Chapter 4 Look Who's Here

*Movie theaters*

J.T.: Two tickets for At First Sight!

Cashier: Are you sure?

J.T.: Why wouldn't I be?

Cashier: Oh I see. (He said as noticed Manny.) That would be $12.50. Enjoy your show.

As him and Manny were walking into the theater she saw him and by that I mean Craig. He was with Ashley of course and they were planning to see the exact same movie. Surprise, Surprise!!! I mean where else is there to hang out on a Friday night but this was a huge quintessence. No matter how hard Manny tried to move on there was Craig but to him Manny was everywhere. What could this possibly mean? Was it meant to be or just a sign? A bad sign or maybe a good sign? Craig and Ashley were having a great a time until they saw Manny. Ashley didn't really dislike Manny because she didn't know the truth and J.T. didn't hate Craig because he didn't know either but he might pretty soon.

Manny: I'm having fun already and the night has just begun.

J.T.: Well let's make the best of it! Do you want me to get the popcorn?

Manny: How about you go get the seats?

J.T.: Sure hurry before the movie starts.

Manny: I sure will.

Ashley: I'll go get the seats okay honey!

Craig: See you in a few minutes.

Then he got in line and saw Manny. He tried to ignore her but couldn't. There weren't many places to hide. I mean why did it matter if he saw her or even spoke to her. He has no feelings for her but was he sure of that. She took the first move and waved at him and he smiled to cover up what he was thinking. He went up to her.

Craig: Hi there. Wasn't expecting to see you here.

Manny: Me neither. I'm here with J.T. See I've moved on.

Craig: Me too, so.what you seeing? (He said while looking up and down at her. Even though he might not be love with her, he still thought she was attractive. Manny noticed him too.)

Manny: Oh we're seeing At First Sight.

Craig: Really? It's a small world Ashley and me are too but she had to talk me into it.

Manny: Oh really yeah I confess I kind of made J.T. too.

Craig: Ah hah! What can you do? Your turn

Manny: What? (He pointed to the cashier.) Oh! I would like a large soda and buttered popcorn.

Cashier: $5.50 (She searched in her purse but forgot her wallet. She couldn't believe this. Any other day this could've happened but now? Why now?)

Cashier: Mame is there a problem?

Manny: Yeah actually there is. I forgot my wallet.

Craig: Manny I can pay.

Manny: Oh no you couldn't. You really shouldn't have to. (She said because she was so embarrassed but didn't have any other option so she took his offer.) Craig: Oh it's really no problem. You can just pay me later.

Manny: Thanks a lot!

They got their food and walked into the movie theater together and almost sat together until they remembered they had already come with dates.

Craig: Well see you on Monday.

Manny: Ah hah I will be there. Thanks again!

Craig: Really it was no problem.

Then they sat with their dates that they originally came with. Ashley saw Manny and J.T. saw Craig but they didn't think too much of it. It was just a few people from school that they always saw, no big deal.

J.T.: I guess Craig and Ashley had the same idea.

Manny: Yep they did. I can't believe I forgot my wallet.

J.T.: What? I could've paid.

Manny: Oh it's fine. Craig was there to pay.

J.T.: He was? Well that was nice but now I'm here. (He said while putting his arm around her shoulder. Was that a hint of Jealously?)

Ashley: She's just everywhere you go, isn't she?

Craig: You mean Manny? I guess so but she's here with J.T.

Ashley: Oh finally she got over you. No more worries for me.

Craig: What is that supposed to mean?

Ashley: I hope you don't think that I'm silly for saying this but I could have sworn something was going on between you two.

Craig: What? Manny Santos and me? Please would you actually think I like her?

Ashley: I guess I could just be imaging things but oh I don't know.

Craig: Well you are imaging things because nothing was happening or will ever happen!

Ashley: Okay, Okay don't get all worked up over this. It was just a thought, only a small thought.

Craig: Sorry Ashley but I'm with you now and only you.

Ashley: I know and I like it that way. I love you.

Craig: Me too only you! (She laughed a little and was also relieved that nothing will ever again happen between him and Manny but there is still a possibility something will happen.) Ashley: Shh the movie is starting.
