Attitude adjustment

PART 2 - The princess arrives

I woke up at 5; I was used to waking up early; I have no idea why. Becca was still asleep so I just let her be. I creep downstairs and fix myself a bowl of Captain Crunch. I was sitting on the couch watching some boring little kid show on tv when the doorbell rang. I trudge over to the door and look out the peephole. [lmfao idk what it's called] I see a 20-sommin' aged man, a big guy, and of course, the princess himself, Justin Beaver. [no offence to Justin :P I love him] I roll my eyes and open the door. Me: "Hi.." The 20-sommin' aged man, who I am guessing is Scooter, steps in like it was his home along with the other guy and Bieber. Scooter: "Are you Rebecca Bieber?" I shake my head. Me: "Heavens no. I'm Becca's best friend. Melani Summers." He nods, eyeing me. Scooter: "Well, here he is. He's staying over at Rebecca's for six months or so to fix himself up. His good image is fading down into the bad boy, player image. I'm hoping that you're good at fixing those kind of things." I nod. Total lie. But who cares? We have a whole six months to fix up this mess. How long can it take? The big, buff guy brought in his bags and set them by the door. Scooter: "Okay. We gotta go. We'll be checking by once every month to see how he's doing." I nod and they hurry out the door. Oh great. I'm alone in this room with the jerk himself, Justin Bieber. That name disgusts me. I go back to my comfy seat on the couch and grab my bowl of cereal. I was about to eat a spoonful of this stuff when his hands grab it from behind me. Justin: "Thanks! How'd you know this was my favorite?" He says, chomping down on MY cereal. Grr. Not even five minutes and this boy is ticking me off. Me: "You know, I was eating that." I say, turning to him. Justin: "And your point is?" He says with a mouthful. Ugh. Disgusting. Me: "Okay, this is MY house so you are under MY rules." He chuckles, looking me up and down. Justin: "Right. So I'm supposed to listen to a girl that's wearing teddy bear pajamas? Ha. Like that's gonna happen." I stare at him, trying to figure out what he was talking about until I look down. I realized that I hadn't changed yet. Oh god. I probably looked like a fool in front of Scooter and that big guy. Me: "Well.. Um.." Justin: "Exactly." I grunt and storm upstairs, leaving him chomping down on my breakfast. I go into my room and slam the door behind me. Becca shoots up from the floor. Becca: "Where's the gun?!" I laugh a little bit. Me: "It's just me Becca." She sighs and clutches her chest. Becca: "You scared the shit outta me Mel!" I laugh. Me: "Sorry. It's your freaking cousin down there." Becca: "Wait he's here?!" I nod and she shoots out of the bedroom. Wow. Excited much? I think so. I follow her and slide back to the couch. Justin finished my breakfast and I was pissed. Justin: "Thanks for the breakfast Melody. It was really good." I grunt. Me: "My name is MELANI. And that breakfast was MINE." He rolls his eyes. Justin: "Yeah yeah whatever. Now can you shut up? I'm trying to enjoy myself here." He gestures towards the tv. I grab the remote and shut it off. Justin: "Hey!" Me: "Heeyyy." I say while walking pass him to get a morning snack. Justin: "I was watching that!" Me: "Oh trust me, you'll get used to it. Where you're going, there will be no time for tv. Get over it." Justin: "Bitch." He mumbles. Me: "Douche." I shot back. Justin: "Whore!" He yells this time. I was about to punch his face in but Becca gave me a look that said" "Don'tDoIt" I grumble. Me: "Oh the things I do for you Becca." Justin smirks. Justin: "I can't believe I have to spend summer with... with this THING." Me: "I am not a thing! I am a girl. YOU are the THING!" He scoffs. Justin: "Look at you! I'm surprised Scooter didn't mistake you for a beast!" That did it. I walk right over to the princess and my fist jerks out; making him yelp in pain. Me: "Happy birthday!" He glares at me while holding his cheek. Becca: "Melani." She raises an eyebrow. Me: "What? The princess deserved it. I am NOT giving him any special treatment just because we have to fix him up. He HAS to learn, on his own, NOT to mess with me." Becca sighs and grabs a steak from the fridge. Becca: "Think fast Bieber." She flings the meat to him and he catches it; holding it to his cheek. That's when mom comes downstairs. Oh goodie. Now I get to have "the speech" She rubs her eyes. Mom: "Oh hi Justin." Me: "You know him?" I stare at her in awe. Mom: "Of course! Uh... He's.. He's famous isn't he?" She knew something I didn't, and I could tell she was hiding it on purpose. She smiles but when Justin turns to face her, it fades away. Mom: "Oh my gosh. What happened?" He glares over at me and she turns to face me. Mom: "Melani Ann Summers. What have you done?" Me: "He started it." I mumble. Mom: "I don't care who started it. What did you do to this young man?" Me: "I punched him. But he was just begging for it!" She rolls her eyes and turns to Justin. Mom: "I'm sorry about my daughter's behavior. She tends to punch when she's mad." He nods but glares at me again. Mom: "Well then let's eat some breakfast." I roll my eyes, remembering that Justin ate my breakfast. Me: "Not hungry." then I go upstairs to my room. I decide to change so Justin won't make fun of me for my PJ's. I grab a white tank top and black shorts out of my dresser. I plug my iPod into the speakers and start dancing around while changing. You Belong With Me came on and I start dancing crazy, with my shirt off, along with my bra. The door bursts open and there stands Justin. Me: "Oh my god!" I cover myself but he just stands there, staring, jaw-dropped, frozen. What the hell? Justin: "I.. Uh.. Was looking for the bathroom. Nice dance moves Lani." I growl. Me: "My name's MELANI." He grins. Justin: "Cool. So where's the bathroom Lani?" Ugh. Is he purposely trying to ruin my summer?! Me: "Last door on the right, doofus." I say through gritted teeth. Justin: "Okay. Bye Lani." GAH! He turns and walks out of the room. I slam the door shut and lock it this time. I hate Justin Bieber. For life. I finish getting dressed and get back downstairs. Justin: "Hey Lani." Me: "Stop calling me that!" I wanted to stop thinking about daddy. He's the only one who called me that. Stop thinking about him Melani! Justin: "Why not?" I could feel my lip quivering and I slide down the wall. Me: "Just 'cause." I hide my face in my knees and a small tear runs down my cheek. Justin: "Cause what? Why are you on the floor? Why are you hiding your face?" I grumble. Me: "You ask a lot of questions. Just shut up already. I don't wanna talk about it." He mumbles something and that was the end of the convo. [Okay imma skip to the next day, Monday, the beginning of the last week of school.] I woke up pretty early today; a little earlier than usual. So did Becca. We decide to prank Justin. Becca grabs my makeup bag. I get the lipstick and Becca gets the eyeshadow. I nod and the makeover begins. I inch my way towards his face but a hand stops me. I scream and jump up. So does Becca. Justin: "You really think that you could prank THE prankster?" He says without opening his eyes. I roll my eyes. Me: "Well wake up. We've gotschool remember?" He pops up. Justin: "Oohh yes. Cheerleaders!" Me: "Oh right. About that. Scooter says you have to stick with us. No one else." He grumbles. Me: "And our cheerleaders are WAY out of your league." Justin: "Yeah sure whatever." Me: "Anyways, they would never get in bed with you." Justin: "Whoa whoa whoa. Who says anything about fucking? I may be a bad boy and stuff, but I am still saving that for the special girl I marry." "Sure." Me and Becca say at the same time. He groans and stands up. His hair is all over the place and I notice that he's shirtless. He scratches his stomach then goes to the bathroom. Becca: "Today should be interesting. Did you tell him about the uniforms?" Me: "Nope. He'll just have to find out at school." She nods and we get our uniforms. We change in the other bathrooms but put regular clothes over them so Justin doesn't know. Me: "Hey mom can you make some pancakes?" I say when we're all done changing. Mom: "Sure sweetie." I sit on the couch while she makes breakfast, Becca next to me. Justin: "Have you guys seen my comb?" He says from the top of the stairs. Me: "No. Why?" Justin: "Uh. My hair. Duh. It's like, a chick magnet." Me and Becca burst out laughing. "Surreeee..." We said.

