January 3rd, 1999
CurlyJay23: So you didn't party like its 1999?
DMBluvr81: Ok, that's even lame for you.
CurlyJay23: Sorry. But really? You didn't have a good new years? I had a GREAT ONE. Did Dawson not kiss you at midnight?
DMBluvr81: Exact opposite. Dawson (his name is really Clay) DID try and kiss me. I hate it. This is SO Dawson/Joey. I don't want him. He wants me. Ugh...this kid is like a brother. Why are guys so...I don't know...
CurlyJay23: Perfect?
DMBluvr81: ummmm..no. That's not it.
CurlyJay23: Well the world needs men to live, so...
DMBluvr81: I never said the world didn't. The world needs women too.
CurlyJay23: That's for sure. I don't think I could handle a world full of dudes.
DMBluvr81: I thought you would like that CurlyGay.
CurlyJay23: For tha gazillonth time; I'm not gay.
DMBluvr81: I know, I know. The Ricky Martin poster on your ceiling is just because you think he is a good singer.
CurlyJay23: How did you know about my poster?
DMBluvr81: I'm smart.
CurlyJay23: Hey, hold on for a sec. I'll brb.
DMBluvr81: I'm holding on baby. I wont let go. :)
Liz giggled and pushed the candy cane on the corner on her mouth.
"Lizzie, phone!!" She heard Kimmie yell to her.
"thanks, K!" She yelled back and picked up her cordless phone by her bed. She kept the ringer off because no one usually called her.
"Hello?" She mumbled, pulling the stick out of her mouth.
"GURL!"
Lizzie rolled her eyes subconsciously, but a smile emerged on her lips. "What Blair? Did Preston cheat on you AGAIN?"
"HE BETTER NOT HAVE!"
"You need to dump him..."
"Why?? So you can date him?"
Lizzie almost choked on her candy cane. "No, I don't think so. Even though my dad would be happy because he is "the quarterback." No thanks."
"He's a good kisser, what can I say."
"A good kisser doesn't make a good boyfriend, B."
"You would know. Speaking of KISSING..."
Elizabeth's fist hit her desk. "If you dare say the word Clay in the next sentence I will personally rip all of that pretty natural blonde hair out of her head and sell it to that freaky wig shop on Delta street."
"Forget I called." Blair was giggling on the other end.
"Ok, I gotta beep. Be right back."
"k."
Liz pressed switched the lines and spoke, "Hello?"
"ELIZABETH!! WHATS UP GIRLFRIEND!!"
Liz began to beam. She would know that voice anywhere. "IS this Jamie?"
"In tha flesh, sister. How's life?" A flamboyant deep but girly voice asked.
"Great. You want Kimmie?"
"Oh of course!! I'm taking her shopping tomorrow. Wanna come?"
Liz's face contorted to a look of horror. "I'll pass."
"Ok."
"hold on, Jamie."
"Sure thang sweetie." Liz switched lines again.
"Hey Blair. Its a call for my sister, I'll talk to ya later."
"ok, and we will discuss the "c" word." Blair whispered and fell into giggles.
"Sure we wont. Later."
Lizzie changed the line once more. "Ok, let me go get her....KIMMIE It's JAMIE!!!" She cried through the house.
"Bye Jamie." She spoke when she heard her sister pick up.
"Later girly."
She sat the phone back on its cradle and turned back to her computer.
DMBlur81: You need to be gay. Gay people funny and are usually always happy.
CurlyJay23: This isn't Justin.
DMBluvr81: JUSTIN? Who's Justin?
CurlyJay23: Justin, CurlyJay23. This is Josh.
Liz's eyes widened. -So his name isn't Jay. It's Justin..hmmm...-
DMBluvr81: Ohh, really? Well hey Josh. What's up?
CurlyJay23: uhh, nothing much. Justin's on his way back.
DMBluvr81: Wait is "Justin" gay?
CurlyJay23: WHAT? Girl...wait.
Justin scrolled up on the IM and his eyes widened and he turned to JC with a shocked look. "WHAT DID YOU DO?"
"Nothing. the person IMed me and I told her you weren't there."
Justin pointed to the screen his voice practically screaming. "BUT JC!! This girl thinks my name is JAY."
"Just tell her Jay is a nickname. Chill man." JC narrowed his eyes at Justin. It was very weird to see him work up over something like this.
"Whatever." Justin mumbled and turned back to the screen.
"I'm going outside. You gonna come play some hoops with us?"
"Yeha, I'll be out there in a few." Justin waved his hand in the air, and began typing.
"Ok." JC mouthed and turned on his heels, leaving the kitchen where Justin's laptop was set up.
CurlyJay23: Sorry about that. That was my friend.
DMBluvr81: MMMMhmmmmm...JUSTIN.
CurlyJay23: Jay is my nickname.
DMBluvr81: Surrrreeeee, was that your boyfriend?
CurlyJay23: yes. Josh...man he is so sexy.
DMBluvr81: ...ummm, that whole gay thing was a joke.
CurlyJay23: I'm playing along. It was sarcasm. Remember, you are the one that made up the word.
She didn't respond for a few moments and he checked his minimized buddy list to make sure she hadn't signed off. Finally she Imed him.
DMBluvr81: I know.
CurlyJay23: Took you long enough to respond. What are you ...never mind, I don't want to know.
DMBluvr81: Get your mind out of the gutter JUSTIN. I went to the potty if you MUST know.
CurlyJay23: I really DIDNT need to know that. And you can still call me Jay.
DMBluvr81: I don't want to. :)
CurlyJay23: Fine, I need to go ELIZABETH. I'm going to go play some b-ball with my friends.
DMBluvr81: Have fun.
CurlyJay23: I'll try.
Justin signed off and slid out of the kitchen chair and went outside. He walked through his garage and immediately got hit with...
"Oooooo...Justin's got a cyber buddy." Lance chuckled, his adam's apple bobbing as he talked.
JC smiled, glancing at Lance and then back at Justin. "No WONDER he has been online all the time. Mmmmhmmm..."
Justin looked at an innocent looking Josh, who wasn't looking Justin in the eyes. "JC!! You guys don't even know. Its just some girl I talk to when I'm bored. Nothing special."
JC passed Justin the basketball. "Then why did you completely FREAK OUT in there when I accidentally said you were Justin. I mean, what's she going to do think you are Justin Timberlake. She wouldn't believe you in the FIRST place. And if she did, she really IS a ditz."
"She's not a ditz. She's VERY smart. Or seems to be."
Lance stretched his arms over his head and popped his neck. "Curly, for all you know this "girl" could be some weirdo. It's the internet buddy, you can change your identity, become who you want. Just, don't get too attached."
Justin muttered. "What if I already am..."
"What did you say?" JC asked.
"Nothing. So, what are we playing to?"
Lance walked over to Justin and grabbed the ball from him, looking directly in his eyes. "Seriously, man. I know sometimes it gets lonely and stuff, but don't get you hopes up on some random girl."
"I let you stay at my house for new years and look how you treat me." Justin snatched the ball back and bent his knees, sending it through the air and in the net.
Lance shrugged with a grin. "Well, I'll just go stay at Patty's. She lives nearby."
An evil smile slowly crept on Justin's lips. "Speaking of? How is Brownie now a days? I haven't seen Patty around much lately."
"Nuh uh, we aren't changing the subject that easily." Lance backed away and shook his head.
JC laughed at the two and spoke up. "All right, All right. Let's play."
