I thought I'd write another one really quick while I'm waiting to be picked up. Forgive me if it's not that good. I got about 2 hours of sleep last night…yeah, so here you go.
Nudge somehow dragged me out into her car, me kicking and screaming the whole way. I glared at her, but she just kept trudging on, Ella following quickly.
"Nudge, this is not cool." I told her. She just shrugged. She sat me down in the passenger seat, buckled me in and ran around to the other side. And locked the car before I could get out. Flip, the child locks!
"Nudge!" I cried, frustrated.
"Max!" She mocked. "Ella, what CD should we listen to?" Nudge asked, looking back at Ella through the mirror. Ella shrugged, then started asking about listening to the radio.
"Yeah, that's a great idea!" Nudge replied. She pressed the "search" button, and looked for tuner. Then, there we were, Nudge and Ella singing along with Travis McCoy and Bruno Mars to the catchy song, Billionaire. Nudge even rapped, which made me smile.

Soon we were at the movie theater, and as I got out, I noticed the heels that Nudge had strapped on. Crap!
"Nudge." I said slowly. She turned her head towards me, indicating that she was listening, yet she kept her eyes on the ground. "Look at me, please."
"Yes, Max?" She said, not looking at me, but a few inches to my left.
"What. Is. This?" I asked through clenched teeth, pointing down at my feet. She followed my finger, then her expression changed to smug. Her smile was devious as she answered.
"Why, those are my boots. They were a lot of money. I'm glad you like them!" She said. My eyes narrowed. But before I could decide if I really wanted to strangle her, I heard Iggy call Ella's name.
He and the guys came down the little ramp, dressed in normal clothes. While Nudge, Ella, and I were all super over-dressed. God, I felt so stupid. The guys' eyes widened, even Fang's, when they saw me, which made me feel even worse. I almost covered my face, but I didn't want them thinking I was feeling sorry for myself.
"Whoa, Max. You look hot!" Gazzy told me. Iggy's mouth just hung open. Fang had a brow cocked, but that was it.
"Gazzy, I don't know whether to feel insulted, or to feel praised." Nudge said, looking confused.
"Nudge, you know I love you." He told her, walking over and giving her a hug. She smiled at him, but it didn't exactly reach her eyes. Ella swatted at Iggy, who closed his mouth and put an arm around her shoulders, but remained silent and kept sneaking glances at me. Fang walked up beside me.
"I see you noticed the torture Nudge and Ella put me through." I told him, not looking. I saw from the corner of my eye that he nodded.
"Yeah, but I'm not sorry." He whispered, smirking. "You look-" he cut himself off. My head snapped up, and I glared at him.
"What were you about to say?" I asked hardly.
"Nothing, nothing. So are you excited about the movie?" He asked.
"Don't change the subject."
"What team are you on?"
"Fang-"
"I'm on team Edward. Jacob may be hot, but the way Robert displays Edward is just so…touching." He told me, making the other's chuckle. I tried to keep the smile off my face.
"I'm on Team Emmett. He's hot!" Ella said. Iggy made a face.
"I like Esme." Gazzy said suddenly. Everyone stopped talking and all looked at him. He seemed to grow smaller. "What?" He asked innocently. We all burst into giggles.
"I like an older woman." Gazzy told us, his eyes furrowing. We all laughed until we arrived.

"Why is everyone staring?" I whispered to no one in particular.
"'Cause you look wicked!" Ella said. I eyed her with disapproval. "What?"
I sighed, "I'll get the snacks." I told them. They gave me the orders, then went to go sit down. I got in line, and waited for about five minutes before I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around, my hair flapping whoever it was in the face.
"Oh, sorry!" I said, blushing. He just smiled, showing two rows of perfect white teeth. He had gorgeous green eyes, though not as pretty as Lissa's. He had high cheekbones, a long, sleek nose and a muscular body. Also, a bit of stubble made him even more appealing.
"That's quite alright." He told me, in a heart-stopping British accent. (AN: I know he's not British in the books, but I couldn't resist!) It made my insides melt. "My name is Sam, and I was just marveling at how pretty you look from behind. I wanted to see your face. Now I see that you are like a rose." He told me. He wasn't smiling, instead he looked dead serious.
I laughed.
"Thanks." I said, feeling pretty awkward. My blush was now raging. He looked behind me, so I turned to see that it was now my turn to order.
"I'll have 3 large popcorns, 2 nachos, 6 large drinks, 5 cokes and a sprite, 1 sour patch kids, 2 Swedish fish, 2 nerds rope, and a reeses pieces." I told the cashier, ticking them off on my fingers. The cashier was some nerdy guy whose teeth had a huge gap, and had a bunch of acne. He gave me a weird grunt and then a smile.
"Okay, be right back!" He said, zipping off to get my order. Sam's voice behind me started up again as I started to pull out some cash.
"That's quite a lot for such a small lady." He said.
"I have 5 friends here with me tonight. 3 of them are teenage guys, so yeah, I have to get a lot to keep them satisfied. I told him, smiling to myself. The cashier came back with the drinks, and the nachos. He bent down to get the candy. Someone else brought over a popcorn, and I huge caddy thing for me to carry it with.
"That'll be…$71.59, ma'am." He told me. I nodded, and started to hand the cash over, but a hand came over my shoulder, holding out a card.
"Here, put that on this." Sam told the cashier. The cashier looked afraid, then nodded, while I mentally cursed Sam.
"God, and why did you do that?" I shouted at him.
"Well, I wasn't going to let you pay for that all by yourself."
"Why not? I have the money, it's my food, and I hate when men try to do that!"
"Do what?"
"Act like just because we're girls, we can't handle what you can. Bye." I told him, heading down the isle towards the movie.
"Here, let me walk with you at least." He said. I looked at him, and there was pleading in his eyes.
"It's a free country, do what you want." I told him.
"Alright, then I want to do this." He said, taking a popcorn from me. Before I could protest, he said, "What movie are you going to see?"
"Eclipse. Nudge's choice."
"Nudge?"
"My friend. She did this to me." I said, pointing at my clothes and make-up.
"Oh. Well, you should thank her. Your boyfriend must be in a frenzy."
"I don't have a boyfriend."
"No boyfriend? Then forgive me for this." He said, then he bent down and gave me a kiss. It was just a peck, but it was full on the lips. I must've been really shocked, because no words would form.
He handed me the popcorn, and then walked off in the opposite direction.
Stopped there, 'cause I have to go pack. By the way, I see we have lots of Paramore lovers here…so, please, check out my little songfic on my fiction press. I'm Calico Storms on there for anyone interested. It's called Emergency. Review and tell me whatcha think! Thanks, guys! Best wishes for the weekend!
