Jude had only been a resident of Lipton for a week and a half and already he'd made a couple of potential friends through a local chatroom. Today, he was supposed to be meeting one of the girls he'd spoken to, a pretty blonde named Adele, at the town square to be shown around the town. He wouldn't admit it off-hand, but Jude thought she was very cute and had a bit of a crush on her already. She definitely wasn't his type, that was for sure. He went for the very demure, artsy, nature-lovers. And this one...well she seemed like a firecracker. He smiled to himself as he woke up a good thirty minutes before his alarm. He lounged in his bed with his arms behind his head, staring at the peace signs and posters stuck to his ceiling. Most of them were original posters of bands from the 60's and 70's, the music he grew up on. He rolled out of his bed with a smile still plastered on his face. After grabbing his guitar he sat in his lounge pants for a while just strumming. A few lyrics came into his brain but he resisted writing them down at first. Then he grabbed a pen and his lyrics notebook from the nightstand. Flipping to a fresh page he sat the notebook aside and strummed out a few chords, his fingers fluidly changing keys. His still-boyish, sweet voice echoed around his room as he sang;

"I'm a lesson in vintage chic/a retro romeo bent on bellbottom'd knee/i see you in my sights, whisper your name to the sky/wonder what will happen when the past and present collide." His voice echoed as he sang, finishing the verse and writing it down in his notebook, suddenly blushing as he remembered who it was about.

Jude got up and quickly showered before spending a good twenty minutes blowing out his thick, ash brown hair. After he got it dry enough he stuck one of the hippie-esque headbands he head over his forehead and around his head. He smiled as he thought of Adele telling him to 'dress in his best'. Well, that would be just what he'd do then! He pulled out a pair of flare/bell bottom jeans and shimmied them over his narrow hips. He found his favorite 'Make Art Not War' baseball tee and slipped it on over his head. Jude chewed on his lip ring momentarily before finding some random hemp and beaded bracelets to put on as well as a pair of his dad's old love beads from the 60's. Since the town wasn't 'barefoot friendly' he grabbed his beat up, white Converse. They'd actually been his dad's back in the 70's but still held together well. After changing out his black plugs for a pair of natural wood ones he grabbed a pair of vintage sunglasses and his 'Make Love Not War' hemp messenger bag. Taking a deep breath he exited his house. He didn't drive yet, and actually prefered to walk anyway. He mentally figured how long it would take to walk to the town square. He went back inside and grabbed his guitar case before leaving, making sure to bring his lucky pick with him.

As he set off on his journey he whistled a tune under his breath before it quickly changed into him singing 'Signs' as he pretty much danced down the street. His voice was smooth but still held a bit of a gruff edge to it, despite his voice only having completely stopped changing in the last six months. He sang the verse of his new song as he walked, his brain already turning to figure out a chorus. His bright, brown eyes watched everything around him with the same fascination as a toddler. To him he'd never been exposed to all this...this craziness! A group of high school boys played football in a nearby lot and their swearing was punctuated with a wince from Jude as he walked faster past them. As he expected it wasn't a long walk to the town square. Noticing he couldn't see Adele anywhere he decided to sit down on a bench and play guitar until she arrived. He settled onto one of the wooden benches and gently picked his guitar up out of the case. His fingers found the already-familiar chords of an old protest song. He ran through it quickly enough before turning back to his own song.

"I'm a lesson in vintage chic/a retro romeo bent on bellbottom'd knee/i see you in my sights, whisper your name to the sky/wonder what will happen when the past and present collide. Beautiful blonde bombshell show me the way/see if you can't find a reason for this rolling stone to stay/rebel don't you see/how you've made a stuttering fool of me." He sang and played at the same time, the second line coming easily as the first.

Adele awoke suddenly, the loud blaring sounds of her alarm clock killing the calm silence. Guh, why the hell is that thing on? She thought. It was as she rolled over and faced her computer she remembered, oddly enough. She was to meet this kid named Jude and show him around town, out of the "kindness" of her "heart" Adele didn't remember having any one of those since the day she hit puberty. She sighed and sat up in her bed, swamped in a lake of blankets and pillows. She liked to have lots of pillow around when she slept, and maybe her father thought she was cold in the middle of the night and gave her another blanket or two, because she hadn't remembered grabbing these.

