I'm Not A Girl, I Swear [Discontinued]

VI

"Wes, you know what I just realized?" Jeff asked as soon as he walked in, pulling off his headphones.

"How did you know I came in? You weren't even looking at the door and your music is probably as high as it will go."

Jeff stuck out his hand, looking like he was concentrating. "The force."

Wes laughed. "You dork. What did you realize?"

"We have two movie nights left before Halloween, and we haven't picked out the movie for tonight yet."

"Ugh, we're going to spend all night arguing about it, aren't we?" Wes asked.

"No, which is why we need to pick right now! Where were you?"

"I was showing around the transfer, he's Sebastian's new roommate."

Jeff cocked his head to the side. "I didn't know there was a transfer. What's he like?"

"You know how humans are 60% water? I think he's 60% anxiety. I have not seen him smile once, and I've been showing him around all day."

"Ouch. Sounds like he could use a movie night."

"You know movie night can't solve everything, right?" Wes chuckled.

"Shh, it already has low self-esteem," Jeff joked, before looking serious, a rare occasion. "But seriously, I know. It's not really the movie, it's just being around other people. You don't have to talk to them, but they're there."

Wes nodded. "That... I didn't think of that. That's actually a genius idea."

Jeff grinned. "Well duh, I thought of it. And it's every Friday; a routine. You can always count on movie night."

"Yeah..." Wes hadn't really thought about how much thought Jeff had put into this before.

"But you can't have a movie night without a movie! Help me find something."

Wes sat next to him, both of them scrolling through the depths of Netflix.

"You can't go wrong with the Office," Wes said.

"Yeah you can, if you watch it on movie night." Jeff emphasized the word movie.

"Right."

They were quiet for a minute. "Heathers?"

"Ehh... I feel like Kurt would be the most excited about that."

"GBF?"

"Yeah, let's watch a movie that pretty much stereotypes gay people the entire time with a bunch of gay people."

"But it's funny."

"Someone's gonna take offense from it."

"Fine... but I'm putting it on the list."

"We could just listen to John Mulaney's special."

"Amazing idea, technically not a movie."

"Black Mirror?"

"Not a movie."

"To The Bone? What's that?" Jeff asked, the cover catching his eye.

They read the description in silence. "I can't tell if that sounds really good or really bad," Wes said.

"Trailer?"

"Trailer."

After watching the trailer, Wes spoke up again. "I think it sounds good."

"Yeah, just..." Jeff bit his lip. "It's centered around a girl with anorexia. Couldn't that be kinda..."

"Triggering?" Wes finished. He nodded. "I see your point, but have any of us had anorexia? Like, it could be triggering for some people, but us specifically?"
