Chapter 1
February
����Where did I leave my keys?���� Chantal said a little bit angry to
herself. When she found them, she opened the door of her boyfriend��s
apartment. Her mouth fell open from amazement. Was this real ? Or was
this a nightmare? She couldn��t believe it. There she stood in the middle of
her boyfriends apartment, her hands full with groceries, staring at her
boyfriend, who laid in bed with another woman!! She threw the groceries
at her boyfriend while she started to yell.
����What are you doing ?����
����Ooh I����m sorry you had to see this.���� Bastiaan said.
����What? Do you mean you would rather that I hadn��t seen it, so you
could go on cheating on me!?!���� she said, mad.
����No its not like that. It�� s hard to explain...���� he said and
then he stopped for a second.
"Well then, try to explain because I��m waiting.����
����Well, it��s like this: I really like you but you never said we were
exclusive. You didn��t say that, and I thought it was okay for me to
date other women and...well, if you look at it that way, I didn��t really do
anything wrong right ?���� he said cautious. He looked at her to find
out if she was buying it.
When she heard him say that, she was even angrier than when she saw him
in bed with this other girl. "What are you talking about ? How can you say
that ? I said I love you and you said it back and then the first thing you
do is go off with another girl? I cant believe you! We are finished and I
never want to see your face again! Do you understand me?���� She threw the
key ,she just recently got, at him and walked out the door crying.
When she got home, her brother Bryant noticed that something was off.
����What��s wrong ? What happened ?����
����Nothing happened everything is fine,���� she lied, trying to walk by him
as quickly as possible.
He grabbed her arm and said : "What��s wrong sis ? I can tell that you
have been crying. Come here." He pulled her his way and hugged her.
After a few minutes of crying and him comforting her, she said, ����It��s
Bastiaan. I just went over to his place. I wanted to make him a nice
dinner and I find him there in bed with another girl." She said still crying.
"Oh, sweety. I��m so sorry. You trust a person too quick. Not everybody
is as trust worthy as you. You know, if he cheated on you he didn��t
deserve you. Come on, he is just a jerk! You will find someone heaps better
than him. Trust me, he isn��t worth all the tears.���� He said while he
wiped away her tears. ����You know what we��ll do? We��ll rent a movie...a
comedy so we can laugh our heads off," he said, smiling "Make some popcorn and
just eat all the junkfood we��ve got. How is that ?����
����You��re the best.���� She said with a smile on her face.
(A month later March 18th 1999)
Chantal walked through the mall at the crack of dawn. It was only
8.00am and she was strolling through the mall, looking for her favorite magazine.
She walked into the bookstore and she started to look for her favorite
magazine: Soccer International. She found it and put her hand out to get it. A
guy did the same thing and they held the same magazine. They looked at each
other, with amazement, for a while and then finally he said ����You like
soccer too ?����
"Yes I����m a huge fan. I love this magazine!" Chantal said after
letting go of the magazine
"Yeah, me too." He got another magazine and gave it to her.
"Thanks!"
"I��m Justin" he said.
"I��m Chantal. Nice to meet you!���� she said with a big smile on her
face.
"Nice to meet you too. Chantal isn��t really an American name, is it ?
How did you get such a beautiful name?���� he asked while smiling back at
her.
"Thank you! It��s my parents�� fault actually. I was born in The
Netherlands, because they loved it there! We lived there for ten years
or something. We moved to Orlando about 5 years ago."
They immediately hit it off. They both felt like they had known each other for years.
"Wow! Well I wasn��t born in Orlando either."
"Really? Where were you born?"
"I was born in Memphis, Tennessee."
"So what brought you here?"
"I came here about 5 years ago to audition for a television show. That
got cancelled and then I joined a music group." ����So you��re a singer?"
"Yeah."
