Chapter 5: My Best Friend's Girl
"I can't believe I let you choose the movie." Nate grumbles.
Caitlyn laughs and smiles. She chose My Best Friend's Girl.
"Why? Do you not like girly movies?" She says sarcastically.
He tries to put on an angry face, but in a matter of seconds he's laughing. She starts laughing, too.
"Do you want to go get dinner after the movie?" He asks after he pays for the tickets.
"You didn't have to pay for my ticket." Caitlyn grumbles as they get in the line for popcorn, completely avoiding Nate's question.
He laughs at her and says, "Yes I did."
Caitlyn rolls her eyes as they move up in the line. Her eyes light up a few minutes later as she realizes she avoided his question.
"Oh! Yeah I would!" She says laughing.
Nate looks at her confused at first, then starts laughing.
"Wow. You are so blonde." Nate says with a roll of his eyes.
Caitlyn gasps.
"You did so not call me a blonde!"
"I believe I did."
Caitlyn sticks her tongue out at him. He laughs.
"You're so mature."
Caitlyn smiles and says, "I know. Ooh! I want popcorn!"
She points to the biggest popcorn bag. He laughs and tells the cashier to get 2 cokes and large popcorn with butter on it.
"I can't believe you just ordered for me. Gah." Caitlyn says pretending to be mad.
Nate's face turns apologetic.
"I-I-I'm sorry. You can get something else.." He stutters while looking down embarrassed, a slight blush rising on his cheeks.
Caitlyn stands there shocked. Had she just made him blush?
I think I'm already falling for him.. Caitlyn thinks to herself.
"Nate, I was kidding. I love coke." She says with a slight smile.
Nate looks back into her eyes. He feels the sudden feeling to kiss her, but the cashier interrupts.
"Uh- Here's your food. It'll be 6 dollars please." She says while sending Caitlyn a look. If only looks could kill…
"Oh. Thanks, see ya at school Kelly." Nate says after paying and handing Caitlyn her coke.
"It's Sarah. See you Nate!" Sarah smiles, her blonde ponytail swinging as she does.
Nate walks away with popcorn in his hands and a coke. Caitlyn follows him quickly.
"Who was that and why was she sending me the famous death glare?" Caitlyn finally asks as they sit in some theater seats.
Nate rolls his eyes at the mention of the blonde.
"Oh, she's a cheerleader. She's had the biggest crush on me forever, but I don't like her. At all."
Caitlyn laughs at the expression on his face as he says the last two words. Nate laughs and starts thinking to himself as the previews begin to play.
I think I'm starting to fall for Caitlyn…
Nate froze. He has never fallen for someone before. He has never been in love, much less a relationship before. He's had a few crushes here and there, but nothing compared to what he feels when Caitlyn even looks at him with her gorgeous eyes..
"Nate? You there? I asked you for some popcorn. Stop hogging!" She whispers with a smile.
His heart flutters and laughs quietly.
"Here ya go, Cait." He says and hands her the popcorn.
Caitlyn smiles at the nickname. She has always demanded people to call her Caitlyn. Never Cait. Somehow, it feels right when he says it. There's something in his voice that makes it right. Like he was meant to meet her and give her that nickname. She continues to smile to herself as she watches at the previews. A few minutes later, when the movie is starting, both of the teenagers put their hands in the bucket.. at the same time. Their hands touch for a few minutes, before they both pull back. Blushes in the dark, hoping the other isn't looking. Sneaking glances at each other when they think the other one isn't looking.
