We arrived at the mall which wasn't too busy, I picked out a knee length simple black dress for Jenna that she expressed much love for, I paired it with a pair of red Mary Janes. She picked me out a burgundy button up with a new pair of black jeans, she said that I should wear my black converse that I already had with me with it. After we changed clothes in the bathrooms we headed out of the mall. "That was fun." Jenna said as she buckled her seat belt.

"Glad you thought so." I gave her a small kiss. I pulled out of the parking lot and drove us downtown. We parked outside of a little park and made our way to the sidewalks of our small town in Ohio. "So, what do you want to do?" I asked her.

"I'm kind of hungry."

"Me too. Let's walk until you find somewhere you'd like to eat."

"Okay." She smiles and laid her head on my shoulder. We walked around for a few more minutes until Jenna spoke up, "What about there?" She pointed toward a restaurant called Happy Days. It was a retro, 1950s to be exact, themed restaurant.

"Looks great." We walked hand in hand into the restaurant.

"Is it just the two of you?" The nice looking lady dressed in a blue waitress outfit asked.

"Yes ma'am." I smiled.

"Wonderful." She smiled back and showed us where we would be sitting. "I'll be right back to get your orders."

"Thanks." Jenna smiled at her. After awhile a group of teenagers walked in. I didn't recognize any of them, they must be traveling. I heard them speaking a different language, one I hadn't heard before. I was trying to figure out what language the group was speaking when suddenly Jenna broke me from my thoughts. "Do you know what you want?"

"I think I'm just going to get a burger with no tomatoes."

"Oh, that sounds good."

"Would you like for me to order for you?" I know it's cheesey but some girls don't appreciate it, others, like Jenna, however; appreciated it.

"Sure." She smiled.

When the waitress walked back over, she asked for our order. "We will have two burgers without tomato, both with fries, and one chocolate shake to share." I said the last part as if it were a question, Jenna nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll get it right out to you." The lady in blue walked away. It was just us and the group of teens in the restaurant.

One of teens spoke in her language, holding a coke up to cheer to us, "Het mooie paar is prachtig"

"Dutch." Jenna said to me, " We don't speak Dutch." She told the group, one of them responded in English.

"She said, the beautiful couple is beautiful! She speaks the truth." He smiled as us.

"Tell her we said thank you." Jenna and I smiled.
(Sorry, I just read The Fault In Our Stars... like the whole thing in one night... I had to.)
Our food arrived soon after the conversation had ended. Jenna and I talked while we ate. We talked about what we will do after graduation, what we will do if one of us moves away for college, if Josh and I make a career it of our band, and so on. We finished and continued to talk while we waited for our check.

"Your dinner has been paid for." She smiled.

"By who?" I asked surprised.

"I cant say, but I'll give you a hint." She nodded towards the group of teens who were smiling at us. We smiled back.

"Well thank you." We smiled at her. After a few more minutes of talking we decided to leave.

"Aan het mooie stel!" The same girl from earlier spoke up, raising her glass.
