cant catch a break (jbff)

chapter 1

I'm bringing sexy back....Yeah!

"Ugh..." I groaned out, trying to find my phone to turn off Justin Timberlake.

"Crystal! Turn off that shit! I'm trying to sleep!" My roommate, Lily, shrieked out, throwing a pillow across the room at me.

"Sorry! I'm trying!" I snapped back, finally unlocking the phone, and turning off the ringtone.

I groggily sat up, and rubbed my eyes. Day number 47 in college.....no, 48....Whatever.

I stood up, and stumbled to the small bathroom, flicked on the light. Hissing in pain, I squinted in the bright light, trying to get my eyes to adjust. I looked at the mirror, and groaned. My hair looked like a rats nest. I had my first class in about 3 hours...Might as well look nice. I mean, we just came back from Spring Break, might as well look decent.

I shuffled to the door, and then moved to the shower.

Stripping off my clothes, I stepped inside, and moved the handles to the perfect tempature. I sighed in relief as my hair started to move back to its usually position, straight.

After I finished washing, and cleaning my hair, I moved onto clothing. It was unusually warm today, so I decided to go with a pair of ripped jeans with a ripped-off sleeved flannel shirt. Checking myself in the mirror, I smirked in accomplish. Today was going to be a good day.

I quickly applied makeup, which was just the usual, and straightened my hair.

Now to face the worst part of the day.

I tip-toed to back to Lily and I's room.

"Lily..." I murmured, shaking her.

"Go away, bitch. Trying to sleep here."

I grumbled in annoyance.

"Lily. Class starts in about 1 hour. Do you really want to look like shit after Spring Break?"

She sighed in irritance, and sat up. I stepped out of the way while she stumbled to the bathroom. I smirked, and leaned against the wall.

Today might just be the day a guy will notice me.

Maybe.

"-And that, class, is how to apply eyeshadow correctly."

I mentally groaned as I held my face in my hand. Could this class get any more boring? I mean come on. I understand makeup is important...but you don't need to ramble on about how the eyeshadow 'completes' the eye for a damn hour!

Flickering my gaze to the clock, I noticed class was finally out.

"Uh. Mrs. Reaves? You are going over time." A random student blurted out. I sighed out in relief. Someone give that kid a damn medal.

"Oh, alright class! See you tomorrow." Mrs. Reaves said, walking to her desk. I stood up from my chair, and walked out the door with my book and phone. I met up with Lily by the caf'e.

"You'll never guess who talked to me today! Ugh she's such a bitch I just--" Lily rambled on, but I kind of tuned her out. I really didn't care much for that shit. I looked around the all the chairs and tables. This place was huge, and not to mention crowded. My gaze flickered over to one of the servings, and I noticed a tall, muscular guy with a leather jacket and shades on. His jawline was to die for.

My jaw slightly gaped in shock.

Give me a piece of this man.

"Crystal? Are you even listening?" Lily snapped, glaring at me.

"Uh. No." I stammered out, looking at her and then back to the guy.

"Who are you looking at?!" She whispered, smirking.

"No..one?" I squeaked out.

"Ohmigod. You are looking at Justin!" She shrieked. I widened my eyes as a few heads began to turn our direction.

"Lily! Shh!" I whispered.

"Crystal! He's like the hottest, not to mention one of the most popular, guys here!" She squealed, hitting my arm.

"Well, he's damn fine, that's for sure." I said, looking back at him quickly.

"Well. Don't get your hopes up. Rumors are that he gets into practically any girls pants. He's a total douche bag, and a jackass."

I sighed.

"How do you know?" I asked back.

"A girl he fucked came and told me. Pretty pathetc shit, if you ask me."

I shrugged.

"Well, it's not like he will notice me, so my hopes don't exactly exist." I mumbled, pulling out my phone.

I felt a few pair of footsteps walk past me, and I looked up.

That hot Justin guy walked by, followed by a another blonde haired guy.

I cocked my head to one side, as they moved to a far table. I bit my lip, and looked at him. Justin turned his head and locked his gaze with me. I quickly snapped my head away, my cheeks blushing intensely.

I looked back to see his reaction, but only quickly, and not noticeably.

He was smirking cockily at his friend, nodding at me.

That prick.
