In the mall...........

"So, who's' the lucky guy now." I said as we entered Red Eye.

"Why do you care?" Mary said as she got a shirt and started looking at it.

"Because I'm your sister and I wanna know who's taking you out."

"Well, you don't know him and I met him yesterday."

"I know, but I asked for his name, I didn't ask if I knew him or when you met him."

"His name is- this dress is so cute, I'm gonna try it on." Mary said, getting the dress and walking to a fitting room. She ask a lady who worked there if she can unlock the door for the fitting room, the lady did and Mary walked in trying on the dress. I turned around and started looking at the shirts and pants, then I heard Mary yell my name, I walked over to her and she grabbed me inside the fitting room.

"What the hell Mary?" I said, annoyed.

"Does it look nice?" She said, pointing to her dress and turning around.

"It's cute." I said looking at the dress. It was a babyblue spaghetti strap dress and it was short with two little slits at the side.

"Are you sure? Or are you just saying that so I can make a fool out of myself tonight for my date."

"No, I'm so dead serious. It looks really nice, and it looks good on you."

"Thanks sis. But are you sure I don't look fat on it."

"No Mary, just buy the dress and let's go home."

"Dang Charissa, why are you so grouchy."

"Sorry, it's just that I'm not in the mood to shop right now."

"Oh, well, let me pay this dress and we'll go home."

"Alrighty." I said as I walked out of the room and started looking at the clothes. Mary got the dress and payed for it.

"Are you sure you wanna go home. There's a sale in Macy's, they might ave really nice clothing." Mary said as we exited Red Eye.

"I'm sure. I wanna go home now."

"Alright, if that's what you want then we're going home. But don't bug me to go shopping when we get home."

"I won't, I promise."

"Okay then, good."

"Hey Mary."

"Yeah" Mary said, checking out some guy."Um, you never answered my question."

"What question?" Mary said looking at the guy.

"Mary, look at me." I said as I turned her head to face me.

"Okay, what were you saying again Charissa."

"Oh gosh, what is the guys name."

"Who guy?"

"The guy that's taking you out tonight."

"Ohhhhhh, him. His name is-"

"Charissa?!" I heard some guy say behind me. I turned around to see who it was and it was Richard.

"Hi." I said, acting like I was happy to see him.

"Hey." He said, then turned to Mary, "Hello Mary."

"Hello jerk." Mary said with an attitude. Mary never liked Richard, and what had happened between us a long time ago, it made Mary hate Richard even more.

"Um, so what are you doing here."

"What does it look like pekkerhead, we're shopping." Mary said.

"Mary, don't be so mean." I whispered to Mary. Mary just looked at me then said, "I'll just sit over there on that bench."

"Sorry about that." I said with a fake smile.

"It's alright, I know that she hates me."

"Yeah, sure, whatever." I mumbled to myself.

"Uh, where's Justin."

"Justin?" I said, not knowing what he was talking about.

"Um, your boyfriend."

"Oh, my boyfriend, um, he's at home playing basketball with a friend."

"Oh."

"Where's Roxana?"

"Oh, she went inside Forever 21."

"Oh, why didn't you accompany her."

"I didn't want to."

"Oh, well I better be going." I said starting to walk over to where Mary was.

"Hold on, wait." Richard said, following me.

"What?" I said as I stopped and turned to face him.

"Um, you wanna go out. You know, just to catch up with old time."

"Old times? No thank you." I said turning around again and walking towards Mary.

"Wait." Richard said going in front of me to stop me. I looked at him then at the floor.

"Look, I wanna talk to you again, um, here's my aunt's number. Call me." He said as he wrote his number on a piece of paper and handing it to me. I took it and shoved it in my pocket and started walking away.

"Call me!" Richard yelled out from behind me. I walked over to Mary and told her that we should leave. She stood up and we started walking to the parking lot.

"So, what did he say."

"Nothing." I said really quickly.

"Oh, you don't want to tell me. That's alright."

"Mary, you know I'll tell you, it's just that now isn't a right time."

"Oh, okay, sorry."

"It's alright."

Out in the basketball court..................

"Let's go take a fifteen minute break." JC said taking deep breaths in and let in out.

"Dang JC, your tired already." Justin said as he shot the ball through the hoop.

