Emma sat in a booth, Kitty across from her. The lights were a bit dimmed, in the ghostly Outback, a popular food chain in Dubai.

Kitty took a bite of her hamburger, and said, "Ang Hiish Jaigh Laugn!"

Emma raised an eyebrow, taking a sip out of her water. "What?"

Kitty swallowed her burger, and said, "I know he thinks of us as friends, so why in the world am I even trying?" Kitty paid the bill, and she pulled Emma out of her booth, and out of the restaurant to see that it was 5PM.

Rush Hour.

The mall was flooded with people of all ages, teens, mothers with their whining children, and a few elders. Kitty and Emma made the mistake of stepping into the tide, and getting pulled apart by the tide.

"EMMAAAA!"

"KITTYYY!"

Owen and Noah stood outside the mall, them too trying not to get torn apart by the crowd.

"So when will it end?" Noah asked Owen, frowning.

Owen looked around, trying to see the end of the line to get inside, and the line to get out. "I don't see an end!"

Noah cursed, and tried texting Emma.

N: Where are you?!

E: I have no idea! I lost Kitty in the crowd!

N: Crap! Hold on, me and Owen are coming to find you!

E: NO!

Sent

Emma sighed, and kept running with the crowd. She finally saw a bathroom coming up. She slipped to the edge, and jumped out.

Noah saw a men's bathroom coming up, and pumped his fist in the air in victory. He needed a break, and this was his perfect chance. He leaped, and pushed the door open, and walked inside.

"I see things that nobody else sees!"

Noah turned around, frowning. Was that sobbing? He faced the wall in front of him.

"One day they'll see what goes down in the kitchen." Emma sang, all alone. She found it peculiar how of all the people in the mall, there was nobody in the bathroom. She had checked all the stalls, then eventually slid against a wall, crying.

Noah cupped his hands around the wall, and put his ear next to them, and listened. She had changed songs.

"Like a small box, in an ocean, sending deep waves, into motion!" Emma sang. She knew what love could do to a person. She had experienced it herself. Kitty was too young, too innocent, to fall in it. So Emma decided...

"CAN YOU HEAR MY VOICE THIS TIME?!" Emma yelled. She almost pushed the door open, then herd,

"D-o-l-l-h-o-u-s-e, I see things that nobody else sees!" Noah sang, trying to escape his monotone, and failing.

"N-Noah?" Emma called, her eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"Yeah?"

"I know you're not stuck in the wall, so how am I hearing your voice?"

"I think you're on the other side of this wall!" Noah replied, now happily grinning.

"Cool!" Emma said. She cracked open the bathroom door, to see Noah's head sticking out of the boy's bathroom door, to the side of her's.

"Yay!" They both said, then blushed, and laughed.

"Okay, that's two of the group, now, we gotta find the other two!" Emma said, and Noah nodded.

Emma looked at the halls, and noticed that they were emptying out. People had finally found a store, and there were only a few that were in the halls, most of them young teens chatting. The two stepped out, and navigated through the halls, and out of the mall.

"So...?" Noah started.

Emma laughed. "I didn't know you could sing!" she said, leaning against the bricks.

Noah blushed. "Meh, I used to when I was a child, and I was broke-BORED!" He rushed.

Emma raised an eyebrow. Broke? Broken? Money, or Mentally, or Physically?! She stored that thought. "Well, you're a good singer!" Emma said, and laughed.

Noah nervously laughed. "T-Thanks, you sing good too!" he said. He gasped. "Wait, what about Kitty and Owen?" he thought aloud.

Emma looked up from her phone, a serious expression on her face. She showed him her phone.

E: Kitty, where are you now?! I found Noah, and we're waiting outside!

K:... I found Owen... Yeah, um, we'll be out in a few!

Noah raised an eyebrow. "Surely she didn't tell him her feelings!" He said.

Emma frowned. " I hope not, that would end horribly!"

Noah nodded. "Owen will be friends with anyone, I wonder if that applies to dating too?"

Emma raised an eyebrow. "True, True. Do you think we should go find them?" She asked.

Noah replied, "No, I think they can find us!"

The two stayed quiet for a moment, before Noah asked, "So... do you like reading?"

(Yas, another chapie! Well, that's it for now, so bye!)