"That sounds great! What group are you in?����
"Um..." he hesitated, thinking that it maybe it wasn��t a good idea to
tell her straight away. But he trusted his instinct and his first feeling
when he saw her. He thought he could trust her and that��s why he told her in
which group he was in. "Nsync"
" Cool! Ooh wait, I think I saw them on TV last week. My friend is a
huge fan of yours!"
"That��s nice to hear.���� He said shyly.
"Well, I����d better get going,���� she said.
"Yeah me too!"
Chantal walked to the counter to pay for the magazine. She was standing
in line when someone suddenly said, "Hi, I��m back. I just wanted to ask
you something. Maybe it��s crazy because we just met but, would you like to
go and get some coffee? I know this great place where they have the best
coffee you��ve ever tasted!"
"I would love to, but I have to go to school," she said a little
disappointed.
"What about after school?" he asked.
"Okay! What about 3pm?"
"I don�� t know if I will be able to make that." He said humming to
himself while he was thinking. Eventually he said, "Yes, okay, 3pm is fine!"
"Okay, where do you wanna meet?"
"I could come by your school and pick you up. If you want," he said
cautiously.
"Yeah, that��s OK. I��m at Wilkinson Highschool."
"Oh, I know where that is. I went there myself a few years ago."
"Great ! I will see you then! Bye!"
"Bye!" Justin said and he walked out of the store.
She paid for her magazine and went to the parking lot where her brother
was waiting in the car. All the way she walked with a huge smile on her
face.There was nothing anybody could do or say that could ruin her day.
"Are you ready?" Bryant asked, a little annoyed that it took so long. "What did
you do? It took so long! Couldn��t you find the magazine?"
"No, I found it but."
"But what?"
"I met someone. A great guy! His name��s Justin, and I got a date for
this afternoon."
"Wow, that��s great! I��m really happy for you, but be careful, okay?
Don��t trust him too quick!���� He said.
"Yeah, I��ll take it slow. Are you happy now?"
"Very happy!"
"Great, can you start the car now? We��re gonna be late!" she said
smiling.
"Now, I��M the one holding you up? Excuse me!" He started to laugh too
and then they drove to school. It was almost 8.30. They were just in time.
Lunch Break
"Hey girl! How are you?" Lianne said to her best friend when she saw
her.
"Great! Never been better!" Chantal said with a huge smile on her face.
"Wow! You��re in a good mood!"
"I have no reason not to be!"
"How come?"
"Something really great happened to me this morning!"
"What? Tell me!" Lianne said, curious.
"I met a guy."
"Well that��s new ! It��s great, but is that so special? You meet guys
all the time."
"I know, but he��s different."
"You say that all the time...about every guy !"
"I know, but he really IS different. He��s very nice and very kind! His
name��s Justin."
"I love that name! You know, there��s a Justin in Nsync. He is sooooo
cute."
"Yeah I know. You told me about that a thousand times!"
"What do you mean, you know there��s a Justin in Nsync? You don��t like
Nsync!" Chantal smiled in a way that Lianne already knew what was going
on.
"You are not telling me!!!! No, tell me it isn��t true!!..Is it
true?"
"It��s true! I met a guy named Justin and he mentioned he was in a
music group. I asked which one and he said--"
"Nsync!?!" Lianne screamed so everybody could hear it.
"Yep!"
"Oh my God!" she kept screaming. She drew a lot of attention and also
the attention of some people she didn��t want the attention from.
"Keep your voice down! I don��t want the whole world to know!"
"What do you mean?" Lianne said incomprehensible. "You are going on a
date with Justin from Nsync!" she said screaming.
"Shhh! It��s not like a real date. We��re just going for coffee after
school."
"Okay, okay whatever! You have to introduce me! Please!" she begged.
"Alright, but don��t freak out, okay?"
"Of course not! What kind of idiot do you think I am?"
"Promise me you won��t freak out!"
"I promise! Happy now?"
"Yeah, very happy. Thank you!"
They didn��t notice that a group of girls were standing behind them,
listening to everything they said. "So you really think you��re going
on a date with Justin Timberlake?" Stephanie asked.
