    "Are we sure about this?" Rachel asks, "I am asking for a friend" she adds.

"Don't be such a baby" Heather says and Rachel pokes her tongue out at her.

"Yes, we are sure" Asher says.

"You've got this" Eli says kissing Rachel's head.

"Now get on the seat" I tell her.

We are at a tattoo parlor. Yes, we are getting tattoos 'cause why not? I think it's awesome.

"I've got this" Rachel says and sits on the chair. The tattooist buzzes his instrument scaring Rachel, "No, I've not got this" she shouts trying to get up. Ian, Asher and I hold her down.

"Don't be a chicken Rach" I tell her.

"I want to be a chicken" Rachel says causing me to laugh.

"It's not painful" I tell her.

"And how would you know?" she asks.

"This would be my second tattoo" I tell her. She looks at me.

"Lily and I got one for our eighteenth birthday" Asher tells her. "It didn't hurt" he adds.

"Okay, fine" she says and the tattooist gets to work.

"See, that didn't hurt" I tell her after a few minutes.

"It looks so pretty" Heather tells her.

"It's cute" Rach says smiling now. "And you were right, didn't hurt" she adds.

"My turn" I say and sit down.

Ian, Asher, Eli and Heather also get their tattoos done. We got the same matching tattoo, It's a roman numeral of this year, the year we became a group.

"I love it" Asher says smiling.

"I have to agree" I say.

"For my first tattoo, I am glad it has a cool meaning" Heather says.

"Me too" Rachel says.

"What is your other tattoo?" Heather asks me.

"Roman numeral of the year Asher is born" I tell her.

"Why? You guys are twins" Rach says.

I shrug, "What can I say, I love my brother".

"And I love my sister so I got a tattoo of the year she is born" Asher says.

"You guys are weird" Heather says and Ash and I laugh.

"Don't we know it" I say high fiving Asher.

"Is anybody ready for exam week?" Eli asks and we glare at him. "What?" he asks confused.

"I love you babe but what a way to ruin the moment" Rachel says.

"I was just asking" Eli says folding his arm.

"I am done" I say. "Let's go home, Ian" I say holding Ian's hand.

We all ride back home together.

"You girls should wait here, we'd be back" Ian says kissing my cheeks before the three of them run to the back of the house.

"What do you think is happening out there?" Heather asks.
