~~The Next Morning
Brittany woke up bright and early the next morning. She had already called Justine and they were planning on meeting at the house and then going to the mall. Brittany was eating a bowl of cereal in the kitchen as Justin walked by. Brittany had a sly smile on her face as Justin walked to get himself some breakfast.
"Who ate the Capt'n?" Justin said angrily. "You better pray to God because when I get through with you, you'll be face to face with him."
Brittany smiled as he looked through the rest of the cabinets for more of his favorite cereal. She was just about finished with her last bowl. She was stuffed and probably wasn't going to have any Cap'n Crunch in years, but it was all for her friend. Justin slammed the last cabinet in a huff getting more and more pissed as moments passed.
"Brittany what kind of cereal did you eat this morning?" He faced her noticing her put the last spoonful of Cap'n crunch into her mouth. "It was you! Brittany, how could you. There were four boxes in there yesterday. I swear to God, when I get my hands on you..." He rubbed his hands together and slowly walked closer towards her.
"Yeah I know, there were four boxes I am stuffed! Hey and you can't touch me!" Brittany walked past him with her bowl, leaving one piece still at the bottom of the bowl.
"Says who?" He was a bit taken back by her comment.
"Me! I will go to the papers. Plus think about it, if you touch me everyone will lose all respect for you." She placed her bowl in the sink.
"But Brittany, you ate the last of it."
"Yeah so suck it up, life sucks!" She smiled at him the cheesiest smile she could muster up. "Plus I didn't eat it all..." She pointed to her bowl.
"Look there is still a piece left and Justin, it's all yours." Brittany wiped her hands on the towel next to the sink and left the kitchen passing JC on the way.
"I wouldn't go in there if I were you." Brittany warned him as he gave her a weird look.
"Um...ok?" But he proceeded in there anyway. A few seconds later there was a loud crash and JC came hauling out of the kitchen.
"Damn, you are pure evil girl, you didn't tell me that you ate his cereal! Then I really wouldn't have gone in there." He patted her on the back. "That was a good pay back though for what he did to Justine. I'm proud of you!"
"Thanks Jace." Brittany heard the door open. "That's for me! Jeez I am so popular this morning." Brittany smiled at JC, who was making his way back up to his bedroom to continue sleeping. Justine opened the door, wearing sunglasses and black clothes.
"Damn girl, who died? You look like shit!"
"Thanks Brittany, you make me feel so much better."
"All I have to say is there is no way in hell I am going to the mall with you like that! I do have a reputation to hold up." Justine gave her a look that could make anyone want to cry. "Come upstairs, we will get you ready."
The door to the kitchen opened a crack when Justin's head peered out. Noticing who it was he quickly shut it again. Justine looked even more defeated now.
"Don't worry that probably wasn't all to you." Brittany giggled pulling Justine alone with her. "I ate all his Cap'n crunch."
"But I just bought him some yesterday, there were like 3 boxes."
"Correction: 4, and I ate them all. I feel like I am going to explode and I will never eat that crap again!" They rounded the corner and walked into Brittany's room.
"You did that for me?"
"Hell yeah! Believe me if it were up to me I would never eat that crap he calls good! Now come on lets get you looking...well... not so gothic." The girls quickly got to work. Brittany tried her best to up Justine's spirits but nothing seemed to be working.
"Is it ok if I asked someone else to come shopping with us?" Justine gave her a why the hell would you do something like that, you know what happened the last time look. "Well, see I was thinking that Meredith could come along."
"Really, she wants to come?" Justine pulled a designer shirt, that was one of many, from Brittany's closet. "Yeah I figured it would be fun. So lets go before it gets too crowded. You know I hate to shop when it's crowded."
"Brittany, I don't believe that! You never hate shopping no matter when it is! Aren't you the psycho one that goes the day after Christmas?"
"Yeah, so what! Lets go." Brittany grabbed her purse and the NSYNC credit card.
"What do you need that for?"
"Just in case. Plus JC needs something other than that hot pink shirt that he wants to wear to the movie premiere."
"Hot pink? Does he want to look gay?"
"You would think so. Plus I have to buy you a birthday present."
"Can I help pick it out?"
"NO! Then it wouldn't be a present, duh!" Both girls left the house talking small talk the rest of the way. On the way out, a pink convertible pulled up.
"Justine, keep walking. We are too good for her." Brittany noticed Justine tighten up.