Stephanie and Chantal couldn��t stand each other from the first moment that they��d met.
Stephanie always teased her and she always made fun of her.
"That��s none of your business!" Chantal said with anger in her voice.
"That explains it. You were just dreaming! Okay, for once you��re
right. Your dreams are none of my business and I don��t want to make it any of
my business. Who knows what you dream about?" Stephanie said, laughing.
The rest of the girls surrounding her laughed with her.
"Fine, just go away then," Chantal said.
"Yeah, I think we��ll do that. It��s not like you��re so
interesting,���� she said, disgusted. She and the rest of the girls walked away, leaving
a very astonished Lianne behind.
"Why didn��t you say that you really have a date with Justin?"
"They wouldn��t believe me anyway, and it��s really none of their
business!"
"But you could have showed off!"
"I know, just wait. That time will come. Now, I just need to get to
know him better!"
"Yeah, maybe you��re right. Let��s go to class," Lianne said, and then
they walked to their next class.
After School
Lianne walked over to Chantal. "Oh my God, I can��t believe I��m going
to meet Justin!!"
"Just control yourself, OK?"
"Yeah, yeah, I said I would!"
"Come on, let��s walk over to the entrance. I��m suppose to meet him
there.���� Chantal and Lianne walked to the main entrance and sat down
on the staircase and began to talk a little bit. Because it was only
2.50pm, Justin would arrive in 10 min.
They didn��t notice that Stephanie and her group followed them. "Why
are we following this stupid girl?" Janet asked.
"Because I don��t know if she was dreaming. I��ve known her for a long
time and I don��t think she was dreaming," Stephanie explained.
"What do you mean? You don't actually think that she has a date with
Justin?" Mary said.
"Oh come on! You��ve got to be joking!" Ruth said.
"I don��t know. Let's just check it out. Come on!" Stephanie said and
the rest followed her.
Ten minutes later Justin arrived in his fancy Mercedes Jeep. Lianne��s
mouth fell open from amazement. "Lianne close your mouth! You��re not a
fish!"
Chantal said while pulling her best friend down the stairs to Justin.
"Ooooooooh my God! Look at that!" Mary said when she saw the car
pulling up.
"No way!" Janet said.
"Come on, lets check it out!" said Stephanie and they walked out of
the hallway down the stairs heading for Lianne, Justin and Chantal.
"Hi!" Chantal said.
"Hey yourself. I��m sorry I��m a bit late, I was held up!"
"It��s okay, I understand. Justin, I would like you to meet my best
friend and huge Nsync fan, Lianne. Lianne I don��t think I��ll have to
introduce Justin." Chantal said with a smile.
"Oh my God! I can��t believe this! Chantal pinch me!"
"Nice to meet you!" Justin said and shook her hand.
"Wow! I still can����t believe this. You guys are so great!"
"Thanks!" Justin said shyly.
"Lianne stop staring at him!" Chantal whispered.
"Oh I��m sorry! This is amazing! You know what?" she said when she
finally got her act together. "I��m gonna go home. I��ll call you?"
"Yeah okay," Chantal said and then Lianne walked away with an amazing
feeling.
"Aren��t you going to introduce us?" she heard someone say. It was
Stephanie and her little group of fans.
"No" she said quickly. ����Come on, Justin let��s go!"
"Not so fast! Hi Justin, I��m Stephanie and these are my friends:
Janet, Mary and Ruth. Guys say hi!" Stephanie said when they stood there, also
with their mouths wide open.
"Hi!" they mumbled.
"Hi nice to meet you all!" Justin said. "Chantal you ready to go?"
"Yes!"
"Okay. Let��s go! Excuse me ladies. Bye now!" said Justin and then he
stepped into the car. Just like Chantal. They drove off leaving Stephanie
and her little group behind in astonishment.
"Sorry about that!" Chantal said, a little ashamed.
"It��s okay!"
