Why would you get paid overtime?! Saturday you are only WORKING 6.5 hours, and Sunday you're only working 7.5 hours. The only way you would get overtime is if you work more than 40 hours a week. OR, if you WORK (not including lunch) more than 8 hours at a time (but some places do get around that..) And if you aren't on salary.

overtime is required in most states only when the work-week exceeds 40 hours. There are a couple states that require overtime whenever a single day of work exceeds 8 hours of actual work, but Calif is not one of those states.
