Carlos POV:

My buds and I were relaxing at the pool, when a group of 4 girls were coming our way. One was walking in front of the other girls. She had short, dark brown hair, dark brown eyes and she was wearing a light green sundress. The next girl I noticed was too, had dark brown hair, but it was longer. She also had dark brown eyes. She was wearing plain black jean shorts, and a Cookie Monster shirt. Next came a different girl. She had bright brown medium-long hair. She had blue eyes and she was wearing a green tee and lime green leggings. The last girl looked related to the first and they both looked the same, just not the face or fashion. What's better than a group of brunettes? They came up to us.

"We all hear that you work for Gustavo." they all said at the same time. It was awkward, but people do that sometimes, right?

"Uh. Yeah." James replied.

"We're working for him," the first girl said.

"Oh really?" Kendall sat up.

"Umm, duh. Your not another dumb blonde guy, right?" The last girl rolled her eyes. Kendall huffed.

"Yeah. We're the Midnight Catchers." The second girl looked at me and waved.

"Let us introduce ourselves," the third girl said, "I'm Madeline, but you can call me Maddie."

"I'm Keannah," the first girl said, "You can call me Ke."

'I'm Cheyenne," the second girl said,"Nickname is Chey."

"I'm Paulina Gem Emerald, I'm normally called Nina though." The last girl said. She was the only one who said her last name. When she said her last name, James frowned like it was unusual that his last name was Diamond and hers was Emerald. Psh.

"I'm James. I'm in a band." James said shaking the thought of the last name coincidence. That was like his catch phrase.

"Ok..." Nina trailed off. The look on her face was like, This guy is cute and stuff, but he's trying to hard.

"Sorry about him. He uh, has problems. Hi. I'm Carlos." I held out my hand to shake hands with them.

"Logan." Logan called, sitting back in his pool chair. He held up his hand dramatically.

"Hey. I'm Kendall." Kendall said smiling and waving at Maddie.

"Hey." Maddie blushed, then quickly covered her face. Ha, what we boys can do to new girls.


The next day, we all ran into each other at Rocque Records. Literally. I bumped into Cheyenne, Logan bumped into Keannah, James bumped into Nina, and Kendall bumped into Maddie. It was like really awkward. There was a murmur of: Ow!

Watch where your going!

What the heck?

Kendall looked into Maddie's eyes, then he made a move. He kissed her. HOW? He BARELY knows her.

"Quite a man you are there," Maddie said crinkling her eyebrows as she crawled away from Kendall. The move was quite embarrassing and sudden for her. Ah, Kendall. He's so desperate.

"Oh my gosh. Oh. My. Gosh. Did you just see that? Our little Maddie is growing up!" Ke yelled as Chey, even if she was right next to her. I heard Cheyenne mention that Maddie was taller than Keannah. Ke slapped her.

Kendall smiled and stood up. "N-Nothing to see here. Err, leave a message, BEEP!" He went to the supply closet.

I followed behind him. He was already in the closet, so, I talked to him through the door.

"Buddy? Are you alright?" I asked.

"No. I kissed her and I barely know who she is. I just like her. i'm in love with her." Kendall's voice was hoarse, that means he was crying.

"Well, if you like her so much, why don't you ask her out? Plus, you don't have to cry just because of that." I asked, predending I wasn't afraid of asking Cheyenne out.

"I-I'm afraid. Also, it's embarrassing. Did you see Keannah yell to Cheyenne?" He said, slowly opening the door.

"Here are the 3 C's. Confidence, courage, and coolness." I said, unsure about the last one.

"Are you sure?" He asked.

"Totally." I answered. I kinda chuckled in the inside. I wasn't sure at all.

We walked back,and I stayed back to watch.

"Maddie, I really like you. This is sudden, but how about we hit a movie tonight?" He asked.

"Kendall, I-" Kendall cut Maddie off.

"Oh. Ok. I get it you already have plans." Kendall said glumly.

"No!" Maddie said," I'd love to go."

"Oh love." We all heard Gustavo say. "Recording booth. NOW!" He yelled.

We looked around, wondering who Gustavo was talking to.

"All of you!" He yelled, pointing to the sound booth.


We didn't know what the heck he was making us do. He made us sing Don't Go Breaking My Heart. It was awkward. Like, Cheyenne and I had a solo. James and Nina had one. Logan and Keannah had one. And, Maddie and Kendall had one. It was seriously uncomfortable.


Next thing on my list was to ask for advice on how to ask a girl out.

"Can I talk to you guys about something?" I asked.

"Sure. We're all buds here." Logan said.

"Ok well. I really like Cheyenne, but what do I do?"

"Ask her out! Duh!" Kendall slapped me on the back of my head.

"Ok." I said walking out of the room. I looked back at Kendall. "Just because you asked Maddie out doesn't mean you have to be abusive!" They all laughed at my words.

"Wait. Can I tell you guys something?" Logan asked.

We all nodded.

"I'm in love with Keannah, do I do the same?" he asked. "It's sudden like Kendall's kiss-"

"Hey!" Kendall said.

"But, it's love at first sight, y'know?"

The rest of us nodded.

"I like Nina," James confessed, following me and Logan out the door. "This is so weird. We all like one of the girls. We just met them."

"So?" Logan and I said.

"Bah!" James said.


I walked up to Cheyenne.

"Chey," I said," Would you want to have some dinner tonight?"

Cheyenne gave a thumbs up, and she kissed me on the cheek. "See you there."


"Hey Keannah," Um, what was he doing? "Wanna come with me to the Dream Museum?"

Keannah looked at him and nodded. "I love museums."


Lastly, James came up to Nina. She was fiddling with her hair. He touched her shoulder and made her accidently slap him in the chest. "Ow..." he muttered. Wow. She sure knows some self-defense skills.

"Oh! I'm so sorry James." Nina nodded.

"Anywho!" James trailed off.

"Well, what the heck do you want from me?" Nina demanded.

"Meet me at Mr. Yums Steakhouse at 7," he whispered. I bet he didn't want me or Logan to hear him.

"Sure," Nina whispered.


We gathered up together sitting next to our future dates. Randomly we all yelled, "Yes!" Then after that we bursted out into laughter. Boom. A start of new love and new friendship.
