Jude is pacing back stage of the Instant Star contest. There were SO many people out there. What if she lost? Everyone in school would make fun of her tomorrow! And where the heck was Jamie, or Kat or Wally and Kyle?! She couldn't even find Sadie or Julia. (Jude's Pov)

Julia's probably on a date with Speiderman or something. Ugh! She didn't like the fact that Spied was dating her sister, but she had to admit that he was a cool guy. But that didn't matter right now. What mattered was that her friends were no where to be found! All of a sudden she heard shuffling noises and her head shot to the door. Then she saw a tall figure with a head full of curly hair. WALLY! He walked into the dressing room, not seeing her at first.
Wally: "Jude?" He called. She then got up from where she was sitting and he saw her. He held his arms out and she jumped into them.
Jude: "Where have you been?" She smacked him lightly on the arm. Wally chuckled and pulled away.
Wally: "We couldn't get past security." Jude laughed. Poor guys, Kyle probably got really mad, if Sadie was there she would flirt her way in.. Sadie..
Jude: "We?" Wally nodded.
Wally: "Me, Kyle, Julia, Sadie, Spied.." Jude looked up at him in shock.
Jude: "Spied? Spied is here? Why?" Wally shook his head.
Wally: "I don't know, maybe as your sisters date or something. He had nothing to do and Julia had an extra ticket.. You get the idea." Jude rolled her eyes.
Jude: "Just like Jules.." She mumbled. She doesn't need a date to everything. For some reason I'm a little more nervous Speid is here. Whatever. Wally then got my attention.
Wally: "So are you nervous?" I shook my head yes. Duh! Either my dreams come true or their crushed. Of course I'm nervous! Stupid Kyle, making me sign up..
Jude: "Of course I am. I'm so scared. What if I lose?" Wally shook his head.
Wally: "Jude, your voice and talent is amazing. No way your coming out of this a loser. Now come on, you gotta go." She sighed and linked arms with Wally.
Jude: "Do I have to?" She whined. He smiled and nodded.
Jude: "Time to get my dreams crushed.." She said as she walked on stage.
A few minutes later ...
Announcer: "And the first ever Instant Star winner is.. Jude Harrison!" Her jaw dropped and she heard Kyle, Wally, Sadie, Julia, her parents and the rest of the crowd cheering. Some one handed her a contract and her breath stopped. She could barely think, it was like her whole thought process ended. She looked into the crowd and out of all the happy faces, one smiling face stood out to her.. Speiderman.

The next day, school was crazy for Jude. She had people coming up to her, congratulating her, that she's never spoken to before in her life. After school today she would be going into the studio for the first time. Wally, Kyle and Jamie were all going to come with her. Jude was was at her locker when Wally and Kyle walked up to her, with Speid trailing not too far behind. (Spied's pov)

She jumped into Kyles arms and he spun her around, Wally patted her on the back, and I just smiled. Kyle and her are very friendly.. So are her and Wally.. Wait, Nah..
Wally: "Never really got to congratulate you last night. We tried to today but you've already got a fan club." He smirked.
Jude: "Ha ha." She hit Wally's arm playfully.
Kyle: "You did it Harrison. Always knew you had it in you. After all, you are blessed with my presence.." She smacked him playfully and then looked at me.
Spied: "Congrats on the contract dud- I mean Jude." She smiled a little then someone came from behind her and wrapped his hands over her eyes.
?!?: "Guess who?" She smiled and turned around. What the hell? Who is this punk? She gave him a huge hug and his hands lingered longer then necessary. I frowned.
Jude: "Well if it isn't Jake Burton.." She smiled. He held his arms out.
Jake: "In the flesh. I heard about Instant Star, congrats babe." He said as he leaned over and kissed her cheek. Is this Jude's boyfriend? No one said she had one..
Jude: "Thanks.." She blushed. Wally and Kyle looked like they wanted to gag. Jude can't like this guy. I mean sure he's got the looks but.. Come on.. Loser.
Jake: "So your back.." A look of anger crossed on Jude's face. I know it isn't for me, I didn't do anything. I think?
Jude: "Yeah I am. Hows Taylor?" She said with a smirk. Oh! He's in trouble. I wonder who Taylor is.. A look of panic came on his face but it quickly passed.
Jake: "Baby.." He tried to hold her hand but she wouldn't let him and she turned away. He then grabbed her chin with his hand.
Jake: "You know your the only girl for me.." He smiled his million dollar smile. I just threw up in my mouth. She started to smile a little but then crossed her arms.
Jude: "Doesn't seem like that Jake." He smiled again and grabbed her hands, and this time she let him. Don't fall for his crap Jude! I don't know why I care though. I don't..
Jake: "Come on baby, don't be like that.." She smiled a little, he had her wrapped around his finger. Ugh, it's disgusting. He put his arm around her.
Jake: "Let me take you out for dinner tonight.." She smiled widely and threw her arms around him and kissed his cheek. He's such a creep..
Jude: "Okay Jake." I rolled my eyes. Kyle imitated her under his breath, 'Okay Jake' in a girly voice. I chuckled a little.
Wally: "Uhh Jude, won't you be in the studio?" Kyle nodded and I smiled. I didn't know Jude but I still didn't want her around this kid Jake. Jude frowned.
Jude: "Oh.. Yeah, well I'm sure that it won't take all night. See you tonight Jake." She kissed his cheek and linked arms with Wally and we all went to class. She is so close to Kyle and Wally but I'm sure it's in a sister way. I mean she has Jake. Wait. I think. I don't know, but I already decided I don't like him.

