"Here."

A ticket is put in front of me and I look up at Aaron confused. It was Friday and I hadn't talked to Aaron since Wednesday, the day I gave him a ride. Yesterday I simply glared at him when I saw what type of ridiculous thing he had planned for the day.

"What's this?" I ask.

"A ticket to the fall festival tonight."

"Fall festival?"

"Yeah, the annual one?"

"You go to that?" I question.

"The bigger question is, you don't?"

"I always end up working the day it takes place or I forget," I admit.

"Well do you work today?"

"No but-"

"No but's, we're going," he says which causes me to give him a look.

"And if I don't?"

Aaron merely smiles. "There's no if."

I raise my eyebrow at him but he shrugs it off and walks away. Nat takes a seat next to me once she's got her food and gives me a weird look.

"What was that about?" she asks.

"I don't know," I respond truthfully. Nat notices the ticket and grabs it.

"Is this what he gave you?"

"Yeah, but I'm not going."

"Why not? I've gone and it's actually pretty fun! And it looks like he got you the exclusive pass ticket so you can get on all the rides."

"You're going today?" I ask.

She shakes her head with a small frown on her face. "My family from out of town are coming and my mom has already planned what we're gonna do until they leave."

"Lucky," I mutter.

She lets out a laugh. "Not really, I'd rather go to the festival. Maybe ask Maru."

"Ask me what?" Maru questions as she sits down in front of us.

"Are you going to the fall festival?" I ask her.

"I can't my dad grounded me."

"What? Why?"

"Because I've been carelessly using up all my money on clothes and makeup according to him so he's making me stay home as soon as I get out of school so that he knows I won't waste any more money. Why are you going?"

"Nope," I say.

"Yes she is. Aaron asked her to come with him," Nat objects.

"Wow," replies Maru, "I wonder what he has planned today. I guess he won't be doing whatever it is here at school but rather at the festival."
