BACK NEXT

Monday rolled round. Sweet and Innocent (The name of the girl's band) were in Kayleigh's bedroom getting ready to go out.
"How much do you really like Mark, Claire?" asked Raychaelle.
"Loads" replied Claire. "I can't wait for this afternoon. A film and then dinner."
"What are you watching anyway?" asked Julie.
"Um...Scream 4" replied Hanna. "But I don't think me and Nicky will be watching the film."
"Ohhhhh" said everyone else together, laughing.
"I think someones in love" said Raychaelle.
"She has been since she first set eyes on him backstage at the Smash hits tour in 98" said Julie. "That was nearly 3 years ago!"
"And your just doing something about it now!?" cried Kayleigh.

Meanwhile, at Mark's house. Nicky and Mark are getting ready. Mark's little brother Barry keeps bugging them.
"Is she nice?" asks Barry.
"She sure is." replied Mark.
"How old is she?"
"19".
"Are you going to kiss her?"
"Just go away Barry!" shouts Mark. "You've been bugging me about this all day.
I'm fed up now".
"Ok. Ok I'm going. Have fun!" said Barry as he left the room. Nicky is sat on Mark's bed laughing.
"What are you laughing about?"
"The kid has a point. Are you going to kiss her or not?"
"And you can shut your mouth too Nicholas!!" Laughs Mark. Then he adds quietly "I hope so. Are you ready?"
"Yep" said Nicky. "let's go get em".

Bryan, Kian and Shane pull up behind Nicky and Mark. Kayleigh, Raychaelle and Julie climb into Bryan's car. Hanna and Claire are on they're way to Nicky's car when Hanna's phone rings. "Hello?". It's her friend Cherie. "Hi Cherie. How are you?"
"I'm fine" replied Cherie. "I'm just phoning to see if you wanted to go out sometime next week?"
"Yeah sure" replied Hanna. "I can't talk right now though me and Claire are just going out on a date with Nicky and Mark."
"Are they all with you?"
"No" replied Hanna. "The other three have taken Jules, Rach and Kay Go Karting."
"Oh ok" said Cherie. "I'll phone you tomorrow. Cya!"
"Ok. Bye!"
Hanna got to the car where everyone was waiting and climbed in the front with Nicky. Mark and Claire got chatting in the back. "I've been looking forward to this since Saturday morning" said Nicky, smiling. And he drove off to the cinema.

The cinema was almost empty when they got there. Being it was Monday night and there was nobody in town.
"Butter or salt?" said the lady behind the popcorn counter.
"Um...We'll have a large salt and a large butter. Two medium diet pepsi's, and two medium Cola's." said Mark.
"And a packet of peanut M&M's" said Hanna. "They're my favourite. Yum!"
"And a packet of peanut M&M's please" said mark to the popcorn lady.
Mark and Nicky paid half each and grabbed the tray. They walked into the theatre.

At the race track, Julie, Bryan, Kian, Raychaelle, Shane, and Kayleigh jump into
their cars. Kian and Kayleigh sit talking side by side in their cars while the others start racing. Kian doesn't look too happy.
"You alright Kian?" asks Kay.
"Yeah. I've just been thinking that's all. Nicky and Mark going out with the girls tonight. I really want a girlfriend." replied Kian.
"I know someone who you will really get along with. One of Hanna's friends." said Kay.
"What another fan?" asks Kian. "Sorry Kay but I don't want another fan."
"No. Not a fan".
"Then who?" asked Kian. "The girl who's sort of going out with Shane? Hollie?"
"NO KIAN!!!" said Kay. "You know Cherie Thomson the actress? She really loves you".
"Really?" said Kian, his face lighting up. "Oh I really love her. She's my fave person ever. Does she really like me?"
"Yes. I'll ask Hanna to get her to arrange a date with you. Ok?" asked Kay.
"Ok" said Kian. "Thanks a lot Kay."
"No problems Kian. Come on lets go join the others." And she speeds off onto the track.

The film has finished and they are now at Lé Bistro for dinner. Things are going really well between each pair.
"I loved that film" said Mark.
"It was ok" said Claire. "Scream 2 was the best one."
"Which do you think is the best one Nicky?" asks Mark. He looks at Nicky but he is too busy kissing Hanna.
"What do you say we get out of here and go somewhere else?" Asked Claire. "The park around the corner is really nice this time of the evening".
"Ok." Replied Mark.

At the park they just sat talking for a while. They talked about their friends, families and where they've each been with their bands. Eventually it was time to go back home. Mark walked Claire to her door.
"It was a lovely evening. Thanks" said Claire.
"That's ok. We should do this again sometime." said Mark.
"Well, goodnight" said Claire.
Claire was about to turn around and go into the house when Mark stepped closer to Claire and kissed her. They were like that for 10 minutes.

Kayleigh, Hanna (who had gotten back a few minutes earlier), Raychaelle and Julie we're watching from Raychaelle's window which was right above the door.
"Oooooooooooo!!!" said Kayleigh.
"It's about time!" said Julie.
They close the curtain and jump onto Raychaelle's bed.
"Hanna?" said Kay.
"Yup?"
"You know Cherie really likes Kian. Well he told me earlier that he really likes her and would like to arrange a date with her. Could you give her his phone number?"
"Yeah sure."

"Hey Kian you look really happy" said Bryan later that night.
"Yeah what gives?" asked Shane.
"Well, Kay is asking Hanna if she can see if her friend Cherie wants to go on a date sometime." replied Kian.
"Isn't she that actress?" asked Shane. "The one that is starring alongside Joshua Jackson in his latest film?"
"Yep. That's the one." said Kian.
"The one he absolutely adores" said Nicky.
"Go for it mate" said Mark with a wink.
