They told me that I had the rest of the week of and that they already talked to my boss about it. We decided to go to the mall since the JR high hasn’t gotten out yet so there would be mostly adults. We went in to all the stores and looked around at everything. The guys all chipped in to buy me one of those necklaces with the grain of rice with your name on it. We were walking past the old Navy but didn’t go in because a bunch of my friends worked in there and would probably be wondering whom I’m with. Well as I was saying we were walking by and who walks out non other then Rachel herself right along with Peter and they were wearing matching yellow performance fleece (Gag me).

Rachel walks up to me looks me straight in the face and asked, “how was the concert.”

“It was terrific too bad you missed it, how was your date?”

“Great” she gritted though her teeth “Jessi I’d like to meet my boyfriend Peter” We shook hands. Then she asked, “well who are these people.

“Oh you mean the people behind me” I responded

“No I meant the three in front of you,” she almost yelled

“Well” I said “these four are my cousins, this is Joseph” referring to Joey. “This is Josh” Pointing to J.C. “this is um Mike” I was pointing to Chris. “And last but not least this is um Nick” I said referring to Lance. He smiled at me real sweetly after I said that.

As she lifted her finger to point at Justin but before she or I could say anything, Justin leaned his head down and kissed me then in a very strong voice he said I’m her boyfriend Justin and extended his hand for her to shake.

She looked extremely shocked and asked “Where did you meet”

Justin said back with the cutest southern drawl “we met at the concert.” Then with a really weird glare she looked at Justin in a really bitchy voice she said “you like NSYNC”

He laughed and said “yeah I’m almost best friends with the guys”

She laughed and then said “excuse us but we have to get going.” As she left she turned back and stuck her nose up. Well I was still in shock from the kiss so the guys took me over to a bench. Justin leaned his head forward again and kissed me. Joey smacked him across the head and said “that’s not gonna work that’s what did this in the first place.”

Meanwhile J.C. was thinking and all of the sudden he said “fear not all I have a solution” and he dragged Chris along with him. J.C. came back with chocolate chip cookies from Mrs. Fields. He took one out and waved it under my nose that did the trick. Chris came up behind him with another dozen cookies and we just all sat there eating in silince. The whole time Justin was eyeing me I tried not to look.
