Chapter 4

Tommy's POV

'Wow, I can't wait to get to school and see Jude.' Tommy thought as he got out of bed. 'I can't believe we were texting 'till 12:30 last night.'

Tommy went through his morning routine thinking about Jude. 30 Minutes later he was ready and out the door. When he pulled up at school, he saw Kwest waiting for him.

'It figures, he would wait for me to get here.' Tommy though as he got out of his car.

"Hey T. How was your weekend?" Kwest said.

"It was great. How was yours?" Tommy replied

"Good. Did you have fun Saturday night with Jude?"

'I should totally joke with him.' Tommy grinned. "It was great. You totally missed the private after party that we had."

"Oh really, and what exactly went on during this 'private' after party?"

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Tommy teased.

"Come on, man. Tell me please."

Tommy laughed. "Nothing happened. I've only know Jude for like a week."

As he said that, Sadie and Jude pulled up. Kwest noticed how Tommy's smile grew when Jude got out of the car.

"Well you have to tell me about you and Sadie later." Tommy said as he walked off towards Jude.

Tommy walked up to Jude and smiled.

"Hey Jude."

"Hey Tommy." Jude greeted with a huge smile.

"Can I help you carry some of that?" Tommy asked after noticing Jude struggling with her gym bag and books.

"Sure." Jude said and handed Tommy her bag.

"What do you have in here, Harrison? Bricks?" Tommy joked.

"Hey," Jude hit him playfully, "It's all my cheerleading stuff and Sadie's."

"Why do you have Sadie's cheerleading stuff?"

"Because she didn't want to bring her own bag."

Tommy looked at Sadie and said "Using your big sister right and making Jude hold all your stuff, right Sadie?"

"Shut up, Tommy. I asked her politely to hold it."

"Calm down." Tommy said.

"Let's go, Tommy before she hurts you." Jude said.

"O.k., let's go." Tommy said as he grabbed her hand.

They walked off holding hands. Kwest looked at Sadie and shook his head.

Jude's POV  At Lunch

'Wow. Tommy's being so sweet. He's walked me to all my classes, so far.' Jude thought as she got her lunch and walked to the table where Sadie, Kwest and Tommy were. She noticed some girls shooting her some dirty go-to-hell looks. 'I hate people giving me looks like that. I wonder if it's because of Tommy.' Jude sat down and jus t stared at her food.

"…So are you two going out?" Jude heard Kwest ask.

"Not yet." Tommy replied with a smirk.

Sadie noticed Jude looked spaced out. "Jude, are you o.k.?" Sadie asked.

Tommy and Kwest looked at her waiting for an answer.

"I'm fine. It's just those girls keep giving me dirty go-to-hell looks. And I don't even know them." Jude replied.

"Hold on." Sadie said. She got up and walked over to the girls and started talking to them. Then after a few minutes, she comes back. "Ok they'll stop." Sadie said.

"Why would they start? I haven't done anything to them." Jude stated.

"You may not know it, but you did." Sadie said.

"And what would that be?" Tommy asked curiously.

"The answer is simple: you." Sadie replied.

"What? I don't understand." Jude said confused.

"Let me explain" Kwest said after catching on to what Sadie was talking about. "Jude, Tommy has been hanging out with you and not paying attention to other girls…"

"So they're jealous." Tommy interrupted.

"Yeah, pretty much." Sadie replied.

"Well the let's give them something to be jealous about." Tommy said before he leaned over and kissed Jude. Sadie and Kwest laughed.

When people saw Tommy kiss Jude, most looked on shocked. Tommy pulled away and smiled. Jude shook her head and laughed. Jude looked around and saw the girls glaring at her. She got up threw away her food and walked outside. A short while later, Jude heard Sadie call her. She turned around slowly.

"Jude, what happened?" Sadie asked even though she already knew the answer.

"It's just I hate people looking at me with hate, when they don't even know me."

"Jude, of course people are going to hate you. You're practically dating the hottest guy in school."

"I know and I really like Tommy, but I'm starting to think he's more trouble than he's worth." Jude said as tears came to her eyes.

"Sweetie, if you really like Tommy that it shouldn't matter what other people think."

"I know, Sades."

"Besides, you're a cheerleader and a rockstar, you can handle them."

"Thanks Sadie."
