Phew ! The three of us shopped till we dropped all right 

though Jullie kept on eating ice cream and pizza and fries the whole time.

We got home about 8 in the evening. When I got up to my room to hang the new clothes I just bought, I saw from my window, James on his phone, playing Rubiks cube while, yeah.. talking to his girlfried.

Well, I know he's out of the boyfriend list. 

I just stared at him until he sees me "staring" at him. Unfortunatley, Jullie barged in.

"Hey"

"Uhhh, what're you doing in my room ?!"

"Just some girl talk"

"Why should I talk to you ?!"

"About how I acted earlier. At the front door?"

"Apology clearly not accepted" I snarled as I rolled my eyes.

"Not "acted", acted. I mean.. ACTED"

I looked at her, puzzled. She sat down at the ege of my bed and continued

"I went to acting classes every summer since elementary, I always act like that"

She gave me a soft smile

"I'm really not sure if this is the truth. Or your'e just acting all this up."

"haha. ofcourse not"

She grinned and expected for me to grin back. I just semi-smiled at her and covered the curtains of my window.

"Stalking ?"

Definetly not ! WHY SHOULD I ?!?!

"Uhh no I wasn't"

I WAS absolutely lying

"Oh, ok. I'll go to bed now, k?"

"Ok, g'nyt"

"night"

After that Jullie closed my door and turned off the lights from the upstairs. As I looked back on Jame's window, I saw a oiece of paper scotch taped on the window.

I absolutely laughed and went to bed. It said..

"My number 555-&^$@!"

******

The next morning it was already noon. I went downstairs wearing my very short shorts, a long sleeved shirt then my bunny slippers.

I heard voices from the dining room. Who else could it be? than mom and Jullie.

"MOOOOOOM, LUUUUNCHHHH !"

I yelled with a groan.

The voices turned blank and I thought my mom was about to answer until I brushed my hair up with my fingers and saw Mom, Jullie, an elder woman (practically about mom's age), and...

JAMES ?!?!?!

OhmygodOhmygodOhmygodOhmygodOhmygodOhmygodOhmygodOhmygodOhmygodOhmygod

OhmygodOhmygodOhmygodOhmygodOhmygodOhmygodOhmygodOhmygodOhmygodOhmygod

Mom stood up and said..

"Morning hun, uhh.. This is Mrs. Tomlinson from next door"

James's mom stood up and gave me a smile and a handshake

"Hello dear"

"And I see you already met James, her son"

And in an instant, James stood up trying not to stare at what I was wearing and shook my hand.

He said nothing as he sat back down and went back to his meal.

I, in the other hand excused myself, went straight up stairs, took a quick shower and ran back down.

The only vacant seat was beside Jullie and James. So yeah, I sat there. 

"Here hun, Chicken soup your favorate"

"No, it's ok mom"

I preferred having cereal instead. I clearly didn't want to look like a pig infront of James and his mom.

Jullie and mom was alright. They're the bigger pigs than I am.

Well, after the meal I head the Tomilsons to the door. 

"Dearie, Welcome to Beverly Hills" James's mom said with a smile.

She shook my hand and kissed me goodbye (on the cheek)

James in the other hand, stayed at the porch.

"Cute slippers" he teased

I slapped him on the shoulder and laughed hysterically

"What?! Oh, Im sorry. Were those bunnies ? Or were they kitty cats" he continued teasing

"HA HA HA" I said sarcastically

"What are you ? Nine ?" He laughed  like there was no tomorrow !

But I like his laugh.

Smooth but broad.

Gentle but Harsh (for the moment)

I stuck out my tounge at him, but he laughed even harder.

OK WHATS WRONG WITH ME ?! IS MY FACE REALLY THAT FUNNY ?! TT__TT

"I feel another 6 pack comming up" he continued laughing

"har, har"

"whoo!"

He stood up, and with a straight face he said..

"So, it's almost Monday, 2 more days to go and your'e walking on the halls of education and-"

WAS HE SERIOUS ? HAHHAHAHA 

"W-w-waaaait, education, halls? HAHHAHAHA"

His face suddenly faded

asdfghjkl, ok guys are so annoying

"I was kidding"

I punched him on the shoulder and he rubbed it.

LIKE IT HURTS ? 

"Uhh yeah, um... We're looking recruits for clubs at school, you can get forms from me, so if you want to, you could just come to me"

UH, OK ? Not interested. 

I just stared at him, like.. was he serious ? 

"Hey, just keeping the conversation" he chuckled and smiled at me.

"My mom's probably calling me, so uhh-"

"HEY JANETTE ! I've been looking everywhere for you"

and then, Jullie arrives

"great timing" I whispered at her

"dont mention it" she whispered back "Uhh, James right? Yeah, we need to unpack and stuff and buy school supplies for Monday so uh, buh bye"

THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU <3

She shut the door and ran towards the tv.

"Whoo that was close, dont know how to repay you Jullie" I kept leaning on the door and sashaying my hair.

She turned back and smiled, "Dont mention it"

--------------------------------

I love Jullie, HAHAHA. She's a life saver isn't she ?

I wonder what will happen to James and Janette when Monday arrives :)
