You could see it in her eyes. She was in pain. Even though Bethany said she wasn't going to cry over him she did anyway. He was just to precious to her.That person was Justin, he was new in her school and was completely goreous. Bethany and Justin quickly became friends. After a few weeks Bethany realized she was in love with Justin just like every other girl in her school. Justin already explained his feelings about her , he just wanted to be friends. Bethany was all right with that though she wanted to be more than friends. She figured if she liked him she would want to be friends than be nothing at all. But then things got weird between them and Bethany thought Justin changed his mind. Bethany asked her friend Sarah to ask if Justin liked her and her friend reported back that he was completely mad for her! Bethany thought this would never happen, but then she looked back and realized she might actually have a chance. It seemed like foor the past few weeks Justin was flirting with her. Bethany was so excited! Bethany even went out on a limb to ask him to go to the mall (as friends of course). Justin, thinking it really was just as friends, agreed. When they got to the mall, Justin put his arm over Bethany's shoulder in a best friend sort of way. Well, Bethany took this as Justin making a move. Once they got into the elevator, Bethany stood on her toes and kissed Justin full blown! After a few seconds,Bethany realized Justin was kissing her back so she slowly leaned back with a smile on her facce that slowly deteriorated when she saw Justin's appalled look. When Bethany asked him isn't that what he wanted Justin screamed "of course thats not what i wanted, i already told you how i feel about you and all the other girls in our school, i only wanted to be friends." Justin calmed down realizing that he just yelled at Bethany for no reason.The only thing Bethany could do was say things like 'Oh' and 'I'm sorry'. Bethany was about to cry. She was very upset, why would her best friend, Sarah, do this to her? She had the nerve to look Justin in the eyes and ask if he had talked to Sarah lately. He said no and that he doesn't even know who sarah is. The elevator sent off a ding to let them know they were at the top floor. Justin tried to tell Bethany he might be having feelings for her as he really liked the feel of the kiss they just shared. But Bethany rushed out the door...

...Bethany had to find Sarah fast!How could she do this to her. They were supposed to be best friends i mean they have been friends since preschool. i guess people change... Bethany could hear Justin screaming her name but she rushed out the mall to go to Sarah's house.

Justin thought he comepletely messed up. he kept thinking she was mad because he yelled at her. He saw her run out the mall, and he tried to rush after her but when he got outside th mall all he saw was alot of teenagers either making out or smoking."I can't believe I let her get away!" thought Justin, "I have to go to her house." Justin was only two minutes away from her house. When Justin got there, he knocked on the door. Bethany's mom came to the door.
"May I help you?" asked Bethany's mom.
"Is Bethany home?" asked Justin.
"No, she isn't, she went to the mall with some boy named Justin."
"Oh, ok thankyou." Justin said as he walked to his car.

Bethany was tired when she got to Sarah's house because she ran the whole way. Bethany knocked on the door. Sarah opened the door with a sly smile on her face. Bethany was so mad she slapped Sarah across her face!
Sarah screamed, "What was that for?"
"Like you don't know." said Bethany.
"What?!?!" asked Sarah confused
"Why did you tell me Justin liked me?" pleaded Bethany
Sarah shrugged,"Oh thaat, I was just having a little fun, I never thought you would believe me."
"Well I did, and I think I just lost my bestfriend" cried Bethany...

...Bethany and Sarah haven't spoken since that day. Justin has not spoken to Bethany for a while either, because he thought she didn't like him anymore. One day in the hallway, Justin runs into Bethany, and he gets a tingling feeling as he looks into her eyes.
" Can I talk to you after school today?" Justin asks.
"Um, I guess where do you want to meet?" asks Bethany.
"Is my house ok? My mom will still be at work if that is ok with your parents."
"Ok, I will meet you there." said Bethany.
At the end of the day Bethany was walking towards Justin's house when someone comes up behind her, the person says I know you are mad at me but let me finish please. Bethany was furious. Sarah had the nerve to come up to her and ask to talk!?!? Bethany ignored her and kept walking...

anyway...

... Finally, Bethany arrived at Justin's house. She knocked on the door.
"Come in. It is unlocked." She heard Justin yell.
"Hello, Justin?" she said.
"Yeah babe I'm in the kitchen"
Bethany walks into the kitchen. Did he just call me babe?
"Did you just call me babe?" Bethany said softly.
"I didn't hear you what did you say?" Justin asked.
"Never mind" said Bethany.
Bethany and Justin walked into his living room. Justin sat on the couch and patted the seat next to him. Bethany nervously sat next to him.
"so... we need to talk" Justin said.
Before Bethany could answer he started talking again.
"I know I said I didn't like you more than a friend, but when you kissed me I... felt... something" He said looking down.
Bethany was shocked;she couldn't even speak.
"Ok I understand if you don't like me anymore" said Justin sadly.
"no no no I was just shocked I still like you Justin" said Bethany shyly"
...I think this is where Amber went to let me see..." Sarah looked through the window and saw Bethany and Justin KISSING! I can't believe it. They got together?...
