Chapter 3: Because I'm A Girl?

"This is awesome!" Julia said aloud, looking at the kitchen. Suddenly, the ground beneath her jerked and she felt herself being thrown forward. A strong hand grabbed her arm and kept her from toppling over.

"Thanks!" She said, laughing. JC raised an eyebrow.

"Something wrong?"

"No," She said, still laughing. "It's just that I've only been on this bus for barely twenty minutes and I've almost gotten into an accident already." He grinned at her comment.

"It happens, I hit my head on the side of the bunk the first time we were using a tour bus," He said. He glanced at the clock on the wall, "crap." He muttered, turning and leaving Julia in the room.

"What's wrong?" She asked, following him into the TV room. She plopped onto the couch next to Joey, shaking him.

"He's scared because Michelle's going to be here soon." Joey said, not bothering to look up from the television.

"Michelle?"

"My girlfriend." JC said calmly.

"Why are you scared?" Julia asked curiously.

"Because all she does is yell at him." Chris said, coming into the TV room and sitting next to Julia. The bus stopped shortly as they arrived at the arena, and JC got out of the bus without a word. Julia looked at Chris for an explanation, but he only shrugged.

"Be careful around her Julie, she's scary." Joey told her. "And since you're the only girl, you'll probably get it worse than any of us here."