"No I����m really sorry! I hate those girls! They are always bothering
me and I was so careful when I told Lianne about you. I talked really
softly, but they still heard it! It��s like they wired me or something. I
can��t get rid of them!" Chantal said, mad. Justin smiled when Chantal said she
thought they had her wired. "What��s so funny?" Chantal asked confused.
"The way you said that." He was still laughing and Chantal began to
laugh too when she looked at Justin.
"Well anyway, I��m sorry!" Chantal said when she stopped laughing
"Hey it��s okay. Really, I understand. I��m used to it. I deal with it
everyday and really it��s not worth worrying about. Because you can��t
do anything about it. Trust me!"
"Yeah. you��re right, but I��ve just met you, and I just want to get to
know you better without those stupid girls interfering." She said with a
tempting smile.
"I want to get to know you, too, so we��re not going to let them bother
us. Okay?"
"Okay."
"Are you ready to go to the best coffee in the world?"
"Yeah!! Let��s see it!" she said with a smile on her face. They drove
from her school to downtown Orlando. They parked the car and walked through
the mall to the coffeehouse.
In The Coffeehouse
"What can I get you?" the waiter asked Justin and Chantal who had found
a nice table in the corner, so they were out of sight. It was quiet, just
the way they liked it.
"I would like to have a coffee with sugar," Chantal said.
"The same for me, please."
"Two coffees with sugar coming right up," the waiter said and left.
"So, tell me something about yourself." Justin said.
"What do you want to know?"
"Your personal history,���� he said with a smile.
"Well, we go back 16 years," she said in a weird voice. "I was born in
the Netherlands on the 4th of August-" She stopped for a second when the
waiter brought them their drinks. They paid for it and, when the waiter left,
she continued. "My parents loved it there-" She was interrupted by a fan.
"Oh Justin, I love you! Can I have your autograph?" The fan grabbed a
napkin and gave it to Justin.
"Sure!" he said. When she left another fan saw Justin sitting there and
she did the same. It went on and on for 15 minutes. When the last one left
they thought that would be it. Now they could talk without any interruptions
but that wasn��t true. Again people started to walk up to Justin and
glanced at Chantal for a second. Curious who the girl Justin was drinking coffee with was. Justin hardly touched his coffee because he didn��t have the time for it. When Justin saw another group coming he said to Chantal, "Do you
want to get out of here? I can��t sign autographs for the whole mall!" He said
with a smile on his face.
"Yes, please!" Chantal said, relieved.
"Okay let��s go!" They stood up and walked away before the next group
would arrive. The group of fans were disappointed and still wanted his
autograph so they started to walk after him. You don��t see Justin Timberlake
from Nsync everyday, so they grabbed the chance to get an autograph by
following him.
"Justin they are following us!" Chantal said, a little bit scared. She
was never followed by a group of people before.
"It��s okay, after a while they��ll go away." he comforted her. The
fans came closer and closer, and at one point they walked around and next to
them.
"Justin can I have your autograph?" someone asked.
"I��m sorry ladies, not now," he said and grabbed Chantal��s hand so he
wouldn��t lose her. A few walked away when they heard his answer, but
there were also a few more aggressive fans there. They wanted an autograph no
matter what! After a while there where still about 3 fans who followed
them. All the way they asked for an autograph over and over again. Justin
kept his cool and just kept walking. Eventually he turned around and signed the
pieces of paper of the girls really fast and then he grabbed Chantal��s
hand again and walked away. When they reached the car, they got in as fast
as they could and drove off.
"Wow! I have never seen something like that before. It was actually a
little scary."
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah, I��m fine. I was just surprised when those people started to
follow us. But I��m fine. You know what we can do?" she started, then she
suddenly kept quiet.
"What?"
"No, nothing. Forget it!"
"You can tell me. Come on, shoot!"
"Maybe it��s a bit early for this but...would you like to go over to my
place? Maybe we can talk there without anyone bothering us?"
