From Friends to Lovers

Christy & Justin had been best friends as long as they can remember! Ever since they were in diapers & sucking on bottles, they were friends! During their elementary years, they would play together & everyone would go, "You just can't separate Christy & Justin! They're always glued together!" That's how it went until they both started middle school!1

Middle school was a time for change for Christy & Justin! Christy was interested in boys, make-up, shopping, & music like what all preppy girls like! Justin was interested in sports, sports, & sports! He would even have a soccer ball in his hand while taking that science test, & get an A on it! Justin had got brains, but Christy.....well.....let's just say that she's a not-so-smart blond! In other words, DUMB BLOND! Because of this change, Christy & Justin went their separate ways & didn't talk to each other for quite some time!2

In high school, Christy was still that DUMB BLOND & Justin was still that smart athletic freak-o-matic! They still were in their separate ways until one day in freshmen science class! "I'll pair up the partners for your projects, peoples," said Mr. Glover, "This will count as 1/2 of the final grade for the first term!" As he was reading everyone's name, he said, "Justin McKee, you'll be partners with Christy Hallowin!" When they heard their names, they couldn't believe that the smart athletic boy was to be paired up with the class dumb blond!3

When the school day was over, Justin went over to Christy's locker & told her, "Listen, we need to start working on this project this weekend! The sooner we get it done, the less worries we'll have!" Christy complained, "But I don't want to work on this project! How about you work on it, & just add my name to make sure Mr. Bill Nye Guy that I did the work too!" Justin grabbed her arm, pulled her aside, & told her, "I'm not doing OUR work by myself! Unless you want to stay back & not graduate with your friends there, then I expect you to be at my house no later than 6pm to start working on it!" Christy sighed & said, "Ok!"4

When it was 6pm at Justin's house, Justin just came home from soccer practice when his doorbell rang! It was Christy! "Wow," she said, "It's been years since I've been here!" Justin goes, "Yep, it's sure been a while!" There was silence for a while when Justin goes, "Ok, let's start finding a topic on what to work on!" Chrsity & Justin went up to his room to start working! Chrsity looked around his room & saw all the trophies that Justin won in soccer, basketball, baseball, & academics! When Christy saw them, she started to cry! "What's wrong," Justin asked!5

"Ever since middle school, we went our separate ways & did our own little thing," Christy told Justin, "I missed the old days where we'd played tag til my mom called & told me to come home, & when everyone said that we're always glued together! I missed that!" Justin was shocked! "It's ok," Justin told her! "No it's not, " she respond, "Because ever since middle school, I've had a crush on you! I really like you!" There was silence, & then Justin goes, "Well, I have a crush on you ever since middle school too! But I didn't have the time to tell you because you were with your friends while I was too busy with all my sports plus school work!" Christy & Justin looked at each other, & then they gave each other a kiss!6
