The boys lead us to their black van. Libby, Briar, London, and I walk in a line while the boys mess around. Calum jumps on Luke's back making him stumble backwards. Ashton and Michael play a heated game of rock, paper, scissors. I laugh at their stupidness.

We climb into the van that sort of looks like a kidnapper vehicle. Libby, London, Briar, and Ashton sit in the back. While I awkwardly sit in the middle of Michael, Calum, and Luke.

"I think that we should get McDonalds." Ashton says. "Dude, we will be mobbed." Luke responds. Ashton starts to fake cry. "Let's take them to Craig's." Calum suggests. The boys agree.

"So, Aspen. Tell us about your wonderful self." Michael says to me. "Ha, well I have danced since I was two. Music is my life. I've never been to a concert, and I like koala bears." I state. "Koala bears are so cute and cuddly!" Ashton shouts. "Let's adopt one." Calum agrees. "What's your favorite band." Luke asks me, while the rest of the car talks about cuddly bears. "I have so many, but my favorites are probably One Direction, All Time Low, you guys, Paramore, and Fall Out Boy." "All of those guys are great, well except for us, we kinda suck." He responds. "Whatever you guys are awesome." I half roll my eyes, half laugh at him. "Well, I'm glad you think so." His smile is so perfect, and his eyes, ahh his eyes.

Fifteen minutes later we pull into Craig's. Instead of going in the front door, we go around to the back. When we walk in, a man with a curly mustache seats us at a table, in what looks like a banquet room.

"I feel so special." Libby says out loud. "Yeah, it's really weird being in a private room." London agrees. Everyone sits down. Luke pulls my chair out and hangs my purse on the end of my chair. I thank him and sit down. London sits on my left side, with Luke on my right. I glance at him. Our eyes meet and a light pink tint colors his cheeks. We both look down at our menus, pretending not to notice.

We order our food, and begin talking about our favorite superhero and why. The boys start arguing, but soon our food comes and they completely forget.

We all decide to share a giant brownie sundae when we are finished with our food. "Did you enjoy your food?" Luke asks me as we walk out of the restaraunt. "It was fantastic, thank you so much." I smile up at him. "Of course, I'm glad you liked it." He smiles back. "I really like your hair, by the way. Your really pretty. Uh, I mean its really pretty." He bites his lip and looks down at the ground. I smile at his awkwardness.
