A few moments later Naveene opened the door to the pool room. A blast if hot air and steam hit him as he opened the door. He walked in and set his towel down. "Canon ball!" He yelled before running and jumping into the pool.
Maya tried calling again.

"Impressive!" He said while smiling. He then turned and swam towards the edge of the pool and sat up on the side. His phone buzzed and he picked it up.
"Naveene! I've called your like seven times! And you didn't pick up! You can't do that!" She said with a sigh of relief and worried.
Naveene smiled, "Sorry, M!" He said with a guilty laugh. "You disappeared!"
"I disappeared? You disappeared! I've been looking for you all over!"'she said while running her hand through her hair nervously. She took a deep breath, "well. Just.. where are you now? Did you leave the mall?"
Naveene glanced at Crystal, "no. I-I'm at the pool."
"Oh! I'm near there!"
"Cool."
Maya laughed, "hold on I'm coming."

Naveene sighed, "we are... But my friend that I came with is super worried." He said. "Here." He said while jumping in and picking her up and sitting her up on the side. "There." He said while smiling at her and standing up.
Maya entered the pool house, and looked around for Naveene.
Naveene turned towards the girl, "Maya!" He called.
Maya saw him and her eyes lit up. "Naveene!" She ran over to him to hug him. She didn't seem to care that he was soaking wet. Naveene picked her up and twirled her around making her laugh.
He then put Maya down. "You scared me!" She said angrily at him.
"Sorry!" He said while hugging her again.
Maya then pulled away and looked up at him, "look! I finally got all the stuff I wanted at Sephora! Like it?" She asked.
Naveene sighed.
"What?.." maya said while looking concerned. "You don't like it?"
Naveene smiled, "I like it...it's just." Naveene then grabbed Maya.
"Naveene! No!" She exclaimed while tripping to squirm away. Naveene jumped into the pool and stayed under for a moment. Maya burst to the surface as she struggled to stay up. Naveene came up from under her and held her in his arms. Maya was panicking.
Naveene laughed, "it's alright. I gotcha!" He said. He wiped away Maya's remaining makeup that hadn't washed off. "Much better!"
Maya laughed, "youre such a goof!"

Rick sat by the fountain, drinking a Mountain Dew. He looked out to the empty mall. It was eerily quiet without the cacophony of countless voices chattering and gossiping friends, family, and sorority girls about, or the clack of high heels freshly purchased by middle aged women, or the shrill cry of infants in full diapers, or the operating of machinery from the nearby food stands. The mall was well lit and clean. And empty. It reminded Rick of photos he had seen that came out of Chernobyl. Empty. Desolate. Left for dead.
He shook his head and stood. He was hungry and didn't feel like more granola. He hopped the counter of a Dairy Queen and stacked together multiple ingredients, including a burger he made for himself. He then figured out how to make a blizzard using the machine. He mixed Oreo bits, caramel, and fudge. "Why the hell not?" He said aloud. He also fried up a batch of french fries and stored them in the cardboard box they were designated with. He put the burger on a wrapper, but didn't bother to wrap it. It all went on a tray before he hopped the counter and took a seat at a table and chowed down on the rather normal tasting meal.

Rick looked up. He stood and took a handful of fries, which he stuffed in his mouth to quickly chew and swallow. A black pocket knife was pulled from his pocket and he opened it. he peered into the kitchen and saw Becca on the floor, coated in ice cream. He sighed loudly and rolled his eyes, putting the knife away. "I know you're following me." He called into the DQ. He stood around the corner, back against the wall so he was out of her line of sight.

"Bull. Everywhere I go, you're a step behind me." He crossed his arms. It wasn't fair. Of all the people he could be trapped with, it had to be her. Again.
((Sorry, Rick is my designated drama character. XD))

Crystal laughed. "You must be his friend. I'm crystal!" Maya looked over Naveene's shoulder, "oh! Sorry! Hi! I'm Maya! I would have introduced myself...but as you can see I got thrown into a pool." She joked. She took a few moments to think of something, "wait... Naveene! Meeting!" she said while looking up at the man. Naveene waded farther away with Maya still cradled in his arms. "what?" He asked all innocently. Maya glared at him, "what do you mean, what? Who is this girl that you are stripping with in a pool!" she whispered. "okay first of all. This is a bathing suit. Second, she is just a friend." "Nav, We literally live right next door. I know who all your friends are. She is not one of them!" "Okay...I like, just met her a few hours ago." Maya gave him a look, "what if she's some perv looking to get you!" Naveene sighed, "calm down Maya. You're starting to sound like our parents! And besides, I'm like, four times her size. I don't think she's over taking me without my consent." Maya shot him a look. Naveene sighed, "that's not going to happen!" He reassured her. Maya growled, "alright. But I'm staying. And if anything happens I swear to god I will drive away and leave you here!" Naveene laughed, "is that your way of threatening me? We live only like, three blocks away." "Don't think I still won't do it!"

Naveene waded back over to Crystal. “Hi! I’m Maya. I’m sorry! I would have introduced myself earlier but I was thrown into a pool!” She said while eyeing Naveene with annoyance. “Now. I’m going to go get a dry change of clothes.” She said while wading over to the stairs and getting out. She grabbed Naveene’s towel and wrapped it around herself.
“Hey! that’s mine!” Naveene said.
“Hey! You brought this on yourself!” She said while walking away.

Naveene sighed and rolled his eyes, “we’re neighbors. We’ve been friends ever since we were practically babies!” He said with a laugh, “she’s definitely one of a kind!” He joked. “But... now we are alone...” he said while sinking down into the water.

Naveene was the first to get there.he didn’t even wait a moment for Crystal to arrive. “Eat my dust!” He yelled as he plunged down the water slide.
((Now that I read what’s at the mall at the first page I see how jam packed this mall is! Like, what malls do you go to?!

((Oh yeah, that's a pretty impressive mall. Also, didn't read recent stuff, so hopefully this to isn't a non sequitur...))
"I'm not following you." Rick said flatly. He lit another cigarette between his lips.
((I guess Matthew is open?))
Matthew was stacking pots. He was on a ladder, stacking them as high as possible. Once he was done, he stood back to admire his masterpiece. "I'm practically Jackson Pollock." He beamed.

Rick looked around the corner. He sighed disparagingly. "Are you okay? You got that s*** all over the floor." He stated, rather addled as to how such a blunder could be achieved.
