So you guys won me over, this will now be a series of oneshots. Mostly focused on Jen and Jude, but I will have other POVs for the story telling and other relationships shall be mentioned. This one is short and takes place not long after Jude and Starr broke up.
It all came down to timing, Caitlin decided. She watched her friends drink their smoothies and chat while pretending she was reading a magazine.
Jonesy and Nikki had had a bit of an on again off again sort of relationship for a while there and during their off periods they dated other people, never being single at the same time. It was almost painful to watch, but Caitlin kept her observations to herself. Nikki would get angry and defensive if she'd mentioned it, and Jonesy would've brushed it off, playing the tough guy.
It was what she had expected. Seeing Jen and Jude going through the same thing had admittedly taken the blonde by surprise.
Jude had been really hung up on Starr after they broke up, he still was to some degree. Jen hid her feelings well, but Caitlin had read enough magazines in her time to know when a girl was in love. Jen's 'in love and trying to hide it' behaviour was the total opposite from her 'I've got a crush' behaviour. Caitlin figured it was largely to do with the fact that Jude was her friend, and things had been awkward for a bit after Nikki and Jonesy broke up and Jen was likely over thinking and worrying about it.
Jude, on the other hand hadn't seemed to think of any of that. He kept on doing his same old routine that Caitlin was as sure on if Jude had feelings for Jen or not.
"Caitlin? You okay?" Wyatt asked, interrupting her thoughts.
"Hm? Oh! Yeah, totally fine," Cailtin laughed, surprised that anyone noticed her quiet musings.
"You've been staring at that page for nearly twenty minutes," Wyatt continued, their other four friends turned to look at her, their curiosity piqued.
"Oh! I was just imagining how I'd look in this outfit," she fibbed, turning the magazine for them to see. "Too cute, right? Wonder how much I'd have to save up to get it." Just like that the suspicion was off her.
She returned her thoughts to Jen and Jude, there had to be some way to get them together.
Watching them debate the pros and cons of their favourite places to snowboard Caitlin decided that maybe, just this once, she wouldn't meddle.
If Disney had taught her one thing, love will find a way.
The next chapter shall include behind the scenes on Baby, You Stink.
