The supah gorg Erin (Emma Roberts) on the side! :)

“Nobody move,” Derek slowly spat through clenched teeth as he turned to look away, “Nobody look!”

I obeyed his command, tentatively turning my body towards a worried Adam and Riley.

“Guys,” Adam anxiously whispered, his eyes flashing from side to side, “Let’s sneak out the back door, he won’t notice!”

Derek grimaced, “Too late, he’s spotted me, just be cool.”

I winced as a heavy tread started to make it’s way to our table, each footstep growing louder by the second. I had failed to notice the light pitter patter of footsteps lingering behind.

“Nova,” a husky voice laughed, “It’s been a while.”

Derek reluctantly swiveled around to face a sneering Justin and politely nodded, “Justin.”

The owner of the light tread was beautiful girl, very statuesque. Her light brown eyes peeked out from behind her hulking boyfriend as she gave a timid wave, “Hello Derek.”

Derek’s eyes instantly darkened as he clenched his teeth, “Hi Bianca.”

I frowned as I studied her, she was unbelievably gorgeous and like Adam had described, had a beautiful figure, the kind you would see on the cover of the Sport’s Illustrated swimsuit issue or a nearly topless Vogue photo shoot. Her long hair that gently waved to the middle of her back pleasantly complimented her natural bronze tan and she was still striking in minimal makeup. Bianca seemed to clear at least 5’6 without the help of heels and wore a simple white blouse and short -but still modest- pencil skirt that emphasized her long legs. Needless to say, she was the kind of girl that made other every girl around her take a hit on her self esteem just by being in the same room. I pitied every girl in the room, myself included.

“Justin,” she whispered hastily, “I thought we were here to dance!” She tried to tug him away from the table, “Let’s go.”

The infamous Justin shook her off as he menacingly eyed Derek, “These your friends Nova?”

Derek’s expression remained neutral, “Yeah.”

“Then be a dear and introduce us,” Justin sneered, sarcasm lethally dripping off every word.

He quickly slid into the booth, purposely slamming into an off guard Adam and patted the empty spot for Bianca.

“So,” he smiled, holding out a hand towards Riley, “I’m not reintroducing myself to Becker so I’ll start with you, I’m Justin Peace and my babe here is Bianca.”

I cocked my head to the side, Justin Peace, how utterly ironic.

Riley cautiously eyed his hand and shook it, “Riley Colton.”

Justin turned to me, his hand outstretched.

I swallowed, “Aaron Burkley.”

Justin’s eyes seemed to light up in amusement, “So Erin, which one here’s dating you?”

Bianca gasped, nudging him. “Justin!”

I frowned, “Pardon?”

Justin shook his head, “Which one of these guys are you dating?”

Say what?

I slowly shook my head, “Um, I-I’m not gay...”

Justin laughed, “I wasn’t implying that babe.”
