Rating: PG

Reviews: I've said this in the past two chapters, but I'll say it again: I love reviews, just please don't be too nasty in them!

AN: And thanks to the reviewers from the last chapter. I really appreciate your reviews and thanks for pointing out my German spelling mistakes!!

I think I'm going to start writing a short review for each chapter at the beginning, so here's the one for this chapter!

Chapter Summary: After the first day at school, all of the kids make plans to go to the mall. Will there be any New Year romances beginning??

Now, time for the story to start........

"RINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG" went the bell that signalled the end of the first day back.

Allie sighed in relief. As much as she loved work and reading, the first day back was never a thrilling one.

She gathered up her books and placed them in her bag, before standing and walking to the doorway to meet Kathryn where she was waiting.

"Arghh" Kathryn moaned and rested her head on Allies shoulder; "I hate school!!! It so energy draining!! I mean all this energy I used today could have been used up at the mall..."

She then stopped off mid sentence, lifted her head off Allis shoulder and looked her in the eye.

"Omg Allison, we sooooo have to all go to the mall now! And like... EVERYONE will be there!!"

Allie groaned. She detested malls. But then again... There was a book sale on and she really wanted a new book. So...

"Okay then" she said.

Kathryn looked at here with a look of utter surprise in her eyes.

"Are you possessed" she said in a sly voice

Allie laughed at the concerned look on her sister's face.

"No Katy honey, I'm not possessed! I just really want to have a look at the book sale!"

Kathryn groaned. "I should have known it was too good to be true!" she said.

"But oh well! At least you're coming!! Let's go and meet up with the others and tell them!" She said in a cheerful tone, before grabbing Allie by the arm and pulling her out to the front steps of Chilton.

In their usual after school meeting spot sat Lena, Gabrielle, Dylan, Damian, Andie, Dominique, Nova and Brandon. Nick, Nate and Charlie had Senior Basketball tryouts.

"Hey guys" greeted Dominique.

"Hi" replied Kathryn, "hey guys, do you all wanna go to the mall?

"YES!" all the girls agreed straight away.

When the boys looked like they were going to decline, Kathryn added in a rush "Allies coming as well cause she wants to look at books".

Dylan and Damian quickly said that they too would be come. Brandon, not wanting to be left by him self agreed as well.

Kathryn with a smug look on her face turned and walked towards the cars.

Allie followed confused of Damian and Dylan's actions.

Dominique, Lena and Nova gave each other knowing looks, before walking after The DuGrey's.

Then came Andie and Nova, completely oblivious to the whole two guys and a gal situation.

Last but not least came Damian Relano, and Dylan Forrester.

One swaggering with a smirk on his face.

The other walking in long strides, his shoulders a bit slouched.

But despite their differences, both boys had their gazes fixed on the same female figure ahead of them.

AN: Okay, so I know that that was an incredibly short chapter, but I just needed a filler between school and the mall. So the next chapter will be about the mall.

Hey guys, in your reviews, can you please tell me if you want...

Allie to be with Damian the player, or Dylan the sweet guy...

Lena and Nick to be happy together, or have 'relationship troubles'

And who you want

Dominique, Andie, Kathryn, Gabrielle, Nova, Brandon, Nate and Charlie to end up with.

So please please review and tell me what you want to happen!!!

I hope this chapter wasn't too disappointing!

C ya'll later for now!

Luv Mischa.

Ps. PLEASEEEEEE review!!!
