[continued]
"Come on, Ava!" My mom shouted. "You said the movie's at seven!"
"III knoww! I'm coming!" I shouted back.
Glancing at the time shown on my iHome, I quickened my pace. Getting ready for this date was going to be harder than I thought. I had to look sexy but not slutty, cute but not kiddish, conservative but not "I'm from the times of my great-grandmother". I had on my favorite pair of AG jeans, which fortunately for me are also flattering for "my curves". I began filing through my closet in search of the perfect T-shirt. I picked out a sky blue one, and immediately realized it was the worst shirt to wear on a date with Chris. It had a cartoon photograph of a couple, with the guy's face scratched out, and the words "EX-BOYFRIEND" written across the bottom of the picture. I shoved the shirt back in my closet and pulled out a navy blue and white striped hoodie. The U-neck was a little too low so I threw on a white tank top underneath. Luckily Chris is taller than me, so when wearing heels we're good. My black Mary-Jane heels looked cute, so I slipped them on and ran downstairs.

"Two for No Reservations." Chris told the ticket booth lady... or man. EW.
"Sure thing kid, enjoy your show." He/she said in a raspy tone, and handed him the tickets.
I was looking around to see if I could spot Josh and Amanda.
"Something wrong?" He asked me.
"Oh, umm no." I blushed.
"So..." He looked down at me and reached for my hand.
"So..." I looked up at him.
"Our movie doesn't start for another 20 minutes..."
He was making the moment seem seductive and some-what romantic, but I just wasn't feeling it. I just didn't like him as much as I liked Josh. But I played along, I couldn't blow it now.
"Yeah... whaddya wanna do?"
"I dunno... but I could start with this."
He reached down and pressed his lips against mine.
Afterwards, I smiled. He smiled too, but then spoke.
"Hehe, you taste good," he said as he licked the shimmery lip gloss from his lips.
At first I gave him a oh-really? you wanna take that back? look but remembering the whole Josh plan, I switched to a oh-really? want more? look.
He flashed a toothy grin and bent down for another kiss. But I left him wanting more. Instead, I grabbed his hand and we started to walk.

"What do you want?"
"Umm I'm kinda thirsty and then to add on to that the salty popcorn... how bout a drink."
We walked away from the candy counter to the soda dispenser, where oh-ehm-gee look who's there?!?! It's Josh and Amanda! Who would've guessed? ;D
"Heyy. Josh... Amanda... I didn't know you two would be here." I said.
"Actually I thought I told you yester-"
I quickly cut him off, "I know you told me yesterday that you two were now a couple and I think thats ah-dorable!"
"Actually I was gonna say..."
Amanda cut in, "Ah-dorable?"
"Yes ahvcourse! Why nawt? Look at you two."
"Oh... well I just thought that-" But Chris interrupted Amanda.
"Hey is Root Beer fine?"
"Huh? Oh yeah umm sure whatever."
I'm not a big fan of Root Beer but I didn't really care to much to notice.
Until he walked up to me and I whipped around knocking the drink out of his hands.
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!" I screamed the brown icy cold liquid drenched my shirt and I could feel chunks of ice slip down my shirt.
"Whoa! I am sooo sorry! Here, Ava lemme help you."
Chris began to lift the hoodie above my head. He handed it to me and stopped cocked his head and stared.... Josh did the same thing.
I looked down. OHMIGOSH! I forgot I was wearing the white tank top underneath and now it was drenched and almost comp-uh-letely see through! I covered myself with my arms and ran to the bathroom as fast as a geek goes through an old Pokemon game. Amanda ran after me.
"Ava wait!!!"
She opened the bathroom door.
"Hey I have this sweater if you want to wear it?"
"Ohmigawd yes. Thank you so much!"
"Hey what are friends for?"
"Stealing your hopefully boy-friends. Duh." is what I wanted to say, but of course didn't.
"Yeah I guess." I said.
"Hey you'll be fine, just slip on this sweater and go have a good time with, uh Chris." She smiled.
"Yeah thanks."
Oh sh-her easy for her to say. I'll be fine, how more fine can I be, just being showered in soda and all.
I put on the light lime green sweater, and walked out, with Amanda, toward the boys. Oh boy, I thought, this is gonna be one heck of a night.
"Underneath This Smile" by Hilary Duff
Underneath this smile
My world is slowly caving in
All the while
I'm hanging on
Cause that is all I know
Could you be the one to save me from every bad habit that has helped me dig this hole?
I've been hiding out for miles
Underneath this smile
