Chapter 8

When Becky and Justin had pulled away they were both blushing. Justin had a big smile on his face as he held Becky's hand tight in his own. She was grinning back at him. But then she turned around and noticed that everyone in the hallway was watching them. She blushed harder. Justin looked down at her and realized that she looked so adorable when she blushed. She looked back at him.

"We, just kissed," she said breathlessly.

"I know," Justin said.

"What does that mean?" Becky asked him.

"I don't know. You tell me," Justin answered him, a smooth smile planted on his face. Becky blushed and looked down at their feet. He chuckled and took his hand and caressed her cheek. He brought her face slowly up so that she was looking him directly in the eyes.

"Becky, will you be my girlfriend?" he asked her. He watched on as a smile grew on her face. He grinned back in return.

"Yes," Becky said. They leaned in and kissed again. Diego who had been watching on since the kiss scowled. He glared at the back of Justin's head before he turned around and walked away.

Kristin, Wendy and Teresa who also had been watching on since the kiss walked over to Becky and Justin.

"Hey guys," the two greeted.

"Hey," replied the three girls in unison.

"Yo' Justin! Get over here man!" called Colin. Justin looked at Becky and she smiled. He smiled back, kissed her cheek and then he walked over to Colin.

Becky and her friends squealed in excitement.

"Wow," Kristin said. "I can't believe he asked you to be his girlfriend."

"I know. Now, I can't stop thinking about what just happened," Becky said.

"I didn't know he liked you Becky," said Teresa.

"Me either," added Wendy.

"I know, but to my surprise, I guess he does," Becky said happily. There was no mistaking the bubbly, joy filled smile that was on Becky's face. She looked back over at Justin, who was smiling and talking to Colin, when he caught her gaze, he winked at her.

She giggled and looked back at her friends.

"This is so exciting!" squealed Teresa.

"I know," added Wendy.

"We should celebrate," said Kristin. Her friends turned to her.

"By doing what?" asked Becky curiously.

"We could celebrate by a day at the mall," insisted Wendy.

"Or we could celebrate by having a sleepover," Wendy suggested.

"Or even have a party," Kristin added her two cents.

"Yeah!" the four girls cheered in unison.

"But its up to Becky on how we celebrate," Kristin said. Becky thought about it for a moment liking all of her friends' ideas.

"Let's throw a party," she said. Her friends cheered again before the bell rang over their heads. Becky closed her locker after her friends had left. Just as she put her lock on it, she felt an arm go around her. She blushed at the contact before turning around to smile at her new man.

"You know just because we're dating now, does not mean you're going to get away with anything," Becky told Justin. "Remember, I'll be watching you."

"You know what, I like the sound of that," Justin said in a mischievous playful tone. Becky giggled as he led her out of the school and over to his awaiting car.

Becky looked up at the clock above her vanity mirror. In ten minutes Justin will be there to take her on her first real date. It has only been a week since they had begun going out and the party wasn't until tomorrow, which was Friday. She was so excited and nervous too. She had never felt this way about a boy before in her entire life and it felt amazing just to even feel loved.

But, wait a second. Does Justin love Becky? Does she love him? Well, to her it felt a little too early to tell but maybe she did. She shook the thought away for the time being and instead concentrated on the task at hand; trying to get her hair out of knots.

"Hey sis," Megan said as she came into the room. Becky didn't look at Megan as she continued to yank the snarls out of her hair.

"Hey," she simply answered.

"I just can't believe it, Becky," Megan said.

"Believe what?" Becky asked her.

"You, and Justin. And this whole first date thing. And you might find the one…" Megan dropped off in a dreamy like state.

"Okay, Megs. Stay on planet Earth, k?" Becky said as she brushed the last snarl out of her hair. "We don't want you to go to planet loopy again, now do we?"

"I like planet loopy," Megan joked. "That's where all my perverted thoughts come in."

'Oh, boy' thought Becky shaking her head and rolling her eyes. "Well, ill pass on going to that planet, but you're welcome to stop by anytime."

