay?" He whispered. Jude smiled at him but shook her head.

"I highly doubt it." She turned back to face him.

"Now, I take it all of you in here have an interest in songwriting? Am I right?" The class laughed. Tom smiled. He was such an easy going teacher.

"Well, I certainly hope so, are else you are most definitely in the wrong class. I get a few of those every year. There's always a few giggling girls with no interest in music whatsoever in here. I can't imagine why they take this class!" He joked. Everyone laughed, knowing that he was joking about his own good looks.

"Alright, well since this is college, you are going to have you're first assignment." Jude fought back the urge to groan. She was in college now, she had to cut her high school behavior.

"On Friday when we meet again, I want you all to come in with your own song arranged. You will perform it, and the class will give you feedback. We will do these kind of assignments several times during the semester. Now as for books. You don't need to worry about paying any money for books in here. Just bring you're creativity, a pen, and a notebook." Jude grinned. This assignment would be easy for her. Maybe this college thing was going to be even better then she thought?
