Duff, Izzy, Chelsea, and I all pile into Duff's car. We all decided to go down to the Santa Monica Pier because we had nothing better to do and everyone else had plans of some kind. Well Duff and I had other intentions, we were going to push Izzy and Chelsea together because they like each other. Chelsea and I get pushed into the back seats because we're smaller. Chelsea pulls out our Polaroid camera, which she takes everywhere. We both love pictures, Queenie loves to carry it around and snap pictures of Duff and I when we're not paying attention, we take it to their shows and take pictures of them having the time of their lives on the stage. She points it at me.
"Smile Taylor Jane." She says and I just flip her off. Duff laughs.
"That's my girl." He says as he drives.
About half an hour of screaming lyrics at each other of various songs later, we pull up to the pier. Duff grabs my hand as I get out, he slams the door and kisses my forehead. We walk in behind Izzy and Chelsea who stand close to each other so their shoulder brush as they walk. Duff smirks and points at them.
"Might not be as hard as we thought." He whispers and I look at him.
"You think that they've already hooked up?" I wonder in the same tone.
"I don't know what I think but I know you don't stand that close to a girl unless you want her." Duff admits and I giggle.
"Is that why you always leaned over the bar all the time?" I wonder and he laughs.
"That's exactly why, clearly it worked." He says pushing my sunglasses up, I squint at the brightness. "Your eyes are beautiful." He mutters.
"Thank you." I say and he pulls me closer to him wrapping his arm around my shoulders.
"Let's go have fun." Duff says like a little kid and I laugh.
"Lead the way." I say.
For the next couple of hours we walk around the pier playing games and getting in trouble for making out in the arcade. Chelsea and I taking the camera from each other snapping picture of the four of us. Eventually we all just start wandering around mindlessly. The sun starts to set and the pier starts to light up, Duff and I walk down the pier hand in hand looking around at the lights. We sit on a bench, still in complete awe of the bright lights.
"It's so pretty." I say and he smiles.
"Now you see yourself through my eyes." Duff says playing with my hair and I playfully hit his shoulder.
"I meant the lights." I say and he laughs.
"Hey look at that." He point to Izzy and Chelsea who are walking into a photo booth.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" I wonder and he smirks.
"Let's go scared them." Duff say as we walk over to them.
We stand silently out side the booth and the pictures shoot out at us. Duff picks them up and studies them, he draws my attention to them. The frames are filled with two of my best friends smiling and laughing. I look further down the strip to see them pretty intensely making out. I smile at Duff and he laughs.
"It worked." He says in my ear. "Why didn't I think about making out in a photo booth?" I laugh.
"Still want to?" I point to another booth down another twenty feet. Duff nods.
He balances the pictures back in the shoot and pulls me towards the booth. Duff tells me we're going to take pictures first, I know that's not going to last long. We smile and laugh for the first picture, for the second Duff kissed my cheek, for the third it turned into us playfully kissing, by the fourth I was straddling him and making out. I'm not sure how long we were in there when someone banged on the side telling us to get out. We spill out and Duff slides the strip of photos into my pocket, leaving his hand on my ass.
