Yesterday's dinner went amazing, Norah was happy to have met Westly's family. They were nice to her and her mother and Briella was so adorable. Westly has even invited her to the skate park for Saturday and she agreed even though she doesn't know how ride a skateboard.
He said that he'll teach her, and it'll be fun.
And she believes it, because trying new things can sometimes be fun!
"Okay everyone! Good job, let's take a break!" Veronica yells and everyone separated.
Norah grabs her water bottle and takes a sip, when she was done, she puts it back in her bag and looked up to see Zara sitting by herself with her headphones on her head.
An idea came to her mind and before she knew it, she was standing in front of the younger girl.
Zara looks up from her phone and takes headphones off, "Can I help you?" Zara was confused to why the new peppy girl was standing in front of her.
Norah bit her lip as she rocks back and forth on her feet, "Umm, I was wondering if you would want to go to the skate park with me and Westly on Saturday?"
Norah was hoping that she'll say yes.
"No thank you, I'm not interested in going to the skate park, sorry."
Norah frowned and slowly nodded before walking away.
Zara puts her headphones back on and looks back down at her phone.

Zara was in the food court sipping her smoothie as she swiped through her phone that set on the table. Norah walks in and Jeremy was with her when she saw the girl she cuts him off, "Sorry Jeremy, I'm gonna go talk to Zara."
The boy nods and smiles, "Okay, bye."
"Bye," She waved as he walks off.
'Zara's very quiet, I used to be like that at one point in my life. Everything changed when I met someone who helped me out of shell,' The curly haired girl giggled, 'Now, I love talking, I sometimes talk to myself... when no one's watching of course.'
"Father God, I pray for guidance as I go talk to Zara, In Jesus Name I pray, amen." Norah grinned and made her way to Zara and sat down beside her.
'Hi, Zara."
Zara glances beside her to see Norah sitting there with a wide smile.

'I don't understand this new girl or what's she's trying to do. Is she going to invite me to the skate park again? Maybe I need to make myself more clear, I don't want too. She has to understand and respect that.' Zara says, her expression stayed the same as she talked.
Zara puts her smoothie down and looked at her, "Hi." She says in an unsure tone.
"What are you doing?"
"Drinking my smoothie and scrolling through funny videos." Zara shrugs and crossed her arms.
"Cool!"
Zara let out a tired sigh uncrossing her arms, "Listen Norah, I don't know what you're trying to do but if it's about the that skate park you mentioned earlier. I'm going to say it again, I'm... not... interested... in... going to the skate park!"
Norah's eyes widened in shock, and she looked around at the people in the food court and noticed almost the whole team was there except for David.
They were all are looking at them with wide eyes.
