six

Monday. 6 days before we left for Christmas break.

After class, Van decided we weren't doing any course work. Instead we were going to the movies.

"What movie are going to see?" I inquired as we walked through the corridor of theatres. He smiled so I could see almost all of his teeth. "I'm not telling you." He threw some popcorn at me as we walked into theatre 6.

The previews didn't give anything away, but I wasn't expecting them to. The lights dimmed suddenly, and I was about to see what Van had gotten me into.

The opening for Mr. Popper's Penguins started playing. I turned to Van and squealed. "Van, thank you so much! You know how much I love this movie!" I whisper shouted. He chuckled, "you're welcome love."

The movie passed too quickly for my liking. Jim Carrey is my favourite actor and Van knew it. I wonder if that's why he took me.

We were exiting the theatre and that was when I realized there was no one behind us. I was puzzled.

On the bus home, Van whispered in my ear, "It was a private showing love. No one else was there."

Why would he do that?
