The gang and I take our places at our table in the middle of the cafeteria. Sitting down the boys begin to discuss different strategies they would use in the upcoming football game while Alice and Jessica were asking each other when the next party would be. I, on the other hand, was trying to figure how how the hell to do my Calculus homework before tonight.

After a bit of time Alice and Jessica notice my noninvolvement in their conversation.

"What's up with you?" Jess asks concerned.

"Looks like she's trying to finish all of her homework before the two Vipers come over tonight. Kat made the stupid mistake of inviting over for a movie." She says with a little laugh.

Rolling my eyes I speak up. "Hey, don't act like you aren't squealing inside about seeing Justin tonight. You'll be all over him and snuggling tonight." Jessica and I laugh while Alice blushes from my statement.

Shortly after a certain two teenage boys show up at our table. "Mind if we take two seats?" Asher asks.

"Yes, we do mind." I respond but he sits down anyways, Justin by his side. "Come on, Asher. What do you want?"

"Just wanted to see what time we'll be coming over tonight. You know, for the movie night that you invited us to?" He asks, a sly grin slowing making its way across his face. "What's that?" He points to the homework sheet.

Trying to cover up the sheet I fail, needing to explain myself. "Just some homework."

"It wouldn't be the Cal homework that we received today, would it? We could just do it tonight together." He suggests. I roll my eyes, which is my thing as it seems if you didn't already catch it.

"Don't you have a particular Barbie to be hanging out with?" I question trying to make it seem as though he was annoying me but if I was honestly he wasn't.

"Allison? Oh please, she's just the Barbie that thinks I'm her Ken. Give me a break, Katy." Katy? Really? Ignoring the statement I shift over to Justin and Alice who were chatting away as if they hadn't seen each other in over 10 years. Alice though was just watching the two intensely taking a few glances over at Kyle and then back to the two.

"What movie?" I ask Asher snapping him out of his gaze towards me.

"Excuse me?"

"I asked what movie, for tonight?" I repeated once more, clearer this time.

"Oh, whichever is fine. Action, Mystery, Horror," He then smirks, "Romance or Chick Flicks." Rolling my eyes for the thousandth time he shrugs. "You really have to stop rolling your eyes at me, Kathrine."

"Whatever and I guess we'll just decided tonight."

Soon the period ends and we rush off to our classes, enduring the torture of our teachers and their lessons. Blessedly, the day finishes off smoothly and quickly. Alice and I catch up after 10th period and meet up with Jessica at Alice's car.

"Hey, so is the plan to go straight to the gym or?"Jessica questions.

"No, we have to stop by the apartment so Kathrine can get her clothes. Then we'll head to the gym. Do you need to go back to your place to get anything?" Alice responds.
