It was 10am when Em and Lissa finally got home from school. Today was the last day of finals before summer break.
"Ugh! I'm so glad to be done with school for at least four months."proclaimed Em as she sat down on the couch.
"Yeah, I know what you mean. I didn't think this day would ever come."
"Hey guys" Amers said as she came down the stairs.
"Oh Lissa, by the way you have a message. And who is Jeff?" Amers asked with an evil grin.
"Oh my god! He called?" Em asked.
"Jeff called?!" Lissa asked with excitement.
"Yes! now will someone please tell me who Jeff is?" Amers said in frustration.
"Okay, okay! Jeff is one of my dearest best friends." Lissa said.
"How come I've never met him then?" Amers asked.
"Well, it never crossed my mind since you and Cate moved in." Lissa said.
"Maybe you should sit down Amers." Em suggested.
"Why?" Amers asked.
"Well, what I'm about to tell you might shock you." Lissa said.
"Okay, but this better be good." Amers said with a smile as she sits in the chair.
"My friend is...Jeff Timmons."
"Why do I know that name?" Amers asked.
"Jeff of the group 98 Degrees." Em said.
"Oh my god! Shut up!" Amers said.
"It's true and I have met him." Em said.
"Cate is never going to believe this. She loves him." Amers said.
"Oh yeah, that's right." Em said.
"Well, I'm going to go and call him back." As Lissa went to call Jeff back Cate walked in. "Hey guys! What's going on?" Cate asked. Em and Amers look at each when Amers burst out. "I have something to tell you and you're never gonna believe it." "What?" Cate proclaims. "Wait, shouldn't we tell her to sit down first?" Em asked. "What is this all about? You guys are scaring me." Cate said. "Don't worry it's nothing bad, on the contrary. It is very good." Amers said. Amers proceeds to tell Cate about Jeff. And how Lissa is bestfriends with him. "Oh my god, Lissa!" Cate shouted. (*For those who don't know, Lissa is short for Melissa. Amers said it one night and it stuck. Thanks Amers and Em *) "Shhh... she's on the phone with him right now." Em said. "Ring-Ring" "Hello?" "Nick is that you?" Lissa asked. "Hey Lissa, What's going on?" Nick asked. "Nothing much" Lissa said "When did you guys get into town?" Lissa asked "Last night" "Hey there is someone who really wants to talk to you here." Nick said with a giggle. "But I want to talk to you" Lissa said with a smile. "I don't know he's giving me the evil eye" Nick says laughing. "Okay, put him on. I'll talk to you later" "Definately. Love Ya!" Nick said and handed the phone to Jeff. "Hey beautiful!" Jeff said. ( * he always called her that.*) "Hey there handsome" Lissa replied with a smile. "You surprised me. I didn't think that tour was over with yet." Lissa said. "Yeah, it ended a little early. But we have other arrangements." Jeff said. "Oh so how long are you in town for, a couple of days?" Lissa asked with a sad tone in her voice. "No actually we are spending our summer vacation here in Orlando." "Really?" "Yeah, Is that alright with you?" Jeff asked teasing her. "You won't get any complaints from me. But what are your other arrangements?" Lissa asked. "Oh yeah, We are doing a party for Motown. Deniz Pop, he's one of the reps. Well he's retiring and we are hosting the party with a couple other groups."Jeff said. "The party is in two day and they are selling tickets but I was wondering if you and Em wanted to come with us?" Jeff asked. "That would be great but I also have two other roommates now" Lissa said. "That's no problem they can come with us too." "That would be great, count us in." Lissa said. "By the way who are the two other groups performing with you?" Lissa asked. "I believe they are the Backstreet Boys and Nsync." "It sounds like a blast." Lissa said. "It will be, especially since you and Em will be there." Jeff said as he blushed. "But we still have to meet your two other roommates." "How about we all go out to dinner tonight?" Lissa suggested. "Sounds good to me, I'll tell the guys and we will come pick you up say around 6ish?" Jeff asked. "Sounds great! I'll see you then." Lissa said "Looking forward to it." "Love ya babe!" Lissa said. "I Love you more!" Jeff said with a smile. "Bye" Lissa said. "Bye" Jeff said. As Lissa hung up the phone a surge of excitement spread throughout her body. "Guys! Come in here, I have something to tell you. " Lissa yelled. "What?!" they all said in unison as they came running into the kitchen. Lissa proceeds to tell her bestfriends about her phone call with Jeff. "Oh my god! I'm actually going to meet 98 Degrees." Cate said. "I think we need to make a trip to the mall for something to wear tonight." Em suggested. "Sounds good to me, Let's go!" Amers said. (E-mail Lissa: Melissaann96@hotmail.com)
