~Summer 3rd~
Angela's POV
I'm not sure why Luke put his arm around me while we were watching the stars, or why I didn't pull away, maybe it was because I had some pity for him for what that Selena girl did to him? I'm not sure, but being so close to him felt...good.
"Hey, what time is it?" He asked, looking down on me. I pulled out my phone and checked the time. "It's 8:30pm." I said, putting my phone away and looking up to him. "I guess I should get going. Want me and Bo to walk you and Bailey home?" He asked, smiling at me.
"I'd love to, but we're having a sleepover with Kathy." I politely declined. He looked upset, but shrugged it off. "No biggie. Let's go inside." He offered, moving his arm from around me and walking inside. I followed him inside - a part of me still wishing his arm was around me.
"Bo! We should get going. We got work tomorrow." Luke said, pulling him away from Bailey. "Aww, ok. Bye Bailey!" He said sadly, waving goodbye to her. "Bye guys!" Me, Renee, and Kathy called as they closed the door. Everybody else soon left, so all that remained was me, Bailey, Kathy, and Renee.
"So, who's ready for a sleepover?" Kathy said happily. We all giggled, then headed to her bedroom to talk about the night. "Chase, come here!" Kathy called as she opened the door to her bedroom. I heard him groan, then peer his head inside from the door.
"What is it?" He mumbled, probly tired from all the food he had to make. "Can you make us some ice cream?" Kathy begged, trying to use puppy-dog eyes. He rolled his eyes, then grumbled 'fine', resulting in happy squeals from the girls.
"What flavors?" He asked, yawning. Kathy asked for grape, Renee asked for strawberry, Bailey asked for vanilla, and I asked for chocolate. He nodded, then went to go make our ice creams. "Chase is so sweet." Kathy said once he left.
"Do you like him, Kathy?" Bailey asked, raising an eyebrow. Kathy blushed slightly, but denied her attraction. "He's just my best friend...I'm dating Owen, sorta..." Kathy said, sighing. "Why sorta?" Renee asked, scooting closer to her. Kathy cleared her throat, then started to explain what happened.
~Flashback~
Kathy's POV
I was helping my father, Hayden, wash cocktail as Owen was taking a short break from working in the mines all day. He sat there, drinking cocktail after cocktail, a care-free expression on his face. How irresponsible; getting drunk on a work break! I thought as I approached him.
"Hey, shouldn't you be getting back to work?" I said in a disappointed tone. Owen didn't even acknowledge me - he just kept drinking and tried to avoid her gaze. Did I offend him? I thought, trying to make eye contact with him.
"I mean, we're happy to have you around here," I added, crossing my arms, "but still..." Owen took one last drink, then stared at me with an aloof expression. I stood there, confused and kind of irritated with him.
"...be my girlfriend." He muttered. "What? That's kinda random!" I yelped in a surprised tone, blushing deeply. He raised an eyebrow at me. "What? Does the idea bother you?" He asked in a offended tone.
It was my turn to try avoid eye contact, fiddling with my fingers and looking at the floor. "It doesn't bother me..." I muttered, feeling my cheeks burn up. "Doesn't bother me either!" Hayden interrupted with a goofy grin on his face. How embarrassing!
"But, dad, I'm worried about what'll happen to this bar...I'll be spending more time with Owen and won't help you as much..." I admitted, turning his way to avoid Owen. He chuckled, then crossed his arms.
"I'm worried about what'll happen to YOU if you don't live a little!" He said in a serious yet humorous tone. He's right... I thought, sighing as I turned back to Owen. "So, can I get a answer?" Owen asked, smirking as he crossed his arms.
I looked at my hands again, then took a deep breath and faced him. "...yes!" I said happily, feeling my face blush again. Owen's smirked to a grin as he did one of those 'score!' movements with his hand as I giggled, wondering how this relationship would work out.
~End of Flashback~
Angela's POV
"Well that's romantic, getting asked out while he's drunk..." I said bluntly, resulting in a punch in the shoulder from Kathy and some giggles from the other girls. "Shut up, Angie! It's not that bad..." She said, realizing now how stupid she looked from that story.
"Don't worry, it really isn't that bad. He cares about you, hun." Renee said reassuringly. Kathy gave her a thankful smile, then stood up. "Alright, let's get our pjs on - I feel like a hoe in this outfit." Kathy said, making us giggle as we went to our bags.
"Uh, Kathy, I didn't bring any...I kinda came last minute anyway, so..." I said, awkwardly standing there as everyone else changed. "Here, just put this pants on and take that vest off." Kathy said, tossing me a pair of sweat pants. I just shrugged, then waited for Renee to get out of the bathroom so I could change.
After we all finished changing, Chase came in with a tray of our ice creams. "Thanks Chase!" We all said as he set our tray down. "Yea, yea." He said modestly, walking outside before he had to make anything else. We dug into our ice cream, talking about boys and other girly stuff.
"So Renee, how was your date with Toby?" Kathy said, turning the card on her. "It was...good..." Renee said softly, a pink hue forming on her cheeks. "What'd you guys do?" I asked as I stuffed my face with the delicious ice cream.
"Yea, tell us!" Bailey urged. Knowing she had no way around it, Renee took a deep breath then told us what happened on her date with Toby.
~Flashback~
Renee's POV
Me and Toby were fishing on the Docks for hours, talking about animals, cooking, and fish. He was easy to talk to, I just loved that about him. "Renee, I think you have a bit!" Toby said, pointing at my pole. I pulled as hard as I could, eventually reeling in a odd looking brown fish.
Toby clapped happily as I blushed slightly, putting the fish in the cooler along with the other 3 or so fish I've caught. "Wow, I sure hauled in quite a bit today!" I said happily, turning towards him.
"Odd...I haven't caught a thing!" Toby said, sounding a bit disappointed. Aw, poor guy! I thought to myself, wondering how I could cheer him up. "I'll share some with you!" I offered, making him smile. "I feel bad asking you to share..." He said, shyly scratching the back of his neck.
"It's ok! Do you like your fish boiled or fried?" I asked, putting my pole away. "Boiled, definitely." He replied, smiling as he recast his line. As I was packing away my things so I could go cook the fish, he did one of those 'oh yea!' gasps and turned towards me.
"By the way, would you like to go fishing out on the ocean sometime?" He asked, smiling sweetly. I looked at him, slightly confused and shocked. "You mean you could get a boat for us?" I asked excitingly.
"Absolutely!" He said cheerfully, turning back to the ocean. "Wow! I've wanted to go on a boat!" I said, clapping my hands in excitement. He laughed, smiling to himself. "I'll set it up for us - it'll be awesome!" He exclaimed, pulling in his line to recast it again.
"Yea, we can even have a picnic on the boat!" I added, imagining all the stuff we could do on the boat for an entire day. He smiled sheepishly at me, then waved goodbye as I walked home to cook the fish I caught.

