Chance Encounters - Jude tag Kye

[Jude Sheffield]

Jude didn't stop her blabbering even as Kye assured her that he wasn't going to tell anyone. "And what if they didn't watch the show and then someone showed them like lost clips of it or something. It is really going to be so embarrassing." Her cheeks were heating up and she sucked on her milkshake. Or at least what was left of it.

Her foot was tapping rapidly on the floor as she thought of the countless of scenarios she might have to endure once word got out that she was indeed Sunny Jude, the singing sun from The Kiddy Carnival. Then her mind started to sing the alphabets backwards to calm herself down until Kye mentioned the play she had managed to snag. She stopped sucking on her milkshake, blinking at her new friend.

"Thanks...I got the part of Sandy. That was completely unexpected but I'm grateful for it." She slowly smiled. Her foot tapping was slowly decreasing and she even laughed when he mentioned the song. "Well I love the song. I sing it to myself sometimes just because. But it gets kind of grating when other people sing it to me thinking it's funny that I have a boy's name or that my parents were real Beatles fanatics. My brother's name came from the song Johnny B. Goode." She giggled, taking a small bite out of her bagel.

She had calmed down considerably from her previous outrage. "You really are lucky. Kye's a pretty unforgettable name." Jude admitted. "But technically Jude's an unforgettable name too. But not in a unique nobody has that name and nobody's sang it in a song way." She leaned back on the chair, ruffling the back of her hairas she picked at her bagel. "Your sister's Landon right?" Jude asked, looking at Kye. "I don't have any classes with her but I've seen her around. Never got to talking to her though. She seems super busy with other people most of the time," the blond sophomore grinned shyly. And it was also partly because she was way too shy to walk up to such confident characters like Landon.

But today had been different. She had wanted to just come up to the first person she saw and talk to them and luckily, Kye was there. At least they had school in common. And the show, she supposed, but that was a bad commonality in her opinion.

"Yeah, but its a kids show," Kye counted. "I don't think anyone would blame you for that, but I guess you're right," he said, imagining if he'd been the one on the kids show. He probably wouldn't have wanted anyone knowing either. "But I promise I won't tell anyone, so don't worry about it," he assured her.

"Oh wow, so you're like the lead...that's great," Kye said. "You'll have to let me know when the play is," he told her, thinking that he'd like to watch her as Sandy. She was completely adorable and Kye was finding himself quite enamored. He of course knew that he'd never have a chance...after all she was gorgeous and he was well, him. He was still surprised that she was talking to him at all but she did seem way less conceited than most girls that looked like her. In fact she wasn't full of herself at all. It was quite amazing to Kye.

"Yeah, Landon," he said. "Yeah, I don't think its that she's two busy, she just gets...distracted a lot," he told her. His sister was all over the place. She moved so fast that sometimes Kye had a hard time keeping up. "You're probably like her if you talked to her though, she's pretty awesome for a sister. I mean, we're like really close," he said. "We kind of moved around a bunch so its like while everyone else always changed we kind of got used to being on out own," he shrugged. While they mostly had stayed in the same region, they'd moved around a lot, mainly every time her mom had switched boyfriends so they'd still switched schools quite a bit.

Kye finished off his coffee and smiled at Jude, wondering if she'd be this friendly to him once he saw her around school. "Do you have any plans for the rest of the day?" He asked. "I don't really have much. I mean I have my assignment, but I can probably work on that tomorrow," he offered. He was sort of going out on a limb...doing something he never really did before, mostly because he wanting to continue hanging out with Jude and now that they were reaching the end of their snack he was afraid she'd go away.

At Kye's reassurance, Jude breathed out a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Kye." She squeezed his hand and finished the last piece of her bagel. "You have no idea how much I need this to be kept a secret." She was thinking about Eddie and what he would think if he found out about her having starred in a completely embarrassing kids show. At least in her opinion anyway only because she had starred in it and had worn ridiculous costumes and pranced around like a little fairy.

"Uhuh. I am. You really should come. I'll get you and your sister a ticket as well," Jude smiled, a little bit of proud of herself for having landed the lead role her first time in a new place. Now she was going to see three familiar faces in the crowd. Well five if she counted her parents. But they've been attending every single play she had ever been in so that went without saying.

"I'm sure if Landon is anything like you, I'd get along with her too." And she would too. Kye was such a sweet guy and friendly and trustworthy. If his sister was like him then she was pretty sure she would like her just as much as she liked Kye. More opportunities for getting friends, right? Yes, she believed so.

Kye was finishing his coffee just as she was finishing her shake, which was kind of a signal for them to either finish the conversation and go their separate ways or continue the conversation elsewhere. And he did have his assignment. She didn't want to get in his way of that. "I actually don't have any other plans," she admitted. Ever since she had settled into the new house, she hadn't made any plans except to see Eddie but he hadn't said anything about meeting so she supposed she was free. She was sure Eddie would be proud of her for acquiring a friend!

"Why don't I help you look for the book for your assignment?" She suggested, picking the paper he had dropped on the table earlier with the title of the book. Looking at him expectantly, a little smile crossed her face. It looked to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
