'Jude?' Tommy just stopped and stared at the beautiful girl in front of him. She sat a shy look covering her face. She smiled unwillingly at him and stood up. Tommy couldn't move he was in shock. She looked so different, more mature and gorgeous.

'Hey Tom' Jude played with the hem of her shirt in obvious discomfort in front of him. If only he would stop staring at her. She looked towards his feet rather than at his face. She wasn't sure why she was so nervous. It was like she wanted to know his reaction but worried about what it would be. She had to stop this why did she care what he thought. Damn those dazzling eyes.

'So how come you're here so early?' Jude attempted to close the awkward silence that had filled the room.

Tommy shook his to focus and answered. 'Just getting some err work finished.' He was still staring he knew, he just couldn't help it.

'Need a hand? I have a few hours to kill till school.' Jude smiled forcedly and made her way past Tommy, intent on keeping the subject on any thing else.

Tommy followed as she headed for studio he had been working in. she had already settled her self down in one of the chairs at the soundboard. 'So what you been working on?'

'Not much, some crap TV theme for Darrius.' Tommy took the seat next to her. 'I err like your hair.' He said quickly then glanced to the board. 'Its really pretty.' He looked back to see her staring at him trying not to laugh. 'What?'

'Nothing' she smirked. 'Thanks Quincy, I felt like a change. So do a suit the blonde?' she batted her eyelashes jokingly and immediately the tense atmosphere surrounding them broke.

'Will at least the stereo type any way?' Tommy laughed back. Jude punched him lightly on the arm. 'Violent much in the morning!' Tommy feigned being hurt. 'You set yourself up for that one girl.' He continued to laugh softly. Jude loved the way he threw his head back animatedly. He looked pretty good himself this morning.

'Well then you should of known what you would get if you said it.' She turned away from him and continued to fiddle with some thing on the board. Tommy spun her chair quickly in to him. They sat face to face, knees gently grazing. Tommy leaned in and whispered in a husky voice, stroking a piece of her bright blonde hair.

'Violence never solves a problem…but now I know you like it rough.' Jude shoved him back quickly sending her chair away from his. She blushed unwillingly. He laughed at her embarrassment.

'Your such a man.' Jude regained herself and shuffled back with her chair.

'And you love me for it.' Tommy

The rest of the morning flew by with the pair throwing endless insults playfully at each other. Jude wasn't sure when the jokes ended and the flirting began but it was funny either way. She loved spending time like this with Tommy. He cut out of G major to drop her off at school and now she was sat in English paying next to no attention to what was being said.

'Miss Harrison.' Jude snapped her head up quickly from her journal on the desk. 'What's your thoughts on this?' the tall woman in front of her looked expectantly at Jude tapping her foot.

'Erm...' Jude actually had no idea what was going on. She really should learn from past incidents like this a pay attention. Damn karma was out to get her. Every single time, she never knew the answer so why did she always ask. Miss Smith the old English teacher was till tapping her foot patiently. Jude looked over to Speid her friend and band mate for help. He just looked away trying not to laugh. 'I think…I thought…I have no idea!' Jude decided to just give in she had lost this one.

'Well Jude if you paid more attention to this class instead of day dreaming maybe you would.' The woman turned to the rest of the class and continued to teach, constantly glaring in Jude's direction. Jude slipped her journal away to at least try and keep up.

The bell rang loudly, the students in the classroom gathered their things and left. Jude followed suit slowly. She was in the main corridor when she saw a familiar face. Know she had a choice to make. Catch up and talk to him like nothing had happened. Like they were as they always had been and he hadn't slammed the door in her face only the other day. Or she could avoid him and wait for him to come round. Damn her need to repair things between them. She hated fighting with any one let alone him.

'Jamie!' She shouted down the hallway. Jamie turned and saw who was and immediately turned back round and continued to walk away. 'Jamie please wait!' Jude ran to catch up with him. 'Looked I'm sorry Jamie please what's going on?'

Jamie stopped and turned to face the blonde girl running towards him. Wait blonde. Jude, she looked so different. Beautiful but not the feisty slightly geek girl he knew. Not the rebel punk rock angry chick. She looked just like one of them, one of them girls everybody wants to be. The popular pretty girls. The girls Jude hated.

'Jude I don't want to talk to you. Is my ignoring you not a big enough clue?' Jamie tried to keep his voice steady. People were already looking at them.

Jude stopped in front of him slightly hurt. 'Jamie I know things were weird when I left and I'm sorry but it's us Jamie you and me. We're best friends, that hasn't changed.' Jude looked up at him with sad eyes. She had changed. But that wasn't it she was still Jude at heart he knew that. It wasn't her fault at all. He hated the way she made him feel. The way he loved her but she never loved him. The way she always ruined everything. Jamie felt himself getting angry again. Just like when she was at his door. He couldn't stand to look at her. He felt bad she had no idea. Not really but he couldn't help but blame her.

'Every thing had changed Jude. You know what I thought I was over you. I couldn't wait for you to get back from tour and we could go back to being friends. I had a great summer, a new girlfriend. I missed you but I thought it would be fine. Then you were back and Shannon broke up with me because of you. Every one else can see it Jude but you. You're so mindless. I loved you and you never noticed. I told you and you ran away. We can't be us Jude, I cant be your friend.' Jamie was shouting now. Right in her face. People around them were staring and laughing. He saw the tears in her eyes.

Jude was angry now. How could he blame her for everything. Blame her for not loving him back, for breaking up him and Shannon. Who ever that was?

'Let me get this right, we're not friends because I turned you down.' Jude was shaking slightly she was angry but mostly confused and upset. It didn't help that most of the school was watching. She wouldn't cry, here, now. 'That's crap Jamie and you know it.'

'Whatever Jude, you say you haven't changed just look at your self. You've changed. You not the same girl I used to know. Now your just a…a slut!' Jamie didn't mean it. It was hard for him to say it but he wanted to hurt her like she had him.

Jude gave him one last look of hurt. She couldn't believe him. She he didn't mean it but he said it any way just to hurt her. Jude stormed away, pushing through the crowd of teenagers watching. They all stared at her, whispering behind their hands or just point blank laughing in her face. Great that's all she needed more people to tear at her and trash talk her. Just great! She made it to the main doors and slammed them behind her. At least she had the dramatic exit thing working for her.
