Chapter 1

Realization

Disclaimer: I do not own 6teen or their characters (I totally wish I did though) and I don't own Bring Em Out either.

Hello everyone! This is my very first fanfic and I am so excited to let others read it.

Jude and Jen are one of my favorite couples so I had to write this for them. I don't know if they'll hook up at the end of this but this story will be more about fluff.

So now I proudly present to you my first fanfic! :D

"This trip is going to be awesome!" Jonesy exclaimed as the bus left the school grounds and made its way to the highway.

The whole class was psyched about the 5 day and night school field trip. Their group dominated front of the bus while the rest of their class sat towards the back blasting a lot of popular music. They were just about alone except for the bus driver and their teacher, Mr. Summers, who was fast asleep in the front seat.

"Camping at Jones Peninsula sounds like a lot of fun." Wyatt agreed.

"Yeah, I know. I bet I'll be able to find some cute guy at the beach…" Caitlin sighed as she thought of the guys she might see. "I'll help you find one too if you want, Nikki."

"No thanks. The only thing I know is that there's a certain ride at Five Flags with my name on it." Nikki added as everyone smiled in agreement.

"The Iron Eagle!" They all chimed together.

Jonesy, Wyatt, and Caitlin suddenly started singing as one of their favorite songs, Bring Em Out, started playing on the radio. Nikki didn't really like that song so she slumped in her seat and turned to Jude sitting next to her. He was staring at the seat in front of him, ignoring everything being said. He has been very depressed ever since a few days ago when his parents said they were getting a divorce. But today he seemed sadder, if that was possible. She wondered if she should ask or not and decided to. "Hey Jude, why do you look so blue?"

Jude gasped a bit as he was brought back to reality by his name. He looked to her puzzled as he contemplated what she had said. "I dunno what you mean, bra. My skin looks more pink than blue." He answered as he raised his hand and examined it.

"You know what I mean. You seem sadder than usual today. What happened?"

Jude lifted his head and looked to the ceiling in thought as he answered. "Well, I guess it's just not going to be as fun with Jen at her soccer game."

Nikki was surprised by his answer but nodded in agreement. "Yeah, I guess so. But she'll be back before we know it."

Caitlin, who overheard their conversation, got up and sat across the aisle from Jude. She looked at Jude directly in the eyes and asked, "Jude, do you like Jen?"

"Well she is my friend."

"No no, do you like her as more than a friend?"

"I dunno. She's, like, my best friend and all."

"Caitlin, what are you planning?" Nikki questioned but Caitlin sighed and ignored her.

She searched in her bag for a while before pulling out another one of her magazines. She turned it to a tabbed page, handed it over to Jude and pointed at the heading of the page. "Here try out this quiz and think about Jen as you do it."

"Okay, bra."

Nikki shot Caitlin a glance. "You still believe those crappy quizzes? Do you really think that is necessary?"

"This particular quiz is very necessary. When I first took it while I was going out with Christo, it told me that I really wasn't into him as much as I thought. And it was totally right!"

"What I'm saying is I don't think a love quiz is what Jude needs." They argued a few minutes more before Jude interrupted them.

"Hey dudettes, I'm finished so what do I do now?"

"Yay! Let's see how you did!" Caitlin cried as she grabbed the magazine from Jude's hands.

Nikki sighed and slumped back into her seat. "Here we go."

Caitlin added up his scores and her face lit up as she finished. "Oh my gosh, Jude! It says 'How can you be so clueless? You're in love!' That's amazing!"

Nikki was as surprised as Jude and took the magazine from her hands. "Let me see that."

She quickly scanned the page as Jude's mouth stayed dropped. Caitlin and Nikki bickered about whether the quiz was believable or not. But at that time Jude had many things pop up in his mind.

Is it true?

Is it really true?

Or is CaitlIn lying?

Is it really that big of a deal?

Okay, maybe it is.

I want some tacos.

When did this happen?

Why is Nikki so shocked?

But most of all, the one thought that reoccurred in his mind for those few minutes were:

I love Jen?

Hurray! It's finished! I hope you all liked it because I sure had fun writing it! :3

Please send me a review whether you like it or not. I would love to hear everything and I might just write faster too. ^_^
