Chapter 7

  Sorry I haven't been writing for a while, but here is chapter 7! Vote and share. Bye!  

Darrel's POV 

  We rushed to the movie theater, having slept in waaay too long. Here's a play-by-play of the day thus far. We woke up at around 1 in the afternoon. Yup. Then, the stove broke as my mom was making us lunch. Yup. After than, I had to help Lauria conceal her puffy eyelids. Not an easy feat. Yup. Then we had to sneak into her house to pick an outfit. We staked out her house until we saw her mom leave, then we ran and entered through Lauria's window. Yup. After that we returned home. Mind you, it was now 4:30. The movie was at 5:15, and it takes 25 minutes to get there! We still had to get dinner and find our seats before the movie started! I quickly pulled on an outfit, and we drove away. Mom kept looking back in the rear-view mirror, smiling embarrassingly. 

"You know, you can just tell me who your going with..." she said for the fourth time this hour.

  "Mom!" I groaned, while Lauria giggled. "It's a secret. I'm not ready to tell you yet." Mom nodded and looked away. 

  I thought she had given up until she said "Lauria honey, who all is going?" Lauria answered by listing her, me, Mik and an "anonymous person." She is such an awesome friend. We pulled into the Berlin 12 cinema parking lot, and mom dropped us off. As we stood outside the movie theater, bedazzled beyond what I thought was possible. I didn't see Luke, but Lauria ran over to Mik like he was the last person on earth! 

  "Mik! hi" she said, noticing that she practically screamed his name. He blushed as she ran over and bear-hugged him.

  "Hey Lauria!" he said matching her volume, even though she was an inch away from him. I looked around, looking for Luke.  "He said he might be a little late." Mik said. "I'm not supposed to tell you why though."

  "Ok..." I said, suspicious. Mik grinned and turned back to Lauria. I tuned out their conversation, watching the cars driving in and out of the parking lot. My eyes widened as an orange  Bentley drove in. I had seen Luke being dropped off from that same car at school. But this time it had a sign on the side and balloons coming out of the window. I smiled wider than a football field when I read what the sign said:

  WILL YOU BE MY BOYFRIEND, DARREL? 

  Lauria was crying, I was crying and Mik was smirking because he knew it was going to happen. Luke stepped out of the car and strolled over to us. 

  "Well?" he asked, a hopeful glimmer in his eyes. I chuckled, still crying a little, and nodded, too emotional to speak. He laughed and turned around His mom was leaning out of the window, apparently waiting. He gave her a thumbs up and she shrieked and clapped excitedly. She regained her composure and waved to us, then drove off. 

  "Well, Mr. Namgung-Cho..." I said, gazing into his eyes. "You've outdone yourself." He bowed and grinned. 

  "Anything for my honey," he said. I was still looking into his brown eyes when Luke leaned in. His lips crashed in like a wave, shocks passing throughout my body. Lauria was jumping up and down and squealing. Mik was doing something on his phone. I didn't really pay attention to that part. I was too busy blushing and being my awkward self. A few people had seen and where either cheering or looking away. I was getting nauseous when I realized that there were a LOT of people who were looking at us. Luke and Lauria noticed and grabbed my arms, pulling me into the theater. Mik trailed behind, still on his phone. I handed me and Lauria's tickets to the attendant. We decided to split the money and pay for both tickets. Luke pulled his out and nudged Mik to get him to fork his over. After that, we traversed through the rope lines to the snack counter, where I bought me and Lauria some popcorn and skittles. Lauria's money was at her house and she didn't feel like doing another break-in. 

  Her mom has been heavily drinking and smoking, basically sinking into the hole of demise. (Never to return. Hint, hint.)

  We hurried down the hall, as it was already 4:30, and the movie started soon. I looked down at our tickets.  I glanced back to make sure Luke and Mik were still following. Honestly! I think Mik might be on a date with his phone instead of Lauria. We hustled into the room where they were playing the movie, and went to our seats. D6-10. The trailers started rolling. And Mik started running! He sprinted out of the theater, and into the night. 

  I've been trying to end this chapter for a while, so I thought here would be good. Cliffhanger! Please vote and share with your friends. Bye!
