"Finally! I have a day off from work and school. Now we can go to the mall!" I said happily. I couldn't wait to go to the arcade and play all my favorite video games. Xiola, who was next to me, just sighed.

"Video games are cool and all, but I wish that I could do the real stuff that you see in fighting games." Xiola said.

I just shook my head and got into my car followed by Xiola. We made it to the mall, and when we got out of the car, I saw a group of kids heading for the nearby construction site.

"That's strange. Why would anyone go to that place?" I thought aloud.

"Maybe to screw around? Geez Teresa, you're a very naive person. They can be doing drugs for all I care." Xiola said as she leaned her back on my car.

I wasn't very interested in what Teresa was wondering about. I just wanted to be somewhere else other than school and Teresa's apartment. She can be such an airhead at times, but she's cool.

I stopped leaning against the car and got a better look at the kids who were heading for the construction site. A couple of them looked familiar to me because we go to the same school. I never bothered to keep their faces nor their names straight though.

"If you really want to know what they're up to, lets follow them." I said finally after the long silence.

"What?! You're joking. Anyways we came here to the mall to hang out and... Hey! Where do you think you're going?!"

I was already walking towards the construction site before Teresa could finish her sentence. As I walked, I tried to follow the group of kids without being seen. I watched them enter the site and when I was about to follow, I was grabbed from the back of my shirt and almost fell backwards.

"Xiola, don't ever run off like that! You know how much trouble we'll get--" I quickly cover her mouth and told her to be quiet.

"I want to see if I can scare these people... heh heh..." I whispered with a smile.

Teresa just shook her head and sighed. I guess she knew that she couldn't get me to leave anymore. Less arguing for me to deal with at least.