Angela's POV
"Aww, how cute!" Kathy cooed, making Renee blush and smile bashfully to herself. I giggled about her reaction as I heard a vibration coming from my pants a few feet away. Once I got up and took my phone out of there, I saw that I got a text from Luke.

"Hey, hows the sleepover? :)"
I smiled to myself, and I was about to reply until Bailey snatched my phone out of my hands. "Aw, it's from Luke!" She teased, making the girls go 'aww' as I blushed slightly. "Give it back!" I demanded, chasing her around the room as they laughed.
We were running in circles for a few minutes when I realized this wasn't getting anywhere, so I grabbed a pillow and hit Bailey playfully in the back. She squealed as I hit her, giving me my phone back.
As she handed it to me, she grabbed a pillow and hit me across the face with it. "Oh, it's on now!" I declared, laughing as we got into a pillow fight. I accidentally hit Kathy in the face in the midst of it, causing her to join in along with Renee.
After about hour of the pillow fight, we decided to stop and lay down - relaxing. I grabbed my phone and started typing my reply to Luke when Bailey was about to take it again, but I moved it just in time. "Ha!" I said, sticking my tongue out at her. She giggled and rolled her eyes.

"Sweet dreams :)"
I slid my phone over to some random direction, then tuned into the conversation between my friends. "He's cute - I can't help it!" Bailey exclaimed, making Renee and Kathy giggle. They're probly talking about Bo. I thought, joining in on the conversation.
"Sorry to interrupt, but Kathy, you're good friends with Luke right?" I asked randomly. "Yea, I've known him since we were little. Why?" Kathy asked curiously. "She probly wants you to hook her up with him." Bailey added. I ignored her, then continued on with my question.
"What happened with him and Selena? I asked him earlier about it, but it seemed like something was missing." I asked. I was seriously bothered by this - why would she leave him if he was willing to forgive her mistakes?
Kathy seemed surprised, but let out a long sigh. "They were dating for about a year, but Selena randomly cheated on him with some tourist and was acting weird ever since it happened until she told him. Luke truly loved her, so he was willing to look past it, but then she just left..." Kathy explained, sounding a bit sad. That's basically what Luke told me!
"I'm not trying to sound rude, but that's it?" I asked surprised. Kathy nodded. "Me and Selena were pretty good friends since she was the dancer here, but she was kind of a flirt...she was loyal though, so I don't know why she did that." Kathy added.
"It's 'cause she's a bitch!" Bailey blurted out of nowhere. "Bailey!" Kathy said loudly. "She hated me just because I was such close friends with Luke, and he was so clingy about her that I barely got to see him because of it!" Bailey complained, rolling her eyes.
"You don't have to call her that, Bailey. She was just jealous and didn't want to lose him." Renee said. I really admired her - she was so sweet and always had something nice to say. Bailey shrugged her shoulders.
"I guess you're right..." Bailey said in a defeated tone. "But still, she shouldn't of done that to poor Luke." Bailey added, sounding a bit snotty. "I guess you have a point." Kathy said, shrugging.
"Every side has a story." I added, resulting in a surprised look from Bailey. "So true." Renee said, nodding in agreement. "Well, I'm getting tired - goodnight girls!" Bailey said, retreating into her sleeping bad and getting cozy. "Me too. Goodnight!" Renee added, yawning as she went into her sleeping bag.
"Sweet dreams everyone." Kathy said, laying on her bed and pulling the covers over her face. "You too." I said, trying to get comfortable in the sleeping bag. I thought about what I could do to help Luke until I drifted into a deep slumber.
