Melody walked into her house, the smell of popcorn and butter covering her normal body spray.
"Mom, I home!" she yelled as she took the stairs up to her room two at a time. She walked into her room and, shutting and locking the door behind her, flopped down on her bed, the red light flashing on her answering machine. She picked up her phone and dialed the answering machine.
"Hey Melody…What's up? It's Drake. Listen, I know you had to work and all but, um, if you're not too tired do you think we could catch a movie…Just the two of us…N-not like a…date or anything but, just us as friends. Call me when you get this. Bye."
Melody was smiling from ear to ear as she hit the 'one' on the speed dial.
"Hello?"
"Hi."
"Hey Melody." It was Josh.
"Hey Josh. Is Drake there?"
"Yeah…Hold please."
She could hear Josh calling Drake and she waited, twisting her finger in the phone cord.
A few seconds later Drake answered.
"Hello?" he sounded breathless
"Hey." She said, still smiling.
"Hey Mel. I take it you got my message."
"Yeah. So, what movie do you wanna see?" she asked, sitting up and looking around the room for something a little nicer to wear than her red 'Premiere' vest and her black pants.
Silence on Drake's side.
"Why don't we figure that put when we get there. I'll be at your house in a few, okay?" Melody asked, finding and putting on her pink mini that Drake seemed to like.
"Okay. See ya then." He said hanging up the phone.
She dropped the phone on her bed and finished getting dressed. After falling back on her bed putting her shoes on, Melody grabbed her car keys off of her nightstand and took one final look in the mirror.
Ten minutes later, she stood at Drake's front door. She rang the door and shivered slightly in the night chill.
Megan answered the door, smiling. Melody and Megan always got along, especially since Melody at one time thought that Drake was a boob too.
"Hey Megan."
"Hey Melody. How's it been?" she asked, moving out of the way so that Melody could step inside.
"Eh...It's been so-so. What about you?" she asked, walking over to and sitting on the couch.
"I live two boobs and my mom and Josh's dad….I'd say it's been alright." She said smiling and sitting next to Melody.
"Where's Drake?"
"Oh…He's upstairs… He was going on about that you and him are going to the movies and he wouldn't be back til really late…"
Melody smiled. Megan looked at her and told her she'd see her around sometime and disappeared up the stairs, probably going to irritate Josh.
Melody turned on the TV and began flipping through channels, looking for something to keep her entertained for the moment.
Drake walked down silently and stood behind Melody.
"You ready to go?" she asked, making Melody jump.
She looked up at him, smiled and nodded. "Let's go."