"I know." Justine continued walking as Brittany lagged behind a bit. As Britney walked closer to Brittany she gave her the meanest glare that she could accomplish.
"Well Brittany, you sure look good today." Britney laughed sarcastically.
"See, I would tell you the same in the same joking manner, but it would be just wrong because I don't even think I could say you ever looked good even joking!"
"Oh that hurt."
"Britney, can you hear this?" Brittany stuck out her middle finger but upside down. "Or do you need me to turn it up for you?" She put it in the upright position, flipping Britney off.
"I swear I am going to so get you fired, I will just tell Justin I don't like you."
"Yeah and then I will tell the papers you really aren't a virgin." Britney's face dropped. "Have fun shopping!" Britney ran inside crying. Justine sat in the car not listening to what was going on outside between the two. Once Brittany entered the car she looked at her.
"So how did it go? I thought that you said we were too good to talk to her."
"Oh we are Justine, I just wanted to stop and tell her how good that shirt looked on her..." Justine looked at her friend not believing a word she just spoke. "If she were a hooker, that is." Justine smiled thanking god that she had a friend that would stick up for her and do evil things to people for revenge.
~~~Back with Justin and Britney~~~
Justin and Britney were lying on Justin's bed in his room when Britney started moving on top of him. Justin was a little uncomfortable with the way she was acting, but he figured that being with her would clear some of his thoughts and problems. She was kissing his neck and was moving her hands to the bottom of his shirt and was just about to take it off. He knew what they were going to do was wrong. He had not done this before and was unsure of himself and his feelings.
He had made a promise with Justine. When they both turned 16 they promised each other that they would be each other's firsts. He had never broken a promise to Justine in his life. But from the looks of it, tonight could be the first. He was still so confused with everything that had happened. Justine was his everything, his life. But Britney was the love of his life right now, and she didn't deserve to be shafted for friendship, or did she? He had yelled at Justine for doing something that he never would have on a normal basis. But lately something was different. Ever since he and Britney had made their relationship public, they had taken the relationship to the next level. What Justin feared at the time was what was beginning to happen. Less time for Justine. He figured that she would forgive him. She was a very forgiving person, but he had told her that he didn't trust her. He just hoped that this wouldn't ruin the little trust they had left in their friendship.
"Justin, stop thinking." Justin was brought back to earth by Britney's sweet voice. "Do what you feel." Britney complained to him. If he did what he felt then he would not be doing this, not now, it wasn't the time. But he did love her. He at least believed he did. He carefully slid her shirt off and started kissing her as she moaned with pleasure. Justin could feel his mind being taken over by pleasure and soon everything started to get more intimate.
~~~At the Mall~~~
"Brittany, we should have stayed home so we could at least make sure she doesn't do anything to hurt him." Justine complained for the millionth time.
"Look Justine, There's a hot boy over there. Hotter then Justin." Brittany said eyeing the guy.
"No one is cuter then Justin." Justine protested.
"Justine, don't worry, I'm sure their not doing anything bad." Brittany said, not sure if that was true.
"Yeah they could. Its Britney!" Justine told her.
"What's the worst they could do? Have sex? Its not like they haven't before." Brittany said to her friend.
"They haven't." Justine spoke certain of the fact. "Justin and I promised each other when we were 16 that we would be each other's first so that way we never had to worry about not having anyone. It was right after I broke up with my long-term boyfriend and I thought that I loved him. Justin made sure that I never worried about not having someone because I would always have him. I hold his promise close to my heart because it was probably the most sincere thing he has done for me." She smiled at Brittany who was clearly shocked by the news.
"Oh well I thought that...wow, was I wrong about that relationship!" Brittany giggled.
"Now over there is a cute guy that could be close to rating up on top of the scale with Justin!" Justine said, looking towards a "clean cut" guy on the other side of the mall.
Brittany rolled her eyes. "Justine, he is gay!"
"Is not! How can you tell?" Justine said, looking at the guy Britt was talking about.
P"Um...look at the clothes, neatly ironed and matching. I get paid to match five guys for a living. Plus, he looks really gun hoe to be shopping!" Brittany laughed at how her friend would pick him out of all the guys in the mall.
"You have a point there. But Justin likes to shop." Noticing Brittany's look she quickly finished. "No Brittany, he is not gay!" Both girls burst into giggles as everyone walking by, giving them strange looks.
"Come on Justine, we are suppose to meet Meredith in front of Abercrombie in 5 minutes." They both hurried away from all the people who were giving them strange looks.
