Chapter 4:
Kiss the Girl
Pete and Clark decided to meet up at the movie theater. Pete went to go pick up Chrisi in his car and Clark went over to pick up Lara. He drove up to the parking lot of her house and parked his red truck. Her house only had a few lights on and there was only one car in the driveway. He wondered if her parents were even home.
Clark got out of his truck and walked up to the door and knocked on it. Lara hurried downstairs and opened to door for him. She smiled and Clark smiled back. She was wearing a light pink short sleeve shirt with a pair of jean Capri's. "Ready?" He asked her.
"Yea, let me just get a jacket." She walked over to the hallway closet and got a small jacket and the keys to the house. As she walked out she locked the door. "Let's go."
He smiled and walked her to his truck and opened the door for her. She got in and smiled at Clark, "Thank you."
Clark drove them to the movie theater and they talked about their classes. They both thought that Mr. Thompson was such a goof ball and they both thought Mrs. Sanders was a cool teacher. Clark kept on looking over at her as they talked and smiled once he realized they had a lot in common. Once they got there they met up with Pete and Chrisi. "We bought the tickets." Pete said.
"Okay, do you girls want anything?" Clark asked them.
Lara jumped up and down. "Uh! Uh! Popcorn and candy. It can't be a movie without popcorn." They all laughed and Clark nodded. They got the popcorn and candy and went inside the theater where the movie was showing. They sat in the last row. Once the movie started Clark looked over at Lara and she put up her legs in the seat next to her and rested her head on Clarks shoulder. He looked back at the screen and didn't mind or move.
During the whole movie she stayed put and would occasionally hold his hand. He would just smile and return the gesture. As soon as the movie was over Pete decided to go off his own way with Chrisi to leave Clark and Lara alone. Pete noticed that they were starting to like each other and wanted to let them be alone.
Clark led Lara outside. It was dark and the deep dark blue sky with its bright shimmering stars was out. Lara was gazing up at the sky and Clark looked at her. "So Clark how long have you lived here?"
He looked down at his feet and smiled. "Almost all my life."
She looked over at him. "Have you ever just noticed how beautiful the sky is?"
Clark looked up, "Yeah, it's wonderful." They stopped and she leaned against a wall behind her looking up at him as he stood in front of her smiling. They stayed there for a moment just looking into each others eyes and Clark started to lean down to kiss her but his hearing caught onto some robbery not too far, but he did hear that it was getting out of control.
"I have to go!" Lara said. Clark was shocked but he let her run off and knew he had to go help. He super speeded over to the bank and saw a huge man in front of him. The man shimmered away and Clark was left shocked. He heard the sheriff and super speeded out of there before he could be caught.
