When Cody woke up the next morning her dad had already left for work. She got out of bed, walked down to the kitchen and made herself some breakfast. As she was pouring her honeycombs into a bowl she heard a knock at the door. She decided to ignore it, seeing as it was 8 o'clock on the morning, but then who ever was there started to ring the door bell, over, and over again. She finally couldn't stand it anymore and went to the door in her P.J's, hoping that it wasn't Squib. When she opened the door she came face to face with Tanis and Adena.
"We came to talk to you, about last night," Adena said, walking into her house, followed by Tanis.
"Why, I just said I would go out with him. Not that big of a deal," Cody said as she closed the door behind them.
"Yeah but do you know who you said it to?" Tanis said, sitting at the dining room table.
"Yes, Squib…I don't know his last name. So! It's ONE date! ONE DATE." Cody said walking back over to her bowl of cereal and sitting down to eat it.
"But you don't know Squib. He's a big jerk, he's always goofing around and messes around a lot, and he isn't like you at ALL!" Tanis said looking at Cody as she ate her cereal.
"Plus, It's SQUIB," Adena said laughing a bit.
"So?" She said raising one eyebrow.
"All we're saying is he's different, not like the guys back home at all." said Tanis
"Well maybe I wanted something different from home, did you ever think of that?" Cody looked at Adena and Tanis. "Plus, I'm not planning on going alone, Tanis," she said, looking at her friend
"Yeah, wait -- you want me to come on a date with you and Squib?" Tanis said at a laugh, but then stopped.
"No, I want you to come with Cameron. You could come too, Adena!" said Cody looking at Adena, who was looking at her as if she didn't want to go, "..or not."
"I'll come with Cam, okay? But will you think about what we said?" Tanis asked.
"Yes, yes, now that we have that over, what do you guys wanna do today?" Cody asked, getting up and putting her bowl in the sink and turning around to face them.
"Well me and Tanis have practice at 1, but other then that do you wanna go to the open and watch a movie?" Adena asked the two other girls.
"Why go to the open when we can just stay here?" Cody said. Both Tanis and Adena looked at each other and then back at Cody very confused. "Look behind you," Cody pointed to the T.V behind them and when they turned back around they smiled and flopped on the couch.

Cameron and Squib were in the cafeteria for breakfast when Cameron started to talk about the night before.
"Why did you want to go out with her so badly? There are other girls, you know," Cameron asked Squib as he sat down at the table.
"I'm not sure, something just clicked," Squib said, almost asking himself the same question.
"Well that 'Click' almost cost you your life! You were dangling in the air 100 feet above the ground. Dude, what were you thinking?" Cameron laughed, as he remembered what happened the night before. He wasn't laughing at the fact that Squib could of died, more of his stupidity.
"When you want something bad enough, you've gotta risk everything," Squib said with a straight face. Meanwhile, Cameron was laughing his head off.
"Okay that was probably the cheesiest thing I have…EVER heard in my life…" he started laughing again. Squib punched him the arm then started to eat his breakfast.

As Cody wondered down the hall she started to think about when Tanis and Adena had told her. 'What if they're right, what if he isn't right for me? I mean, I tend to like guys that I have stuff in common with, he is a tennis jock, I hate tennis, then again I am at a tennis school, and ALL the guys here play-' Just then a door opened right in front of her and she walked right into it. She was knocked to the floor and couldn't think of anything. Then the person who she was just dying to see closed the door and saw her on the ground. Squib kneeled down beside her to make sure she was okay.
"Oh my god, are you okay…did you just walk into the door?" Squib asked at a bit of a laugh.
"Maybe, I'm not sure, did I, why am I on the ground?" Cody asked very stupidly as Squib helped her up.
"I hope this helps, yes you did walk into the door, you are on the ground because you walked into the door and you have a bruise on your forehead." Squib pointed to the purple thing on her head. Cody was starting to feel not so dizzy and started to realize how stupid she looked.
"Oh god, I'm really stupid aren't I?" She said putting her hand over the bruise and leaned against the wall.
"Do you want me to take you to the Nurse's office?" Squib asked as he took her hand off the bruise to look at it.
"No, no I'm fine, really. So…" She started to walk along the hallway with him.
"So what about that date?" Squib asked looking at her. After the talk with Tanis and Adena, Cody wasn't sure what she should say…so she played it cool.
"Your kidding right?" She said and then kicked herself in the head on the inside for how lame that sounded.
"Oh come on, you made me hang on a ferris wheel for no reason, made me ask you out in front of everyone-,"
"Hey," Cody said, cutting him off, "I didn't make you do any of those things, YOU decided to hang on the ferris wheel, YOU decided to ask me out in front of everyone, and YOU made me yell that I wanted to go out with you when I really didn't," Cody said putting up her finger (you know that thing she does when she puts up one finger.)
"Well when you put it like that, it looks like my fault! Come on, one date, we could go to the movies." Squib said suggestively at Cody.
"Fine, ONE date, but Tanis and Cameron are coming too, and if that's not okay with you then too bad." Cody said walking off towards the door where she could see Tanis and Adena walking back from practice.
"Wait, when are we going to do this?" He yelled as she walked away.
"Tonight, be ready in the open at 7." She yelled back, then walked off with Adena and Tanis.
