chick flick. That makes me so angry sometimes. How come there’s no name for a guy movie? Did you ever wonder about that? It’s very enraging, isn’t it? Since guys have no name for the movies they watch, blood and guts with no plot, I’ll name them Hick Picks. Take that, guys! I can just hear myself laughing evilly. Can’t you? Oh well, let me start telling you about the girl’s night out. I also have to tell you right before I start that don’t you find it interesting that Lena seems to be everywhere that I am? It’s like some sick twist of fate. Okay I’ll start telling you now.
“This is going to be so much fun tonight girls! We can just talk and talk about anything that we want!” Tina said eagerly.
“I know. We can diss anybody we want tonight,” Allie agreed.
“The best thing is that we don’t have to worry about Lena, or the fact that the guys drool all over her when she’s around!” Keri gave me a high five.
“We shouldn’t always be too sure, Lena always seems to show up at the weirdest times,” Betty warned.
“Stop being so practical, Bet. Tonight we’re going to make fools of ourselves, and have a great time doing it,” I started dancing around and doing the robot, my specialty.
“Do it again! Do it again! Do the robot again!” Tina squealed with joy. In a way she was kind of like a two-year-old. She loved repetition.
“No, leave her be. We’ll have plenty of time for that later,” Jennifer said in a parental tone. I didn’t blame her for it though because Tina was like a little baby anyway; a really cute little baby.
“Okay, but I expect to see that again! I want to see it very soon!” Tina frowned.
“Let’s go inside, ladies!” Betty said. She pulled into a parking spot at the theater. All the girls cheered. We went inside and picked up our tickets.
“We’ll have five for that movie.” Keri pointed at the billboard.
“What do you all want to eat?” I asked pulling out the money I had collected from everyone earlier. That was the way things went when we went out. Keri organized it, Betty drove, and I worried about the money. I took about twenty bucks from everyone. I figured that would cover the cost for everyone.
“I’ll take five of everything!” Jennifer said to the guy working the register of the snack bar.
“Jen, we can’t afford that. I only have a hundred,” I warned.
“Take a chill pill, Ash,” Jennifer whipped out a credit card. We all gasped.
“Where did you get that?” Keri asked in awe.
“My dad said that I could use it since I’ve been really good lately.”
“Oh, why are you going to use it on us?” Allie was puzzled.
“Because I can! Is this really such a big deal?” Jennifer handed the guy working her dad’s card.
“Yes!” We all said together.
“It shouldn’t be. The snacks are my treat since I’m the one that ordered them,” Jennifer reasoned.
“I don’t know…” Betty said.
“You don’t know what? Just let me do this!” Jennifer was getting really angry with us now.
“You guys, just let it go. Thanks a lot, Jen. This is really nice of you,” I tried to calm everybody down.
“Well, let’s go inside already! I want to pig out, but I can’t do that until we get into a dark room so no one can tell,” Tina giggled.
We all headed to our seats. We sat down and we kept hearing all these weird sounds coming from the