She sat up and ran her fingers through her hair, her massive curls already formed. It took about an hour to straighten her hair, and that was on a good day. She stood and grabbed a hair brush, running it through her hair as she went to the bathroom to brush her teeth. Why had she not straightened her hair after taking a shower last night? Done with all the brushing of hair and teeth, she began to get ready. It was about eleven now, she needed to get ready fast or she might be late.

As she threw open her closet she laughed a bit, she had told the kid she was single. It was a small lie, or maybe not.. It was an odd relationship she had going on with Blaine right now, and she was beginning to feel herself want to rebel again. She would mess around with this innocent Jude kid, no one could be innocent in Lipton, or anyone who came across her at least. She felt like messing with someone again, it had been way too long for her to feel happy.

Dressed happily in a blank tank, off shoulder shirt, and denim shorts, she sat down at her vanity to begin her hair and makeup. She did her usual red lips and heavy eyeliner and eyeshadow, that didn't take long. She had been doing that for so long. She cranked her hair straightener up to five hundred degrees, this bad baby had been a birthday present about two years ago. She dunno where they got it, she just knew she loved it. After about twenty minutes, her long pale blonde hair was nicely straight and soft to the touch. She smiled and stood ready to go.

Her bare feet padded down the carpeted stairs of her house as she got ready to leave. Her combats sat on a shelf next to the door, along with her keys. She grabbed both and went out the door. Halfway to her car she had to jog back inside and lave her not for her family, no need to get them worried. She quickly ran back out and hopped into her car, her mid ready to drive. She never wore shoes as she drove, she worried about loose fittings.

She showed up at the Towns square, looking about as people strolled and laughed about. She zipped up her shoes and got out and raised her arms high in a stretch and a yawn. What a boring drive it was from the house to here.It was never fun to drive, she hated it. A few months ago she loved the feel of so much power under her hands, now she disliked it a lot. It was weird driving alone...

It didn't take long to find Jude. Poor boy stuck out like a sore thumb. He played guitar on a park bench, and Adele smirked as she walked over to him. Her boots made a clunking sound, and she ran her fingers through he hair as she walked. She was close enough to hear his words now, and couldn't help but raise a brow at his lyrics.
"I'm a lesson in vintage chic/a retro romeo bent on bellbottom'd knee/i see you in my sights, whisper your name to the sky/wonder what will happen when the past and present collide. Beautiful blonde bombshell show me the way/see if you can't find a reason for this rolling stone to stay/rebel don't you see/how you've made a stuttering fool of me."

[/b] That sure did sound a lot like her..She red lips smirked and she spoke.
"So who is that about?" She said with a taunting brow. She gave him a nice little look over before continuing."Well well, online cutie is a real life hottie."
Why was Rent her middle name? It really should just be blunt, being subtle was not in her dictionary. From what she could tell he had a nice face, as far body he was behind a guitar. He looked to be slim enough though, unless he was hiding a beer belly behind it. [/size]

[/color]

As Jude had sat there working on his music he couldn't help but watch the people moving about town. He smiled pleasantly at a few people, though recieved mostly glares back. This town was so...angry! He looked up to see a college kid watching him and waved at the guy only to recieve the finger and a shout of 'go back to woodstock you fucking hippie!'. His eyes widened more at the use of such a strong swear word towards him than anything. He only smiled brighter and continued to play his guitar. He had left his guitar case laying open while he played prompting passerby to throw change (and one person even a five dollar bill!) into it. He figured he could at least make some extra cash while he waited for his princess to show up. He blushed absently at the thought of how pretty she was. His fingers began to ache a little from playing but the pain only prompted him to continue. A little girl walked by and giggled as he winked at her. He loved little kids since he was a big brother himself. He had a two year old sister named Karma who was quite possibly the most adorable thing on the planet. She was all blonde curls and dimples and big, bright blue eyes. He was very protective of her since she had his excitable, adventerous spirit. Why, just yesterday she'd seen her 'Bubi' playing guitar and when to get her own little, plastic one. She had run around singing 'Ima titar maa-aan' at the top of her little lungs as she danced around, immiating him. It wouldn't be long now before he'd be giving her real lessons. Teaching her to play just as Lennon, his older brother, had taught him. And he hoped it would prove to be just as much of a learning and bonding experience for he and Karma as it had been for Lennon and him.

