"New Book, Who Dis"

The First Chapter: How You Meet

⟨Tony Stark⟩

Clouds are covering the blue sky. Some birds are chirping, over all it seems like a pretty decent day. The one thing you hate about it is 

Everyone.

Your three year, crap ass, nasty genital infection of a boyfriend broke up with you (a month ago) and the sun hasn't come out of its hiding place since. Your plan was to wear nothing but hoodies and sweats and never wash your hair again, but all of the hoodies in your closet were his. So you burned them, naturally. And for the hair... that's disgusting.

Grey clouds, grey outfit, you began to wonder if perhaps you had turned into a dog with all the grayness. At least as a dog you could bite your ex in his micropenis and get away with it. But here you were, pondering about what movie you should see, obviously nothing romantic or humorous.
You reached the cinema and the person behind the counter stink-eyed your clothes. ''What's it going to be?'' The girl asked in her most bored voice. Perhaps she wished she was in the movies playing here, instead of selling tickets for them. ''Surprise me.'' You said, the girl seemed rather startled before handing you a piece of paper. ''Enjoy.'' She said. You looked at your ticket and saw she had given you one to a horror movie. Usually you would politely decline, but since the cinema was only playing comedies and romantic nutbusters, this seemed like the most appropriate for your current mood. You bought a large popcorn, throwing away half your life savings, before heading to the room the movie would be showed in.

You sat down all the way in the back and put your popcorn down next to you. It would be a couple minutes until the movie would begin. People wandered in slowly, no one bothered to look at you. People came in alone, like you, or with their buddies, or with their significant other. Yuck. There was one man, however, that came in alone. But he didn't look like he was supposed to be alone. In an expensive looking suit and with the weirdest beard ever. The strangest thing was however, his sunglasses? Who wears sunglasses inside a movie theater? Just for that you wanted to punch the guy, but nowadays you wanted to punch everyone. He walked up and sat down three chairs away from you. You narrowed your eyes at the guy, but he didn't seem to notice you.
The lights slowly faded to black and you focused on the screen. A couple of ads showed and some previews to other movies that were going to be released soon, and then the movie started.

About half an hour and three gruesome deaths later, you heard some rustling next to you. You looked and the man had sat down next to your popcorn and was happily eating from it. ''Excuse me?'' You asked, and he had the balls to look you in the face and shush you, before turning back to the screen. You grabbed your popcorn and put it down on your lap.
The man then got up, sat down next to you, and stuck his band down the popcorn again. "Dude! I paid for this!" You said, earning a shush from the guy a couple rows down. "Yeah, shush, lady." The man said and one of the corners of his mouth curled up. He was still wearing the awful sunglasses.

You got up and left the theater. Who in the hell does that guy think he is? As you sat down on a bench outside the cinema you wondered if anyone had ever been prosecuted for stealing someone's popcorn. Someone must have been, it is an absolute crime against your stomach!
A couple of minutes later the guy came walking out, you watched him through the corner of your eye and imagined how terrible he would look in an orange jumpsuit. Super terrible, he wouldn't be allowed to wear those sunglasses either. Dickhead. While you glared at him, a shiny, black car stopped in front of him and some dude came out and opened the door for him. He sat down, but before closing the door leaned half out of the car and turned towards you.

''You know, if you need a ride I'd be happy to give you one. A favor, for the popcorn.'' He said.

''Sorry,'' You said as you got up. ''I'm allergic to assholes.''
