Chapter Eight
After I get home from school on friday I rush to finish my homework then I hop in the shower. When I get out I blow dry my hair upside down to add some volume and then once it's dry, I squirt in some sea salt spray to add texture. I apply some natural makeup and then walk back from the bathroom to my bedroom.
" Going somewhere?" I turn around and see Lucie leaning against the doorway of her room with her arms crossed against her chest.
" Yeah, I am" I say continuing towards my room. Lucie follows me. She walks past me and opens my closet doors.
" Fancy or Casual?" Lucie says looking through all my clothes. " I mean you are going on a date tonight, aren't you?" She pauses for a second. " You've got that look in your eyes"
" Why do you suddenly care?" I snap back at her.
" I'm suprised Savannah isn't over, knowing you two, she would be all over helping you get ready" She grabs a white lace tank from my closet " Here" She says throwing it on the bed.
" She had a family dinner" I mutter looking at the lace tank top. Lucie pulls out a light blue denim shirt, leggings, and a necklace.
" Casual enough for anything, but if it's a little fancier take off the denim shirt and you'll be good"
I want to scoff at the outfitt, not because I don't like it, cause I really like it, but because of her sudden unexplained kindness towards me.
" What about shoes?" I ask her.
She walks outside my room and across the hall to her room. About minute later she comes back with black leather ankle boots with a thick heel. " You're letting me wear your shoes?!" I ask. One thing I know for sure is my sister loves shoes, and I am never allowed to borrow them.
" They're a super late apology. I'm sorry, I haven't been the best sister. A lot has been going on lately"
" Do you want to talk about it?" I ask
" No!" She snaps back at me. " Sorry, it's just- nothing"
" Okay.." I say lost for words. So there's a lot going on, but it's nothing. What is she hiding? Oooo what if she's pregnant? I wish. She's so overly prepared if she was preganant it would be on purpose.I would be shocked if she had a kid on accident.
Why am I thinking about ths?
" Adeline?!" Lucie snaps her fingers infront of my face " What were you thinking about?"
You being pregnant..." Nothing"
" Go get changed he'll be here soon" She says throwing the clothes at me.
" Um this is my room" I flick my hand at her signaling her to leave. She rolls her eyes and leaves closing the door behind her. I quickly get changed and stand in front of my full length mirror. Here goes nothing.. or everything I still haven't decided yet.
I look out the window and see Colton's car. I'm not sure if he's going to come up to the door or not. The guys do that in movies right? I wait a little bit until I get a text from him saying he's outside. I grab my purse and walk outside to his car. I look inside the window and see him on his phone, he suddenly looks up and smiles at me.
I open the car and hop into the passenger seat. " You look really pretty" Colton says to me.
" Thanks, you look pretty handsome yourself" I say buckling in my seatbelt. " So, where are we going?"
" I was thinking a movie" He says keeping his eyes on the road. That's it? I want to slap myself for thinking that. " You like movies right?"
" Yeah! Of course. I love movies" I say plastering smile on my face. I don't feel as excited as I was, but then he smiles and me and I get these butterflys flapping aorund in my stomach.
Once we arrive at the theater I look up at the ticket booth and see that Catching Fire is still playing. I went to the midnight premier with Savannah and was not dissapointed! I love when movies are just like the books!
" Anything you see that catches your eye?" Colton asks me.
"Umm have you seen Catching Fire?" I ask
" Hunger Games 2?"
" Catching Fire" I say trying to keep my fangirl side controlled.
" Do you want to see that one?" He asks me. I nodd and we go up to the ticket booth and buy the tickets. Then we buy popcorn and a sourpatch kids. As I'm walking to the theather I see Michael with some other guys. Oh no.
" Adeline!!" Michael says rushing over to me.
" Hey!" I say waving and not really knowing what to do. "Oh! Michael this is Colton, Colton this is Michael" They akwardly smile at eachother.
" We've met" Colton says with an edge to his tone. Where did that come from?
" Well.. I guess I should get going then, see you later Adeline" Michael says, walking away pulling out his phone to text someone.
" How do you know him?" Colton asks me as we walk into the theater.
" Friend of a friend, Why do you ask?" I ask. Colton just shakes his head. Finally we take our seats, and the lights go dim, and finally I am 100% captured into the Hunger Games world.

The answer is yes. Yes, the movie is still amazing the fourth time. Colton and I are now leaving the theater and starting to walk around town. " So do you want Katniss to end up with Peeta or Gale?" I ask him.
" That stuff is kinda of stupid isn't it?" He says.
" Shipping?"
" What?"
" Nothing. You're right it is pretty stupid"
We start to walk past the park and I feel Colton to reach for my hand. He holds it and I let him. It's comforting, feels good.
The park is freezing cold and it leaves a brisk edge to the air. It's beautiful. The trees are covered in frost and the grass's tips are white.
The pace of our walking starts to slow down. He looks down at me and places his lips against mine.
We both pull away and look each other in the eyes. " I'd like to see you again" He says to me.
" I'd like that too" I reply. He goes back in for another kiss and I don't hesistate to give it to him. We break away once again and start walkng back to his car.
" Adeline?" I turn around at the sound of my name and see Luke standing there. He walks over to us.
" What are you doing here?" I ask Luke.
" Just meeting Michael" He replys. " Am I.. um.. interupting somthing?" He asks. I'm about to say no before I'm cut off by Colton saying yes. " Well i'll leave you to it then" Luke says walking of.
Colton and I start to walk back to his car. As I am opening the door to get into the car, I look back and see Luke looking at me. Once our eyes meet he quickly looks away and I'm left looking at where his shadow used to be.
