I was walking into town when I saw some boys in my year. This is not a drill duck and cover soldier. I quickly walk past them and rush into the book store. 

It's an old timey shop with the smell of flowers and wood. I love it here. It the best part of this town. And no one I know comes here. I'm going here before going on a girls date with Cece and Liz. 

When I walk in I see Mrs Robin. A kind old lady who runs the shop.

"Hi Mrs Robin" I wave over to her knowing her hearing is poor. "Hello dear how are you" her voice soft with curiosity. Mrs Robins for an 80 year old is very interested in school gossip. Sometimes I think she secretly is a teenager.

"Well I have a match this Sunday and a party this friday" I inform her. Most adults want to know about how schools going but not her she was gossip. 

"A day a part, well that's just perfect you can cure your hangover on Saturday" I start laughing at the thought of me drinking. I don't like putting that stuff in me.

I have no problem with others drinking i think drunk people are the best. Especially my brothers but I don't like how it affects my memory. This is senior year I have to lock in. 

"Well I found some books you might like" she leads me over to the murder mystery section. 

I love murder mystery books ever since I was a kid. I might have scared my parents a small bit with all the murder talk but I always found the thrill of solving a case so interesting. 

I pick up the case of the missing corpse it seems interesting I don't recognise the author. 

"Who is this Mrs Robin" I enquire curious fir never seeing this author. "Oh that's Alley Creat dear" 

That is one unusual name. She must have seen my face "it's an anagram of her name I don't know her real name but those are the letters" 

"How much?" Brining up the book to the counter. "Dearest I'm not letting you pay you have bought half of my stock" I chuckle at her and her friendly nature. "Of course I'm paying" I insist knowing she doesn't get alot of customers. 

It's a shame really that not alot of people will read but I guess when there is movies there isn't much room for books. 

I walk out of the shop heading to the cafe we agreed to meet up. 

I walk in and I can see why Liz chose this place it is filled with pastries and people our age I sit down in the corner and wait. Seeing as I'm 10 minutes early I open my book and order a tea. 

The book has so many plot twists I am holding in a gasp. I see Liz and Cece pull in. They walk over and sit down.

"Okay so what are we wearing to the party" an exasperated Liz asks me whilst holding up her hand to order. 

"What bush did you run through" I ask knowing it could range from I had to run around the house to find this outfit to I escaped jail.

"You will never guess who I ran int-" the waiter came up to us at possibly the worst time but im starving. Liz continues "oh hi ill have a chocolate croissant and hot chocolate" she turns to us. "May I have a carrot cake and hot chocolate" I ask smiling up at her she seems our age and she just smiles and turns to Cece.

"I'll take two cookies and a hot chocolate" Cece says. 

"Finish your story Lizzie" 

"Oh ya so saw this guy in in my parking spot so I said 'hey what are you doing here' and he was all like oh I'm sorry I didn't know I could park here yadda yadda and turns out he is moving to our school isn't that cool" she explained in a single breath. 

"So I'm not getting the point" I am so utterly confused. Maybe I have taken too many pucks too the head.

"This guy Rafe he is apparently going for Noah spot as captain ahhh gossip don't you love it" Liz asks. 

"No because this means two shit headed ego hockey players" Cece said munching on her cookies. 

"Oooh can I have some" Liz asked reaching for mine and Cece's plate. I snatched my cake back whilst Cece just rolled her eyes shoving half a cookie into her plam. 

"Your the best Cece" she says beaming at her. "I will steal your cake Ari be warned" I have to laugh at her childishness because it's honestly so entertaining and energetic it makes you happier by listening to her. 

"OK I'm finished shoving the rest of my cake to her." She happily takes the last bots of my cake. "Thahnck hew" I almost couldn't here her with the food in her mouth. 

"Let's go and pay" Liz suggests. We go and pay and walk out. Just as we're walking out Noah and this girl walked in. 

"Hi Nose" giggles Liz because of her sugar high. 

"Who is she?" Asks the girl beside him in a forced voice. She is clearly very annoyed with someone calling her boyfriend Nose. Are they even dating? I don't know. Probably not. From what Liz has told me he has only ever had one girlfriend and that was the cheater. 

Noah snapping me out of my thoughts say "my cousin who has had way too much sugar". He rolls his eyes and turns and kisses that girl. Actually kissing is the appropriate word. It is kind of eugh taking the face of her. 

I walk out disturbed by the sight of them kissing. "That was disgusting" Cece says easing the tension. "No one especially not his cousin over here" Liz practically yells. She has gone three shades paler with horror. 

I go home and crack open my book when I see a text from the group.
