**Nicole's P.O.V**

I wet straight to my room and dropped my bags on the floor and sighed.

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and turned it on. No new messages.

With that, I decided to start unpacking; which didn't last very long due to the mass amount of boredom.

I walked out to the kitchen and casually opened the fridge, almost forgetting we just got here.

"Aah!"

I squealed at the empty fridge, and Brooke, Taylor, and Aubry all came rushing to my side.

"Well, I know where I'm going!"

I say, abruptly closing the fridge.

"I'll come with you!"

Brooke says excitedly.

"To the store?"

Taylor asks, looking through the cabinets.

"No, to the roller rink."

Aubry replies sarcastically, and Taylor makes a 'sorry' face.

I giggle at her comment and grab the keys, letting Brooke out the door first.

"See you guys later!"

I wave, shutting the door behind me.

"You remember where we parked right?"

*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*.*

"So are you going to call that guy?"

I ask at a stoplight.

"I don't thinks so."

Brooke says, looking out her window at people passing by.

"Why not? He was pretty cute! I mean, if you don't want him, I'll take him."

I reply sarcastically, earning a small giggle from Brooke.

"You never know, he's probably some weirdo."

Brooke says, looking over at me.

"A good looking weirdo."

I reply as we pull up to a small corner store. Brooke laughs again, and we get out. I grab my purse and lock the car.

A young man holds the door for us and I nod thanks to him as we walk in.

"Well, I'm going to head over here, meet me at the checkout!"

Brooke says, walking around the corner. I head to the candy isle. Man, was I craving gummy worms.

"Need anything Miss?"

A man says, greeting me at the middle of the isle.

"Oh, no thank you."

I reply, and go back to browsing.

"You know there will be a beauty contest next week, if you want to enter."

The man says with a wink, handing me a flyer. I take it cautiously and give him a weird look.

"Oh no, I don't do those, thanks though."

I grab my gummy worms and walk briskly to the checkout to meet Brooke finishing up. We add the gummy worms and head back to the car.

"Gummy worms? Really?"

She asks as we get in the car. I shrug and pull out.

"The guy at the checkout tried to give me his number."

Brooke says, with a laugh.

"Dang Brooke! You're pulling!"

She giggles, and picks up the pink flyer the guy have me.

"A beauty contest? I thought you hated those."

Brooke says, reading over the paper.

"I do. A clerk gave it to me."

I say flatly, as I pull up to the apartment.

"Oh."

She says with a grin. I roll my eyes as I get out and we head in.

I open the door to Taylor and Aubry dancing on the couch to blaring music.

They didn't stop once we came in, so I just played along and joined in.

We were all singing the last verse of Katy Perry's 'Roar', when Brooke stopped the music.

"What in the world are you guys doing? Someone's gonna call the cops!"

I shrugged and looked at Aubry.

"We were just getting the neighbors back for blaring their music!"

Aubry replies, jumping off the couch.

"You know you could've simply just told them to turn it down, you know."

Brooke says, with a disapproving look.

"Well, fine. Let's go now then."