*JUSTIN'S POV*

I walk around, looking for my comb in Melani's room. Then a picture frame on her desk catches my eye. I walk closer to it and get wide eyes as I figure out who the two people were in that picture. One person was me, for sure. And the other... Was my best friend when I was nine.. How does Melanihave this picture?

*MELANI'S POV*

He comes downstairs. Me: "Hey where's your bruise?" I say, eyeing his cheek. Justin: "Don't have one." I look closely and rub the spot where I punched him. He yelps. Me: "Oh my god. Are you wearing MAKEUP?" I turn to Becca and we start laughing. Justin: "Just shut up. I am NOT going to school with a big purple mark on my face." I roll my eyes. Me: "Fine. I'll shut up. For now." When everyone's all done eating we start walking out. Me and Becca aren't old enough to drive yet, and we don't trust Justin driving my future car. Justin: "Why can't we take that car?" Me: "Because. We're only 15." Justin: "Yeah. And I'm 16. Come on." I pull him back. Me: "No. We are walking. I am not letting you touch my car." Justin: "But it's so awesome!" Mom gave me Lambo last month. She says it's for my good grades and since I'm almost 16, she got it. Me: "I don't care. Let's go." I drag him, literally DRAG him away from my car. He was walking backwards staring at my car with me pulling him along. Me: "Come on Justin! You can't even see the car anymore!" Justin: "I don't care." I groan. Me: "Your cousin is such a baby." Becca laughs and starts singing "Baby baby baby ohhh!" Justin: "Oh hell naw. No one sings it like The Biebs." I scoff. Me: "Ha. The Biebs?" Justin: "Chyeah!" Then he starts singing. "Baby, baby, baby, ohh.." Me: "Shut up! Unless you wanna run to school. You may be a stuck up jerk but these girls in town are still falling for your act." He smirks and continues to sing. I slap his arm. Justin: "Fine! I'll shut up." and shut up he did. There was no more talking for the rest of the walk to school.
