I thought that the tickets were for 9:00, but apparently they are for 8:00.

Its 7:33.

"Well we better get going if you want to see the movie." he tells me "it won't take too long to get there."

I'm about to nod but i feel like that is always my response so i reply with an okay.

Lucky for me I brought a light jacket to school because it is indeed raining hard outside.

Lucas is still wearing his school clothes. Just a light blue and white flannel with black jeans underneath.

As casual as it is, i must say he is indeed well dressed compared to the other boys I see around here.

He breaks my thoughts, "the movies are only like one song away. I will let you have aux as long as it matches rain."

Thats literally so cute.

I feel like I have to play a love song, but which one?

We walk out the house and he leads me outside to his car. He makes sure to be at every door before me just so he can hold it for me.

Thats bottom standard and the least you can do but it still makes me soft.

We get in the car and I connect my phone. The song already about to play is too young by louis Tomlinson.

That is perfect, but I must have been listening to my love playlist.

I play the song and rather he knows it or not its still going to be special.

'We were too young to know we had everything
Too young
I wish i could have seen it all along
Im sorry that i hurt you darling."

I hum to the lyrics that connect to me in a way that i don't quite understand.

'Face to face at the kitchen table
This is everything ive waited for
Now we can finally have a conversation
That i wish we could have had before'

The rest of the song plays and i mouth the lyrics without realizing i am. This is because im not actually paying attention to the song, because im looking at him.

The song ends just as he is about to get into the parking lot, so i disconnect my phone from the speaker.

He finds a place as close to the building as possible to park, and in his luck he finds something pretty fast.

He gets out the car first and makes sure he can open the car door for me.

The glorious bare minimum no other men do these days.

Love is so dead.

We walk together in the rain, his face red and his eyes glowing.

We enter the theater, the smell of popcorn butter in my nose every time i breathe in.

He walks in front of me and looks at me every now and then to make sure im still behind him.

We arrive to the snack counter and i see a familiar face.

"Mr martel?" me and lucas both say at the same time.

He gives us an awkward smile.

"Hello you two. Would you like anything to drink? Soda?"

We look at each other, nod, and look back at him.

"Sprite" we say it in sync.

Do our hearts beat in sync just as much as our voices?

"Well i guess we will take two small sprites then" i tell my old middle school teacher.

"Yeah okay, one large sprite with two straws coming right up. Want popcorn or candy?"

Lucas smirks at mr martels decision and we both agree we just want popcorn.

It will mostly be for him because im not the biggest fan of popcorn.

We get our popcorn and drink and head to the theater seats.

Im having a great time.
