(Wyatt's pov)
I'm slightly let down at first that he's not looking at me like that, but then the girl gets up and leaves the big room and he's still staring in my direction.

I turn completely towards him and softly smile. He shakes his head and looks down.

"Sorry...I just..."

"It's okay." I reassure him. He smiles and I see a pink tint cover his cheeks.

The first movie starts and I just try to focus on the screen. I'm trying to forget what happened and how cliché it all was. I probably sounded like an idiot.

During one of the boring parts of the movie, Jaeden whispers to me and asks if I want to get a drink or something. I get up with him and quietly shuffle to the isle and we leave the room. I make small talk and start rambling on about the logic of the movie. We get to the snack bar with all the classic over priced items.

"Wow, I was gonna get an ICEE, but it's seven dollars!" I said.

"Well, we could share one. I mean... only if you want to." He says with a regretful tone. We decide on just sharing one. The employee hands Jaeden the drink with only one straw.

"Umm, can we please get another straw?" Jaeden asks politely.

"Why? Is something wrong with that one?" The man behind the counter sasses at us.

"No, it's just, we're..." Jaeden begins before I interrupt him.

"We're sharing."

"Oh... in that case... no!" The man angrily responds.

"W-why?" Jaeden asks.

"Well, don't ya boys think that's kinda gay?" The man asks Jaeden and I looking at us intensely.

"Well wouldn't it be even more gay to share a straw?" I snap back at him.

"Good point." The man responds handing Jaeden another straw. We walk away in silence due to the awkwardness of the situation when Jaeden speaks up.

"Damn, all we wanted was an ICEE."
