The awkward silence between Charlie and Juliet poked at her heart. She thought of ways to start conversation, but after the encounter they had today chances of enduring the awkwardness seemed pretty slim.
Soft music played in the background. Juliet looked over at Charles.
"Nice watch," she commented.
Charlie glimpsed at his wrist
"Thanks, it was a birthday present last year." Juliet nodded, and they were back to awkward.
She sighed and reached to turn the music a little louder. Charlie seemed to be thinking the same and their hands touched. Juliet immediately pulled her hand away and from the corner of her eye she could see Charlie smugly smiling.

Nova's POV:
"Um, play the Killers"
"The Killers?" Theo responded raising his eyebrows at me. "Nice," he faintly muttered and looked for the track on his phone.
I looked over at him.
His blonde hair swept by the wind. He wore a blue button up rolled up to his elbows.
"They said movies. You wanna go?" he asked as he glimpsed over at me.
I looked away, nodded and asked "Which one? It has to be scary"
Theo chuckled and shook his head."They were behind us let's go in and save them seats. He made a right and parked at the little local movie theater.
"Oh look they're playing the conjuring. Want to watch that?"Theo said beginning to take out his wallet and walking up to the stands.
"Sure but I'll pay" I insisted getting my money.
"It's okay I have enough."
I frowned, I knew he didn't have much money and I didn't want him to spend it on me.
I quickly paid the tickets before Theo could turn to the cashier.
"Just because I'm not rich Nova, doesn't mean I can't pay for a movie." He said walking toward the refreshments stand.
"I know, it's just I don't want you to spend money on me." I said running up to him
"It's alright, It's just a movie"Theo said looking over at me "Plus, you're worth it"
"Come on Supernova"He said as he opened the door to the theater.
It was almost empty so we had no problem finding four extra seats. We began to walk up the steps when James busted the door open.
"Hellooooo" He chanted carrying a gigantic slurpee.
He high-fived me and sat down at the very front row.
"What the hell James, who sits there?" Charlie groaned as he entered the movie theater with Juliet. He dragged her to some seats and handed her a bag of M&M's, which made Theo's eyes light up at the candy but then throw a glare at Charlie.
I couldn't helped but look back at the door, it creaked open, but instead of Liam I saw a pile of food. When I looked closely I saw Liam was being hidden by mentioned pile
He struggled to open the door, I hesitated, but still rushed to open it for him.
His head peeked out from behind a pop-corn bucket, and he gave me a crooked smile.
