She got them all a coke and sat down on the couch. It was almost like
they had never seen a girl before. Anyway, not one that just liked to sit
around her house with them. They asked her question after question for at
least an hour before she got fed up.
"So, Gordie," She began "your girlfriend, Cara, what's she like?" As if she had ask a question that would bring the plague Vern and Chris sighed and said "Here we go again" in a very unenthusiastic voice.
"Well," He began clearing his throat. "She beautiful, smart, funny, kind, and over all just my type."
"Whoa, back up," Justi interrupted "You have a type?!"
"Yes, I do." Either he was choosing to ignore it or he just hadn't caught it.
"Anyway," Chris began. "You don't want to hear about Cara from Gordie. You're better off just meeting her."
"Lets go."
"Now?"
"No in forty years, yes, now, why Chambers you got somethin' better to do, or should I say someone better to do? He just kind of looked at her that was the coolest thing he'd heard out of a girl's mouth since Cara and the nub comment to her younger sister. And it wasn't because it was sick, or that she had a sense of humor, but because she was joking with him not like most of the other girls who when they said that really meant "Fuck off."
"Gordie?" Justi had been trying to ask him a question for about a half an hour, until she decided it wasn't worth the hassle and that it was better to just give up.
About an hour later Vern had gotten home and they decided to go for a walk.
"I want pez." Vern's voice pierced the silence Justi was about to say something herself the silence was deafening.
"Yeah Vern, I think you just like to say pez. Plus I mean when don't you want some kind of food?" Teddy had laughed.
"Teddy," Justi began her sentence and the thought twice. "Never mind ok, just never mind."
As stimulating as the other's conversation was, Chris and Justi decided to break away from the group and go for a walk alone.
"So I take it you know Teddy already huh?" Chris had broken the silence just as Vern had before.
"What makes you say that?" She asked innocently.
"Just the way you two kept looking at each other."
"Well, the answer to your question is yeah. I do know him."
"How, if you don't mind me asking"
"I've been here before, about a year ago only for a few days but Teddy was always around." She stopped and looked at him. His blue eyes were deep as oceans but they were also curious and content with life all at the same time."So I kind of liked him and he kind of liked me."
"And?!"
"And," she thought. "You're by far worse than a school girl looking for gossip, chambers."
"Common, you can't do that, you can't just start a story and then not finish it!"
"FINE! And we kissed, are you happy now?!?!"
"No. Not really."
"Why not, aw, little Chrissy jealous of Teddy?!"
""Maybe. Maybe not."He said with a smug look on his face.
"Fine!" She gave up the battle it was obvious she wasn't going to win.
He looked at her she was one of those interesting people like Teddy, you never expected, whatever it was, she was going to do next.
"So you want me to walk you home?" He offered.
"Nah., that's ok, I'll be fine" The truth is she would be, they had stopped only five minutes away from her house. With that they got up and walked in separate directions to their homes.
"Do you know what time it is?!" She heard a voice whisper from behind her, and she turned around only to see Billy sitting at the kitchen table waiting for her. "Where have you been?!"
"Out." She replied simply, she understood why Billy was mad, Vern's Mom and Dad had left for the summer and left Billy in charge. "With Chris."
"I'm gonna kill 'im, better yet, I'll call Eyeball and have him do it!"
"FUCK OFF!" She yelled back. She was angry now. "Who the hell died and made you king?! I mean seriously who the hell do you think you are?!"
"Dammit Justine!"
"WHAT?!" She yelled back.
"You're Pissin' me off you little whore so just, just piss off!"
"WHY?! Why should I, you don't own me I don't answer to you, you are NOT my father! My Father DIED!" And with that she ran upstairs. She couldn't repress the tears any longer. She'd cried herself to sleep that night.
Meanwhile Vern and Billy slept like babies in the rooms next door.
As usual she woke up to a knock on the door only this time there was a female voice mixed in with the voices of the boys.
"Hi, my name's Cara." A tall, skinny, blonde said.
"Hey! Are those mine" Vern interrupted
"Mine now," Justi said with a laugh, almost a week ago Justi had taken a pair of Vern's boxers to sleep in, he hadn't used them yet, but that really wasn't the point, anyway, she had never returned them to him. "Vernie, do you really want them back? I mean common."
"Nah. Keep 'em."
"Food. I need to eat, must have FOOD."
Everyone laughed at this except Cara who, much like Justi, lived for food.
"OH! Me too!" Cara yelled from the next room.
"Ok." Justi said "Come and get it!"
"In a second!" At the moment Cara and Gordie were busy doing "other things" of more importance.
"Ok." She said with a laugh.
By this time Justi had gotten up and walked out of the living room to the kitchen.
"So," Cara began "Who do you like so far? I mean as long as it's not Gordie, he's mine Bitch" She giggled then continued " If you don't like him, why in the hell not, what's wrong with him?!"
"Nothing," Justi started looking a little confused at Cara's run on question. "He's sweet but, I just like him better I think for me, as a friend. That's all. In other words, there is absolutely nothing wrong with him, it's just me."
"So Who do you like?"
"Someone."
"Teddy?"
"What?" Teddy asked entering the Kitchen upon hearing his name.
"Nothing I forgot, sorry" Cara answered instantaneously. After Teddy left, she continued.
"Teddy?" She whispered.
"Once upon a time, but as of now, no."
"Vern?"
"GOD NO!"
"Gordie?"
"We already went over that."
"Chris?"
"Will you shut the fuck up if I tell you?!"
"I promise I will."
"Yes fine it's Chris ok, dammit Chris, now shut the fuck up not a word to anyone I mean it!"
"Well, he likes you too. He told me so."
"Yeah."
"No he did. I swear it."
"Ok then we'll see what happens but not another word about ok?"
"Yeah, ok"
"Lets go before they come looking for us."
"Hah. They don't like either of us enough to prey themselves away from The Lone Ranger." She laughed.
Later that night Cara had told Chris about what Justi and her had talked about, I mean the only reason she had asked is because Chris had said he liked her and he was wondering what she felt, so she'd taken it upon herself to find out, that and she wanted to start a conversation with Justine to make sure she wasn't some kind of whore who was using everyone.
"Well, I like her, she likes me, what do I do?"
"Get a life."
"I was being serious Cara!"
"And so was I"
