My new Neighbor's an Idol!?

One Killer Movie

After their lunch, the group was finally able to make their way to the movie theater. The place was fairly empty seeing as this was the middle of the day. Better for Ishi, it would be a pain to have to deal with loud people while watching a film.

"All right, now that we're here." Rinse said as they walked through the front door. "Can you tell us what the movie's going to be about?"

"That's easy." Otoya answered her question in a flamboyant manner, dramatically pointing to the movie poster. "We're going to be watching 'Hanako's Ghost'!" As expected, he chose the latest horror flick released to the public.

"You mean... We're watching a scary movie?" When they told her it might be a much for her tastes, Youna assumed they meant this was going to be a super violent action movie. They were teenage boys after all.

"You didn't think that the one kid who wanted to gut a fish wasn't into this stuff, right?" Personally, Ishi wasn't really into horror movies. Not because they scared him, but rather that they had become rather predictable due to the hundreds he had seen with Otoya. "It's still not to late to back out now."

"No no, you already got my ticket."

"But it could be for anything." Ishi suggested that she might be better off watching something she could like. Such as the film, 'Our Name', which was also popular. Specifically among girls her age.

"I can't do that." It would look weird if she went to watch a movie all by herself. Only losers and loners did that.

"Maybe Ishi can join you?" Otoya teased while poking at his friend. "He doesn't care for these movies either, so maybe the two of you can enjoy a little alone time together?" Obviously this was a ploy to be alone with Rinse, but Ishi put a stop to it.

"Last time I checked, you asked me to watch a movie with you from our IOU. So I'm going to do exactly just that."

"Now you're the diligent type." He sighed in slight disappointment.

"It's okay." Youna assured them. "I'm sure I can handle the movie." She wasn't confident in that statement. However, the girl didn't want them to have to accommodate for her. This girl was nearly an adult so she should be able to handle something like that.

She was dearly wrong as they finally got sat down to begin watching the film. This was quite a dreadful experience with tons of gore to go along with it. Being a movie sequel, the makers decided that they needed to top themselves from before.

"So it's going to be another one of those movies." Ishi muttered to himself in disappointment. Sure, he had already seen plenty of these movies and gotten desensitized to all the horrors before him. But at least if it was done well, he could be entertained. This was just doing things for the sake of it.

Losing interest on the big screen, his eyes began to wander towards the people around him. Next to him on the right was Otoya, with Rinse sitting past the boy. Meanwhile, Youna sat besides him to the left. Obviously this was set up by his best friend to get the chance to sit next to a real idol. Not that Ishi cared since he already got to sit next to that girl in class all day.

However, that boy wasn't making the most of it. He was way too engrossed on the screen to care about anything around him. Perhaps he shouldn't have chosen something he'd be seriously into as the film of choice. Though the logic made sense. Plenty of boy love the idea of a date while watching a horror flick. That way, when the girls got a little scared, they could grab their arm. It made someone feel good about themselves to feel like they're protecting someone. As well as having someone you like touching you.

That plan didn't seem to be working if his friend wanted Rinse to hold his arm. From the looks of it, she didn't seem to care all that much film either. He wondered what was going on in the mind of that girl, considering her work as an idol. Bright and cheerful seemed more up her alley.
