One Girl
Chapter 2: The date and he's back!

Annie started her normal daily routine of going to school, making fun of the preps, telling off the people that would continuously ask if she was dating Martin Mystery, listening to Diana go on about he way Rick walks, or talks, or smiles, goofing off with Martin and of course paying attention in class.

Now that Diana and Rick were becoming friendly, Annie was forced to sit back with Martin, which she didn't mind 'cause they got along quite well.

But the one thing that was really getting to Annie was that now she was getting continuously watched by that same group of girls that had confronted her last week. If she went into the cafeteria, they would be there. If she went to her locker, they would be hanging somewhere around the corner. She tried not to let it get to her, but they were getting out of hand.

'There is a group of girls that are continuously following me around. They are standing around the corner and they keep poking their head around it.' Annie told her. Diana tried her hardest not to look behind them to see if she could see the group.

'Are you sure?' Diana replied. Annie nodded.

'Well, what do they want?' She asked

'They think I'm going out with Martin.' Annie replied, but Diana couldn't keep a straight face. She burst out laughing and Annie tried to hush her, telling her to keep her voice down. Diana finally got back her self control.

'What does it matter what they think. You've never cared what people think of you.' Diana stated.

'Yeah, that's true…but it's extremely annoying having people following you everywhere! I just want to go up to one of them and just straggle one of them.' Annie demonstrated on thin air how she'd grab them around the neck.

'If we don't get to class soon, that's exactly what our teacher will do to us.' Diana pointed out. Annie nodded and they left for class.

'Finally, school's finished for today.' Annie sighed as she put her books in her bag.

'Hey I never got to ask,' Annie said looking at Diana, 'what's happening with you and Rick?'

'Well…' she started off, 'he's asked me to come to the movies with him.' Annie was shocked. They barely knew each other and now they are going out on a date?

'Details! Give me the details!' Annie said overjoyed for her friend.

'Well, we were sitting in science class and he –' Diana started until Annie interrupted.

'No not those details! Like what movie? And when?' Annie told her. As the two of the walked out of the school, Diana told her when, where etc.

'Does Martin know?' Annie asked.

'Do I know what?' Martin asked walking up behind them and scaring Diana.

'Do I know what?' He asked again.

"Oh, nothing!' Diana said waving good bye to Annie, leaving her there with Martin asking her over and over what they were talking about. Annie tried as best she could to not tell him. She started walking home and Martin followed her, continuously asking. Finally Annie caved in.

'Ok! Ok! I'll tell you. But on one condition: you don't tell Diana and I better not see you there.' Annie said.

"But that's two conditions.' Martin stated.

"Do you want me to tell you or what?' Annie replied. Martin, being the nosy person, nodded. Annie started to tell Martin that Diana was going to the movies…but Annie was smart. She told Martin the wrong day and time and, just to make sure, the wrong movie.

Later that night…
'Why did you tell him?' It was obvious the Diana was pissed off about her brother knowing about her going to the movies. She didn't want him ruining everything with Rick.

"Calm down woman! I told Martin the wrong movie, the wrong day and the wrong time. So there is no way that he would show up. Relax, I got everything under control." Annie said so that Diana would chill.

'Oh, Ok. Will you be there? I'm sorta shy around him.' Diana asked.

"Of course! I'll be there…but I won't sit near you guys…well, I won't be sitting right next to you but I won't be sitting too far away that I can't see what you two are doing." Annie replied.

'Ok, Thanks! I'll see you there then! Bye' With that Diana hung up.

Annie walked down the stair and saw her brothers wrestling on the couch. She ran over to them and broke them apart. She pushed Andy onto the couch and Tyler was left standing.

"What are you two fighting about now?" Annie asked.

"We both want the last cookie. But neither of us wants to share it." Andy explained. Annie looked over at the bench and saw the last cookie sitting on a plate. She walked over to it and picked it up.

