The Teenage War

Chapter 3 ~ The Date

When we got to the movie theater, I was greeted by 5 screaming boys outside my window. I rolled it down then asked "Why couldn't you guys have waited for us to get up there?"

"Because I love you so much!" Taylor replied.

"Oh really? So much that you will buy all of my friends everything they want at the movie?"

"Okay, maybe not that much."

"I thought so."

We walked up to the ticket booth and about ten steps away from it, Taylor blindfolded me. The other boys must have done the same, because all of us girls yelled, "Hey!"

"We guys are going to choose the movie this time. You won't know until we get inside," Taylor said. "Boys, take them inside!"

"Over my dead body," I said, but was quickly lifted over Calub's shoulder.

"Put me down!" I screamed playfully while hitting Calub's back.

After what seemed like forever, he set me down in the concession stand line.

"What do you want?" Taylor asked.

"A large popcorn, a large sprite and a box of cookie dough bites."

"Gosh, you eat a lot!"

"Well, you're paying!" I said cheerfully.

After we got the food, we were blindfolded again until we were inside the movie room. Turns out, we were the only ones there.

As the movie started, I realized we were watching Carrie, the new horror movie.

I knew exactly why he chose that movie. He knows that I hate scary things and I'll cuddle with him.

I literally cried the whole entire time. "I hate you so much right now," I told Taylor.

"I'll always love you," he responded.

He pecked my lips and I blushed. As we started walking to the car, I heard a tiny whimpering outside the theater.

I looked and saw a child no older than five standing outside the theater.

"Taylor," I gasped in fright.

I ran over to the child and asked the girl her name and age.

"My name is Carlisle Addison Giadrosich and I am this many." She held up three fingers.

"Where is your mommy and daddy?" I asked.

"They just left me here."

I silently gasped. "Will you come with me?"

She nodded and I took her hand. "Everyone this is Carlisle," I said.

As if it was right on que, I picked her up and we walked to the car. Since there is only five seats in my car, I rode home with Taylor.

Suddenly, he asked, "Do you think your parents will let you keep her?"

"I don't know. But I'm going to try."

We reached my house and he let me out. Then, we said our goodbyes and I went inside.
