shadows caused by the screen. He was gorgeous. I felt my face get hot, and I quickly looked back at the screen. He kissed my hand, then set it back down again. My breath picked up, and I squeezed his hand. I thought I heard him laugh quietly. He gently rubbed my hand with his thumb. The armrest wasnât down, so I scooted closer to him. Slowly, he wrapped his arm around me. I thought I heard Rachel huff, but I didnât care. All I cared about in that moment was Scott.
âAhhhhh!â Someoneâs scream behind us made me jump out of my own skin. Scott and I spun around to see a bucket of popcorn overturned on Sarahâs head and popcorn piled in her lap. Everyone was laughing and pointing. Even Scott and I joined in. Sarah yanked the bucket off her head and chucked it at one of the guys, then began to pick the remaining popcorn out of her hair. Another yelp was heard, and it seemed like everyone was throwing popcorn at each other and laughing. People were jumping over seats and running through the aisles. Little screams were heard here and there, but mostly laughter. Thankfully, they soon ran out of popcorn and everyone settled back into their seats. I brushed popcorn out of my lap.
Rachel huffed as she picked some out of her hair. âScott, is there any popcorn on me?â she asked in a flirty tone.
He glanced at her for a moment. âI donât see any.â He turned back to the screen. She had a scowling look on her face, but I ignored it.
I wasnât really paying attention to the plotline of the movie, but it was getting pretty gruesome. The murderer had already killed four blondes. The police had mentioned that they thought it was a serial killer since he was targeting blondes.
âLily, did you notice that the main character has blond hair? And heâs killing all blondes? Itâs like heâs trying to clue Ciara in,â Scott said enthusiastically.
âYouâre right. Heâs picking girls that look like her before he actually goes after her.â
He nodded and continued watching the screen.
A few minutes later, a figure moved down the steps. I could tell by the striped polo that it was Max. He disappeared around the corner and returned a few minutes later. He must have gone to the bathroom. I took in a deep breath. Scott smelled really good. I lost myself in him again. I shivered in the air-conditioned room. I put on my jacket, then snuggled back into Scott. I sighed, and he leaned his head on mine. I could have stayed like this forever.
By the end of the movie, Scott and I had been right. The killer was targeting the main character, killing off her friends in his twisted idea of a gesture of love. When the lights turned on, we all stood up to stretch. I watched as Luke bent down and kissed Angela gently on the lips. Practically the whole school was jealous of them. Not me . . . I looked behind me to find Sarah and Max burning holes at me with their stares. Ugh.
Emily and Jacob were holding hands and staring at each other. Ew. Rachel was standing with her arms crossed and staring at the screen that was now playing the credits to creepy music.
âGuys, letâs sneak into another movie. I mean, no oneâs here,â Jacob, of course, suggested.
âYeah, letâs do it!â Sarah agreed.
âWe donât have anything else to do, right Lily?â Emily asked, obviously being rhetorical. I knew that even if I said no, she would have forced it to be a yes. She just wanted to be with Jacob longer.
âNo, we donât. Sounds good to me. Are you going to stay, Scott?â I asked. I would do anything to spend more time with him, even if it meant doing something wrong, like sneaking into another movie without paying.
âYeah, Iâll stay, only because you are, though,â he said, squeezing my hand and flashing me a smile. I beamed up at him. I was so shocked and happy, I thought I would explode. Everyone else agreed to stay, except
