Thank you guys for the reviews. This chapter is dedicated to Takumisa17 for the request. I hope that you like the jealousy! Keep sending me more ideas guys. I might just do one day a chapter now or I may split it up depending on requests and how well I can work things out in my own head.
"As long as it isn't some mushy love story, I really don't care what we see."
Takumi was standing at the booth, looking through the movie list and trying to decide what I would like to see best. I really don't watch movies so I don't know what I would choose. Finally deciding, he told the attendant and passed over the required money in exchange for the tickets. We entered the building and the concession counter was right in front of us.
The smell of popcorn is he most prominent thing that I notice. This is my first time at the movies because I hate spending my money on frivolities. Takumi glanced at me and I scowled. What was he looking at?
Stepping up to the counter, he ordered a jumbo popcorn, a large soft drink and a package of Junior Mints. I pulled out my wallet and he gave me an evil look. "What do you think you are doing?" he asked. "You paid for the tickets so I will pay for the snacks." was my reply.
"I don't think so Misa-chan. I asked you to come with me so I will pay. But I do need you to carry some of this."
"Hmmph." I felt a light tap on my shoulder and turned to see who was behind me. "Excuse me for bothering you, but are you Ayuzawa Misaki by chance?" I nodded and was met with a large smile. This boy looked to be about my age. Something about him was familiar but it was hard to think.
"You probably don't remember me because it has been such a long time. My name is Shintani Hinata. We used to play together as kids." Realization struck me and I said, "Oh my goodness, Shintani? The last time I saw you, you were crying like a baby and was as plump as a plum." The boy standing in front of me smiled wider still and gave a small chuckle.
"Well I moved to live with my grandparents and learned to eat healthier and work hard. No more baby fat here." Takumi, who had been silent through this exchange, chose this moment to make his presence known. "Misa-chan, we should be going in now. The movie will start soon."
"Uh okay. Well Shintani, it was very nice seeing you again. I hope that you keep in touch."
"I certainly will Ayuzawa-chan. Goodbye."
Takumi handed me the popcorn and mints and began walking to the theater. We made our way in and chose seats that were close to eye level since there were very few seats occupied. Takumi was still silent and I could tell something was off. I started to ask him what was wrong when he looked over at me and smiled. He must have just been really focused so I decided to leave it alone.
There still wasn't many people in the room so I guess that he picked something less popular for this very reason. This guy is a total pervert. Taking a few pieces of popcorn, I settled back in my chair as the lights dimmed, signaling the start of the movie.
I tried to focus on the screen and my attention was drawn back to Takumi. He had placed his arm across the back of my chair and had learned toward me. His eyes were on the screen and he acted as if this was completely normal. I turned back to the screen. I don't know why he has to be such a stupid alien.
I said yes when he asked me to the movie, so why did he have to act like it meant more than it really does? I notice a shadow below that is walking up to where we are sitting and I started to get nervous that someone would see us like this.
The shadow moved closer until the person sat down next to me. I glanced over and was surprised to see Shintani smiling at me. He winked and then turned his attention to the screen. I could tell that the exchange had not been missed by Takumi.
I glanced back up at the movie but my mind would not focus. I felt Takumi's arm tighten around my shoulder and I could tell he was getting frustrated. Why did he have to be so jealous? The tension was so thick that I felt like I was suffocating. Shrugging off Takumi's arm, I stood and walked out of the theater. I was not going to do this. I decided I would sit outside to let my head unravel these past few hours.
After a few minutes, Takumi came up beside me and sat down. He was blushing slightly and his eyes did not meet my own. "I'm sorry Misa-chan. Forgive me?" He looked sincere so I said, "Let's just go back home. I want to go to bed early. My head hurts." He replied with "Okay, lets go home."
Tomorrow would not come soon enough. Only 6 more days to go.
