Rachel Wells has always liked Arjun Kumar since sophomore year of high school, but always kept it to herself as he was dating another girl. Ethan Lin, one of Arjun's best friends, notices her feelings towards Arjun and befriends her, hoping to comfo...
"Liz, I'm giving you 5 more minutes. If you're not done by then, I'm leaving you behind" I yell out from the living area. I had texted Ethan that we could go to the movies and he replied that the others agreed to it. I had woken up earlier than Liz and so I was currently waiting for her. I was dressed in a white shirt, jeans and a navy blue overshirt, knowing that it might get chilly at the movies. I roll my eyes at her words, and take out my phone to look through Instagram.

"I'm done. Girl you're so dramatic" Liz replies, walking out of her room. She wore a knee length dress with minimal jewelry. "Girl, you sure you wanna wear this? It's gonna get cold in the theatre" I say, trying to warn her. "I'll be fine. If I do get cold, then oh well. Can't sacrifice fashion for comfort" she states, strutting towards the door. I sigh loudly and follow her.

We head towards the elevator and wait for a moment. "How are you and Ethan?" Liz asks with a suspiciously creepy voice. "Why are you talking like that? And what do you mean how am I and Ethan? We're friends" I reply, skeptical of her intentions. "You're in denial" she simply states, feigning a concerned look to which I slap her arm.
"I'm in reality actually. Also you're not using your psych degree properly" I comment, deliberately pissing her off. She gets defensive of her psych major and claims to be perceptive. She narrows her eyes at me and mumbles something inaudible. Just then the elevator arrives and the doors open to reveal the person we had been previously talking about.
"Ethan hi. Arjun, Mason. So nice to see you guys" I say, greeting the three, giving them a friendly smile. Liz joins me in greeting them as well. "Liz, Rachel. How've you guys been?" Mason replies excitedly, moving in to hug me and Liz. "Hey guys" Arjun adds on with a smile too. We both get onto the elevator and I end up standing next to Ethan while Liz stands on the other side next to Mason. Sensing Ethan's eyes on me, I turn to offer him a small smile, which he returns.
We end up walking to the nearest movie theater and got tickets to Inside Out 2, a movie the guys suggested. We were a few minutes early and so we decided to go into the theater and wait in our seats.
Luckily we were able to get the aisle seats, with Ethan sitting at the end and me sitting next to him. Suddenly feeling the urge to pee, I debate whether I should go now or wait a bit. I look around to see people coming in. The movie was about to start soon and I didn't want to miss the first part. Feeling a tap on my left shoulder, I turn to see Ethan staring at me, a little concerned.
