chapter four : movie night

Amelie's pov

We've been in school for a little over a month now, and our group has grown pretty close. Our study hall has turned into daily therapy sessions. We all decided to go to see a movie tonight.

Finn and I have been getting close again as well. We tell each other everything.

        I think.

Me, Isobel, Logan, and Evelyn all pile into my car and drive to the theater to meet the boys.

"Hey ladies," JJ smirks at us as we walk in. "Hello, Isobel."

"Hello James"

"Get a room" Michael laughs. JJ slaps his chest.

"So who's sitting where?" Isobel asks. Logan begins looking back and forth between me and Finn. I look over to see his expression. When he realizes I'm looking at him, his eyes widen.

Finn's pov

     I don't think I got the memo. I wasn't really paying attention to the conversation. I was busy thinking about... someone. But I look up to see Logan aggressively shaking her head looking back and forth between me and Ame.

"Uh, did I miss something?"

"Ugh," Logan says, then begins to explain the seating arrangement.

"JJ will sit by Finn, Finn will sit by Amelie, Amelie will sit by me, I'll sit by Michael, Michael sits by Evelyn, and Evelyn sits by Bella. Clear?"

"Why do I have to sit on the end?" complains Isobel.

"Yeah, and why do I have to sit furthest away from Isobel?" JJ argues.

"Stop acting like children and just do it." Logan demands eyeing them both. I always knew she was the "mom" of her friend groups. I was just glad she picked up on something, whatever it was, and put me next to Amelie.

We bought our tickets and headed into the theater. We ordered popcorn and some drinks and watched the credits.

"So, do you like scary movies, Amelie?" Logan asked her. I knew what she was doing, but I wasn't going to interfere.

"Yeah actually, I really like them" Well shit.

"How about you Finn?"

"Yeah, I like them," I actually loved them. Except for the ones that revolved around trauma. I couldn't stand those. Most of the time, they don't even portray it correctly.

     I mean, I wouldn't know I guess. It just doesn't feel right...

Amelies's pov

The movie was about to start. The one we were watching had been out for a few weeks now so barely anyone was in the theater besides us. So we just ate our snacks and talked, barely paying attention to the movie. It looked boring anyway.

"So Amelie," JJ started, "Has Isobel said anything about me recently?" he says with a smirk.

"No," I reply. Harsh, I thought. "Sorry JJ, but hey she doesn't tell me everything."

"It's cool," He says, but I can tell he doesn't mean it.

     We fall silent for a moment. I notice Michael, Evelyn, and Bella are having their own side conversation.

     I suddenly feel something hit the side of my head.
"Hey!" I said, probably a little too loudly. I caught Finn laughing, trying not to look at me. I grabbed a piece of popcorn and threw it at the back of his head.

"Ow!" he jumped, still laughing.

"Oh come on, it was a piece of popcorn." Logan
exclaimed, "Ow!" she pouted as a piece hit her.

"Oh come on, it was just a piece of popcorn!" JJ mocked.

It escalated to the four of us playing dodgeball with the popcorn and other snacks. The whole movie we just teased each other while the rest of the people in the theater, besides Michael, Evelyn, and Isobel, got annoyed with us and gave us dirty looks every now and then. I didn't really care though, I was having a good time.

The movie ended. We tried to clean up our mess and started walking out.

"We should really do this more often," JJ stated. We all agreed. We spent some extra time in the lobby at the theater to talk and hang out a bit longer.

"This was a lot of fun, I had a great time." Finn said to the whole group but made eye contact with only me. We were making hard eye contact for a moment, but none of the group really seemed to notice. They just kept talking. I won't deny, recently I've been feeling something for him. I don't know what it is, but something.

After a few seconds of staring, he turns his head to the side and lets out a small laugh. God, it was cute.

"What's funny?" Michael questions.

"Nothing, carry on," Finn says. I roll my eyes and smile at him. He sees this and smiles back.

A few minutes later we decide to head home. We say goodbye to everyone and pile back into the car. What a night.
