Truly Charmed (Part 3/3)

Chapter 11

We waited in the line for about 10 minutes before we got to the ticket stand. Wyatt handed Pandora a twenty from the bet that he just lost. All the way through the line Wyatt and Pandora were betting on how long we were waiting. Wyatt bet 20 minutes and Pandora bet 9 minutes and 20 seconds. When we got to the ticket stand the clock read 9 minutes and 19 seconds.

It was kind of a stupid move considering he was betting against someone who can see the future.

"Don't look so smug, you didn't win technically. You said nine minutes and twenty seconds, not nine minutes and nineteen seconds." Wyatt moaned.

Pandora took the twenty from him with a smirk on her face.

"You're really going to argue with me over one second?" She asked.

"Well technically you didn't-"

"Guys!" I interrupted.

We were at the front of the line and the girl behind the glass was staring at us. Wyatt took out more money and Pandora handed him a few notes. I went to grab my money from my pocket but Wyatt just hushed my hand away.

"Three tickets for the midnight screening of Bloodlines please." Wyatt asked.

When the girl saw that Wyatt had his attention on her she began to fix herself. She had auburn hair, tied back into a ponytail, bright blue eyes and shocking red lipstick on.

She handed Wyatt the tickets and fluttered her eyelashes. She formed a sexy smile on her face. Wyatt cleared his throat, blushing and then took the tickets from her. He smiled briefly back and then quickly walked away.

Pandora and I just turned to each other with amused grins on our faces.

************************************************

Pandora was waiting for her popcorn while Wyatt and I stood on the sides. I was sipping my coke and Wyatt was chewing on sour worms.

"That girl at the ticket booth was totally flirting with you." I told Wyatt, my straw in between my teeth as I said it.

"Was she?" Wyatt asked but he didn't seem like he cared.

"Why don't you go ask her out?" I replied.

He then turned to me, one eyebrow raised and a look that said "Doubt it" on his face.

Since when do you care if I date or not?......

Wyatt's thought echoed in my head.

It's not that I care. I supposed it would be nice to see you going out with girls and talking to them, instead of being alone and waiting for the next demon to attack....

I thought.

Who said I don't talk to girls?.....

Wyatt smirked at me as he sent the thought to me.

I shifted on my feet, not knowing where to look or what to do.

I'm joking....

His voice sounded reassuring and I was sure I could sense some laughter behind it.

Don't worry about me. Besides, I'm waiting for someone.....

He thought.

I wasn't sure what to do. I didn't know if he meant me or some other girl? It was clear how he felt about me, but was I flattering myself trying to think that it was me he was referring to?

I just simply smiled back at him and then Pandora came back with a huge bucket of popcorn wrapped protectively in her arms....

************************************************

During the film I progressively got lower in my chair. Half way through the film I was practically sitting on top of Wyatt, shielding my eyes away from the poltergeist with bright yellow eyes that was in the film.

Whenever I got scared and I tensed up and scrunched my eyes so I wouldn't have to look at that thing. I occasionally felt Wyatt's hand grab mine and hold it safely. He had my head buried in his shoulder and to stop me from breaking his shoulder blade, he wrapped his arm around me.

I looked at Pandora on the other side of him and she was sitting casually, shoving five pieces of popcorn in he mouth at a time, staring up at the screen. She looked like she was watching a episode of 90210.

"Aren't you scared?!" I whispered to her.

"I'm psychic Anna..." She replied.

Oh.....

Everytime that poltergeist, monstrosity came up on the screen and everybody in the theatre screamed and Wyatt clenched me tight, Pandora would sit there and laugh and put more popcorn in her mouth.

It suddenly occurred to me that she knew exactly what was going to happen and when. She didn't flinch because she knew what was coming. She was seeing it in her head before it was happening on screen. She probably knew what this film was like, having seen it in a vision and asked me and Wyatt to go to watch squeal like pigs.

Talk about personal gain...
