�Hey Val, over here�, was the first thing that I heard when I had gotten into the door. I walked in the direction that the voice had come from and soon realized that it had been Jesse. He was sitting at a table with a group of people. Me- �Hey, Jesse! I hope that u don�t mind that I brought Gabby w/ me?� Jesse- �Hey Gabs, nah that�s okay�I�m glad that u guys could come�.� By looking at his clothes it looked as if he meant for this to be a date! Yes! Jesse- �alright, u probably don�t know any of us here, so let me introduce u to these people�� *points to a older looking boy sitting at the end of the table* �First off, this is Frankie�� Frankie- *puts his hand out* �Hey Val�� Me- �hey.� Gabby- *knowing Frankie from b4* �Sup, Frank-ee-G?� Frankie- *laughing* must u always refer to me as that?� Gabby-�What?

I�m ordering the food�..Hey Mr. Raposo!� Mr. Raposo- �U guys finally ready?!� Frankie- �yup�� Jesse- *in a whisper to me* �that�s Greg�s dad�lol, Greg the first, he�s the �Greg� that owns this place�� Me- *whispering back* �Oooh..I see�� Frankie- *turning to the group* �Soooo..what do u guys want?� Greg- �Ooooh!!!!

Three pizzas right?� *We all nod in agreement* Frankie-�okay then�� *he walks up to the counter to order* Me- �wait a sec�.don�t we want drinks too?� Jesse-�Well see, that�s the beauty of coming w/ Greg here. U can get ure food half off, and drinks are free and refillable.� Matt-�I think that those are my two favorite words�free and refillable�*sighs* Gabby- �Yup! And that�s why we love little Junior here!� Greg-�Stop doing that!� *Suddenly a teenage boy walks in w/ what appears to be his girlfriend* Boy- �Sorry I�m late u guys, I had to pick up Eva�� I saw Gabby�s mouth drop open at the site of them together�� Jesse-�It�s all good Chris, but now ure gonna have to order for ureselves.� Chris-�Aww man!� *turns to Eva* �But don�t worry, I remembered the cash this time!� Eva- �that�s good, cause I really wasn�t looking forward to another night of escaping from local restaurants w/o paying the bill�� Jesse- �Newayz, I have to introduce u guys�Chris, this is Val Johnson, she just moved here from Westchester�� Chris-�Hey, sup?� Me- �Not too much here�� It was soooooo true, Chris was totally hott!

Girlfriend???!