After school Wally drove everyone to G-Major. Jude was extremely nervous and excited at the same time. One thing she promised herself was that she wouldn't let them change her. They drove up to the G-Major parking lott and and Wally parked the car. They all got out and Jude linked arms with Wally on one side of her and Kyle on the other side. Jamie just walked in back of them. As soon as she walked in she was greeted by Georgia and EJ in the lobby.

Georgia: "Well if it isn't our very own Instant Star." Jude smiled and hugged her then EJ.
EJ: "Now Jude, there were other contestants on the show, Eden for example, who are more suited to be a popstar.." The boys rolled their eyes.
Jude: "Well, I'm not a pop star, I'm a song writer.." She shrugged and Jamie nodded.
Georgia: "That's why we picked you, your songs can move people. So who are these boys right here?" She nodded to Wally, Kyle and Jamie. Jude smiled.
Jude: "Their basically my best friends. This is Jamie, Kyle, and that's Wally." She said pointing out to them. Kyle held his hand out for Georgia to shake.
Kyle: "We're her people." She took his hand and chuckled.
Georgia: "Funny kids.. So listen Jude, I've got you partnered up with a great producer. I think your songwriting will be a thousand times better if possible with him."
Jude: "Who is it? Tim Armstrong from Rancid?" She grinned widely. Georgia shook her head no.
Kyle: "Billy Joe from Greenday?" Kyle asked impatiently. Georgia smiled.
Georgia: "I was thinking more like Tom Quincy." Jude and the guys jaws dropped. Then they all looked at each other then back at Georgia and started laughing.
EJ: "What's so funny?" Then Jude realized that they weren't kidding and stopped laughing, she hit Wally causing them to stop too.
Jude: "Wh- What? Little Tommy Q from Boys Attack?" She said, while Wally and Kyle chuckled again, Jude shot them a glare.
Wally: "Sorry." He mumbled. Jude rolled her eyes.
Georgia: "I understand his reputation, and he's in and out of the tabloids.. But he's really grown as a writer." Jamie snorted causing Georgia to look at him.
Jamie: "Pah- Lease! He was in a boy band! He's little Tommy Q from Boy's attack! He used to shake his butt for a living!" He yelled incredulously while Kyle laughed.
Jude: "And really lame.. Come on, you can't be serious? Little Tommy Q?" Then they all heard a voice and turned around. There was Tom Quincy himself.
Tommy: "First, I'm here because Georgia is a friend. I could care less about you or your wack contest... Second, the name is Tom Quincy, and don't you ever call me Little Tommy Q again." He said a little harsher then intended. Wally turned to Georgia in shock who just shrugged.
Jude: "Sorry." He shrugged it off. Then he pointed to the studio.
Tommy: "Why dont you show me what you got?" She nodded and they all went into the studio. That's where they met Kwest. Georgia pointed to Kwest.
Georgia: "Jude, meet Kwest. He'll be your sound engineer. Kwest, this is Jude, our new Instant Star." Kwest smiled and held out his hand and Jude shook it.
Kwest: "I've heard you on the show before. Your voice is amazing. You'll be making hit records in no time." Jude smiled.
Jude: "Thanks Kwest." He nodded and then looked at Kyle, Wally and Jamie.
Kwest: "Famous for a day and you've already got a crew of loyal followers? Can the studio even fit all these people?" He chuckled. She laughed and pointed to them.
Jude: "There like my best friends, this is Jamie, Kyle, and that's Wally." They all shook hands. Tom then interrupted.
Tom: "Well the booth is set up, so go right in Jude." She nodded and walked in with her guitar and sat down on one of the stools. Everyone else sat down.
Kwest: "Ready when you are, Jude." Jude nodded and started singing.
Jude:

"At least I've got my trusted friends,
we're on the road alone again"

She sang, then was stopped by Tommy, he talked through the microphone.
Tommy: "You wanna stop your hurting my ears." She gaped at him while Wally glared.
Jude: "Ex.. Excuse me?" She questioned. Tommy rolled his eyes and entered the booth.
Tom: "You won a contest with this? This is boring. Lets start over." He grabbed a guitar.
Tommy: "Pick up the tempo, straight quarters at the bottom, sing." They started playing and she sung the lyrics.
Tommy: "Okay these lyrics need work.. Who's we?" Jude nodded towards her friends.
Jude: "My best friends." She smiled and they tried to smile back, annoyed with Tom.
Tom: "No one cares about your friends Jude. They care about you. These lyrics, this song needs work.. Do you have anything else I could possibly work with?" He asked.
Wally and Kyle shook their heads while Jamie sighed. She would not have anyone changing her. But maybe Tom was being annoying to test her.
Jude: "Yeah, it's called Let me fall, here's the chorus." He nodded and she started playing.

"Let me rise, let me crawl
Let me leave
I wanna lose myself, I'm not afraid to lose it all
Let me break, let me fall
Cause I'll get back up again if you let me fall"

Tommy shook his head and she rolled her eyes.
Tommy: "The lyrics could use some work. And you need to speed up the tempo a little, how about this.." He started playing the guitar faster and sung.

"Let me rise, let me fall
Let me breathe
I wanna lose control, I'm not afraid to lose it all
Let me break, let me crawl
Cause I'll get back up again if you let me fall"

He sang. She didn't want to admit it, but it did sound better. Soon they began bonding over music and he was actually an okay guy, they could possibly become friends. Kwest was nice and funny and so was Georgia and EJ. So far so good.. She stayed in the studio until about seven, when Georgia said she could leave so Wally drove her home so she could get ready for her date with Jake.

Alright so please review! This is just the beginning but trust me it gets better. Thanks for reading and, please Review :D
