"If I was your boyfriend"

J U S T I N

I grabbed an apple from the fridge and took a bite out of if. I was always hungry, but i tried to eat healthy.

I ran a hand through my hair and slumped down on my couch skimming through the channels. Damn, nothing good was on today.

It's Saturday and I have nothing to do. I could get ready for Chris's party but that's later. I could finish homework but that's for last minute.

I turned the tv off and stared at the black screen eating my apple. She was on my mind. Ariana Grande was on my mind. Why the fuck was she on mind?

I still couldn't get why she hated me so much. Sure I screwed around with many girls, but so do many other guys. It's odd because she lives right next door. We used to be good friends as kids. The type of friends like when you were two and your parents would put you in a bath tub together and take many pictures.

That all stopped at 6th grade when middle school started. We both got more popular and we grew apart. I did do something I regret till this day on her 14th birthday. Probably why she hates me.

I thought it would be cool, how we'd play pranks on each other how we used to as kids.

Let's just say it wasn't a very nice prank.

I stared at my screen for a little and finished my apple. I snapped out of my thoughts by Jazzy jumping onto my lap. "Hey princess." I smiled at her and brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"Justin! You have to save me! The monster is chasing me!" She squealed and scooted into my chest more, clenching onto my shirt tightly closing her eyes.

I looked at little Esther trying to jump onto the white couch. "This cutie?" I picked up Esther and chuckled. Jazzy nodded and tried to push herself into my chest more.

I shook my head and let Esther lick Jazzy's face. She laughed and slowly looked at Esther. "But she bit my finger!" She scolded the small puppy.

"Yeah well charlie bit that boys finger but he got over it." I shook my head and set Jazzy down besides me, getting up.

She was petting Esther who was on her lap sleeping. She sighed and rolled her eyes. "Ok, fine. Watcha dooooing?" She smiled showing her teeth.

I ruffled her hair, messing it up. "I'm going to play some basketball, I'll be back ok?" I put a shirt over my head.

She shrugged and went back to playing with Esther. "Fine but then can we play Barbie?" She looked up at me hopefully.

I thought about it and grabbed my basketball from the floor beside the door. "Sure thing, but I'm being Ken." I said as I walked out the door.

I heard a small "Okay!" As I closed the door.

I spun the basketball ball on my finger and started to walk towards the courts. A lot was on my mind. Things I can't explain.

I was shooting probably the hundredth shot today. I heard a small squeal and a faint "Toulouse!" Come from a female mouth. Sounded a lot like-

A fair sized dog started to try and jump into my arms, wagging his tail and barking happily. I laughed and set my basketball down bending down to put him. "Hey bud, where's your owner?" I pet his head.

Soon enough a small petite figure was standing above me. She looked at me and I looked up at her. I felt something twist instead me, looking into Ariana's brown eyes.