"Yeah, maybe. That��s a good idea. Sorry for everybody bothering us."
"Hey, it��s not your fault everybody loves you! It comes with the
territory." she said smiling.
"Okay, let��s go to your house."
When they got there, nobody was home. "I wanted to introduce you to my
brother but I guess he isn��t home. Maybe he��s with his girlfriend.
Well, anyway would you like to have a drink or something to eat?"
"Yes, please. Do you have a Coke?"
"Of course!" Chantal said while getting two Cokes out of the fridge.
Then they walked into the living room where they sat down on the couch
and started to talk. "Please tell me about your history again. We got
interrupted but now I��m all ears,���� Justin said.
"Alright, well I told you that I lived in The Netherlands for 10 years
then my mom passed away. My dad decided that he didn��t want to live there
anymore. Too many painful memories, I guess. So, we moved to Orlando.
My dad is never at home and my brother, Bryant who is 2 years older than I am,
practically takes care of me."
Justin was listening to every word she said. "I��m sorry about your
mother! Why is your father never around?" he asked when Chantal didn��t
respond, he said, "I��m sorry it��s too personal. I shouldn��t have asked!"
"No really, it��s OK! My dad is a very busy man, you know with his work
and stuff. Bryant thinks he still isn��t over the death of our mom. When he
sees us, I guess it��s too painful for him."
"I��m sorry!" Justin said.
"It��s alright! Bryant takes very good care of me, sometimes more than
I would want him too," she said with a smile. "Now, tell me something
about your family history."
"You know what the easiest answer is to that question?"
"Tell me!" Chantal said curiously.
"Check out our website at www-" he said smiling.
"Don��t tease me! I want to hear it from you!"
"Alright, well I was born on the 31st of January in Memphis, Tennessee.
I grew up singing in church. When I was 11, I sang on Star Search. I
challenged a girl but I lost."
"How is THAT possible?"
"I don��t know! I think the jury messed up!" he joked around. "But anyway, I
got an audition for the Mickey Mouse Club and got hired. So, it wasn��t
all bad. Then a few years later the show got cancelled and I wanted to go
back to Memphis with my mom, because we moved to Orlando when I got the job
on the Mickey Mouse Club. My mom and dad got divorced a long time before
that. Then Chris ,a good friend, called me with the idea of starting a group.
I called JC and so forth. We became Nsync. That is what I am right now.
NNNNNNNNsync!" he said with a huge smile on his face.
Chantal listened to every word he said. Then there was a silence.
Chantal and Justin said at the same time, "You-" they smiled and Chantal said,
"You go first!"
"You know what Chantal?"
"What?" she said, curious.
"I really like you! It��s weird to say that about someone you��ve just
met, but it��s true! I feel different...great but different!" When he said
that he leaned over to Chantal and kissed her. It was their first kiss and
Chantal had never been kissed like that before.
When they broke away, Chantal said, "I know what you mean. I feel
exactly the same way!" she said, pausing a little bit at the end of her
sentence.
"I feel a but coming," he said
"But..." she said slowly. "I just broke up with my boyfriend a month
ago. The reason it went wrong was because it all happened too fast and I
trusted him too easily. If everything wouldn��t have gone so fast, I would have
seen what a cheater he was. I��m not saying you are the same way. I actually
think you��re nothing like him, but I just want to take it slow!"
"I feel the same way!" Justin said. "I also trust people too quickly. I
think that you can trust everybody, but the reality is something really
different! There are a lot of girls who can��t be trusted, and I always
give my heart away too fast! They only want me because I am a rich
celebrity!"
"You��re rich?" Chantal said teasing him.
"Hell yeah! I have lots of money!" he said smiling. Although Chantal
was joking she was so happy to hear what he said. But she was a little bit
worried, he would maybe think she was like that. She got a sad look
upon her face. He knew what she was thinking and said, "Don��t worry. What I
feel for you is something really different! From the first moment I saw you, I
knew I could trust you!" he said.
