RELIVED {AIDAN GALLAGHER}

vii.

"Aidan?" I said,
"Yea? What about me?" He responded
"Well I thought you would look differ-"

shit, at least I caught myself In time before I blew my cover.

"nothing, sorry" I said with a little chuckle, luckily it looked like he suspected nothing.

"Ok then.. come in!" He said. I studied his face, he had a charming smile and small dimples, he looked some what like the boy from before, playing soccer. They were both pretty cute.

I looked at my phone. He was definitely the guy on my lock screen.

"Sooo, I was wondering, you wanna watch a movie?" He asked. I turned my head to meet his face, his emerald green eyes were shining in the sun. He smailed that cute smile again so I had no choice.

"Sure! Which one?" I hoped it wasn't a horror movie, I couldn't stand those.

"I was thinking a horror movie, maybe IT" he said as his face lit up.

Ah, speak of the devil. I thought to myself.

"Ok, that seems, good" I said looking down.

"You ok?" He asked as he grabbed my arm, he looked at me with those caring eyes again. God I was falling for this guy. but, I couldn't be. I can't just mess with this girls life like that.

"Yea, I'm fine." I said trying to smile and giggle, but it just came off as a weak laugh. He let go of my arm.

He led me into his basement. I tried to avoid all the furniture, it looked to expensive for me to touch, and everytime I avoided one of his expensive couches, he'd look at me funny, and raise an eyebrow. I just smiled, trying to act polite.

We got to a room in his basement with a projector screen and 2 couches, he offered me to sit down. I layed on the black leather couch and he put a blanket on me. He sat next to me and grabbed a remote, He turned the projector on and turned on the movie, but he paused it a few seconds in.

"I can't believe I forgot! I have to get popcorn, see you in a sec" he said getting up from his seat. I just stared at him, walk up those nice stairs.

I couldn't help but stare at everything, "so this is what it's like being friends with rich kids" I muttered to myself.

Aidan came down shortly after. Holding 2 bowls of popcorn, he handed one to me.

"After this we have to learn the script ok?" He said to me, almost sounding worried. What the hell was he talking about? I thought.

"Oh, um yea" I said with a fake smile plastered on my face.

He unpaused the movie and put the blanket over him just enough so I had some to.

I've seen the beginning to IT, so I knew what to expect. But even though I knew the clown would pop up, I still screamed with all my lungs.

"Woah, since when have you been scared of clowns" he scoffed and playfully punched me in the arm. I laughed and watched the movie with him.

We were maybe a few minutes in when they introduced us to Richie. He looked so familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on it. I brushed it off though.

Me and Aidan were both under our blanket after a while. Scared for our lives, he said that "I'm not scared of anything, I just want to keep you company" but we both know that's a lie.

Everytime there's a jump scare I'll jump or scream, but halfway into the movie, I've noticed that when I get scared I bury my head in to Aidan shoulder, or I grab his hand.

Bonding? I think yes.
