Part 12

"Hey Mary." Justin said as he was going downstairs.

"Oh, JC, didn't know you were here."

"Well, I just wanted to stop by, you know."

"Mary, can I talk to you." Justin said.

"Uh, sure." Mary said.

"Privately." Justin said looking at JC.

"Oh, well I'll just leave you two alone." So JC stood up and went upstairs.

"So, what's up." Mary said, turning to face Justin.

"Ummm, I have a problem."

"Okay."

"Ummm, there's this girl-"

"Yeah." Mary said, starting to smile a bit.

"And I really like her."

"Uh-huh."

"And I kissed her, but she pushed me away." Justin facing the floor.

"Well, do you really like her."

"Yeah, but-"

"Have you told her?"

"Yeah."

"Well, maybe this girl isn't ready for a relationship yet and if you really do care about her, you'll wait 'till my sister is ready for a relationship." Mary said with a huge smile on her face.

"Yeah, I should-did you just say my sister."

"Yeah."

"How'd you know it was your sister?"

"I have my ways." Mary said with an evil grin.

"Come on Mary, how DID you know."

"Well, I used the bathroom and I just heard what you guys were talking about."

"You nosy person."

"I guess, if that's what you call it."

"So, what did you hear."

"I just heard that you really like her, yadda yadda, yadda."

"Oh, did you hear the part when we saw Richard in DisneyWorld."

"What?! Are you serious? What the hell is he doing in Florida." Mary said shocked.

"He came to visit a relative, and he took his girlfriend, Roxana."

"Are you serious? So, what did you guys do."

"Me and Charissa pretended that we were together."

"No way. What did Richard do?"

"Nothing."

"Oh"

"Well, enough about me and Charissa, how was your day in DisneyWorld."

"Oh, my gosh. It was perfect."

"Tell me." Justin said, wanting to know what happened.

"Okay, this is what happened. We were in line for Space Mountain, and we noticed that you and Charissa left us. JC wanted to go and look for you guys, and I was like, no way because there is like a really bad chance that we'll find you guys, and ofcourse, it was my first time in DisneyWorld, and I did NOT want to waste my time looking for you guys. So he was like, sure. So we rode the ride-"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Justin said.

"So we were walking to go to another ride. Then this guy went up to me-"

"Who's the guy?"

"Can I at least finish?"

"Oh, sorry. Continue."

"Well anyways, he went up to me and he was like, hi, and I was like, hi. Then he said what's your name and I said Mary. I asked him what his name was and he said that his name was Christian. Then he asked me if JC was my boyfriend and I said no, he was just a friend. Then he asked me if I did have a boyfriend and I said no. And I asked him if he had a girlfriend and he said that he was single-"

"Did you think he was cute?"

"Well, duh, the boy was so fine."

"Oh, well, go on."

"Okay, so me and Christian talked for a while, then JC said that we should be going so I asked Christian and his friend-"

"He had a friend."

"Yeah. You didn't expect him to go alone now did you."

"No, it just that you didn't mention anything to me that he had a friend."

"Oh, well, sorry."

"It's okay, so go on."

"Okay, umm, where was I?"

"You were gonna ask that Christian guy and his friend something."

"Oh, okay. So I asked them if they wanted to go with us and they were like sure. So they hung out with us-"

"What was his friend's name?"

"Oh, it was Mark."

"Oh okay go on."

"Okay, so then JC saw this fine girl. Or, that's what he said, and he went to go jock her. It turns out that she has a boyfriend."

"Oh, that sucks."

"Yeah, well me and Christian were talking and JC saw another pretty girl and went up to her and he jocked her, turns out, the girl was a lesbian."

"Oh, it must be bad luck."

"Uh-huh. Well, we rode the rides and all that junk."

"Yeah."

"Then JC saw this other girl and went up to her and he jocked her. Turns out, the thing was drag."

"So, it was a guy dressed as a girl."

"Yup."

"Poor guy."

"Uh-huh, and believe me. That was the last time he went up to a girl that whole day."

"Oh, so what's gonna happen between you and that guy Christian."

"Well, we're going out tonight."

"Are you serious?"

"Uh-huh. That's why me and Charissa are going shopping, because I need a new outfit."

"Oh. Mary, can I ask you something."

"You can ask but it doesn't mean I'll answer.

"Okay, what's this thing about Charissa's past."

"Oh, well, she doesn't want me to tell anyone."

"But I'm your friend. You trust me right."

"Yeah I trust you, it's just that I know that that's something she wants to keep a secret the rest of her life."

"But, I really want her, but this whole Richard thing, it's just making her not want to be with anyone. I just wanna hold her in my arms and tell her how much I like her, and when she's scared, I just wanna be there to protect her from harm. But I can't."

"Hey Justin, like I said. if you really do care about her, you'll wait until she's ready to have a relationship with a guy."

"Yeah-"

"Hey guys." I said as I walked downstairs.

"Good morning sis." Mary said as she stood up and gave me a hug.

"Good morning." I said hugging Mary back. I turned to Justin.

"Good morning Justin."

"Good morning Charissa."

"So, whatcha guys talkin' about." I said as I sat down next to Mary.

"Oh, well, I was just telling Justin about my day in DisneyWorld, and he told me that you saw Richard there."

"Oh, yeah. But he has a girlfriend already. Her name is Roxana."

"Yeah, Justin told me, and he also told me that you guys pretended to be together."

"Yeah, well, it was all Justin's idea. I wasn't even expecting it."

"Oh, well Charissa, you better get dressed."

"Why?"

"Because you and me are going shopping today."

"Why?"

"Because I wanna buy a new outfit."

"Why?"

"Because I'm going out tonight."

"Why?"

"Because this guy asked me out on a date."

"When?"

"Yesterday in DisneyWorld."

"Oh, well, then I don't want to."

"Why?"

"Because, I'm not in the mood to shop."

"Oh, that's the first."

"Why don't you ask Cellanae or Monica or Roxanne?"

"Because Cellanae is out with Lance and Monica and Roxanne are out with Joey and Chris, you know, double date."

"Well, ask JC or him."

"Hey, don't bring me in this. Anyways, me and JC are gonna go play some basketball later today." Justin said.

"Fine, I'll go with you." I said as I stood up and went upstairs to change.
