seats behind us. I bet you can guess who it was. We must be in a small Podunk town because we keep seeing her all over the place. It’s almost as if she’s following me or something, isn’t it? You keep on pondering that for a little while.
“Who is that behind us? They won’t shut up.” Jennifer complained.
“I don’t know, but if they don’t shut up soon, Ash is going to go have a talk with them.” Keri replied.
“What? Why do I have to?” I looked at Keri.
“Because you’re the only one who has the guts to.” Tina chimed in.
“Thanks, you guys…Hey! Wait. You’re just trying to get out of it by making me feel really good about myself, aren’t you?” I looked at them accusingly.
“Uh…Quiet. I’m trying to watch the movie over here,” Tina replied.
“Shhhh! He’s just about to kiss her, you guys,” Betty sighed.
“Who cares? He’s been about to do that during the entire movie!” Allie said.
“Okay you guys, calm down. Let’s just watch the movie. Okay?” I looked at the dark faces. They nodded. We all sat back and kept enjoying the move. Just when he was about to kiss her again, there was a loud laughing sound coming from the back. As if on the cue, all the girls looked over at me.
“What?” I looked at them.
“Ash…” They said.
“Fine! I just want you to know that I don’t like this at all,” I got up and went to the back to see what was going on. It was, of course, Lena. She was sitting on some guy’s lap. I couldn’t tell who he was, but he was probably a sleaze himself. She was kissing him. “Excuse me I said.” She looked over at me.
“May I help you?” She couldn’t tell who I was.
“Yes, please shut up!” I answered.
“Ashley?” Lena said in surprise.
“How’d you guess?” I asked sarcastically.
“The foul odor,” Lena replied.
“Clever.”
“This is stupid, go back to your seat. I’m trying to watch a movie over here,” Lena said exasperatedly.
“Oh. I’m sorry I didn’t know that you were actually watching the movie, Lena. What’s going on in the movie?” I questioned.
“He’s about to kiss her,” She said confidently.
“That’s been going on for the whole movie,” I rolled my eyes.
“Let’s take this outside.” Lena grabbed her purse. “I’ll be back soon!” She whispered to her date in a lusty voice.
“Gross. Let’s go!” I yelled at her. We headed outside. I could tell that all my friends were still watching. They followed us outside.
“What’s your problem? I wasn’t even bothering you this time.” Lena looked at me.
“You’re trying to tell me that you were actually trying to be nice for a change?” I looked at her genuinely amazed.
“Maybe. It doesn’t matter now. You came up to me out of nowhere. You’re just looking for a fight because you’re jealous of me!” Lena shrieked.
“What are you talking about? You’re the one that was making all of the kissy noises during the entire movie! I was just trying to enjoy a movie. Why do you have to be everywhere that I am?” I screamed.
“You’re the one that’s following me! You don’t have a life of your own so you have to butt in on mine. You’ve never had a life.
