Rafe awkwardly takes a step back from me creating distant between us before running his fingers through his hair, the fingers that were just entwined with mine, and scratching the back of his neck nervously; it was very rare you see Rafe nervous. He's the first to break the silence. "So what did Reggie have to say?"

"He called me attractive and technically called my brother ugly. Then he invited me to his party tomorrow." I shrug nonchalantly.

His eyes snap up at the mention of his party. "You're not going are you?"

I narrow my eyes on him curious as to why he cares if I go to Reggie's party or not. "I haven't decided yet."

"Reggie's parties are always lame, I wouldn't bother going."

I stare up at him inquisitively. "Are you going?"

His eyes meet mine. He hesitates before shaking his head. "Me? Nah I aren't gonna bother." He assures me but something tells me he isn't telling the truth.

We find ourselves at the front of the queue. Rafe orders a beer and a cider. After paying, he hands me the cider. "Thankyou." I smile at him gratefully, sipping my drink.

We both start heading towards my brother and his friends. The film has just started and people are taking their seats as the sky begins to darken.

I notice Sarah in this distance standing alone. I tap Rafe's arm and he stops to turn to me. "I'm just going over to Sarah." I notify him. He nods before continuing walking over to join his friends.

"Why you stood alone?" She jumps at the sound of my voice but lets out a breath of relief when she realises it's just me.

"Me and Topper had an argument." She rolls her eyes after mentioning my brothers name.

I roll my eyes after the word argument. "What about now?" I scoff, surprised there's anything else left for these two to argue about.

"Well Topper left to get us both a drink and then John B-"

I immediately interrupt. "John B again!" I can't help but yell. "He just does not give up!"

Sarah nods in agreement. "John B came over to speak to me and then he walked away and obviously Topper saw and assumed the worst which ended up in us two arguing."

We both suddenly hear someone yell in the distance. The yell sounded familiar to me. My eyes dart over to where the Pogues where stood not long ago. None of them to be seen. Me and Sarah dart our eyes to where our spot is but the spot is covered with empty blankets. We snap to look at each other when we hear the yelling again. We race towards it and discover it is coming from behind the movie screen.
