Chapter 4: Duncan

I was picking Gwen up to go to the movies. We were going to see Alien Invasion 3.5. It would probably suck, like all the other Alien Invasion movies, but Gwen and I liked to laugh at the actor's stupidity. I pulled up to her mansion. I let out a low whistle, this was one sweet place! I honked the horn.

"Coming!" I heard Gwen called. A minute later she burst through the door. She looked beautiful. I inwardly smacked myself for noticing. After all, Courtney was the one I loved.

"Hey, ready to go to the movies?" I asked.

"You bet I am! Let's go." She replied eagerly. About ten minutes later we arrived at the movie-plex. I opened the door for Gwen and we walked into the movie theater.

"I'll go buy tickets, you get the snacks." I demanded.

"Why do you have to buy the tickets?"

"Because I said so, and you had a bad day."

"Yes sir!" I couldn't help but notice that she held my hand longer than necessary. I watched her walk away, she seemed so happy. If I didn't know any better, I wouldn't have guessed that she broke up with her boyfriend.

After ten long minutes in line, I got two tickets. I met up with Gwen at the snack bar, she had twizzlers, reeses pieces, cotton candy, and of course popcorn.

"Woah, we could feed an army with all this!" I exaggerated.

"Keep dreaming," She said as she rolled her eyes. She was so cute when she rolled her eyes. We gave the man our tickets and proceeded to theater seven, as told. I pushed open the double doors and let Gwen pick the seats. The theater was empty and I laughed inwardly. The movie's so bad, nobody came. I thought happily, Well, it's more quiet…...and romantic. I didn't even regret that thought.

Gwen broke the silence, "Let's get a seat in the back," She offered.

"Great idea." I realized, I was very attracted to her, all these years, I've secretly liked her.

The movie came on a little while later. I wasn't really watching the movie, all I was looking at was Gwen.
