*Calum's POV*

After a good clean up we decided to head out for food. "C'mon let's go to McDonald's," Ashton pleaded for the tenth time and we werent even a block away from the park. "Sorry mate, but NO!!!" the rest of us screamed. Ash huffed and crossed his arms like an upset toddler. And he wonders why some people think he's the youngest? Really? "Hey look at that! Let's go in there!" Luke pointed at a really posh looking restaurant a few blocks down. He took off with the rest of us on his tail.

We neared the entrance and slowed down. "Woah," Michael remarked. We stood in front the glass doors, guarded by highly decorated officers. They opened the doors for us with a nod in out direction an we entered. Gold flooring, each table has a red table cloth with it's own chandelier and a fancy flower arrangement with it's guests wearing tuxes or fancy dresses. They made us look like homeless people and I was wearing my best jeans.

Someone cleared their throat behind us and we turned around. "Would you all like a seat or do you plan on blocking the door and catching flies?" a girl with blonde hair and a classic black dress asked. Her voice was sickly sweet but her face said, "I don't even wanna be here so you either move it or lose it," "Umm... Table for four please," I requested. "Make that seven," I turned around to see Alice and her friends behind us. She waved at me and I smiled.

The woman rolled her eyes and lead us to our table. "Someone had a lot of Haterade this morning," Alice's friend murmured. I laughed loudly but covered my mouth with my hand when everyone stared at us, well me. Alice and her friend tried to suppress their laughter but a few chuckles escaped, as they sat down. Their other friend sat on Alice's right and he took up the spoon and balanced it on his nose. Alice tapped his head and he shoved her lightly.

"Holly make him stop," Alice whined. Holly, the girl on Alice's left, stared their guy friend down. If looks could kill, he would be worse than dead. "Max have some manners," it came out like a command. With one last death glare she went back to her menu. Alice smiled and shook her head, looking at the menu placed before her. Ashton cleared his throat and they looked up simultaneously.

"So... who are you people?" Ashton shook his head and facepalmed. "I mean..um..We-" Alice nudged her friend and they giggled. "I'm Alice Matthews and these are my friends Holly Henry and Max Schmidt. And you are?" she flashed an innocent smile and my stomach fluttered. I cleared my throat. "I'm Calum and these idiots are Ashton, Michael and Luke,"

"Well it's nice to meet you guys," Holly smiled and the blonde girl came back with glasses of water for us all. "Are you all ready to order?"

*Alice's POV*

We all ordered and the Barbie bitch from hell walked off. "So why are you guys in town?" Max asked trying to make small talk, as always. "Well," Ashton began. "We're a band, Five Seconds of Summer, and we're on break from touring for this week. We're on our first world tour with One Direction. I play drums, Luke and Michael play guitar and Cal is bass," Holly nudged me and she went close to my ear and whispered, "Bassists do it deeper,"

"Whispering doesn't make friends," Max sang. "I never wanted to be your friend anyways," Holly sang back, causing us all to crack up. "Plus, if you heard what she just said," I just shook my head and chuckled. "What did she say?" Calum asked staring at me. I shook my head and smirked. "Trust me. You don't wanna know," He shrugged and played with his drink. "So do you guys live around here?" Luke asked. I nodded. "Yeah we do. Our parents are all best friends since they were young and then they decided to move right next door to each other. They wanted us to be friends so we could carry on our different family businesses," Holly explained.

Max continued, "They want to merge the businesses together though. Something about it being better for stocks and sales," Calum smirked. "Maybe you guys can show us around this week. If you have time of course," I giggled. "We would love to but this week is a very busy week for us. I have equestrian training and French lessons this week," "I have ballet rehearsals and History exams coming up," Holly added. "And I have to learn how to manage stocks and help my dad plan some big party he's throwing," Max finished. We sighed collectively and shrugged.
