Chapter 4
Craig, Sean, Toby, J.T, Manny, and Emma waited in the ticket line outside of the movie theatre. They were going to see a suspense movie with a romance as well, they figured both the guys and the girls would enjoy it that way. Craig was hoping he would get a chance to sit next to Manny, he didn't care who else. Though, he thought, It would be a total bummer if I ended up sitting in between Manny and Emma. Too much estrogen. Craig knew Emma had a thing for him, and he knew that she was upset when she found out he dug Manny. So It would totally suck to be stuck next to the two of them. He was hoping there wouldn't be any cat-fights tonight.
After Craig left the movie theatre all he could think was that tonight didn't exactly go the way he had planned. In the line to get refreshments Manny got a call on her cell from her parents saying that she had to come home immediately because her cousins were visiting for dinner and she had forgotten to tell Manny about it earlier. So Craig was stuck the whole movie sitting on one side of Emma, who happens to have a big thing for him, and one side Toby, who happens to be extremely annoying. What did he get himself into? The only reason he had invited them in the first place is because he really wanted Manny to come and he wanted to make it more comfortable for her. He didn't even get to sit next to his one true friend Sean because apparently J.T had to show Sean this great joke story he got off the internet, and Sean wanted to sit next to Emma because he still had a small sweet on her. Oh well, Craig didn't give a damn. Things just weren't turning out the way he had wanted them to. Screw life. He thought to himself.
He couldn't wait until he reached the door. He was going to take a nice long, hot, shower, and turn in for the night. Then he remembered it might not be that easy. He had ditched dinner earlier that night because he was afraid of what the family meeting might be about. And Joey very rarley gets angry, but he was sure he would now. Oh shit, this night was horrible and it was just going to get worse. Craig couldn't believe he had ditched this really important dinner that he was going to get screwed for missing, to go to a crappy romance/suspense movie-without Manny- that rotted like the garbage outside his house. Damn! This shit really sucked and screwed with his brain. He had no idea what he was going to do. Joey wouldn't be that harsh on him, but what if this family meeting was really about something serious? Perhaps life threatening? Well Craig knew there was only one thing he could do to find out and that was go inside. Wow he was going to need some adrenaline for this.
