CHAPTER 2:

At Max's Video store Sabrina ask her mother when she was to be home. Her mother, glad to see her making friends so fast, told her as long as she was home by midnight she'd be fine. David was getting yet another lecture from Max, the owner and his father, about not coming around the store, but when he found out the reason, he relaxed a bit. After saying good-bye to her mother, Sabrina and the boys headed out to find the rest of the crew.

"So, what do you think of our little town here," asked David casually as they walked towards the concert area where Marco and Paul were listening to a Deaf-leopard wana-be band. "It's different from New York, a lot different, but it's aright I guess," Sabrina replied. David elbowed Dwayne who had been quite as usual. "Hey man, what's the big idea?" he asked annoyed at David's attempt to get him to talk. "What? It was an accident," David replied calmly trying to play it off. "Sure," Dwayne replied.

Finally they reached the concert area, not long after they found Marco and Paul. After introductions were made the five headed back toward the crowd. "So, what's there to do around here," asked Sabrina. "Well, there's not a lot happening we usually hang out at the cave," replied David. "The Cave," asked Sabrina. "yea, it's where we live," replied Marco. "Wana check it out," asked Paul. "Sure always up for an adventure," Sabrina replied. The boy's got on their bikes; Sabrina rode with Dwayne, and headed to the cave.

Once at the cave, Sabrina looked around. David told her the history of the hotel and the earthquake that plunged it to the cave. "Wow, so you all live here," Sabrina asked. "Yep, it's all ours," Paul said spinning the wheels of his skateboard. "Dwayne, can I talk to you for a sec," David asked his friend. "Yea, what do you want now?" Dwayne asked. "Well," David said, "I was just thinking maybe you could give Sabrina a ride home tonight." "Yea, I can do that," replied Dwayne clueless to his friends attempts of matchmaking.

"Whoa," Sabrina said looking at her wristwatch, "Looks like it's time for me to jet. Thanks for letting me hangout with you guys," "Our pleasure," said David. "I'll give you a ride home," Dwayne said. "It's fine, I can walk." replied Sabrina. " No, that's not a good idea, a lot of creeps come out this time of night, so I'd feel better giving you a ride," replied Dwayne. Sabrina and him headed out to his bike and rode back to the boardwalk.

"Dude," Marco said addressing David, "why didn't you give her a ride?" David replied with a grin, "Just doing a little experiment with our friend and the girl."
"What, are you being cupid or something?" asked Paul. "Something like that," David replied.

Sabrina gave Dwayne directions to the beach house where she lived. After he stopped the bike Sabrina got off. "Thanks for the ride Dwayne," She said. "No prob." He replied. "I was wondering if you'd like to hangout with us again tomorrow night," Dwayne asked. "Sure, I'll meet you guys at the boardwalk." Sabrina turned to go in and Dwayne headed back to the cave.

For some reason, Dwayne couldn't figure out why he couldn't get Sabrina off his mind. He had never felt this way before. He decided it would be best not to tell the guys about his feelings for Sabrina, god knows they'd just tease and torment him about it. Besides, why would a girl like Sabrina be interested in him. He got back to the cave and David and the rest of the guys where lounging around the cave. Marco and paul were listening to music and skateboarding while David was reading one of his books on magic.

"So, how did it go," asked David casually. "What do you mean," replied Dwayne. "I took her home and I came back here, that's it." "So, you going to see her again," asked Paul. "Well," Dwayne replied, "I did invite her to hangout with us tomorrow night." "And…" replied David, "And she said she'd meet us at the boardwalk. Now I'm tired, so night guys." And he headed to his sleeping quarters. "What's eating him," asked Paul. "He's obviously in love, thus my plan is working," replied David. "What plan," asked Marco. "The plan to get Dwayne and Sabrina together," David replied and went back to reading his book.
