Chapter Five

The next week flew by very quickly. Surprisingly, Jude had found herself being able to relax and actually enjoy the mansion. Sadie, of course, has been enjoying her time very much as well, perhaps a little too much if you asked Jude. Her and Tommy had been getting along quite well, and were currently spending most of their time together to the great disappointment of the other girls. The show was officially starting tomorrow, and Jude could feel the tension beginning to form between the competing women. Jude also hadn't talked to Tommy since that night in her room.

Jude had decided to try to put that night behind her, no matter how much she was attracted to him. Just because he was good looking was not the right reason to go against the facts; and the facts were that Tom Quincy was a player. She had known that ever since Boyz Attack started, and kissing him once didn't mean that anything has changed. In fact, if anything it proves that she was right all along.

Sure, Tommy had attempted to get her alone to talk, but Jude just made some excuse to get away (you know…she had to work on that…thing). So after a few tries Tommy no longer sought her out, just like she knew would happen. As much as he much as he wanted her, he wasn't desperate. Not when he had a plethora of girls he could choose from that actually wanted to be near him.

Jude entered Sadie's room just as she was getting ready to go down for the informational meeting. All it included was sitting in an uncomfortable chair for a long period of time, listening to boring rules everyone had to follow while staying in the mansion. Not something Jude could say she was looking forward to.

"Why are you getting all dressed up for a stupid rules meeting?" Jude looked at Sadie through her bathroom mirror. Sadie returned her look with a gaze that said it all.

"Hello?! I have to look my best at all times if I'm going to have any chance at winning this thing, although…" she smirked to her reflection, "I already think I'm going to win, but I still have to make all the other girls wish they were me."

Jude rolled her eyes at her sister's cockiness. Sometimes there were parts of Sadie that never stopped annoying Jude.

"Since when are you so sure you're going to win this thing?"

"Have you seen the other girls? I mean, come on. They're not Tom's style at all. And plus, Tom and I have been spending a lot of time together, I think he likes me," she stated with a kid's smile. Jude gave her a sarcastic glance.

"You think?"

"Well it sure looks like it, don't you agree?" Jude shook her head slightly, mentally cracking a smile at how bad Sadie was at catching sarcasm.

Nevertheless, Jude didn't want to admit how nauseating it was to picture the two of them together. Partially because of Sadie's not-so-discrete skills in flirting that could make anyone roll their eyes, and partially because when you think about it they're actually quite good for each other. Tommy might be a womanizer, but Sadie was a professional at using guys to her advantage.

"Yeah I have to admit it does," she told Sadie reluctantly, tiny traces of jealousy hidden beneath her tone. Sadie turned her attention back to the mirror.

"Which shirt do you think Tom would like better?" Sadie asked holding out a blue off-the-shoulder shirt and a pink tank top.

"Well honestly I think you should wear the blue one."

"Really? But Tom's favorite color is pink," she replied with confidence. Jude couldn't help but smile at that comment.

"Are you serious? Where'd you hear that?" she asked laughing. The thought of any man, other than Mason, having pink as a favorite color just wasn't right.

"What are you laughing about? You can't possibly know him better than me," she scoffed.

"No, but I mean come on. How many guys do you know like the color pink? I haven't seen the guy in one pink shirt yet."

"True...," Sadie answered looking back and forth between both shirts, "I think I will go with the blue one, thanks." She then rushed into the bathroom to change into the rest of her outfit.

"Yeah…no problem…" she said to a no longer existent Sadie.

Entering her own room, Jude waited for Sadie to finish getting ready while contemplating the possibilities of her own sister winning the whole competition. Sadie has a point. She does have a very good chance at winning, although I think her biggest competitor's probably going to be Rachel. But he spends all of his free time with Sadie. What's up with that? I mean, he kisses me, and then goes for my sister? Typical guy. I shouldn't have given him a chance to do that to me. Oh well, I don't have to worry about that now, it's over and done. Better now and let me enjoy my vacation then when the cameras show up. That could be bad.

Sadie entered, interrupting her thoughts. She was wearing the tight blue shirt that went over one arm with white Capri's and sandals. And I don' t think I have to worry about him going after me, when he's going to be dating girls that look like that.

"You ready to go? We don't want to be late getting down there," Sadie told Jude. Jude nodded her head, pushing out all thoughts of Tommy.

"Yeah, let's go."

The meeting was being held in the conference room. The orientation was last night so all the girls knew each other and had a chance to walk around the mansion. However now that the show was about to start, the girls who weren't going to be on the show had specific rules to follow as to where they were allowed to go at certain parts of the day, so that they wouldn't be on camera.

Both girls walked in and took a seat next to Rachel and her sister, Haley. Even though Rachel was probably going to be competition soon, the four girls had been getting along very well during the past week.

"Hey you guys! Sadie you look great! No pink I see…" Rachel said smiling. Sadie laughed.

"Yeah Jude talked me into wearing blue."

"Well it looks great on you," Haley commented.

