The next day being Saturday, the entire bunch decided that bowling would be fun, then after that, the park across the street would be a perfect place to have a picnic.

All three of the boys had no idea how to bowl, so it was a challenge for the girls to teach. "You hold the ball like this, with your thumb in one hole, and your middle and ring finger in the other two holes. You swing it back, and let it go." Angela said. She released it and it rolled right into the gutter. "Maybe Angela isn't the best person to be showing you how to bowl." Vanessa said. They all laughed.

The game commenced, with three teams, Angela and Draco, Kelsey and Harry, and Vanessa and Ron. The game lasted a long time; partly because the boys kept dropping the bowling balls and they would roll down the wrong ally, or would crash into some unsuspecting bowling player.

In the end, Harry and Kelsey won with a score of 121, but only winning by one point, with Vanessa and Ron trailing behind them. Last were Angela and Draco, with a score of 87. They all had a great time, and they were also all hungry.

Kelsey's mother helped pack a picnic lunch, with PB&J sandwiches and potato chips. Also included were fruits and many pouches of Capri Suns. For as long as they knew Kelsey, both Vanessa and Angela felt so comfortable with Kelsey's family, as if it was their own.

Casey looked through the window, watching all the people on her street do whatever they were doing. She had a secret, and she wasn't sure who to talk to.

During the picnic, Kelsey couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong with Harry. She had tried to ask him about it, but he would always say it was nothing and pretend to be happy. Kelsey didn't know what to do. She would ask for advice from Angela and Vanessa once this date was over with.

"Hey Angela, come over here." Draco said to Angela while patting the bench. She came over to Draco and sat down. He smiled at her and she at him. It was a beautiful day, and Angela wanted, more that anything, for Draco to ask her to be his girlfriend. She was almost certain that he would, it would just have to be the right time.

"So what are we doing for today," she asked him with a smile on her face. "I was thinking about a walk around the lake, sound good so far?" he asked.

She nodded her head and him and they both got up and started walking away from the group. "So what else is there planned?" she asked him flirtatiously. He put his finger over his lips and then he started to run, pulling Angela right behind him.

He ran to a big oak tree and once they were behind it, he pulled her in, for a passionate kiss. Angela thought to herself, this is it, this would be the perfect time to ask me. But it never came.

Once coming out of the kiss, Draco smiled and started to say something. He stopped and looked out onto the lake. Nothing more was said, and Draco and Angela started to walk around the lake, Angela being very disappointed.

Vanessa was having a blast with Ron; they were playing a guessing game. One person thought of anything in the world and the other had to guess what it was. If you got it right, you would kiss the other person as a reward, and you would become the person who thought of the 'thing.' If you guessed wrong, as a punishment, you would have to kiss the other person twice.

Vanessa, being the one to guess, had guessed totally wrong the first two times. She "reluctantly" kissed Ron, but she had to admit, she loved this game.

Finally, after 6 guesses wrong she told Ron, "I give up, what were you thinking of?" "I was thinking of you." He leaned in, and they kissed.
