Enrique agreed to drive Emanuela, Daniel, Joe, and Alexis to the mall and walk around with them because none of them can drive. They all walked into Hot Topic. Alexis gravitated towards anything pink and Joe just followed her. They always walked hand in hand, Alexis usually pulling him around. Daniel and Emanuela went to look at MCR merch. As he was walking around the display, Emanuela followed him. He started to walk away, but she grabbed his hand and pulled him close to her. She kissed him. They pulled apart and Daniel smiled at her.

Enrique walked over to them, "Hey guys can you hurry up in here, I kinda wanna go to the cafe."

Emanuela looked at Daniel then back at Enrique, "Will you pay for me?"

Enrique laughed a little. "Sure."

Emanuela POV

Joe and Alexis ran ahead and picked out a seat for them to sit in at the cafe. Enrique stopped and handed me some money. "Get me a pretzel and a cherry Pepsi."

He walked towards the bathrooms, grabbing some cash from his pocket.

"What is he doing?" Daniel asked me.

"I don't know, maybe we should go find out," I said nervously

"No, we shouldn't, what if he's buying drugs or something? He's not telling you because he doesn't want you to be part of that or be in danger."

"Yeah, you're right. Let's go get his food." I said grabbing Daniel's hand.

Daniel and I bought our food and Enrique's food. When we turned around, we saw Nick walking out of the bathroom after Enrique. "Daniel, look!" I said, pointing towards Nick.

I stormed towards Enrique. "What was Nick doing in the bathroom?"

Enrique grabbed my arm and shushed me. "I was just talking to him, and he agreed to not be mean to you or Daniel, okay?"

"How did you do that, Enrique?" I said, taking a step back from him.

He moved in closer and whispered, "You're not allowed to tell this to anyone okay?"

I nodded.

"Okay, he's in this little business, and I raised my offer from what I usually pay by a couple hundred dollars.

"What are you buying from him? Are you buying weed!? That's illegal!" I said in a shushed scream.

He put his finger over my mouth. "It's not weed, its Xanax. You're not allowed to tell anyone about this, I don't care how mean he's been to you."

I nodded and we went off to eat lunch.
