"...so I'll see you then?"
"Yup..talk to you soon Chris..bye!"
"See ya babe."
Chris hung up the phone and dialed Greg's number.
"Hello?", Greg answered.
"You, Me, Desiray, and Melissa all have plans for this friday night!"
"You talked to Desiray?"
"Yup and everything is settled. We're all gonna go to the fair friday night. We'll pick the girls up at Melissa's house around 7 and then we're off to the fair!"
"Sweet..thanks man!"
"Now all you have to do is call Melissa."
"What time is it now?"
"About 11:30. Call her tomorrow she's probably already sleeping by now."
"Alright, I will. I gotta go tho. Thanks again man. C ya"
"Later."

After Greg hung up with Chris, he went straight to bed with dreams of what was going to happen on Friday night.

"Hey Melissa!", Desiray cheerily greeted her friend the next morning at school.
"Hey Desiray. Why are you so happy this morning? You're never this awake in the morning."
"Oh, nothing really. Just happy because its Tuesday and there's only 3 days til Friday!"
"Ok, then.", a confused Melissa replied.
Just then Chris walked up to the two girls to say good morning.
"Hello there ladies and how are you both doing this morning?"
"I'm great Chris, how are you?", Desiray answered.
"I'm cool!"
"What is with you people this morning?! You all are scaring me."
"We're just happy because its today! You will be tomorrow." Desiray said while looking at Chris who also had a smirk on his face.
"Did someone forgot to tell me about something? I feel left out."
"Nope, don't worry!" Chris told her.

Just then the bell rang and they all went to their classes. The day went by slow for Melissa. At 2:00, school was over and she went home. She had tons of homework and decided to get it done right after school. She did at about 5. She got ready for dance, ate dinner, went online fo a little bit and then by 6:30 she was off to dance. After a tiring dance class, Melissa came home to a mesage on her answering machine.
"Hmm, I wonder who called me.", Melissa said as she pressed the button to listen to the message.
"Hey Melissa...Its Greg...Chris's friend...Um, well, I was..I mean I wanted to ask you something so if you could give me a call back. My number is 555-1234. Thanks..Cya."
A smile came to Melissa's face. Her day had gone horrible. Her classes dragged by, her mom was nagging her about her room being a mess, being worked hard in class because of other people, but when she heard his voice all those worries went away. He had called her. Greg wanted to talk to her, Melissa MacPherson. She couldn't believe it. She picked up her phone and dialed the number he had left.
"Hello?", Greg answered.
"Hey Greg, its Melissa", she said slyly.
"Oh, hey. Whats up?'', he replied so happy to hear her voice.
"Nothing much. I just got home from dance and I heard you're message so I figured I'd call you back."
"Ohhh, ya. I did call you, didn't I?
"Hehe, yes you did. You said you wanted to ask me something."
"Ya, I do. What are you doing this friday night?"

"Nothing that I know of, why?", Melissa answered with a smile on her face.
"Would you like to come to the fair with me?"
"I'd love to!"
"Cool, Chris and Desiray are coming too! It'll be like a double date."
"Haha. Cool! Thats probably why they were so happy today. haha Alrite, I gotta get going! I'll talk to you later tho ok?"
"Alright."
"Okay, I cant wait til Friday! Good night Greg!"
"Later."

Friday Night 6:30 pm Melissa's house.

"Ahhh, Melissa. Im so nervous!", Desiray said.
"Me too!"

The girls were finishing getting ready. They checked to make sure they looked perfect. The boys arrived exactly at 7 o'clock.
Ding-dong

Desiray ran to the window to see who it was. "Melissa, its them!"
"Okay, then answer the door!"
"Rite."

Before she went to the door she did a quick mirror check and took a deep breath.
"Okay, here goes nothing.", she said to herself.

Desiray opened the door to find both of the boys checkin their hair in the window's reflection. Desiray laughed at the site.
"Hey guys!", she said while still laughing.
"Oh, hey", an embrassed Chris and Greg replied.
"Come on in. Melissa should be finished in a sec. Let me go get her."
She walked up the stairs to Melissa's room.
"Come on. Lets go. Theyre downstairs."
"Okay. Lets go". Melissa said with a smile.
The two girls walked down stairs to meet then boys.
"Hey Melissa", Greg said.
"Hey.",she replied. "Let me go tell my mom were leaving and then we can go."
Melissa went into her kitchen, told her mom they were leaving, and then went back to the others.
"Okay, Lets go!"
The four piled into Greg's car and drove to the carnival. After finding a parking space, they all went inside.
"Wow, this place looks like alot of fun.", Melissa said amazed at all the ride, games food stands, etc.
"Yea, it does. What do you wanna do first?", Greg asked.
"I say we just walk around and whatever we happen to see we can do.", Chris suggested.
"Yeah, thats a good idea.", Desiray agreed.
"Alright", Melissa said.
"I say yeah, if Melissa says alright.", Greg said slyly.
"Greg - that was cheesy.", Melissa laughed.
"Hey, I try." Greg replied.

The four set off to see what was at the fair.
