The next day JC and Britney were sitting at the lunch table.
JC had just sat down after getting his lunch.
“How’s Justin?” Britney asked. JC shrugged.
“I haven’t seen him or talked to him since last night when his mom kicked me out.” JC said picking at his fries that were in his plate.
“She kicked you out? What do you mean she kicked you out?”
“She kicked me out. Like literally shoved me out the door.”
“Why?”
“Justin was really sick and she had to go somewhere I guess. So Justin called me, so I went. And we were downstairs on the couch and we...I don’t know...she didn‘t like it. I hate her.”
“But Lynn’s so sweet.”
“That woman? That woman is not sweet, she’s a...I hate her!”
“JC!” Britney laughed. “That’s Justin’s mom.”
“I don’t care. I hate that woman.”
“What’d Justin say about that?”
“She woke him up, he didn’t have much time to say anything because she was being a bitch and screaming at me and pushing me out the door.”
“Why doesn’t she like you?”
“She thinks I’m fucking her son.”
“Well...are you?”
“No! God Brit, how many times do we go through this?” Britney shrugged.
“Hey!” Christina yelled sneaking over to their table.
“Hey!” Britney smiled. “What are you doing here?”
“My gym teacher’s not here.” Christina said sitting down on the other side of Britney.
“Oh.”
“Justin still sick?” JC nodded. “Poor baby.” JC nodded again.
“Chris, here’s money. Go buy me a Snapple.”
“Why can’t...? Britney motioned to JC and she nodded.
He was just staring at his food with a blank look on his face.
“What’s wrong?” JC shrugged. “Come on.”
“Nothing.”
“It’s not nothing.”
“Justin said he loved me.” JC blurted out.
“WHAT!?”
“Yeah, when we were laying on his couch before he went to sleep.” Britney smiled to herself.
“And?”
“And what?”
“What else?”
“Nothing. He just meant it in a best friend way cause I was helping him cause he was sick and everything.”
“You sure?”
“Yeah. There’s nothing more between us.” JC sighed.
“Sounds like you want there to be more between you two Britney smirked, biting her tongue to tell him that Justin really did like him because that would make a hell of a difference. But she didn’t, she promised Justin she wouldn’t and she didn’t want to break that promise with him.
“I don’t.”
“You sure?”
“Yes. We’re best friends. That’s it!” JC stressed. “And even if I did he doesn’t and just...I’m confused.” She really needed to open her mouth cause they’re both blind. But she didn’t. They both shut up when they saw Christina walking back to the table with two Snapple's in her hands.