As he took a short break to rest his fingers he dug through his bag and opened his bottle of water. After sipping a few small sips and closing the cap back up he crossed his legs on the bench Indian-style and picked up his guitar once more. Part of the way through the second line he'd written he felt a presence nearby. He heard a girl's voice and his head whipped around to see who was talking to him. And he saw her...Adele. Standing by him in shorts and a very clingy top. He tried not to oggle her pretty frame as she spoke to him. When she called him a hottie he felt himself blush before beaming at him. He carefully sat his guitar down and shut the lid before unwinding his legs. As soon as he stood up he walked to Adele briskly and wrapped his arms around her in a hug. As one began to know Jude better they'd discover he was a feely-huggy type person. He loved personal contact with people and felt it made their bonds stronger.

"Adele! You made it! I was beginning to wonder, haha. And th-thanks. You're a real smokin fox, yourself!" His dimples showed as he grinned at her.

He stepped back and let his hands drop to his sides as he shifted from one foot to the other. He was excited, of course! The girl he was already developing a crush on, who's beauty rivaled even Farah Fawcett's and who had already shown him kindness was standing before him. He tried not to seem too eager, but knew that was already a failure. He was nearly bouncing with excitement and joy at seeing what could be a new friend. In Lipton he was worried he was going to be totally ostracized and friendless because he was a hippie-esque kid stuck in the 70's. Adele showing up was promising to the freshman, it meant he wasn't going to be alone. Of course he'd still have his siblings and parents. But having a non-family friend would be groovy! As he looked her over, taking care not to make it seem obvious, he noted her rash of blonde hair. Her dark, raccoon-style eye makeup. Her shock of red lipstick covering her full lips. The outfit she wore seemed like something out of Pretty Woman but with a punk edge. Street-walker chich, he supposed. The combat boots threw him for a loop since she'd paired them with short-shorts. It was an..interesting look. Similar to what his sister would wear if she didn't dress in layers all the time. He titled his head happily, that silly grin still stuck on his face.

"Oh, Adele. This is gonna be something groovy, I already see it. You and I? We're gonna be cozy friends, totally." He ran a hand through his hair and blushed.

Adele couldn't help but give the boy a small smile as he stood, it was true to thought; he was not hiding a beer belly behind the guitar. She had seen kids flipping him off and giving him strange looks, it made her slightly angry. Where the hell did they get off?When he hugged her Adele didn't exactly know what to do..She patted his back with her hand softly,and whispered into his ear "Just ignore them.."

[/color] but that was about it. It's not that she awkward when it came to people touching her,. She didn't know how to react only because she hadn't talked to him much. You treated people based on personalities, and this kid was so innocent. She had seen kids flipping him off and giving him strange looks, it made her slightly angry. Where the hell did they get off?

She sat on top of the bench instead of the bench, and crossed her legs. She could tell he was looking, it was just he reaction she hoped for. She loved attention, she thrived off of it. She sat back a bit and turned her head to face him, almost lazily."Of course I made it, I was intrigued to find the new kid before everyone else did....And well you just intrigue me period."[/color] It was true, she wouldn't to get to him first. Only so he wasn't ruined by the rest of the towns stupidity. Some of the town was okay, but here was lot of people who she disliked. His comment about her looks made her chuckle.

She used her hand to flip her behind her shoulder. This kid really was something; all the way from his hair to his ratty converse. She liked it, unique guys were getting hard to find around here. Or at least ones that would ever possibly go for Adele. She liked his silly grin, it seemed to fit his personality. This kid was like a total flower child. He seemed to be stuck in the present, but obviously belonged in the past.

