Context:

Milly's third-wheeling Luke and Zander's movie date. (Public cinema) 👍

🩷 Milly's POV:

(These two are PDA magnets. IT'S BURNING MY EYESSSSS!!!!!! Can't I watch my movie in peace without them being all "lovey-dovey" for ONE MINUTE!? They're seriously hurting my street cred. Wait, no-one I know is here, right?) *Turns around*

(NOOOO!! LITERALLY EVERYONE I KNOW IS HERE. I HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE- NOW! BUT HOW!? Hrm....... Ah, of course! Popcorn. The solution to all my problems.)

No-one's POV:

Milly "accidentally" flung her popcorn all over Luke and herself. (It was caramel covered and very sticky.) "Oh no! My bad, guys!! Can you come with me to clean up the popcorn and buy me another one?? OK, GREAT! Thanks, guys!" Milly insisted, tugging both of them out of the cinema. "HEY! What are you doing!?" Zander yelled, still being dragged. "SHUSH, ZANDER, PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO WATCH THE MOVIE!" Milly replied. "BUT YOU'RE THE ONE WHO-" Zander tried to argue, giving up halfway through. When they got outside, Milly let out a sigh of relief and released her grip on them. Luke fell flat faced onto the floor, while Zander brushed himself off, trying to contemplate what the heck had just happened. Milly helped Luke up and gave him a sympathetic pat on the back. She knew she'd got unwanted attention when she dragged them out of the cinema, but Milly didn't want people thinking she was an immature third wheel. Plus, it was for their sake too; she couldn't imagine how many people would bully or tease them for doing romantic things or generally being in love. In an unfriendly way, that is. Although, the only bullying she'd witnessed was an old classmate of hers who said; "That's gay." and got a fist to the face soon after. Call it overreacting, but she was proud of it.

"What are you doing!?" Zander asked in a frustrated tone. "I already told you; I dropped my popcorn, and I need you guys to come with me to get another one and clean ourselves up." Milly replied. "It seemed more like you threw the popcorn, Milly." Luke said. "HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE ME OF SUCH THINGS!" Milly gasped, clearly offended. "Look, you and Luke can go clean the mess off of yourselves, I'll get you another popcorn, okay?" Zander shrugged. "Thanks, I'll pay you back. Eventually-" Milly replied. "Damn right, you will." Zander said whilst pulling out his wallet. Luke turned towards Milly. "Since I can't come with you to the girls toilets, meet me back here in 10ish. Text me if you need longer." Luke said, quickly examining his shirt for caramel stains whilst walking towards the boys toilets. "Yup, sounds good." Milly agreed, though she wasn't really concerned about the stains.

Milly entered the bathroom, looked into the mirror and started licking off the caramel stains on her jacket. It took her about 3 minutes to get rid of them all, and luckily no-one had come into the toilet during that time. She couldn't imagine how weird she looked literally sucking on her clothes, but she wasn't about to let her caramel popcorn go to waste. They costed more than regular popcorn, and her parents barely let her get it because it was a "waste of money" and that regular popcorn "tastes the same" not that their recommendations stopped her at all. In this case, the caramel had come in handy for an excuse to leave the cinema. Soon enough she was done getting rid of the food stains and went back to the lobby area of the cinema.
