High School

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela smiles back at him and grabs her bag from her locker. "So, what are we going to watch?" She asks, pushing some of her bangs behind her ear. She slings her bag over her shoulder and clasps her hands behind her back. "As long as it's not a chick flick I'm game." She laughs and glances around Emery to see Harley standing there, glaring at her.

Emery leans against his locker, and shrugs. "I was sort of hoping you'd choose. I'm all for horror but, that might not be your thing." He says, then sees Harley standing there, glaring at Leela. Awkward. He looks around as though he didn't see her, checking his phone. He didn't know why he even had a phone, he only ever used it for music. He watches Harley and Leela from the corner of his eye.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"One second." Leela says and walks over to Harley. "What the hell is your problem?" Harley asks her and Leela's face turns confused. "I don't know what you're talking about." She says and Harley shakes her head. "You lied to me." Harley spits and Leela sighs. "No, I didn't. I'm not dating him, we're going to watch a movie." Leela says, bored. "Well, see you." Leela waves then walks back to Emery. "Sorry about that. Anyway, I'm good with horror." She says, smiling again.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery nods, it was rare that he actually met someone who liked horror films, but he supposed that maybe was because the type of horror he liked was the hardcore stuff, nail ripping, teeth pulling, gore. He gestures to Harley, standing up straight, and starts to leave. "What was her problem?" He asks as they walk through the door.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"Oh, she acts as if she's head over heels in love with you." Leela says naturally and walks side by side with Emery. "Honestly, she doesn't even know you, how could she be so caught up with you? It confuses me." She shrugs and adjusts her bag on her back. She didn't understand love, it was all a mystery to her. Then again Leela seriously doubted what Harley had for Emery was love.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery raises his eyebrows and grins a little, "it could be because I am a damn fine human being," He says, then after a moment, and in a way no one can hear except Leela, finishes his sentence, "well, I would be if I were human." His smile fades as they begin to walk to the town movie theatre. "If you have any film suggestions, speak up, or forever hold your peace." He says. The theatre isn't that far, and as he walks he makes sure to keep in pace with Leela. His phone vibrates in his pocket and he looks at it for a second, his brother calling him. He sighs and switches off his phone.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"Was that important?" Leela asks watching as he turns off his phone, then she shakes her head, it wasn't her business. "I don't really know any movies that are out at the moment." She says, biting her lip. "As long as it's scary I'm good, my dad rarely lets me watch scary movies." She sighs and pulls out her phone, she sends a text saying she was hanging with a friend for a while.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"It wasn't important, just annoying. And sure, scary, hmm.." He tries to think of any good scary movies that are out, and thinks of one. "Have you seen oculus yet?" He asks her as they near the movie theatre, a poster of it near the door. He had seen it, but he liked it, and wouldn't mind watching it again.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"Nope, seems awesome." She says and smiles at the poster before opening the door him. "After you my prince." She says and smirks, she had a feeling he hated being called that. She shrugs and walks in after him, loving the smell of popcorn that automatically hit her nostrils. "Mm." She moans, a bit of hunger starting to hit her stomach. She seemed to always be hungry out of school, but never hungry in school.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

He rolls his eyes at her calling him a prince, and walks inside. "I'll pay, you want popcorn?" He asks her as he walks up to buy tickets for the movie. The person behind the desk recognises him, and her eyes widen slightly as she gets the tickets sorted.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"Oh, uh. That's okay. I have money." Leela says, noticing how the girl behind the counter reacted. "Weird, everybody seems to know you, though, I didn't have the slightest clue of who you were." She says and pulls the remainder of the ten dollars she got from her father.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery laughs, "A lot of people work for my father." And when his father died, his brother would take over. Emery pays for his own ticket, then waits for Leela. He looks around, a few people from his school were in the cinema with their friends. He looked back at Leela.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela pays for her ticket and smiles at the girl behind the counter. She then glances around her, also seeing other people. "I hope they don't see us." She says, it's not that she didn't want them to see her and Emery together, she just didn't want them to get the wrong idea.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery nods, and walks to the room they were showing the movie in quietly. When they get inside he walks to the back of the room, into the far corner, and sits on the seat next to the wall. He still had his school bag with him because he hadn't gone home, so while he waited for Leela to sit down, he opened it and got out his bottle, opening it and taking a few gulps.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela soon finds her seat and sits down next to Emery. "So is this movie any good?" She asks him looking at the screen as the previews start going. "I've heard it was." She says, smelling blood but she shook it off. She knew he needed it so she didn't say anything.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery nods, putting his bottle on the floor by his feet, the cap screwed on. "It's actually really good. I'm not going to spoil anything though." He looks at her, then back at the screen. "Its jumpy in some places." He warned her, just incase she didn't like jumpy films.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"Perfect." Leela says and puts her feet up on the back of the empty chair on front of her. "Jumpy movies are the best kinds." She feels her phone vibrate and cringes, she turns it off discretely, and goes back to watching the screen patiently waiting for the movie to start as more people show up.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"They're pretty good, but gore movies are my personal favourite." He smirks slightly, and as people finally finish filing into the room, it goes dark, and the film begins, the cinema goes silent. Emery watches, knowing when everything is going to happen, but when the jumpy bits come on, he still jumps a little bit.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela jumps at a part, then laughs a little bit. "Whoa." She whispers, then looks over to Emery and smiles. "This is so cool." She whispers a bit quieter, she didn't want to cause attention to themselves. She pulls her knees up to her chest and rests her head on them, she felt kind of tired, probably because of the nearing full moon.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery grins, glad that she was liking the movie, and carries on watching as it comes to an end, the epic finale. Once it finishes, people whisper excitedly as they leave their seats and the room. Emery waits for Leela to leave before he does, seen as he didn't want to climb over her or anything. He stuffs his bottle in the bag, having drank half of it during the movie.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela smiles as it ends, it was a great movie. She stands up and pops her back before walking to the aisle. She looks back to see him stuffing something in his bag and she leans against the wall. "Hurry it up would ya?" She calls jokingly and crosses her arms. Another yawn escapes her mouth and she rubs her eyes, they felt like they were bloodshot again.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

After stuffing it in he walks into the aisle with Leela. "Did you like it?" He asks, turning his phone on as they walk out of the room. It was the second time he'd seen that movie, and he had loved it just as much as the first time. As his phone turns on he sees 5 missed calls from his brother, and god knows how many texts. He sighed, looks like he'd have to go home pretty soon.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"Like it? It was amazing." She says, smiling at him and walking to the door. "Crap. I forgot my bike again. I swear that things going to get stolen one of these days." She says, hitting herself in the forehead. "I'm so stupid."

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Do you want me to go with you to get it?" He asks, really trying to elongate his way home. He did not want to see his father and get told how much of a disgrace he was. In all honesty, he felt like draining someone again, but he wouldn't. He smiles at Leela, stuffing his hand in his pocket, when his phone rings again. He looks at whose calling, and debates whether or not to answer.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

She raises an eyebrow at him. "It looks like whoever that is, needs to talk to you." She says, and bites her lip. "You can come if you want." Leela says, then takes her hair out of it's braid. It was starting to hurt her head and when she takes it down it looks wavy and messy. If the person who was calling him was his family she didn't want to keep him away, but if he really wanted to come she couldn't say no.
