Beneath the Badge

It's one of those somethings that have just been a little obvious since day one: that Jude belonged to Juno and Juno belonged to Jude. It didn't matter that the people around them constantly acted like pawns vying for either one of their attentions. Or that Jude's ideal way of showing he felt so strongly about Juno was not one she agreed with. It didn't even matter that where Jude was all chatty, outgoing and problematic to a fault, Juno was more reserved, timid and respectful. And it certainly didn't matter that since they met on their first day in junior school, they've been some sort of academic rivals, always fighting each other for first place or being forced to share it.

No. It was just that something you glimpsed and then turned back to view and saw clear as day: that the Head Prefects, no matter how stubborn they were, how immature and childish and hurtful they were towards one another, there was just that for them. One another.
