Part 3
The show ended on its usual mid level feeling, where everyone was getting tired and sore from sitting down. of course the feeling of excitement returned when the girls thought about doing their newly developed tradition of going to McDonalds after the show.
They piled into the car and Dina started the engine, not really saying much about the show at all.
"Umm... Deens... what was all that about.. at the start of the show" Bailey asked curiously, convinced that something was going on.
"What... nothing happened at the start of the show?"
"You didnt notice? God he was staring right at you! and you were looking back... it was like... he just couldnt help it!"
"Yeah... that was weird" Ezzy added before she could respond.
"he was probably trying to find some reason to pick on me or something... you know he's starting to recognise us now. We go to the show every few weeks and always sit right down the front" Dina responded, rattling off something that sounded like a reasonable explanation.
"thats crap Deens and you know it" bails said unconvinced...
"Are we going to Maccas or what?" Dina asked and the others agreed, quickly forgetting the topic when she started talking about how sexy paul looked in his new velvet suit. The conversation quickly shifted to hunting for an appartment the following day, especially looking at that great sounding place near Bondi beach.
They pulled into the McDonalds after taking a bit of a drive around, just to pass some time and piled out of the car, Dina lagging behind the others claiming she dropped a $2 and wanted to find it, urging the others to go in and wait.
She pulled out the pendant from her pocket and looked at it closely... even having it in her hand produced a strange energy which increased as the placed it around her neck again. This time the feeling not taking over her so much.
Se stepped into the petrol station and walked towards the McDonalds counter, spotting her friends standing a good 2 meters away from Paul who had already turned up. She moved to be with them and her eyes fixed on Paul. His head slowly moved up and he turned to see her. Their eyes locked and unable to break the gaze.
Paul turned, leaving the pimply faced highschool boy at the counter waiting to be paid and he walked over to Dina, almost pushing Mikey to the ground on his way through.
"Excuse me... Umm... god this is weird... but... Have we... met?"
Their eyes still fixed firmly on eachothers she shook her head and quietly responded.
"No... Ive.. been to the show a few times... but... yeah"
"Whats your name?"
"Dina" she said, almost too quickly.
The moment was broken when Paul heard Mikey calling him, having paid for his meal and was wanting to leave.
"Ive... gotta go... umm.. Bye" he said and turned towards the door, looking back before he got into the car.
"oh... my god!!!!" Bails and Ezzy screamed but Dina... she just looked towards the door. The drive back to the hotel was silent on her part, with the chatter of her 2 friends in the background of her thoughts. She went to bed as soon as the arrived, though this time the pendant remained around her neck.
