THE GIRLS HEADED BACKSTAGE TO MEET UP WITH THE GUYS.
THE GUYS RAN PAST US AND INTO THE SHOWERS.PAM AND I
WANTED TO GO THE TOY ROOM SINCE THEY HAD A BIG STEREO
INTHERE AND WE WERE PUMPED UP FROM THE CONCERT. WE
TURNED IT ON AND WE STARTED DANCING AROUND.MONIKA JUST
LOOKED AT US LIKE WE WERE CRAZY BUT THEN WE GOT HER
DANCING WITH US.WE WERE DANCING FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES
WHEN I SPUN AROUND AND SAW THAT ALL THE GUYS WERE
STARRING AT US.MY FACE TURNED RED AND I TAPPED MONIKA
AND PAM ON THE SHOULDER THEY BOTH TURNED AROUND TO SEE
ALL THE GUYS CLAPPING,WHISTLING AND SHOUTING THINGS
LIKE " WHOOOO HOO!!" WE ALL TURNED RED.THEN THE GUYS
TOLD US THAT IT WAS TIME TO GET ON THE BUS.WE GOT ON
THE BUS AND HEADED TO THE NEXT CITY.WHEN WE WERE ON
THE BUS THE GUYS TURNED ON THE STEREO AND WE WERE ALL
DANCING AROUND AND HAVING FUN.I GOT THIRST SO I HEAD
TO THE FRONT OF THE BUS TO GET A WATER BOTTLE.AS I
GRABBED ONE I FELT SOMEONE SAY " GET ME ONE TOO." I
JUMPED AND TURNED AROUND TO SEE WHO IT WAS. "GOD JC

UP ON PEOPLE." I SAT DOWN ACROSS FROM HIM IN THE
BOOTH."SORRY,I DIDNT MEAN TO.I THOUGHT YOU SAW ME
WALKING OUT OF THE BACK BEHIND YOU."HE SAID TAKING A
ZIP FROM HIS BOTTLE."WELL I DIDNT KNOW ANYONE WAS
BEHIND ME.I THOUGHT YOUD BE STILL DANCING BACK THERE."

MEREGUE MUSIC YOU COULD HEARD COMING FROM THE BACK.I
COULD TELL PAM HAD GOTTEN A HOLD OF THE STEREO.AS WE

OUT TO GET ME."HEY MARY GET OVER HERE SO WE CAN SHOW
THESE LITTLE WHITE BOYS HOW TO GET DOWN AND PARTY!"
PAM SHOUTED. "LOOKS LIKE SHES SHOWING JC OVER THERE A
GOOD TIME!" JOEY SAID AS HE PEEKED HIS HEAD THROUGH.
"WHAT?NOT WITH MY DANCE GIRL HES NOT!" JUSTIN SAID AS

DANCING AND THEN WE PAIR UP TO SHOW THE GUYS HOW TO DO
IT. PAM TEAMED UP WITH LANCE OF COURSE.JUSTIN HAD
CAMEOVER TO ME AND TEAMED UP WITH ME.SO MONIKA GOT
STUCK WITH CHRIS SINCE JOEY HAD A HANG OF IT.JC JUST
SAT THERE ON THE COUCH AND WATCHED ME AND JUSTIN.HE
THOUGHT BACK TO WHAT HE READ ON MY LABTOP.
   I KNOW HE'LL NEVER SEE ME IN THE WAY I SEE HIM.WHEN
I AM WITH HIM HE MAKES ME FEEL COMPLETE.IS IT LOVE?OR
IS IT LUST? WHATEVER IT IS, IT MAKES ME HAPPY JUST TO
BE WITH HIM. I MISSED HIMM SO MUCH AND IM GLAD I HAVE
HIM BACK AGAIN EVEN IF ITS JUST AS FRIENDS.BUT HOPE
FULLY ME AND HIM WILL BE TOGETHER SOMEWAY.JUST AS
SIMPLE AS IT SOUNDS, MARY AND JUSTIN TOGETHER NOW AND
FOREVER.
A SMILE CREPT UP ON JC'S FACE.HE WAS HAPPY THAT FOR
ONCE MAYBE JUSTIN WOULD HAVE A GREAT GIRL WHO LIKES
HIM FOR HIM.SHE PROBABLY LIKED HIM WHEN THEY WERE
LITTLE.WHO KNOWS MAYBE SHES BEEN HIDING THIS CRUSH FOR
SO LONG.JC'S THOUGHT WERE INTERUPTED BY JOEY SITTING
DOWN NEXT TO HIM AND ASKING " WHY ARE YOU SO HAPPY?DID
YOU FINALLY GET THAT SUGAR YOUVE BEEN WAITING FOR?"
"WHAT? NO. I JUST WAS THINKING ABOUT HOW JUSTINS SO
LUCKY TO HAVE A GIRL WHO HE CAN ACTUALLY NOT WORRY
ABOUT USING HIM OR ANYTHING.HE CAN BE HIMSELF AROUND
HER." JC SAID NEVER LOOKING AWAY FROM ME AND JUSTIN
GOOFING AROUND IN THE BACK."YEAH I WISH I COULD FIND A
GIRL LIKE HER.WAIT A MINUTE - " "JOEY DONT EVEN THINK
ABOUT IT YOU KNOW HOW JUSTIN WOULD GET EVEN FOR
THINKING THAT." JC SAID TURNING SERIOUS AND LOOKING AT
HIM STRAIGHT. "OK JC I WONT EVEN CONSIDER THE
THOUGHT,BUT HER FRIEND MONIKA IS MORE LIKE MY TYPE
ANYWAYS."HE SAID WITH A SMILE AND THEN GETTING UP TO
GO SIT NEXT TO HER.AFTER AWHILE WE TURNED OFF THE
MUSIC AND JUST ALL SAT DOWN IN THE BACK.CHRIS SAT ON
THE FLOOR.JOEY SAT AT THE END OF THE COUCH NEXT TO
MONIKA. I SAT NEXT TO HER AND JUSTIN NEXT TO ME.THEN

