Chapter Twenty Six: Friends

Everyone was up on the school roof. It was a time to get together and see the fireworks go off. Everyone of them gathered around, save for Jude... he would have reluctantly gone to see but he had work.

It was still some time before the fireworks would light up the sky, so the only thing to see was the stars.

"Hey guys, remember the day both our groups joined into one?" Jace asked. "I remember like it was yesterday." Lexi said before everyone thought back to that day.

At the Ice Cream Bar, Jude was serving some drinks when we finally got some time off to take a break. Melody joined him as the both had a quick drink. "Hey Jude? If you don't mind me asking, how did you get mixed up with everyone there?"

"That's a long story so strap in." Jude said before he started to speak.

3 years ago...

A Jude with shorter hair chose to sit alone during lunch. "Hey Jude, did you really think you could just run away from all of us?" His classmates approached him. These people were Abby, Malcom, and Jude's ex girlfriend Tori.

"That was the plan... What do you want?" The loner asked. "To be friends with you... we all clicked back in class and I don't want that to be a class only thing." Abby said with a smile.

"You're cheery... I hate that." Jude told Abby while he stared at his food. "Same old Jude, hates everyone and is always sulking." Tori said before Jude looked at her with a learing glare. That glare sent chills down their spines and what scared them was his cold voice as he spoke.

"Nobody told you to come here Victoria, so I suggest you piss off before you piss me off even further."

"Hey man, why don't we all chill? I'm Malcom and I'm willing to be your friend." Malcom said with his classic smile.

"Come on, please." Abby said before the loner caved. "Fine, I'll hang out with you guys."

14 months later

"Okay, all I'm saying is we try some crazy game show thing for our videos." A more colourful Vanessa suggested to Jace and Johnny.

"That's gonna be a problem." Jace and Johnny said in unison. "I got some rap battles that I have to deal with." Johnny told Vanessa.

"And I'm Rae's boyfriend now so my time is gonna be crunched." Jace said as he rubbed the back of his head.

"You guys are no fun. How's our channel and website gonna survive?" Vanessa moaned. "Chill, we'll be there for the weekend." Jace said.

"It is the weekend." The girl pointed out. "Okay, we'll be here as soon as we can." Johnny said before running off.

"Later Nessa." Jace said before running off to meet up with his girlfriend.

"Looks like it's back to the Freezing Rinx for me... those asshats started this and now I'm the one who bothers to make an effort. Might as well upload that backup plan." Vanessa said to herself before leaving.

Elsewhere on the school roof...

"Okay Lexi, you've been our friend for two months. It's time to see if you're willing to stay with us." Abby said with a devilish smirk.

Jude got along well with Malcom and Abby in the past year and he even managed to get back to a friendly level with Tori. Lexi joined the group after transferring to the school and she clicked with them easily... all of them except Jude. She felt like he hated her since he kept avoiding her but Abby got so close to him that she knew the guy like the back of her hand.

She knew Jude wasn't being a jerk to her. That was because Jude had a huge crush on her. Abby kept telling him to tell her but he kept refusing.

Right now they were testing to see if Lexi was going to stay with them and she was on her final test. Jude walked up to her after eating an onion and he belched in her face. The smell made her choke but she gave a thumbs up.

"You've officially been able to handle our craziness, now we know you're staying." Abby smiled before hugging her friend.

"Okay, it's still gonna take a while with Jude because I think I only scratched the surface." Lexi smiled. "Honey, you have no idea." Abby said before she chose to back off.

Jude pulled Abby away from the group.

"What the heck are you doing?" Jude asked. "What do you mean?" Abby asked pretending to be confused. "Don't think I didn't see you getting close to her. I called dibs remember?" Jude said.

"Well she might like me. Besides, you haven't made a move in the past two months." Abby told her friend. "Like you? Yeah as a friend, she's straight Abby. Between the both of us I'm the only one with a chance at getting her."

"As if." And like that a whole argument spiraled between the two. The others left the two on the roof.
