Chapter Two: Seventeen Again
They decided to go and see that Zac Efron movie called 17 Again. Apparently it was about a man who turned back into a teenager. Miley was the one who wanted to see it. But she only wanted to see it because Zac was in it. Oliver was disgusted at the poor choice and was even more disgusted when Miley insisted that they act like a romantic couple. They met at eight o clock at the cinema. Lilly and Jeremy arrived two minutes later. Oliver tried to avoid looking at them while Miley was pretending to gush about Oliver. They stood in line to buy their tickets for 17 Again.
"I can't believe Miley is making us see this." Lilly whispered to Oliver. He was so focused on avoiding her that he didn't hear her the first time. "Oliver?"
He quicky snapped out of his trance. "Yes?"
"I said, I can't believe Miley is taking us to see this."
"Yeah." His voice sounded toneless and he tried to fake a laugh. Lilly glared at him for a moment before turning back to Jeremy. They collected their tickets and proceded to the snack bar. Everyone except Oliver had a medium sized bag of popcorn. Lilly was very surprised that Oliver wasn't pigging out. Usually he had a large popcorn, nachos, slushie and a candy bar. Sometimes he even went back to the snack bar to get more candy.
"Oliver?" Lilly asked him. "Is something wrong?"
For once, Oliver found it hard to meet her eyes. "Oh no." He managed to choke out, trying to keep his cool. They went into Theater 8, and sat in the seats for about 10 minutes. Then the promos started, they weren't very interesting. A car commercial, a trailer of that new Disney movie called Up, a horror movie called Angels and Demons and that new X Men movie called X Men Origins: Wolverine. Maybe, if this date doesn't work out, then I can ask Lilly to see X Men Origins with me. Oliver thought to himself as the trailers went by. The movie 17 Again was a very dull movie. Miley squealed at Zac Efron on the screen. It was pretty okay until Oliver saw Jeremy snuggle a little closer to Lilly. Guess we won't be going on that date. The rest of the movie was complete hell. Oliver was torn between watching a remarkably dull movie and listening to Miley squeal or watch the cuddling couple next to him.
After what seemed like decades, the movie finally ended and the credits were rolling. Jeremy got up pretty quickly and said "Well, maybe me and Lils should get going."
"Already?" Miley asked. "What about shopping?"
"No time." Jeremy said quickly. "Come on Lilly." He said in an unusually sharp tone and grabbed her arm and lead her out of the theater.
"I wonder whats up?" Miley asked.
"I have no idea. I'm sure Lilly and Jeremy just want to have some romantic time alone." He made sure that his voice sounded especially disgusted at the last 3 words.
