Ray's POV

The movie was halfway over and it was actually pretty good. Every time something action-packed happened, Justine gripped my arm. I laughed because it was cute.

"Oh my gosh." I heard her mumble as she watched the lead character, Thomas, and the other guy whose name I forgot, run through the maze while it changed quickly. Everything was falling apart around them.

Her arm was now looped with mine, the hand to her other arm resting on my arm. She watched the screen as intently as I focused on her. I couldn't get over how beautiful she was.

I suddenly heard Jacob's voice giggling and I looked to the other side of me.

He was looking up at Chres and I could see Chresanto smiling at him. They talked quietly some more and Chresanto passed his drink to Jacob. Jacob sipped some while looking back at the movie. I saw Chresanto smile at him again, I guess he was just admiring him. I smiled. I knew Chresanto had feelings for Jacob. It was obvious, right?

Chresanto happened to look up,catching my stare. I just kept my smile and slowly turned back to the movie.

"Mm,Ray taste this." I heard Justine's sweet voice. I turned to her. She held a pack of what looked like M&Ms . I held my hand out for her to pour me a few.

The taste was sweet of course , but the inside wasn't chocolate. "Is this peanut butter ?" I asked looking down at her . She smiled and nodded.

"See." She showed the pack. Thank goodness the movie's brightness lit up the place a bit because I wouldn't be able to see anything if not. I could even see the purple in her curls. .and her beautiful face.. But let's not get sidetracked.

I nodded. "These are good."

"Hm." She offered me more.

I gladly excepted with a smile at her generosity. We continued to share the snack until it was all gone. She neatly folded the paper up and carefully placed it in her purse. But what got me was that she put it in her wallet, then purse. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion and watched as she went back to watching the movie. I wondered why she saved it in her wallet. I get that she'd put it in her purse to save to thow away but.. I guess I was over thinking it. I took a mental note to ask later.

"Oh my gosh! Why did Jacob have to die! I mean he was so close! " Jacob exclaimed as we left the dimmed theater room.

"I know right. He was trying to be a hero and should've just let that nigga die!" Chresanto agreed with a small chuckle.

Jacob laughed a little hitting Chresanto's shoulder slighty.

Justine smiled at the two as I followed behind her. I reached my hands out grabbing her sides then tickling them a little. She giggled as I stepped up to the right of her.

I smiled. "You have a cute laugh."

She smiled.

"And a beautiful smile." I added .

She just continued to smile, a soft laugh following. "Thank you." She said. 

She glanced over at Jacob and Chresanto again, who were basically wrestling each other as they walked. I laughed .

"Get him Chresanto. That's right, pull that hair!" I cheered him on.

Justine laughed. "No Jacob. Show him nobody messes with the curls. Put him in his place!"