Adele raised her brow again. Cozy friends? She totally was never "friends" with guys. She shrugged, We will see.."Friends huh?" She made a show of tapping her chin, and then giving him a wink. She gave a small sigh. "So, new to town? You should stick with me."She moved her arm to take in the town, quoting all those cheese movies were the two meet and make friends. Adele wanted to take Jude under her wing and make the difference. She jumped off the bench quickly with a random burst of energy. She turned to grab his hand;"Well come on now, I said I would show you the town!"She began to walk, pulling him along. The town square had a shopping area and a small bistro, and the gardens...He was A hippie, they loved gardens right? [/size]

SIGN,SIGN, EVERYWHERE A SIGN

DO THIS, DON'T DO THAT,
c a n t y o u r e a d t h e s i g n ?

When Adele whispered for him to ignore the kids he really hadn't even given them a second thought. Yeah, you were gonna have rude people no matter where you went. No matter the decade, no matter the year, there would always be people who didn't see eye to eye. In his parent's time it had been the dough boys and the hippies. Now? Well, it was all these different..cliques constantly at war with one another. He knew it was gonna be a tough adjustment, just from what he'd experienced this morning, but it would be okay. Everything was always okay in the end. Especially with such a stellar girl standing here hugging him. As they broke the hug he simply beamed. It was always nice to have people willing to be nice to you, even if you were a totally new thing to their world. And he was pretty sure none of the other Commune kids came up to Lipton. Even if they did they weren't gonna be nearly as inclined as he was to speak to others.

When she said she was intrigued by him, Jude blushed. He figured that was probably a good thing. He felt a little flustered at first when it came to speaking to Adele. She was so pretty and so foreign to him. Something was definitely special about this girl, but Jude hadn't quite figured it out yet. Jude was excited to get to go explore the town and his feet were anxious to get a move on. He hoped that-- his brain completely stopped functioning as she sat on the back of bench. He could see more skin that he'd imagined and blushed yet again. His reddened cheeks turned down as he looked at his converse. Jude was often times considered a prude by the other hippie kids, but really it wasn't that at all. He was awkward around girls, always had been since he realized they were cute, and especially around girls willing to bare so much skin. As she flipped her hair behind her shoulder he tried not to blush again. She was obviously showing out for him a little. Did that mean she liked him? Or was that just what girls did?

"Heh, well I'm sure you already have tons of friends, but you have room for one more right? And ah, uh, I'd like that. To stick to you--with you!!" He flailed his arms at his stumble over his words and blushed again.

When she grabbed his hand and began dragging him off towards town he couldn't help but grin again. The first few steps he stumbled over his own feet. But just as quickly he righted himself and held onto Adele's hand as they walked. It was nice to have a girl's hand in his own. He forced himself to focus on walking and not watching Adele. As they passed by a bistro and some stores his eyes widened a little. There was so much to take in! He wasn't used to so many places to go, so many things to see, so much activity in general. As they walked he slipped his hand out of hers and put an arm lazily around her waist. It was more a show of companionship than flirting, at least in his eyes. He grinned at Adele as they walked and spotted a garden up ahead. The look that crossed his face was sheer excitement.

"Oh, far out! This place will be perfect for meditating! So, Ade, tell me a little about yourself?" He smiled bashfully at her.

She stretched and yawned, and she raised her arm up in a stretch, along with stretching out her long legs. Her shirt raised along with her arms, but only to reveal a black tank beneath. She almost laughed at him, okay so she might be a bit of a tease today, but when was she not? Attention was something she absolutely needed to have to live her life fully, how else should she get it? She winked at him before pulling her shirt down. Then she grabbed his hand to walk.

She laughed off the comment about friends. Adele didn't make 'friends' she found ways to get to know people to use them later on. There was no need to tell him that though, there was need to tell anyone. She thought of how to reply to his cute little fluster of words.
"Ha, just prepare yourself, its one crazy ride." She said; and it was true. There was no sanity in her life. Her friend was in love with her father, her sister was a compulsive liar, she had lied about being pregnant to a guy that refused to be a one night stand because he was older. Not to mention she slept with his younger brother. Along with her trying to become famous by singing, nothing was sane. This is why she didn't have many friends.

