ch. 20

okay so i've decided that the emotional chapter might be on chapter 22.

recap: jaeden swallowed, unable to move. all he managed to get out was, "you're really good at drawing birds."

wyatt chuckled nervously. "thanks? how do you know, anyway?"

"i sorta glued the pieces of paper you ripped up together..." jaeden said, looking down as he shuffled his feet.

"wait, so it was you at the park today?"

jaeden nodded, making eye-contact with him. "um, what did gaten say to you?"

wyatt went to speak, but was cut off by sophia. "samantha!"

the two boys paid their attention to the girls who gave each other a long-lasting hug. when they pulled apart, they stared at each other for a moment, then giggled.

jaeden smiled to himself. he loved seeing sophia like this.

he approached the two girls, and faced samantha. "i'm jaeden, sophia's friend. it's nice to finally meet you."

sam looked at sophia, raising her eyebrows, then mouthed, "he's cute."

sophia burst into laughter. "i know."

jaeden was confused.

"anyway, nice to meet you too, jaeden. i'm sam." she smiled sweetly at him, shaking his hand.

"trust me, i know." jaeden looked at sophia with a smirk. "soph talks a lot about you."

"i do not." sophia protested, blushing as she crossed her arms, glaring daggers at her guy friend.

"she does." jaeden shrugged.

sophia rolled her eyes. "well, excuse jaeden. that's wyatt, a friend of his."

sam looked over at wyatt, who was a little distance from them. he stood there awkwardly, staring at his shoes.

"wyatt, come over here." sophia called.

he looked up, noticing everyone was staring at him. he slowly walked towards them.

"i'm sam." sam held out her hand.

wyatt shook it. "wyatt."

sophia took in a deep breath and let it out, smiling at everyone. "well, what are we waiting for? let's go buy some popcorn and drinks and watch this badass movie."

they followed sophia over to the counter. a boy, probably in his early twenties, smiled at them. "hello, what are you watching?"

"predator. 4 tickets, please."

"any snacks with that, miss?"

"yes." she looked at her 3 friends. "2 large popcorns and 4 large drinks. i'll grab a pepsi. what do you guys want?"

jaeden answered first. "lemonade will be fine."

"i'll grab a fanta." sam grinned.

"um, i'll have the same as jaeden. a lemonade, thanks." wyatt smiled thankfully at sophia.

"that'll be $34.75. anything else today?"

"no, thank you."

the boy filled up the drinks and popcorn, handing them over to them after sophia paid. she thanked him.

they nearly walked away, until the boy called out. "you forgot your tickets!"

embarrassed, jaeden quickly returned to the counter. he gave an anxious smile at the attractive boy and grabbed the tickets. "thank you."