The time flew by as they talked and talked. Before they knew it, the
clock read 5:45. "Oh no!" Justin said. "Damn!"
"What��s wrong?"
"I was supposed to meet the guys and Johnny, our manager, at 5 o��
clock. I��m sorry! I really have to go!" Justin said in a little bit of a
panic."It��s okay. Don��t worry, just breath!" she said.
The way she said it calmed Justin down. He took a deep breath and then
she gave him a kiss. "I��m cured," he said with a smile on his face. Then
he walked into the hallway, grabbed his jacket and walked out the door to
his car as fast as he could. Halfway to the car he turned around, walked
over to Chantal and gave her the most passionate kiss she��d ever gotten. "Bye.
I��ll call you soon...if I don��t get killed by the guys or our
manager!"
They smiled and she said "Alright. Bye!" She watched him walk over to
his car and drive off. Chantal had never felt like this before. This was
the best day of her life. She couldn��t believe what just happened to her.
She felt like the happiest person in the world, and she wasn��t the only
one.
Justin had never felt better either. He was in love! He drove as fast
as he could to Johnny��s house. He knew he was gonna be late and he knew they
wouldn��t let him off easy. He arrived at 6:10, so he was over an hour late! He walked into the room where the rest of the guys and their manager sat down to discuss a few things. "I��m sorry, I��m sorry, I��m sorry!" was the first thing he said when he walked into the room.
"You are over an hour late! We began without you. Where were you?"
Johnny asked angry.
"I got stuck in traffic. I��m sorry." Justin said.
"I got stuck in traffic, too!" Chris said to support Justin.
"I know but you were only ten minutes late, while Justin was over an
hour late. So, I��m wondering how is that possible?" Johnny asked. He made
it obvious that he didn��t believe Justin.
"Okay, I wasn��t stuck in traffic. I was on a date." Justin admitted.
"On a date? Way to go Justin!" Joey yelled while blinking his eye.
"Justin, can I talk to you in the living room for a second?" Johnny
asked severally. Johnny walked into the living room.
"Sure," Justin said slowly.
Johnny was already in the living room when JC said, "Dude, you��re in
trouble!"
"I know, JC! Thank you for reminding me!" Justin said, angrily.
"Today please!" Johnny yelled from the living room.
"Okay, I��m coming!" Justin responded.
He walked into the living room and closed the door. "Alright, WHAT WERE
YOU THINKING??���� he yelled.
"I��m sorry, okay?"
"No not okay! We are discussing a few VERY important things and you
should have been here, but instead you go on a date!?!"
"Yeah, I know, and I��m sorry! I��ve said that a million times, but
I��m really sorry!"
"You know that you can date, but don��t let it interfere with your
work! We agreed right?"
"Yes."
"Then why aren��t you following that agreement?"
"Because this girl is really special! I know I shouldn��t have let this
happen, but I thought I could make it in time. I��m sorry, there is
nothing else I can do or say!"
"I know and you apologized enough. It��s okay, everybody makes
mistakes, but just don��t let it happen again, okay?" Johnny asked. He was always angry at first but he was always reasonable. "Alright. So we��re cool?"
"Yes, okay. Well let��s look at the important things now." They hugged
each other and everything was forgiven and forgotten.
They opened the door and the rest of the guys practically fell in.
Except for Lance he sat on the couch with an innocent look on his face. "Why
are you listening to our VERY private conversation?" Justin asked. He
looked angrily at JC, Joey and Chris.
"It was Chris��s idea!" JC said pointing the finger at Chris.
"No, it wasn��t!!!" said Chris, defending himself. "It was Lance��s
idea. He looks chilled just sitting there like nothing happened, but he said,
��Go over to the door and listen to what they are saying.��"
"No, I did not!!" Lance shouted at Chris.
"Chris is right," JC admitted. "He looks relaxed, but he is not! He is
controlling. He made us do it!"
