Disclaimer Thingamabob~ I don't own any of these characters in this story. Besides Angela, who is like, the coolest! Lol j/k! I also own Denise and Rosie.

Okay.this is my first ficcie! So no flames. It was hard for me to find time to write this what with school and all. Anyway, please, if you like it, say so, if you don't, give suggestions in a nice way!! Thanks if you review and stuff!! Oh, yeah, I will only continue if I get good reviews, so if the people don't like it, I don't finish it! Just a note to avoid any and all confuzzlement: Their school goes from 6th -9th grade, so therefore, they are in 8th and Angelica is in 9th.

*All are age 13*

"Oh yeah! High score! Match that, Lil!" Phil whooped from the seat of the arcade game "Alien Shooters".

"Not only will I match it, I'll beat it too!" Lil said, putting a quarter into the machine.

*Boom**Smash**Kabloom* went the game's sound effects. This went on for a little while longer until GAME OVER! SCORE: 180,000,000,000: NEW HIGH SCORE!

"In your face, Phil!" Lil joked.

"Luck.pure dumb luck!" Phil grumbled.

"Hey guys, what's up?" Tommy said walking over to Phil and Lil.

"Phil's mad because I made the new high score on Alien Shooters and he'll never beat it!" Lil said teasingly.

"I could beat it any old time I wanted to!" Phil rushed to his defense.

"Then why don't you?" Lil challenged.

"Because.I uh.umm.ran outta quarters. Yeah, that's it!" Phil got up from the Alien Shooters chair to go buy himself a smoothie.

"Hey! Phil, Lil, Tommy!" all three teens looked up to see Kimi running over to the arcade.

"Hey Kimi!" Phil said, walking up to the clerk with his money. (Which I should mention was all in quarters!)

"Spare some change for the poor?" Kimi asked jokingly.

"Sure, what do ya want?" Phil responded.

"Strawberry banana smoothie sound good!" Kimi answered.

"Alrighty then." Phil said. He ordered the smoothies and then they jetted from the arcade.

**A few minutes later**

"Hey! I just though of something!" Phil said, looking around him.

"Don't hurt your poor brain, Phil!" Kimi joked.

"Haha! Very funny! Anyway, where are Tommy and Lil?" Phil asked.

"I don't know." Kimi said, taking a look around her.

"May.maybe we should go find them" Phil said, his face turning pink as he just realized how awkward it was without the two there.

"Yeah.sounds like a plan to me." Kimi said, also realizing the oddness of the situation.

Just then Phil heard a bubbling laugh that could be no one else's except Angelica's.

"This way!" He hissed, pulling Kimi into the "Vans Outlet".

"Of course, Lil, there's still room on the squad!" she screeched in that horrible nails-on-chalkboard voice of hers.

"Thanks, Angelica! I thought for sure all the spots would be taken!" Lil said in return. "Well, gotta jet!" she added, wandering off into Claire's as Angelica hurried to catch up with Samantha and Suzie.

Kimi and Phil casually strolled across the mall hallway to Claire's.

"Hey, Lil. Have you seen Tommy around?" Phil asked coolly.

"Yeah, he said something about his bladder." Lil shook her head. "He said his bladder was gonna burst so I would try the bathroom."

"Lil, you are one weird kid!" Phil said as he walked out of Claire's and headed toward the food court/bathroom area of the mall.

When he was about to turn the corner to that wing of the mall, he felt a shoulder brush against his. He turned to see it was Kimi, who must have been there all along and Phil had not noticed her. (Which she thought was the story of her life.)

"Whoa, Kimi didn't even see you!" Phil said, embarrassedly surprised.

"Well, I didn't expect you to what with your attention span and all." Kimi smiled.

"Hey Phil!" both Phil and Kimi turned to see Denise, the most popular girl in the eighth grade, waving at Phil.

"Oh.uh hi Denise." Phil blushed furiously.

"Wait up! Me and Rosie will walk around the mall with you!" She called, grabbing Rosie's arm and running up the hall to catch up to Phil. She ran into Kimi, whom she didn't even notice.

"Watch it, Denise! That's my friend you're trampling!" Phil said, helping Kimi regain her balance.

"Oops! Sorry! Didn't even notice you there, Jenni!" Denise smiled mockingly.

"It's Kimi!" Kimi replied angrily.

"Right.so anyway, Phil, where are you headin'?" Denise continued the conversation.

"Well, Kimi and I were gonna try and find Tommy, who is apparently missing at the moment." Phil said.

"Great! We'll help you find Timmy!" Denise said, smiling brightly.

"It's Tommy," Said an upset Kimi.

"Uh huh. Okay, me and Phil will take the food court, Rosie and Kimi, go.somewhere else and look!" Denise said.

"Actually, Denise, I think it'd be better if Kimi and I went together, after all, we carpooled with her mom over here, so I have to be with her if she comes to pick us up." Phil said, pushing Denise off his shoulder.

"Alright then," said a disappointed Denise. "See you in school on Monday.

"Phil, you total LIAR!" Kimi said happily after Denise and Rosie were out of earshot.

"What?" Phil grinned "So we rode our bikes here! Big deal! As if I wanted to spend the afternoon with her anyway!"

"Any other boy would've killed to have been you!" Kimi said.

"Yeah, but, she's such a snob! And anyway, I'd much rather sped the day with you than that twit!" Phil smiled that perfect grin of his.

"Oh really. And why is that?" Kimi raised an eyebrow inquisitively.

"You are so much more fun and, you don't hang on my arm. Ecch! That's just creepy!" Phil shuddered playfully.

"It's like: whenever you turn, there it is! Like a shoulder growth or something!" Kimi laughed.

"Oh, look, there's Tommy!" Kimi pointed to the McDonald's line where Tommy was standing.

"Who's that he's talking with?" Phil asked.

"And holding hands with?" Kimi squinted to make sure she was seeing correctly.

Dum Dum DUUUUM! Who is that girl?? Will they ever find out?? Tune in for the next chapter of my story! Haha. Please review!
