"Liss, wait up girl!" Britney called as she jogged over to her best friend "What's up?"

"Oh nothing much." Melissa said distractedly "Just thinking."

"About..." Britney asked confused.

"Nevermind." Melissa said.

"Oh, ok." Britney sighed, getting the picture that Liss didn't want to talk about whatever the problem was.

"Hey Brit, do you remember our curly haired partner in crime?" Melissa asked.

"You mean that cutie Justin?" Britney asked.

"Exactly," Melissa said,"Well um... I kinda saw him last night."

"Do what?" Britney exclaimed excitedely. "Where, is he back here in Memphis or something?"

"Not exactly," Melissa admitted.

"Ok, now I'm confused," Britney whined.

"He was on T.V.- you know that new pop group that like everyone's listening to?" Liss asked.

"Yea, it's like *N SYNC or something," Brit responded. "Yea, well um- he's a member of that group... I saw a performance on T.V. last night and I recognized him right away!" Liss exclaimed.

"Oh my God, no way!" Brit squealed.

"Yea, come on- I taped it. Let's go over to my house and watch it," Liss said jogging to her car.

"Cool!" Brit replied hopping into the passenger side.

"So, is he a good singer?" Britney asked.

"Hell yeah, girl. He's one of the lead singers," Liss informed her friend.

"I just can't believe this, one of our old best friends, one of our partners in crime- a star! It's too weird!" Brit exclaimed.

"I know!" Liss sighed, pulling her car into the driveway of her house.

"This is gonna be so weird!" Brit said.

~~~~~~~~~~*45 minutes later*~~~~~~~~~~

"Wow!" Brit sighed. "He looks so good!"

"I know, right?" Liss replied dreamily.

"Hey, um look girl... I'm gonna go home and do my homework and then I was thinking we could go shopping... um, you wanna?" Brit said.

"Sure." Liss agreed smiling to herself and thinking about a huge surprise for her dear friend Britney.

"Ok, cool. Um, talk to ya later girl! Bye!" Britney said as she grabbed her bookbag and headed home.
