6 My Savior (1/2)

Would you like to go watch a movie with me this weekend? He said taking out the movie tickets from his pocket.

I was going to reject the offer but I saw Shaun coming into the class. I thought of it as an opportunity and immediately grabbed the tickets.

”I wanted to watch this movie, Ed. I gave him a bright smile.” It's great let's go this weekend.” I spoke in a loud voice so that Shaun could hear.

The lights of the theatre went off, and the silver screen in front of us lit up. I looked around in the dark and a pair of glistening eyes grasped my attention. The glow was intense yet familiar.

”He's my favorite actor, do you like him?” I turned around to Ed who was sitting beside me.

”Yeah, he's good,” I replied to him.

I noticed Ed's hand moving towards mine and immediately pulled my hand away. He awkwardly took his hand back.

”Why did I do it? That's what everyone does on a movie date. What's wrong with me.” I thought to myself.

When the movie ended I looked back for those eyes and got surprised seeing Shaun and Patricia there.

”What're they doing here?” I said pointing at them.

”They were here too, what a coincidence.” Ed took a look at them.

As we walked out to the lobby, Ed approached them. ”What a coincidence, we didn't know you guys were here too.”

”Neither did we. Patricia likes the actor from this movie a lot, so I thought of watching it with her.” Shaun glanced at me saying it.

”Should we have dinner together, then?” Patricia offered.

”We would love to but Ed and I have other plans, maybe next time,” I said holding Ed's arm.

”Okay then see you at school,” Shaun said.

We walked out of the theatre.

”So where are we going next?” Ed inquired smiling.

”Sorry, Ed but I'm a bit tired, can you drop me off at home.”

”Yeah, you should rest at home. No worries.”

I was walking down to the dining hall with Emily when I remembered that I forgot my phone in the class.

”Emily, I forgot my phone in the class. Stay here I'll be back in a moment.”

”How can you be so absent-minded Claire.” she sighed.

On arriving there I saw a note on my desk.
