Jude was technically speaking at the
front of the line, but that didn't stop him from leaning out, keeping an eye on the whole line and watching for people to join it. He spotted Jake, looking as estatic (and loud) as ever.
"You have good timing," Jude said, raising his voice slightly so Jake could hear him, and then turned away, back towards the school official who was just arriving, their arms stacked with folders. Despite the vaguely defined line that had formed, they instead called by family name, calling those without family name first. Jude was down near the middle, furiously texting Rory to let her know, and it was only once all the folders had been handed out that he turned back to the group as a whole.
"I'm going to head down to the Forbidden Zone, if anyone wants to come along," Jude said. He wasn't going to wait for a lot of confirmations--with the folder tucked into his bag, he headed out, off to go down to the
forbidden zone.