The sun beat down relentlessly as she walked. She turned see Jude blushing once again, and she rolled her eyes.
"You blush a lot"She smirked and patted his cheek. She wondered to the garden, not a place she spent a lot of time in. Okay no, lies. There was that time she made out with that guy in the middle of the park, right next to the fountain. Then she proceeded to push him in the outfit when he took his shirt off. She hadn't talked to him since then, even though she had seen him at Sparkles not too long ago, he had given her the death glare. It was nice to know people didn't forget her.

She liked watching his eyes widen in surprise at the busy Town Square, like a little kid on Christmas. Maybe after a trip to the garden they could go to the Bistro, and then maybe she could go shopping... When Jude's grasp slipped away from hers she stopped to see if he was gawking at. She was only slightly surprised, and she wondered if he was being flirtatious. Hippie's were all touchy-feely, so she really didn't know. Adele responded by wrapping her arm around his waist. She was touchy-feely person too.

Meditating? She really couldn't say she was into that. Not that she put a lot of time into doing it either. Tell me about yourself... That honestly stumped her a bit.
"Well, I'm older than you. My name is Adele and I have one sister. I've lived her forever and I do want I want, when I want.. Is that good enough?" She wasn't going to give away anything that could be a liability, to risky. It was odd, it suddenly dawned on her; she was walking like this in a total normal friend way, that had to be changed. She stuck her hand into the pocket closet to her hand, the one wrapped around him. Obviously she did it in a "friendly" way, because hey, that was her.

When Adele stretched her arms above her head Jude bashfully turned his attention to the street, like there was something really interesting going on. He didn't understand girls. Especially this particular beauty. She was like a totally far out, foreign thing to him. Beautiful, brass, brazen. But yet her couldn't help feeling like he was falling for her already. As she grabbed his hand and they began walking he reveled in the fact her hand fit so perfectly in his. Jude loved listening to her talk, see her facial expression. This gal was a walking, breathing work of art. As though everything beautiful and sharp had come together to form her. Jude's eyes widened slightly as she claimed it would be a crazy ride. He was used to crazy rides, though. Perhaps not in the same way Adele was, but he'd had his share of wild times. He simply laughed brightly and grinned his silly smile. If it meant spending more time around this girl, he'd be willing to brave those crazy waters.

As they walked and his thoughts spun around his brain Jude didn't even realize he'd begun blushing again. That was until Ade pointed it out. When she patted his cheek he only blushed more. As they headed down the street Jude had to wonder what others thought of seeing this peculiar pair together hand-in-hand. Jude probably wouldn't be so bashful, but he had zero experience around girls which made him awkward around them. Naturally it made him a little self-consicous. He didn't even know much about her! Already his brain was forming new songs about her, his heart fluttered madly at her every word, and his pulse raced at her touch. Was this love? Was this just really liking this girl? He raised his brown eyes to glance at her, a happy smile on his face. Whatever this feeling was he wished he could bottle it up and give it to everyone in the world because it was so amazing. If everyone felt this way there would be no war.

Jude was so excited by all the activity, though a bit overwhelmed. It would take some adjusting, especially when he began school in the fall. He got distracted by a little shop with a bunch of peace sign stuff in the window. When Adele stopped to see what he was looking at he quickly walked back over and slipped his arm around her waist. As she wrapped her own arm around his waist he managed to keep from blushing. Though he did break into a smile. When wasn't Jude happy and smiling about something? She seemed puzzled on how to respond to his question but he was partially distracted by the garden. When her heard the twinkle of her voice his attention was immediately back to her. She had a sister? Sweet! He nodded as she said she'd lived here forever and did what she wanted when she wanted. At the last line he chuckled softly. Then she stuck her hand into his pocket. From the tops of his ears to his collarbone he broke out into a blush. He wasn't sure how to deal with such a brazen show of...whatever it meant. He tried to mentally untie his tongue to be able to speak.

"Groovy! I'm the middle kid of my family. I have an older brother and sister, and a younger brother and sister. We actually lived in Ohio before we moved here. And I just go with the flow, you know? Erm, Adele.. if I could be so bold. I'd like to say that you're a really swell chick. And erm, well, I think you're really stellar. Maybe you'd like to go see a movie or something this weekend? As friends, of course!" He flashed her a hopeful smile.
