"Maybe." Muzic cut in at the end of their recorded message.
"Hey Megs... It's me again. You know the message was cute the first five times I heard it, but could you change it now... it's getting kinda old. Where are you? I just wanted to make sure that you two got in OK. Call me! You have the number. Luvies, bye."
"Luvies?" Muzic cocked an eyebrow in Megan's direction as they walked into the front door of their dorm to Nick leaving a message.
"Don't ask, it's an Amanda thing."
"Oh... OK.. How's your arm?"
"It hurts, but I think I'll be OK. There isn't any glass in it or anything, and I think that I would rather endure this pain then the dirtyness I would have felt if Chia Pet head had actaully kissed me."
"Don't talk like that. I'm gonna be sick!" Muzic said, picking up the cordless phone and throwing it in Megan's dircetion. "Talk to your boy while I take a look at that arm of yours."
Megan sighed and took off the vest that she was wearing. Muzic got a washcloth wet and some iodine from the bathroom. She had Megan sit on the couch in the living room and waited for her to dial Nick's number before starting to clean up the cut.
Megan dialed the ten digit number carefully and put the phone up to her ear. She cringed and put the phone up to her other ear. 'Wrong arm.' She thought. The phone started ringing and before it had the chance to complete two rings someone picked up the phone. "Hello?"
"Hey-"
"MEGAN!!!!" It was Nick. She couldn't help but smile a little.
"Hey Nick! How are you doing?"
"I was worried about you, where have you two been?"
"Out. We went and saw a movie and then went to this stupid carnival. It was boring."
"I'm sorry. It hasn't been much better over here, although we have had enough crap to do to keep us busy. AJ is going crazy."
"So is Muz-Ouch! Dammit Muzic!" Muzic had started to put the iodine
"What did she do?"
"She put iodine on my arm."
"Why did she do that?"
"Cause I had a run in with someone and I ended up falling through a mirror."
"What? Are you OK?"
"Yes, I'm fine! Really, I'm OK. It's just a little cut."
"Little my ass." Muzic said.
Megan gave her the evil eye and turned back to the phone. "Are you sure you are OK? DO you want me to come out there?"
Megan looked at Muzic. She really wanted to see him but if she couldn't go for a month until they were suppose to see eachother again, then she would never be able to let go. "That's sweet, Nick. It really is, but I think that I'm gonna be OK. You need to stay with the rest of the guys and do what you do best... making eight year olds scream."
"OK...." She could tell that he was smiling. "Who did you run into?"
'Why did he have to ask that?' Megan thought. She took a deep breath. "Well, you know how we were at that club and N SYNC came in?"
"Yeah..."
"When I went to the bathroom I ran into Justin. He asked me to dance but I said no, that I was there with someone else, namely you, even though I didn't tell him that. He finally left me alone and since you seemed to be a little sensitive to the guy I decided not to tell you about it."
"OK... but what does that have to do with the mirror?"
"Well, we went to this carnival and Muzic and I split up. I went into the fun house and was looking in the mirror when Justin tapped me on the shoulder. He talked smack for a little while, told me somethings that I didn't want to know and then tried to kiss me-" She looked at Muzic. A look of utter disgust was all that registered on her friends face.
"He did what?!"
"Nick, calm down. He tried to kiss me, but I backed up even further then he thought was possible and when through the mirror that he had me backed up against."
"As long as your ok..and you remind me to re-plant that little Chia Pet later"
She laughed,"OK got to go. Bye!"
"Bye sweetie!"They hung up
"Bye sweetie!"Muzic mimicked. Megs threw a pillow at her.
"What?"
"The game is on"
"Ohhh!"Muzic got up spilling the iodine all over Megs.
"Ahhh!! Muzic!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Let me clean it up"Muzic wiped it all up. She plugged the walkman in and listened to the game. Megs decided to watch something on tv but all they have in Michigan were court shows. She decided to watch one. The show was about a guy running for judge.
TV: I'd do anything I can to receive this job and do everything I can to help thins community-"
"You don't even deserve to be sitting on the bench!"Muzic yelled in fury. Megs looked at her confused. "What?"Muzic said impatiently. Muzic was always impatient when there was a game or something big like the Emmy's and Grammy's.
"Are you talking to the game or the court?"
"Game"
Megs kept watching the show.
"Its over! Its over!"Muzic yelled.
"You are so weird"Megs said. Muzic took off the headphones and put it away.
"Lets go to sleep."she said. Megs agreed.
