Things couldn't get any better for Julia Andrew, the newest addition to the Jump Street team. She enjoys going undercover in high schools and gets along very well with her new colleagues, especially Tom Hanson who quickly became her best friend.
But...
Tom and I didn't speak to eachother the few days that followed our argument at Doug's place. I practically didn't see him at all ever since actually. We just kind of came across eachother at Jump Street, that's all. We would occasionally say 'Hi' to one another when comig face to face but nothing more than that. I wasn't too sure what was in his head, I mean he didn't seem to be that upset anymore. I was still mad at him though. I was terribly disappointed he had thought I cheated on him, and espacially with Doug. Like, how could this even cross his mind ? Of course I really loved Doug, but obviously not like that. Plus, I would've never done such thing to Tom, and Doug most definitely wouldn't have either. This whole thing saddened me actually, because I really thought Tom knew me better than that. I thought he knew me better than anyone, but it turned out I was completely wrong. I felt insulted, and in a way it suited me not to have to talk to him for now, although I knew I'd have to eventually. Fortunately, my assignment kept me busy and prevented me from worrying too much about it. Speaking of which, it looked like I was finally starting to get somewhere with the case I was working on. I still wasn't anywhere near busting anyone, but against all odds, Helena, the girl I was supposed to get informations from, was slowly beginning to open up to me, and I was now positive I'd be able to get her to speak. It was only a matter of time.
Anyway, today was Sunday and I had to hurry because I was supposed to show up at Judy's little party at 1pm and it was already 12:30. I was planning on wearing a pair of shorts with a simple t-shirt and a pair of sneakers because I didn't really feel like making efforts to dress up today, but that was before I realized said pair of shorts didn't fit anymore. Like, not at all. I hadn't noticed until now, but apparently I had gained weight already and it was such a slap in the face.
Urgh. As if I needed a reminder of my pregnancy right now.
Since I was literally turning into a whale, I figured wearing a dress was the best, if not the only option I got. Just when I said I wouldn't dress up, I ended up picking the first dress I found in my closet and putting it on before rushing to my car. Well, maybe looking good would make it easier once in front of Tom ? I highly doubted it, however if it were not hope, the heart would break as they say.

Judging by all the cars parked in front of Judy's apartment building, a lot of people were already there when I arrived. I stiffened when one car in particular caught my eye. A blue Mustang.
Shit. Tom was already there.
I gulped and immediately started feeling nervous. I was intending to talk to him while we were here and I wasn't sure I was ready for it because I still really feared his reaction. Pressing my thoughts to the back of my head, I took a deep breath before making my way to meet up with everybody.

After we ate, I stood aside all by myself with a glass of lemonade in my hand while pretty much everyone else was playing games or chatting. There weren't a lot of people I knew and for some reason, I had the impression of sticking out like a sore thumb. Besides, I wasn't in a party mood. I had problems to deal with and I could barely think of anything else, so I prefered to just stay in a corner and let people have fun without me.
