About thirty minutes later, Justin met JC in front of the classroom where they were going to have their composition lessons from now on. Justin went over to JC with an exited smile on his face. JC looked at him and grinned.

�There you are! What�s up, you seem so exited.�

�Guess what?� Justin asked. �I have a new teacher for the drawing class. I mean, the schedule said it was going to be a Mrs. McGrath, but it seems as if she quit her job very sudden, and now Chris is teaching us. I mean Mr. Kirkpatrick, but he told us to call him Chris. He�s really cool, like you said. Wow, I can�t wait for the classes to start! I think I love college! And the best thing is that I don�t have to buy anything for the art classes, I already have all the supplies we need. I only need a new camera for photography.�

JC laughed at Justin�s enthusiasm. �That�s great, Justin. So, what do you say, do you want to go for some ice cream with me after the composition class? It�s so warm, and we could celebrate your first day at college.�

Justin smiled back at him warmly. �Yeah, that sounds nice. But lets go in, I think they�re about to start.�

He followed JC into the classroom, and they chose two chairs next to each other and began to listen to the Professor�s speech.

Justin put the rest of his ice cream cone into his mouth and swallowed loudly, which caused JC to grin at him.

�What�s up?� Justin wanted to know. JC grinned even more.

�Nothing really. You just have ice cream in your face.� Immediately Justin�s hand went up to his face to wipe it away.

�Where? At my mouth?� JC nodded.

�Yes, right above your lips.� He watched as Justin wiped around aimlessly, but the ice cream was still there when he was finished.

�Is it gone?� JC shook his head.

�Nope. Here, let me help you.� He leaned forward and wiped the small spot away with his thumb. Justin�s breath caught in his throat when he felt JC touch his face, and he stared at him. JC stared back, his hand still on Justin�s face, frozen, when they heard a familiar voice from behind Justin�s back.

�Now look who we have here!� JC looked up and smiled at Tyler while he moved his hand away from Justin�s face.

�Hey Ty. What�s up?�

�Nothing really�, Tyler replied and sat down beside Justin. �I was on my way home when I saw your car outside. I thought we could compare our schedules to see if we have any classes together.�

�Oh, that�s a good idea�, Justin said and searched through his backpack for the paper that had been given to him in the morning. �I haven�t really looked on it so far.� JC took it from his hand and skimmed it through.

�Damn�, he said, �we only have one class together, Curly. I really thought it was more.�

�Which one?� Justin asked.

�Composition. I thought we�d have music therapy together, but I forgot that I�m in the advanced class now.�

Justin pouted for a moment, but then he thought <Maybe it�s for the best. Otherwise I wouldn�t be able to concentrate on my classes, with him sitting beside me all the time.>

They saw that Tyler and JC also had one class together, but Tyler and Justin didn�t.

A few minutes later, Justin and JC said goodbye to Tyler and went back to JC�s car to drive home. On the way to the parking lot they suddenly heard somebody call.

�Hey, wait a second!� The two boys turned around and saw a girl approach them. She was about 5�4�� small and had long, blond hair. She looked vaguely familiar to Justin, but he didn�t know from where.

�Hi�, she said breathlessly when she was standing in front of them. JC looked at Justin, who just shrugged.

�Hi�, they both answered and waited for the girl to say something. She turned to Justin and smiled at him.

�I�m Britney. Well� I saw you in drawing class today, I was sitting a few chairs away.� Now Justin remembered. She was the one who had been staring at him all the time. �I was wondering if� well, I forgot to write down the supplies we need for class, and I can�t remember all of them. I thought that maybe you could tell me what they were?�

JC had to hold himself back not to snort. He doubted that she really forgot to write them down; it was obvious that she just needed a reason to talk to Justin. <It�s just like I told him>, he thought. <His first day, and already the girls want him. Now why am I so jealous? It�s not that I own him, he can do what he wants.> He watched as Justin smiled at the girl apologetically.

�No, sorry, I didn�t write them down either, cause I already have all the supplies at home.�

JC couldn�t help but smile when he heard Justin refer to his father�s house as home�. He was happy to hear that Justin already felt home here. He saw Britney�s disappointed expression, but a second later she smiled again.

�Oh, that doesn�t matter. I�ll just ask somebody else. � So I guess we�ll see each other Wednesday in class, right?� Justin nodded.

�Yeah, I think so. See you then.�

�Okay, bye.� She turned around and walked away, and JC looked at Justin curious.

�What?� Justin wanted to know.

�Well� you tell her that you have all the supplies at home, what means that you must remember them � but then you tell her that you don�t remember what they
are?� Justin blushed.

�Yeah, well� I didn�t really want to talk to her. She�s been staring at me all the time during class today, and to be honest, she scares me a bit. She�s so forward. And she�s not really my type. Plus, I saw her writing everything down while Chris talked.� Now he grinned.

�I told you that the girls would love you�, JC said while he unlocked the doors to his car and they got in.

�So, and now? Home?� Justin nodded.

�Yes please. I really need a shower. Or, much better, a cooling of in the pool. You up for it?�

<Do you have to ask?> JC thought. <I never would miss the opportunity to see you half-naked.>

�Jace? Hello? Somebody home?� Justin waved at him.

�What? Oh, sorry. Yeah, sure I�m up for it.� <I could really need a cooling off.>

They drove in silence for a few minutes, until JC broke it.

�So, Curly, tell me� you said that that Britney girl isn�t your type, although she doesn�t look bad. What is your type then?�, he asked just as they pulled into their driveway. JC cut off the engine and waited for Justin�s answer.

�You know,� Justin answered while he opened the door. �A week ago, I really thought that my type were girls with long blond hair. But now I think that I go for persons with brown hair and blond highlights.�

With that, he jumped out of the car, and JC could do nothing but look after him with an open mouth.

<Did he just say person?>
