Chapter 8, Justin

*sorry if there's any typos or anything. my keyboard is really dumb =P*

I roll over in bed. I'm still really tired. I barely remember what happened at last night. God, that was fun. After we finished playing truth or dare (Best. Game. Ever.), the girls came back to my house with us and we had some drinks and hung out in the hot tub. We did some other stuff, but I don't really remember anything else, besides calling a cab to take the girls home since, obviously, none of us were able to drive. It was a good thing my mom had to leave on that business trip yesterday afternoon.


Ugh. I pull myself out of bed, and look around. Whoa. What happened to my room? There's cans and cups and bottles all over the place, and my dresser is laying on the floor. How the hell...? I walk towards the door, and then quickly realize that I need to move much slower. I have the worst hangover ever. I pull a shirt over my head and go downstairs.

Ryan's laying on the couch, holding his head. I wonder if he has a headache as horrible as mine. As I'm walking to the kitchen, I see Christian passed out of the floor. Poor guy. He almost never drinks. This is why.

I take some asprin and give some to Ryan, too. God, my head is throbbing. I feel like crap. I lay down on the floor, praying that my head will feel better soon.

Then Christian starts to wake up, groaning. He slowly sits up. "Oh my god, this is why I don't drink." I throw the asprin bottle at him. He takes four.

I sit up. "So, what exactly happened last night?" I ask. "I don't remember anything after the hot tub, besides calling a cab for the girls."

Ryan glances at me. "You don't remember?"

I slowly shake my head. "Nope."

"Oh, dude," Christian says. "Kelsey was all over you."

"She was?"

Ryan nods. "Oh yeah. It was sickening to watch."

Appantly I drank A LOT more than Ryan or Chirstian, because they remember a lot more than I do. According to them, Kelsey and I were all over each other, and we were making out almost all night. "So, what happened with you guys?"

Ryan sighs. "Well, Nicole was actually pretty boring. She didn't drink that much and she didn't want to do anything. I should've let Christian have her."

"Uh-uh, no way dude. I LOVED Chloe," Christian says. He grins. "We had a great time."

I chuckle. "I bet. I need to call Alexis."

They look at me, confused. "Why?" they both say.

"Because she has to tutor me. She'll most likely want to get it over with as soon as possible, so she'll want to study today."

Ryan smiles. "So what do you have in mind for you guys today?"

I sigh. "Nothing. We're actually going to study."

"Whatever man." Ryan gets up and grabs his jacket. "Well, I'm outta here. You coming Christian?"

He nods. "Yeah."

"See ya, guys." They nod goodbye and leave. I sigh. I pull out my phone and dial Alexis's number. I'm thinking that she's not going to answer but then I hear her pick up.

"Hello?"

"Alexis?"

"Oh. It's you." Her tone mmediatly changes. She sounds annoyed. "What do you want?"

"Uhm, I was wondering if you could come over and we could study?"

I hear someone in the background say, "What's he want?" Then Alexis shh's them.

"No thanks, Bieber," Alexis says. "I don't want to 'study'."

I roll my eyes, forgetting that she can't see me. "C'mon, Alexis, I'm serious. I actually want to study!"

"I don't believe you."

I hear the voice in the background again. "I think he's telling the truth!"

"Shut up!" Alexis snaps.

"I am telling the truth!" I say. "Please Alexis. I promise I won't try anything."

She sighs. "Fine. But if you try anything..."

"I won't."

"Fine. I'll be there in ten." She hangs up.

I smile and close my phone. YES!





Alexis should be here any second. I change my shirt one last time. I keep changing. I need to calm down. We're just studying.

The door bell rings. I jump up and run downstairs. I open the door, and there's Alexis. She looks amazing. She's wearing a lime green halter top and a denim skirt with white leggings underneath. I want to kiss her so bad. I move aside and let her in.

"So, you wanna go up to my room?" She shoots me a look, and I add, "And study?"

"Sure."

We go up to my room and sit on the bed. It's just like last time.

She takes out her chemistry book and opens to the chapter we're working on. She starts to explain it, but I'm really not paying attention. Her hair keeps falling in her face, so she's constantly pushing it back behind her ear. It falls into her face again, and I reach out and push it behind her ear for her. She turns to look at me. "Justin..."

"I wasn't trying anything," I say. "I was just being helpful."

She nods, and goes back to explaining the chapter. I don't understand anything she's talking about. I stare at her, her beautiful face, her soft pink lips, her gorgeous eyes. She notices me staring at her and looks at me funny. "What are you doing?"

"Do you wanna go out with me?" I ask. Whoa, where did that come from? I didn't even mean to ask that.

She frowns. "Uhm, no. And you said you wouldn't try anything."

"I'm not trying anything, I'm asking a question. Do you want to go out with me?"

"No, I don't."

"Why?"

"I just don't."

"You know you like me."

"I don't like you. I hate you."

"No you don't.

"Yes, I do."

"Prove it."

"Fine, I will." She grabs my shirt and pulls me towards her. She kisses me, long and passionate. Then she pulls back, lets go of my shirt, and looks me in the eye. "See? I didn't feel a thing. If I liked you, I would've felt something. And I didn't. I think I should go now." She picks up her stuff and leaves, without saying goodbye.

I'm speechless. Did she really just kiss me? Yeah, she did. I can't believe she just kissed me. And I just sat there. I didn't grab her, put my arms around her waist, nothing. I just sat there, like a dummy. I can't believe it. I'm actually falling for Alexis. Oh my god.
