, “Okay, tell us again, Reese,” Denny demanded. “Why did you want us to meet you here?”

They were all sitting in the food court at the mall. Cree, his strawberry-haired girlfriend, and their best friends Millie, Jenny, Jordon and Denny.

“Yeah, Reese,” Millie said, taking a sip of her frosty. “What’s going on?”

“Not trouble, I hope,” Jordon said, pushing up his glasses that were about to fall off.

“Why do you all assume there’s going to be trouble?” Reese asked and took a bite of his hamburger.

“Reese, just spill it,” Jenny said. She was incognito that day, seeing that she was in public.

“Okay,” Reese said. “I found out about this new dance club. The best part is we don’t have to hide who we are.” He pulled a flier out of his pocket and placed it in the middle of the table. “It opened last week. So what do you guys say we check it out?”

“A Sadian club?” Denny questioned. “Cool.”

“Sounds fishy to me,” Jordon said. “It sounds too good to be true, and when something sounds too good then it usually is.”

“Everything?” Millie questioned, winking at him.

“Well, not everything,” he said, looking over at Millie.

“It sounds like fun to me,” Cree said, smiling at Reese. “I’m in.” She looked over at her friends one by one. “Come on, guys. We need a break, one night of pure fun. What do you say?”

“Okay,” Jenny said. “Let’s go for it.”

“Great,” Millie said. “I think this may be a night to remember.”

Denny and Jordon groaned. “I guess we have no choice, egghead.”

Millie shot him a dirty look. “Hey, you dumb jock,” she fired at him. She rose from her seat and pointed a finger at him. “Lay off my boyfriend.” A little spark came out of her finger. Cree was horrified by the display.

“Millie!” Cree half shouted, trying not the draw too much attention their way. “Cut it out before someone sees you.”

Jordon threw her a look of disapproval. “Don’t listen to him,” Jordon said, grabbing her free arm. She slowly sat back down.
