A/N: So this chapter took me a while. I didn't really have any ideas to write and I'm kind of losing interest in this story. Maybe I would gain it back with a bit of encouragement but I don't know. It also really took me some time to write because I had algebra, reading, and history homework. You do no want to be in the eighth grade, trust me. But anyways, enjoy the chapter!

-Chapter 7-

On my opinion, I like my popcorn without the butter but August insisted it was necessary to enjoy a movie, so of course, I agreed. I was going to pay for the drinks but August didn't let me. Only because he's the guy doesn't mean he has to pay everything. He ended up buying me a cherry-flavored ICEE while he bought a raspberry one.

"There you go," August said handing me my ICEE and nachos which he also insisted on buying.

"Thanks but you really didn't have to buy anything. I brought my own money you know." I felt my face heat up a little as I stated that.

August smiled, showing his pearly whites. "Well, I couldn't let the lady but the food, could I?" he said.

August and I entered the cinema and found a seat at the very end, the very top. The trailers had already started and I felt mad inside because I actually like knowing what movies where coming up. Teddy drove me into liking the trailers since she would complain when she would miss them. It was just a habit she led me into.

August and I sat side by side and I couldn't stop my heart from racing. This is how it must feel to go on your first date. I kept glancing his way when he wasn't looking and moving my head away fast enough for him not to see. I found myself looking at him more than at the movie. His eyes were glued to the screen while eating popcorn rapidly. I found this very cute and amusing at the same time. I never thought that a boy like August would like the Harry Potter series. My predictions, of course, were wrong.

I looked at Voldemort's snake Nagini approach the screen and opened its mouth in surprise. I flinched at this. August noticed my jump and turned to me. He placed his arm around my shoulders for support which made me turn a darker shade of red. Most possibly, he only did this as a friend. No boy ever wanted to be more than friends with me and I didn't think August was going to be the first boy to accomplish the more-than-friends routine.

August's arm was still around my shoulders. It felt nice but weird at the same time. I couldn't look at him in the eye because embarrassment was growing inside me. August must have noticed I was uncomfortable with his arm there so helpfully removed it. At the same time I was grateful and disappointed but I didn't ask him to once again put his arm around me. August had returned to eat his popcorn hungrily again and I couldn't help but smile. How can boys eat so much and not gain a single pound?

August's suddenly seemed to be focused on something else instead of the movie for a moment. He frowned then turned his direction back to the movie. I looked down like he did and found Jessica kissing another guy. Anger boiled through my blood. I mean first she breaks up with August when he bought tickets for them two and then she decides to come with someone else to the same movie. She's such a player!

The movie finished an hour later and I couldn't help but be grateful. Seeing other people kissing in public is not a pretty picture. I mean, there are people around you everywhere. Get a room or something!

"So did you enjoy the movie?" August asked looking at me.

I nodded not wanting to talk or look at him. My mind still had the picture of Jessica and her boyfriend kissing. It seriously wasn't the prettiest picture. Even worse, she was kissing him right in front of us.

"You seem distracted you know," August pointed out. His hazel eyes met mine and I couldn't help myself to stay locked in his eyes.

"Yeah," I said. "I just have a lot in my mind lately." I put a strand of my blonde hair behind my ear.

August gave me a concerned look. "Like what kind of stuff?" he asked.

I shrugged. "Just so many different stuff." The stuff that was actually through my skull right now was August and school and Jessica and so many other stuff. I just couldn't bear to share my thoughts, even with August.

"Well I have some stuff I want to tell you Charlie," August said. I immediately looked at him, my eyes pleading to know.

"What would you want to tell me?" I asked.

August took a deep breath. "Well the thing is…" he paused and looked at me for a second, as if he was not sure to tell me.

"Yeah?" I said and raised my eyebrows.

"I… I really like you!" he blurted out.
