Is This for Real

Chapter Seven

JUSTIN'S POV

  I dropped Caitlin's hand in an instant. "What was-"

  "Paparazzi," I said cutting her off and rushing into the building as Caitlin followed.

  "Justin we need to go. Now," Scooter said as he saw Caitlin and I.

  "I know. I saw the paparazzi. I'll find everyone." I walked to the buffet area and saw Tori, Chaz, Ryan, and Christian standing there. "We have to go."

  "Why?" Christian asked.

  "Paparazzi."

  "You've been fine with the paparazzi before. Why let them get you down now?" Ryan asked.

  I hesitated a bit before answering. "They...saw something."

  "What?" Christian asked.

  "I'll tell you later."

  They shrugged and followed me to my car. Caitlin and Tori rode with Scooter. "So what happened out there between you and Caitlin?" Chaz asked.

  "I guess it's better for you guys to hear it from me than see it on the front page of a magazine. Caitlin and I were holding hands. We're actually- and Christian, don't freak out- Caitlin and I are dating."

  "I didn't freak out the first time. I won't freak out the second time," Christian said calmly. "Just don't hurt her."

  "I would never do that. She's beautiful, amazing, talented, the way her eyes-"

  "Cool it, Bieber. We know you're in love. We don't need a whole lecture," Chaz cut me off causing us all to laugh.

  "Do you guys want to stay at place tonight?" I heard a chorus of yes and sure. "I'll just ask my mom and see if that will work."

  When I got home, I asked my mom if they could spend the night and she said yes. Too bad I can't play pranks, though. Maybe I'll play a prank on one of the guys, who knows!

TORI'S POV

  Scooter dropped us off and Caitlin and I went inside.

  "Hey Tori?" Pattie asked.

  "Yes?"

  "If Caitlin wants to spend the night here and hang out with you, she can."

  "Sure. I'd love that," Caitlin said before I even had time to say anything.

  "But, I don't know the first thing about sleep overs!" I exclaimed. After all, I'd never had one before!

  "I'll just go home and get my stuff and then we're cramming thirteen years of sleep overs into one night!" Caitlin exclaimed while heading towards the door.

  She left and Pattie gave me some advice. "Keep your door locked at night, though. You never know what kind of pranks those boys could be thinking of."

  When Caitlin got back, she had loads of stuff in her hands. "Want some help?" I asked.

  "Yes please." She handed me her pillow and her sleeping bag and we walked upstairs to my bedroom. "What do you want to do first?"

  "I don't know."

  "Let's do our nails. What color do you want?" She pulled out a bag full of nail polish.

  "Neon pink, please."

  "Good choice." Caitlin did my nails and I did hers in a sparkly blue.

  "I know!" Caitlin exclaimed after we were done watching a movie later that night.

  "What?" I asked excitedly.

  "We should prank the boys!"

  "But how?"

  "I have a few tricks up my sleeve. Want to hear what I have planned?" I nodded for her to continue. "First, we wait until they're asleep. Then we go in Justin's room with permanent marker and purple nail polish. One of us polishes the boys' nails, and the other draws a mustache on each of their faces."

  "I like that idea, but what if we get caught?"

  "We won't. I did these kind of things all the time to them when I was younger."

  "Okay. Let's prank them."

  "I'll go check if they're asleep."

  She came back and said that they were asleep. We grabbed purple nail polish and a red permanent marker. We tiptoed across the hall and into Justin's room. Caitlin said that she'd polish their nails so I'll draw the mustaches.

  Caitlin pointed to Christian which meant she was going to start with him. I pointed to Justin. He's the first one to get a mustache. I took the cap off of the marker and steadied my hand. I drew a handle bar mustache on a sleeping Justin. I gave Caitlin a thumbs up to tell her I was finished. I pointed to Chaz and went onto to give him, Ryan and Christian mustaches. When fifteen minutes was up, we had pulled off the prank.

  We went back to my room and went to sleep thinking of what the boys reactions would be when they woke up.

  We woke up to someone swinging my door open and people storming in. I looked up and saw Justin, Christian, Ryan, and Chaz all standing there with purple nails and red mustaches. Caitlin and I were awake and burst out laughing.

  "You think this is funny, eh?" Justin asked. "Well it's not." He came over, picked me up, and carried me out of my room with Caitlin following. Despite my attempts to get free from his grasp, he still held onto me. He brought me into his room, set me on his bed, and the boys walked into his closet. When they came out, Caitlin and I were being sprayed with silly string.

  "This will teach you not to prank us!" Christian yelled as we tried to run out. But Ryan was blocking the door so it was no use.

  "The closet!" Caitlin yelled. She ran in there and came back out with two cans of silly string. "Tori! Catch!" I caught the silly string and immediately started spraying it.

  When all of our cans ran out, Pattie walked upstairs. "What is going on?" she asked.

  Justin answered first. "Caitlin and Tori pranked us last night so we sprayed them with silly string. They found cans of it, so it just turned into a silly string war."

  "Sounds fun. But now you need to clean it up." Pattie walked out and when she walked past me she whispered in my ear,"I liked the mustaches. They were a nice touch." I giggled and so did Caitlin. Then we began to clean up the mess. All in all, it was a great sleep over.
