Same and Different

Chapter 3. Jealousy

"What happened?" Justin asked himself the next morning.  My mom called his name all of a sudden. He ran downstairs. For some reason Justin was wearing my mom's dress.

Jeez, I thought to myself. He was that drunk last night?

While I was chewing my cereal, I squished my glow in the dark puddy. "Thanks mom for the cereal" I said. Mom didn't respond. She was too busy listening to Panic At The Disco even though that band wasn't for her. 

Me and Justin ran to school as quickly as we could. While we ran to school, I saw Amy. Justin nudged me and made kissy faces. "Shut up, dumb ass." I playfully shoved him.

Justin walked up to Amy. "So, your party was awesome." Amy said. "Thanks," He replied. "Hey, Amy. Me and my friends are going to Starbucks for lunch. You want to come?" Justin asked eagerly. Amy hesitated. "Umm... sure."

I heard all of it. My face turned red with anger. Me and Amy already made plans to go to Starbucks at lunch, but Justin took my place. 

At lunch, I saw Justin and Amy walking to Starbucks so I followed them to see what happened. Fine, I know it's creepy, but I have to admit, it is cool kind of being, like a, secret agent.

 I was in a bush watching, wondering, and listening, even. All of a sudden, Justin lowered his knee and gave Amy a flower. Amy looked weirded out. "Justin, I will be right back." She said. I looked at Justin. He had a nervous face. Out of nowhere, Amy was beside me and asked "George? What are you doing in a bush?" "Ahhhhhhhhhh!!! Nothing!" I yelled in fear.

While me and Justin were in our bunk beds, I looked at Justin. "Amy hates you, George." Justin smiled. "She sees beauty in me." "All I can see is a buffalo in you." Justin laughed. "Be quiet Justin." I said. "I hate you Justin."

The next morning Justin went to the dentist to check out his weird tooth. While Justin was at the dentist, I played Minecraft at home. My mom was very worried about Justin since she thought that he might have had a serious cavity. "I miss Justin too honey." Mom frowned. "Oh, I am not worried about Justin, because I hate him." I smiled. "Oh, okay than." My mom looked weirdly at me. 

After, there was knocking on the door. My mom opened it. "Out of my way!!! Beautiful teeth coming through!!!" A person barged in, running into the kitchen.

Guess who it was; yup. It was Justin. "Justin, what are you doing?!" I asked. "Have you ever heard of showing off?" Justin smiled, showing off his teeth.

His teeth were shiny, perfect and white. They were also shiny. Didn't I say that already? Oh. No. Because no one cares.

"Justin, do you think I am stupid?" 

"Yes." Justin smirked.

"Oh be quiet." I said, walking upstairs.

On monday, it was time to go to school. Me and Justin ran out the door and yelled "WE'RE LATE!!!" as the bell rang. I rushed down the hall and I slammed my classroom door. Everybody was staring at me, even Amy. I felt uncomfortable and Justin laughed with Logan. I was just standing there, sweating.   

"George, you know that your late, right?" Amy asked in front of the whole class. "Hey" I exclaimed, waving awkwardly at her. "George Smith! Go to the office and get your late slip!" My teacher yelled. "Sorry Mrs. Diken." I blushed with embarrassment.

***********************************************************************************************

So it was lunch time and I was hungry. Usually at the lunch table, Amy always sits in front of me. Ok. This will sound weird but it's true. I always wear a shirt with a pocket in it and in that pocket is a paper folded 10 times that tells me what to do when I am in front of a girl. I know. Weirdo, aren't I?

"Amy, today I am going to the movies and I was wondering if you'd like to come with me." I said nervously. "Sure! I am free so, yeah! I will come! What time do we meet at the theater?" Amy asked. "Around 5:00" I replied, running to homeroom. I was so happy that she said that. 

It soon struck the end of the day and I went home to get suited up. "Justin? Does this look good on me?" I asked Justin.

I was wearing a white suite that had a flower on the front. 

"According to great science, you look--" Justin started, but I interrupted with the line "Handsome?" "No. You look like a hippo, my dear brother." I lightly slapped his head. "Where are you even going, George?" Justin asked. "I am going to the movies with Amy." "Oooooooohhhhh, can I go too?!"Justin yelled. "NO, ITS ONLY ME AND AMY!!!" 

I yelled back. Justin did the puppy eyes on me, which I could never resist. What? He did it so well!

"Fine. I said. "YYYYYYYYYYYYYEA!!!" Justin yelled. So both of us ran to the car.
