"Hey how's life?" Freddie asked me as he walked to the basketball court.
"But of a roller coaster. You?" I replied.
"Fair." He smiled and saw his teammates. "Bye see you guys later." He walked away from the group.
"Guys, what is HE doing over here?" Ella whispered to us as she pointed to a boy walking. Oh God no, not Carter. He walked over sadly, sulking. His brown eyes were down to the ground.
"What are YOU doing here?" Matty asked protectively.

"Huddle." Jasmine ordered. We all huddled in a circle.
"He's never been rude to us."
"True. Ella, what do you think?"
"Uhh..." she looked at our pleading expressions (playful ones) and sighed. "Fine we'll try it out."
"Good news, you can join." Matty told Carter grimly. "But one mess up and you'll wi-"
"Shut it Matt." Jasmine ordered. Matty nodded.
Jennica looked inside her backpack and smiled. She pulled out an extra card from her invites and grinned, writing something in sharpee before handing it to Carter. He read it and smiled.
"Thanks." He smiled. Jenn nodded.
"So, wanna play truth or dare??" Ella grinned.
"YEAH!" We all raced to the other side of the city park.
