**Amanda's POV**

When we got to the mall, we passed our least favorite store for the twelfth time today. It's called, California clothing. Hannah and I used to always make fun of the commercials they had for the store.

"California Clothing come for the best! Complimentary prices calculated, craved eye candy-" Hannah and I both take deep breaths like the people on the commercials do, "caution, cute boys will be captured. And it will eliminate the cows." I know, dumbest commercial ever! But it is hilarious to sing. We got looks from people all around the us including Skylar and Bree.

"You know, you don't have to sing that song every time we pass this store." Bree says.

"Yeah, it's just so catchy, though." Hannah says sarcastically. It was anything but catchy... "Okay, I have really important news for you guys."

"What? Are you and Chase finally together?" Bree asks smiling hopefully.

"What? No!" Hannah says like that was obvious. Bree shrugs.

"You saw a really cute shirt?" Skylar suggests.

"I've seen more than just a really cute shirt, but that's not it either." Hannah says. "I know how-" all of us scooted in closer. "To sing Downtown in Spanish!"

"Seriously?" Bree asks.

"¡Centro! ¡Centro! ¡Centro!" Hannah starts. Basically that translated to downtown, downtown, downtown.

"Sing no more." I pleaded her.

"Oh, hey, I got a text from the boys. It says that they want to go out for dimmer. But they probably meant dinner." Bree explains looking at her phone. "Just Chase, Oliver, and Kaz. Mr. Davenport is on a business call."

"Where?" I ask her.

"Pizza Hut."

"Those boys should really try something other than pizza." Hannah put a hand on her hip. We all agreed, and then sadly had to leave the mall. We walked all of the way to the Pizza Hut-about a mile. The boys were waiting outside looking fine, no one was sick, so that's good.

"Hey, it's a goat!" Kaz exclaimed when a lady walked by with a goat on a leash. I don't know why, some people are just different. I'm sure Kaz would do it.

"Your not interested in goats too are you? I will not be trapped outside again because of a goat!" Bree says seriously. I don't know what she's talking about.

"Please. Goats are my fourth favorite animal." Kaz tells Bree.

"Okay, let's just go inside away from this conversation." Oliver said opening the door revealing the smell of pizza dough and all of that good stuff.

Once we were seated by the grumpy middle-aged lady at the counter, we slid into the booth. I got to sit at the very end across from Chase, next to Kaz Bree was on his other side. Hannah was in between Chase and Skylar. Oliver was a the end next to her. Skylar looked annoyed at Oliver who was very happy to sit there.

"What would you like to drink?" A nicer lady asks us holding one of those little paper pads and a pen. We all ordered our drinks then got bored. All of the sudden Chase looked at Hannah and asked, "did you just kick me?" Uh oh-she just started to footsie game, it just got real up in here!

I felt somebody kick my foot, so I kicked Kaz's foot. The whole thing became a footsie war. It was intense for a game of footsie! I could possibly have a bruise on my ankle. It was really embarrassing when the waitress came back and noticed us doing it. She stifled a giggle and walked up to us.

"What would you like to order?" She asks politely. We decided on a couple of pizzas. It turns out that Chase and Kaz were hungry, they ate like ten slices. Each.

"We should go roller skate!" Hannah exclaims.

"Yes! We didn't get to go last time, and I love skating!" I reply excitedly. I really want to go.

"Um, I don't know if my butt can take any more bruises." Oliver said hesitantly.

"We can all just teach you how." I suggest. "Have you ever been skating, Kaz?"

"Yes, a couple of times. I'm probably better at it than he is though." Kaz said gesturing to Oliver.

Hannah laughs, "You should see Chase-" he gives her a look like 'don't tell him that' but Hannah laughs some more, "he could barely stand up."

"Ha! See, Mr. Great can't roller skate." Oliver pointed out to Skylar. Weird.

Kaz laughed, "that rhymed!"

We pay for our food and leave the restaurant. The cold wind blew at us unexpectedly sending chills up my spine.

"Are you cold? Do you want my jacket? Girls usually fall for those clichés so..." Kaz grinned and handed his jacket to me. I kissed him on the cheek then accepted it.

During the skating, I rocked it. Doing awesome tricks the whole time without even focusing. Kaz wasn't that awful, Chase wasn't nearly as bad as anybody made it sound (he must've learned how) and Oliver was just as good a t it as Chase. Bree Skylar and Hannah are all pretty good, but they can't beat the master... I sat spent to take a break from skating when I started to get a little hot and uncomfortable. My head hurt a bit, but It was probably just a cold. Just then Hannah skated to the entrance to sit for a minute too.

"Ow! My head is killing me!" she exclaimed rubbing her temples. "I haven't been able to see straight when I was skating out there."

"My head hurts too. I wonder why." I say retying my skates.

"Hey, are you guys okay?" Bree asks us skating closer.

"Yeah, just a small headache." I reply.

"Small? I can barely see!" Hannah says closing her eyes all of the way and then shaking her head.

"I can see fine. Maybe you should try opening your eyes." I say jokingly. Hannah blinks a few times before her eyes are clearly able to see.

"Maybe it's all of the loud music." Bree suggested. Soon our whole group was over by us asking what was wrong.

"Nothing is wrong. Let's just go skate." I say standing up. I held Hannah's hand to help her stand up, and then all of the sudden, our hands sparked and everything was dark.
