"Girl where are you? The movie starts in five minutes. We still have to get popcorn and stuff." Janell blares through my car speakers, I have her bluetooth so I can talk and drive freely.

"Janell, chill. I'm parking now. Just stand outside so I can find you."

"Bet." She hangs up and I turn off my car engine. I start to fix my hair when I hear giggling.

"What's so funny?" I ask my passenger.

"Trying to look cute for your boo thang?" I roll my eyes playfully.

"No Amari. Can't I look good for me?"

"Ooh, she's conceited."

I laugh at her wrong impression of me. "Nope but let's go before she calls me again." We get out the car and make our way to the cinema.

Janell spots me instantly. "Finally! You made it- um who is she?" She said appointing her attention towards Amari.

"Janell this Amari." I introduce her.

"You look familiar." Janell squints at her. After a few moments, I can see recognition starting hit Janell. "The mall." Amari smiles politely and nods to confirms Janell's response.

"So what are we watching?" Amari asks.

"New It movie. Part two." Janell grumbles. She grabs my arm and excuses us from Amari's hearing range. "Naomi, why is she here?"

I pull away gently, "is that a problem?"

She is visibly irritated and I don't care. "I thought this was supposed to be just us. Is she your body guard or something?" She looks down at me.

"Something like that." I feel a hand touch my lower back gently and jump a little at the sudden contact. I turn my head to find a smiling Amari. She knows what she is doing and it is working like a charm. Janell is probably furious.

"Baby, I got our tickets. Janice did I need to buy yours too?" I tried not to laugh but I couldn't help but giggle a little. Who is Janice?

"It's Janell and no I can buy my own." Janell retorted clearly irritated with Amari's antics.

Amari furrowed eyebrows like she was thinking. "Right, well Naomi let's get snacks. We can meet up outside the movie. Cool?"

Janell doesn't respond but walks away. Amari grabs my hand and leads me to the concession stand. We grab popcorn and drinks.

Not seeing Janell yet, we stroll towards theater 7 and wait outside. "So I guess she is pissed." Amari says breaking the comfortable silence.

"Oh yeah, I haven't seen her this mad before but she will be okay." She laughs then sips her drink. "Speaking of the devil." Janell comes into view and walks pass us. Amari catches the door and holds it open for me. I thank her kindly and follow Janell.

"Naomi, do you want to sit up top? I see four empty spots at the end."

"Yeah that's perfect." Getting to the top, she skips the first available seat and plops down. She looks at me and pats the empty chair for me sit. I feel Amari nudge me to keep walking. I take the seat on the other side of Janell and sit. Janell frowns a little when she see's Amari grab the corner spot.

We get settled then Janell taps me. "If you get scared, you can cuddle up next to me." She winks and bounces her eyebrows up and down playfully.

I frown, "that's not very friend like."

"I'm just playing Naomi. Dang chill." She laughs.

I sit back and cross my arms. The lights dim and the theater goes silent. The movie has started.