"Okay," Megan said happily. She laughed in spite of herself. "But seriously Becky, can you actually believe it? You and Justin?"

"Yeah, of course I can," Becky said. "I'm so happy that he actually likes me."
"But what if he loves you?' Megan pondered.

"You think?" Becky asked.

"Yeah. I mean, picture this. You've known him for a while now and then he gets jealous over this other guy staring at you and then he asks you out," Megan explained. "It smells like love to me."

"No," Becky replied back. She took a whiff of the air. She coughed as too much perfume went up her nose. Megan laughed at her sister.

"It smells like too mush perfume," Becky coughed.

"Sorry," Megan said.

"It's ok," Becky told her. "But next time, Lay off the stuff. It's ruining the air I breathe."

"okay," Megan said and then skipped out of the room. Becky sat down her brush before looking at her reflection in the mirror. She was wearing the new skirt she bought a day ago that was a light green color and it cut just above her knees. She was also wearing a new blouse that hugged her nicely and new green sandals. She also had on light makeup and sparkles in her hair.

"Becky! Justin is here!" Called her mother from down the stairs. Becky breathed in and out before she grabbed her purse and then left her room. She walked slowly down the stairs and then into the living room where Justin was waiting for her as he talked to her father, Chris.

"Hey." Justin turned around and looked at Becky. Becky's smile faded slightly as she watched his eyes as they searched her to make sure she was real and not a fragment in his imagination. When their eyes met, he gave her a nod and a wink for his approval. She blushed and smiled.

"Hey, beck," he said in a calm voice.

"What do you think?"

"You look…absolutely beautiful," Justin told her. He gave her another wink, which caused her heart to flip in her chest.

"Thanks," Becky said.

"Its' about time you two headed for that movie," Chris said checking his watch. "Don't want you guys to miss out those opening credits, now do we?"

"Although that's not a bad idea," Justin whispered in her ear. Becky blushed a darker shade of pink.

"Okay, you two," said Patty, Becky's mom. "You two better go now."

"All right mom," agreed Becky. She hugged her mom and then her dad.

"Behave, Rebecca," dad warned in her ear.

"I will, daddy. I promise," said Becky and she kissed her dad's cheek.

"Good," Chris said smiling. "It was very nice meeting you young man." Chris and Justin shook hands.

"You two sir," said Justin. "I'm glad to have met you both."

"As are we," added Patty. Justin nodded and then he grabbed Becky's hand. She waved goodbye to her parents before Justin pulled her out the door and they walked over to his car. He opened the door for Becky when they walked around to the other side of his car.

"For you milady," Justin said in a gentleman like manner and he bowed in front of her. Becky giggled like a giddy schoolgirl before she slide inside and he closed the door for her. He walked back around to his side before getting in and then starting up the car.

"Do you really think I look nice?' Becky asked him as he drove down the road.

"Yes. You look beautiful," he told her. She blushed again and then looked out the window just as he parked the car. They were in front of the movie theater. They got out of the car and then walked inside the theater. Becky saw Wendy and Colin the instant they had walked in.

"Wendy!" Becky squealed. Wendy and Becky hugged.

"What're you doing here?'

"About to watch a movie. You?" said Wendy.

"the same, but I didn't know you were coming," said Becky.

"Me either," Wendy said. The girls looked at Justin and Colin.

"Was this you boys' doing?" questioned Becky. The two looked down sheepishly.

"Sorry, Becky, but yeah. We wanted to hangout more and decided to, well, ask you both out to the movies on the same night," Justin explained.

"We hope that you can forgive us," added Colin.

"Well, of course we forgive you," said Wendy.

"Yeah," agreed Becky. "What kind of girlfriends would we be if we didn't forgive the men we care about?"

"Evil ones," replied Colin. Justin nodded in agreement. Becky and We4ndy smiled.

"Well, we're not evil."

"Yeah."

"Okay, good. Then can we watch the movie?"

"Please? It's about to start in 5 minutes." The girls looked at each other and smiled. They then walked over to their boyfriends and gave them each a separate kiss on the lips. The boys smiled before they led their girls into the room to where their movie was playing.