"Alright, alright. Guys, can we talk about important things now? We
already wasted too much time," Johnny said, looking at Justin.
The guys and Johnny discussed all the things on the agenda. "Are we
done?"
Justin asked, bored after 2 hours of talking.
"Yes, we are. I will go to my other office because I need some papers.
I��ll be right back." Johnny said.
He walked out of the room and Joey immediately asked Justin, "So, who
is she?"
"Yeah, who is so special that makes you come late to a VERY important
meeting?" Chris asked.
"She IS special!"
"How long have you known her?" Lance asked interested.
"I met her this morning in the mall."
"What?! You only met her this morning and you can tell she is special?"
JC asked not believing him.
"Yes, I just feel totally different around her. I can��t explain."
"Wow, you��re really serious aren��t you?" Lance asked.
"Yes, I am. You know what? We went to the mall for coffee but then, out
of the blue, there were a lot of fans and we had to run away. They even
followed us."
"Just like that never happened before!" Chris said joking around.
"No, but it was different. I felt a little scared because I didn��t
want anything to happen to her!"
"So, how did she take it?...The chase, I mean." Joey asked.
"She was really cool about it. Of course she was a little bit scared.
Most girls would have freaked out, but she stayed calm."
"Wow! That��s something different!" Lance said.
"Yeah I know and she is beautiful and I really like her!"
"So, when do we get to meet her?" Joey asked, a little bit too curious.
"Watch it! I saw her first!" Justin said, smiling as he dived on top
of Joey. They started a small, childish fight and the rest also joined in.
"Hey...guys?" Johnny asked when he walked in and saw the guys messing
around with each other. "Jeeeeeez, what��s going on here today? You��re
driving me crazy!"
They stopped fighting and got up from the floor. They walked to the
couch and there they sat down for a few last words from their manager. After
that, they could all go home and get some rest.
That Evening
Chantal was laying on her bed watching TV when she heard someone
slamming the door shut. She walked downstairs to see what was going on. "Hello?"
she yelled. "Bryant?"
She didn��t get a response, so she yelled again then she heard Bryant
saying, "I��m in the kitchen."
She walked into the kitchen. "What��s wrong?" she asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Why did you slam the door shut and look awful?"
"Gee, thanks!"
"I��m sorry but come on, you can tell me!" Chantal said while she
walked over to him.
"I was with Jen and she told me her parents forbid her to see me. Can
you believe that?"
"Why did they say that?"
"Because they think I��m trouble! Her father almost threw me out the
door!"
"It��ll be fine. Just take it slow! Everything will be okay!" Chantal
reassured him.
"I hope you��re right!" he said and then smiled, but he was still
worried.
Bryant always had a smile on his face, if he didn��t then there was
something wrong. You could tell. "Okay, enough about my problems. How
was your day?"
"It was great! I went out with Justin, you know the guy I met this
morning."
"Cool. Is he a nice guy?"
"Yes, really nice. Did I tell you he��s in a vocal group called Nsync?
You know them don��t you?"
"I don��t know."
"Well, anyway, because he is famous, we didn��t actually go out."
"What do you mean?" Bryant asked.
"He came and picked me up from school. Everybody was so amazed. It was
so cool, and we drove to the mall and went to a coffee house. But a bunch
of fans recognized him. He signed autographs but they kept coming so after
15 min or something, he had enough so we got up and walked away. A few
fans kept following us. It was a little bit scary but he made sure nothing
happened. We got in the car and drove over here. We talked and talked
and it was great!!"
Bryant was listening intensely. "Wow, that is an exciting story! Be
careful. I don��t like these fans chasing you."
"But they weren��t chasing ME. They were chasing Justin!"
"I know, but you were with him so be careful okay?"
"Yeah, I��m always careful, you know that!" she said smiling. "I think
I��m gonna go to bed. I��m tired. Wake me up in the morning okay?"
"Of course. Goodnight!"
"Goodnight!" Chantal said and then she walked upstairs.
