***Natalie's POV***

"Lucas?!" I yell at him.

"I swear it should be here!" He replies.

We have searched my whole entire room, not to mention tearing apart my whole entire room... But there is no notecard. I have a mirror hanging from my bedroom door, and nowhere else in the house is there a mirror. I am staring to get irritated.

"Oh wait..." Lucas says calmly. "Oh shit..."

"What did you do?" I ask walking towards him.

"Don't hurt me when I tell you this...." He takes a pause and closes his fists and scrunches his eyes closed, almost getting ready for impact. "I may or may not have taken you to the wrong place." He screeches and takes a step back, holding his stance.

"Lucas." I say walking towards him and clenching my jaw. I take a sigh and decide not to let my anger control me. "Just tell me where the notecard is." I say as calmly as possible.

"Yeah about that... I don't remember." He says opening his eyes and taking a step back.

"Fine." I say throwing my hands up. "I will figure it out myself."

"Sorry." He says. I ignore him.

"Where can I see my own beauty, where can I see my own beauty..." I keep asking myself. It takes me a few minutes but I finally figure it out. "It's at the beauty salon!" I exclaim.

"Oh yeah... That place is lit with mirrors. So you can obviously see yourself- I mean beauty." Lucas says.

"Let's go." I tell him. I swing the door open and walk out. I hear Lucas grab the keys and follow behind me. "Close the door behind you!" I tell him. I then hear the door close and we jump into the car.

~~~~~~~~~~

When we arrive at Sammy's Beauty Salon, which I like never go to, I run up to the door.

"Slow down, bro." Lucas tells me.

"Hurry up, bro." I reply. I open the door and here a bell as I open it.

"Hi! How are you today?" An somewhat young/ old Chinese lady greeted me while walking towards me.

"I'm good- uh, by any chance did you get a blue notecard?" I asked her, getting straight to the point.

"Oh yes, I did. It right here." She walked over to the mirrors and pulled out a blue note card.

"Thank you." I say. I walk out of the store and lean against the building wall. Apparently Lucas was behind me the whole time, he is probably secretly a ninja. I open the notecard anxiously. And then $20 dollars fall out. Nice. I could buy a new pair of sneakers. And then I read what is written.

You are at the beauty parlor I presume,

But soon you will see the full moon

So before it gets to late

You need to find your date

Meet me where we first stared into each other's eyes

And also where it attracts flies.

And don't spend the money at all,

Because you will want to wait until the ball

That's the end? What the heck does that mean?

"Lucas. Help." I leans against the wall next to me and takes the note card. He mouthes the words as he reads them and stares at them intensely.

"Where did you guys stare into each other's eyes?" He asks weirdly.

"I don't know..." I hold out the 'w'. "Oh my god, is it on the sidewalk?" I start pacing back and forth. "Yeah! Because that's when we fell on top of each other! Let's go back to my house." I yell.

"Ugh. Again?" Lucas whines.

"Yes. Again." I tell him. I jump into the passenger seat.

~~~~~~

"Stop here." I tell him. He does at told and pulls to the side next to the streetlight, that is not currently lit. I see the blue note taped to the pole. Lucas pulls into my driveway and walks over to me. I rip it off the pole somewhat carefully and open it.

I see you have good memory,

To remember the place where we were our only company,

Are you having fun on this hunt?

I hope you do not hit blunt

The next thing that you seek

Is somewhere where I would not let you peek.

It is also where we served

And where there is girls with curves (sorry babe I still love you).

"It's at the beach, duh." Lucas blurts.

"Aye, this is my scavenger hunt." I say turning to me.

"Sorry." He says sarcastically. It is about 3:00 and the sun is still bright. I hope this hunt doesn't last too long. Lucas and I walk to the car and ride to the beach. It's not that long of a ride from my house. Once we arrive I get out in a hurry. "Wait." Lucas tells me. He points to my vans.

"Good idea." I slip them off along with my socks and put them into the car and close the door. And then I run along the shore looking for anything. I then remember that he said where we served. We didn't get icecream from here so what does he mean? Serve serve serve. "I got it!" Lucas is trailing behind me. With some of the blue notecards I had collected falling out of his pocket. I run as fast as I can to the volleyball net. There is a game going on and I see the people start to get irritated with me.

"Dude. Get outta here!" A guy with a man ponytail yells at me.

"Dude, go get a haircut!" I scream back. He scowls and grabs his ponytail and strokes it. But ignores me. Problems... And then I walk up to the net and see a fluorescent blue notecard stuffed into one of the holes. I grab it out while dodging a hurdling ball. I jump out of the way and Lucas catches up to me. And looks at the note over my shoulder....

I'm sorry everyone that took so long. I promise to try to update every Friday. Sometimes sooner... Hope you guys enjoy! Don't forget to vote! Love you all!❤️
