"Okay dorks. What movie do you wanna watch?" Martha asked the group.

Both Zac and Chloe's groups of friends were hanging out in Naomi's house for a movie night. More than half of the school was at one of Emmit Baxter's party but they wanted a quiet night instead.

"It!" Samar yelled.

"There's no way in hell that we're watching that movie." Martha groaned.

"Okay, let's watch a cartoon. Maybe.....a Disney movie?" Zac asked.

"No way man!" Phoebe yelled.

"Okay, let's watch an old movie like jaws." Zac suggested.

"You know what McGregor? That's actually not a bad idea." Martha smiled. "I didn't think you had it in you."

"Okay, then let me set it up. Naomi would you two hurry up with the popcorn!" Martha yelled for her cousin who was making popcorn with Zoe in the kitchen.

"We're coming! Hold your horses!" Naomi yelled back.

After a few minutes Zoe and Naomi came into the living room with four bowls of popcorn.

"Markus can you and Samar make yourselves useful and get the rest of the snacks and drinks?" Zoe asked as she put the popcorn down.

They had moved the coffee table and couch from the living room and had blankets and pillows instead.

"Make it quick or else we'll start the movie without you." Aliyah instructed.

"Oh please. You and I both know that you wouldn't start watching that movie without me cuddling you." Markus gave her a smug look.

"Oh just go get the snacks." Aliyah rolled her eyes.

Once they got back they all started their movie. They made fun of how not scary the movie actually was. Naomi couldn't stop smiling at her cousin who was blushing at Samar's dumb comments even if she was adamantly denying it.

Naomi knew Martha like the back of her hand. Most people wouldn't notice that Martha was blushing because she was very good at hiding it. Naomi on the other hand could see the soft pink on her cheeks from a mile away.

"Hey Samar can you pass me the popcorn bowl?" Naomi asked her lips dawning a mischievous smile that went unnoticed by the boy.

"Sure thing." Samar smiled reaching for the bowl which called for his lips to be mere centimeters away from Martha's cheek.

"Here you go." Samar smiled handing Naomi the bowl.

"Thank you." Naomi thanked Samar yet she was smirking at Martha who mouthed 'I hate you.' to her cousin.

"Okay, so what are we watching after Jaws?" Samar asked not noticing the exchange between the two brunettes.

"You know what, I've had a change of heart. We should watch It." Martha smirked as Naomi's eyes went wide.

"I don't-"

"Yeah, we can watch both of the movies." Zac said enthusiastically not noticing that he cut Naomi off.

"Damn you Zachary." Naomi whispered under her breath.

"It's okay, I got you." Zoe whispered in Naomi's ear.

"Okay then we agree. We're watching It. My favorite clown movie." Martha smirked at her cousin who glared at her and mouthed 'I hate you.'

"I'm gonna go make us some more popcorn." Toby said grabbing two of the bowls as he went to the kitchen.
