Constellations

eight

        My insides were literally going to burst. I am not sure if i am  on top of the world or if I am going to be sick.

Austin padded behind me as we walked to the theatre downstairs. I sat him down in front of the wide variety of movies that i had and told him to pick one while i went upstairs to make some food.

I peeled off the plastic rapping on the microwave popcorn and put it into the microwave. I searched the cupboards for a good sized bowl for the popcorn.

I can not believe that Austin is in my house and that we are going to watch a movie. Alone. Together.

My phone buzzed in my back pocket. It was Charlie. "Hey wanna hang out????"

oops. I think  I told charlie that we were going to hang out. t his not going to end well.

"I don't think I can today I have a lot of homework srry :/" I hated lying to him it was for his own good. Kind of. Okay if was only for my good but whatever.

My phone buzzed on the counter top.

"Too bad I just pulled in your driveway. Why is there another car in your driveway?"

Oh no this was not good.

I heard the front door open and I saw Charlie walk through the door. He had his eyebrow raised and a smirk on his face.

"Who is parked in your driveway?"

"I have no clue it must be a stranger going to the neighbors house" I lied.

"Oh that explains it" he said nodding off his worries. That's when the crap hit the fan. I heard footsteps come up the stairs. "Hey Aspen whats taking you so long?" Austin said as he turned his eyes locked on Charlies.

Oh crap.

If I wasn't just about to get reprimanded by Charlie I would have found the look on Austin's face highly amusing. He looked like a deer caught in the headlights of a semi-truck.

The two boys held their stare for what seemed like a century.

"Care to fill me in on why Austin is at your house Aspen?" Charlie said with his grown up voice. To you that me not seem like a bid deal. Charlie never uses his grown up voice. The last time I heard him use his grown up voice is when I broke his Game-boy in the sixth grade because I couldn't pass a level on Mario.

" We were going to watch a movie... want to join us?"

"Yeah. We will meet you downstairs Austin."

Austin looked at me and gave me a sympathetic smile and practically ran down the stairs. So much for him being my knight and shining armor.

Charlie gave me an unsettling  glare

"let me explain.."

"I am listening"

" Austin came over to see the magazine article about the plane crash because his birth parents were on that plane too and he wanted to figure out what really happened and so i told him everything that I know about it and then he was about to leave I invited him over to watch a movie because I think I like him Charlie. And then he said he would like that so when you texted me I just thought I would be easier to explain some other time and so I just lied and said I was doing home work. I am so sorry!"

"Okay. I dont appriciate that you lied to me and if you ever do it again I will cut your balls off but since you like this kid I will let it slide this time."

I rolled my eyes he was such an overprotecting dad.

"but I am still watching the movie with you guys"

I knew I wasn't going to get away with it that easily.

I pulled the popcorn out of the microwave and put it into the plastic bowl and sent Charlie off to go get some sodas out of the cupboard.

We headed down stairs and went into the theatre. "So what movie did you pick?" I asked Austin. He turned around and held up Napoleon Dynamite. I grinned I love this movie with all of my heart and soul and have watched it at least 300 times.

Charlie groaned "Really this one?" he whined. Austin was quick to reply " I can pick a different one if you want."

"Nooooooo Charlie can we please please please watch it???" I pleaded like a three year old child.

"Fine we can watch it"

I sat down on the couch and got comfy. Austin came and sat next to me which made me smile to myself. Well until Charlie came and sat in between us squishing me up against the arm rest. He stretched his arms out behind him and wrapped them around Austin and I's shoulders.

Oh well at least we are watching Napoleon Dynamite.
