Justin-
I wait for her to respond. She opens her mouth to speak, but she gasps and stands up quickly. I stand up with her "What?" I say in confusion. She points a finger and starts walking towards a homeless man on the sidewalk. I was so confused at this point. What was she doing? She was now placed in front of the homeless man, and she took his sign away that said "Help, need change"
I walked up and whispered in her ear "What are you doing?"
She shuttered from my breath on her neck, but she just flipped some hair with her hand and took out a pen. She started writing something on the other side of the sign. She placed it on the man's lap and he read it. He smiled at her and nodded his head, as if he was saying thank you. He put the sign up for people to see. I read the sign and it said "I bet you $1 that you're reading this sign"
I looked at Ceci and laughed "Nice job, but...why did you do that?"
She smiled and took my hand. I stopped her "Wait" and I took a dollar out of my pocket. I handed it to the man and he shook my hand, as another thanks. I nodded my head and walked with Ceci back to the bench. She sighed softly and took out a blue paper from her jean pocket. She took her pen and crossed something out. She then put the paper back in her pocket and looked up at me.
"It's my bucket list" she finally answered me.
I raised an eyebrow "Bucket list?"
She nodded "It's a list of things you wanna do before a certain deadline" she put much emphasis on the word "dead". I nodded "List before you die basically?"
She shrugged "I guess you can say it like that" she stare at her black painted nails.
I shook my hair "So i'm guessing, changing a homeless man's sign is on your list?"
She smiled "No" she looked at me "I was putting humor into people's day"
I looked back and saw people laugh at the sign. They were also giving the man dollar bills. He looked so happy. I turned back to see Ceci with her eyes closed. She did that a lot, and I didn't like it. I liked to observe her green eyes.
"Well, mission accomplished. So i'm guessing THIS is on your list as well" I pointed to the candy shop when Ceci opened her eyes again. She rolled her eyes "Yepp. I didn't expect her to go this far. But oh well" and she stood up. I stood up too and we went into the shop.
Abby bought 7 bags full of candy. Chocolate, twizzlers, skittles, you name it! She got it in all those bags.
"I am NEVER going hungry again!" she noisily stuffed a chocolate bar in her mouth. Ceci looked disgusted, and I just laughed.
Ceci turned towards me "I'm sorry you have to see this, she's only polite around dogs" she shook her head. I nodded and just smiled "That's a'ight. I got two little monsters at home"
Abby was now leading us to a mall downtown. There lots of people walking around in shorts, tank tops, flip flops and it was just so summery. I felt so out of place with my supras. I put my hands in the pockets of my jeans and followed the Johnson sisters into the huge shopping center.
Cecilia-
Justin was quiet most of the way, I regret bringing him. He must be bored out of his little mind. Well, maybe not little. Abby walked into a store called "Girl Talk" I rarely went to the mall when Abby and my mom went. I felt like such a material girl when I walked into this place. It gave me bad vibes all around. I stayed outside with Justin on a bench, waiting for Abby to be done searching.
I turned to him biting his nails. He looked at me and stopped "Sorry, bad habit"
I shrugged and looked at my own nails. I need to repaint them. I got up and took Bieber's hand. We walked over to a stand that sold ice cream. I ordered two cookies and cream. I stared at Justin "Oh sorry, did you want to order something else?" I always forget to ask. He shook his head "No, cookies and cream is my favorite" he smiled sweetly.
I smiled at his white teeth and took the cones from the lady. We both walked over to the bench again. I sat at the end while he sat on the other end. I wanted to think of the places we could go to accomplish my list. Maybe the park? One of the things I could do was play with a stranger's dog. Mm, i don't know. I didn't really like dogs, after Penelope. But i'd still do it.
I put one of my hands on my chin and thought deeply. About Justin, about life, about the afterlife.
Justin-
She looked so perfectly posed when she sat on the other side of the bench. I took my camera from my back pocket and quickly took a snapshot of her. I looked at the picture and smiled to myself. Like an angel from above. I put the camera away before she turned around.
"Why you sitting so far Bieber?" she giggle and patted the space next to her. I scooted my whole body over to her and just extended my arm over her shoulder. I laid my hand on the bench, but I was close to putting my arm around her.
She stared at me smiling.
"What?" I asked, giving her a grin.
She looked back at my arm then at my face "You do this to girl's often Justin?"
I shook my head "Nah" I took my hand and carefully put a strand of her red hair behind her ear. I then stroked her face softly. She looked deep into my eyes. Her lips were calling me, longing for mine. But, so were Veronica's.
Cecilia-
His phone vibrated when I got two inches close to his face. I backed away, letting him answer. He seemed mad when it vibrated. He tapped his iphone "What?" he said, aggrivated. I could hear the whiny voice at the other end. I'm guessing that was his girlfriend?
"Justin! Baby! You didn't answer your phone" I heard her yell.
Justin rolled his eyes "I'm sorry babe. I was unpacking" he bit his nails again. Hmm, wonder why he did that.
Her voice whined out again "Alright, but don't do it again! I need you to help me decide. Which color looks best on me, try to remember. Aqua or magenta?"
He stopped biting his nails and looked at me. I bit my lip and giggled softly. I mouthed to him "Magenta"
He nodded and smiled "Magenta babe" he mouthed "Thanks"
I nodded and just closed my eyes. I laid my head back, and just placed it on Justin's arm.
He continued talking to Veronica, after mm, 2 minutes? He was getting really annoyed of her. Why didn't he just break up with her? He finally hung up and looked at me, napping on his arm. He tapped me and I opened my eyes. I looked at him.
"Why do you bite your nails?" I asked.
He stopped biting his nails, for the third time "Oh uhm. I don't know. I just...I get nervous sometimes, so I bite em"
I studied his face and just sighed "You should stop. Your nails will look ugly. And Justin Bieber shouldn't have ugly nails" I touched his hand with mine. He half smiled and intwined his fingers with mine. I blushed and just layed my head onto his shoulder.
Abby was almost done, thank god. I didn't want to get up though. This was quite nice.
Justin-
Abby came out and she had two bags full of clothes in her hands. She put the bags of candy inside those shopping bags. Ceci sighed angrily and we walked out of the mall, still hand in hand. Abby lead us to the park next. I wonder what she wanted to do there.
Suddenly she sat on the bench and just dropped all her bags. I think she was tired. Ceci and I stood in front of her.
"You done? I'd love to stay and help you, but we got lives" Ceci said.
Abby looked at her with no expression "Fine whatever, go ahead with your boyfriend" she hissed when she said boyfriend. I laughed "I'm not her boyfriend Abby" I said.
She stared at our hands "Uh huh, whatever" and she stood up again. She took the bag and started walking home.
"Where are you going?" Ceci yelled after her.
"What do you think you donut!" she yelled back and she kept on walking.
Ceci smiled to herself and she took me to the fountain in the middle of the park. She took out a penny and closed her eyes. A second later, she threw it into the fountain. I looked at her and took out a penny myself. I closed my eyes and a second later, threw the penny in. I know it was for wishing, and I wished to have the best summer with Cecilia. I think she wished the same, with me.
