After she'd spend hours trying to console her cousin who was crying her eyes out,Sawyer finally decided it was time to sort out the mess her best friends had made.
"Okay!What the hell are you doing Jude?" Sawyer asked slamming his locker while he was taking his books out.
"Saw!What the hell!You almost slammed my nose!" said Jude rubbing his nose.
"Well,if you keep doing stupid things like that,you'd better hope I don't punch it!"
"What did I do?"
"Why the hell were you kissing Bethany last night?!Look,you can't hide anything from me,I am very well aware that you have feelings for Lydia."
Jude looked at her with big eyes, "What?!No,I don't have feelings for Lydia."
said Jude looking away.
Sawyer just quirked an eyebrow and kept staring at him.
Sighing heavily,Jude said, "Fine!
I like her,but she clearly doesn't like me.
How'd you find out anyway?"
"Let's just say,I have an antenna about this kind of stuff and can always sense who likes who.
Like,you like Lydia.
But why'd you have to kiss that slut?!"
"Look Saw,if you're gonna lecture me about kissing around people,you might as well lecture your precious cousin about it."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean,that Lydia kissed Damien!She clearly has no feelings for me.
So I'm not gonna sit over here and wait for her the rest of my life!" said Jude walking away furiously.
Leaving Sawyer shocked.
Walking up to her in the cafeteria,Sawyer caught Lydia's arm and sat her over to the nearest table.
"What the hell were you thinking that you kissed Damien!And why didn't you tell me?!" Sawyer hushed furiously at her.
" Oh that.
It was nothing Saw.
He kissed me.
It totally caught me off guard and I freaked and pulled back.
That's it."
"So you just HAPPENED to miss out on that pretty little detail while you cried your eyes out to me last night about Jude kissing Bethany?"
"I was too overcome by that to tell you .
Where'd you hear it from anyway?"
"JUDE, happened to tell me." Sawyer said,crossing her arms.
"WHAT!?He saw that?!"
"Yeah!
And he even happened to tell me that he wasn't gonna wait around for you."
"Wait,'wait around' what do you mean?" Lydia asked frowning.
"Oh come on!Are you that blind Lydie?He likes you!He clearly has feelings for you!
And everyone BUT YOU noticed!"
Lydia felt butterflies in her stomach hearing that.
Jude liked her?
Was it true?
Before she could daydream anymore,she saw him walking in to the cafeteria,
While her heart was supposed to do a somersault,she felt it breaking down when she saw Bethany walking along with him.
Hand in hand!
She felt so angry!
"Oh!I think he's proved the 'not waiting around' thing quite nicely."
Lydia said,getting up and walking towards the table where all the jocks were sitting.
Even though she could feel tears surging up her eyes,she forcefully tried blinking them back.
She caught hold of Damien's arm,who was sitting with a couple other jocks and pulled him up so that he was standing in front of her.
She got on her tiptoes and kissed him.
Her hands on his neck and hair,he was surprised but quickly put his arms around her waist,kissing her back.
"Damien,would you like to go to homecoming with me?" said Lydia,pulling back from the kiss,taking a deep breath.
"I'd love to!" said Damien kissing her again.
Sawyer,sat on the table,staring in awe at her cousin's stupidity.
Gosh!Lydia can be one helluva stubborn girl when she's mad.
She looked at Jude who was clenching his fists,staring madly at the two.
They briefly made eye contact,where she knew how bad Jude felt but right at the next turned around and stormed off.
"Just carry on with your stupid drama,both of you.I don't give a rat's ass anymore."
Sawyer said,flopping down next to Lydia who was sitting on her bed painting her nails,pretending as if nothing had happened.
"Well, you clearly would give a rat's ass about tonight right?" asked Lydia blowing at her nails.
"Of course!I can't wait to get you ready in that red dress I picked for you.
You're gonna look Uh-May-Zing!" said Sawyer sitting up and clapping her hands together.
