Noah's POV
It was Friday morning. I jumped out of bed, took a shower, and got dressed. As I headed downstairs for breakfast, I stopped halfway down the stairs because I heard something that I haven't heard since, well ever. It was absolutely silent.
I ran down the rest of stairs and into the kitchen. No one was there. I instantly saw a neon pink post it on the fridgerator. I ran to the fridge and read the post it. I read, "Went to I-Hop with the kids. I didn't want to wake you because you were sleeping so peacefully. Be back soon. Love Mom." I put the post it on the counter top. "Great. Home alone again." I went into the living room and turned to the news channel like I do everyday when I'm home alone. By the time I got halfway through my show, it was 9 o'clock. I was bored. I didn't feel like playing video games or online chess. I thought maybe I should call Star to see if she'd like to hang out. I ran upstairs to my room and grabbed my cell phone from my nightstand. I went to 'call history' and pressed the number that last contacted me. Star's number. The phone began to ring.

Star's POV
My gymnastics tornament was today at 12 in the afternoon. I was in the kitchen eating breakfast. It was 8 o'clock in the morning. My breakfast today was apple cinnamon oatmeal. To my surprise, eating oatmeal at a slow pace made it even more lumpy than usual. I put my spoon down in my bowl and stared at my lumpy bowl of now cold oatmeal. "Sweetheart, you got to eat for the tornament", said my mom coming to sit next to me at the kitchen table.

"I'm too disappointed to eat, Mom."

"I know you were looking foward to that date, honey. But you'll have other dates."

"But not with him."

"Tell me, what's so special about this boy?"

"Well, so many things. He's very intelligent and facetious."

"Those are many things?"

"Okay, maybe not so many things. But I forgot to add that he's really cute."

"I see." My mom put her arms around me. "Do you have this boy's telephone number?"

Star's POV
I have a date is all I thought when I boarded the bus on my way to the mall. I felt ecstatic. I felt like my heart would explode with content. I couldn't stop smiling. I was going on a date with Noah! I got off the bus and walked one block to the mall. When I entered the mall, I decided to buy a new bathing suit. It was my first date to a water park after all. I went to Ujena. When I walked into the store, a lady who worked there came up to me and said, "Hi. May I help you?"

"Yes. I'm looking for a two piece swimsuit that isn't too revealing."

"If you would just follow me, Miss." I followed her to where they had the halter top bikinis. "Hope you find something you like. If you need me, I'll be by the entrance."

"Thnak you so much." She smiled then walked away. I skimmed through the first rack and went to the second. I saw it. A black halter bikini. "Perfect." I looked at the price. "Woah." I went back to the entrance of the store to find the lady. I went up to her and said, "Do you have a clearance rack with those same types of swimwear?" I was referring to the halter top bikinis.
