Britney and Christina were sitting on the beds in Britney’s room. She had a day bed. They were watching MTV2, the video for Craig David‘s ‘Fill Me In’ was on.
“I love him.” Britney sighed.
“Me too. And we get to go to the concert!” Christina screeched.
“Christina shut up! It’s 4 in the morning.”
“Maybe we can meet him.”
“Yeah I wish.” Britney sighed.
“So what do you think is up with JC and Justin?” Christina asked as the video went off and old video from Metallica went on. Britney muted the TV and turned to face Christina.
“I’m not sure.”
“They can’t be joking.”
“I don’t know...they seem to be not but they say they are.”
“Yes they are best friends, but best friends don’t shove their tongues down each other’s throat about ten freaking times in one night.”
“Yeah, I guess but it wasn’t ten.” Britney laughed.
“Oh excuse me...5.”
“Ok that sounds about right.” Britney said covering her mouth to control the loudness to her laugh.
“That’s not normal if they aren’t. I mean I wouldn’t go sticking my tongue in your mouth.”
“Yeah I know. But Justin would tell me if they really were.”
“You sure about that?”
“Positive.”
“I really don’t think he would.”
“Well I do.”
“Whatever.” Christina said looking at the muted TV that was now playing Limp Bizkit. Christina smirked.
“What are you smiling about?”
“You wanna go sneak downstairs?”
“Christina! That is sooo wrong.” Christina gave her a confused look. “But let’s go!” Britney jumped off her bed and stepped onto the one that Christina was sleeping on and they ran to her door. Britney opened the door quietly, making sure it didn’t creak. That only made it worse so they closed it again.
“Brit, what are you doing.”
“Just shut up.” Britney whispered and turned the handle again and then opened the door quickly causing a not so loud creak. “Ok lets go.” They both walked as quiet as they could into the kitchen that led to the basement stairs. Britney closed her eyes tightly as that door to the basement creaked. At least they were cement steps so they wouldn’t make any noise. Christina closed the door slightly, leaving it open ajar and grabbed onto Britney’s arm. “Do you mind?” Britney whispered.
“I hate basements.” Christina whispered back in a whine.
“Well I don’t feel like falling down the stairs.” Christina rolled her eyes and let go of Britney’s arm, but stayed very close behind her. The walked down the rest of the way down the stairs and Christina grabbed her arm again. “You are such a baby.” They walked further into where the couch was. It was really dark they could barely see anything.
“Are they in there?” Christina asked.
“No.” Britney said sarcastically.
“Where are they then?”
“Does being up past 3 make you insanely stupid?”
“No.” Britney shook her head and they walked even further until they were about 6 feet away from the couch bed.
“Look at them.” Britney looked at Christina and smiled.
“Are you still telling me that they’re not together?”
“I don’t know.”
“Just look at them.” Britney sighed. “They’re cuddling. It‘s so cute.”
“It is cute.” Britney laughed to herself. They were both facing each other with their arms wrapped around each other. Justin’s head was resting half on the pillow and half on JC’s chest. JC’s face was buried in Justin’s curls.
“You can’t tell me that you can possibly still think that there’s nothing between them.”
“I think they’re stupid.”
“You think they’re stupid?”
“Yeah. They say they’re not together and they’re laying like that and were making out on my couch all night. They are the most obliviously stupid people in the world.” Christina nodded. “Let’s go before they wake up.” Britney pulled Christina by the arm to the stairs.
*****
“So you think they like each other?” Christina asked as she covered herself with the blanket.
“Hell yeah.” Britney laughed. “They both like each other so bad that it’s sad. I mean really.”
“And what are you gonna do?”
“I don’t know, cause first I thought it was just JC who liked Justin.”
“Who started the joke again?”
“JC.”
“Ok.”
“So I figured he was just afraid to admit so he’d have that.”
“That makes sense...but...”
“I asked Justin, and he got all pissy and defensive saying that he didn’t like him.”
“Did you ask him if he like JC?”
“Yeah and he got even more pissy and then he changed the subject.” Britney shook her head. “They are so dense.”
“Can I go back down there and write in permanent marker that they like each other.” Britney laughed.
“No...but we have to find a way to knock some sense into those two.”
“Yeah cause they’re gonna try to grope each other, and that’s...”
“They’re stupid...the only way they’re gonna see it is if we do something.” Britney sighed.