"Well, I know how to settle this." And with that she stuffed the cookie into her own mouth and ran for her life to her room. Andy and Tyler chased her up the stairs but it was too late. She had locked her door. Annie could hear her brothers yelling at her saying stuff like 'We'll get you for this!' and 'You can't stay in there forever!'

Annie woke up and looked at her alarm clock. 10:30.

'Shit!' she thought, 'Diana is going to kill me if I'm late!' Annie jumped out of bed and got dressed as fast as she could. The movie was going to start at five minutes to eleven. Annie quickly put on her shoes and raced out the door.

8888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888

Finally, Annie got there. She looked at her watch. 10:45. She walked into the cinema and saw Diana talking to Rick. She walked over to them and greeted them.

"Hey! What are you doing here?" Annie asked, pretending like she didn't know they were coming.

"Well, we're going to see the movie called 'Bed of Roses'." Diana answered.

"Really! That's what I'm seeing too!" Annie replied.

"But you don't like chick flicks." Rick stated.

"True, but I heard some good reviews for it. So I decided to check it out." Annie explained. She went to the ticket booth and bought her ticket. She walked back to Diana and Rick and continued talking. Annie looked around. Her face went blank. She told them that she would be right back and walked off. She thought she saw something standing behind one of those cardboard cut outs. She raced over to see who it was.
"Martin! What are you doing here! I thought I told you not to come!" Annie hissed.

"Relax! I'm not going to do anything."
"That's right because you're not going to see that movie!" Annie ordered, trying to keep her voice down. How did he know when to come? Just then, Diana and Rick walked past. Annie jumped in front of Martin, trying to hide him as best she could.
'Are you coming?' Diana said as she turned around.

'I'll be there in a second.' With that Diana and Rick entered the cinema. Slowly, when the lights had dimmed, Annie crawled inside with Martin close behind.

'But I want to sit at the front.' Martin started to complain until Annie hit him on the head with her fist.

They found 2 free seats just as the movie started. Half an hour in and Annie was already bored out of her mind. She had finished her popcorn (half of which she threw at people sitting in front of her) and was now looking around the room. Martin and Annie had moved the arm rest that was in between them so that there was more room. She started to feel her eyes droop. She leant her head on Martin's shoulder and soon fell asleep.

Martin looked at Annie, the light from the screen shining on her face, showing that she had fallen asleep. He moved her gently so that her head rested on his lap, facing up. He too had gotten bored with the movie and had finished his popcorn, drink, 2 ice creams, 5 packets of chips, and 2 bags of lollies.

He looked back down at Annie. She looked so peaceful when she was asleep. There were a few loose strands of her which Martin moved away from her face.

Finally, the movie was over and Martin shook Annie lightly. She slowly opened her eyes. She sat up and looked around.

'Morning sleepy head.' Martin said. She rubbed her eyes and looked at him.

'Hey. Is the movie over?' Annie asked. He nodded.

As they left the cinema, Annie saw Diana and Rick standing out the front. Annie told Martin to find another way to get out without them noticing that he was there. She then went over to Diana.

'Hey! Did you enjoy the movie?' Diana asked.

'No offence but…GOD! That was so boring!' Annie replied. Rick and Annie laughed. The three of them walked out toward the ticket booth when Annie suddenly stopped. Diana and Rick stop as soon as they realised Annie had stopped.

'Oh, God no! Not him!' Annie thought.

'Annie what's wrong?' Diana asked. Suddenly a guy walked up to her. He was tall, had tan colour skin, brown hair and brown eyes.

'Annie? Is it really you, Annie?' He asked.

'John? What the hell are you doing here?' Annie asked. He hugged her, but she didn't hug him back.

'I have missed you so much.' He told her. She pushed him off and briskly walked out the door, leaving Diana and Rick surprised and confused. John ran after Annie. When he caught up with her, he spun her around.

'Annie, why are you running from me?' John asked. Annie said nothing but just pulled her hand out of his grip and continued to walk away.

'They have some serious explaining to do when I get home!'
