The movie soon ends and everyone in the field breaks into a loud chatter, popcorn flying through the air. I look over at Annie to see her chatting away with the group. I don't really feel like talking to those greasers- even though I'm literally dating one. Never thought I'd see myself like this.

But I know that Mike used to be more of a 'band kid' looker when I first met him. He used to wear more colours.. and his hair used to be more shabby: cute. I don't mind his new fashion of sense of leather jackets and gelled hair- but sometimes I miss that cute 'band kid' style.

"What you thinkin' about?" Mike leans over into my ear and I jump slightly with an "oh."
"Uh- nothing." I turn to him.
"Is Annie taking you home then?" He glances over at the group.
"Why?" I smile, "are you offering to take me home?"

"You say that like I'm gonna murder you?!" He looks back with a concerned frown and I laugh, which makes him smile again.

"What if I let her drop me off, you drop off your friends," he smirks at this, "and then you can come back to get me. I'll wait outside."
"Sounds like a plan."

"But if you blow me off," I tilt my head and point.

"Nah- I know my place." He grins. "I wanna try and keep the balls that I have."

I laugh again and most of the group turn back to us. Mike immediately pulls away and slouches in his chair- looking away moodily. I sink into my chair quickly and cross my arms.

"Alright, alright- cut the crap you two." Annie smiles. "You've obviously made up already."

"Aw, man." Denny huffs and I smile- looking over. Annie then gets up:
"We're off though- c'mon." She smiles and I nod- getting up and walking out from the stalls. I hear her telling Brian that he doesn't get a kiss goodbye because he brought the boys to our girls night. I love how she's so forthright.

She then stops at Mike, causing him to look up at her nervously. "You've acted a damn fool tonight, kid." She raises a brow and I giggle- turning away. "Don't you dare let me catch you pullin' some shit like that again." She points a slender finger in his face and he nods quickly.

She then walks to us, draping an arm over me and I laugh. The rest of their group whistles and howls at us, as Claire and Lindsey follow with giggles. "Thank you," I look up at Annie with a sweet smile and she gives me one in return.
"No one's gonna be out here messin' with my girl."

Annie's car blasts 'Alive And Kicking' the whole way back home. She drops off Lindsey on the way- who lives in a smaller house about fifteen minutes from mine. We pull up in front of my house and I hop out, "thanks again Annie."
"Anytime babe- if that boy tries anythin' again, you call us up!"

I laugh and wave as the car drives off: the music disappearing along with it. Not even twenty seconds later, I hear another car- louder- blasting 'My Generation.' No way?

It feels weird having Mike not actually flake out on me anymore- two weeks drifting apart have felt like two years. He pulls up and leans over- "hey, you!"
