Chapter 2

Tommy's POV

As the day slowly progressed, Tommy kept thinking about Jude.

'O.k., now I think I have officially lost my mind. I can't stop thinking about Jude. Why does she have to be so beautiful? Aww, this is driving me insane. No wait she's driving me insane. I have to do something about this…'

His thoughts were interrupted by Jude coming into his fifth period class.

"Hi, Mrs. Anderson. Ms. Moore asked me to come and get the books she asked to borrow from you."

Mrs. Anderson smiled as she said, "Sure, but you can't possibly carry all of them by yourself, let me get someone to help you." She looked around the room and her eyes landed on Tommy. "Yes, Mr. Quincy, could you help… um what is your name dear?"

"Its Jude," Jude replied politely.

"Ah yes, Tommy would you please help Jude carry these books to Ms. Moore's room?"

"Sure," Tommy replied, happy to be with Jude even for just a little bit.

"And after you're done helping Jude, you can go to lunch early, since it won't be long before the bell rings." Mrs. Anderson said cheerfully.

Tommy walked to the front of the classroom and grabbed the majority of the books and Jude looked at him and smiled. Tommy thought that had to be the most beautiful site he had ever seen.

"Well Harrison, lead the way." Tommy said once out in the hallway.

Jude laughed at his comment, "Hey, you're the senior, shouldn't you know your way around here by now."

Tommy started laughing. "Yeah I guess you're right."

"So why don't you lead the way Quincy?"

'Hell Quincy, be honest with yourself, you just want to see the 'other half' of her. Well think of something quick.' Tommy thought for a moment, then said, "But I had Ms. Moore my freshman year, I don't remember how to get to her classroom."

"Sure Quincy," Jude said smiling, "You know forgetting things is a sure sign that your getting old. Did you know that?'

"Are you calling me old, Harrison?" Tommy asked shocked.

Jude rolled her eyes and sarcastically replied, "Of course not. Why would I do something like that?"

Tommy was about to say something when he noticed they were just outside Ms. Moore's classroom. They walked in and placed the books on the desk Ms. Moore had asked them to place the books on.

Jude POV

Jude just smiled at Tommy while he was setting down the stack of books he carried.

'Wow, those look heavy.' Jude thought happily, 'But he seemed to have no problems carrying them down the hallways. I bet he has some strong muscles under his shirt. No duh Jude, he has to have muscles he is quarterback.'

Tommy noticed Jude staring at him and smiled, "And why are you smiling?"

"Um…no reason," Jude answered quickly. Embarrassed to have been caught staring at him.

"Well thank you both," Ms. Moore said as she looked through the books. "Jude you can go to lunch early, since you ran that errand for me."

"Thanks," Jude said as she turned to grab her stuff.

As they were walking out of the classroom, Jude was still embarrassed about being caught staring at Tommy.

"You never answered my question," Tommy said as they started walking towards the cafeteria.

"What question was that?" Jude asked.

"Don't play dumb with me, Harrison," Tommy said playfully. "You know all too well what I'm talking about."

"O.k., so maybe I know what you're talking about and yes I did answer it."

"Sure, if you say you did," Tommy said as they reached the cafeteria. He held open the door for Jude.

"Why think you, Mr. Quincy."

"Your welcome, but don't get used to it."

After getting their food and sitting down, the bell rang and shortly after that the cafeteria was flooded with people. Sadie and Kwest joined Jude and Tommy at the table.

"Why are you out so early?" Sadie asked Jude.

"Well I ran an errand for Ms. Moore and she let me out early."

"That's cool."

"Hey, what are y'all doing after school today?" Kwest asked.

"Jude and I have tryouts," Sadie said happily.

"For what?" He asked.

"Cheerleading," Sadie said happily.

Tommy's POV

'Oh god, Jude in a short tight skirt. If it was hard to stay away from her now, it will be even harder if she makes it. What do I mean if, she'll probably make because Sadie is her sister and I heard Jude is better than Sadie at cheerleading.'

Tommy thought as he quietly ate his lunch. He would have thought about Jude in her cheerleading outfit more, but there would have been consequences. And he had just notice Jude talking to some guys.

"When?" He heard Jude asking one of the guys.

Tommy curious to know what she was talking about asked, "When what?"

Jude, Sadie, and Kwest just laughed at Tommy for being spaced out.

"Tommy, let me catch you up on what's going on," Sadie said after catching her breath. "This is Jude's band: SME. And Speiderman got them a gig at the Vinyl Palace. And Jude was asking when it was."

"Oh, o.k." Tommy said felling just a bit embarrassed.

"Come on T, keep up." Kwest said.

"Well it's Saturday at 8. So be there, Blondie. And don't forget about practice this week. From 6 to 8. O.k.?" Spied said.

"Alright, I'll be there." Jude said as the guys walked off.

"You know Jude; dad is going to be excited about this." Sadie said.

"Yeah I know; I'm excited about it too."

"Well you know I'll be there, right?"

"Yeah and thanks Sades." Jude said as she looked at Tommy and Kwest. "Hey I got an idea why don't y'all come."

"Yeah, it'll be fun. And after Jude's performance, we could go out to eat." Sadie said excitedly.

"Sure, I'll come." Kwest said happy to be going somewhere with Sadie.

"Cool. What about you Tommy?" Jude asked.

"I have to see what I'm doing. I think I'm busy on Saturday." Tommy said jokily.

"Tommy, you know as well as I do; you're not doing anything on Saturday." Kwest said with a smirk on his face.

"Fine, I'd be more than happy to go see you play Jude." Tommy said as the bell rang. "See y'all later."

"Bye." Jude, Sadie, and Kwest said as they all went their separate ways.
