Okay, so I haven't written a chapter for this in ... forever? Well, since before Christmas last year. I think I owe you all an update, right? So here it is, the next chapter. I hope you guys like it and I apologize for the wait ... but this doesn't mean that I'm 100% focused on this; I want to continue writing one-shots! Anyway, I'll shut up. On with the next chapter!
P.S – Operation good humour is a go, Kelly ;)
"I don't think this is such a good idea…" I said as we entered the movie theater, my eyes shifting around searching for Nate. Mitchie rolled her eyes (well, I don't know this for sure but I'm pretty certain) and ignored me.
"Mitchie." I whisper hissed, pointing in the direction of Peggy who was about to look over. I pushed my best friend away from me and hurried in the other direction, knowing that later she'd moan at me for 'hurting her'. It was a little push that didn't even make her hit the floor (almost tripping over your own feet after the push does not count!).
"Caity!" I turned around (ignoring Mitchie's glare that clearly stated that she was angry about my little 'push'), coming face to face with Nate.
"Hey Natiekins!" I grinned, hugging him.
"Natiekins? It sounds like a Barbie version of me!" He said, wincing at my new nickname.
"Wait, they didn't tell you about the new Barbie they're selling? It does look suspiciously like you…" I said, feigning shock.
"If you mock me one more time I'll tell Tess you want to date Shane." He said, smirking at me.
"Don't you dare." I said through clenched teeth. Obviously I didn't like Shane (Nate knew this), but Tess believed anything that was either:
a). Going to get her more attention,
b). About someone famous,
c). Going to cause someone pain,
d). Something she could sell to a magazine,
e). All of the above.
At that moment Peggy and Mitchie walked up, both grinning.
"Hey guys!" Peggy said, while Mitchie hugged Nate and me (though I could have sworn she whispered "You are dead to me" in my ear). Is that creepy to you?
"Wow, Mitchie and Peggy, fancy seeing you here." I said - sounding very rehearsed. Probably because it was rehearsed– Mitchie had forced me to go over what I was going to say at least fifteen times so that I wouldn't blurt out something like "PEGGY, NATE WANTS TO SMOOCH WITH YOU! GO AND MAKE OUT, BYE."
Nate gave me a look that clearly said 'you are a terrible liar'. I doubt he'd guess what I was up to though so I ignored him (other than elbowing him in the ribs so he'd greet them as well).
"Hey you two." He said, nodding at them both.
Could he do any better than that? I mean, seriously?
"Hey, I've got an idea, why don't we see the same movie? What are you guys seeing?" Mitchie asked, pretending like she'd suddenly had this idea (she hadn't – she'd planned this for the past five hours in way too much detail).
"Um, the Dark Knight." Nate said, glancing at me confused.
"Oh, awesome. We'll watch with you! Is that okay with you Peggy?" Mitchie said, faking enthusiasm (you do not want to know how long it took me to make her agree to watch The Dark Knight with us – she thought Nate would agree to watch Twilight, which was the film she'd chosen with Peggy). Peggy nodded happily enough.
"I thought you hated gory films." Nate questioned, frowning.
"Well it isn't really gory, is it?" I said, coming to Mitchie's rescue (though I don't see why she deserved it).
"But you said Mitchie didn't like gory fi–" Nate started to speak but I cut him off.
"No I didn't." I said, glaring at him as I ushered everyone into the ticket line. Mitchie so owes me.
"Right." Nate said in a way that clearly was meant to be sarcastic. Good thing he fails at being sarcastic or Mitchie would probably bite my head off.
"I vote Nate pays for our tickets!" I said quickly.
"Oh, me too!" Mitchie ganged up on him along with me – both of us laughing.
"I'll pay for mine." Peggy offered, not used to the whole 'gang up on Nate' scenario. She has a lot to learn.
"No it's okay, I'll pay." Nate assured her, glaring at both Mitchie and I.
At least we're making progress – he paid for her ticket! Then again, he was paying for ours so it would seem a bit rude if – oh, whatever! It's a start! Operation Neggy is a go, Houston.
Once we finally got seated ten minutes later (Mitchie and I paid half on our own popcorn, leaving Nate and Peggy to buy their own – clever, huh?) I deliberately sat Mitchie at the end of the row with me next to her. Nate gave me a strange look before seating himself next to Peggy, who also looked pretty confused.
When the first part started (the bit where they rob the bank with the freaky clown masks that I tried to buy Nate for his birthday but couldn't find anywhere) almost all of it was spent with me laughing at Mitchie who screamed and covered her eyes about 90% of the time. Just about everyone was glaring at her by the end of the scene. I hated to think what she'd be like later on.
The answer? She screamed, closed her eyes and buried her head in Nate's shoulder. Wasn't that Peggy's job? To hide in Nate's shoulder while he wrapped his arm around her or something? Well it didn't happen. Peggy actually enjoyed it almost as much as I did. From Nate's face he liked it too, but he also kept giving Mitchie funny looks. Probably "what the hell are you doing on my shoulder?" looks, but I can't be sure.
As we filed out of the theatre I was laughing at Mitchie some more.
"I can't believe you made me watch it!" She groaned when Peggy and Nate were out of earshot, hitting me on the arm.
Peggy thought otherwise.
"That was a great film!" She said happily, grinning at everyone. I bet she was planning on stealing all our stationary or something. I don't like her that much.
Okay, maybe I do. But honestly – she never gave that pen back.
I promise I'll (try and) update soon! And also, what pairings do you want in this? I'm up for (pretty much) anything. Nitchie, Naitlyn, Jitchie, Jaitlyn, Neggy, Shaitlyn, Smitchie … just say! (:
P.S - I'll try and make the next chapter longer. I have issues with that xD.