EVERYONE LISTENED .WE TALKED ABOUT SOME OF THE GUYS
EMBARRASING MOMENTS,LIKE HOW THE GUYS WALKED IN ON
JUSTIN DANCING AROUND AND STANDING IN FRONT OF THE
MIRROR REHEARSING PICK UP LINES.THEN MONIKA SAID
"THATS NOTHING,OUR LITTLE MARY OVER HERE HAD A WORST
MOMENT.WE WERE COMING BACK FROM LUNCH AND WE WERE
WALKING DOWN ONE OF THE MAIN HALLWAYS AND HER CRUSH
WALKED BY SHE WAS SO DISTRTCATED BY HIM THAT ( SHE
LOOKED OVER AT ME AND I HAD MY HEAD IN JUSTIN'S CHEST
TRYING TO HIDE HOW RED MY FACE HAD TURNED. JUSTIN
PATTED MY HEAD AND WHISPERED TO ME I KNOW THE
FEELING.) I RAN RIGHT INTO A BIG RED POLE AND FELL ON
HER ASS.EVERYONE STARTED TO CRACK UP LAUGHING SO HARD
THAT THEY WERE ALL GASPING FOR AIR.(AND FOR EVERYONE'S
INFO THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BUT SOMETHING CLOSE
TO IT HAS,I RAN INTO SOMEONE INSTEAD OF A POLE AT

TOLD OF US A TIME THAT JC SLIPPED ON STAGE BECUZ OF A
STUFFED ANIMAL THAT WAS THROWN ON STAGE.THEN ME AND
JUSTIN TOLD STORIES OF WHEN WE WERE LITLE. "JUSTIN WAS
ALWAYS HOLDING MY HAND IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TO AND
FROM LUNCH.HE STOODED UP TO THE OTHER KIDS WHEN THEY
WOULD TEASE ME AND CALLED ME NAMES.I ALWAYS LOOKED UP
TO JUSTIN AND I STILL DO.HE LOOKED AT ME AND
BLUSHED.THEN HE ASKED ME " WHY? IM NOT SPECIAL." I
LOOKED AT HIM AND SAID " YES YOU ARE!YOU HAVE

FROM BEING IN THE "IN" CROWD?" HE LOOKEDAT ME AND SAID
"because you WERE different AND REAL, YOU DID YOUR OWN
THING AND IM GLAD I AM YOUR FRIEND, BECUZ I SAW WHAT

IT RIGHT IN HIS SMILING FACE. HE CAUGHT IT BEFORE IT
HIT HIM AND HAD A IG GRIN ON HIS FACE AND SAID "HA!

HIM A DEVILISH SMILE. THEN I JUMPED ON HIM AND STARTED

STRAIGHT ON THE FLOOR."WHY AM I ALWAYS THE ONE ENDING
UP GETTING THROWN TO THE FLOOR?" I WHINED.EVERYONE
LAUGHED AND JUSTIN PUT HIS HAND OUT TO HELP ME UP.I
TOOK IT AND PULLED HIM DOWN AND HE FELL ON THE FLOOR
TOO.THEN ONCE WE WERE ON OUR FEET AND FACE TO FACE HE
SAID " AND YOU HAVE GROWN INTO A MORE BEAUTIFUL
PERSON." I BLUSHED AND HUGGED HIM AND THEN WE HEARD
JOEY SAY "SUCK UP!" EVERYONE LAUGHED.WE ALL GOT COMFY
ON THE COUCH AND TALKED ABOUT EVERYTHING.SOON ENOUGH
