"Nice dancing." Luke smiled as he walked over to my bed and sat down.

"How did you get in?" I asked trying to level my breathing.

"By walking through the door." He laughed.

"You know what I mean." I rolled my eyes.

"Your mom let me in. I came to see if you were ready." He smiled and got up.

"Well as you can see I am." Gesturing to my dress.

"Okay lets go. We still have to pick up Veronica." I nodded, grabbed my phone and keys, and then I followed Luke to the living room.

"Mom, we're leaving now." I said.

"Take care of her Luke and have fun." My mom said not taking her eyes off the Tv screen. I laughed and Luke laughed along. My mom turned and looked at us, "I'm serious." We stopped laughing and basically ran out.

I walked behind Luke as he made his way down the halls of his house. He stopped in front of a blue door and knocked, Jack opened the door and grabbed his keys from a hanger behind the door. I didn't get to see much of the room but it was a mess.

"Ready to roll?" He smiled. "Let's go."

We followed behind Jack as he made his way to the car. He unlocked it and we both sat in the back. He inserted the key and started the engine. We all sat in silence as we waited for the engine to warm up.

"So are you two dating now?" Jack smirked as he looked at us through the mirror.

"What!? No." We both said in unison.

"Just asking" He put his hands up in defense. He pulled out and we were on our way to pick up Veronica.

"Hi, nice to meet you I'm Jack's girlfriend, Veronica." A average height brunette introduced herself as Jack closed the car door for her.

"Nice to meet you, too. I'm Julie, their neighbor." I smiled and buckled my seat belt again.

We made our way down the streets and since Jack had never been to the movies here, Veronica had to tell him where to go.

I have a feeling that were going take a while.

Six wrong turns and five u-turns later, we had finally arrived at the AMC theaters.

"I'm never letting you drive again." Veronica said as Jack opened her door.

"Oh shut up." Jack laughed before placing his lips on hers.

"Ugh, Come on guys" Luke groaned as he covered his face with his hands and got out of the car and I followed.

"You're just jealous Luke. When are you going to ask, Julie here, out?" Veronica laughed as they broke the kiss. Jack agreed and together they started bickering, something about setting us on a date. I looked at Luke and he looked at the floor. "You know I'm kidding. I love you Luke."

"I love you Luke." Luke mimicked her.

Jack locked the car and started walking to the entrance. Me and Luke followed in silence.

"Alright what movie do you want to watch?" Jack asked us, pointing at the list of movies that were displayed on top.

"It doesn't really matter." I said.

"Okay well you two go ahead, Veronica and I will choose the movie." Jack said looking at Veronica. Luke motioned for me to follow. I followed him inside and we sat on a bench.

"What movie did you want to watch?" I asked Luke, after sitting at the bench for like five minutes, I mean come on how long does it take to get some damn tickets. Luke looked at me, shrugged, and then took out his phone.

"We're here! Did you miss us?" Veronica laughed as they entered and headed over to us.

"I thought I was going to die without you guys." Luke rolled his eyes as we stood.

We all handed our tickets to a girl standing a bit further inside. She showed us where to go and we walked over to the food stands.

"Julie do want anything?" Jack asked me as we got to the stands. I shook my head.

"Suit yourself." Luke shrugged and ordered. "I'll get a jumbo popcorn bowl and a large soft drink".

Once we got the food, we walked to the theater room and chose seats about halfway to the top. I sat next to Luke and Veronica, who sat next to Jack.

"By the way we choose a scary movie. So, Julie if you get scared about halfway through the movie feel free to cuddle with Luke." Veronica laughed. I just looked at my hands and when I looked up Luke was glaring at Veronica and Jack.

About halfway through the movie we started throwing popcorn at each other. We ended up getting kicked out of the theater because apparently it was disturbing the others. They just don't know how to have fun. Laughing, we all climbed into the car and went to drop off Veronica.

"Bye Julie, it was fun today. Hopefully we'll do that again and see where we can get kicked out of next." Veronica joked. I think.

"Bye, Veronica and it sounds like a plan." I waved, smiling at her as she left.

"Bye Luke. See you tomorrow." Veronica said to Luke. Jack walked her to her front door, they stayed there talking for a few minutes. He's so sweet, he opens her door for her and he walks her home. I just hope someday someone can do the same for me.

"Bye Jack and bye Luke see you tomorrow." I said closing my door when Jack parked the car back on our street.

"Bye Julie." They both said at the same time. I walked down their driveway and up mine. I opened my front door and made my way to my room. The closer I got to my room the more tired I got. Everything that has happened in the last three days has finally caught up to me.
