Lawn in front of the dorms, Thursday after first period

Eight inches? Jude didn't know imperial very well, but that just sounded insane.

So there was only one thing to do, one logical course of action to follow. The resurrection of a proud Fandom High tradition (hey, he'd done it once before, hadn't he?).

So now, Jude was standing in front of the dorms in his Awesome suit, jacket and skateboard nearby, holding aloft a sign that said simply, 'FREE HUGS'. A stack of similar signs was at his feet.

[[I have to go have blood tests done soon, but post is open for hugs and for people to grab a sign and join in.]]

Chad shook his head a little. "It's okay," he said. "The hug was nice. Wouldn't even mind another one, so maybe I should..." He held the sign up a little more clearly now.

She grinned. "I imagine you'll get lots of hugs today, Chad. You're like a great big teddy bear and I love hugging you."

"...Yeah?" That made Chad smile a little.

"Yeah, it's true. Okay, I might be the only one thinking you're a big teddy bear, but hey, that's okay, right?"

Well, that kind of made Chad's shoulders sink a little, but he told himself that there had to be at least one other person who might think that. He nodded. "Yeah; I like it."

Annette noticed the sinking shoulders. "It bothers you, doesn't it?"

Chad frowned. "Why...would it bother me?"

"I don't know by I noticed your shoulders slumping just a little bit. I couldn't help it. They're big."

And now they shifted under the uncomfortable acknowledgment that, yes, they were really big. "Well, that was just..." He scratched the back of his head. "'Cause you said...you might be the only one...to...think that..."

Annette liked Chad's big shoulders. Always has.

"Oh." She might look confused. "I mean, I'm sure I'm not the only one. I might even be the second or third or fifth even." Umm.

Chad sighed a little, and shook his head. "Nevermind," he said. "It's okay."

"Chad? Sometimes you just got to tell me what you're thinking, you know?"

Chad rubbed the back of his neck again, and just said, "You know me, Annette. I don't really think much."

Which wasn't true at all, but most people seemed to believe it, so it always worked for him.

That made her laugh, but not at him; it reminded her of something Dick would say and in his case it would very much be true.

"Can I have one more hug before I go pester someone else?"

"Wasn't going to let you leave until you did," Chad told her with a small smile, opening up his arms again.

She went in and gave him another tight squeeze, trying to make an impression with her strong self.

Chad totally noticed Annette's impressive strength as he gave her a good hug back.