"Thanks," Sadie started, then turned her attention toward Tom, who was walking toward them. "Hey Tom! How's it goin'?"

"It's going," he laughed. "Wow Sadie, you look great. I love your shirt," he said with honesty. Sadie returned his complement with a smile, for the one time in her life praising her sister's fashion choices.

"Yeah, Jude picked out the shirt for me, said I wore too much pink," she laughed.

Tom for the first time looked over at Jude, who was wearing a black rolling stones shirt with blue jeans. She wasn't as dressed up as much as Sadie, but in Tom's opinion, looked even better. Not that he was about to say anything about it.

"Well, it looks good. Nice seeing you ladies," he said smiling one last time before departing.

Haley sat staring at Sadie. She had brown hair, like her sister, but was straight instead of Rachel's wavy locks . Her eyes were a misty gray, blending in with her skin tone.

"Wow, I think he likes you Sades. He didn't even acknowledge any of us but you," Haley stated in observation. Sadie couldn't help but crack another smile, basking in her own conceited glory.

"Yeah there's a possibility he might like me."

Jude just sat still and quiet, choosing not to comment on Sadie's self-centered attitude. She couldn't help but feel a little jealousy flow through her. Jude knew that she didn't want to be with Tommy, but nevertheless seeing them together was still a different experience. Sure she had seen them together before but he, to Sadie's pleasure, didn't even talk to Jude this time. It's what you wanted Jude…so stop complaining.

Meanwhile…

Tom walked away from the table before he went crazy.He looked back over to the table at Jude who was sitting there laughing at something that Rachel had just said. God, she's so beautiful. Ok Tom, you know you can't have her. Maybe that's what is making me so attracted to her. I always want what I can't have…typical Tom. But I might as well get used to being turned down…because she sure is hell isn't going to let me in.

Tommy made his rounds to all the other tables, making small talk with all the girls; never failing an opportunity to give out one of his million dollar smiles. Then when it was time to start the meeting he went up to the front of the room and got everyone's attention.

"Thank you all for coming, I hope this show is going to be a good experience for all of us. I would like to now hand this over to the producers of the show, who will go over the all the boring stuff," he said getting a small chuckle from the audience.

Tommy made his way down to his seat and tried to listen to everything they were saying, but found it hard. He kept looking over at Sadie's table; however, finding a different face and regretting his actions when he caught Sadie's eye instead of Jude's. Sadie smiled and gave a little wave. Tommy just smiled back, before turning his attention back to the speaker.

"Ok now this past week has been a lot of fun, but now there has to be some rules for these next couple of weeks," he began, which got a lot of whines from some of the girls. The producer just laughed. "Yeah we all don't like em'. But ok here's how it's going to go. We'll start filming tomorrow and will film for 5 days, which is how it will go until there aren't that many girls left. We'll pretty much be filming almost everything in the west wing of the mansion during the day, where all the contestants will be. It's mandatory that you be present in the west wing so that we can get shots of you. All ladies that are not participating must be in the east wing. We don't want to film you guys, no offense," he laughed, "But it's just not a part of the show. Anyway, during the day you'll just hang out like normal, Tom will talk to you guys and mingle. Then at night this week, each night there will be a group date. The groups will be in fives which have already been picked. The rest of you will just stay here at the mansion and do whatever you like. There will only be cameras in select rooms, such as the common room, the living room, and all of the surrounding rooms. The kitchen and patio will not be filmed at night, so non-participants will be able to go in those areas. Then after we're done filming you will have two days with no cameras at all, and then it's elimination day…"

Jude had tuned him out after that much. Man this is so boring, I cannot wait to get out of here. I want this stupid show to be over with already. I already know who's going to win…

Finally after the meeting was over, Rachel and Sadie decided to go out to do some last minute shopping before the show started. Because you know they don't have enough clothes already, Jude thought. She was heading up to her room when she ran into Haley. Haley had become kind of like Jude's best friend the past few days. They got along well, and Jude was able to talk to her about a lot of things. She even told her about Tommy kissing her.

"Hey Jude, how are you doing?"

"Ehh, a little tired. I don't know what it's going to be like tomorrow when the cameras start rolling."

"Yeah I know what you mean. It must be weird for you to see Tommy on TV with your sister too, after what happened," Haley intruded.

"Yeah just a little bit, but I mean, he's a guy. And he's the guy all the girls want, so what can you do? It's not like it was going anywhere…" Jude said trailing off. Haley looked at her with curiosity.

"Hey…you like him, don't you?" she questioned with a knowing look.

"Whoa, don't go too far I never said that…" Jude defended.

"Yeah, but you didn't deny it either…" Haley pointed out.

"Ok well I'm denying it now, is that better?" she said walking away toward her room. Haley didn't hesitate in calling after her.

"Yeah, but try meaning it next time!" she said smiling. Turning around Haley succumbed to returning to her own room, lost in thought. She likes him, I know it; even if she doesn't. All I need to do now is find out the other side of the story…
