The day was being a drag. Arthur had been listening to Mister Sanchez ramble about neutrons and electrons for the last hour of school, and Arthur couldn't wait to get home. The day had been filled with boring lectures repeating stuff they had learned before, but Arthur endured. The bell finally rang. Mister Sanchez stopped in the middle of his lecture, to let the students go home.
"We'll continue the lesson on Friday. Have a good day, class!"
As Arthur entered the hall, his phone buzzed. It was a text from Sue Ellen.
Meet u at the tree house.
Arthur watched his phone, puzzled for a bit. He got his backpack from his locker, then made his way to the tree house. When he had ascended the ladder into the tree house, he saw Sue Ellen sitting cross legged in the middle of the floor, headphones in her ears. She looked up at Arthur and smiled, making room for him to sit next to her.
"I see you got my text." She said.
"What did you want to see me for?" Arthur asked.
Sue Ellen didn't respond, she just snuggled closer to Arthur, laying her head on his shoulder.
"I thought you just might want to talk." She said finally.
"About?"
She sat up. "Anything. Like, have you seen any movies lately?"
Arthur stroked his chin for a moment, before answering, "I saw Bling 3. Y'know, where that guy finds all that gold hidden beneath the Alamo?"
Sue Ellen looked at Arthur blankly. "I've never seen that." They chuckled. "What's it about?" She asked.
"Well, this guy's super rich, and he's always searching for gold. So he hears about a legend that says that the Alamo is sitting atop a gold mine. So he takes a team to check it out. He finds a lot of gold, bypasses a lot traps. It's like a cheesy Indiana Jones film." Arthur rambled.
Sue Ellen nodded thoughtfully. She then asked, "What kind of music do you want to listen to?"
Arthur then asked, "Do you like BROODS?"
Sue Ellen's eyes widened. "DO I? They're like, my favorite band!"
Sue Ellen shared her headphones with Arthur, and they listened to music for a while, not saying anything, but just enjoying the presence of each other. Arthur eventually leaned his back against the wall, closing his eyes lightly. Sue Ellen laid her head across his chest, neither of them saying anything, but just being together.
When it was six thirty, Arthur's phone rang. He was late for dinner. He looked at Sue Ellen, who hadn't been woken, even though his ringtone was pretty loud. He carefully got up and laid her on her side, kissing her forehead before leaving the tree house.
A/N: I know, it's short. Crucify me. It was longer, but the extra length went nowhere, so I'm cutting it here. But, stick around and see if things get longer as the ride progresses. As always, Read and Review.
