I turned the corner and ran into some girl.
        "Ow!" I exclaimed
        "Sorry," she returned.
        "Holy crap...Hannah!?" I realized
        "Yeah...Sarah!?" she replied with enthusiasm.
        "What are YOU doing here!?" I quickly asked her. "I thought you were busy today?"
        "Well, what are YOU doing here? Having FUN! The work schedule changed at the last minute, but you guys had already left the house--"
        "You will NeVeR guess who we met...!" I started, interrupting her.
        "Who, hmmm?" she inquired.
        "Um, them..." I said pointing to the Boys as they, Julie, and Jenny, finally caught up with me. Hannah's face changed a tinge in both color and expression. She was speechless.
        "Hannah? Is that you?" Julie exclaimed, running over our friend,  diverting Hannah's attention from the Boys to Julie and Jenny.
        "Hey Hannah!" Jenny greeted her. The Boys stood beside us, and politely waited for us to calm down with our greetings and introduce them.
        "Oh yeah..." I sheepishly ginned at them, "Guys, this is Hannah. Hannah, this is Howie, AJ, Brian, Nick, and Kevin, " she shook their hands, "...but as if you didn't know that," I added as they smiled.
        "Charmed to meet you," greeted Howie.
        "Wuzzup?" AJ shook her hand.
        "Hallo!" Brian grinned.
        "Hey!" Nick said.
        "Pleased to meet you," Kevin smiled.
        "Uh, um...Hi," she finally managed to stutter.
Brian grinned at her, "Aw, dun worry...we don't bite!" he made Hannah smile.
        "Um, hellooo...people....sorry to interrupt this whole greeting extravaganza, but nourishment needed here....stomach growling....food wanted sometime today please, " Jenny interjected. We all laughed.
        "Well I'm first in line!" I called.
        "Well then!" Julie replied.
        "Me hungry too!" Hannah complained.
        "So? Point being...?" I smiled. She rolled her eyes at me.
        "Nooo! ME hungry more!" Nick caught on.
        "Like, whateva! I'm, like, the one who deserves to be numero uno in this line," Brian jokingly piped up in a valley girl voice.
        "Ladies first, " AJ said grabbing Jenny from behind him and putting her in front of him in the line.
        "OW, " she exclaimed with a smirk, "Yes, that WAS my arm you grabbed." AJ shrugged his shoulders. The line order was finally me first, then Hannah, Julie, Nick, Brian, Jenny, AJ, Howie, and Kevin
        "Wait, so what are we getting?" Kevin called from the back of the line.
        "Clam chowder in bread bowls," I called back, so everyone in the line could hear.
        "Ewww!" Nick exclaimed.
        "Don't worry, they are so good," Julie tried to explain as he made a face.
        "Yeah Frack, lighten up, try new things!" Brian smacked him atop the head.
        "OW... fine," Nick returned, rubbing his head.
        I received my lunch and paid, and went to find a table that would hold 9 people, quite a task. The area was small, but no one else was around, I placed my lunch on a table and started to arrange them together to hold all of us.
        "Um, hungry a bit?" I inquired, raising an eyebrow at Nick and Brian, who looked like they were racing each other. They stopped for a moment to look up and vigorously nod, then dove back into their lunch. "I take it you like clam chowder, Nick..." I asked him, he nodded again and went back to eating.  Julie had sat down on the other side of them by Nick and was eating, slowly and daintily as usual, pausing to snicker at Brian and Nick. Across from me and next to Julie, AJ was trying to imitate Jenny's eating habits, slurping when she sipped the chowder, etc. She would roll her eyes at him, and he would mimic her by rolling his plus making some sort of face. Howie was having fun watching their silent feud as he sat next to Jenny. Hannah finally sat down by Howie and ate slowly, trying to take in the concept that she was sitting, eating lunch in Disneyland, with the Backstreet Boys. Kevin was between me and Hannah. He gave me this look as if saying "Don't worry, we can be normal". I smiled.
        "So Hannah, are you from around here?" Howie inquired, forcing Nick and Brian to slow down eating and pay attention.
        "Yeah, " she replied, "South of LA...like sorta in San Diego, but not, kinda north of it....just like these three here, I live with the freaks " She indicated pointed to Julie, Jenny, and me.
        "Cool, " Brian said, trying to get into the conversation. "Like roommates?"
        "We share a house. We all went to the same junior high and high school...well, that is, except for SARAH for the later part," she emphasized my name, "She ditched us to go to another high school, " she finished.
        "Oh really?" Kevin asked, interested.
        "Yeah, yeah, they can never let it go. I chose a different high school, and loved it. They just can't comprehend that fact! I mean, I'm with some of them now in college. I got into Berkeley but transferred down to UCSD. They just like holding grudges..." I replied.
        "Whatever," Julie smiled and rolled her eyes at me, "Our high school was still better..."
        "Nuh-uh!" I shot back.
        "Uh-huh!" Hannah and Jenny joined in.
        "Nuh-uh!" Nick and Brian screamed in unison. We looked at them. They shrugged and grinned, "Just felt like arguing!" they explained.
        "What the...?!" I exclaimed as I felt a splash of clam chowder on my cheek. I turned in the direction that it came from as the others snickered.
        "Oh, did I do that?" Jenny sheepishly grinned.
        "Oh, you're dead!" I exclaimed, ripping a piece of bread out of the bread bowl, and chucking it at her. It hit AJ smack in the eyes, well actually, right on his prized sunglasses.
        "Ohhh, now it's gone TOO far!" he yelled and he catapulted some clam chowder in my direction with his spoon. I ducked and it hit Kevin's head.
        "Hey!" He exclaimed. Nick and Brian couldn't pass up the chance.
        "FOOD FIGHT!!!!!" they screamed standing up, throwing their food.
        "Ahhh! Noooo!" Jenny, Hannah, Julie, and I screamed and we tried to find cover.
        "Oh JuLiE..." Nick sweetly said.
        "Yeah?" She turned around.
        "Take that!" he shoved his bread bowl forward. She quickly ducked and it landed smack in Brian's face; he was about to attempt to scare Julie from behind when she had unexpectedly ducked.
        "Ahhh, NICK!" He yelled, trying to run after his friend.
        "Calm down," Julie said holding him back, "Here, you might want to get the chowder off your face..." Julie giggled handing him some napkins. Brain smiled at her kindness as she helped him wipe off his faces and his hair. Nick, still running, ran right into Kevin, who was ready and waiting with his bread bowl. Nick's face got covered.
        "Aww, is Nicky boy all dirty now?" Kev grinned.
        "No, but Kevvy boy IS!" I yelled as I saw Howie dump the contents of his bread bowl on Kevin.
        "D!!!" He exclaimed.
        "Hey Howie!" Hannah screamed.
        "Huh?" He turned to see Hannah throw her bread bowl at him. He jumped out of the way as it landed on someone else's head.
        "Omagod! I'm sorry Mr..." Hannah ran over and helped the guy take the bowl off his head "Holy crap..." she whispered when she got the bowl off and he wiped his face. We all stopped to see whom she had hit.
