Naomi's P.O.V.
It's safe to say the girls were all quite surprised with restaurant the boy's decided on. It was an Italian restaurant called 'Babbo Ristorante' on Waverly place. We had had to take the subway to get here and walk a bit.

As soon as the girls realised we were on Waverly place Rachel clapped excitedly, rambling about Wizards of Waverly place and about how she loved the show. Ashton met Julia's gaze and rolled his eyes dramatically at his younger sisters excitement.
Luke and Breanna were walking closely together, chatting as they did. It seemed that everyone was getting on quite well. I felt Michael's warm hand brush over mine before he interlocked our fingers.

I smiled as I leaned closer to him, sighing contently.

"How are you doing?" He asked, his voice kind as always.

I shrugged.

"Okay I guess. I haven't really talked to any of them much" I replied honestly, feeling a little embarrassed about my lack of socialising.

"Hmm.. okay hang on" he said quietly before yelling out "Rachel!"

She was walking near the front of the group, excitedly taking in all of New York. It was safe to say she was in a much better mood than we was in early.

She quickly made her way back to us smiling warmly at Mikey.

"What's up?" She asked, a friendly smile on her face yet she looked curious.

"Well, Ashton tells me your a big Harry Potter fan?" Michael asked her.

"Understatement" she answered quickly. I immediately knew where he was going with this.

"Names is obsessed with it here, never stops on about it" he told her, rolling his eyes.

She giggled.

"Who's your favourite character? Mines definitely Sirius! But I do like Remus as well.. you know I just love the marauders. But I do love Fred and George too" she instantly went off in a rant and I smiled a little, glad that we finally had some common ground.

When at last we arrived at the restaurant I was feeling much better having spent the walk chatting with Rachel about how we pictured the marauders as children.

At the restaurant we had a round table that seated eight. I ended up sitting with Rachel on one side of me and Michael on the other. Ashton was chatting with Julia while Luke and Breanna were laughing at something I assumed one of them had said.

I couldnt help but notice that Calums eyes were trained on Rachel as she read her menu. In fact he had spent a lot of time looking at her today. I nudged him under the table with my foot and he looked around wildly to see what was going on. When he met my eye his eyebrows were furrowed in confusion.

I subtly nodded to Rachel. He just rolled his eyes shaking his head. I mean they had only met yesterday but Calum was quite a big flirt and if he decided he liked the look of Rachel. And Ashton had said Rachel was a flirt so she'd have no problem flirting back with him.

Ashton would be pretty upset if he thought Calum was into her. Though right now Ashton seemed pretty preoccupied finding out about Julia's life back home and what sort of stuff she was into.

I gave Calum a stern look, gesturing to Ashton with my eyes. He knew how it was - Rachel was off limits.
