Sophomore Year

Chapter 12: Date Crashers

Summer was fidgeting. Billy, Michelle and Martha had came over a while ago and helped her choose her outfit. She found herself wearing her favorite white dress with a dark gray cardigan that she borrowed from Michelle. Her hair was braided to the side and she was wearing a pair of ballet flats.

That was all a while back. Now she was walking to the Cinema where the date was going to take place. She was anxious, excited, nervous and the list may go on and on. Summer was organized, factual and intelligent, she found it funny that she was freaking out about a guy.

Well not just any guy, Dylan. He had been for the whole week nice and cool, well he was like that even before so it didn't really matter. Summer had spotted him at the pavement just off to the cue for the tickets.

"Hey," Summer greeted.

"Hi, you look great," Dylan greeted back.

"You too."

He did. He was wearing a long sleeved blue shirt, jeans and a jacket on top of it (the shirt not the jeans)

"So I was thinking of watching that new film," Dylan started.

"The action film?" Summer interrupted.

Dylan looked at her before smiling, "I was about to suggest the romantic comedies that almost all girls like."

"I like watching those," Summer said, "But honestly the new one seemed a little boring. And don't those types of movies always end the same way. The guy gets the girl, happily ever after."

Dylan laughed, "Action movies basically have the same ending too, you know."

"I know," Summer shrugged before saying, "But at least you get to see things get blown up."

"You are one cool girl Summer Hathaway," Dylan said.

Summer blushed before replying, "Right back at you Dylan Harper...I mean you're one cool guy, not girl...unless you are one, But you're not. Right?... I should really stop talking now."

Summer shut up much to Dylan's amusement. They started talking about other things and what nots. When they were up at the ticket counter, Dylan had paid for the tickets and wanted to pay for the popcorn and drinks. Now Summer was never comfortable when someone paid for her, unless they were close friends (the band) or her family. It was a sweet gesture nevertheless.

"Here you go mademoiselle," Dylan said as he handed the large popcorn they decided to share.

"Merci," Summer said. Dylan grabbed their drinks and they went into the cinema.

"Looks like we just got here in time," Dylan said as they settled in their seat just as the movie started playing its opening credits.

Summer did enjoy the movie. It was very cool to see things get blown up before she thought to herself that she had been spending way too much time with Zac and Frankie. Summer felt Dylan's arm around her. Looking at him she smiled before coming closer. That was what people did in dates right?

Summer however will not know what will happen next as two things happen simultaneously. One there was an unexpected explosion that she had not seen coming in the film and two someone from behind her yelled out.

"Summer! Fancy meeting you here," A voice she recognized said out cheerfully.

She did not know who was more shock, her or Dylan. She had let out a shriek while Dylan almost dropped the popcorn. Once she had gotten over the shock and restarted her heart she turned around to glare at Frankie.

"What are you doing here?" she hissed.

"You know watching the movie. I've been waiting forever for this movie to come out," Frankie said in an offhand voice that instantly made Summer grit her teeth.

"What's the movie called," Summer asked.

"Oh you know.. the...um..you know...that movie...that we are watching. You know...I know what it's called. It's stupid to not know the title of the movie we are currently watching. Pathetic even, "Frankie said trying to buy time to remember the name of the movie.

Summer heard a groan from beside Frankie and turned shocked to find Zac, Gordon and Alicia.

"What are you all doing here," Summer almost yelled and was quickly hushed by the other audience.

"Can someone explain what's going on?" Dylan asked.

"Don't glare at us, we were already planning to watch this movie," Alicia shrugged before turning back to the screen.

Summer looked daggers at Frankie and Zac.

"And I'm the idiot that listened to Frankie," Zac said.

"Summer, do you know these people," Dylan asked, interrupting the beginning of one good yelling from Summer.

"Dylan, this is Frankie and you know Zac," Summer said.

"Hey dude," Zac said edging away.

"Whatssup," Frankie said getting closer.

Summer groaned this was going to be one interesting night.

...

"IN," Summer ordered as Michelle, Billy and Martha looked up. They were at Michelle's house. Michelle, Billy and Martha looked disbelievingly as Gordon, Alicia, Zac and Frankie went in. Gordon and Alicia wearing neutral expression while Zac and Frankie looked between guilty and sheepish.

"You know I like having you all here, but what are you doing here?" Michelle asked.

"They," Summer said shooting daggers at all of them, "crashed my date with Dylan."

"Even Gordon and Alicia?" Martha asked shocked at the same time Michelle said, "I knew I should have babysat Frankie."

Frankie looked offended by what Michelle said. But before anything happened Alicia said, "Me and Gordon were already planning to watch it. When we saw you and your date we decided to leave you guys alone. Honest."

Summer looked at her and Gordon intently before saying, "You're cleared." She then turned to Zac and Frankie who both gulped nervously, "Now you two."

"Now Summer, please remember, you love me and I have done a lot of nice things to you," Zac said nervously.

"Someone has to take care of you," Frankie said. Michelle thought was brave. Summer was about to kill him.

"Frankie!" Summer yelled.

"You were with the enemy," Frankie yelled back.

"This is more interesting than TV," Billy muttered quietly to Martha who nodded watching the scene unfold before them.

"What enemy? How is Dylan the enemy?" Summer yelled out.

For the rest of the movie, Summer had to endure Frankie butting in before one of the people who work in the cinema kicked them all out. Even Alicia and Gordon who protested they were not part of the 'looney' group.

"I don't know. You know I can only handle so much pressure," Frankie shouted.

"I think both of you should stop shouting," Michelle interrupted, "One , it makes your throat sore and nothing good comes out of yelling and two I don't really want my neighbors complaining."

Summer and Frankie looked at her before looking at each other once more.

"I'm sorry I ruined your date," Frankie said reluctantly, "I won't do it again."

"And I'll make sure he won't be there," Zac said.

"Fine," Summer said as she let out her breath.

"So you guys wanna hang out with us?" Martha asked

"We are having a movie marathon," Billy informed them

Alicia, Gordon, Frankie, Zac and Summer all looked at each other before saying ,"Sure."

Okay two chapters done at one go. From the previous chapter what did Michelle's parents tell her? What do you think would happen when Summer and Dylan meet after this? Chapter 13 will be up soon (I hope) so till then :)
