We got off the phone. I was in total SHOCK. This was too much for me! I mean, it was my first day in Tampa and I have already met Nick Carter, become friends with his sister, met Brian Littrell, and now BJ tells me that Nick thinks I'm CUTE?!?!?!?!? I had to lie down. I lay there on my bed, thinking about the day I had. I think I'm gonna like Tampa after all, I thought to myself.
The next day, I finally got my car back from my dad and drove myself to school. I met BJ there, and saw her throughout the day. I called her that night, and we became better friends. I didn't really think about Nick that much, and I didn't talk about him every single time I talked to BJ. I didn't want her to think that I was being friends with her just because she was Nick's sister. I really liked her. She was a very friendly person, and she was way cool. She introduced me to two of her friends, Dawn and Leslie. Dawn was tall, skinny and had long, brown, straight hair always pulled back. I recognized her from my Chemistry class. Leslie had curly red hair, and was in two of my classes. They were both very nice, and Leslie seemed to be the very HYPER one out of the group. So we all started hanging out together. Dawn and Leslie had known about Nick, but they weren't as big of a fan as I was, and they already knew him anyway. He was "just BJ's brother" to them. But that was cool.
One Friday night,
about two weeks after I met Nick, I called BJ. Nick answered the
phone. When I recognized his voice, my heart started thumping.