Your right Val�� *Pauses*�. �lets� go back now�.� Truthfully, I thought that Eva had seemed perfectly nice. I didn�t really want to be the cause of she and Chris breaking up, either. But at the same time I also horrible for Gabby. *We leave the bathroom and go back to the table* Jesse- ��..so you guys got it? Look for my que��OH, hi Val, Gabby� Alright, I had the feeling that something was up here� Me-�yess�..?� Jesse-�hmm�what?� Me-�what?� Jesse-�nothing.� Me- �haha, alright then�.� Jesse-�So?�um, u wanna sit down?� Me-�yeah, that would be nice�� *Jesse makes room and I sit down next to him* hehe, Man he smelled yummy! *Gabby begins her �plan� as she plops herself down next to Chris* (Eva is on the other side) Gabby- �Soooo�Chris? I haven�t talked to ya in a while. How have things been going for ya?� Chris- �um good I guess�.I�ve been pretty busy lately w/ all the gymnastics and Dream Str----.� *Chris stops himself in mid-sentence when he sees Jesse make a �don�t!� face* Me- *not noticing/caring* �OoH! Cool! Gymnastics?� Greg-�Oh yes, haha, Chris is quite the little gymnast�� Me-�Hey, lol, that�s cool, I suck at that kind of stuff.� Chris- �Oh, well I-----� Gabby-*interupting* �Chris!!! We should get together sometime so that, um, u can show us all ure skills!!!! Yeah! *pauses*�..I bet that ure amazing�.� Oh jeez�How could I tell that there was gonna be a lot more of THAT during this night? Eva-*sensing Gabby�s angle* �Yeah Chris, u definitely should. And then maybe u could show us some of your new dance moves�. *glares at Gabby* You know, at our SECRET SPOT�� Chris-�um, yeah, okay�..sure.� Frankie- �Whooooa, Matthew, I don�t know about u, but I am sensing some serious tension here between these two. Matt- �Yes, Franklin, things definitely seem to be heating up here at the pizza parlor.� *They continue to act like announcer ppl and do a fake facetious laugh* Frankie- *in a whisper to Matt* �Dude�u know that my name isn�t really Franklin, right?� Matt- *whispering in reply* �Sorry man, it fit in better�.� Chris- �Omg, u guys are so gay.� Frankie-�We didn�t ask for ne opinions from the audience, Christopher�.� Chris- �aiight, whatever that means�� Matt-*whispering to Chris* �It means to shut up b4 Frankie kicks ure ass�� Chris-�Matt, ure hopeless�� Gabby- *stickin up for Chris to notice* �yeah, and besides, Chris could take down Frankie neday�� Frankie- *standing up* �Shall we see this?!� Chris- *Feeling the need to look good for the girls* �Bring it on, Galasso!!!� Frankie-�Alright, so Chris, what�s ure favorite color?� Gabby-*pretending to just be guessing* �Um, isn�t it blue?� Chris- *turning towards Gabby* �Hey yeah! that�s actually right�� Eva- �WAIT!!!� *Chris turns towards Eva* Eva- �orange too, right Chris?� Chris- �Um, yeah!?!� Frankie- �Well then it looks like Chris is about to receive one blue eye, and an orange one to match it�� *Frankie goes in to punch Chris* Jesse-*grabbing Frankie�s arm to stop him* �Guys?! What the hell r u doing? What drugs are u on newayz?� Hehe, he was such a brave guy�*sigh* Mr. Raposo-�Hey guys, your pizza is ready!� Greg- �Yay!!! *sighs*�.but I still wanted mushrooms�.� Frankie- *suddenly realizing how stupid he had been* �Hey Chris, sorry about that�� Chris-�No sweat, I was being stupid too�.� *They both do sum kind of weird handshake to settle it off�* Chris-�Well, I�ll go grab the pizzas, be back in a sec�� Gabby-�I�ll help you Chris! U might need some extra hands!� Eva- *getting a little irritated* �Well, then I guess I�ll help too�� *The three get up and go to the counter* This was funny to see, cause I hadn�t seen Gabby act like this b4. (even though I had barely known her for a day.) It didn�t seem like there was ne limit for what she would do for Chris�I found this weird�but entertaining� After we had gotten our food, things basically stayed the same between Gabby and Eva. They definitely didn�t seem to be hitting it off to well, either. Gabby continued her flirtatious lines throughout the whole meal. I couldn�t help, but to wonder what Chris must have been thinking. As for Jesse and I though, things were not going too excitingly�I mean, yeah, we were talking, and I had gotten the vibe that he maybe liked me, but I had been thinking that Gabby must�ve been right. Jesse was a little shy. Which, in a way, was not so bad because I myself was not the most outgoing person either. However, I still wanted this date to get a little more interesting for us� Haha, I was still getting confused w/ the guys and all of their inside jokes. They �explained� sum of what they were talking about to me, but I still felt like they were hiding something. They had been stopping in mid-sentence, like Chris had done b4, and it was getting a little frustrating�. Frankie- *talking very loudly* �Eh-hem, Well then, Now that I�m done eating I�m just gonna go to the PAY PHONE at the BACK of the restaurant�ok?� Greg- �Dude, there�s no---OoOoooh, let me help ya. They just fixed it, but it doesn�t seem to be working well�.� *The two boyz leave the table* Chris- �Woah, Jeezzzzz, it�s hot in here�u wanna come outside w/ me Matt?� Matt-�Yeah, that�s a good idea�� Gabby- �I�LL COME!!!� Chris-�Sorry babe�� *Eva flinches at the sound of Chris�s words* Jesse-�Um, I think that I�m just gonna------� Gabby- �NO! ure staying here! U weren�t trying to leave us w/ the bill, were u?!� Jesse- �No way�� Me- �Jesse???� Jesse- �No seriously, I just really have to take a major piss!� Gabby, Me, Eva- �Well then GO!� Jesse-*walkin� off* �in the bathroom in the back��� Me- �Um, okay, I know that I�m lost�� Eva-�I think I know what they�re plannin��.� Gabby-�Well then What???� Eva- �Just wait�.u�ll c��.� Since we were the only group left in the restaurant, and the guys had somewhat �deserted� us, the whole place seemed pretty empty� Suddenly, all the lights went out�Then, a few secs later one spotlight went on in the back. It was shining on this big, curtain thing, that I had thought was there instead of a wall to store stuff in� When the curtain opened it revealed a large stage where all five of the guys were standing, in some kind of pose�.I was extremely puzzled by now�. Mr. Raposo- *with his arm on a huge boom box* �Hit it guys!!!� -------------Some upbeat tempo-ed music starts to play--------------- Me>>Thinking>>>Whaaa??????? Greg-�Alright��.yeah�.� All the guys- �alright�� *they jump off the stage and come up closer to us�..while all this is happening they are�.dancing????!!!!* Then all of the sudden FRANKIE starts SINGING!!! Frankie-�I know that, u know that, I can�t stop watching you, I feel it believe me I know u feel it too�..uh-oh yeah�� And then CHRIS!!!!!!? Chris- �There�s something about me, that u don�t know about, I�m someone that somehow, u seem to be without�� MATT too??????!!!! Matt- �Is it too hard to see that, I�m not invisible, feel like a fly on the wall�.� All the guys???!!! Guyz- �So if I get a little crazy, look a little crazy, blowing kisses ure way, will u think I�m okay? Set the sun on fire, scream a lil higher, hold u in the moonlight, I say yeah if u say alright�.� WHOA! Wait hold on�. JESSE????!!! Omgawd! This hottie sings and dances too?! SWEET!!! *Suddenly Jesse walks up to me and grabs my hand* Jesse- �Val, I might not, be special, not like ure supa-man, but living and lovin�, well that I supa-can�� *Let�s go of my hand and the guys start singin again* ------------A little later---------- Greg- �Whoa, I say yeah I u say alri----ight�.� *the song ends and the 5 guys all stop in front of ME* Me- �What? OMG! U guys r sooo awesome! Say bub-bye bye bye to *N sync baby!� *The guys all laugh at my reaction* Me- �No! U should really start a music group ya know!� Jesse-�Val��will u be my girlfriend?� Me- *caught off guard, and then quickly recovering* �um, alright�� Greg- �Yeaahhhhh!� Matt- �Go Jester!� Chris- "Gotta hand it to ya�.this plan worked well�.� |