"Justin, we've been playing for two hours already, non-stop."

"Alright man." Justin said as he sat next to JC on the bench. Justin got his bottle water and started to drink.

"JC." Justin said, as he put his bottle down.

"Yeah." JC said taking another drink of water.

"Did Mary mention anything to you about Charissa?" JC shook his head then put the bottle of water on the ground.

"Oh." Justin said, looking down.

"Why?" JC said looking at Justin.

"Nothing."

"You sure man, I'm all ears."

"I'm sure." Justin said with a little smile.

"Okay then, you wanna continue our game or go home."

"Let's just play for 30 more minutes."

"Alright." JC said grabbing the ball from Justin.

In the house.................

"Hey Mary." Cellanae said as she walked in Mary's room.

"Oh, hey." Mary said giving Cellanae a hug.

"Nice dress, going out."

"Yeah." Mary said trying to find out how to put her hair.

"I suggest you leave it down, it looks better."

"Are you sure?" Mary said, not sure if she should take Cellanae's advice.

"Positive."

"Okay." Mary said as she got the brush and started brushing her hair.

"So, who's the lucky guy."

"His name is Christian."

"Oh. Christian. How did you meet?"

"Well, we met yesterday in Disneyworld."

"Oh. That's cool."

"So how are you and Lance."

"Me and Lance are just friends."

"Just friends. I don't think so." Mary said as she walked over to her closet and started to look at what shoes to wear.

"Wear this one." Cellanae said as she got out these babyblue platforms.

"Are you sure it will look nice."

"Yeah, put it on." Mary put it on and started waling with it then she stood in front of the mirror to see how she looks. Then she turned to Cellanae.

"How do I look?" Mary said, afraid that she might hear a negative.

"It looks great." Cellanae said giving her a thumbs up.

"Thanks so much. You were a big help."

"No problem." Cellanae said, then she heard the front door shut and went over to see who it was.

"Oh hey Cellanae."

"Hey JC and Justin. Where were you?" She said, following them to the living room and sitting down next to JC.

"Oh, we were just playing some basketball." JC said turning on the TV, then continued, "Justin kicked my butt."

"Oh he did. I can beat you in b-ball anytime, anywhere." She said, facing Justin.

"Fine then little lady your on, looser pays winner 20 bucks."

"Fine." Cellanae said shaking Justin's hand.

"Fine, we meet in the basketball court tomorrow morning at nine a.m."

"Okay, where are the basketball courts."

"It's just a block away."

"Oh, okay it's a deal."

"Jeez, I'm voting for Justin. Cellanae, you do not know who your dealing with."

"Oh jeez, I can whoop a lot of peoples butt, including Justin."

"Yeah, keep telling yourself that Cellanae. But all I know is that I will be the champion." Justin said.

"Whatever, we'll see tomorow."

"Okay."

Ding dong

"Here, I'll get it." Justin said as he stood up and went to open the front door.

"Uh hi." Christian said.

"Hi, um, may I help you." Justin said, wondering who the hell he is.

"I'm Mary's date, Christian."

"Ohhhhh, Christian, nice to meet you, I'm Justin. Come in." Cellanae walked out of the living room to see how Christan looked like and JC followed.

"Um Christian," Justin said, "This is Cellanae and that's JC."

"Hello Cellanae." He said shaking her hands.

"Hello JC, nice seeing you again."

"Yeah, you too."

"I'll go get Mary." Cellanae said as she went upstairs. The three guys went in the living room and started chatting. Just then, Mary walked downsairs and JC saw her and immediatly sttod up. Christian looked over to where JC was looking at and he also stood up. Justin just remained seated looking at JC, then Christian, then at Mary.

"Hello Mary, you look great." Christan said.

"Thanks." Mary said looking at him with a huge smile.

"Are you ready to go."

"Um, yeah. Bye guys." Mary said waving to the guys and walked out the front door. Justin shut the door and looked over at JC.

"Hey JC, snap out of it." Justin said as he snapped his fingers in front of JC.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." JC said, getting back to reality.

"Are you alright?" Justin said looking at JC.

"Yeah I'm fine. Um, I think I should go home now."

"Um, alright. See you later man." Then they did the guy hug thing and JC left the house.
