"So what did Claire text you anyway?" I ask. "That's not important," he says, lowering his head. He's hiding something, but I have no idea what. "Okay.." I was going to find out, one way or another. "So I was thinking, maybe we could go see a movie tonight?" He's trying to change the subject, and I'll just go along with it for now. "Yeah, when?" "It starts at 7, so we have 45 minutes before we have to leave." I stand from the couch, and head towards his front door. "Where are you going?" "I have to get ready," I smirk and walk out the door.

"Are you finished yet? (; " Thomas texts me as I finish up my makeup. "Yeah, I'm coming down now." I write back. I grab my phone from my stand along with a $20 bill, and I run down stairs. I swing open the front door to see Thomas already waiting, hands in his pockets and his head hung low. He looks up at me, and smiles. "You look amazing." "You don't look too bad yourself." I smirk. We walk towards his bike parked in front of his house, and he climbs on first. He hands me the helmet and I strap it over my head before climbing on the bike behind him. He starts up the bike and I wrap my arms around him, and I can't help but smile. It feels good to be this close to him, even though I think he has feelings for Claire. "Hang on tight," he says pulling out of the driveway.

When we arrive at the theater, I can feel butterflies in my stomach, but it's not the good butterflies. I have a bad feeling about this, and I don't know if it's because of the idea of Thomas and I sitting side by side in the dark, or if it's something more than that. We approach the ticket booth, and pay for our tickets. Then, we buy popcorn and a drink, to share. Thomas insisted we shared, but I didn't know if I liked that idea. We walk towards the auditorium when my phone vibrates and I pull it out of my pocket. As I continue to walk, I read the message when I bump into someone, sending the drink all over me. I look up, and the rage inside of me explodes, it was Claire.
